Xia Binger’s abnormal behavior had already aroused Mr. and Mrs. Chu’s suspicion.
Xia Binger herself was also at a loss what to do.
Now she was waiting for Mei Qi to fetch the video like a condemned man waiting to be executed.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Meanwhile, her mind moved in quantum leaps.
“Song Yunxuan, since you let your assistant fetch the video, you must have hard evidence to prove that I’m a fraud, right?”
Xia Binger glared at Song Yunxuan.
Song Yunxuan glanced at her casually and looked at Mr. and Mrs. Chu, saying, “Now the evidence hasn’t been delivered yet, what’s the point of debating?”
Song Yunxuan was very calm.
The calmer she was, the more Xia Binger felt that her palms were sweating and she would be doomed.
Xia Binger frowned and wailed, “Fine. I’m not that capable as you. I’m waiting to see how you can make Mr. and Mrs. Chu believe you by that.”
Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes.
After a short while, Mei Qi still did not return.
Xia Binger rolled her eyes, and a bold guess took root in her mind. Was it possible that Song Yunxuan had no evidence to prove that the kid she saw was not the kid in the photo, and she just made up a video to fool her?
Thinking of this, Xia Binger thought she was right.
Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Chu got impatient after waiting for a long time, asking, “Yunxuan, why does Mei Qi still not return?”
Mr. Chu’s words raised Xia Binger’s spirits. She asked Song Yunxuan, “He is not going to fake a video now, is he?”
Song Yunxuan looked askance at Xia Binger.
Xia Binger smiled and stopped being afraid at all. It seemed that she had cheered up. She said, “I just want to uphold justice for my son. Why bother framing me, Song Yunxuan?”
Hearing Xia Binger’s blame, Song Yunxuan slightly frowned.
In moments, Xia Binger began to think that Song Yunxuan was cheating her.
She turned around, facing Xia Binger, “Are you sure that I don’t have the video evidence?”
“If you do, then where’s your assistant?”
Song Yunxuan pressed her lips, not answering.
Xia Binger thought she guessed right, which exhilarated her and made her wail more bitterly, “Mr. and Mrs. Chu, the child was the Chu Family’s flesh and blood. Now he died for no reason at all, please uphold justice for him!”
Xia Binger appeared distressed.
But in Song Yunxuan’s eyes, it was just amusing.
Seeing that Song Yunxuan couldn’t show them any evidence for now just like Xia Binger said, Mr. Chu said, “Song Yunxuan…”
Song Yunxuan gently raised her hand and cut Mr. Chu off in a normal voice, “I have evidence.”
“You are lying.” Xia Binger wailed.
Song Yunxuan looked at her, saying, “But it takes some time for Mei Qi to fetch the evidence. In that case, let’s discuss the consequences.”
“Consequences?”
Xia Binger knitted her brows, asking.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu didn’t understand what Song Yunxuan meant, either.
Song Yunxuan said, “I don’t like being framed, especially being wrongly accused of killing someone. If I can’t explain it, I’ll be accused of murder, which will make others think that I was born merciless.”
Hearing that, Xia Binger sneered, “You hurt your elder brother and elder sister at such a young age. Doesn’t it show that you were born merciless?”
“How do you know that they didn’t plot to harm me first?”
Words failed Xia Binger.
Song Yunxuan didn’t want to continue talking to Xia Binger. She said, “I’ll hold you responsible for framing me. Do you want me to settle the matter in court or out of court, Miss Xia?”
Xia Binger frowned, snapping, “I’m not framing you.”
Song Yunxuan took no notice of her stubbornness or answer. Instead, she turned to look at Mr. and Mrs. Chu, saying, “May I know if you want me to settle the matter in court or just teach Miss Xia a lesson?”
Mr. and Mrs. Chu exchanged glances. Though neither of them said anything, they understood what Song Yunxuan meant.
Though Song Yunxuan came to Yuncheng from a little town and was an unpopular daughter, she got hold of the whole Song Family by her wits. It was enough to show that Song Yunxuan had always been discreet.
Song Yunxuan must have some other ideas as she had begun to discuss the consequences before Mei Qi brought her the evidence.
“Yunxuan, what do you prefer?”
Song Yunxuan cast a glance at Xia Binger. The coldness in her eyes made Xia Binger scared to some extent.
“Out of court.”
Song Yunxuan replied.
