Li Haina grabbed the chance and started her feigned crying.

In front of all the cameras, she sobbed emotionally and didn't forget to explain, “My father asked me to come here to have one last look of Mrs. Ye. But I never expected I would be just turned away like this.”

She sounded so convincing that most reports nearby really thought Ye s.h.i.+wei was the one who was ruthless.

“It's said that Li Dakai, your father, has bought Ye Kang'an's share in Business Ye at a low price after he disappeared. And it is rumored that your family are on bad terms with Family Ye. Is it true?”

Li Haina sobbed and replied, “Definitely untrue. Mrs. Ye even sent my father a text message especially when she was in critical situation begging my father to see her for a last time. How can you these unscrupulous newsmen say our families are on bad terms?”

Just as the drinker's heart was not in the cup, Lin was actually intending to get their attention on the text message. And unsurprisingly, the reporters all took the bait.

“Text message? What text message? Mrs. Ye has asked to see Li Dakai before she died? Is it possible that between the two of them … !?”

For a moment, all kinds of conjectures emerged.

“Don't talk nonsense!” Li Haina pretended to be angry and roared in a low voice. “My father has always been an upright person! How could he have any inappropriate relations.h.i.+p with Mrs. Ye? Even if he saw through Mrs. Ye's mind, he had never dared to respond. He even asked me to come to this funeral for him! I don't allow you to denigrate my father!”

Li spoke every word with sincere emotion, as if really speaking for her “upright” father.

When she finished, the reporters were in an uproar.

Her words had made it clear enough that Mrs. Ye misconducted and intended to seduce Li Dakai though she failed to achieve her aim until she died.

Those reporters' interest had certainly been aroused. If they dug deeper, they might excavate a big breaking news which would certainly cause a sensation in City A.

After all, Family Ye was the focus of the media in City A in addition to Family Mu.

Who didn't like peeping into the secrets of big families? What was more, the complex relations.h.i.+p between Family Ye and Family Mu had been rumored for many years, but no media dared to report on this for having no evidence.

Since no media dared to report on people of Family Mu, all their focus naturally went to Family Ye.

Li Haina's slander this time was likely to render the already shaky image of Family Ye irreparably damaged.

Ye heard of this a little late. She had been busy attending to the guests in the hall, and hurried out to have a look after hearing this. As soon as arrived, she saw Li Haina talking nonsense with tears on her face.

She couldn't stand it anymore. She just walker up and slapped across her face.

The unexpected slap fell hard on Li, making her mind go straight void and her body fall straight onto the ground, with her forehead knocking against the nearby steel rails in the process.

With a bang, Li Haina lost all her consciousness.

With blood on her forehead, she fell to the ground, but no one came forward to give her a hand. There were only countless cameras clicking aside.

Ye was still clenching her fists. She slapped Li Haina with her full strength because she was really p.i.s.sed off.

Done with the slap, she stood there in a daze. She didn't budge in face of the spotlight. She only stood there, quietly.

She was tasting the malice from this world, from her best friend she grew up with, from the driver and housekeeper whose today achievements was largely thanks to her father, and even … from all these strangers she had nothing to do with.

It was the way this world worked. Whoever once fell from the original prime was thus doomed to be cursed and trampled on by others.
