Chapter 217
Actually, recording the video was an accident. When Qin Xian took out his phone, he was operating it with one hand. Just as he raised it, he heard Ji Fei praising him for mastering paparazzi skills, which made his hand shake and accidentally press the screen. Only after putting away his phone did he realize the video had been automatically saved.
Perhaps influenced by the family's gossip-loving atmosphere, he didn't immediately delete it, thinking he could share it in the family group chat if anyone wanted to see it.
Just now, he was also trying his luck to see if he could capture anything, and unexpectedly...
So after the situation became uncontrollable, Qin Xian sent the video to Qin Zhao, asking him to handle it discreetly. Officially, they couldn't directly intervene due to relationships and interests, but they could still work behind the scenes.
The large screen displayed footage secretly filmed from outside the door, showing the confrontation between the two people and their suggestive conversation.
Perhaps due to the shock, no one thought to stop the video immediately.
When Xuan Yi revealed the reason why Luo Zhou pretended to be poor to deceive Tang, Luo Zhou's whole body trembled. It was what he felt most guilty about, what he feared Tang would discover the most. Even in his self-righteousness, he understood that if Tang learned he had tested and deceived her entirely because of his ex-girlfriend, it would be almost...
Luo Zhou suddenly felt as if he'd fallen into an ice pit, seemingly understanding for the first time that Tang's talk of breaking up wasn't just a temper tantrum.
And in that story, there were some special elements that made Luo Cheng suddenly realize something, causing him to turn sharply toward Xuan Yi, who looked almost ready to burst.
When the video mentioned the necklace, watching Xuan Yi's affected expressions, even though the conversation didn't admit to anything, just looking at her expressions and movements, anyone slightly clever could guess what had happened.
"Oh my god, is it what I think it is?"
"I think we're all thinking the same thing."
"This is explosive."
"The boss's wife and the second brother were actually classmates."
"So the ex-girlfriend really refers to the boss's wife?"
"The boss's wife abandoned the second brother and chose to marry the boss for a better future."
"This is too dramatic. The Luo family is quite open-minded, aren't they? Two brothers sharing the same woman? Don't they find it disgusting?"
"And look at how the boss's wife is trying to break up the second brother and his girlfriend, obviously still having feelings for him."
"Maybe they've been secretly involved all along, behind the boss's back."
"Are you saying the boss is being cuckolded?"
"Then what about the alleged theft incident..."
"It was purely out of jealousy, trying hard to frame someone."
"Isn't this typical wanting to have it both ways? Never thought the Luo family's highly praised wife would be such a person."
Luo Cheng's face had completely darkened, his gaze coldly sweeping over Luo Zhou and Xuan Yi.
Luo Zhou just stared blankly at Tang, his face completely drained of color.
Tang was shocked watching the video, not knowing who had filmed it, feeling it was like a miracle.
Xuan Yi seemed to finally come to her senses, quickly shouting, "Who filmed this? Turn it off, turn it off! Someone, turn it off quickly!"
Everyone thought Xuan Yi was panicking about the unhealthy relationship between her and her brother-in-law being exposed.
But the next second, someone gasped.
"It really was a frame-up."
Xuan Yi felt as if struck by lightning.
People then saw that after their conversation ended, when Tang turned away, Xuan Yi smoothly removed the necklace and slipped it into Tang's bag placed nearby.
The complete crime process had been captured, revealing her malicious intentions clearly.
Even though Xuan Yi opened her mouth, appearing ready to quibble, she had no way to explain.
Her entire world had completely collapsed.
She knew it was over.
Looking at the big screen with bloodshot eyes, she seemed completely unable to understand how things had turned out this way.
"Xuan Yi?" Mrs. Luo pulled at Xuan Yi in disbelief.
Mr. Luo was so angry his eyes were bulging.
Whether it was the suspicious relationship between sister-in-law and brother-in-law, or this public framing, both were huge scandals that would make the Luo family the laughingstock of high society!
Xuan Yi's family elders were also present. They actually knew about her previous relationship with Luo Zhou but thought he was just a wealthy playboy with no value in their eyes, so they had advised their daughter to break up. They never expected their usually cautious daughter would be exposed like this.
They quickly came forward saying, "It's all a misunderstanding, surely it's a misunderstanding."
But such pale explanations seemed ridiculous against the looping video.
The Luo couple's faces had turned blue with anger, their minds unable to process how to handle the current situation. Seeing the faces of Xuan Yi's family elders made them even angrier. When the other party came forward trying to hold their hands in a show of closeness, they violently pushed them away.
As the video was about to complete its second loop, Xuan Yi still hadn't figured out what to do. Her face felt numb, and her blood seemed to be flowing backward. She had never experienced such embarrassment in her life.
Now she wished she could faint and pretend none of this had happened.
But her body wouldn't even listen to her commands.
She felt as if she had been stripped naked and paraded through the streets, repeatedly watched and mocked. The discussions were like countless needles piercing her body. Ironically, not long ago, she had been enjoying these same discussions hurting Tang.
But now, she had replaced Tang as the protagonist.
"The more you watch, the more despicable it seems."
"It was a frame-up from start to finish. It's amazing how convincingly she acted earlier."
"Really, she's quite pretty, how can she have such a vicious mind?"
"She tried to frame an innocent makeup artist. If she had succeeded, that poor makeup artist would have been ruined."
"If you ask me, the Luo family was blind to marry such a troublemaker."
"She deceived the second brother's feelings and the boss's marriage."
"The second brother is also stupid. He should have told his family about this. How could he let his ex-girlfriend marry his elder brother? Who knows what he was thinking, only focusing on his own hurt feelings and then pretending to be poor to deceive another girl."
"He's not right in the head either."
"I'd say the most innocent ones are the boss and that makeup artist. They had the worst luck, getting involved with these two."
Even the usually composed Luo Cheng could barely stand steady now.
His own wife and his brother...
As for Tang, who had already faced the truth, she felt completely relieved after the truth came to light, wanting to laugh at the group of people who had almost pushed her into hell moments ago.
Karma really is a beautiful thing.
At the classmates' table, everyone was stunned.
Aliali: 6754d302bd5e46c308a67379"They!" Bai Xiaoxi was the most shocked, as she hadn't known anything before.
"I can't believe it was really Xuan Yi. How did she become like this?" Cen Ting was also quite shocked.
The others didn't look too pleased, after all, they were watching their friend's downfall.
"Looks like I won't need to make an appearance," Luo Fei swallowed hard, "Just wonder about this video..."
Luo Fei couldn't help but look toward Qin Xian and Ji Fei. There was actually no evidence indicating they were responsible.
But none of the people present would likely risk offending the Luo family just to help a small makeup artist prove her innocence, and the video was filmed at such a perfect moment.
One could say that such an absurd yet satisfying miracle, he had only seen from certain people before.
But Luo Fei only saw Qin Xian smiling slightly, while Ji Fei stared at the video in amazement.
But the next second, Ji Fei seemed to realize something, suddenly turning her head toward Qin Xian, who was about to say something.
Ji Fei's face lit up with joy, and she threw herself at Qin Xian, planting a big kiss on his cheek.
