Beloved One of the Prestigious Household-Chapter 415: The Surveillance Footage is Out!

Shen Shuwen was waiting for the surrounding guests to ask the question that would vindicate her. She wiped the tears from her face and lamented, "My Xinxin didn’t leave the main hall all night, she was well-behaved in there! Just now, Qin Niexun suddenly rushed in and took her away!"

With a heart full of pain, Shen Shuwen gently stroked her daughter’s head and continued, "Once we got outside, I found out it was Qin Sui’an and Shi Yiyin who were playing out there. For some reason, Shi Yiyin said my Xinxin pushed her into the pool, claiming that Xinxin was actually trying to push Qin Sui’an but got the wrong person!"

The guests exchanged glances, hesitant to speak. Involving a young lady from the Qin family, everyone knew how much the Qin and Ye families treasured their daughters. No one dared to say anything for fear of saying the wrong thing and facing dire consequences.

Shen Shuwen understood that these people were cowards, afraid of offending the Qin and Ye families. But she didn’t care about them; she only knew her daughter had been wronged and bullied!

Crying uncontrollably, she held her daughter tighter, "Xinxin, it’s all Mommy and Daddy’s fault for being useless and not strong enough to protect you from being bullied!"

This statement implicitly accused them of intentionally bullying her daughter. The guests’ expressions varied as silence enveloped the room, leaving only Shen Shuwen’s sorrowful cries.

At that moment, a servant rushed over, holding a laptop. The servant approached Bai Aiya, panting, and exclaimed, "Madam, the surveillance footage is out!"

Hearing this, Shao Xinxin suddenly looked up, bewildered at the sight of the laptop in the servant’s hands. Surveillance footage? Impossible! There couldn’t possibly be any cameras by the pool; it had to be fake!

Shao Xinxin lowered her head again, her heart racing. There couldn’t be any surveillance... they must be fabricating it! It had to be a lie!

She desperately reassured herself, forcing her mind to calm down. Shen Shuwen sensed her daughter trembling and quickly comforted her, "Xinxin, don’t be afraid. We’re here; they won’t dare bully or wrong you again!"

Ouyang Fu, who had been silently standing beside Ye Rongyuan, noticed Shao Xinxin’s obvious panic and sneered. He whispered to Ye Rongyuan, "She’s panicking; she definitely did it."

Ye Rongyuan glanced at Shao Xinxin, his expression darkening. Ouyang Fu continued to mutter, "How can a six-year-old child be so cunning? She doesn’t seem like a child at all."

This reminded him of a famous horror movie about an adult disguised as a child. Just imagining it sent shivers down his spine, and looking at Shao Xinxin only made him think she was an adult in disguise, though such a thing was impossible in reality. Terrifying, truly terrifying!

Bai Aiya first quietly asked the servant about the surveillance footage. After listening to the report, she looked surprised and then turned to the seemingly innocent Shao Xinxin.

Next, Bai Aiya approached Mr. Qin, Qin Haochen, and politely asked, "Mr. Qin, since everyone is here, shall I play the surveillance footage on the big screen?"

Qin Haochen nodded slightly, "Sure."

He completely trusted his little one and wouldn’t doubt what the Shi family’s young lady said. However, he needed to let everyone see clearly that his family was powerful and wouldn’t bully others, nor would they allow anyone to bully his little one.

After getting Mr. Qin’s consent, Bai Aiya asked Mrs. Shi, Meng Shujie, the same question. Meng Shujie naturally had no objections.

Finally, Bai Aiya instructed the servant to project the recently retrieved surveillance footage onto the big screen in the center of the banquet hall.

One minute later, the birthday party wallpaper on the screen was replaced by the surveillance footage. Everyone lifted their heads to gaze at the screen.

The dark curtain flickered, and the first thing that appeared was a top-down view, showing the swimming pool not far from the Bai family’s backyard, with lounge chairs beside it for resting.

Shao Xinxin’s pupils constricted suddenly, her blood seemingly freezing; she stared in shock. How could there be surveillance?

The camera had been installed outside Bai Aiya’s balcony, originally meant to prevent thieves from breaking in, but now it had come in handy.

Shao Xinxin tried to maintain her composure, already formulating explanations in her mind. She couldn’t panic!

From the camera’s angle, the distance from the pool was considerable; even if it caught something, it wouldn’t capture any sound! No sound meant she could still find a way to explain!

Just as she was thinking this, she clearly heard a conversation. "Ah, the soccer ball is rolling away!" It was Shi Yiyin’s voice.

Then, a soccer ball rolled towards the pool. "Little Ann, it’s dangerous near the pool; don’t come over. I’ll go get the ball!"

Not long after that, Shi Yiyin’s small figure began to appear on the surveillance footage, running after the ball and getting closer to the pool’s edge.

At that moment, a pink figure suddenly appeared in the lower left corner of the screen. The pink figure crouched down and cautiously ran to the lounge chair beside the pool, then squatted there.

A guest gasped and remarked, "The Shao family’s young lady is wearing a pink dress today!"

Even though the camera hadn’t captured the pink figure’s face, the guests knew it must be the Shao family’s daughter!

Hearing this, Shen Shuwen immediately glared in that direction, shouting, "What do you mean by that? Are there not others wearing pink dresses today?!"

The guest shrank back at her scolding but retorted, "There are indeed others in pink, but among the children, only your daughter is wearing pink!"

No other young lady brought by the guests matched the color or style of the Shao family’s young lady.

Fuming, Shen Shuwen felt like rushing over to tear that guest’s mouth apart. "Can’t you speak properly? What kind of person—"

Just as the footage was about to reach the crucial part, Meng Shujie turned to Shen Shuwen with a cold glare, "Shut up! Open your eyes and watch the footage carefully! Don’t let it be said that my Yiyin wronged your daughter!"

"You..." Shen Shuwen was rendered speechless and furious, but she had nothing to say.

She really needed to watch carefully and see if the person in the pink dress was her precious daughter. If it wasn’t, she would make the Qin and Shi families pay the price they deserved!
