nWen Yaoting stared at her with his jaw wide open.

nHe couldn't believe that she actually spilled her plan like that!

n

"Jiang Ruiling... W-what are you saying? Why will I flirt with a woman tonight? If you are talking about that waitress, then it's a misunderstanding. I was just helping her. That's all!

"

nThe jealous socialite took this as a chance to put mud on her face. She gasped.

"Oh God, how can you be so vicious, Jiang Ruiling? Even if you would have seen him flirting, isn't it going too far to frame him? Did you want to ruin his reputation that badly? How could you be so cruel?

"

nHearing this, the other guests couldn't help but agree too.

n

"Indeed this is too much.

"

n

"She could have asked him for an explanation instead of making such an elaborate plan.

"

n

"Yes, yes framing an innocent man to be a rapist? This is too much.

"

nEverybody started to look at her in disdain. Shen Yang clenched his fist and almost stepped in the front to defend her, but Lihua quietly shook her head.

nJiang Ruiling stood straight.

"I understand that it might seem too extreme, but I just wanted to show Wen Yaoting's true nature.

"

nThe Old Madam said,

"What true nature!? And didn't he already clear that he was just trying to help her?

"

nLihua quickly said,

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. I know that everything is shocking but let's just hear her out. Jiang Ruiling is a mature woman. She wouldn't do such a thing without thinking about it. Am I right, Shen Yang?

"

nShen Yang stood in attention.

"Yes, Madam Lixue. I have seen on quite a few occasions that Mr. Wen Yaoting is quite frivolous. During his and young mistress's first date, he unscrupulously tried to touch her even though she was clearly uncomfortable. It was shocking for young mistress to know that he could act so intimate when they just met for the first time.

"

nThe others whispered.

n

"Even tonight, I saw Mr. Wen Yaoting flirting with that waitress. He claims that he was just helping her, but what kind of help required him to hold her waist and touch her hair?

"

nWen Yaoting clenched his jaw in anger.

nThe others glanced at each other in shock.

nWen Yaoting really did that?

n

"I have served the Jiang family for many years now and as such, I feel it is my duty to stand up for the young mistress if I see someone doing something morally wrong towards her. My loyalty lies in her. I might have stepped out of the line, but I did my best to remind Mr. Wen of his responsibilities as he is going to marry her soon. But to my disappointment, he admonished me for it.

"

nWen Yaoting exclaimed.

"You bastard! You are just spinning lies! How dare you accuse me!

"

nWen Qiang gravely said,

"Old Madam, I understand your daughter might have some concerns but this…

"

nThe Old Madam gritted her teeth.

nJiang Weiyuan narrowed his eyes.

"That waitress. Bring her here.

"

nRuomei sneered.

nShe had already bribed that waitress to disregard all of her claims and talk in Wen Yaoting's favor.

nA minute later, the waitress timidly arrived and she bowed.

"I-I was called here…

"

nJiang Li asked,

"Is she the same waitress?

"

nShen Yang nodded.

nHe shot a sharp stare at her.

"Is it true that Wen Yaoting flirted with you?

"

nShe bit her lip.

"That...Y-Yes... Please don't punish me! I am new here, so I-I really didn't know that Mr. Wen was going to get engaged tonight. I thought he was single so I...if I had known that it was his engagement ceremony tonight, I would have never done anything like that!

"

nRuomei was dumbstruck. She stared at the waitress in horror.

nShe was supposed to refute the claims! Why is she agreeing to it!?

nWen Yaoting broke into a cold sweat.

nJiang Li tilted his head.

"So you didn't know about tonight?

"

n

"I swear I didn't, Sir. I mean I knew there was going to be a ceremony here, but I was unaware that the man I was talking to was Mr. Wen. A-and he didn't push me away nor mention his fiance so I really thought that he was single.

"

nThe guests gasped.

nLihua feigned to act shocked.

"This is ridiculous! She was unaware is what I can understand, but Wen Yaoting you...you were supposed to reject her advances since you are going to marry Jiang Ruiling but…

"

nThe others nodded their heads.

n

"Indeed, it's true.

"

n

"To flirt on your engagement night is…

"

nWen Yaoting gritted his teeth.

"This waitress is lying! Jiang Ruiling must have bribed her to frame me!

"

nAt that moment, Renshu entered and said,

"I have something to show you all.

"

nHe played a CCTV footage on his tab and it lit up with the corridor scene of the time when Wen Yaoting was flirting with the waitress.

n

"Mr. Wen. You didn't forget that even if you lie, the cameras record everything, right?

"

nHe froze.

nIn the footage, it was clear how he was getting touchy with the waitress. Instead of steering away from her, he instead pulled her towards him to get even closer to her.

n

"T-this is just…

"

nThen when Shen Yang confronted him, he didn't act embarrassed at all. Instead, he got into an argument with him.

nWen Qiang and his wife were too ashamed to face everyone.

nThis idiot son!

n

"Yaoting! How dare you!

" He roared.

nWen Yaoting turned pale.

"Dad that…

"

n

"Shut up! How could you do this!? Do you have any shame left in you?

"

nLihua pursed her lips.

"This is so sad for Jiang Ruiling. How could Wen Yaoting do this? Not only this. There is one other major point here.

"

nJiang Ninghong said,

"What might that be?

"

n

"According to Jiang Ruiling's plan, it was supposed to be Wen Yaoting in the room here. But somehow, it wasn't him but this strange goon who attacked her. It sounds so suspicious as if... somebody already knew about her plan beforehand.

"
