Chapter 162 : Revealing the Truth

Lu Yunyao was astonished, “Lu Yunxiang? What has she been saying to others?”

Ye Wanqing was fuming, “She’s been badmouthing your family everywhere, saying that the Lu family is cold-hearted and unfeeling. She claims that after finding their biological daughter, they cast aside the adopted daughter. She even dares to say that despite all her years of hard work serving Madam Lu, she ended up being kicked out of the house. Bah! Did she really work hard? It’s a miracle she didn’t harm Madam Lu!”

Given Lu Yunxiang’s snobbish nature, even if she was dutifully serving Madam Lu, it was likely just to secure a share of the inheritance!

Moreover, with Madam Lu in the best hospital, receiving 24-hour care, what effort was required from her? It was merely a way for her to enhance her own image!

Lu Yunyao sighed, “This person really never changes.”

“There’s an old saying: ‘It’s easier to change rivers and mountains than to change one’s nature.’ Lu Yunxiang will never reform in this lifetime. And her foolish friend, Gu Qingyu, who listens to everything Lu Yunxiang says, is helping Lu Yunxiang tarnish the Lu family and you in the circle.”

Ye Wanqing was too embarrassed to repeat the vulgar things said about Lu Yunyao, fearing it would sully her own tongue!

They were saying behind Lu Yunyao’s back that she was scheming, and that Lu Yunxiang was driven out of the house because of her schemes. They even said that Lu Yunyao was secretly seducing men in the circle, using her bedroom relationships to help the Lu family, which was why the Lu family listened to her.

It was utter nonsense!

“Gu Qingyu? I remember her.” Lu Yunyao said, pursing her lips, “I’m not surprised at all that they’re friends.”

After all, both were equally selfish, cunning, and malicious.

“Yes, you must come to the banquet on Friday! And make sure to dress beautifully to show those who enjoy seeing you embarrassed just how wrong they are.”

Lu Yunyao smiled helplessly, “We’re going to a banquet, not to start a fight.”

“Don’t worry, just listen to me. Lu Yunxiang even tried to stir up trouble between me and Lu Yunbei. I won’t let this grudge go.”

“Alright, Wanqing, I’ll follow your advice.”

Ye Wanqing was satisfied, “That’s more like it. Yunyao, you’re so stunning that you could overshadow the entire venue. I’m looking forward to seeing what Lu Yunxiang and Gu Qingyu can do!”

…

On Friday, the banquet hall was bustling with activity, filled with prominent figures from the circle.

As soon as Lu Yunyao arrived at the entrance, Ye Wanqing waved to her, “Yunyao, over here!”

Ye Wanqing, in high heels, walked over and linked arms with her.

“You’re finally here! My friends and I have been waiting for you for ages. Come, let me introduce you. This is Miss Bai from the Bai family, Bai Xuan.”

“Hello, Bai Xuan. I’m Lu Yunyao.”

“Miss Lu, nice to meet you.”

The two shook hands and exchanged contact information under Ye Wanqing’s introduction.

Bai Xuan asked curiously, “Miss Lu, I heard that Lu Yunxiang is your family’s adopted daughter?”

Lu Yunyao responded politely, “Yes, but she is no longer part of our family.”

“Oh? What happened?”

“She did some things that weren’t very good, so my parents cut ties with her.”

“Oh, I see.”

As they chatted, a few women walked past them. One of the voluptuous and attractive women pointed at the Lu family.

“You’ve come to the right person if you want to know about the Lu family’s affairs. I know all about everything that’s happened with them.”

“Lu Yunyao? I went to the recognition banquet too. She has a face that’s just a disaster, definitely not trustworthy.”

“This woman is all over the place. I heard she even flirted with the Gu family’s eldest son! With her skill at seduction, the Lu family had to pay attention to her, so Yunxiang got kicked out.”

Lu Yunyao had her back to these people, so they didn’t recognize her as the subject of their gossip.

Ye Wanqing sneered and looked at the chattering woman, “Oh? How do you know so much about the Lu family?”

The voluptuous woman arrogantly lifted her chin. “I’ve been friends with Qingyu since we were little. Qingyu is good friends with Yunxiang, so I naturally know about the Lu family’s affairs.”

“So you know more than the Lu family members themselves?”

The voluptuous woman crossed her arms over her chest. “What do you mean by that?”

“What I mean is, this is the real Lu family heiress, Lu Yunyao. If you have any questions, you can ask her directly.”

Lu Yunyao turned around and smiled at everyone.

“Hello, I’m Lu Yunyao.”

Many people hadn’t seen the Lu family’s heiress before, so when they saw her delicate and lively face, they were all impressed.

“So this is Lu Yunyao? She looks even better than in the photos.”

“Not only do men like this face, but even I, as a woman, am touched.”

The voluptuous woman’s eyes quickly flashed with jealousy.

“Is there still a need to ask? Her affairs with Young Master Gu and other young masters are all over the circle. It can’t be fake.”

Lu Yunyao wasn’t angered at all. Her clear, doe-like eyes held a smile, and she was graceful and poised.

The other women in front of her felt like they were facing a celestial being, overwhelmed by her presence!

“May I ask what affairs I have with Young Master Gu? And which other young masters are you referring to?”

“I…” The voluptuous woman was a bit uneasy. “In front of so many people, I’m not convenient to say.”

“If you can’t even name names, how can you claim that I’m involved with men? Moreover, although the Lu family has fallen on hard times in recent years, we haven’t reached the point of selling off our daughters. If you want to throw dirt on the Lu family, please provide evidence!”

Lu Yunyao’s words were delivered with conviction!

With her soft and harmless face, her words carried the grandeur and pride expected of a wealthy family!

This was the true daughter of a noble family, who effortlessly outshone Lu Yunxiang with just a few sentences.

The voluptuous woman countered, “These are things Lu Yunxiang said herself. How can they be false? If I hadn’t heard it directly from Lu Yunxiang, would I be so certain?”

Ye Wanqing had been waiting for this!

“The things Lu Yunxiang did, I originally didn’t want to disclose for fear of scaring everyone. But since she’s been plotting against the Lu family and Yunyao behind the scenes, I have no choice but to release the evidence.”

Ye Wanqing clapped twice. “Bring out all the evidence.”

The people in the banquet hall were confused at first.

But soon, the sound system played a recording of Lu Yunxiang’s vicious voice.

It was a recording of her colluding with the Mu family to frame Lu Yunyao!

“What? Lu Yunxiang knew all along that she wasn’t the Lu family’s biological daughter and knew Lu Yunyao’s whereabouts but didn’t tell the Lu family.”

“Not only did she withhold the information, but she even wanted to hide Lu Yunyao in a remote mountain and never let her return! How could anyone be so malicious?”

“Lady Lu nearly lost her life searching for her biological daughter. Lu Yunxiang claimed to love her adoptive parents dearly. Why would she do such things behind Lady Lu’s back?”

The entire hall was in an uproar.

Lu Yunxiang’s hypocritical facade was ruthlessly ripped away!
