After having her breakfast, Jiang Yuning picked up her car keys and decided to go out. However, at this point, Sister Liang suddenly handed a new set of car keys over to Jiang Yuning. “Miss, you should drive the new car that sir has prepared for you. Sir has already instructed the driver to take the previous car to change its number plate.”
The media will be eyeing you very soon if you keep driving the same car around.
Jiang Yuning took the car keys from Sister Liang and then headed straight to the garage. Jiang Yuning thought that Lu Jingzhi was an extremely meticulous person. He knew exactly what to do to prevent Jiang Yuning from being stalked and photographed by the paparazzi. Well, this man was really very cautious and intelligent.
The new car that he had prepared for her was a white coupe that was extremely popular amongst white-collared workers. It was very low-key and was an excellent choice.
Jiang Yuning opened the car door and got into her little white coupe. As she was on route to Fu Yahui’s mountain villa, she made a phone call to the young paparazzo. She needed some materials and evidence to back herself up before heading into the lion’s den.
“My brother previously had some news and material on Huo Yuxi that he had not released yet. Can you send them to me first?”
“Sister Yuning, you do not have to worry. You can be rest assured that X Society is at the top of the paparazzi circle. It will not take us too long to find out anything in this circle. I will inform you immediately as soon as I discover the culprit who had released the news to the public. I have also called Brother Ku Jie and he has already sent me those materials that he has on Huo Yuxi but have not exposed to the public yet.”
“Send it to me immediately,” Jiang Yuning urged.
The young paparazzo quickly forwarded all the videos and photographs that he had of Huo Yuxi to Jiang Yuning’s cell phone without any delay.
He would not allow anyone the opportunity to bully his Sister Yuning.
Jiang Yuning was relieved as soon as she saw the materials that the young paparazzo sent her. She would not be carrying a gun without any bullets now.
When Jiang Yuning arrived at the mountain villa, she quickly put away her Bluetooth earphones and went to knock on the door. Fu Yahui answered the door but the expression on her face was not friendly at all. She did not even greet Jiang Yuning but headed straight to the sofa as soon as she opened the door.
Jiang Yuning could hear the sound of a conversation happening on the second floor of the mountain villa from time to time and according to her own conjecture, she assumed that there was a doctor upstairs attending to Huo Yuxi.
The doctor and the nurse came down with Huo Yuxi’s agent about two minutes later. The doctor explained that Huo Yuxi had suffered a scare, which was why she was feeling so unwell.
“A pregnant woman in her early trimesters can easily miscarry if she suffers from scares like this. She should stay at home in the next few days to rest her body. Remember not to aggravate her anymore because it would be extremely dangerous for her and the body.” After giving his diagnosis and advice, the doctor then left the mountain villa with the nurse.
After sending the doctor and nurse out, Huo Yuxi’s agent returned and glared angrily at Jiang Yuning. “If anything were to happen to Yuxi, you can just dream about ever entering Millennium Entertainment.”
Jiang Yuning rolled her eyes because she knew that the agent was already starting to push the blame towards her.
“Yuning…were you the one who released the news regarding your elder sister’s pregnancy?” Fu Yahui, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa, suddenly asked with a cold expression on her face. “When we were at the Lu family mansion, you promised me that you would not interfere in your elder sister and Lu Zongye’s marriage. You have already made me a promise, so why are you going back on your word now?”
“Mom, do you really think that I would resort to something as despicable as this? Why don’t you have any faith in me at all?” Jiang Yuning asked as she sat down on the sofa and started tearing.
“Who else would it be if not for you?”
Jiang Yuning stared at Fu Yahui with a shocked expression on her face. “Mom, are you my biological mother or are you Huo Yuxi’s? How can there be such a mother in the world who would rather believe the words of an outsider compared to her own biological daughter?”
Fu Yahui was stunned and remained silent for a moment. “I am only trying to hold the family together. Your elder sister is pregnant right now, so how can you do this to her?”
“How did you come to the conclusion that I was the one who had released the news? What evidence do you have to support your claim?”
