Chapter 292 Mr. Ling
Yuan Sixiao looked at the crowd of onlookers, his warning in his eyes was undisguised, and his intention to support Yuan Yangyang was all too clear.
Those who had been suspicious and distrustful of Yuan Yangyang because of Su Mingyue's words immediately fell silent and dared not express their opinions freely anymore.
They simply stand by and watch the show.
Seeing this, Yuan Sixiao withdrew his gaze and spoke casually.
"The Yuan family may not have much else, but they're incredibly wealthy. Yangyang could spend it however she wanted, and she couldn't spend it all in ten lifetimes. She doesn't need to be a shill! Do you want to hear what you're saying?!"
Yuan Sixiao's sharp eyes and dangerous aura made the originally arrogant Su Mingyue tremble with fear.
Under Yuan Sixiao's dangerous gaze, he couldn't utter a single word of his prepared remarks.
Yuan Si'an also stepped forward to protect Yuan Yangyang and argued his case.
"Exactly! My sister can film whatever she wants, and she doesn't have to report to you when she doesn't want to film anymore!!"
A painting, used as a prop; my sister's jewelry alone is worth more than that.
If you have a filthy mind, everything you see is dirty. Don't drag Yangyang into this; my sister is kind.
Unlike some people who, unable to reach the grapes, complain about sour grapes and can't stand seeing others do well, they don't even know how to hide their jealous faces!
Su Mingyue was embarrassed by the two brothers' merciless words. She wanted to argue her point, but someone next to her tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.
Su Mingyue then noticed that the people around her seemed to agree with what the Yuan brothers said, and the gazes that were originally dissatisfied with Yuan Yangyang were now all turned to her.
Su Mingyue was taken aback, not understanding how the Yuan brothers' two casual words could so quickly change public opinion and sway the opinions of those around them.
Su Mingyue overlooked one thing.
That is, everyone present was someone of status, and some of them even recognized the two young masters of the Yuan family.
The attitude of the two young masters of the Yuan family naturally represents the attitude of the Yuan family.
The Yuan family's power is undeniable; how could a pampered young lady possibly act as a shill? It's utterly ridiculous.
Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, the item that the staff behind Yuan Yangyang are holding is the one that was just auctioned off.
There were several pieces, and two of them were clearly jewelry.
No matter which item you bring out, its price won't be lower than that graffiti piece.
Looking at it this way, everyone naturally leans more towards the Yuan family's version of events, believing that Su Mingyue was jealous of Yuan Yangyang and that's why she made up lies to smear Yuan Yangyang.
The scene that should have been one of condemning Yuan Yangyang was now reversed, with people pointing fingers at her.
Although the voices weren't loud, the disdain and contempt in those people's eyes made Su Mingyue, who was usually very self-assured, feel her face burning.
Looking at Yuan Yangyang hiding behind the Yuan brothers, Su Mingyue's anger and resentment rose steadily.
Even though she knew she was now at a disadvantage and it was no longer appropriate for her to stay there.
Seeing Yuan Yangyang, who was completely unharmed and hadn't even said a word before people rushed to fight for her, Su Mingyue felt rooted to the spot and didn't want to back down an inch.
In an instant, her rationality crumbled under the burning rage, and her resentment poured out without restraint.
"Yuan Yangyang, if you have the guts, come out and explain yourself. Hiding behind others is nothing but a guilty conscience!"
“You have status and money, which we ordinary people can’t compare to, but at least I’m kind and won’t treat the rules like a game like you do.”
You maliciously raised prices because of your own perverse tastes. The facts are right here. You did it, and that's that. Even if you're not short of money, it doesn't mean you're innocent!
"Someone like you who does whatever you want just because you have a little money—I feel suffocated just being in the same air as you. The stench of money is overwhelming!"
Su Mingyue, acting like a champion of justice, asserted with absolute certainty that Yuan Yangyang was maliciously overcharging.
However, since Yuan Yangyang was not short of money, her previous claim of being a shill for the painting was untenable. Su Mingyue immediately changed her tune, insisting that Yuan Yangyang was maliciously bidding because of her perverse sense of humor.
Judging from her demeanor, Su Mingyue clearly wouldn't give up until she had nailed Yuan Yangyang to the pillar of shame.
They even went so far as to invoke the banner of ordinary people, portraying Yuan Yangyang as a wicked and dissolute playboy.
But Su Mingyue forgot that this was an auction, and there were no ordinary people here, no one who could empathize with her.
Even wealthy families are never short of unfilial descendants; in other words, spoiled brats with perverse tastes.
Su Mingyue's words not only failed to achieve their intended effect, but also caused the faces of these people, all of whom reeked of money, to darken.
Everyone present was shrewd and had already figured out what was going on.
It's obvious that Su Mingyue has a grudge against the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, and this whole thing is just to frame Yuan Yangyang.
They're willing to watch the spectacle, but using them as pawns is unacceptable.
What's more, they also indirectly insulted them and their younger family members.
Ha, what a boastful statement.
Yuan Yangyang watched as Su Mingyue's words caused everyone around her, who had initially been watching the commotion, to glare angrily at her in unison.
Even Yuan Yangyang admired the effect.
[As expected of the female lead, one sentence ignited the anger of everyone present, leaving no one unscathed. Her firepower is truly formidable!]
Xu Lengyu scoffed lightly. "Female lead, my foot! With that kind of intelligence, her brain is probably no bigger than a walnut."
I don't know where he got the courage, but he kept going up to Yuan Yangyang to humiliate her.
Didn't you see that nobody was standing on her side?
The two women who came with Su Mingyue took a step back as if to avoid suspicion, keeping their mouths shut and wishing they could disappear.
Yuan Yangyang wasn't angry. Instead, she looked at Su Mingyue as if she were a clown, and was about to speak.
Then a manager-like person came over with two staff members.
The two staff members were holding up the watercolor painting that had been auctioned off for 1.05 million yuan.
People around them made way for them, some curious and some puzzled, wondering what was going on.
The steward walked straight up to Yuan Yangyang and explained his purpose.
“Miss Yuan, the gentleman who bought this painting asked me to give it to you.”
"Me?" Yuan Yangyang asked back, feeling puzzled and incredulous.
The steward nodded. "Yes, the master said the item should be returned to its rightful owner."
One sentence stirred up a huge wave in Yuan Yangyang's heart.
"He knows me?"
Yuan Yangyang could only come up with this one line of thought, and she tried to get the answer from the manager.
"I don't know that. He's a Mr. Ling."
Yuan Yangyang looked helplessly at the painting presented to her, but in the end, she couldn't bear to refuse it.
However, she only received the surname of the so-called "sir" from the steward, and had no idea what his given name was.
Yuan Yangyang thought through her entire past and present lives, but couldn't find anyone with the surname Ling.
