Yan Siming's words were like a bomb that blew up the ground. Even Mother Xiao and Father Xiao were shocked. This was the man who helped their daughter in City Z?

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao blocked Xiao Lingyu behind them. Their bruised faces were full of vigilance.

The people, who were not dumb, could tell that this was the man whom Chen Dahua and Lan Erying said had kept Xiao Lingyu as his mistress. The man had the power and influence to cause Chen Ran's father-in-law's company to go bankrupt.

For a moment, everyone looked at Yan Siming with a strange gaze. There was curiosity, doubt, and surprise. At the same time, there was a faint sense of fear, nervousness, and embarrassment.

Chen Dahua was frightened by Yan Siming's imposing manner and took a few steps back. His eyes were filled with fear and unease. He stuttered, "You... What do you mean by that?"

Yan Siming smiled evilly. "Don't you understand simple words? Alright, I'll just say it directly." He looked at Chen Dahua with a disdainful look and said coldly, "I'm the man who you said had kept Xiao Lingyu as a mistress in City Z. I'm responsible for making Chen Ran's father-in-law's company disappear overnight. Do you get me now?"

Chen Dahua's eyes widened when he heard the man's admission. He said angrily and in disbelief, "Xiao Lingyu, so what Ran 'Er said is true. You've brought this adulterer with you! Xiao Lingyu, you're so vicious!"

"You are the ones who are vicious!" Yan Siming shouted sternly, "Xiao Lingyu is innocent. When Xiao Lingyu found out that your good son was having an affair with the boss's daughter, Xiao Lingyu and I met for the first time. We didn't know each other before that." Yan Siming's sharp gaze shot at Chen Ran. The corner of his mouth revealed a hint of playfulness as he said, "Chen Ran, thank you for introducing me to Xiao Lingyu! Xiao Lingyu knew what you were up to after you and Zhao Wenman plotted against her. In order to take revenge, she found me by the roadside. She asked me for a favor, and I agreed.

"I don't think I need to tell you what happened at Huiqing Company. I thought after such a big lesson, you'd have learned how to be a better human, but why do you insist on being evil? I was going to give you a chance to stand back on your feet again, but you have to ruin it. Why?" His words were for Chen Ran and also everyone else present. He proved Xiao Lingyu's innocence.

"You're talking nonsense!" Chen Dahua did not believe Yan Siming. The only truth Chen Dahua believed was Xiao Lingyu had betrayed Chen Ran and became someone's mistress and they harmed Chen Ran together. The main reason Chen Dahua's family was suffering was Xiao Lingyu.

Yan Siming curled his lips and said with a smile, "I have evidence to prove my words. You called me an adulterer. Do you have evidence?"

Chen Dahua roared angrily, "Evidence? What kind of evidence do you have? I don't care who came first or later. My Ran 'Er is such an outstanding man, so why can't he pick a better woman? Why does she have to stick to an old maid like Xiao Lingyu? But Xiao Lingyu, this vicious woman, decided to take revenge because Ran 'Er chose another woman? How will she find a husband when her heart is so dark?"

Xiao Lingyu was certain that Chen Ran was Chen Dahua's son because they were both equally despicable. Even now, he was trying to slander her name.

Xiao Lingyu argued, "Chen Dahua, you are twisting the truth, without distinguishing what's right or wrong. Yes, Chen Ran is free to find a better woman. I will not stop him. As long as he broke up with me properly, I won't even bother him after that. But that man, to preserve his own name, didn't want to break up with me. To endear himself to Zhao Wenman, he chose to ruin my reputation. For that, he chose to have me suffer the name of the betrayer. He sent someone to drug me and gifted me... to an old man."
