Chapter 461 Why do good people deserve to be bullied?
After Lu Mingyue finished speaking, before Qiu Jinglan could think about it, Aunt Qiu frowned and spoke in a disdainful tone.
"Second brother-in-law, look at this daughter of yours. She stole something and didn't repent. She even dared to threaten Ruoxin. Doesn't she even have any sense of shame?"
"I'll put my words here today. If Lu Mingyue doesn't admit her mistake to the second sister today, then she really has no choice but to call the police!"
Jiang Xingfeng frowned and was about to speak.
Mrs. Jiang, however, stretched out her hand to stop him. With the help of the housekeeper, she took a few steps forward and stared at Aunt Qiu coldly, "I don't have to worry about other people's housework in the Jiang family."
Although Aunt Qiu has a powerful background abroad, she still needs to treat the old lady of the Jiang family with some respect.
She suppressed the contempt in her heart and sneered: "Old madam, my second sister has been wronged for so many years when she married into your family. Now millions of earrings have been stolen, and she still has to endure it? It's not just your Jiang family. It’s a family matter.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Jinglan's eyes reddened in time, looking like a daughter-in-law who had been bullied by an evil mother-in-law for many years.
Third Aunt Qiu's tone became even colder, "You bully my second sister and there is no one to protect her. Then I, Qiu Jingmei, will let you see if she is someone you can bully at will."
When Qiu Jinglan heard this, her back immediately straightened up.
Since being imprisoned, Qiu Jinglan has basically become a joke in the circle, and she usually doesn't dare to show her face outside.
Now, her family has given her confidence again.
No matter what, she must earn this face back!
Yan Chengzhi frowned slightly, walked to Lu Mingyue and asked in a low voice: "Mingyue, what's going on with these earrings?"
Lu Mingyue shook his head and whispered: "Don't worry."
Then, she turned to look at Jiang Xingfeng.
"Dad, you have also seen that I originally wanted to let Jiang Ruoxin go, but it was Qiu Jinglan who insisted on letting me go."
Jiang Xingfeng sighed and turned to ask Jiang Ruoxin.
"Ruoxin, do you have anything to say?"
Third Aunt Qiu was even more dissatisfied, "Second brother-in-law, what's your attitude? The person who stole the things was Lu Mingyue, but you are questioning Ruoxin?"
"Now only Lu Mingyue is a daughter, isn't my Ruoxin a daughter?"
Aunt Qiu also joined the fight.
"Second brother-in-law, you and my second sister have not divorced yet, so you can't wait to take your illegitimate daughter home. My second sister has endured it again and again.
Now you still treat my second sister and Ruoxin with this attitude. Is this the way your Jiang family behaves? "
Jiang Xingfeng didn't bother to pay attention to the screaming sisters, and just looked at Jiang Ruoxin steadily.
Jiang Ruoxin was originally a little afraid of Lu Mingyue.
But now that her third and fifth aunts are her supporters, she has nothing to fear.
What's more, looking at her father's current attitude, does she need to admit in public that she was the one who stole the thing?
How can this be?
After making up her mind, she immediately turned red and said, "Dad, I have offended Lu Mingyue before, but I did it openly and was punished."
"Now that Lu Mingyue has stolen my mother's things, what else do you want me to say? Do you want me to pretend that nothing happened and let this thief sister enter the house?"
The guests had eaten for a long time, and by this time they were basically convinced that Lu Mingyue had indeed stolen something.
Everyone was talking in low voices, with a bit of contempt and a sense of superiority——
"Actually, it's understandable. Lu Mingyue grew up in such a smoky environment. How clean can her hands and feet be? If she doesn't steal or rob, she probably won't survive."
"So even if I become the boss now, I still can't change my sneaky ways."
"Just like that, the prince still treats her like a baby. This is something we can't envy."
"Prince, this taste is quite unique."
"Perhaps she is an orthodox socialite who is used to following the rules, but this kind of petty theft makes her look new and different?"
The people around me laughed secretly while talking, and suddenly I felt that I was really elegant and noble.
