Next, Wang Yalin fully experienced what it means for misfortunes to come in waves.
The Qi family has finally cracked the IP address that Shaohua deliberately concealed! The person who posted that video was none other than Wang Yalin herself!
Qi Xiangheng refused to accept this result and shook his head agitatedly in the face of the evidence, saying, "This is impossible! Ya Lin would never do such a thing!"
But the Qi family all thought it was perfectly normal. How often had they seen such things? It was just the low-class tactics of some naive and materialistic women.
Occasionally, a rich young master might be fooled by a seemingly innocent Cinderella-like girl, willing to run away from home to insist on true love. They just never expected this to happen to Qi Xiangheng. Wasn't his good friend Xu Zifan supposed to be a womanizer, never getting involved with anyone? How come he's the complete opposite?
"Your father has already investigated and found out that Wang Yalin was kicked out of the Xu family. Although Feng Xiangjun gave her a villa, an apartment, and ten million yuan, what does that amount to to the daughter of one of the four major families?"
"Since there's no hope with the Xu family, clinging to you is her best option. What could be more convenient than finding a devoted long-term meal ticket? Maybe she's even eyeing becoming the young mistress of the Qi family! Xiang Heng, she's using you."
"This woman has ulterior motives. She sent the video after you fell asleep, and then your father went to look for you. In such a short time, who initiated the indecent assault? Do you really believe you would do that?"
"Even if you really did accidentally molest her in your dream, she woke up in the middle of the video, and there were no signs of forced entry on her door, so she obviously opened it herself. Isn't it obvious what she meant by continuing to sleep in your arms? She just wanted the elders to witness that scene and make you take responsibility for her."
Qi's mother and grandmother persuaded Qi Xiangheng several times, patiently explaining Wang Yalin's motives to him.
Grandpa Qi also showed him the evidence one by one, telling him not to be fooled and forbidding him from continuing to have contact with Wang Yalin.
But Qi Xiangheng couldn't accept it! He grew up with Xu Zifan and often saw this little sister; she was so cute, and her sweet words could melt anyone's heart. He had loved her since adolescence, secretly loving her for so many years, waiting for her to grow up. Didn't he know what kind of person she was?
He firmly believed there was a misunderstanding, but he was also distracted, and only his stubbornness kept him from sticking to his opinion, determined to find Wang Yalin and get to the bottom of things.
The Qi family didn't stop him, or rather, they didn't take Wang Yalin seriously at all. As long as she didn't enter the house, they didn't care that Wang Yalin was Qi Xiangheng's mistress. At most, they were just annoyed by the woman's methods of trying to climb the social ladder.
Wang Yalin was extremely irritable when she got home from school. But when she saw Qi Xiangheng looking somewhat haggard at the door, her expression immediately lit up with surprise.
She stepped forward and pulled him aside, looking him over with concern in her eyes. "Xiang Heng, are you alright? What happened when Uncle Qi suddenly came to take you away yesterday?"
Qi Xiangheng scrutinized her expression and asked her directly, "Did you deliberately invite me here yesterday? Before my dad came, did you really not know we were sleeping in the same bed?"
"Huh? What did you say?" Wang Yalin's heart skipped a beat, and a look of panic and astonishment flashed in her eyes. Although it was brief, Qi Xiangheng saw it clearly, and his heart sank.
But Wang Yalin reacted quickly, frowning and taking a step back, glaring at him angrily, "What do you mean? You suspect I slept with you? You! Even you are bullying me! Get out! I never want to see you again!"
Wang Yalin pointed at his hand, trembling with anger. She pushed him aside and tried to open the door to go inside, but she was so angry that she couldn't insert the key into the lock.
Qi Xiangheng was relieved to see her reaction, realizing he had overreacted. Of course, the girl would be surprised and flustered to hear someone doubt her.
He quickly grabbed Wang Yalin, opened the door for her, and followed her inside. He took out his phone to show her the video, saying, "Yalin, don't be angry. Look at this. This is what my family received last night, which is why my dad came to find me."
Wang Yalin had heard Qi's father mention the video but hadn't seen it, and she genuinely looked shocked and frightened. "Who filmed this? They filmed outside for hours and even opened the door. Have you found out anything about this?"
Seeing that her expression didn't seem fake, Qi Xiangheng felt more at ease. At the same time, he was still puzzled. "We found out that the video was posted from your IP address. Does anyone else have a key to your place? Maybe someone used a key to open the door and post it."
Wang Yalin was shocked, never expecting the Qi family to find out such a result. She tentatively asked, "Do your uncles and aunts suspect that I did it?"
Qi Xiangheng nodded with difficulty, "Don't worry, they only acted this way because they don't know you. I'll explain to them once I find out who did it."
"The house was prepared by the Xu family, and only the Xu family has the right to it." Wang Yalin started to cry, and when Qi Xiangheng tried to comfort her, she half-heartedly nestled into his arms. Half of her tears were feigned, and the other half were genuine grievances.
Why does everything she does go wrong? Why does everything she does fail at the last minute? If the Qi family only cared about her status, she could still find a way, but now that the Qi family despises her, how can she be with Qi Xiangheng?
Qi Xiangheng was alarmed by her crying and became even more convinced of her innocence, but the seed of doubt had been planted. He also thought of Xu Zifan; Xu Zifan was the one who targeted Wang Yalin the most in the Xu family. Could Xu Zifan have been behind this?
Qi Xiangheng and Xu Zifan have been brothers for over ten years. Of course, he wouldn't investigate secretly if he had this idea; he went directly to the company.
