A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1520 - 292: Stars Surrounding the Moon, Surfacing

At this moment, the young girl slightly raised her brows, a faintly serene smile spread at the corners of her lips, making her look so soft and beautiful, yet those eyes, deep and black as ink brimming with brilliance, were like a deep ancient well, utterly inscrutable.

In the depths of that gaze, a flash of bloody mockery swiftly passed by.

Human nature, truly so fragile, so ugly!

She was grateful that she wasn’t so overflowing with compassion as to save a girl who had lost her way because of love. Love, after all, is the greatest and the most twisted thing in this world. She understood this girl but couldn’t tolerate her, as she had directed the blade towards herself.

Although one day she might also distort human nature for Brother Yan, isn’t human nature inherently selfish?

Human selfishness lies in tolerating oneself but being unable to tolerate others.

In other words, to borrow a timeless saying from Emperor Wei, I’d rather wrong the world than let the world wrong me!

"She brought me here, it was her who called the senior over, I only mentioned it to her in passing, I didn’t think she would take it to heart. Sister Yun Ya, I know you care about me, but are you really helping me or harming me by doing this?"

Tao Yuzhu said aggrievedly.

Yun Ya almost wanted to applaud her acting skills. She did have her moments of misjudgment, thinking the girl was simple and pure, but turned out to have quite a few tricks up her sleeve, giving her an unexpected surprise.

Huang Jia’s face stiffened, the meaning was already very clear, how could her little sister...

Zhuang Xiyue sneered, "Miss Tao, you have to be responsible for what you say."

Glancing at Lady Tao, she said faintly, "I forgive Miss Tao’s youthful ignorance, but Lady Tao is a person who can distinguish right from wrong and surely won’t be affected by all this nonsense."

She was reminding Lady Tao.

Lady Tao was no fool, in fact, she had figured it out from the start. What Huang Jia implied was exactly her thinking. She didn’t expect her daughter to be so dumb, throwing dirt on Ji Yunya when the meaning was already so clear. Didn’t she know her own deeds?

"Yuzhu, think it over, was it really Miss Ji?"

Lady Tao’s gaze implied a warning.

"Miss Tao, just feel free to speak boldly, there are so many witnesses, you won’t suffer any injustice." Dongfang Yi appeared like a kind and understanding older sister.

Huang Jia subtly glanced at her, this Dongfang Yi kept sowing discord, did she really think the people of the Tao Family were fools? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Tao Yuzhu still stubbornly refused to back down, "Sister Yun Ya, can you plead with mom for me? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this, boo hoo..." She said and started crying into her hands.

Dongfang Yi sighed, "Miss Ji, what you did was a bit excessive, Miss Tao is still a child, today is the most important day of her life, and yet you ruined it, truly... ah..."

"May I ask... what exactly did I do?" Yun Ya asked with a smile.

"If you dare to do it, you should dare to admit it. Lady Tao is reasonable, as long as you sincerely apologize, both Lady Tao and Miss Tao will forgive you."

"Why should I admit to things I haven’t done? All along it’s been you who have been saying things, but wouldn’t you allow me, the person involved, to explain?" Yun Ya glanced around, her cold gaze inexplicably sending chills to everyone’s hearts.

"What does Miss Ji want to explain?"

Yun Ya, nonchalantly smoothing a wrinkle on her skirt, said expressionlessly, "First, why would I frame Miss Tao and Lau Yixuan, supposedly just to embarrass Miss Tao? Then what is your motive for suspicion? Isn’t the idea of stealing the spotlight too far-fetched? Searching your hearts, do you believe it yourselves?"

"Second, I was indeed with Miss Tao the whole time, but after dancing, Miss Tao left. I followed out of concern for her safety, accidentally having red wine spilled on me by a wine attendant, and it was Miss Dongfang who accompanied me to the washroom. At the restroom entrance, we indeed met Lady Zhang and Lady Xie. So why did Lady Zhang and Lady Xie only see me sneaking around and conveniently ignore Miss Dongfang? When it comes to motives, I think Miss Dongfang is more suspicious. After all, when the sandpiper and clam fight, the fisherman benefits...."

Yun Ya was straightforwardly pointing it out, Dongfang Yi, you’ve schemed meticulously, let’s see how you handle this.

When the sandpiper and clam fight, the fisherman benefits!

The metaphor within this sentence was so deep that for a moment everyone’s minds spun rapidly, thinking of the families each represented behind them. Tonight’s "farce" clearly surfaced.
