Su Zhixi paused a little when she heard that.

They had known each other for just a day, but she trusted his words.

She felt heat at the back of her eyes and realized she actually wanted to cry a little.

“M-hm…” she replied softly.

He Jingyao’s gaze softened. “Don’t worry and just drink. There’s nothing extra in the milk.”

Su Zhixi smiled sheepishly before she swallowed the milk.

At this time, people appeared on the footage that was playing on the screen.

Su Zhixi was agitated. “Here!”

She could tell at first glance that the person in the middle was herself. Even if half of the face was covered by hair, it was the same clothes and shoes that she wore yesterday.

And the two people holding her up and moving her forward… were Su Lianxi’s two cousins!

It IS her! And Lin Shuyue must be a part of this too!

Su Zhixi stood up agitatedly, her face red from anger!

After a while, the few figures left the view of the camera. It was a short three-second appearance, but the people’s faces were in clear view of the camera, and it would count as evidence!

Su Zhixi clenched her fists tightly.

“Young Master He, may I have this footage?” Su Zhixi turned to ask with an agitated and desperate expression.

He Jingyao looked at her seriously, then shook his head suddenly. “No.”

“Why?” Su Zhixi did not expect him to reject her request. She was disappointed.

“I know what you want to do with this footage, but your stepmother and your sister never appeared in it. They could say that they did not know anything about it. They could even say that you gave the men the opportunity because you had too much to drink,” He Jingyao said calmly. “You did look like you were drunk, didn’t you?”

Su Zhixi paused. She had no choice but to admit that he was right.

The footage did not prove anything. Instead, it would give Lin Shuyue and her daughter the chance to besmirch her.

At this thought, she sat back down, her spirits low.

Besides, her goal was not to get Lin Shuyue and her daughter punished. She wanted to expose Su Lianxi with this and let Ning Yichen see that the girl he loved was not the girl he thought she was.

So, she needed evidence.

But for now, the footage was not as convincing as she thought it would be. Su Zhixi felt a little defeated, but seeing Su Lianxi’s two cousins confirmed her guess that Su Lianxi and her mother were behind this.

He Jingyao did not want to see her sad. He patted her on the head.

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you.” He laughed softly. “So what if there’s no evidence? I can still make them regret bullying you.”

Su Zhixi shook her head. “It’s fine, Young Master He. This is my affair. I can’t trouble you.”

He Jingyao’s eyes darkened. “That’s fine. If you need help, you can come to me anytime.”

Su Zhixi nodded gratefully. “That, I’m sorry for troubling you… It’s getting late, I should leave soon.”

Go back?

He Jingyao’s gaze flashed a little.

It seemed that she could not wait to draw the line with him.
