Chapter 320: Unexpected Humiliation
If it weren’t for Mu Xichen and that edited recording, the person who would be enduring shame and humiliation would be her.
At that time, would Lin Kerou sympathize with her?
The obvious answer was no.
Human weakness was to feel sympathy for the weak.
No one thought that there was something abhorrent about the people they pitied.
Li Beinian understood Mu Donglin, and she understood Lin Kerou even more.
If this really resulted in the end of her engagement, Mu Donglin and her would never be together to prove his innocence.
As a result, she decided to take a risk in exchange for Mu Donglin’s sympathy.
Although she faced the scorn of everyone at this moment and this unexpected humiliation.
After that, she would gain more than she lost today.
She was too clever and clearly evaluated the pros and cons.
Someone like that calculated every step.
Was she pitiful?
Not at all.
Fang Zhili quickly called someone over and a commotion ensued.
Lin Kerou almost cried till she fainted even though Li Meng was supporting her. However, Mu Donglin remained silent.
Soon, a woman in her forties or fifties arrived and she seemed to be acquainted with Fang Zhili.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lin Kerou was taken into a guest room that was prepared for her.
Everyone noticed that she was trembling all over.
She was very scared.
However, she did not look back.
Just before she left the crowd, Lin Kerou turned around to look at Li Beinian. “Nian Nian, when I come out and prove my innocence, all of the misunderstandings will be cleared. You can clear my name then, ok?”
Li Beinian raised her eyebrow and looked at her.
Lin Kerou took a deep breath but still wept uncontrollably. “I know you’re a celebrity and there was a small rumor before that I was the other woman. My friends all scolded me. Everyone also had deep misunderstandings about me after the birthday party. I’m just asking for my innocence to be proven. I beg you, Nian Nian. Please help me.”
Li Beinian looked at her weak and stubborn look and continued raising her eyebrow.
“Li Beinian, if it’s proven that there’s no such relationship between Kerou and Young Master Mu, can’t you at least clarify it?” Li Meng said, “Don’t be so harsh. Young Master Mu is already committed to you and no one can threaten your position. What good is it for you if Kerou’s reputation is ruined?”
At once, all eyes turned to Li Beinian.
Li Beinian looked very hurt. “If her reputation is ruined, is it my fault that she left with my fiancé? If there are deep misunderstandings, is it my fault that she has unclear relations with my fiancé? Everyone sees it clearly. What have I done?”
“Exactly. You keep saying that Nian Nian is the perpetrator. What are your evil intentions?”
“You’re Nian Nian’s cousin and Kerou is an outsider. You betrayer!”
“If her reputation is ruined, it’s her fault!”
...
“However, you’re right.” Li Beinian’s voice rose above the commotion. “There’s no advantage to be if her reputation is ruined. It won’t hurt me to clear her name.” She turned to look at Lin Kerou. “I will help you.”
Lin Kerou and Li Meng were trying to dig a hole for her to jump in.
However, if she made the wrong move, she might put herself in a disadvantaged position and never recover from it.
Seeing that she was not fooled, Lin Kerou clenched her fist and smiled forcefully. “Thank you.”
After that, she entered the room.
Li Beinian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced around the room.
The pair of dark black eyes met hers and he slightly nodded.
This was a display of approval.
For some reason, she felt a fluttering feeling in her heart.
She turned to look at the direction Lin Kerou left in and a thought surged into her mind.
There was no problem in clearing her name.
Except that she had to be the one bearing the glory after doing so.
