Chapter 131: Zhang Li’s Confession
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
That night was destined to be a sleepless night for many people. Zhang Li was hospitalized again not long after she was discharged because she saw the trending searches on Weibo.
In fact, she already knew that Jing Yuan had posted on Weibo before the trending searches were released.
There was only one special follower on her Weibo, and that was Jing Yuan. She received a notification as soon as Jing Yuan’s Weibo post was posted.
She fainted from anger when she saw Jing Yuan’s post.
She did not go home the last time she was discharged from the hospital. Instead, she stayed in Cheng Wan’s vacant house. She had not been in a good state recently, so Cheng Wan was worried and stayed with her.
Seeing that she had fainted, Cheng Wan hurriedly called an ambulance and pinched her philtrum.
After Zhang Li woke up, she told Cheng Wan what happened on Weibo. That was why Cheng Wan called Ji Wei and scolded Wen Chen.
Zhang Li leaned against the hospital bed and flipped through the post from Yulin High School over and over again. There were photos of Jing Yao doing various part-time jobs. On a hot day, she was wearing a puppet suit and handing out flyers. After taking off the puppet suit, Jing Yao’s face was red from the heat. Her lips were so pale that there was no color at all. Her eyes were empty, as if she was about to faint.
There were also pictures of her as a waiter. She wore ill-fitting work clothes and carried plates between the tables. The big clothes made her look extremely thin.
Zhang Li’s vision was blurry. Her heart hurt as if it was being p.r.i.c.ked by needles. It was so painful that she could not breathe. She could only grab her clothes and loosen her collar. Otherwise, she would really feel suffocated.
Cheng Wan was also watching. She did not feel any better than Zhang Li. She only knew that Zhang Li and Jing Mo were biased, but she did not expect them to be heartless.
The Jing Family was not extremely rich, but they definitely did not have to worry about food and clothing. Jing Yuan lived like a princess and Zhang Li often took her to all kinds of banquets, but Jing Yao had to work hard to earn money. She was in her teens and had yet to reach adulthood. How could they bear to do that?
Zhang Li cried as she read. When she saw a photo, she even raised her hand and slapped herself twice.
Cheng Wan was shocked and quickly reached out to stop her. “What are you doing?”
Zhang Li grabbed Cheng Wan with both hands as if she was holding onto a life-saving straw to clutch at. She sobbed uncontrollably. “Wanwan, I was wrong. I was wrong. I was really wrong. I’m not human. 1 don’t even know what kind of life my daughter is living outside. There was a period of time when she was in high school and she always smelled of food. She came back late. 1 thought she went out to fool around at the night market. 1 even punished her by making her kneel in the courtyard and didn’t let her eat in the morning. I just wanted her to remember. 1 didn’t know… So that’s the truth.”
Cheng Wan frowned. “Zhang Li, I really don’t understand what you’re thinking about Yaoyao. You’re not that kind of person usually, but you’re even harsher to Yaoyao than a stranger. Is it difficult to even satisfy her basic needs?”
Zhang Li let go of Cheng Wan and covered her face with her hands. “Jing Mo said that he got someone to take a look at our fortune. Yaoyao made a huge mistake in her previous life. She was born to suffer and pay her debts in this life. If she lives well, our family will be unlucky, especially her sister, Jing Yuan, who is from the same mother as her. I definitely wouldn’t believe such a thing in the past, but it concerns Yuanyuan. I’m afraid, so…”
Zhang Li could not continue. She was not an evil person. Even if she did not like this daughter, she would not stop her from eating and wearing warm clothes.
However, Jing Mo’s words made her go crazy. She even sent Jing Yao, who was still underage, to a ruthless place like the entertainment industry.
Cheng Wan sighed. She could not even comfort Zhang Li. She walked to the sofa at the side and sat down, continuing to watch the subsequent developments.
The situation was very unfavorable for Jing Yao. Netizens who did not know the truth thought that they were speaking up for Jing Yuan righteously and condemned Jing Yao from the moral high ground.
Cheng Wan felt very uneasy. She did not know much about these things, but she quickly scrolled to a Weibo post.
The Wen Corporation’s official Weibo post said that Wen Chen had never had a girlfriend before and he had only grown up with the Jing Family sisters. They did not have any other feelings.
This Weibo post was quickly trending. Netizens who liked to join in the fun immediately occupied the comments section.
[Illusion: Whoa, is this a reversal?]
[Salted Fish: Are they really ordinary friends? Why is an ordinary friend fighting with Liang Xun? This doesn’t make sense, right?]
[Entertainment above all: I just scrolled through a Weibo post. It was posted by a netizen who claimed to be Jing Yao’s alumnus. It’s especially detailed. There are photos and videos. The timeline is especially clear and the logic is online. If this is true, I’ll really scold Little Princess Yuanyuan to death..]