“I…” Fu Yahui was at a loss for words. At that very moment, Huo Yuxi walked into the living room with the help of her agent. As soon as she entered the living room, she rushed over to Fu Yahui with tears in her eyes.
“Mommy, you really have to stand on my side this time. I really had not expected Yuning to be so wicked. I did not expect that she would try to harm me and my baby. This time, she has not only ruined my career, but also risked my pregnancy—I could have lost my baby! Yuning wants me and my baby dead!”
Huo Yuxi continued crying as she held tightly onto Fu Yahui.
“You can continue acting,” Jiang Yuning said with a straight face.
“Yuning, I am already in this state and yet, you still refuse to admit that you were the one who released the news to the media? Do you really want me to lose my baby?” Huo Yuxi said as she kept crying and pointing at Jiang Yuning. “I know that you hate me because you think that I stole your fiancé and your own mother away from you, but it has never been my intention to do so. Everything was unintentional. I have already apologized to you and been so gracious to you, so why can’t you just leave me and my baby alone?”
“Such a wicked woman!” Huo Yuxi’s agent said as he continued glaring at Jiang Yuning with disdain in his eyes.
“Yes, you are right. I am extremely vicious,” Jiang Yuning hastily replied. “I really hate it when you and your baby are in good health. I am always wishing that something bad would happen to you. So, why don’t we head over to the hospital right now to get rid of your baby then?”
“You…” Huo Yuxi was so enraged that her hands started shaking uncontrollably. “Mommy, look at what she is doing!”
“Huo Yuxi, I am really curious. Where did you get the idea that I am always trying to get in between you and that scumbag Lu Zongye?” Jiang Yuning asked Huo Yuxi in a serious tone.
“That’s because you are always trying to ruin my life and you are still trying to deny it even at this moment.”
“Are you sure about that?” Jiang Yuning asked as she pulled out her cell phone and then scrolled to the photographs that the young paparazzo had sent her this morning. She then handed the cell phone over to Huo Yuxi. “If I really wanted to release any news and ruined your reputation any further, I would have released the news of you and this man that you have been seeing on this cruise ship. If I am not wrong, I believe that you were also hooking up with Lu Zongye while you were seeing this man.”
“Do you think that the netizens would be more interested in news regarding your pregnancy or news about you dating two men at the same time?”
“How…how did you get these photographs?” Huo Yuxi’s face turned pale and she started to panic as soon as she saw those pictures.
Huo Yuxi’s agent was equally surprised, as he never expected Jiang Yuning to have had such a strong hold over Huo Yuxi.
“Huo Yuxi, please use your brain in the future. If I really wanted to release news about you, I would have released this information, instead of information on your pregnancy. If I released news that you were dating two men at the same time, I could not only ruin your career and reputation, but I believe that the marriage between you and Lu Zongye would definitely be called off. So, tell me, do you think I am retarded? If I had the intention to harm you, why wouldn’t I release the news that would cause you greater harm?” Jiang Yuning sneered.
“I…” Huo Yuxi did not know what else she could say.
Huo Yuxi’s agent could not comprehend the situation either. If Jiang Yuning had better material in her hands, she would not have released news about Huo Yuxi’s pregnancy. Instead, she would have released the news about her dating two men, as that information was far more exciting and would have garnered more attention from the public.
Huo Yuxi felt a guilty conscience and she knew that whatever she said now would not be sufficient to dismiss Jiang Yuning’s claims. Therefore, she tried to gain pity from Fu Yahui. “Mommy, I am feeling very uncomfortable now. I am not worthy of being your daughter.”
“Mom, do you still believe her now?” Jiang Yuning asked Fu Yahui. “I am your biological daughter and Huo Yuxi will always be your stepdaughter. She is only doing this to try and sow discord and ruin the relationship between the two of us. She just wants you to detest me. You should think clearly before you choose to believe anything that she says.”
Fu Yahui did not reply but there was doubt in her eyes. She stared at Huo Yuxi, as though questioning her and waiting for her rebuttal to Jiang Yuning’s claims.
“Mommy, I did not do it. I am not trying to sow discord between the both of you. This is all merely Jiang Yuning’s own speculations.”
Oh, so it seemed like she was still denying the truth.
