To Love You Again

Chapter 393 - Xiong Zhis Tiny Surprise Gift (IV)

Chapter 393 - Xiong Zhi's Tiny Surprise Gift (IV)

"What can you say about this, Miss Xiong Wuyue, is it true that you are at odds with the heiress? Did you ask your father to hire men to carry it out for you?"

Xiong Wuyue was scared stiff as she clenched her trembling fists. She looked at her father across the crowd. She wanted to ask him if her involvement was exposed.

She saw her father struggle while being dragged slowly, shouting at the reporters to stop bothering her.

But all their attention was still on her.

Xiong De persistently shouted. "You despicable people! I already confessed everything! Leave my innocent daughter alone! Stop dragging an innocent in!"

However, it was as if there was a mysterious hand preventing the people from scattering away from Xiong Wuyue. They did not leave her and continued to bombard her with questions.

Xiong Wuyue's eyes dilated in panic and cold sweat flowed down her back. What to do, what to do? There was a lot of rumors. Just what happened during this past weeks?

Being shielded by her father and by her manager, Xiong Wuyue was unclear about the exposed crimes that her father had confessed. She could not believe that her father would fall deep into something like this. Could her father turn this situation around? Her heart was full of panic. Three points for her father and seven points for her.

What she's going to do now?

She did not get exposed, right?

Her heart pounded in anxiety.

No, she must not fall here. She is Xiong Wuyue, the queen whom everyone looked up to! As long as she could preserve her innocence, there was still a chance for her to whitewash!

She squeezed out all of her acting skills. She lifted her lowered face slightly, showing her aggrieved pale face that arouses pity. Her eyes shone with tears as she bit her pale lips.

"I don't know what you are talking about. No more, please... I also feel heartbroken that all of this is happening to me..." She lightly sobbed.

"Don't you feel sorry at all for the main branch family's experience? To Master Xiong, your grandfather, and to the heiress Xiong Zhi, who had been wronged by your father?"

Xiong Wuyue's tears dropped like pearls. Appearing wronged and saddened, she opened her mouth to say that she, too, was a victim of the situation.

But at this very moment, across the crowd, the woman she hated for half of her life appeared.

The woman stood not too far away.

Her hateful face showed a cold smile, before glancing at Xiong Wuyue's father who was almost dragged out of the doorway.

"I didn't..." Xiong Wuyue stammered as she saw the woman's gesture.

This bitch...!!

Xiong Zhi smirked.

Her eyes were clearly laughing at her and her father with mockery.

Xiong Wuyue was suddenly enlightened.

...Those reporters that came to her in the island.

How could they know that she was in that island in the first place? To gather overseas material and even travel across the ocean. A mere reporter would not spend that much money and effort unless someone tipped them off. And who could possibly do that? Only people with power could monitor her moves. Someone with a deep grudge against her without fearing the Xiong family's backlash.

That was why they put out this kind of interview and even added nonsense to it.

It was clearly...that bitch's fault!

Realizing this, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists hard that her knuckles turned white. She felt her blood boil as fury began to overwhelm her reason.

This bitch was clearly laughing at their situation! Her father dragged away as a criminal, and she accused as a sinner's daughter. This bitch was clearly seeing this as an enjoyable show!

This was the bitch's ploy, her planned scheme!

Did she had fun watching them shamed and humiliated?!

Xiong Wuyue had never felt so wronged and angry yet unable to show them. The heat in her head made her dizzy as her vision filled in with scattered white spots.

Her manic hatred had nowhere to erupt.

She tried her best to not lose control, or else, she would have ran forward and slap that ugly face to erase that mocking smile.

Xiong Zhi enjoyed the scene and took a step towards Xiong Wuyue. Of course, she made sure that Xiong De was still in the room to witness all these.

Ah~ Revenge truly was a dish best served cold.

One of the reporters noticed her and gave way. They temporarily stopped bombarding Xiong Wuyue for a moment.

No way, this was the Xiong heiress!

The sea of reporters split in the middle and gave way to her as if she was Moses.

They were all looking forward to a show. How would the heiress, the victim, react after seeing the interview?

Hold on, did she even see it?

They all looked at each other.

One courageous reporter dared to ask the approaching Xiong Zhi.

"Miss Xiong Zhi, have you seen the article about Xiong Wuyue's interview while hiding in VX Island? It's said that she was hiding because she is suspected of having connections with the attempted r.a.p.e. How do you feel about it?"

The neighboring reporter trembled and nudged the reporter who asked, asking silently if he still wanted his job. This was the heiress of the Xiong family! Not some daughter of a banished member like Xiong Wuyue.

However, the woman surprisingly answered.

"I've seen it."

Amidst the silence, it was clear and loud.

Xiong De at the entrance halted. The officer unexpectedly did not drag him further and let him watch the show for the day.

Alarmed, Xiong De remembered what Xiong Zhi had said before he came out of the Xiong Mansion.

'Uncle, while you are in prison, don't worry about cousin Wuyu'er. I will take good care of her.'

Xiong De's heart was alarmed.

If she dared to touch his daughter—

Slap!

A resounding crisp slap echoed in the whole court.

The reporters collectively took a deep breath, their eyes shining.

The hat and the sunglasses fell over with a muted thud. Xiong Wuyue's eyes opened wide in disbelief as she held her inflamed cheek. It swelled in a blink of an eye.

"And I truly felt bad about it," Xiong Zhi added with cold eyes.

***

Behind the scene:

A day before the trial.

Linfeng was handing bribes and spoke to the officer. This was the officer who will escort Xiong De at the court tomorrow.

Linfeng: When you drag him away, make sure to drag him hard and slow.

Officer: Yes, Sir.

Linfeng: Make sure to leave him some bruises.

Officr: ...Yes, Sir...

Linfeng: Purple ones. No, black is better.

Officer: .... ⊙﹏⊙∥

Another scene:

Old Xiong was surprised to hear that there would be a show later on.

When he saw that Xiong De's daughter come in and was roasted by the reporters, he seemed to understand what the 'show' was about.

The court officials were about to interrupt and help the cornered woman, but Old Xiong coughed.

Old Xiong: *cough* *cough*! My old self and my granddaughter suffered a lot from this shameful people. *cough* I am not yet feeling good.

The court officials: ....

The court officials then decided not to interrupt and became a bystander to this show.

Besides, if they stepped in, who knew how this powerful old man 'who was not feeling good' do to retaliate against them?
