Chapter 503: I Don’t Want to Know 3

“When I was abroad, they two treated my house as their own home. Not only did they invite many people over to my house as guests, but they also entered my room freely and touched my belongings. Even the room that I strictly forbade them from entering was attempted to be broken into. Tell me, if something like this were to happen, what would you do?”
Her words instantly shattered everyone’s worldview. Who could have imagined such people still existing in today’s society?
For a moment, the way many gazed at Li Qiaomeng turned contemptuous. Even the boy who had helped Li Qiaomeng stand shifted his feet, trying to distance himself somewhat from her.
Most students at Shengan High School came from affluent families, naturally hiring domestic helpers and maids. Merely imagining their own servants treating the household as their own was utterly revolting.
After all, who would want their home occupied by others? Moreover, to bring in strangers without the owners’ knowledge and enter such private spaces as the master bedroom – who knew what those people got up to. The thought alone was nauseating, like swallowing flies.
Public sentiment swiftly shifted as many began pointing fingers at Li Qiaomeng. Some even shouted that she was a fraud, duping them for sympathy.
Although having expected such treatment after the truth came out, when all around her regarded her as a rat crossing the street, Li Qiaomeng still could not withstand this.
“I’m not…” she began defending herself but realized she knew not what to say.
All that Ye Lengan described were facts. Even if she wanted to deny them, there was no way to do so. Never had she lost face like today. At this moment she desperately wished the ground would crack open for her to crawl into.
Hiding in the shadows, Ye Xiyuan eyed the cowering Li Qiaomeng and silently cursed her uselessness. She had not anticipated such a reversal after mere minutes. This Li Qiaomeng was truly incompetent – why provide Ye Lengan the opportunity to expose everything?
If Li Qiaomeng had pretended to commit suicide earlier, would Ye Lengan not have lost the chance? What an idiot. Her million spent for nothing. Now public opinion has completely turned around without Li Qiaomeng impacting Ye Leng’an’s reputation one bit.
After fiercely glaring at Li Qiaomeng and heaving a sigh, Ye Xiyuan directly turned and left without sparing a look at the figure in the storm’s eye.
Facing condemnation from all sides, Li Qiaomeng desperately wanted to slip away. But the crowd encircling them blocked any easy exit.
“What’s this? Weren’t you begging me to forgive you earlier?” Ye Lengan felt no sympathy whatsoever for Li Qiaomengs plight, continuing, “Now that everything is out in the open, why do you not keep apologizing?”
“Miss Ye, we truly realized our mistake,” Li Qiaomeng could only steel herself to go on pleading upon hearing this. “My mother is advanced in years imprisonment would be too much for her. Please be merciful and let us off just this once! I guarantee nothing like this will ever happen again.”
Ye Lengan couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, as though having heard a joke. “Li Qiaomeng, what’s this about things never happening again? Do you think your mother can keep working for me? The reason this won’t reoccur is because I am no longer employing your mother, not because you’ve shouldered consequences for your mistakes.. I’m actually quite curious you’re already released, so where is your mother? Could it be she assumed all culpability, which allowed you to get out instead?”
