Hearing Jiang Manting's words, Liang Yilong frowned.
What was going on?
Why weren't things developing as he had expected?
Shouldn't Jiang Manting be blaming Lin Xuan?
Why did she protect Lin Xuan right from the start?
Jiang Yutong nodded. "I also think Little Xuan didn't do it on purpose."
"But Yilong, why does your tone sound like you're saying Little Xuan injured you on purpose?" Jiang Yutong looked at Lin Xuan doubtfully.
Grandpa Jiang's eyes looked as if they had seen through everything.
As an eighty-year-old man, he had seen plenty of tricks like Liang Yilong's.
How dare he frame Little Xuan!
He really had a lot of nerve.
He absolutely could not let him marry Tongtong.
Lin Xuan, on the other hand, was stunned, a rare look of disbelief revealing itself in his eyes.
In the past, whenever Lin Li used such manipulative tricks, the Lin family would side with Lin Li without a second thought, verbally abusing him, punishing him with the family law, and starving him.
But the Jiang family actually stepped up to protect him without a moment's hesitation...
Liang Yilong said, "Tongtong, I didn't mean it like that. I already said Lin Xuan didn't do it on purpose. He just accidentally spilled it on me."
He discreetly clenched his fists.
Damn it!
This clearly looked like Lin Xuan's fault.
Furthermore, he handed the tea to Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan pushed him away, and the tea spilled onto his hand—both Jiang sisters saw this!
Why was the Jiang family defending Lin Xuan instead!
"Tongtong."
Liang Yilong said, "This tea was just boiled. If I poured it on my own hand, wouldn't I just be asking for trouble? Why would I possibly do that?"
"That's because you wanted to frame Little Xuan," Jiang Manting sneered.
Liang Yilong's heart suddenly jumped. He quickly and nervously explained, "Lin Xuan and I have barely interacted. We have no grudges against each other, so why would I frame him?"
"Who knows?" Jiang Manting scoffed coldly.
"Tongtong, believe me, I really didn't frame him." Liang Yilong grabbed Jiang Yutong's wrist.
Jiang Yutong pursed her lips.
She pulled her hand out of Liang Yilong's grasp.
Liang Yilong's expression faltered in shock.
Even Jiang Yutong didn't believe him!
"Tongtong, everything I said is true. I am absolutely not lying."
"If you still think I framed him, you can check the security cameras to prove my innocence."
Jiang Manting sneered, "Alright, let's check."
"Someone, pull up the security footage of everything that just happened in the living room."
Liang Yilong's eyes widened.
What? There were security cameras?
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
He had just checked; there were no cameras in this living room, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to frame Lin Xuan.
Jiang Manting must be using this method to force him into confessing his mistake.
He couldn't fall for Jiang Manting's trick!
Thinking of this, Liang Yilong's expression calmed down.
"If you want to check the cameras, go ahead," Liang Yilong said calmly. "Checking them will prove my innocence."
"Tongtong." Liang Yilong's affectionate gaze fell upon Jiang Yutong. "You have to believe me. I really have no reason to frame Lin Xuan."
Anyway, Jiang Yutong didn't know that he knew about her feelings for Lin Xuan.
He spoke with such sincerity and emotion.
Jiang Yutong would definitely stand on his side!
Jiang Yutong frowned.
Even if Liang Yilong's words just now weren't intentional, today's incident would definitely leave a grudge in Little Xuan's heart.
If she really married Liang Yilong in the future.
Little Xuan would definitely interact with her less.
That wouldn't do at all.
Little Xuan was the younger brother she had finally managed to bring back.
How could he not be close to her?
She could no longer marry Liang Yilong.
She could only give Liang Yilong a sum of money and let him find another woman to marry.
Thinking this way, the little affection Jiang Yutong had for Liang Yilong vanished completely.
Liang Yilong had no idea that Jiang Yutong was already planning to break up with him in her heart.
He waited for three minutes, and still, no one came over with the footage.
Liang Yilong sneered inwardly.
Just as he thought, Jiang Manting was bluffing!
Fortunately, he was clever enough not to fall for Jiang Manting's trap.
Watching the scenes of the Jiang family protecting him, Lin Xuan felt a warm glow in his heart.
The feeling of being protected by his own family was quite nice.
In the past, the Lin family always unconditionally chose to believe Lin Li, and he would always hide in the corner, secretly envious.
He never expected that one day, he too would be unconditionally believed by his family like this...
A man in a suit walked in.
He was holding a laptop in his hands.
"Eldest Miss," he said respectfully, "The security footage has been pulled up."
"Good."
Jiang Manting nodded. She reached out her hand, "Give me the laptop."
Liang Yilong's heart skipped a beat.
There really was security footage?
No, no, no, no.
Liang Yilong continued to force himself to stay calm.
Jiang Manting must still be acting.
Jiang Manting pressed the play button.
The footage started playing.
"Mr. Lin, with your conditions, there will definitely be many women who like you." Liang Yilong's voice came from the device.
This, this, this...
Liang Yilong's eyes suddenly widened.
There really were security cameras!
"Turn it off, turn it off quickly!" Liang Yilong shouted nervously.
Jiang Manting ignored him.
Two bodyguards stood behind Liang Yilong, standing by in full readiness. As soon as Liang Yilong made any sudden moves, they would immediately rush forward and pin him down.
The footage continued to play.
Jiang Yutong's face grew darker and darker.
To actually threaten Little Xuan right here!
Little Xuan was her precious younger brother! Who gave Liang Yilong the nerve!
Both Jiang Manting and Grandpa Jiang's expressions were very ugly.
Jiang Manting had a dark expression on her face.
She clearly knew that Liang Yilong was not a person of good character. When Liang Yilong came to their Jiang family, she should have sent someone to keep an eye on him.
That way, Little Xuan wouldn't have been subjected to unprovoked threats from others!
The footage reached the part where Liang Yilong poured tea for Lin Xuan.
Liang Yilong's face was deathly pale.
"You can't watch anymore, you really can't watch anymore."
Liang Yilong wanted to rush forward and smack the laptop away.
The two bodyguards were quick and agile, restraining Liang Yilong in time.
The truth of the matter was completely and entirely exposed before the eyes of the Jiang family.
When Lin Xuan refused the tea Liang Yilong poured for him, he had only given a gentle push.
When he pushed away Liang Yilong's tea, the tea water did not spill onto the back of Liang Yilong's hand.
Liang Yilong's reaction was half a beat too slow.
It was only after Lin Xuan pulled his hand back that the cup of tea splashed onto the back of Liang Yilong's hand.
It was very obvious.
Liang Yilong had spilled the tea on himself; it had absolutely nothing to do with Lin Xuan.
Jiang Yutong walked up with a dark face.
With a loud slap.
She slapped Liang Yilong heavily across the face. "What else do you have to say for yourself?"
"How could there be security cameras, how could there be?" Liang Yilong was still shaking his head in disbelief.
"I clearly checked, there were no cameras!"
If there were cameras, once they checked the footage, they would know he had framed Lin Xuan.
If he had known earlier that there were cameras, he would never have done this to Lin Xuan!
