Chapter 681: Really Hadn’t Shown Any Mercy
“Do you really think everyone is as shameless as your daughter? My daughter is protected by the Chen family because she saved the Eldest Heir’s life and helped the Old Madame with her health problems. How can you compare her with your shameless daughter? It’s totally ridiculous. At such a young age, she climbed into a man’s bed to get what she wanted. I feel sick thinking about it.”
It was extremely rare to hear Liang Xiuqin defending Yun Xi. However, Yun Xi understood that she wasn’t defending her daughter as much as she was comparing her with Liang Xinyi in order to humiliate Chen Lixue and emphasize her superiority.
Liang Xiuqin snorted coldly. She now understood where the money Liang Xinyi had given her had come from.
She’d gotten it by selling her body, and Liang Xiuqin felt disgusted even thinking about it. She didn’t feel any sympathy for her at all.
“Well, cousin, I didn’t know that you were selling your body in exchange for money. If this scandal gets spread around your school, I guess you won’t have to go to school when school starts next year because you’ll be laughed at.”
Yun Ziling followed Liang Xiuqin’s lead in rubbing salt in her wounds. Their gleeful expressions just made everything worse.
Liang Xinyi’s eyes, full of tears, glared at them hatefully. Then she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
“That’s enough! Why don’t you all just shut up? Yun Xi has been disturbed by you all.” Yao Ying was really annoyed and interrupted their quarreling.
Although she had already guessed what the relations.h.i.+p between Liang Xinyi and that person from the Han family was, she really hadn’t expected that this underage child would dare to be so bold. This time, not only would the Han family’s reputation be ruined, but also the Yun family would be implicated.
Fortunately, Yun Yuanfeng had already gone to work. If he had been here, there would probably be a huge ruckus right now.
“Second Aunt, what’s happening? Why is it so noisy so early in the morning?”
Hearing the second aunt mention her name, Yun Xi had come downstairs.
Yao Ying glanced at all the argumentative people as she handed the newspaper on the table to Yun Xi. Liang Xinyi saw what she was doing and rushed forward to grab it back.
No matter what, this newspaper couldn’t be seen by Yun Xi.
Her self-esteem wouldn’t be able to stand Yun Xi humiliating her to her face.
But she wasn’t fast enough. As soon as Yun Xi touched the newspaper, Liang Xinyi gave up and sat down on the sofa dejectedly.
Opening the newspaper, Yun Xi glanced at a huge headline, “Third Young Master of the Han family fools around with underage girl as they frequent private places together many times.”
There was an article and many candid shots as well as intimate photos of the two. There were even photos of them entering and leaving private villas.
Along with this revelation, Liang Xinyi’s entire background was exposed as well.
In the lower right-hand corner of the newspaper, there was also an advertis.e.m.e.nt offering legal aid and providing counseling services for underage girls as well as individual prosecution investigations.
In the newspaper, Han Zhongteng and Liang Xinyi were both photographed very clearly and were easily identifiable.
In this era, the media’s awareness of privacy rights protection wasn’t very strong. Sometimes, the people who were photographed could be shown completely, with no blacked-out areas.
Since this was in the Jingdu Morning Post, probably everyone in Jingdu knew the story by now.
No wonder Liang Xinyi was crying so pitifully. Feng Yi really hadn’t shown any mercy when he’d exposed this story.
But this was better. This was the effect that she’d wanted.
Liang Xinyi had thought that Yun Xi would ridicule her somewhat, but she didn’t expect that she wouldn’t say anything but simply put the newspaper aside.
“Cousin, this is such a huge scandal. Let’s wait for my dad to come back and see how he’ll deal with it. After all, you aren’t from our Yun family. As long as we disa.s.sociate ourselves from the matter, people from outside naturally won’t gossip about our Yun family, and it won’t damage the family’s reputation as much. The prominent clans pay a lot of attention to reputation, especially at this time, since the three prominent clans have handed over the right to host the Weiya Banquet to the Han family. However, now something like this has happened to the Han family. I’m worried that no one is going to let you off the hook. I think, for safety’s sake, you should go back to the countryside and go into hiding.”
