Chapter 91: A New Play Begins
I never thought that the scene was over there, and the good show in the Cen family's mansion was just about to start.
The tired Zhuo Jiali just walked into the living room with her luggage, but saw the Cen family members sitting on the sofa, staring at her in unison. The eyes of Shen Biyun, the mother-in-law in the middle, almost devoured her alive.
Zhuo Jiali didn't want to be entangled in the whirlpool of everyone's eyes, and took the initiative to say "I'm back" to everyone and walked quickly to the stairs.
"Stop!"
Shen Biyun's stern voice sounded behind her, so Zhuo Jiali had to stop and turn around.
"Mother-in-law, is there something wrong with me?"
"You're still asking me, and you're acting like nothing happened!"
Shen Biyun also changed her opinion of Zhuo Jiali a little some time ago, and when she saw those dirty things today, she was both annoyed and angry, for fear that she was dizzy and mistrusted this person.
The more Zhuo Jiali listened, the more confused she became, what was the matter of going to an event and a meeting in other places? But because of her mother-in-law's face, Zhuo Jiali was still kind to her.
"Please make it clear. β
Cen Shaoya listened to the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law ask questions on the side, but there was no answer, and she was already very anxious, and threw an envelope on the coffee table.
"That's what you do!"
Zhuo Jiali let go of her luggage, walked to the coffee table suspiciously and picked up the envelope.
Zhuo Jiali's heart was open, and she would not pay attention to rumors without evidence, so she generously opened the envelope and took out the contents of it.
It was a photo, although it was a little far away, and it was not very clear, but the person wearing the red dress in the middle of the photo was none other than Zhuo Jiali herself, and the most important thing was that she was trapped in the arms of a man, although she completely covered the man's head from the shooting angle, and she couldn't see who it was, but a man and a woman appeared in the camera in such a pose, and the scene outside the camera could be imagined by anyone with extremely beautiful scenery.
Zhuo Jiali stared at the photo, and her originally calm heart suddenly jumped to her throat. She couldn't remember that she had appeared in the place shown on camera, let alone which man she had such an intimate act with.
Zhuo Jiali's only memory jumped directly from the venue to the room, obviously she was alone, neatly dressed, and there was no one else.
Zhuo Jiali looked up at Cen Shaoyi who was present, she was also at the venue yesterday, would she see anything?
"Third aunt, you were here yesterday, you should have seen that I haven't been busy socializing with executives from other agencies?"
At this time, Cen Shaoyi had a leisurely and onlooker expression, and if you look closely, you can see the desperately suppressed pride in the corners of her eyes.
"I did see Carrie pushing glasses and changing lamps with the guests, but I didn't see her in the second half of the party, and I looked for a while with Bo Ning, if you don't believe you can ask Bo Ning. β
Cen Boning went home and put down his things and went back to the company to deal with urgent matters, and he was not present, but Cen Shaoyi said such ironclad evidence, it doesn't matter whether she is there or not.
The important thing is that everyone judged Zhuo Jiali to be a slut who hooked up with women in all directions.
Zhuo Jiali can be said to be speechless, although she is actually a "widow" in law at present, even if she has any new feelings, it is reasonable, but the family has never been a place that only reasons, since she stayed in the Cen family, she should also play the role of the daughter-in-law of the Cen family.
This point, in addition to Mrs. Cen's last wish, is also the last connection that everyone reluctantly let her stay.
Zhuo Jiali's brain was congested, her eyes burned and she looked at the photo again, and slowly the clothes of the unknown man in the photo actually made her a little impressed, it seemed that Shang Qingyuan was wearing this gray suit yesterday!
"This man is ......"
"This person is me!"
Zhuo Jiali was only halfway through her words, but she was caught by the life that came in from outside the door, she turned her head in shock, and Cen Shaonan was winking at her with an imperceptible amplitude that others were not aware of.
"Why are you again?"
Cen Shaokang, who had been sitting on the side for a long time and silently watching the blockbuster, couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw Cen Shaonan. Every time this fifth brother came to be a flower messenger when Zhuo Jiali was about to never turn over, the others were secretly unhappy.
"What is me again? This is me, yesterday I saw my niece and daughter-in-law a little drunk, I kindly sent her back to the room, halfway she was about to fall, I just helped her, I somehow was photographed by those shameless paparazzi, I said that you are all hundreds of years old together, such a boring trick to believe!"
