Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Lin Ru looked down at Xiao Jinning, suddenly shook off her hand and said coldly, “You are wearing the same dress as you were in the video. Who could fabricate a video in such a short time to frame you?”

Seeing Xiao Jinning not speak, she felt it was so ironic. She had treated her own daughter with disdain and had even given her away to others for this kind of woman. She had broken her daughter’s heart, and now this cruel reality punished her hard!

“So what?” Xiao Jinning stumbled to her feet and stared at Lin Ru and the others, her face all red, and she shouted, “Even if no one set me up, so what? What’s wrong with me doing this? What did I do wrong?”

Seeing Xiao Jinning being impenitent, Xiao Hongyi suddenly got up and slapped Xiao Jinning across the face and said, “I have been doing nothing but cherishing a snake in my bosom! As of today, you, Xiao Jinning, are no longer a member of our Xiao Family. I will hold a press conference and inform the public of the truth. And you are going to be charged with attempted murder!”

Although he was not satisfied with his daughter, he couldn’t sit by and watch her being harmed like this!

“What evidence do you have against me?” Xiao Jinning glared at the crowd, crying and laughing. “What evidence do you have against me?”

“This video is the best evidence, and the sanatorium’s medical record is the best evidence!” Lin Ru said coldly, carrying her bag and walking out.

Now she finally understood why she had been having nightmares every night, of a child who would ask her tearfully why she didn’t save her back then—it turned out that the snake she had been keeping around her had almost killed her daughter.

It seemed that she hadn’t seen her daughter for almost two months. She had done as she said and no longer appeared before her eyes. She almost fell over to the ground as darkness fell over her vision. Xi Luoxian rushed forward and supported her body, asking, “Are you alright?”

“No!” Lin Ru said, and then began to cry out loud. Looking pityingly at Lin Ru who was crying like a child, Xi Luoxian sighed deeply. Then she hugged her, gently patted her back and comforted her in a low voice, “If you want to cry, then cry. Fortunately, it wasn’t too late for you to find out the truth. You can make it up to her before it’s too late. It’s late now. Go back and take a rest. Go talk with Xiao Hongli and his wife tomorrow. Jingxian and Xiao Hongli are both reasonable people and will understand you.”

Lin Ru shook her head and sobbed, saying, “I’ve always been competitive and tried to be the best in every aspect, but now I know how stupid I am. Because of my obsessiveness, I kept a snake by my side and almost killed my own daughter.”

“Well, don’t cry. You still have time to make up for your mistake and compensate Rourou.” That being said, however, Xi Luoxian knew it would be not easy for the two of them to get Xiao Rou’s forgiveness, because if Xiao Rou really wanted to forgive them, she would have told them at the hospital that Xiao Jinning wanted to murder her. Whether they believed it or not, she would have told them anyway. But she chose to keep silent, and then chose Xiao Hongli’s family as her family without hesitation in front of Grandpa Xiao...

Lin Ru forced a smile, but she knew that it would be too difficult for her to get Xiao Rou’s forgiveness.

Xiao Jinning sat on the ground with a red and swollen face. She knew that she was finished. She would no longer be able to stay in the Xiao Family, and neither would the Liu Family would accept her, and she would probably be expelled from the entertainment industry as well.

What was worse, in order to please Lin Ru, she had given all her money to her. The only card she had was the additional card to Lin Ru’s credit card. If her card was disabled by Lin Ru, how would she survive?

Lin Ru seemed to think of this too and she said coldly, “Xiao Jinning... no, I should call you Yao Jinning. I will give you the money you earned after deducting the money the Xiao Family spent on you all these years, and then we’ll be even. All of your jewelry and clothing were bought by the Xiao Family for you, so we will sell the jewelry. As for the clothes, we will donate them to the poor children in the mountain areas. You are not going to take a single thing from the Xiao Family!”

“Lin Ru! I curse you not to be able to die a natural death!” Xiao Jinning glared at Lin Ru with widened eyes and jumped up to attack Lin Ru, but before she could reach Lin Ru, she was caught by Liu Chengyu. Coldly, he looked at her and said, “Xiao... Yao Jinning, from now on, you’re no longer my fiancée.”

With that, Liu Chengyu took out his cell phone, opened his Weibo, typed what he said just now and posted the text and the video that Xiao Sa sent to him. Within an instant, his Weibo exploded.

As everybody knew that Xiao Jinning and he were lovers, many fans of Xiao Jinning followed his Weibo. As soon as Liu Chengyu posted the text and video, Xiao Jinning’s fans saw it, and then his Weibo was in an uproar.

“What? Is this woman in the video our goddess Jinning?”

“Oh, my god. Is this all true?”

“I just watched the video. I won’t like Xiao Jinning anymore. She is just too vicious!”

“God, this woman makes me sick. I can’t believe there is such a shameless person in the world! She not only took away what should belong to Xiao Rou, but also almost killed her!”

“Was this video fabricated by someone to frame Goddess Jinning?”

“Hey, are you blind? Xiao Jinning was interviewed by the media today at a charity dinner and at that time, she was wearing this dress. Who could fabricate such a video in such a short time to frame her?”

It wasn’t long before many people of the media also saw the post, and many internet celebrities forwarded it, praising Liu Chengyu as a real man who had the courage to correct mistakes, so more netizens saw the post. A short time later, topics such as “Xiao Jinning, a fake phoenix and real pheasant”, “Xiao Jinning committed attempted homicide”, and “Finding out about the real family background of Xiao Jinning, the Liu Family cancels their engagement” appeared among the most searched hashtags.

Xiao Jinning’s friends were also shocked to read the post. What was going on? Hadn’t Xiao Jinning told them that Xiao Rou was Xiao Hongli’s illegitimate daughter? Why had she suddenly become Xiao Hongyi’s daughter? And Xiao Jinning, who had been Xiao Hongyi’s daughter for more than twenty years, suddenly turned into a fake phoenix and real pheasant?

Her image of a goddess which Xiao Jinning had taken pains to build up collapsed in an instant because of the video.
