Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1170 - 1148: She Won’t Take the Blame

She knew that Brother Yixiao didn’t want her to face criticism once the storm had passed, but this matter concerned her, and she couldn’t pretend nothing had happened. Gently, she loosened Nie Yixiao’s fingers, forcing a comforting smile at him before walking over to Ning Xiaochuan:

"Dad, I’d like to explain."

Wu Huiyun was furious: "What is there to explain? I’ve asked Times Weekly, you went to Ji Wenxuan’s birthday party for an undercover interview that day. If you didn’t take those photos of Duoduo, who else could have? The report even has your name on the news pictures! You don’t like Duoduo, so you framed her on purpose! Do you know that by doing this, Duoduo will be ruined by you? She won’t be able to find a good family in the future! Boo hoo hoo..."

Ning Xiaochuan’s gaze toward Qiao Yongyong became more serious, his expression extremely displeased.

"I did record the video and take the photos, but after that, I didn’t hand them over to the magazine; I locked them in a drawer, and after work, I destroyed the memory card. I don’t know how it got out. I suspect someone tampered with my DV midway, discovered the recording, found it sensational, and copied it to hand over."

"Don’t make excuses! Who would believe that?!?" Wu Huiyun roared.

"I believe her." Nie Yixiao’s cold voice came, with footsteps stopping, his figure subtly blocking Qiao Yongyong: "I was also at the resort that day. Yongyong told me about secretly filming Duoduo and Gan Jinhong, and even prepared to give me the memory card, but I didn’t take it. If she really wanted to harm Duoduo, why tell me? Why not secretly hand it to the magazine?"

He paused, his voice becoming even colder, "Moreover, your daughter’s disgrace is because she didn’t cherish her reputation, messing around with a married man. What does that have to do with Yongyong? Did Yongyong force her to Gan Jinhong’s bed? She’s not taking the blame for that."

Wu Huiyun was rendered speechless, both anxious and angry, covering her face and crying.

Ning Xiaochuan’s expression towards Qiao Yongyong slightly improved, sternly reprimanding Wu Huiyun: "Enough, stop speaking for your precious daughter. If she made a mistake, she made a mistake. Do you have to shift the blame onto someone else?" Saying this, he stood up, ready to go upstairs.

"Xiaochuan, alright, alright, just assume Duoduo was wrong, but Duoduo is not only my daughter; she’s also your daughter. Can you bear to see her, a girl, living outside like that? When will you bring her back..." Wu Huiyun anxiously chased after him.

Ning Xiaochuan was determined to harshly punish his daughter this time, ignoring her completely.

Wu Huiyun had no choice but to continue pleading while crying.

Qiao Yongyong watched them walk away, turning to the man beside her: "Do you really believe me? Believe I didn’t hand over the recording?"

If he didn’t believe her, he wouldn’t have spoken for her. His profound eyes settled on her face: "Who did hand over the recording, do you know?"

She squeezed the hem of her clothes: "I’m not certain, but that day, Gan Ying asked me to go upstairs to hand in some documents; I was away for some time."

His eyes flashed, understanding crystal clear, he suddenly raised his long arm to rub her head, speaking with sternness: "In the future, at such turbulent times, don’t rush out. You have a husband." After speaking, he lowered his hand and strode outward.

Qiao Yongyong was stunned for a few seconds. What did he mean by this?

Was he afraid that Ning Xiaochuan and Wu Huiyun, in their fury, would harm her?

Was he suggesting that in future situations like this, he would step in?

Her heart blossomed with joy.

***

After Ning Duoduo was sent by Ning Xiaochuan to live at Lijing Mountain, the atmosphere at the Ning Family gradually recovered.

The reporters, who had surrounded the school and the Ning Family, gradually diminished since they could no longer see Ning Duoduo, and the situation calmed down a bit.

No matter how calm it became, everyone knew that Ning Duoduo had fallen, and it was impossible for her to regain her previous image or status in Ning Xiaochuan’s mind.

Fear was that suitable families would no longer want her.

After all, no one wishes their future daughter-in-law had an affair with a married man before marriage, and also, scandalous photos with a married man had been on a magazine for the whole city to see.

********

Desolate and uninhabited Lijing Mountain, a small apartment.

The coffee table was piled with empty beer cans and wine bottles.

During this period, Dad arranged guards outside the apartment, not allowing her to go out, fearing she might be photographed by reporters again during this peak time.

He also froze all her bank cards and credit cards, so even if she could go out, she was penniless, almost unable to move.

She felt as though she had fallen from the clouds into the mud, no longer the Ning Family’s heiress.

Ning Duoduo, drinking and drunkenly cursing at the wall, her nightgown stained by alcohol and tears, unwashed for days, her face contorted with anger.

Qiao Yongyong! It’s all Qiao Yongyong’s fault for ruining her! She won’t let Qiao Yongyong go!

But... how long would she have to stay in this godforsaken place...

Ning Duoduo took a gulp of beer, angrily throwing the bottle hard at the wall.

Just then, the door opened, and Wu Huiyun came in. Seeing her daughter like this, she was heartbroken. Duoduo had been cherished like a flower in a greenhouse all her life and had never suffered like this.

"Duoduo, stop drinking. Mom brought you some nutritious supplements and clean clothes. Tell mom what you want or what you’re missing, and I’ll buy it for you." She navigated through the bottles and cans, walking over with a frown.

Ning Duoduo, seeing her mom, cried out wronged: "Mom! How much longer do I have to stay here?"

"I don’t know... your dad is still very angry, and your scandal hasn’t blown over yet. Hang in there just a little while longer." Wu Huiyun was heartbroken but helpless.

"I can barely hold on!"

Wu Huiyun was also upset with her daughter: "You’re still talking! Mom warned you not to mess with Gan Jinhong. Why did you have to play wild with a married man, and now see what happened! Walk in the dark long enough, and you’ll eventually meet a ghost. Finally, paper couldn’t cover fire! Mom shouldn’t have indulged you so much, sigh!"

Ning Duoduo didn’t think it was her fault, crying even louder: "We were always very careful; it was impossible to be discovered. It’s all Qiao Yongyong’s fault. If she hadn’t handed the video to the magazine, how could I have made such a fool of myself. That woman is at home, living comfortably, eating and drinking well, while I am confined in a place like this, like a prison; why? Mom... she’s ruined me. Even if I return to the Ning Family, dad will probably hate me, and no wealthy young master will likely think highly of me ever again! My reputation is completely ruined! Mom, I hate her so much!"
