Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Slander

Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe agreed, as they also didn't want Qiu Yiming to stay around. It was best if he could leave on his own accord. Seeing Qiu Yiming stand up and walk towards the stairs, Fang Mengyao's face instantly turned very ugly. She couldn't help but speak up to retain him, "Brother Yi Ming, can you please not leave?"

Once she said this, everyone's expression soured, including Qiu Yiming's. He wanted to know Fang Mengyao's secret but didn't want the Fang Family to misunderstand his closeness to her. He genuinely liked Fang Yuxin, and his approaching her was to avoid suspicion and also to inquire what exactly was going on with Bai Qianqian.

Fortunately, he had his back to the others, so Fang Mengyao couldn't see his expression. Qiu Yiming, holding back his anger, said, "Xiao Yao, I need to talk to your sister. I'm heading up first." Having said that, he quickly ascended the stairs.

The Fang Family was rather satisfied with his actions, but Fang Mengyao was so angry that her face turned from pale to flushed. Qu Qianhe pursed her lips, suppressing a smile, and then told Fang Yuyang, "Yu Yang, go get that document. It's time for Xiao Yao to learn about the things from the past, now that she has grown up."

Fang Yuyang answered and looked deeply at Fang Mengyao before standing up to go upstairs.

Seeing that things had developed to this point, with no room for maneuver, Fang Mengyao simply sat back down, watching Qu Qianhe with cold eyes. Instead of pretending, she made her disdain for Qu explicit as she sneered, "Go on, then. What do you want me to know?"

Fang Jintang had initially pitied her, considering she was his flesh and blood and had no one else in the world. But now, seeing her being so impolite to Qu Qianhe, his face darkened, and his gaze towards Fang Mengyao gradually turned cold. It was the first time Fang Mengyao had been looked at by Fang Jintang in such a way; it felt as if a heavy shackle had been put on her, oppressive and unbearable.

She fidgeted, seeking a more comfortable sitting position, subconsciously avoiding Fang Jintang's gaze, not daring to make eye contact. She sat there anxiously frowning, her lips tightly pressed into a straight line. No one spoke, and the sizeable living room was so quiet that the breathing of each person was audible. Having never experienced such a situation, Fang Mengyao's nerves started to fray, her breathing becoming more rapid, and her chest slightly heaving.

Finally, unable to bear the pressure any longer, she glared at Qu Qianhe and said impatiently, "Didn't you say you had something to tell me? Well, say it. Why have you stopped talking?" _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

Qu Qianhe, however, smiled slightly. She even leaned back a bit more, adopting a more comfortable position, and then calmly said, "No rush. Yu Yang will be down soon, and you'll understand everything once you see the document. Otherwise, no matter what I say, you probably won't believe me."

Fang Mengyao's frown grew deeper. She wanted to scream and cause a scene but Qu Qianhe's penetrating gaze fixed upon her made her heart inexplicably panic, and she found herself without the courage to voice the words she had intended to say.
