The goon was baffled, seeing all the crowd. He looked aside and found himself to be tied to a chair.
"Hey, let me go!"
*Meowww*
Lihua, the cat, sharply escaped a dangerous sound, apparently annoyed by his screaming.
"Ah, ah!!!" The goon fumbled in his seat. "Damn you cat! You are the one who attacked me, bitch!"
Lihua, the human warned. "If you curse my cute cat again, then I will attack you the next time!"
Shen Yang grabbed his head and coldly said, "Spit it out who sent you here to attack young mistress."
Adrenaline rushed inside Ruomei, making her heart pound in her chest. She had an urge to flee.
"Somebody bribed you into doing this. Tell me who it was!"
The goon glanced at the crowd and his gaze fell upon Ruomei. She signaled him to keep his mouth shut.
Jiang Li stepped towards him and leaned. His quiet voice sent chills across the goon's spine. "It would be in your best interests to start talking so that I might think about reducing the torture you will go through."
His black orbs seemed so vicious at that moment that he choked in his throat. His instinct strongly rang an alarm to steer away from this man.
"T-t-that her! That woman gave me money!"
He pointed at Ruomei and Wen Yaoting. "And then that man told me to violate this woman here!"
The Old Madam shut her eyes.
Attacking Lihua was one thing, but to attack someone from her family and dragging the family's name down was something that she would never tolerate even if she chose her for Wei.
"Shi Ruomei…"
Ruomei cried. "T-this is all false! All this evidence is planted against me!"
Someone murmured, "You should really admit it now. You did everything because you were jealous of Jiang Lixue."
"Yeah and now she is even blaming her for everything."
"Wen Yaoting is just the same!"
"This womanizer is a really disgusting bastard!"
Jiang Weiyuan said, "So this is how you have raised your son, Wen Qiang."
His sharp words cut him through like a knife. Wen Qiang wiped his forehead. "I am extremely ashamed of my son. I-I don't know where I went wrong in raising him."
Lihua dryly said, "Oh please! Don't act as if you are a helpless parent. You knew about your son's frivolous and womanizer behavior. Everybody in the city knows this, yet you or your wife didn't discipline him at all! And so he kept on making the same mistakes. You turned him into what he is today. Parents should know when to intervene in their children's life. He is so unruly and disrespectful, but what did you do to correct that?"
"From a womanizer, he turned into a rapist and you hardly care at all. Don't try to act and gain sympathy now."
The guests strongly agreed to Lihua and admonished the Wen family thoroughly. Ruomei and Wen Yaoting were so embarrassed that they wanted to disappear.
The Old Madam said, "I think it's time for Shi Ruomei to go back to her Shi residence."
Ruomei turned pale. "O-Old Madam, you cannot do this...I beg you for forgiveness!" She collapsed on her knees and sobbed. "I became blind in my revenge. I really didn't want this to happen. Please give me another chance, Old Madam...I will change for the better!"
The Old Madam glowered at her and kicked her away. "You still have the nerve to ask for a second chance! You dare plot against my family and you want to live at the Jiang villa! Get lost!"
Wen Qiang slapped his son and said, "I disown you from the Web family, Yaoting! You brought nothing but shame to our family! You had a chance to marry such a good woman like Jiang Ruiling, yet you ruined everything!"
Wen Yaoting gritted his teeth. "Oh please! As if she is innocent!"
"You fool!" He roared. "You still have the face to blame her for planning against you!"
"I am not talking about that! Hah! Did you think that she planned all this just to show my true face? No! She had a hidden agenda of her own! She is a witch!"
Jiang Ruiling kept quiet. Shen Yang narrowed his eyes.
Wen Qiang had an urge to beat his son.
This fool is making everything even complicated!
He pointed at her. "If I am a womanizer then she is not any pure either. She and that damn bodyguard are in love with each other! She did this to make way for marrying him! I was just a stepping stone to make it successful," he sneered.
Silence.
The Old Madam's gaze darkened. "Wen Yaoting. I suggest you stay within your limits now or else there will be consequences."
He smirked. "What happened, Old Madam? Cannot hear the truth? If everything is out in the open, then let's bring the truth to its very end! Shi Ruomei told me this herself. Jiang Ruiling and Shen Yang have feelings for each other. That's why she did everything! She is not any saint either!"
Jiang Ninghong smiled. "Do you think that the Jiang family's daughter will fall in love with a mere bodyguard?"
Shen Yang stiffened.
"Ask Shi Ruomei!"
Ruomei slowly got up and said, "T-this is the truth. Jiang Ruiling and Shen Yang indeed love each other. But she knew that she would never get Old Madam's approval for their relationship, so she staged everything."
Lihua shook her head. "This is enough, Shi Ruomei. Now that you are caught, you just want to humiliate her somehow. Are there any limits to your lies? You have lied so much that nobody will believe you."
She gnashed her teeth in hatred. "Jiang Lixue! Don't act so innocent! In fact, you know the truth of their relationship too!"
She gasped. "Now you are crossing your limits, Shi Ruomei."
Wei pulled his wife back and stepped in the front. "What evidence do you have?"
