Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Indistinguishable True from False
As soon as the voice fell, two figures walked in side by side.
Han Yaru!
The other was Han Yaru’s recently acquired boyfriend, named Du Hao.
Seeing these two enter, Madam Han’s face became grave, "Yaru, the invitation is a serious matter, you must not talk nonsense!"
Han Jingting’s voice was equally cold, "Han Yaru, this invitation is something I worked hard to obtain, you didn’t even glance at it, on what basis do you say this invitation is fake!"
Without waiting for Han Yaru to speak, Du Hao beside her snorted coldly and disdainfully said, "Do we even need to look? Don’t you know that this time the Warrior King’s ceremony seat levels only come in three grades: three, two, and one, and the highest level invitation is just a first-level invitation!"
"What..." Han Jingting was stunned.
Han Yaru laughed heartily, "Han Jingting, if you were going to forge something, at least use your brain. You actually brought a non-existent VIP seat invitation to deceive Grandma, this is just hilarious! Hahaha..."
Madam Han’s complexion instantly darkened, "Han Jingting, is what they’re saying true? Is this invitation you have a forgery?"
Han Jingting’s expression was resolute, "Grandma, don’t believe their words, this invitation is absolutely real!"
Han Yaru snorted, "Is that so, then I’m curious to ask, where did you obtain this invitation?"
"I... I had Chen Xuan figure out a way to get it," Han Jingting said, lacking confidence.
As these words came out, Han Yaru suddenly burst out into laughter, "Han Jingting, do you think we’re foolish? We might believe someone else, but relying on your good-for-nothing husband, what ability does he have to secure a genuine invitation! A first-class seat? Do you even believe that yourself?"
It wasn’t just Han Yaru who was skeptical; all the Han Family members became incredulous upon hearing that Chen Xuan had obtained this invitation.
Madam Han’s face also turned utterly displeased, "Han Jingting, is this invitation really secured by that good-for-nothing Chen Xuan?"
Han Jingting hesitantly nodded, "Yes, it’s from Chen Xuan. But I can guarantee, this invitation is absolutely real!"
"Guarantee? With that good-for-nothing’s ability, what do you have to back up his guarantee!"
The dragon-head cane struck the ground emphatically.
"Because..." Han Jingting stopped mid-sentence.
She wanted to reveal that the invitation came directly from the Zheng Family of Huai City.
But once these words were out, she would inevitably be questioned about the relationship between Chen Xuan and Zheng Qingxue.
With a personality as strong-willed as Han Jingting’s, how could she let outsiders know about her husband’s betrayal!
After hesitating for a long time, Han Jingting ultimately couldn’t bring herself to say it.
At this moment, Du Hao stepped forward, "You don’t need to guarantee anything. Today, I will show you what a real invitation to the Warrior King’s ceremony looks like!"
Speaking, Du Hao took out a brocade box from his body, opened the brocade box, and a silver-embossed invitation was directly presented in front of everyone.
Upon opening the invitation, it clearly read ’Warrior King’s ceremony, first-class seat’!
"See, this is the real invitation!" Du Hao said with pride on his face.
Everyone crowded forward and examined it carefully.
To be honest, in terms of craftsmanship alone, the invitation in Han Jingting’s hand was in no way inferior to Du Hao’s, but because Jingting’s invitation came from Chen Xuan, its credibility was greatly reduced.
Han Jingting, unwilling to accept defeat, said, "You say my invitation is fake, how can you prove that yours is real?"
Han Yaru snorted coldly, "Proof? Is proof still needed? You probably don’t know who Young Master Du is, do you? Let me tell you, Young Master Du is from the Du Family of Nanhu!"
"The Du Family of Nanhu?" Everyone was astonished.
The power of the Du Family in Nanhu was immense; they had an exceedingly good reputation throughout Beijiang, so how could they not have heard of them?
Since this Young Master Du was indeed from the Nanhu Du Family, the invitation in his hand naturally couldn’t be a fake.
With this, Han Jingting’s lies had collapsed on themselves!
"So he is the young master of the Nanhu Du Family!"
"I was wondering why Young Master Du’s invitation looked more exquisite."
"Isn’t it obvious, a real one is definitely more finely crafted than a fake one!"
In no time, everyone sided with Du Hao and Han Yaru, one after another accusing Han Jingting of forgery.
Seeing that the moment was ripe, Du Hao continued, "The Warrior King Ceremony is a once-in-a-century grand event in the Two Rivers region. As far as I know, there are quite a few lawbreakers in the underground of the Two Rivers targeting this opportunity to strike it rich, producing quite a number of counterfeit invitations overnight. Madam Han, your insight is profound; you must keep your eyes peeled!"
With such a clear implication, how could Madam Han not understand? She flew into a rage.
"Han Jingting, you have some nerve, daring to deceive me with a counterfeit invitation!"
"Grandma, I didn’t, this invitation is indeed genuine!"
"You still dare to talk back at this point? Can’t I tell the difference between a real and a fake anymore? Do you think I have gone senile?"
Snap! Snap! Snap!
In her fury, Madam Han ripped the special seat invitation into shreds.
Countless paper fragments fluttered down onto Han Jingting’s face.
Seizing the opportunity, Han Chengye added insult to injury, "Grandma, Han Jingting brought you a fake invitation, and if you really believed her, our entire Han Family would end up being disgraced!"
Han Yaru chimed in, "That’s right! Han Jingting clearly had ill intentions. Grandma, you definitely cannot let her off lightly!"
Madam Han also wanted to punish Han Jingting; however, Vice President Xue from Yaowang Corporation had just recently praised Han Jingting during his visit. If she were to punish Han Jingting now, wouldn’t it be too disrespectful to Yaowang Corporation?
After much consideration, Madam Han decided to hold back this time.
"Take your trash papers and get out, and reflect on your actions!"
Han Jingting, aggrieved to tears, picked up the pieces from the ground and walked out of the old mansion.
Watching Han Jingting’s wretched state, Han Chengye and Han Yaru exchanged looks; they felt extraordinarily smug.
Madam Han’s anger had not subsided, "Han Jingting really knows how to cause trouble rather than solve it! With merely three short days until the Warrior King Ceremony, finding another invitation at this time is probably harder than reaching the heavens!"
Yet Han Yaru smiled triumphantly, "Grandma, what’s so difficult about that? I came today to solve the invitation problem for you. Have you forgotten? Du Hao is from the Nanhu Du Family, getting an invitation is a breeze for him!"
"Really?" Madam Han’s eyes shone.
Du Hao put on airs, "Indeed, acquiring an invitation is very simple for us from the Nanhu Du Family. It’s just that..."
"Just that what?"
"As you have just mentioned, there are only three days left until the Warrior King Ceremony. Every seat at the event is reserved, like a turnip has its hole. It’s not that getting another invitation now is impossible, it’s just a bit difficult, and it will cost money!"
