Chapter 510

However, while he was eating, he suddenly felt two gazes staring intently at him from across the table. So he put down his spoon and looked up indifferently at the opposite side, "Is there something so fascinating that you don’t even need to eat?"

"Ah?"

"No one is competing with you for food. You can look after you finish eating."

Ah?

Ah!!!

The woman who had been staring at him finally came to her senses. Instantly, her delicate little face turned red, and she buried her entire head into the bowl in front of her.

She was so embarrassed, what on earth was she doing?

She ate furiously, without looking at what was actually in her bowl, her expression so awkward she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Ou Mucen found it somewhat amusing, picked up his spoon again, and for some reason, this little interlude seemed to have lifted his spirits somewhat.

After eating a few bites of his spaghetti and sipping some porridge, he set the spoon down. Then, while wiping his lips, he sat there and asked, "What exactly happened with that fraud case you were involved in?"

"Huh?"

Ye Ning, who had been eating fiercely, was caught off guard by his question, "What did you say?"

Ou Mucen calmly looked at her, "I mean the case that got you imprisoned, what exactly happened?" noveldrama

He had finally asked the question. After much reflection and hesitation, he had decided to ask her.

After the question was asked, the girl who was eating stopped all her movements. She looked at him, panic and unpreparedness flooding her pretty eyes, as if she had never anticipated he would ask.

In fact, she hadn’t!

Even he hadn’t expected that he would ask her directly.

Sitting there for about a minute, she finally spoke, "It was all their doing."

"Who? Ou Yuze?"

"And... Mei Liping, and that woman named Yang Xueshan..." She slowly put down her spoon, her face turning pale.

Seeing her reaction, Ou Mucen somehow regretted bringing it up, especially when he saw the light in her eyes fade away, replaced by pain and hatred, he regretted it even more.

At that time, they told me they had found a piece of Original Jade Stone of very high quality, but Longfeng lacked the funds to buy it. So they had me switch the fake for the real. After I heard about it, I arranged a fake jade stone and deliberately bid the highest price at the auction to win the real one. Once the stone was in hand, I would replace it with the fake and then inform the auction house it was counterfeit. That’s the whole story of what happened."

She had started to speak, and by the end, her voice had even calmed.

Ou Mucen sat opposite her, and upon hearing this, he was momentarily stunned. Perhaps even he hadn’t expected her to be so unreserved, so candid.

So, that was the truth behind that case from years ago.

He picked up a glass of water from the table and took a sip from it, "So, you’re saying you went to prison because you took the fall for them?"

Take the fall?

Ye Ning let out a cold laugh and poured herself a glass of water, "There was no fall to take. They did this only to send me to that place."
