Chapter 1114: Chapter 1114: Counter-Framing (Part 3)
Yan Weiyang’s expression changed, instantly becoming very unsightly.
Internally, she was in a panic, "Xia Weibao, stop talking nonsense. When did I ever knock into you?"
Xia Weibao shrugged, "If you say you didn’t, then you didn’t."
After saying that, she muttered under her breath, "It was just a bump; why are you so quick to deny it? Acting as if you have a guilty conscience."
After speaking, she pulled Lu Huashan away.
Everyone here is smart; some things don’t need to be pointed out explicitly.
Just a hint is enough. She believes that with Yan Lingyi and Yan Fei’s astuteness, there’s no way they wouldn’t understand.
Having turned the tables on Yan Weiyang, Her Majesty the Empress happily went off to enjoy a feast.
The Fang Family has money; not eating would be a waste.
Zhang Fanfan seemed to have realized the purpose behind Xia Weibao’s words.
Just now, she insisted on searching Xia Weibao’s bag. Maybe others didn’t know, but she believed that Yan Fei and Yan Lingyi, along with a few key figures, must already have their suspicions.
Someone framed Xia Weibao by putting the hair clip in her bag in advance.
And Xia Weibao suddenly claiming Yan Weiyang bumped her clearly insinuates that Yan Weiyang planted the hair clip.
Since someone was diverting blame, Zhang Fanfan naturally wouldn’t dare to confess herself.
Whether Yan Lingyi, Yan Fei, or Old Chief Fang, these were people she couldn’t afford to offend.
Ultimately, Yan Weiyang was the mastermind and also the daughter of the Yan Family. Even if they were exposed, it wouldn’t matter.
Thinking this, Zhang Fanfan quickly snuck away.
Yan Weiyang’s hands and feet felt cold, with a heart filled with hatred, wanting to tear Xia Weibao into pieces!
Damn it, daring to frame her!
The most infuriating part was Zhang Fanfan actually leaving.
If at this moment Zhang Fanfan proactively took the blame, maybe things could be smoothed over, but Zhang Fanfan left, leaving no one to bear the guilt for her!
She couldn’t possibly throw Zhang Fanfan under the bus, could she? That would be acknowledging her involvement.
Yan Lingyi and Yan Fei, being naturally suspicious, will definitely think in different directions.
Yan Weiyang felt she had swallowed a pound of bitter herbs, unable to voice her bitterness.
She couldn’t be more frustrated.
Looking up to meet Yan Lingyi and Yan Fei’s probing yet disappointed gaze, Yan Weiyang’s heart sank instantly.
It’s over.
After such an incident, the Yan Family lost the mood for socializing and left after bidding farewell to Old Chief Fang.
Inside the Presidential Mansion, Yan Lingyi and Yan Fei sat on the main sofa, while Yan Yuexian sat on the right side.
Yan Weiyang sat on the left side, her head lowered, feeling uneasy.
"Weiyang, tell mom the truth, did you put the hair clip in Xia Weibao’s bag?" Yan Lingyi asked pensively, her eyes filled with an emotion hard for others to discern.
Yan Weiyang lifted her head, her eyes red with moisture, covering an endless grievance underneath.
This tactic had always worked for Yan Lingyi.
"Mom, no, I truly know nothing about it."
Yan Lingyi shifted her gaze, not looking directly into her eyes.
After all, she owed it to her daughter for so many years, afraid that looking into those pitiful eyes would soften her heart.
"You knocked Xia Weibao’s bag down; you had the best chance to put something inside. How do you explain that?"
"I didn’t bump into her! Mom, you have to believe me; I really didn’t bump into her!"
Yan Weiyang was getting emotional; she truly didn’t bump Xia Weibao!
That vile person framed her!
"Mom, how can you believe an outsider’s words over mine? I’m your daughter."
Yan Lingyi’s expression was complex, filled with inner turmoil.
Because this was her daughter, her disappointment was even deeper.
