Chapter 288

Wan Ru was shocked by her mother's crazed appearance and frantically shoved away Madam Wan's hand that was pulling her.0

She looked at her father, using her eyes to convey her disbelief: was her mother really going mad, turning into a mental case, to do something so absurd?0

Mr. Wan was also stunned by his wife's behavior. Although he was uncomfortable with the existence of Jing Yan, he didn't think it was worth sacrificing his daughter's reputation to harm Jing Yan in such an unreasonable way.0

And Jing Yan, finally regaining his voice amidst the stimulation created by his mother, stepped forward, glaring at Madam Wan.0

"I think you've truly lost it. She's my sister, how could we possibly... Is it that you hate me so much that you're willing to pin such absurd accusations on me?" Jing Yan sneered.0

In Jing Yan's view, Madam Wan was simply unable to accept that tonight's events didn't unfold as she wished, so she became obsessive. And because he had always been submissive to her, she thought he could tolerate any harm she inflicted upon him without limits.0

But even if he was indecisive when it came to his mother, there were some things he simply couldn't bear.0

Yet, Madam Wan insisted he take the blame. Only by doing so could her own children escape this calamity.0

“It's you, it's you! You won't admit it, but I'm the witness. I've seen you force yourself on your sister. You're nothing but a despicable beast. Otherwise... otherwise, I wouldn't treat you like this. No one knows, but I do. You're a natural-born evil, insane...” As Madam Wan spoke, her expression grew more and more twisted.0

Everyone present couldn't bear to listen anymore.0

"What the hell, is she crazy?" Guo Yalan couldn't help but curse.0

"She's sick," Luo Fei said coldly.0

"This is actually not bad. It will completely break Jing Yan's heart, and he won't have to show off any 'birth debt' in the future," Yu Yue sneered.0

Bai Xiaoxi was so angry her cheeks puffed up. "How can she be like this! Jing Yan is so pitiful."0

How can one describe her as merely evil? Clearly, he's not her child, yet she can smear so confidently, as if any flaw in her own children can be shifted entirely to Jing Yan. Jing Yan deserves to bear all the mistakes of her children.0

The Qin family listened and sighed: Previously, they felt sorry for her children encountering such a misunderstanding, but now they truly think it's karma. Who had malicious intentions?0

Qin Xian raised his eyebrows, sensing the moment was right.0

His face turned pale, and his body swayed uncontrollably as he took a step back.

A hand steadied him from behind. Jing Yan, bewildered, turned around to see Cen Ting's always cold face.0

Cen Ting rarely took the initiative to step forward.0

"Madam Wan, if you're going to slander someone, at least use your brain. Earlier, during the reception, Jing Yan was under everyone's watchful eyes. After being drugged by you, he was with me, then rescued by friends. Meanwhile, your daughter was always with you in the hall. When could he have had the time?"0

In truth, Cen Ting didn't need to say these words, as anyone with sense would understand. But she wanted to directly burst the balloon of lies Madam Wan was desperately trying to inflate.0

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Wan looked as if her veil had been torn off, her expression vicious as she glared at Cen Ting.0

"Shut up, you little brat! He's my son, and I say he's guilty, so he's guilty. Can a mother's words be false?!"0

Madam Wan's roar silenced everyone present.0Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Suddenly, a voice rang out.0

"But what if you're not his real mother?"0

In an instant, Madam Wan froze, and all eyes turned toward the direction of the voice.0

Initially, everyone thought it was some random gossipmonger making wild guesses, but when they saw the speaker, their minds went blank.0

Qin Xian was not one to speak without basis.0

Moreover, he was accompanied by Ji Fei, the "Oracle of the Entertainment Industry," known for uncovering the juiciest scandals among the wealthy.0

Meanwhile, the seemingly profound Ji Fei was looking at Qin Xian in astonishment.0

【What? Just say it outright? No evidence? Is Qin Xian so sure of his guess? Luckily, it's true, or else this round of the CEO's showmanship would be a joke.】0

Ji Fei secretly exhaled, making the Qin family chuckle.0

It almost made Qin Xian lose his composure. He glanced at his wife with helplessness, then met the shocked gazes of the crowd, especially Jing Yan.0

Jing Yan trusted Qin Xian's abilities deeply, so he widened his eyes, almost pleading, "What do you mean by that?"0

Never had Jing Yan felt such a strong desire to distance himself from Madam Wan, even wishing for a miracle from Qin Xian.0

Qin Xian had no evidence, but he spoke calmly and confidently, "If Madam Wan isn't insane and her actions can be explained, then there's only one possibility: you're not her child. That's why she can hurt you, use you, and shamelessly ruin your reputation to seize your position as heir without hesitation."0

Many people had similar thoughts, but they were just idle speculations. How could it possibly be true?0

"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense!" Madam Wan, like a madwoman, screamed and yelled before Qin Xian could finish. "I treat him like this because he deserves it. Because of him, I had a difficult labor. Because of him, my husband died. Everything is his fault. Why should I treat him well?"0

【Wow, she actually believes Jing Yan owes her, just because she thinks his birth caused the death of her husband, making her a widow and her child fatherless... What nonsense, it's all bullshit.】0

The Qin family was also stunned.0

"Then what about the accusation of incest with Wan Ru? You'd even do something so unreasonable, unless..." Qin Xian said calmly, watching Madam Wan's growing panic, then coldly continued, "Unless it's to cover up the real incest."0

With this statement and the earlier claim that Jing Yan wasn't her real child, everyone began to make bold speculations.0

"Could it be that Jing Yu is actually Madam Wan's child, and Jing Yan is Madam Xie's? Maybe the children were switched when they were young?! After all, they look so much alike, and maybe even more so when they were younger. Perhaps no one would have noticed if they were switched!" Guo Yalan, never one to shy away from drama, shouted enthusiastically. "Jing Yan, want to do a paternity test? I know someone, I can introduce you!"0

"No, no, I didn't! I didn't! Jing Yan is my child, Jing Yu and Wan Ru are not siblings, no!" Madam Wan, like a cornered beast, shouted incoherently with bloodshot eyes.0

Her frantic, disjointed words only made everything seem more suspicious.0

Mr. Wan, who knew his wife best, was the most shocked. He staggered, realizing Madam Wan's guilt.0

The involved parties looked at each other in astonishment.0

Finally, Wan Ru let out a scream and began pulling at Madam Wan frantically, shouting, "It's not true, me and Jing Yu aren't siblings, right? Mom, tell them, prove it!"0

The phones that had captured the ugly truth were also dropped to the ground during the commotion.
