Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Wu Minxia did not mention any names, every word she said reminded everyone that it was Xing Shu who was scheming back then and resorted to underhanded means to make the Xing family not know their biological daughter.

Xing Linlin was very satisfied with Wu Minxia’s explanation. Her eyes also turned red. “Mom, don’t say that. I didn’t want to hide it. I was just worried that

I would hurt someone else’s heart.”

Xing Shu looked on with mirth. Xing Linlin and Wu Minxia-this mother-daughter pair-were slandering her with the meaning between the lines. Not only that, Xing Linlin even found a perfect excuse for her illicit affair with Cheng Xingyang the reason why she was with Cheng Xingyang in private was because she was afraid that she would hurt Xing Shu if she knew. How utterly shameless.

Everyone understood the hidden meaning behind Xing Linlin’s words and turned to look at Xing Shu. Their eyes were brimming with mockery and contempt. “After usurping Xing Linlin’s identity for more than 10 years, she doesn’t seem guilty at all?”

“In that case, Xing Linlin and Cheng Xingyang are the real engaged couple.

Xing Shu—the usurper—is a mistress?”

“She became a mistress and deliberately released such a video to ruin Cheng Xingyang and Xing Linlin with public opinion. How vicious.”

Everyone recalled the viral sex video that had been circulated in the Beijing upper-class circle. If Cheng Xingyang and Xing Linlin were originally engaged, what was wrong with them having sex?

Everyone felt that Xing Shu was scheming and played dirty. They retreated one after another, not wanting to be too close to her. Faced with these gazes and actions, Xing Shu still had a smile on her face. There was no disappointment, panic, or fear that everyone wanted to see. There was nothing. She looked too calm, so calm that everything seemed to have nothing to do with her.

For some reason, everyone’s gaze turned to Cheng Lang. Cheng Lang sat in the corner and fiddled with the Buddhist bracelet on his wrist. His condition was inexplicably similar to Xing Shu’s.

Xing Linlin and Wu Minxia—who were standing on the stage—had been acting for so long. Seeing Xing Shu’s aloof reaction, they were embarrassed. The atmosphere also became subtle.

Wu Minxia finally cut to the chase. “Xing Shu, come up too. I have something to tell you.” Her tone softened a little, but her gaze was threatening. Xing Shu snorted. “If you have something to say, just say it. I can hear you perfectly well from here.’

Wu Minxia felt humiliated and angry. After all, she had raised Xing Shu for so many years. She did not expect Xing Shu to be so disrespectful and embarrass her in front of so many people. She did not know how to react. Instead, Xing Linlin added, “Mom, Xing Shu is in a bad mood tonight. Don’t force her. It’s all my fault. There are so many people here tonight. Let’s not talk about it anymore. We’ll talk in private.” In the face of Xing Shu—who had stolen her identity—Xing Linlin was still defending her. How kind.

Everyone was touched. They regarded Xing Shu with contempt.

Cheng Xingyang—who was standing in the crowd—could not help but speak first. “Xing Shu, don’t always put on an aloof attitude. Shouldn’t you apologize to Linlin?”

Chen Ru was shocked and annoyed. Didn’t she tell Cheng Xingyang not to stand out? Cheng Xingyang did not know what was wrong with him either. When he saw Xing Shu’s disregard for everything, he was angry. More importantly, Xing Shu’s temperament was too similar to Cheng Lang’s, making him panic. Even if he was blaming Xing Shu and hating her at this moment, when he thought about how he was about to annul the engagement to her, his eyes turned red. Why was he like this? Why was he so reluctant?

“Apologize to Xing Linlin?” Xing Shu raised her eyes and looked at Cheng

Xingyang. “Why should I apologize to her?”

Cheng Xingyang took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “You deliberately usurped Linlin’s identity for so many years and stole her parents. If it weren’t for you, Linlin wouldn’t have suffered so much. You still have the cheek to ask why you should apologize to her?’

Everyone around him echoed. They only felt that Xing Shu was shameless. She was still quibbling at a time like this. Previously, they had heard that Xing Shu had been bullying Xing Linlin in the Xing family. She acted one way in public and another behind everyone’s back. Now, it seemed that those rumors were true.

Xing Shu said indifferently, “Back then, I was only 10 years old when I was brought back to the Xing family. How could a 10-year-old child deceive the Xing family? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? If I were really so capable, the Xing family should have fallen into my hands by now..”
