Chapter 35

Su Ning pursed her lips. She was already used to such scenes. When she was in the Gu family, every time her stepmother was injured or crying, her father would come over and question her. Every time she explained, her father would slap her. Gradually, Su Ning got used to it. She was used to the way others looked at her, or the doubt or disgust… Perhaps it was because of this experience that she was surprised even when others had the slightest bit of trust in her. Grandpa and Eldest Uncle clearly didn’t see anything, but they didn’t suspect her or question her like the others. Thinking of this, Su Ning’s cold heart gradually warmed. “Grandpa, Eldest Uncle, I was cutting the cake just now. Then, Sister Su Qing ran over and grabbed my dress, saying that it was hers. She even slapped me. Then, I was angry and retaliated.”

Su Ning tried her best to reconstruct the scene. When Old Master Su and Su Shenglang heard Su Ning’s words, they immediately knew that their guess was right. It was Su Qing who attacked first again.

However, Wei Jingshan could not take it anymore. She looked at Su Ning unhappily. “You mean Qingqing hit you first? Qingqing is indeed a little pampered, but she doesn’t hit people.”

Old Master Su said angrily, “You’re not aware whether your own daughter hit someone?”

Wei Jingshan’s eyes widened. “Dad, what do I know? What should I know? I only know that after Su Ning came, none of you looked at Qingqing! Qingqing wasn’t like this originally. It was you adults who forced Qingqing into this state. What did Qingqing do wrong?!”

Everyone was in an uproar. If it was only their guess before, Wei Jingshan’s words now confirmed that Su Ning was a bad child. The Su family had been torn apart by this child.

Su Zelin’s face flushed red. He was not good with words. Even though he was furious, he could only scold her with two words. “Shut up!” He went up to grab Wei Jingshan’s hand. “Follow me!”

Wei Jingshan broke free from his grip. “I don’t want to.” Su Qing, who was squatting on the ground, rolled on the ground when she saw her parents quarreling. Her cries were about to pierce through one’s eardrums.

At this moment, Su Shenglang said coldly, “Uncle Nie, go and get the surveillance footage in the courtyard.”

Wei Jingshan was stunned for a moment. When she regained her senses, she was so angry that her entire body was trembling. They still wanted to check the surveillance cameras? Did these people have to force Qingqing to her death? Wei Jingshan’s tears instantly fell. “You don’t have to investigate. Qingqing and I will leave, alright?” After saying that, she picked Su Qing up, but Su Qing refused. Hence, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. Su Qing cried loudly, and Wei Jingshan wiped her tears aggrievedly. She looked like she had been bullied very badly…

Everyone looked at Wei Jingshan and Su Qing sympathetically. They felt that they were so pitiful. Su Qing’s grandmother was still persuading them from the side. “Aiyo, everyone, calm down. Isn’t it normal for children to fight and play around? Don’t ruin the harmony over a small matter.” She tried to persuade them with a smile, as if she forgot who had been sowing discord behind their backs.

Su Shenglang ignored her. The butler, Uncle Nie, quickly took out the USB flash drive. “Eldest Master, the surveillance footage has been pulled out. Do you want to take a look?”

Su Shenglang raised his chin and said, “Take out the screen and project the surveillance footage.”

Wei Jingshan was stunned and could not help but say, “You… Why do you have to be so ruthless!”

Su Shenglang sneered. “Didn’t you say that Su Qing won’t hit people? Since Su Qing is innocent, what are you afraid of?”

Wei Jingshan: “…”

The curtain was quickly set up, and what had happened in the small garden just now was released without any concealment. In the surveillance footage, Su Ning was dividing the cake. Su Wen turned his head and refused. Su Ning looked at the air beside her and said something. Xiaoyu suddenly looked at Su Wen with an aggrieved expression. Immediately after, the children criticized Su Ning. Su Ning was at first confused, but soon her small face was filled with stubbornness. Just as the children were arguing, Su Qing suddenly rushed out and pulled Su Ning’s dress without saying a word. Su Ning was still holding the cake in her hand when Su Qing pushed her back a step. The cake also landed on her dress. Then, Su Qing slapped Su Ning’s face again. Su Ning was angry and slapped her back. Su Qing lay on the ground and cried.

The surveillance camera was located quite far away and they could not hear what the children were saying, but it was obvious that Su Ning had not done anything from the beginning to the end. Everyone looked at Xiaoyu in shock. At first, they heard from Xiaoyu that Su Ning had told her to get lost for no reason, so they had a bad impression of Su Ning. Then, Xiaoyu said that after Su Qing arrived, Su Ning hit Su Qing without a word, deepening their bad impression of Su Ning. But now, it seemed that the situation was completely different.
