"Meng! You... you... what gives you the right to hit me?! I was trying to be kind! I sent Mr. Wang Sr. a message warning you not to fall for Lin Fan's trap, but you refused to listen!"
Su Mengqing was stunned by the slap. She staggered to her feet, grinding her teeth with an audible crack as tears of humiliation welled in her swollen, red eyes.
Turning her head, she stared fiercely at Mr. Wang Sr. and demanded, "Mr. Wang Sr., search your conscience! Tell everyone, loud and clear, did I send you a text message or not?"
Under the scrutinizing gaze of the crowd, Mr. Wang Sr.'s cheek twitched. "...No," he denied vehemently, shaking his head. "I didn't receive any message at all."
I absolutely cannot admit it. I can't admit it, not even if it kills me! If the Fang and Meng Families found out, all hell would break loose.
