Chapter 38: My Brother's Counseling Ability Is Quite Confident
Mu Qing's eyebrows were curved and she said calmly: "Brother can see that these two foxes want to eat the Jing Group's big cake."
Jing Yuan picked up the champagne and shook it and said, "Qingqing can see it, how could my brother not know it?"
Mu Qing said sweetly: "Brother really believes in Qingqing."
Jing Yuan's lips raised slightly: "Brother is quite confident in his tutoring ability."
The climax of the banquet soon came.
Shen Zetian, Meng Jiao, Mu Qing, and Shen Mengli walked to the stage.
Shen Zetian smiled from ear to ear: "All the prominent people in Haicheng are here to attend my daughter's homecoming party. Shen feels extremely honored. My daughter has been wandering away for eighteen years..."
The spotlight shone on Shen Zetian's words. Without any warning, the lights dimmed and the scene fell into darkness, while the screen behind him lit up.
Meng Jiao did not turn her head to look at the screen behind her, and the corners of her raised mouth were filled with pride.
Under the bright lights of the screen, Meng Jiao could see the shock and surprise in the eyes of the guests. The prepared media also rushed to the front row of the stage to take pictures under Meng Jiao's arrangement.
Meng Jiao raised the microphone in her hand and said: "This child Mu Qing has lived a miserable life wandering outside for many years. We have thought about the situation she will face after she is lost..."
Meng Jiao was impassioned on stage, and Mu Qing couldn't interrupt her.
Mu Qing gently tapped Meng Jiao's shoulder, and Meng Jiao shrugged impatiently, trying to shut up Mu Qing.
Meng Jiao didn't notice the strange eyes and unnatural expressions of the guests in the audience.
Mu Qing touched Meng Jiao again, and Meng Jiao turned around: "What are you doing?"
Mu Qing said with a half-smiling expression: "Aunt Meng, do you want to look at the big screen before talking?"
What to do with the big screen?
Meng Jiao felt perplexed. She glanced at the screen out of the corner of her eye, and the posture that she was about to turn back to suddenly froze, her neck stiffened and her posture strange.
Meng Jiao stared at what was on the screen with wide eyes and disbelief.
What was displayed above was not the photo that Meng Jiao had prepared. What they had prepared was probably the photo of Mu Qing begging along the street in Yuncun before she returned to Shen's house.
Taking advantage of Shen Zetian to arrange for the media to be present, he wanted to make the homecoming banquet so grand that Mu Qing's past would become a shame to the Shen family.
This is Meng Jiao's method to deal with Mu Qing, to make Mu Qing become a complete joke.
The more grand Shen Zetian wants to do, the more angry he will be at this moment.
But Meng Jiao never thought that the above content was evidence that Shen Mengli had changed her age.
Meng Jiao's livid face instantly turned pale.
After seeing the content clearly, the guests present began to whisper: "Shen Mengli is two years younger?"
"Then she is eighteen years old. Isn't she the same age as Mu Qing?"
"Same age? Does that mean that when Shen Zetian was with his first wife, he also had sex with his second wife? That's shocking."
"No wonder the younger age has to be changed. It is said that the second lady is a good friend of the original wife. After the original wife died, the second lady and Shen Zecai were together. If the younger age is not changed, wouldn't it mean that she becomes a mistress?"
"Then Shen Mengli is an illegitimate daughter."
"It turned out to be to cover up the fact that I had cheated."
In an instant, everyone looked at Meng Jiao and Shen Mengli in a different way.
Shen Mengli's face was pale. The persona she wanted to maintain and the identity she tried so hard to conceal never expected that it would be presented in this way at the homecoming banquet.
Shen Mengli's whole body was trembling, and she could no longer maintain her noble and elegant image. The flames in Shen Mengli's eyes spurted out like fire snakes.
Shen Mengli was filled with indignation: "This is false! You really did everything you could to ruin my reputation."
Meng Jiao came back to her senses and suppressed the panic in her heart. She almost threw herself into confusion.
"Mu Mu, I didn't expect you to have such a big resentment towards me. Although you have always disliked me, you just slandered me like this, and you actually slandered your father. Where did you put your father's reputation and the Shen family's reputation? Where is the reputation?"
Meng Jiao's expression of understanding was as if she was thinking about the Shen family. If Mu Qing had any resentment, just come to Meng Jiao.
Meng Jiao said matter-of-factly: "This is your homecoming banquet after all. Why make the banquet so embarrassing just because you have been living abroad for eighteen years and because your father has another family?"
Seeing Meng Jiao and Shen Mengli acting affectionately and understanding each other, everyone present was led by the nose and took a breath of air as if they had reacted.
Jiang Yayi took the lead and shouted angrily: "Mu Qing is actually responsible?"
"By engaging in such conspiracy at her homecoming party, is she trying to ruin the homecoming party?"
"So these pictures are all fake and Shen Mengli has not changed her age?"
"Mu Qing probably doesn't like her stepmothers, so she slanders them in this way."
"My mind is so vicious at such a young age, it's terrifying to think about it."
Mu Qing's face was expressionless and her eyes were sinister: "Are you sure it was me who did it?"
Meng Jiao raised her head and said, "If it wasn't you or who else, could it be that I poured dirty water on myself?"
Mu Qing chuckled softly: "I can give Aunt Meng a chance. It would be better to admit it on my own initiative than to be exposed and lose face."
Give her a chance? Does she need Mu Qing to give her a chance?
Meng Jiao had a serious face: "I have no idea what you are going to say."
These things were not done by Meng Jiao, so why should Meng Jiao take the initiative to admit them?
Meng Jiao felt a little flustered when she saw Mu Qing's expression. Mu Qing's expression was so familiar to her, and she felt a sense of fear as if she had fallen into an abyss.
But she still forced a smile and twitched the corners of her mouth: "Is there something wrong with Mu Qing's head?"
"What does she want Meng Jiao to admit? It's inexplicable."
"She is not an economical person. Master Jing was deceived by her, and even the stepmother did not let him go."
"Shen Mengli is so good, no wonder Mu Qing is jealous."
Mu Qing said nothing, staring at Meng Jiao with her dark eyes, and the lack of emotion in her eyes made people feel scared.
Suddenly the big screen flashed, the screen went black but a recording came out.
"You can release this document at the banquet later."
"Just when Shen Zetian introduced Mu Qing on the stage."
"A girl living in the countryside wants to occupy my daughter's position as the eldest daughter of the Shen family."
"The reputation of the Shen family has been damaged. If the matter is blamed on Mu Qing, she will not be able to gain a foothold in the Shen family."
Even if the guests present could not recognize Meng Jiao's voice, they could still tell her identity from her words, and the tone of her voice was full of malice even through the screen.
"Isn't it terrible? You directed and acted yourself and you still slander Mu Qing?"
"Sure enough, my mother's methods are really vicious."
"She exposed her misdeeds just for the sake of her daughter. She is a cruel person!"
Meng Jiao's face turned pale, how could Mu Qing have her recording!
