Chapter 341

Sheng Man didn’t realise that something was wrong. She did notice that the reporters surrounded her and ignored Ye Zhi, so she was a little proud and had a huge smile on her face.

At the very next second, a reporter asked sharply, “Mrs. Sheng announced that you are the adopted daughter of the Sheng family. What’s the purpose of hiding your identity all this time?”

Sheng Man’s smile instantly became stiff as she said in disbelief, “What did you say?”

A reporter sarcastically replied, “Mrs. Sheng held a press conference just now and announced that you are merely the adopted daughter of the Sheng family.”

“This matter might not have been known to others, but you have replaced someone else’s identity for so long, so how is it possible for you to have no idea about it?”

Sheng Man’s heart fell heavily. The fear that she was most afraid of had finally happened. Nie Jiqing really gave up on her this time— and she did not leave any room for sympathy in the public eye.

Why did Nie Jiqing suddenly announce this? Why didn’t Nie Jiqing tell her at all? Why was Nie Jiqing so cruel?

The hurtful questions of the reporters were thrown one after another, gradually becoming harder for Sheng Man to answer.

“The Sheng family took back your mansion. What did you do to anger Mrs. Sheng?”

“You are now the abandoned child of the Sheng family, so where will you go in the future? Will you go back to the Sheng family to ask for forgiveness or will you cut off all your ties with the Sheng family completely?”

“…”

Sheng Man was extremely pale. She pinched her hand tightly as her lips had also lost her usually vibrant redness.

She tried to defend herself, but she realised that she couldn’t say much.

Everyone was right— everything she owned was given to her by the Sheng family, so it was natural for the Sheng family to take back the things that never belonged to her in the first place.

Ye Zhi stood not far away and saw Sheng Man’s pale and embarrassed expression when the reporters hurled sensitive questions her way.

She was also a little surprised that Nie Jiqing announced the matter so abruptly and Sheng Man seemed to be completely unaware as well.

Nie Jiqing did this on purpose. She deliberately chose such a time where Sheng Man would be surrounded by reporters. She intended for her to be questioned without giving her a chance to even breathe.

At this time, Zhou Pingyu walked over to Ye Zhi and whispered, “I didn’t expect Sheng Man to merely be the adopted daughter of the Sheng family; that was really unpredictable.”

Ye Zhi raised her eyebrows and calmly stated, “Yes, it was really unpredictable.”

Ye Zhi’s eyes were a little cold. Sheng Man’s mansion was rescinded, so what else would await Sheng Man from now on?

Although these matters were certainly unpredictable, the bad guys would eventually be punished. Sheng Man and those who participated in the abduction and trafficking of the Sheng family’s real daughter would get their due retribution one by one.

Sister Huo stood next to Sheng Man and wanted to shield her as they tried to leave, but with the amount of reporters gathered around and blatantly pointing their microphones towards Sheng Man, they couldn’t get out of the spotlight at all.

How could they let Sheng Man leave when such a large cover-page-worthy incident broke out?

Sheng Man looked around blankly. She was panicking frantically and she desperately wanted someone to help her out of the current situation.

Sheng Man turned her head. From her peripheral view, she caught sight of Ye Zhi standing there and her eyes lit up.

If Ye Zhi could speak up for her, the reporters would most definitely lessen their need for harsh questions and tone down their eagerness to demand answers. Even if the help provided was from the very person she hated the most, Sheng Man didn’t care— she couldn’t afford to care, after all.

Sheng Man looked at Ye Zhi as she pleaded with her eyes.

Help me.