"By the way, I remember, you were so coincidental to be there to witness your mother's secret will last time, and you also coincidentally took out the video on the night of the inauguration ceremony, and now you were so coincidentally photographed back to the room, why are you and your niece and daughter-in-law so fateful?"
The snarky Cen Shaoya found an excuse and hurriedly gave Cen Shaonan a taunt, but Cen Shaonan ignored it and turned the gun to Cen Shaoyi.
"I saw it yesterday when the third sister was there, right?"
Last night, Cen Shaonan happened to be wearing a suit of similar color to Monk Qingyuan, and the photo was blurry and he couldn't see the style of the clothes clearly, Cen Shaoyi could only frown and reluctantly said "yes".
"You also saw your niece and daughter-in-law go to socialize, she drank too much, and I, as an elder, sent her back to rest, is there anything wrong? Those who act are blamed, but those who do not act are at ease. β
"You!"
Cen Shaoyi was so frightened that he had no power to fight back, blindly staring at him and his face twitched.
"Enough!"
Shen Biyun, who had a serious face, finally reached the limit of patience in everyone's verbal battle.
"Shao Nan, the Cen family has the family style of the Cen family inside, and the reputation of the Cen family outside, I don't care if you have any entanglements with this woman in the past, but today the two of you were photographed with such a scene, and the photos were sent to the house, maybe tomorrow the streets and alleys will be full of your gossip, which will insult the lintel of our Cen family!"
"Sister-in-lawβ"
Cen Shaonan had no intention of being afraid to back down.
"Listen, you seem to be very concerned about the reputation of our Cen family, but in fact, Carrie and I are the victims of rumors and slander!
"Impose a crime, and what proof do you have to prove that there is no dirty affair between the two of you?"
Everyone is entangled in their own affairs, but at this time, Zhuo Jiali has a feeling of being numb as if she is listening to other people's stories, and all the unreasonableness is melted into the basin of dirty water, splashed on a woman named "Zhuo Jiali", embarrassed.
Cen Shaonan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. Everyone looked at him in bewilderment, almost thinking that he had gone "crazy for love".
"I have a dirty affair with this woman? I tell you solemnly now, not only with this woman, but also with other women, I will never have a dirty affair!
Zhuo Jiali unconsciously covered her mouth, in fact, what she wanted to do most now was to cover Cen Shaonan's mouth, she didn't expect that for her own sake, he would take the initiative to reveal such an important secret in front of everyone.
"Fifth brother, you...... You have such a ...... Hobbies. β
Cen Shaokang stammered the sentence that everyone didn't dare to say in their hearts.
"I dare to admit it if I do it, otherwise why haven't I been in love or married for so many years? Or do you think I'm not good at that?"
Finally, silence spreads in the living room, and an elder of different sexual orientations kindly sends his younger relatives of the opposite sex back to the room, as if they can no longer blame and pursue something.
"What are you going to do now?"
Shen Biyun, who had lost her anger, cheekily asked Zhuo Jiali how to deal with it, Zhuo Jiali was suddenly named, calmed her mind, and still responded with a respectful attitude.
"I am going to hand over the photos to the technical department for analysis, and at the same time send people to the Wangning venue to check the video surveillance footage, find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible, and there are countermeasures once the photos leak out. β
Cen Shaonan couldn't help but recall that Qingyuan couldn't help but have a love for Zhuo Jiali when the incident happened, for fear that Zhuo Jiali would send some incompetent person to investigate, which would be self-defeating, so he hurriedly volunteered.
"I said my niece and daughter-in-law, now the matter is also related to my reputation, and the investigation will be handed over to me, I will personally find out the black hand behind it and return the innocence of the two of us!"
To get the help of the thoughtful Cen Shaonan, Zhuo Jiali couldn't be happier and thanked again and again.
Cen Shaonan thought about quickly discussing the next countermeasures with Shang Qingyuan, and hurriedly left the Cen family's mansion.
With his departure, the farce that the Cen family was brewing all the time ended without a hitch, and everyone who was lost or angry or relaxed also ripped off their masks and walked off the stage, not knowing when and where it would be another good show.
