Chapter 270: Chapter 271: The Hedgehog That Removed Its Spines

Translator: 549690339

Luo Meixin’s expression changed greatly upon hearing Xia Yangyang’s words, “Stop slandering me here and threatening me. Beware I get a lawyer and sue you for defamation.”

“You’re welcome to seek a lawyer, Mrs. Shen. But by then, it’ll be your reputation that’s completely ruined.”

Xia Yangyang pulled out a voice recorder.

The voice of Luo Meixin just moments ago rang out clearly from it: “So what if I pushed you down the stairs? You deserved to die anyway. You just got lucky and survived when you were five…”

Luo Meixin’s face turned pale: “You wretch, you actually recorded it.”

Then she pointed at Shen Manbing with her other hand: “Was this your scheme?”

Xia Yangyang casually responded: “Mrs. Shen, it’s unfortunate for you that I study journalism. We have a habit of always carrying a voice recorder in this profession. This is inconclusive evidence of criminal activity, your confession.”

Although Luo Meixin’s hand was paralyzed, she managed to stand up and lunged towards Xia Yangyang.

She attempted to snatch the voice recorder from Xia Yangyang.

But Xia Yangyang was nimble, easily dodging the lunge.

It was, in fact, Luo Meixin, who, as a result of her forward momentum, smacked into the edge of the hospital bed and cried out in pain yet again.

Xia Yangyang coldly said, “Aren’t you leaving yet? Do you want me to hand the evidence over to the police right now? I plan to give this recording to Shen Manbing – – I, as an outsider, don’t want to interfere in your family’s affairs. You better hope that she’s merciful enough to let you off the hook.”

The woman gritted her teeth. She didn’t expect the one she’d bullied for over a decade would now have the upper hand.

Xia Yangyang kindly reminded her: “If you delay any longer in seeking a doctor to fix your hand, I can’t guarantee there won’t be any lasting complications.”

Luo Meixin didn’t dare to take any chances. She gritted her teeth and left first.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Only Shen Manbing and Xia Yangyang were left.

Yangyang looked at the person in the corner. In an instant, she felt that the person in front of her was a completely different person from the Shen Manbing she knew.

She no longer had that hard shell around her.

She was like a porcupine who had had its spines plucked one by one, a hyperwary animal.

For a while, Yangyang didn’t know what she should say.

She placed the recorder in front of Shen Manbing: “If you want to report it to the police, this recording shows criminal intent. But I think the statute of limitations on attempted murder has probably passed. However, I think you could give it to Shen Shichuan.”

But Shen Manbing slowly raised her head.

Despite trembling, she still gave off an air of icy pride: “Why are you here, to laugh at me?”

Yangyang replied, “If I were here to laugh at you, I wouldn’t have come inside. Instead, I would’ve stood outside, silently capturing all of this on video and posting it on the internet. That way, my grudges of the past, when you made life difficult for me, would be fully redressed.”

Shen Manbing bit her lip, hugged her knees, and turned her head away.

On regular days, Xia Yangyang usually saw Shen Manbing wearing a heavy, dazzling makeup that gave her an impressive presence and extraordinary elegance.

But at this moment, her face was bare. Although she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

She seemed to have lost several years, no longer possessing a queen’s aura, instead looking like the girl next door.

Yangyang pursed her lips: “Actually, I originally came here today to ask you some questions. But since you’re not in a good mood and don’t want to see me, I’ll leave.”

As Xia Yangyang turned to leave, Shen Manbing called out to her.

Yangyang turned towards her: “What is it?”

Shen Manbing, still putting on airs, asked, “What did you come to see me for?”
