Chapter 1176: Pretending To Be Family!
Song Qi detected Song Zhi looking at her and did not even dare to raise her head. She did not know how to explain the existence of the audio clip.
Even she had nearly forgotten about the audio clip. She never ever sent it to anyone. Why did everyone suddenly receive it on their phones?
Song Qi was at a loss. Song Zhi looked at her exasperatedly and felt as though his mind was about to blow apart. Song Qi had ruined dinner last night. Now, she was ruining the banquet.
There was a lot of information exposed in the audio clip. Despite having no mention of their direct involvement in driving Song Ning out of the family, it was as good as a blatant admission, maybe worse. Anyone with brains enough could guess that they were the ones behind it.
Song Qi had taped their conversation and someone had exposed it. Song Zhi was so upset that he nearly pa.s.sed out. He looked at Huo Yao sternly and said firmly, “You did it.”
Huo Yao pursed her lips and looked nonchalant. “If you say so!”
How could she say that? Song Zhi wanted to gnash his teeth right after hearing her tone. Since all eyes were on them, he suppressed his fury and said, “Come with me.”
He pointed at the entrance.
Huo Yao looked cold and relaxed with her hands in her coat pockets.
Song Zhi took two steps. When he noticed Huo Yao was not following behind him, he turned and wanted to move closer to her to speak. Chen Ming stepped forward and cut him off. The terrifying aura radiating from him clearly came innately.
When Song Zhi got beaten up earlier, he remembered how ruthless the culprit was.
Song Zhi looked at Huo Yao and said, “Can you stop it? I invited a lot of guests so that you can have more friends in town. Isn’t it enough? Do you have to embarra.s.s everyone like this?”
Huo Yao laughed. “Since you have severed ties with my mother, you should never have called us.”
She was implying that he was asking for it.
Song Zhi clenched his fists and instantly knew what she was trying to say.
The guests continued looking at them strangely. He finally realized why Huo Yao would ask them to organize a banquet.
She probably expected them not to apologize.
He kept thinking about how to entice her to return to the Song family by accepting her as a member of the clan. From the looks of it, his niece did not care what he had to offer.
“I don’t understand. What’s in it for you?” said Song Zhi deeply. “Your mother did not dare to utter a word. What makes you think you know better?”
Huo Yao nodded. She said patiently, “Do you remember the inheritance now, Mr. Song?”
“This is just a fake audio clip. Even if you have sent it to everyone, it proves nothing.” Song Zhi naturally refused to admit that the audio clip was authentic.
Song Qi had composed herself and walked over quickly. She continued pretending to be nice as she chimed in.
“We treated you like family and organized this banquet to introduce you to everyone in high society so that you can have some friends in town. Even though we were so thoughtful, you pulled this stunt on us.”
A look of disappointment appeared on Song Qi’s exquisitely done-up face. “I don’t understand. Have we done anything to displease you? How could you fabricate this and slander us?”
The moment Song Qi finished her sentence, she quickly made it a question of morality
