Chapter 37
Shen Ming found himself at a disadvantage. Even though Shen Xing’s reputation had been completely ruined, he was still worried that the Shen family’s reputation would be ruined as well. He shouted sternly, “Shen Mo, how dare you help an outsider! Get out of my way! I’m going to make this vicious girl suffer the consequences of her own actions!”
“Oh, I see. So he’s the gardener of the Shen family,” Qiao Nian said casually, her beautiful eyes shining with a strange light. There was an aura of power around her. “This is my first time coming to the Shen family. How did I collude with the gardener of the Shen family and let him ruin Miss Shen’s innocence?”
Glaring daggers at Qiao Nian, Shen Xing roared hysterically, “You’re a lunatic. You killed your good friend Li Chun and caused my sister to disappear off the face of the earth. Now, you’re even trying to harm me! You’re a demon from hell. You deserve to die and go to the eighteenth level of hell!”
Even Matriarch Gu was stunned. She would never believe that her darling child had come out of a mental hospital. She quickly said, “Miss Shen, you’re clearly in the wrong, yet you still want to drag my granddaughter-in-law into this. When we arrived, Qiao Nian wasn’t even here!”
Everyone looked at Qiao Nian doubtfully, narrowing their eyes. Qiao Nian looked like a fairy maiden, innocent and gentle. At the thought that she could have killed someone in the past, they couldn’t help but take a step back in fear.
Seeing the challenge in Qiao Nian’s eyes, Shen Ming walked in front of her and questioned, “Aren’t you a sharp-tongued girl? You’ve been plotting behind our backs—there’s no way you would admit to your deeds out loud!”
With the appearance of Shen Mo, those who initially believed in Qiao Nian’s innocence began to doubt her as well. Qiao Nian had said that she wasn’t familiar with the Shen family. Wasn’t this a direct contradiction?
There was a faint coldness at the corner of his lips and his eyes were slightly narrowed. He had a natural sense of alienation and indifference, and his entire body emitted a cold aura.
Upon hearing his voice, everyone was stunned for a moment. They turned their heads and looked over. Most people did not recognize Gu Zhou and began whispering to one another.
Su Yan had coincidentally seen a photograph of Gu Zhou in the past.. Seeing Gu Zhou approach, he knew that this farce would definitely end with the defeat of the Shen family.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she raised her brows and retorted, “You’re spouting nonsense without any evidence. Shen Xing, let me ask you. When did I drug you?”
Shen Mo took out his phone and saw that the WeChat group chat was already in an uproar. He could hear Shen Xing accusing Qiao Nian from afar. He could not help but frown.
Qiao Nian’s face was expressionless, but her heart was already surging with emotions. She had never managed to find Li Chun. Why did Shen Xing say that Li Chun was dead?
Hearing Qiao Nian’s voice, everyone’s gaze landed on the adulterer. Previously, they had only wanted to watch the show, and had completely forgotten about the adulterer.
She was clearly only a young lady in her twenties, but her aura was not in any way weaker than that of Shen Ming, who had been in the business world for thirty years.
Qiao Nian hadn’t wanted to continue pursuing the matter, but after hearing Shen Ming’s words, she knew that Shen Ming was trying to smear her reputation on purpose.