Hearing that, Mr. and Mrs. Chu just nodded without saying anything else.
Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Chu nodded, Xia Binger had a nasty feeling.
She felt that she had been sold, and her life was totally in someone else’s hand.
Xia Binger winced, saying, “I don’t need to settle anything with you. That’s not up for discussion.”
Song Yunxuan said, “I’ve never spared anyone who came to frame me. Haven’t you asked around to see how those people ended up?”
Xia Binger’s heart missed a beat.
How could she not know what happened to those who framed Song Yunxuan?
Song Yunjia died.
Song Yunqiang went to jail.
Song Yunying lived on the strength of Song Yunxuan.
Even Xue Tao who had been rumored to be at odds with Song Yunxuan and insulted her many times had ended up staying in hospital, suffering broken bones.
Song Yunxuan had never been softhearted.
But…
“I’m not framing you. It’s the truth. Don’t sling mud at me.”
Xia Binger glared at Song Yunxuan, being very tough.
Seeing that she still stuck to her story, Song Yunxuan nodded, “Since you are being this stubborn, I’ll not waste my time on you. Hope you’ll remember what you said today.”
Just at this moment, Mei Qi’s voice came from the door, “Manager Song, here’s the video.”
Hearing that, Xia Binger shivered uncontrollably.
Then she looked at Mei Qi involuntarily and felt uneasy, wondering if Song Yunxuan really had the video.
It was impossible. She had told the people in the hotel what they should do. There shouldn’t be videos.
Could it be…
“Mr. and Mrs. Chu, I can’t find the video footage from the hotel’s monitors. Therefore, I brought over the pinhole camera we prepared.”
“Pinhole camera…” Xia Binger’s lips turned pale.
Could it be that Song Yunxuan had been guarding against her plots from the beginning?
Otherwise, she couldn’t have been prepared this well.
Xia Binger’s face clouded over, and she dared not to look at Song Yunxuan in the eye.
When Mr. and Mrs. Chu fixed their eyes on Xia Binger, she appeared to be at a loss of how to react.
“Play the video.”
Mr. Chu said.
Mrs. Chu also called Xia Binger, “Miss Xia, come and watch it with us.”
“Now Miss Xia should be too sad to move. How about asking someone to play the video in the living room?”
Mr. and Mrs. Chu exchanged glances and nodded, which showed that they agreed.
Then they asked a family servant to fetch the video player, put it on the desk of the living room, and play the video.
Xia Binger didn’t want to watch the video, but she knew that she might miss some opportunities to strike back if she did not watch it carefully.
She had no option but to watch it.
Before Song Yunxuan played the video, she said to Xia Binger, “If you tell us about your plots and conspiracies before I play it, I may let you off.”
With this, she put the videotape into the video player.
Xia Binger was not in the mood to see the look on Song Yunxuan’s face.
Thus Song Yunxuan cast a glance at Mei Qi when Xia Binger was not looking.
Mei Qi made a rest-assured gesture to her secretly.
Actually, Song Yunxuan didn’t foresee everything and record their meeting with a pinhole camera.
When she asked Mei Qi to fetch the video, she was just feinting. She wanted to press Xia Binger in order to make her betray herself or confess.
But out of her expectation, Xia Binger wouldn’t refuse to give up until all hope was gone.
Now she was putting the videotape into the video player, but she didn’t know what the video was about.
Neither did she know where Mei Qi got the videotape.
Therefore, Xia Binger was not the only one who agitated.
Even Song Yunxuan felt a bit uneasy.
After Song Yunxuan put the videotape inside, scenes began to appear on the screen.
Mr. Chu, Mrs. Chu, and Xia Binger all stared at the screen.
Different from Xia Binger, Mr. and Mrs. Chu stared at the screen to find out who was telling the truth.
But Xia Binger watched the screen evasively.
She was under much pressure and felt scared.
Her lips even became somewhat dry.
She did come to cheat Mr. and Mrs. Chu.
And she was not close to Chu Mochen, so she had never had a child with Chu Mochen.
But she was in great difficulty, so she got interested when someone came to ask her to put on the show and give her such a high reward.
But now her plot would be exposed. What should she do?
Should she escape?
If not, how would Song Yunxuan, such a merciless woman, settle with her?
Xia Binger felt flustered and prepared to run away from the Chu Family.
But just as she was about to run away, the screen went black.
