Chapter 79: Do You Have Evidence?

Shen Ning’s cold, stern gaze locked onto Shen Mei, her body trembling slightly with indignation.
Shen Mei stood there with an air of delicacy, watching as Shen Ning was treated with disdain by these wealthy ladies. Inside, she was ecstatic but wore a facade of sorrow and concern, even casting sympathetic glances at Shen Ning, feigning anger at the situation.
“Sister, I’m sorry. i know that bringing this up could harm your reputation, but Gu Qi is a big brand, and we can’t afford any deception. 1 had no choice but to expose this issue. If it were reported later, it would be better to address it openly now and make the necessary corrections. Don’t you agree?” She had a caring and worried expression, as if Shen Ning had really included harmful ingredients.
Before Shen Ning could respond, someone suddenly jumped in, saying, “Madam Li, you don’t need to worry about anything. Shen Ning is just a scheming woman who came back to deliberately interfere with your fiance. You don’t need to sympathize with her. She’s done something bad, so quickly take her to the police station.”
Shen Ning glanced and saw that it was Wu Lili!
Wu Lili had been hiding in the crowd, and when she saw Shen Ning being praised by the wealthy ladies, she had also taken advantage of the situation to grab some perfume samples. Now, seeing Shen Mei come out to deal with Shen Ning, she was thrilled and immediately seized the opportunity to be the first to accuse Shen Ning.
Shen Ning didn’t spare a glance for this clown and simply picked up a wireless microphone, calmly asking Shen Mei, “Shen Mei, you claim that I’ve added poison to the perfume 1 developed. May I ask if you have any evidence? The Gu Qi original brand didn’t establish itself overnight. The Original Love series has already undergone market testing. As for the new varieties I’ve developed, some of them are already on the market in the United States and are currently highly sought after. It’s widely known that the testing standards in the United States are very strict. If there were really poison in the perfumes, could they pass their quality checks?”
With this statement, the crowd seemed to sober up a bit, and they fell silent. Wu Lili also shrunk back into the crowd.
“Yes, Shen Mei, do you have any evidence?”
“Words should be backed by evidence. If you’re making baseless accusations, we will take legal action against you.”
The women’s attention immediately turned towards Shen Mei!
Shen Ning had already become their idol, and if Shen Mei couldn’t provide evidence and was found to be deliberately slandering Shen Ning, they wouldn’t just stand idly by.
Shen Mei raised her eyebrows, blinked with innocent eyes, and confidently replied, “Rest assured, if I don’t have evidence, I wouldn’t dare to bring it up here.”
“Then show it.”
“Yes, show it quickly.”
The crowd urged her on.
Shen Mei hesitated for a moment, seemingly reluctant to reveal it. She cast a glance at the motionless Li Zhenting sitting below, as though she couldn’t bear to do it, and turned her innocent, affectionate eyes towards him.
Li Zhenting sat there like a statue, unchanging, like an immovable mountain.
Shen Mei couldn’t discern his emotions, unsure whether he would be angry with her for disrupting the situation. However, since he hadn’t stopped her so far, her courage grew.
As long as she could tarnish Shen Ning’s reputation, she had nothing to fear.
She slowly brought out the black liquid she had been tightly holding in her hand all along, faced the crowd, and said loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, you see, it’s this. Gu Qi employees found this in Shen Ning’s office and handed it to me. They witnessed her adding this poisonous liquid to Gu Qi’s perfumes, and almost every variety has it. This liquid has an incredibly foul odor, and its toxicity is very high. If you don’t believe me, you can come up and smell it.”
She held up the small black bottle for everyone to see.
The women in the audience stared at the black bottle in her hand, their faces turning pale.
Dear heavens, Shen Ning had actually mixed a poisonous liquid into the perfumes! It was terrifying!
