Chapter 25: Chapter 25: In Front of So Many People, Do You Dare?
"Mom, Dad, you can take a look now and see for yourselves whether I really wrote this letter."
Hearing Shen Nian’s words, Father Lu and Mrs. Lu both turned their attention to the items she had just handed them.
Father Lu first examined the paper Shen Nian had just written on, then shifted his gaze to the original letter. His eyes darted back and forth between the two sheets several times before he finally looked up at Shen Nian, an indescribable expression on his face.
Mrs. Lu wasn’t as quick as her husband. After Father Lu finished, she also took the two papers and looked them over several times.
They were both literate. Even if they weren’t highly educated, they could still see the difference between the two sheets of paper.
"Well? Are they the same?"
Lu Xinyue couldn’t understand her parents’ reactions after they read the two papers. She hurried forward, took the sheets from Mrs. Lu, and started to examine them herself.
However, the moment she looked, her expression changed.
"How is this possible? This... how could this be?"
It was no wonder Lu Xinyue was shocked. After all, anyone with eyes could see that the handwriting on the two pages wasn’t the least bit similar. They clearly couldn’t have been written by the same person.
"Is it you? Did you pull some kind of trick?"
Lu Xinyue held the two papers in one hand and pointed at Shen Nian with the other, her face filled with disbelief.
"Pull a trick? What trick could I possibly pull? Xinyue, you’re about to start high school. Surely you can see what this implies, can’t you?"
"I..."
’That’s exactly why I can’t believe it! I was so sure before that Shen Nian had done something to wrong our family, but now... how did it turn out like this?’
Shen Nian didn’t press Lu Xinyue further, instead turning her gaze back to Father Lu and Mrs. Lu.
"Mom, Dad, do you believe me now?"
Father Lu sighed. "Xiao Nian, with evidence like this, how could we not believe that you didn’t write the letter!"
"Thank you for trusting me, Mom and Dad."
After hearing Father Lu’s words, a faint smile finally appeared on Shen Nian’s face. ’Thank goodness. At least my in-laws are reasonable people.’
"What... what are you all talking about? How could that letter not have been written by Shen Nian?"
Qin Xueling had been over there waiting to see Shen Nian get cast out by her in-laws, but she never expected to hear Father Lu say something like that.
"And why is it impossible? After all, I never wrote this letter in the first place, did I?"
Shen Nian said, looking at Qin Xueling. The moment Qin Xueling had adamantly produced the letter and claimed she’d written it to Yin Yang, Shen Nian knew it had to be Qin Xueling’s masterpiece of forgery, imitating her handwriting.
But Qin Xueling didn’t know that Shen Nian had memories from a whole past life. Over those many years of growth, her handwriting had already changed drastically.
Therefore, all she had to do was write a few words now to prove the letter wasn’t hers.
"You... Impossible! This is impossible!"
Qin Xueling also saw the completely different handwriting on the two papers. Her face paled, and she shook her head in disbelief.
"Xueling, what’s going on? Didn’t you say that Xiao Nian wrote that letter to me?"
Yin Yang was also stunned by this turn of events. The only reason he had come today was because Qin Xueling told him that if he did, Shen Nian would divorce Lu Cheng and be with him.
As for the letter, Yin Yang had truly believed Shen Nian wrote it to him. How could he have known there was so much more to the story?
"It’s simple. Because Qin Xueling wrote this letter to you!"
"What!"
"What!"
Several cries of "What!" erupted at the same time—one from Yin Yang, and the others from the members of the Lu Family.
"No, it wasn’t me! You were the one who wrote the letter, not me!"
"If that’s the case, Qin Xueling, do you dare to rewrite the contents of this letter right here, in front of everyone?"
Shen Nian said, staring at Qin Xueling. She was certain that since Qin Xueling had spent so much effort learning her handwriting, her own natural handwriting had likely been affected.
Combined with the pressure of the situation, even if Qin Xueling dared to try, the handwriting she produced would inevitably have problems.
Besides, Shen Nian didn’t think Qin Xueling would dare to do it.
Because she had a guilty conscience!
Yin Yang was indeed despicable, but Shen Nian now understood that the most despicable person was clearly Qin Xueling.
Yin Yang had treated her that way not just because of his own nature, but largely due to Qin Xueling’s provocations. Whether it was making Yin Yang fall for Shen Nian or making Shen Nian fall for Yin Yang, it had all been part of Qin Xueling’s step-by-step scheming!
One had to admit, the woman’s calculating mind was impressive, but her intentions were truly vicious!
