Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 466 - 447: Exposing the Conspiracy

Cheng Roning’s expression instantly fell. Earlier, she had been wishing Chu Tingting a happy union with Huo Yanting at Tingting’s birthday banquet.

Looking at it now, the words she said back then seemed like shackles, causing her to furrow her brows in worry.

Lin Banxia noticed her mother’s and brother’s concerned expressions and couldn’t help but furrow her own brows tightly.

"Should I find an opportunity to bring this matter up with Tingting? It seems clear now that Huo Yanting likes Banxia, not Tingting." Cheng Roning made up her mind to step forward for her daughter’s happiness.

Mu Jiyang sighed and shook his head: "Mom, I think this matter shouldn’t be raised by us."

Lin Banxia agreed with her brother’s opinion: "Huo Yanting said that when he returns from his business trip to M Country, he will personally handle canceling the engagement. Why not let him take the initiative first?"

Cheng Roning smiled bitterly: "No matter who raises the issue, it’ll lead to some chaos. But letting Huo Yanting handle it might be more appropriate."

"There’s one more thing that strikes me as very strange—on my way here earlier, I was unexpectedly robbed by my former sister. She snatched the pocket watch right out of my bag." Lin Banxia felt guilty about not being able to return the pocket watch to her mother.

"Why would she steal your pocket watch?" Mu Jiyang instantly became angry.

Lin Banxia shook her head: "I don’t know. Maybe she genuinely thinks the pocket watch belongs to the Lin Family."

Cheng Roning comforted her: "It’s okay. The pocket watch doesn’t hold any real significance. As long as you return to my side, that’s enough."

"Banxia, you mentioned earlier that you posted the pocket watch along with mom’s photo online. Could it be that someone saw your post and figured out your identity?" Mu Jiyang speculated.

Lin Banxia’s beautiful eyes widened, stunned: "I’ve already deleted the post, but that possibility can’t be ruled out."

"If someone familiar with mom realizes this, would they pass the information along to someone close to us, like Tingting or Aunt?" Mu Jiyang delved deeper into his thoughts, voicing his guesses as he pondered.

Lin Banxia’s face froze!

"What does your sister look like? Can you show me?" Mu Jiyang suddenly asked.

Lin Banxia then retrieved her phone and found a photo Lin Shiyi had posted in her social media circle...

All of a sudden, she stiffened completely, urgently handing the phone over to her brother: "Is this scene from Chu Tingting’s birthday banquet?"

Mu Jiyang carefully confirmed: "Indeed. Though it’s just a selfie of her in this photo, it’s certain that the setting is Tingting’s birthday venue. It seems your sister even attended last night’s birthday banquet."

Lin Banxia trembled violently, her beautiful eyes darting nervously: "I know who sent her to steal the pocket watch now!"

Mu Jiyang had guessed the same: "It was Tingting who instructed her. Perhaps Tingting already knows who you are."

Cheng Roning’s expression became somber: "Why would Tingting have her steal your pocket watch?"

Mu Jiyang sneered coldly: "Obviously, she doesn’t want Banxia to reunite with mom!"

Lin Banxia finally understood the sinister plot behind everything. She couldn’t help but shiver.

Fortunately, she had prepared earlier. Otherwise, she might have truly lost the chance to reunite with her mother and brother.

Cheng Roning was also frozen in shock, her face turning pale: "I can’t believe Tingting is such a frightening girl."

Mu Jiyang, who had grown up with this cousin, understood her nature deeply: "Mom, I think she very likely is."
