Mr Fang and his daughter looked more and more worried.
Their faces turned pale as they hung their heads and stood motionlessly with sweat dripping from their foreheads.
"Mr Fang, do you mind explaining what's going on? Hurry up and explain yourselves!" said Chen Nan. She swiftly realized what was going on in her heart.
Chen Nan glared at the both of them coldly as she asked.
"Miss Chen, we...we..." replied the restaurant owner as he shivered nonstop in fear. He felt so guilty that he couldn't even talk straight.
"Speak up. The Deputy Mayor is right here. If you confess, Fan might be magnanimous enough to let you off. But if you don't cooperate and get the cops involved, you will have to do jail time!" said Chen Nan. Her words left Mr Fang and his daughter terrified.
Considering the circumstance, Mr Fang and his daughter didn't dare withhold the truth and confessed everything to everyone.
"Miss Chen, Mr Ye, it's not our fault. He was the one who told us to do it. He paid us to put on an act and accuse Mr Ye of molest. I made a mistake because that wicked man tempted me. Miss Chen, Mr Ye, we are sorry. I beg you, can you let us off this once?" implored Mr Fang. They were terror-stricken and kept apologizing.
In the end, they pushed all the blame on Ye Jian.
Ye Jian's faced turned white. He pointed at Fang Yao-Yao and her father and shouted angrily, "Mr Fang, you...you assholes!"
Ye Jian didn't expect Mr Fang and his daughter to confess this quickly and even pushed all blame on him. In an instant, his face turned dark as he cursed them.
The patrons felt outraged when they heard the truth.
Oh my god! So he was accused wrongly."
"This guy is an animal!"
"How could he do this to his own cousin?"
"He's simply immoral!"
"He even acted all righteous. From the looks of it now, he's just scum."
"How can you have the cheek to dine here? Get lost!"
"That's right, get lost!"
"You are such a scum!"
"You're worse than an animal!"
After the truth came out, the tables abruptly turned and the angry mob who was scolding Ye Fan, turned to curse Ye Jian instead.
Public condemnation can be a fearful thing!
Ye Jian was on the verge of getting drowned by everyone's saliva. Jiang Yu-Lang and Jiang Yu-Qing found it embarrassing too. They instantly told him quietly, "Jian, we can't fight back when the odds are against us. Why don't we leave now? You have incurred public wrath."
"I'm not leaving. Why should I leave since I already paid for lunch? I'm simply not leaving!" said Ye Jian with deep resentment. He wanted Ye Fan to lose all reputation but ended up sabotaging himself instead.
Ye Jian felt furious and indignant.
If he left like a loser with his tails between his legs, he would become completely embarrassed.
"Jian, why are you doing this?"