Even if someone like Lu Mingyue, who grew up in the mud, is recognized by Jiang Xingfeng, even if she marries Yan Chengzhi and becomes a princess, she is not qualified to be compared with them.
From now on, there would be no place for Lu Mingyue to gain a foothold in their circle.
"Are you finished?"
The discussions were neither loud nor quiet, and Lu Mingyue could hear them.
She looked at Qiu Jinglan calmly, "Originally, for the sake of my father and grandma, I no longer planned to pursue this matter."
"However, since you want to make things bigger, then call the police."
It has come to this point, and Lu Mingyue is still so unhurried, Qiu Jinglan starts to hesitate again.
Does Lu Mingyue have another plan?
After all, Lu Mingyue did not steal the earrings. Don’t let Ruoxin be implicated in the end...
Thinking of this, Qiu Jinglan finally came to her senses.
Yes, the police are very particular about evidence when arresting people!
Maybe Lu Mingyue has evidence that Ruoxin stole it.
Qiu Jinglan broke into a cold sweat and quickly held down Qiu Sanyi who had already taken out her mobile phone.
"Third sister, forget it!"
Qiu Jinglan looked at Lu Mingyue and pretended to be generous and said: "It's just a pair of earrings. Anyway, you took the initiative to return them, so I won't argue with you."
As she spoke, she looked at the onlookers and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for making everyone laugh. There are younger people in the family who are not sensible. It's better to go back and educate them behind closed doors, so as not to stain everyone's eyes."
All the guests gave thumbs up.
"Mrs. Jiang still knows the general situation. Mr. Jiang is hosting this banquet today and it's unethical to recognize a wild daughter in front of the main wife."
"You all don't understand that no matter how nice your home is, it doesn't smell like wild flowers."
"Now it seems that this mistress's early death can be regarded as retribution..."
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more outrageous, Lu Mingyue felt a little angry.
She sneered and said:
"How did Qiu Jinglan marry my father back then? You don't know, you can ask the elders at home. You don't know anything, so you just point here and think you are right? Are you just a mouth and no brain?"
Lu Mingyue's voice was clear, every word was spoken clearly, and the whole place fell silent.
Everyone felt incredible.
Lu Mingyue must be crazy. One sentence offended everyone in the room!
However, Lu Mingyue didn't bother to see their reactions at all, and kept saying——
"Back then, the Qiu family took advantage of the decline of the Jiang family to interfere with Qingcheng's projects and add insult to injury just to force my father to marry her."
Most of the guests present were from the younger generation and had basically never heard of these things, so they were in an uproar!
Then, Lu Mingyue pointed to the earrings in Qiu Jinglan's hand, and her words echoed clearly throughout the banquet hall——
"Qiu Jinglan asked my father to marry her, otherwise he would join forces with other aristocratic families to drive the Jiang family to a dead end and bankrupt the Jiang family. My father reluctantly agreed to the marriage, and Qiu Jinglan also forced my father to show affection to her in public all day long. "
"The pair of earrings in her hand were taken by her after she forced my father to take pictures of them not long after they got married."
Seeing Qiu Jinglan's face as dark as water, Jiang Xingfeng reluctantly pulled Lu Mingyue.
"Mingyue, stop talking."
"I want to say something!" Lu Mingyue's eyes were blazing as he scanned the audience one by one, "These people here don't know anything. Why should they accept Qiu Jinglan's words and accuse you unjustly?"
"A wealthy lady who has been in prison, don't you think about how bad her character is to be sentenced to nearly two years? She is still leading her by the nose and believing every word she says."
Those who were seen by Lu Mingyue couldn't help but avoid her gaze.But then they felt confused, why should they be afraid of the eyes of an illegitimate daughter?
Lu Mingyue's eyes scanned the entire audience, and then looked at Jiang Xingfeng again.
"Qiu Jinglan believed that you would be soft-hearted, so she dared to call black things white."
"Dad, you are a good person. Why should a good person deserve to be bullied by a bad person?"
"Now I am your daughter, and I don't agree with you being bullied like this anymore!"
