After the Fake Young Lady Stole Everything from Me, I Became the World's Sweetheart

Chapter 28: Chapter Twenty-Eight: Authenticity

Everyone stared at Yun Liu.

Yun Liu wished she could find a hole to hide in. The ladies behind her quickly took two steps away from her as if she had the plague.

Yun Zhang happened to arrive on the scene looking for Yun Liu, and he anxiously tried to explain, "Sorry, Mr. Mo, but I think this is a misunderstanding. We wanted to get another invitation card for my other sister."

So saying, he turned his head towards Yun Nan and sternly ordered, "Yun Nan! Quickly come and apologize to Mr. Mo! This all happened because of you!"

Mr. Mo could not help but frown when he heard this. Shi Nian's gaze darkened to a glower as he looked at Yun Zhang.

Yun Liu hurriedly said, "Yun Zhang, don't blame Yun Nan. She didn't mean it. It's all my fault." Yun Liu's eyes reddened, and her tears began to fall.

Yun Zhang hated seeing Yun Liu cry. He glared at Yun Nan and hissed, "Why do you keep acting out? Haven't you caused enough trouble at home? Don't you think the Yun family is humiliated enough?"

Fang Xi turned to block Yun Nan from his sight and reprimanded him, "Can't you be more reasonable? What does this have to do with Yun Nan?"

Seeing that Fang Xi had spoken up, Mr. Mo lightly commented, "Mister Yun, I presume? You don't seem to understand the situation here. Someone falsely used the Shi family's name and snuck into my garden party with a fake invite. I would like to ask, Miss Yun, since you are a member of the Yun family and have the Yun family's invitation, why do you wish to attend under the guise of the Shi family's name?"

That question destroyed all of Yun Liu's foreshadowing and insinuations today.

"Yun Liu actually attended under the guise of Shi Nian's name? But—but she's his fiancée, isn't she?"

"She lied! Shi Nian already said he is married, but he didn't say that Yun Liu is his wife. Otherwise, why didn't he state it directly when they were face-to-face?"

"That's right! Yun Liu tricked us! How shameless!"

"Good heavens! How could she do such a thing? This can't be happening! I don't believe it!"

"What's there not to believe? It was the doorman who found her out!"

The unabashed chatter behind her made Yun Liu's heart tremble, but she immediately had an idea.

She pushed Yun Zhang to the side and took a step forward. She gave a small bow and raised her voice slightly, saying meekly, "Mr. Mo, the Yun family did have two invitations, but because my mother wanted my sister to participate in these types of events more often, she gave her one of them."

"Because my family and the Shi family have been on good terms for generations, my mother got someone to ask the Shi family for another invite. It appears that our men were incompetent. They didn't make things clear and deceived my mother. I'm really sorry for all the trouble this caused! Terribly, terribly sorry!"

Her speech was thoughtful and polite, neither servile nor overbearing, and well-reasoned. The Shi family was uninformed, and the Yun family was innocent. All the blame lay on their staff who didn't do their jobs properly.

Mr. Mo narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yun Liu. He then looked at Yun Nan.

"Little lady, what happened exactly?" He asked the question to Yun Nan and addressed her as 'little lady,' which was a very affectionate endearment from an elder to the younger generation.

Yun Nan had been silent throughout the incident, and only now did she slowly speak up. Fang Xi gave her an envelope, and she handed it to the doorman beside her.

She informed Mr. Mo, "I did receive an extra invitation card to your garden party by post. We checked with the courier, and they said it was sent confidentially, so they aren't free to disclose the other party's information."

Yun Nan shrugged. "I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't worry about it. I even wanted to take it to your butler today to find out who was so careless."

The doorman took out the invitation card and examined it. The Mo family's invitation card was specially made and could be distinguished through certain inspection methods.

"This is the Yun family's invitation card," the doorman whispered to Mr. Mo. Although he spoke very softly, the people close to him still heard him.

Yun Liu's well-thought-out excuse fell apart at speed; she got slapped in the face once more.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Mo spoke to Yun Liu again. His attitude was quite amiable as he told her, "Miss Yun, tell your father not to go to such trouble next time. Yun Nan doesn't even need an invitation to come to my place. As long as it's Yun Nan and Fang Xi, they can come here any time. My doors are open to them 24/7. We've been good friends for many years."

He looked around the crowd and said with a faint smile, "Let me introduce my two young friends to you. Yun Nan, a young genius who was admitted to university at the age of fourteen. She graduated from film school with a PhD in Film Directing. I've never seen such an intelligent, beautiful, and capable girl. I admire her very much!"

Mr. Mo glanced at Shi Nian's wedding ring and inwardly sighed, 'What a pity. They would've made an excellent couple.'

A peal of friendly laughter rang out from the crowd. Shi Nian's lips also curled into a slight smile as he lowered his eyes to avoid Mr. Mo's gaze.