Xu Zifan was discussing with Xu Mengyao and Xiaoqing how to bring down the Feng family when he heard from the receptionist that Young Master Qi was looking for him. He dismissively refused and even had the receptionist pass on a message: "If we don't see eye to eye, there's no point in talking."
Qi Xiangheng was furious and turned to leave.
News of the falling out between Xu Shao and Qi Shao spread quickly. When the Qi family found out, they were even more disgusted with Wang Yalin. Wasn't it stupid for Qi Xiangheng to break up with the heir of the Xu family over Wang Yalin? The two families still had a business relationship! Qi Xiangheng was placed under house arrest, and Wang Yalin couldn't be contacted at all. Even if Qi Xiangheng trusted her, she didn't get any benefit from it.
In the evening, Xiao Qing was enjoying the breeze in the garden. She looked a little dazed, but her mind was racing with thoughts of what to do next.
Xu Zifan walked up to her with his hands in his pockets. "What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Qing looked up at him and sighed softly, "I was thinking... the Qi family really doesn't take Wang Yalin seriously, they don't even bother to deal with her."
Xu Zifan chuckled, "You think this tactic didn't work? This time, it shattered Wang Yalin's dream of becoming a young mistress, making her situation even more difficult. Moreover, planting the seeds of doubt will double her losses next time."
Xiao Qing paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "That's how it is for you, but for me, I'm just an ordinary person. If I can't use someone else to do my dirty work, I can only do it myself."
"Am I not the knife? You seem to distrust me a lot?" Xu Zifan sat down next to her and turned to look at her. "Are you afraid I'll still treat her like a little sister and won't be able to do it?"
Xiao Qing shook her head and looked into his eyes. "I just don't understand why you helped me."
Xu Zifan looked into her eyes and said, "It's probably because... I don't want a good brother's sister to be consumed by hatred. If something happens to me one day, I also hope that my sister can be safe and meet a benefactor."
Xiao Qing couldn't help but laugh. "Who calls themselves a noble person? Young Master, you're so narcissistic and arrogant."
Xu Zifan shrugged. "We have the resources. Stop worrying about Wang Yalin. Evil people will be dealt with by other evil people. We don't need to lift a finger."
Xiao Qing's mind raced for a moment, then she asked in confusion, "Who?"
"The Wang family."
Xiao Qing understood what Xu Zifan meant the next day. These past few days, they had been dealing with the Feng family, and the Feng family was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, constantly looking for ways to appease the Xu family.
Feng Donghui has always been full of crooked ideas. Thinking back to the day Xu Zifan asked Wang Yalin to return to the Wang family, he simply had someone set a trap, causing Wang Li, the son of the Wang family, to become addicted to gambling, lose all of the family's property, and even owe a million yuan.
Having no other choice, the Wang family used their last bit of money to buy train tickets and traveled to Yanjing to find Wang Yalin.
Feng Donghui sent people to wait near the Xu family's residence. When they saw the Wang family, they told them that Wang Yalin had changed her surname back to Wang and was living alone. Old Mrs. Wang still wanted to extort money from the Xu family, shouting that the Xu family had insisted on keeping Wang Yalin in the first place, and that kicking her out now was too heartless.
How could Feng Donghui allow them to cause trouble at the Xu family's house? He exaggerated the situation, saying that Wang Yalin had done many evil deeds and offended the Xu family to the death. After some coercion and enticement, he deliberately revealed how much property Wang Yalin now had.
Not to mention the savings, the penthouse in Dijingyuan and the three-story villa in Fenghuang'an alone are worth more than 100 million yuan!
Even Feng Donghui despised the Wang family's greedy nature. The Xu family, who were not to be trifled with, and the reclusive Wang Yalin—of course, Wang Yalin was the easy target! Moreover, in their eyes, Wang Yalin was a money-losing burden for the Wang family, and everything should be handed over to them. Having obtained the address, they rushed over without a word.
When Wang Yalin saw them downstairs at Dijingyuan, she was startled and her first reaction was to call the security guards to kick them out.
Enraged, the Wang family cursed and went to the school. They brought their household registration book and the paternity test certificate given to them by the Xu family. They successfully entered the school and met with the homeroom teacher. They cried and made a scene, cursing Wang Yalin for being unfilial, looking down on them as rural people, and accusing her of being unwilling to give them a single meal despite having so much money.
The students had never seen anything like this before. After class, they all gathered in the corridor to watch the commotion, and even with the office door closed, they could still hear the Wang family arguing.
By the end of the short break, the whole school was talking about Wang Yalin. The things Xu Mengyao had said before had spread like wildfire, and even younger students who didn't know Wang Yalin knew about them. Wang Yalin had become a celebrity at school.
This time, Wang Yalin was really angry and anxious. She was called by her teacher to confront the Wang family. All she could say was that the Wang family had already received five million from the Xu family and promised not to come looking for her anymore.
The Wang family immediately began to weep, claiming their business had failed and they had lost everything. They said they had no choice but to seek refuge with Wang Yalin, hoping she would take them in and that they would serve her like slaves. Wang Li secretly opened the office door, and in front of the students outside, Old Mrs. Wang knelt down before Wang Yalin.
The moment she knelt down, the way those unaware of the situation looked at Wang Yalin changed instantly.
The old lady was so old, she cried so hard she couldn't breathe, begging Wang Yalin to take her in and give her food. She was even willing to have her whole family work for her like slaves, but Wang Yalin refused. I heard she has an empty house and millions in savings. She's so heartless.
Wang Yalin watched helplessly as the Wang family twisted the truth and ruined her reputation. She was so angry that she trembled all over and fainted on the spot!
