CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62 MO YINHE: A GLANCE OF TEN THOUSAND YEARS 1

Song Pianlan was so panicked she didn’t know how to defend herself, hatefully pointing at Si Mingjing. "It’s not like that, it was her! The bracelet was clearly on her wrist!"

This was the truth.

However, what everyone saw was Song Pianlan’s attempt to frame her.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat for Si Mingjing. She had been so close to being successfully framed by Song Pianlan.

Old Master Su was furious. "Every move Mingjing makes is under our watchful eyes. Can she perform magic or sleight of hand? In the span of just one minute, under the gaze of so many eyes, she managed to switch the bracelet and slip it into your sleeve? Do you think everyone here is a fool?"

Everyone felt that Song Pianlan was treating them like fools.

With a loud SMACK, Song Tengfei slapped Song Pianlan hard, enraged. "Do you want to doom the entire Song Family?"

Others might not know, but Song Tengfei knew crystal clear: that bracelet had been stolen by Song Pianlan years ago, and now she was framing Mingjing right in front of Old Madam Ye. Utterly foolish! Who didn’t know that Miss Bai was Mo Yinhe’s Inverse Scale? If Mo Yinhe were to investigate, not even ten Song Families could withstand his wrath.

Speak of the devil.

At that moment, a tall figure strode in. Ye Nianbai shouted excitedly, "Daddy!"

The little guy picked up the bracelet from the ground and scampered over to the tall man, asking curiously, "Daddy, is this Mommy’s bracelet?"

Mo Yinhe wore an iron-grey, fitted overcoat, a relaxed white high-neck cashmere sweater, and black dress pants that highlighted his noble and refined elegance. He walked in against the light, his presence commanding and lofty.

Seeing the bracelet his son held high, Mo Yinhe paused, a cold glint flickered in his deep eyes. "Where did it come from?"

Ye Nianbai pointed at Song Pianlan. "That bad woman stole it, and she wanted to pin it on my woman!"

"It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me..." Song Pianlan kept backing away, her face ashen.

Things weren’t supposed to turn out this way! She had intended to pin the blame on Si Mingjing to make Mo Yinhe loathe her, so why was she the one in trouble in the end?

Mo Yinhe moved towards Song Pianlan, his lofty gaze, like one looking down upon an ant that overestimated its own abilities, bore down on the terrified Song Pianlan.

"Mr. Mo, it wasn’t me, really, it wasn’t me! It was her, it was Si Mingjing! Her mother gave it to her!"

Mo Yinhe didn’t even deign to bother with Song Pianlan. Instead, he turned his head to instruct his aide, his voice steady yet commanding, "Call the A Country Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Have them give me an explanation."

"Yes, Your Excellency," the aide bowed.

This matter could be escalated or downplayed, but His Excellency clearly didn’t wish to let it slide. Someone from A Country had stolen the bracelet of the Atlantis Empire’s Crown Princess Consort. Song Pianlan was courting death.

Song Tengfei, too, was sweating bullets. "Mr. Mo, it’s a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding! Can we settle this privately? I’m willing to compensate, double the compensation!"

The aide rebuked sharply, "Who do you think you are to settle matters privately with His Excellency? If you want a private settlement, have your Ministry of Foreign Affairs go to our Atlantis Empire’s Embassy in the Imperial Capital of A Country to discuss it!"

"Daddy, this place is no fun at all! They all want to bully my woman. I don’t want to stay here anymore," Ye Nianbai declared.

Ye Nianbai strutted confidently over to Si Mingjing, took her hand, and said, "Jingjing, come with me. I still have homework to do."

Si Mingjing’s heart, however, was pounding. She noticed Mo Yinhe’s unfathomable gaze land on her, a hint of a smile on his lips, as if that one glance spanned a lifetime, making her heart pound.
