Chapter 1177: Pure Fabrication

Everyone in the hall looked at Huo Yao. They were happy to see a scandal unfold before their eyes and did not care if any of it was true.

Huo Yao looked at Song Qi and raised her hands to clap. “Well said.”

She smiled and glanced at Chen Ming sideways.

Chen Ming caught her signal. He took out his phone and stepped aside to make a call.

Song Qi and Song Zhi frowned. They did not understand what Huo Yao was trying to do this time.

No matter what Huo Yao was trying to do, they could not let Huo Yao bring up the subject of the will again.

Song Zhi instantly said, “Never mind. She is still young. Someone must have told her something. It is not her fault.”

Song Qi knew her priorities. She glanced at Song Zhi and nodded. “Well, I am not angry with her. I just don’t want her to get used to it and allow people to drive a wedge between us.”

Huo Yao smiled ambiguously at Song Zhi and Song Qi as they kept acting, but she said nothing.

Chen Ming came back after making the call. He nodded to Huo Yao before he stood beside her again.

Two men walked into the banquet hall.

One of them was dressed just like Chen Ming. The other man was in his fifties and dressed in casuals. There was something wrong with his gait and he was limping.

Song Qi and Song Zhi glanced at the people entering the hall. The moment they saw the man dressed in casuals, the two of them became worried.

It was the lawyer, Mr. Zhou.

Chen Ming’s subordinate nodded to Huo Yao and Chen Ming. He handed Chen Ming a document folder.

Song Qi and Song Zhi did not pay any attention to the folder. Instead, they kept looking at Mr. Zhou.

“Mr. Zhou, what are you doing here?” asked Song Qi quizzically. She squeezed her hands nervously as they hung from the sides of her body.

Mr. Zhou smiled sadly as he looked at Song Qi and Song Zhi. Before he was able to speak, Chen Ming had already opened the document folder and taken out its contents. Then, he walked up in front of Song Zhi and Song Qi and held the document in mid-air.

“Why don’t you take a good look at this before you claim that the audio clip was a pure fabrication?” Chen Ming used his other hand and pointed at the words ‘will’ written on the document.

Song Zhi and Song Qi looked at the will Chen Ming was holding in utter disbelief. For a long time, no one took it from Chen Ming.

Mr. Zhou’s appearance at the banquet was completely unexpected.

The first person to snap out of shock was Song Zhi. He kept telling himself that they had already retrieved the genuine will and destroyed it. They could not lose their cool just because Mr. Zhou showed up at the banquet.

Song Zhi took the will from Chen Ming. He flipped through the document and said coldly, “First you make a fake audio clip. Now, you show me a fake will.”

Song Qi finally composed herself. They had already taken the original will from Mr. Zhou after their grandfather passed away, so it was impossible for a second copy to exist.

“Why don’t you ask Mr. Zhou whether this is fake then?” Chen Ming already knew Song Zhi would question the authenticity of the will. He simply glanced at the lawyer sideways as he spoke.

Mr. Zhou instinctively trembled when Chen Ming looked at him. He quickly said, “Young Master Song, this will is authentic. It is the very same copy your grandfather left after he died.”

The moment Song Zhi heard what Mr. Zhou said, he looked at the lawyer sinisterly. “Mr. Zhou, how can you prove it? I suggest you watch what you say.”
