Chapter 120: Bewitched

Song Zhi looked at Jiang Yue and calmly said, “We would never resort to such tactics. If Miss Jiang Yue has any reservations, we can have doctors from multiple hospitals examine you.”
Finishing his sentence, and without waiting for Jiang Yue to respond, Song Zhi shifted the topic. “About the video displayed on the big screen earlier, I’m not sure how it came to be, but I can say for certain that what happened in it is true.”
Jiang Yue’s face turned ashen. Her eyes, filled with fear, met Song Zhi’s gaze. Clinging weakly to Song Ling’s arm, her eyes wet with tears, she pitifully whispered, “Brother Song Ling…”
Song Ling lowered his eyes, remaining silent, leaving everyone uncertain of his thoughts.
Though Wang Lan was furious about Jiang Yue deceiving her about the hand injury, the thought that the family patriarch’s ultimate aim was to make Song Ling despise Jiang Yue and marry Gu Dai was even more unbearable.
So, Wang Lan stepped up to defend Jiang Yue. “Yueyue is just an innocent young girl. Isn’t it wrong for the patriarch to frame her just because he favors Gu Dai?”
The look in Song Zhi’s eyes changed at Wang Lan’s words.
He had never had much to say about the patriarch’s opinion of Wang Lan being foolish since he was but a servant and rarely interacted with her. Now that he had met her, he realized the patriarch wasn’t wrong—Wang Lan was genuinely foolish.
Sighing inwardly, Song Zhi looked up at Wang Lan and seriously said, “If the madam doesn’t believe me, that’s fine. The patriarch has prepared a witness.”
As Song Zhi’s words echoed, he signaled for someone waiting outside to come in.
Jiang Yue felt even more uneasy, fearing that something terrible was about to happen. She now regretted not agreeing when Song Ling had suggested postponing the wedding. Who was this witness Song Zhi was talking about?
Surely he was only saying that to scare her. They couldn’t possibly have found a witness!
But the next second, when she saw the man who walked through the door, her pupils dilated in shock.
Sun Lin stepped in without any hesitation and bluntly said, “The video shown on the big screen is true. Miss Jiang Yue came to my office to seduce me for a role in a stage play. She even said she liked and admired me!”
Jiang Yue’s eyes flickered. Pointing at Sun Lin, she exclaimed, “Someone must have instructed you to say this, right?”
Turning quickly towards Song Ling, she wept, “Brother Song Ling, Sun Lin is not a good man. He’s lying to ruin my reputation. Can you please have him removed? Please throw him out…”
Indeed, Sun Lin had been instructed by someone, but Jiang Yue’s initial seduction was also a reality.
Sun Lin had indeed grown fond of Jiang Yue. After all, who could resist such a stunning beauty?
Sun Lin had never expected this turn of events. Jiang Yue, who had once tenderly cajoled him in bed, was now branding him a liar after getting involved with another man.
Fury reddening his eyes, Sun Lin’s chubby face trembled as he spoke, “Since Miss Jiang Yue is so heartless, then don’t blame me for revealing even more shocking information. The question is, do you all want to hear it?”
Jiang Yue was stunned, at a loss for what Sun Lin was about to reveal.
Hadn’t she cleared all her dark history before returning to the country? How could Sun Lin possibly have a backup?
He must be lying!
Although Jiang Yue reassured herself internally that Sun Lin was bluffing, her body felt like it was encased in a block of ice. She was so scared that she began to shiver uncontrollably.
Song Ling’s eyes were slightly downcast, and he quietly ordered, “Zhao Xuan, drag Sun Lin out.”
The burly men who were present earlier had already been dismissed. Zhao Xuan looked at his own slender frame and then at Sun Lin’s stout body. With a grimace, he mustered all the strength he could to drag Sun Lin out.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Lan nodded approvingly at Song Ling, “Well done, son. You didn’t fall for their tricks.”
Song Yu also skipped over to Jiang Yue’s side and whispered comfortingly, “Don’t worry, Sister Jiang Yue. We aren’t fools. We won’t fall for these obvious traps.”
Gu Dai’s eyes grew colder as she watched these people who believed Jiang Yue unconditionally. She couldn’t help but let out a soft, mocking chuckle. Pulling her emotions back into check, she quietly murmured, “What kind of spell has Jiang Yue cast? These people, especially Song Ling, are so bewitched that they don’t even question her. It’s particularly strange that Song Ling, who usually can’t stand lies, hasn’t noticed anything amiss..”
