Chapter 318: There’s Nothing Between Mu Donglin and Me
The living room of the Mu Family Mansion was very big.
Even though there were almost a hundred people present, it was still very s.p.a.cious.
The way Lin Kerou choked with sobs caught everyone’s attention.
Li Xueqing did not expect Lin Kerou to speak up now and was a little surprised.
Li Meng was shocked and pulled Lin Kerou back. “Are you crazy? Young Master Mu and you are the accused now. Who will believe you?”
She did not speak softly.
Everyone looked at each other.
It was true.
No one believed her.
Especially since Lin Kerou was involved in a previous scandal.
How could anyone believe her after that?
Unexpectedly, Lin Kerou indignantly cried out in a shrill voice. “I know that you won’t believe anything I say now, but I can’t put Brother Donglin in such a difficult position. He treats Nian Nian very well and is loyal to her. He has never done anything to let her down, so he shouldn’t receive this sort of treatment. If this engagement is broken, Brother Donglin will definitely be very upset.”
“Won’t that be granting your wish?” Someone remarked. “You’ve had a crush on Young Master Mu for years and your chance is finally here. Stop being pretentious!”
“If the engagement is broken, you will be the one benefiting the most. Why are you still crying? Tsk!”
“Young Master Mu and you are like birds always flying and nestling together. In reality, you are hoping that their engagement is broken, right?”
…
Hearing these accusations, Lin Kerou quickly shook her head and rubbed her eyes. “I have liked Brother Donglin since young, but I know that we are impossible, so I have always kept a distance from him. I treat him as a brother and he treats me as a sister. I know that he likes Nian Nian, so I wouldn’t dare to disturb their relations.h.i.+p. I’ve always kept my distance.”
As she spoke, her voice quivered as she sobbed.
She looked like she was being bullied by everyone and was suffering from all the injustices in the world.
“At this time, I know it’s not the best that I speak up, but I can’t stand it anymore.” Lin Kerou looked at Li Beinian. “Nian Nian, Brother Donglin really loves you. You have to believe him. He has never done anything to let you down.”
Li Beinian looked at the way she wept and rolled her eyes.
She was always good at acting pitiful to gain the crowd’s sympathy and trust.
By looking weak and vulnerable, people were willing to believe her.
However, in this situation, Li Beinian could not really figure out what she wanted to do.
“Grandpa Li.” Lin Kerou looked at Old Master Li. “Although the Lin Family does not have a long history like the Mu Family, it’s also a family of prestigious scholars. Our education is very strict and pre-marital s.e.x is absolutely forbidden.”
After she spoke, there was an uproar.
It seemed that almost everyone realized what Lin Kerou was trying to do.
“Is she crazy? Something like that…”
“However, this is a way out. It’s better than being accused of being the other woman!”
“Wow, this is explosive. This woman is too daring!”
“Since she dared to say something like that, it’s probably true. Could it be that there’s really nothing between Young Master Mu and her?”
…
Li Beinian couldn’t help but draw a cold breath in shock.
She said something like that in front of so many people.
Was it worth it to do that for Mu Donglin?
“Grandpa Li, I know that you’re a n.o.ble man worthy of respect and you have many connections. Please invite a doctor over to prove my innocence,” Lin Kerou said confidently and eloquently. “My background and my self-esteem do not allow me to be the other woman. Mu Donglin and I are innocent!”
