After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 220 - Chapter 220 Chapter 220 Turnaround What Are You Going to Do

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Turnaround! What Are You Going to Do About My Recording? Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Turnaround! What Are You Going to Do About My Recording? Thunderous, as if lightning had struck, Mrs. Ji’s figure swayed, her face full of disbelief.

Old Sir Ji pushed through the crowd and indeed saw Ji Shiwang disheveled!

“Heavens… Shiwang? My daughter, what happened?”

Mrs. Ji never expected that her daughter would be the one at the end of this public spectacle.

She cried out and rushed in, hurriedly taking off her coat to drape over Ji Shiwang, desperately soothing her.

Mr. Ji’s old face turned a mixture of blue and red, wishing he could crawl into a hole as he urged, “Someone, quickly take the miss back home!”

“Yes, sir!” the accompanying assistant immediately complied.

Ji Shiwang was already deeply traumatized, and upon hearing these words, she became somewhat crazed, “I’ve been framed! Someone wants to harm me! It’s Ning Yichu, this bitch… she set me up…”

With those thoughts of the odd waiter earlier, and recalling how she was tricked into going to the 23rd floor, a hateful glare suddenly reflected in her eyes, directing all her accusations towards the glamorous Ning Yichu standing amidst the crowd.

“Miss Ji, you can randomly eat things, but you can’t speak recklessly–”

At that moment, another cold voice echoed overhead.

It was Mo Baiyou arriving!

As the host of the event, he was aware of the incident on the 23rd floor as soon as it happened.

Furthermore, with the Ji Family sending someone to call for him, he came over in a rush…

Initially worried that Chu Chu might be in trouble after seeing the Ji Family’s Schadenfreude, luckily, it wasn’t her.

Mo Baiyou’s gaze swept over Ning Yichu, and as the worry lifted, his heart finally settled.

“Mr. Mo, I’m not talking nonsense, it was she who sent someone to deceive me into coming here…” Ji Shiwang’s eyes were bloodshot, her hair unkempt, looking like a fierce ghoul, determined to drag Ning Yichu down with her even in death.

In the midst of speaking, she forced down her hatred.

Her eyes reddened, and tears cascaded down uncontrollably, surprisingly adding a touch of pitiful vulnerability.

“Although I returned from studying abroad, my values are highly traditional, and besides, I have someone I like, so how could I do such a shameless act? Moreover, with my figure and status, what kind of man can’t I have? Why would I be interested in those despicable security guards? It’s clear someone’s out to get me! I am the victim here…”

Mr. Ji looked at his daughter, whom he treasured like a jewel in his palm, feeling both heartache and fury.

“Shiwang, what exactly happened? Speak boldly; if someone dares to frame you, dad will definitely seek justice for you!”

Towards the end of his statement, he glanced at Ning Yichu, deliberately or otherwise.

Ning Yichu let out a cold laugh, her face not showing the slightest hint of fear, but rather looking forward to her next move.

After all, no matter how she struggled, it would only lead to… her own destruction!

Seeing her calm demeanor, Mo Baiyou also felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

Shen Jiangqing had been observing from the side, and now seeing a chance for a turnaround, he couldn’t help but become more hopeful.

“Miss Ji, what exactly happened? Speak up quickly, rest assured, we will not wrong a good person, nor will we let a bad person off the hook!”

Su Huimiao, hearing Shen Jiangqing get involved as well, was slightly displeased that she was stirring trouble despite being pregnant.

After all, Shen Jiangqing had a heart condition…

If it weren’t for Aling taking good care of her these past few years, she probably would have gone to see King Yan by now.

Ji Shiwang’s choked voice began to rise–

“At the time, I was attending a banquet downstairs when someone dirtied my dress and said there were spare clothes on the 23rd floor for me. As soon as I entered the room, there were a few men waiting for me–it was clearly a trap set up intentionally by someone!”

“And of the whole banquet, Ning Yichu was the most suspicious!”

“Dad, go catch that waitress. She must be in cahoots with Ning Yichu!”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ji’s rage erupted instantaneously, and he turned his head to confront her angrily, “Ning Yichu, what a malicious heart you have! If you have any grievances against my daughter, you can express them directly. Why resort to such despicable means to ruin a person’s reputation?!!”

Following behind, Shen Jiangqing echoed, “Lady Ning, aren’t you going a little too far?”

“She’s always been scheming and adept in her maneuvers, hasn’t she?” Su Huimiao thought of the times she had been set up by Ning Yichu in the past and couldn’t help but make an insinuating remark.

Some distinguished ladies also started mocking, “Tsk, after all that, it still comes back to Ning Yichu…”

That’s how rumors spiral. Once someone starts them, it’s like ripping open a tear, and the rest will mindlessly follow.

Only a few kept their wits about them.

In a matter of moments, Ning Yichu was once again thrust into the eye of the storm.

Inside, Ji Shiwang’s resentful heart finally felt somewhat relieved. Even if she ended in disgrace, she would make sure Ning Yichu didn’t get off easy!

“Mr. Mo, I am your guest. Your celebrated designer treats me thusly. Shouldn’t you provide an explanation? Or are you saying that our collaboration with Beiji is supposed to end with this kind of outcome?”

Ji Shiwang threw down the gauntlet like this, trying to force Mo Baiyou into a difficult position against Ning Yichu.

But Mo Baiyou wouldn’t fall for Ji Shiwang’s instigation.

The Chu Chu he knew was never one to stir up trouble!

A flicker of anger stirred in the man’s eyes. Just as he was about to speak up, he was intercepted by Ning Yichu.

She treaded in her high heels, through the surging crowd, and sluggishly approached her, her eyes lazy with disdain, “Miss Ji, you’re saying… it was I who set you up, right?”

It was just a casual counter-question, yet it was inexplicably oppressive.

Ji Shiwang felt an ominous premonition rising inside her.

“Ning Yichu, at this point, do you still plan to threaten my daughter?” Mr. Ji sensed something amiss as well and stood in front of Ning Yichu, harshly rebuking.

“Mr. Ji, then please take a good listen to who exactly is threatening whom.”

Ning Yichu didn’t bother to exchange further words. She simply pulled out her phone and played a recording for everyone to hear.

It was undoubtedly the conversation between Shen Jiangqing and Ji Shiwang plotting against her in the restroom.

Ji Shiwang’s statement, “This idea is really great. Making everyone see Ning Yichu in an indecent scene with another man will not only destroy her reputation, but it will also make Mo Baiyou grow tired of her. Really, killing two birds with one stone. I’ll arrange for it right away,” echoed thunderously throughout the venue.

The entire place was struck by shock…

So, after all that, it turned out Ji Shiwang was the one trying to frame Ning Yichu, only to fall into her own trap!

Ji Shiwang felt her blood run cold, her body stiffening on the spot, her mind a complete blank.

How could this have happened…

Mr. Ji had been ready to defend her, only to face such a truth.

Feeling the peculiar glares from around them, he slapped her face in anger, “You disgraceful thing, now go back to where you came from!”

His face, his pride, had been thoroughly lost there today…

Ji Shiwang sobbed, clutching her face, helped away by her assistant.

“Think you can just leave like that? No way!” Ning Yichu advanced lazily, blocked their path, and coldly demanded, “Apologize!”

Ji Shiwang sobbed and hiccupped.

A sharp look flashed in Mr. Ji’s eyes, “Lady Ning, my daughter has already been punished. Let bygones be bygones!”

Ning Yichu retorted sarcastically, “If I were in her position here today, do you dare say your precious daughter would let me off easily?”
