"What will it be, Qiu Mu-Cheng? Are you going to admit it on your own, or shall I invite Grandpa on stage to contest your lies?”
In the hall, Qiu Mu-Ying smiled coldly as she looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng's pale face.
Qiu Mu-Ying ridiculed Qiu Mu-Cheng heedlessly as though she was her defeated opponent, and Qiu Mu-Ying was a victorious general.
She seemed afraid that Qiu Mu-Cheng wouldn't admit to her lies, so Qiu Mu-Ying brought Old Master Qiu into the matter.
Qiu Mu-Ying was certain Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't deny it now that things had escalated to this level.
Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't say a word and only raised her head to look at the stage below.
Her eyes scoured the hall until they landed somewhere in the crowd.
Old Master Qiu and Qiu Guang were seated there.
Old Master Qiu sensed Qiu Mu-Cheng looking at him and sneered coldly, "You are a disgrace! How can I, Qiu Zheng-Lun, have a granddaughter like you? You are nothing but an utter shame to the Qiu family!"
Old Master Qiu was furious that he didn't even want to look at Qiu Mu-Cheng, so he turned his head around.
Qiu Guang glanced at Qiu Mu-Cheng as he scolded her angrily, "You stupid thing! How could you do something as shameless as this? Just you wait, your reputation will get ruined!"
Although Qiu Guang's voice wasn't loud, the hall was so quiet that his words sounded exceptionally jarring.
Qiu Mu-Cheng's pretty little face instantly turned ghastly pale.
"Qiu Mu-Cheng, are you going to keep denying? Do you think you can go on pretending now that things have reached this stage? Do you really want me to invite Grandpa on stage to contest your lies publicly?" said Qiu Mu-Ying aggressively without showing Qiu Mu-Cheng any mercy.
Very quickly, the hall fell silent as everyone waited for Qiu Mu-Cheng's answer.
"Mu-Cheng, don't do it,” said Su Qian as she shook her head and told Qiu Mu-Cheng not to admit it.
After all, the moment Qiu Mu-Cheng was exposed, her reputation in the Yunzhou business circles would get completely destroyed.
Her reputation would get ruined!
Zhang Zheng-Fu also persuaded Qiu Mu-Cheng not to confess.
But even though Qiu Mu-Ying came down aggressively on her, and Su Qian and Zhang Zheng-Fu persuaded her not to confess, Qiu Mu-Cheng ended up smiling.
It was both a sorrowful and bitter smile.
"Qiu Mu-Ying, congratulations, you've won," said Qiu Mu-Cheng as she smiled sadly. Then she turned and bowed deeply to everyone in the hall as she said apologetically, "I'm very sorry, everyone. She is right. Mufan Real Estate is a small company with only a handful of employees and doesn't have branch offices across the nation. We are only a new local startup. We lied to you."
What?
"It's true!"
"Heavens!"
"So they are an unknown company!"
"To think that I treated her as my model and Yunzhou's goddess. After all that, she is merely a vain liar?"
"She looks pretty on the outside, but is a despicable animal inside!"
"It's a waste of her good looks. How could her heart be so vile?"
"And she's married to a useless husband too?”
"How dare a woman who is married to a mere country bumpkin swindle us?"
"Who gave her the gall?"
After listening to Qiu Mu-Cheng's admission, the crowd naturally exploded.
Everyone felt furious in their hearts about being deceived.
No one expected that the stunning female CEO they viewed as their goddess was a vain liar and the wife of a useless man!
Qiu Mu-Cheng's brilliant image instantly collapsed.
Everyone was outraged by Qiu Mu-Cheng and took it out on her verbally by saying nasty things about her.
Su Qian and Zhang Zheng-Fu were instantly terrified when they realized things had gotten out of hand. They pulled Qiu Mu-Cheng off the stage quickly.
They were worried that some of the people might take extreme actions in the heat of the moment.
