The tingling limbs transmitted excruciating pain, so intense that Sheng Ruoi could no longer remain seated.
"Ah!"
She scread loudly in pain and crawled up from the wheelchair.
She began frantically shaking her numb limbs, trying to dispel the pain.
In an instant, everyone saw her in the center of the lobby, flailing wildly, not at all looking like soone severely paralyzed.
"This Sheng Ruoi is also a big liar! Look at her hopping around, does that seem like paralysis to you?"
"Earlier Nan Qingqing even said that Sheng Ruoi was crippled by Nan Yu, now it looks like that was false!"
"My God, Nan Yu has it too tough, hasn’t she? Her foster father stole her identity for Nan Qingqing, her foster mother killed her biological mother, and still spread rumors that she was the murderer. This whole family has been ruthlessly exploiting Nan Yu!"
The looks everyone gave Nan Yu were filled with sympathy.
When Nan Qingqing heard what they were saying, her face turned paler, and her gaze towards Sheng Ruoi carried a trace of murderous intent.
She struggled to retain the nearly shattered expression on her face, her voice trembling as she said, "Mom, weren’t you paralyzed? Why can you move now?"
She had gone out of her way to ask Gu Chuxin to treat Sheng Ruoi, only to find that Sheng Ruoi had deceived her as well!
Sheng Ruoi finally recovered, heard Nan Qingqing’s words, and stiffened all over, hurriedly looking at Nan Qingqing.
"Qingqing, listen to my explanation, I really didn’t deceive you, I was indeed completely paralyzed before, but why I recovered now, I am not sure..."
As she spoke, her voice beca lower and lower.
Nan Qingqing showed a look of disappointnt, unwilling to say another word.
Sheng Ruoi, heartbroken, still wanted to explain, when out of the corner of her eye she saw Nan Yu standing nearby and rembered Nan Yu’s whisper.
She abruptly looked at Nan Yu, pointing at her, her eyes filled with hatred and fury.
"It was all Nan Yu’s doing, she made stand up!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yu slightly raised her eyebrows, "Sheng Ruoi, now that you are standing, it’s a great thing, isn’t it? You won’t have to be paralyzed for life anymore. What are you dissatisfied with? Or did you want to be paralyzed forever, which is why you are so angry?"
Her light words left Sheng Ruoi speechless.
"I... you..."
She clenched her teeth hard, unable to find a single point to rebut under everyone’s gaze.
The next second, Yan Ren’s voice ca from the crowd.
"Which Miss Nan called the police?"
Nan Qingqing ca forward in disarray, "It was who called the police."
Yan Ren saw the blood on her forehead and her unkempt clothes, which totally clashed with the luxury and excitent of the upper-class party, as if a vagrant had blundered into this world.
He frowned, then calmly spoke, "I received your report that the perpetrator who hurt Duan Zhu had appeared, where is the perpetrator now?"
Nan Qingqing’s eyes flashed with intense struggle, she spoke with difficulty.
"The perpetrator is my mother, Sheng Ruoi; she is the one who hurt the lady."
If she had known today would turn out like this, she would never have called the police.
But now with so many people watching, she had no way to claim the perpetrator was Nan Yu and clear Sheng Ruoi, she could only pretend to adopt a stance of righteousness over kinship.
Sheng Ruoi heard Nan Qingqing’s words, her face ashen, but she also understood, now was the best way.
She ca forward from behind, her voice hoarse as she spoke to Yan Ren.
"Yes, I did everything, it has nothing to do with anyone else, take away please."
Yan Ren imdiately signaled to the officers behind him with a glance, telling them to handcuff Sheng Ruoi.
Just as Sheng Ruoi was about to leave, Nan Yu spoke.
"Wait."
