Lin Xuan frowned and glanced at Shen Qianqian.
"Lin Xuan Ge?"
Shen Qianqian secretly glanced at Lin Xuan and, upon realizing he was looking at her, shyly averted her gaze, her face flushing slightly.
Lin Xuan's wariness rose.
Why did he feel like Shen Qianqian had taken a liking to him?
After all, he hadn't even exchanged a single word with her!
Damn it!
He had no intention of getting involved with these delicate, fluttering women. Firstly, he was too lazy to deal with them, and secondly, if Su Hua found out, she might get upset. He wanted to give Su Hua enough security.
The only silver lining was that Shen Qianqian was already engaged to Lin Li.
However, it seemed that the news of Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao might come out, and their engagement could very well fall apart...
Hopefully, this time, he was just being narcissistic.
Lin Li took a deep breath and said, "Dad, I still think it's not right. Let's turn off this video."
"What are you talking about? Let the video keep playing!" Jiang Shuqin sneered.
"Li Er, Lin Xuan said this man is you, right? If you turn it off now, won't that make everyone think you're trying to cover up your tricks? Turning it off would just show you're guilty."
"Listen to your mother, don't turn it off. Let Lin Xuan open his dog eyes and see who's on that screen!"
Jiang Shuqin was blindly confident in Lin Li, insisting that he would never do something as unfaithful as cheating.
She even deliberately walked over to Shen Qianqian and comforted her, "Qianqian, don't misunderstand. My son has always liked you; how could he cheat on another woman?"
She glanced at Lin Xuan and coldly smiled, "Some people's schemes will never succeed. Li Er has always been perfect. Those who are morally corrupt and try to tarnish others' reputations are truly laughable!"
Jiang Shuqin's anger toward Lin Xuan had reached its peak after he claimed the man in the video was Lin Li.
Her expression was one of utter loathing, as if she wanted to tear Lin Xuan apart!
Shen Qianqian forced a smile and said, "Auntie, don't worry. I trust Lin Li Ge."
Jiang Shuqin suddenly noticed Qin Ruoyao.
Wasn't she the female lead in that video?
She walked over, grabbed Qin Ruoyao's arm, and said, "It's you, right? The woman in the video is you, isn't it? Come on, tell everyone who the man in the video is!"
Qin Ruoyao bit her lip and remained silent.
After seeing the video exposed and Jiang Shuqin's reaction, she knew there was no chance of her entering the Lin family.
This video was just her leverage. If it truly came to light, it would only lead to a catastrophic end for her and the Lin family...
Now that her reputation was ruined, the Lin family would never let her in.
Her fate was basically sealed...
"You're young, yet you had the guts to do such a scandalous thing, but you don't have the courage to tell everyone who the traitor is? Could it be that this traitor has a girlfriend, is engaged, or even married, which is why you're scared to speak up?"
Jiang Shuqin sneered.
With such a seductive appearance, she clearly wasn't a decent person!
Lin Li clenched his fists.
He had never felt such intense disgust toward Jiang Shuqin before.
Lin Xuan found a comfortable chair, nonchalantly crossed his legs, leaned back, and assumed a posture of enjoying the show.
It seemed Jiang Shuqin had a hundred percent filter when it came to Lin Li.
He wondered how she would react when she found out the morally corrupt man she had been defending was, in fact, her beloved son.
Tsk.
This drama was even more entertaining than he had imagined.
Jiang Shuqin was right; after all, the man in the video did have an fiancée.
"Ding!"
A QQ message popped up, from Luo Yuan.
[Luo Yuan]: How's it going? Exposed yet? Lin Xuan, give me a video call. I want to watch the drama too!
[Lin Xuan]: Sure.
Lin Xuan grabbed his phone and aimed it at the stage and the giant screen.
"Enough, stop making a scene. Aren't you embarrassed?" Lin Chang said sternly.
Unlike Jiang Shuqin, Lin Chang was more rational. He could tell that Lin Li's emotions were off.
Lin Li had never been this emotionally out of control before.
There must be some underlying reason this time.
Although he also believed in Lin Li, since Lin Li wanted the video turned off, there must be a good reason. It was better to play it safe.
“Li Er is right. Today is his birthday banquet. With so many honored guests here, it's better to turn off the video,” Lin Chang ordered.
Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, his face hadn't been exposed yet...
Everything wasn't too late.
Lin Xuan remained calm. Since he had orchestrated all of this, how could he not be fully prepared?
"Change the video," Lin Chang ordered.
"Yes, chairman."
The staff immediately followed Lin Chang's instructions, operating the computer to change the video.
However, no matter how he moved the mouse, it seemed frozen, unable to turn off.
The staff frowned and said, "Chairman, it's not working. I can't change it."
"Then turn it off!" Lin Chang frowned.
The staff tried to shut down the computer and the giant screen, but again, it wouldn't work!
"Still not working," the staff replied.
Lin Li stared at the giant screen, his heart growing increasingly frantic.
It was almost time for his face to be exposed!
He had thought he could turn it off in time, but an unexpected issue had occurred.
"How could it not be turned off?" he panicked and ran over.
Lin Li thought the staff member was working for Lin Xuan, but even when he tried to operate it himself, it still didn't work!
"Then turn off the power!" Lin Li's emotions erupted.
The more everyone watched Lin Li's reaction, the more suspicious they became, praying fervently that the video wouldn't be turned off before the man's face was exposed.
They still wanted to watch the drama unfold.
"Yes, I'll contact my colleague," the staff member said and made a call.
His colleague received the call and rushed over to turn off the giant screen.
However, a burly man in a suit and sunglasses approached them.
"Sir, I need to discuss something with you. Come, let's talk as we walk," the man said with a smile, draping his arm over the colleague's shoulder.
And just like that, the colleague was effortlessly led away.
Every minute was agony for Lin Li. His palms were already soaked with sweat.
He waited for a while, but the video still wasn't turned off.
Finally!
The man's face on the screen was exposed.
His face was identical to Lin Li's, and the high-definition camera even captured the mole on his face perfectly.
Even Jesus himself couldn't deny that it wasn't Lin Li.
At that moment, the entire room seemed to freeze, silent and eerie.
When the guests finally reacted, their eyes widened in shock and excitement.
"Isn't that Lin Li? I knew there was something fishy when Lin Li reacted so strongly. My prediction was correct."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Lin family has really hit rock bottom. Jiang Shuqin kept insisting her son wouldn't do such a thing, but now her face is thoroughly slapped."
"Truly, you can't judge a book by its cover. Lin Li seemed like a gentleman, treating his fiancée well, but who would have thought he was such a person behind closed doors."
"To be honest, I've never eaten such a big piece of gossip."
