Chapter 94: Why Did She Resist?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This woman was the one who directed the whole thing and made someone else become the culprit. She even pretended to be magnanimous and said she would forgive Qiao Xi! How could there be such a hypocritical and vicious woman in this world?!
The guests could not stand it anymore. “The Meng family is obviously bullying Qiao Xi because she has no background and is alone and helpless, right? Fortunately, Mingfeng Hotel has hidden cameras. If it weren’t for that, how many years would Qiao Xi have to spend in jail if she were really taken away by the police?”
“How many years in prison? This is a dress that costs 800 million yuan. Her jail time would reflect this astronomical amount!”
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Meng Wan looked so kind on the surface, but she actually pushed the blame to others.
When Meng Wan heard the crowd’s ridicule, her face alternated between green and white. She wished for nothing more than to tear Qiao Xi into pieces!
She shouted angrily at the manager, “You’re clearly working for the Meng family. This is a hotel under the Meng family’s control. Why are you speaking up for Qiao Xi?!”
The manager’s smile did not change. He took a step back and explained, “I’m sorry, Miss Meng. I think a person has to have a conscience. I can’t frame innocent people for the sake of my job.”
Everyone around her was already laughing. Was the manager not implying that Meng Wan was heartless? Meng Wan was flustered and exasperated. This was the first time in her life that she was mocked by so many people. She wanted to berate them to stop laughing, but because she was too angry, she could only glare at all the people who were mocking her.
B*tches, they were all b*tches!
“Qiao Xi, are you having an affair with the manager of the hotel? You’re too shameless. You actually bribed the manager to speak up for you like this!” Meng Wan could not figure out why the manager would help Qiao Xi. She could only come up with this nasty speculation. Did Qiao Xi sleep with the manager and use her body in exchange for his help?
The others did not expect Meng Wan’s thoughts to be so dirty. They could not help but say, “Miss Meng, the manager has already said that the reason he released the surveillance footage is that he has a conscience and couldn’t stand seeing the Meng family bullying a girl with no status and background. Moreover, it was your friend who demanded the surveillance footage be released. The manager just listened to your friend. What does it have to do with Qiao Xi?”
“The Meng family’s upbringing has really opened my eyes. After the truth is exposed, they’re not even apologizing but want to push the blame to others instead. They’re trying their best to slander others.”
Their words made Madam Meng’s expression change drastically. “Wan Wan!”
Unfortunately, Meng Wan had already lost all rationality and could not hear Madam Meng at all. She stared at Qiao Xi with red eyes. “Qiao Xi, tell me, did you sleep with the manager? You b*tch! B*tch!”
“Meng Wan!”
Madam Meng gritted her teeth and slapped Meng Wan. “Wake up! Are you stupid? There’s a limit to jokes. Have you ever thought that Qiao Xi would feel uncomfortable if you say such things?”
Hearing Madam Meng’s words, Qiao Xi smiled. Madam Meng was awesome. She wanted to deny the accusation of Meng Wan slandering others by calling it a joke? How could it be so easy?
“Mom, you hit me! You actually hit me because of that b*tch, Qiao Xi!”
Madam Meng looked at Meng Wan, whose tears were streaming down her face. Her heart ached for her, but she could not let Meng Wan go crazy in the banquet hall anymore. Otherwise, all the good reputation she had worked hard for over the years would be for naught.
“Wan Wan, apologize to Qiao Xi. You went too far with your joke. It has already completely exceeded your expectations for the matter to develop to this extent. You have to apologize for the harm Qiao Xi has suffered.”
Meng Wan covered her face and was on the verge of breaking down. She was already feeling so aggrieved, yet her mother still wanted her to apologize? What right did she have?!
Madam Meng’s gaze swept across the crowd as she adjusted her breathing. With the situation developing to this point, she could only let Wan Wan apologize first. As for whether Qiao Xi accepted it… Well, she had plenty of ways to make her accept it.
As long as Qiao Xi accepted the apology, the others would not say anything. As long as this matter was treated as a joke between the two young women, Wan Wan’s reputation would not be ruined. Otherwise…
However, Meng Wan did not understand her mother’s actions. She wiped her tears forcefully. “I won’t apologize! I’ll never apologize to her! Mom, I was the one who was wronged. Why should I apologize?! It was all Qiao Xi’s fault. I framed her, so she had to obediently accept it. Why did she resist? What right did she have to resist?!
Hearing these unreasonable words, Madam Meng almost gasped. Was this really her daughter? How could she be so stupid?!
She could not help but scowl and order again, “Apologize! Hurry up!”
