Chapter 83: Banging on her past
Huian dropped the glass and it broke into pieces spilling all the water.
“Ah! I’m so sorry. It slipped off.”
“It’s okay. We’ll call the maid to clean up.”
She was getting crazy. What letter is he talking about? Didn’t that guy Han Ru give me the letter?
She tried to smile, “Is that so? Another letter? W-what was written in it?”
He took the letter out from his pocket and gave it to her.
She nervously opened it.
A tip to emotional blackmail someone. Have a fake attack. It always works.
Fake attack…yeah it was all a lie, wasn’t it?
“I have told Xin to look into it. We think it can be one of our rivals.”
She tried hard to hide the fear and the urge to cry which was apparent on her face.
When did the man plant another letter? And investigate!? Jinhai is investigating this? No!
“I still think that…-“
“No, Huian. Last time you said it was a joke. But now I don’t think so. We have to be always careful. Now, I won’t ignore it until I find out who is behind all this.”
He took the letter back, kept safely in his bag as evidence and then went for a shower.
Over…everything is over. If Jinhai will meddle in this, then he won’t let it go. He will eventually find out everything.

“Son! Listen to what I just heard now!”, Liu Hai’s loud came booming.
Jinhai was in no mood.
“Stop shouting Hai.”, Liu Chunhua sighed.
“It is that serious. Liling told me that she will announce Jianyu and Nana’s engagement in their celebration banquet next month.”
Jinhai widened his eyes.
“And what is wrong with that?”, Liu Chunhua asked.
“Nana is for my Jing!”. She rolled her eyes.
“She is feeling all high and mighty that she has won against me. She dared to mock me. But it’s still not over. Hmph!”
“At this stage what can you do?”
He looked suggestively at Jinhai and smiled slyly, “What do you know? We cannot say anything till the last moment.”
Grandma Liu frowned. “Isn’t she doing it too soon? She is a nice girl but her background…we can find better girls for Jianyu.”
She never quite liked Chunhua precisely because of that. She did not outright hate her but the resentment was still there. And now one more…
He rolled his eyes. “You still care about that.”

The same night in Tang’s villa.
Madam Tang said, “Everything is ready, right?”
Suyin smirked, “Yes, mom. This is the last happy night she will have. Because tomorrow Nana will wake up to face hundreds of cameras broadcasting her shameful past. And after that, she will have no choice but to run away and hide her ugly face.”

The next day, a huge crowd gathered outside Natsukashi. First, there were reporters from various media companies banging on the door. Then all the neighbors came out of their houses to see what was the fuss all about. This was the first time they were watching such a spectacle. They had only ever seen news reporters on TV.
Nana and the twins were flabbergasted.
“Nee-chan. Who are these reporters?”
“Yeah, why are they shouting so much?”
Yukito asked, “Did they perhaps mistake our place for some other?”
Nana said, “I don’t know. We’ll find out only we open the door.”
The twins got a bad feeling.
Nana opened the door and instantly she was surrounded by camera flashes and mikes and barrage of questions.
“Miss Nana. What do you have to say about your relationship with Chen Jianyu?”, a reporter asked.
“Are you two dating?”
“Is he your boyfriend or another one of your targets?”
Nana was stupefied. Her eyes blinded with those flashes.
“I don’t understand. What target? And why did everyone suddenly come here?”
A female reporter sneered. She was bribed by Suyin to defame Nana.
“Don’t act so innocent Miss Nana. We are talking about your very first target. When you were only ten years old. Your adoptive father, Mr. Yu Tengfei.”
Nana froze. The twins shockingly looked at them. The event that took place years back now was suddenly being asked. How did they know what happened?
“Cat got your tongue, Miss Nana? We got an anonymous tip today. How you seduced your father to make him sleep with you and how your innocent mother had to bear your betrayal. Yu Tengfei, unable to bear this brunt, hanged himself.”
The neighbors gasped loudly. Especially Mrs. Fei. They started murmuring.
“Is this true?”
“Nana seduced her own father?”
“And he killed himself because of her?”
Mrs. Fei snickered. “See! I told you. She is not a simple girl. Don’t know with how many men she already had illegitimate relations.”
Another reporter asked, “Not only did he commit suicide, but your mother went into depression and became mentally unstable. She is being treated in City X hospital right now. We have verified the facts. Do you deny this Miss Nana?”
“Does the Chen family know that you are fooling them?”
“What do you have to say this Miss Nana?”
They kept asking insulting questions one after the other.
The twins shouted, “Shut up! You don’t know anything and yet you claim you have verified everything? Don’t you dare talk such shit about our sister!”
The female reporter snickered, “Truth always hurts kids. And I’m baffled to know that you both can still be with her after she destroyed your family.”
The twins so wanted to punch her face.
From a distance, Suyin was in a car watching the show.
She smirked. Just as expected. Nobody can save you now Nana.
