The Villainous Sister-in-law Mistakenly Marked as the Heroine (Transmigration) - Chapter 19

Knock, knock, knock!

“Sweetheart, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

“No, Mom, I’m fine. I’ll get up now.”

After getting dressed, she stepped out of her room.

Lin Xinrou stood at the door, looking at her with concern. “If you don’t want to go to Rong Wanning’s wedding, you don’t have to. No one will blame you, sweetheart. Don’t force yourself.”

“I have to go. She dares to twist the truth. If I don’t show up, everyone will believe the lies she’s spun even more.”

“Alright then.”

Once they finished packing, mother and daughter left together.

In the car, she asked, “What about my mother? Isn’t she coming?”

“She went ahead already. Said she had some business to discuss with Rong Yihua. Talking business at a wedding honestly.”

Lin Qile lowered her gaze. Business, huh? Or was she just going to support her precious daughter?

If Ji Zhao was getting married, wouldn’t Ji Zhao’s mother be there too?

Wedding venue.

The moment Lin Qile appeared, all eyes turned toward her.

For one, Rong Wanning was a celebrity, so naturally, the guests included plenty of media personnel. Given that Lin Qile had been a hot topic on social media for a week, everyone was eager to squeeze some explosive revelations out of her.

After all, throughout this entire ordeal, Lin Qile had never publicly spoken about it.

Many reporters were itching to approach her.

Qi Song walked over. “Don’t cause trouble, understand? None of us can afford to lose face in this situation. Be mature about it.”

“I’m the victim here. Why do I always feel like you’re taking Ji Zhao and Rong Wanning’s side?”

She put on a wounded expression.

Qi Song was taken aback and about to explain when Lin Xinrou interjected sharply, “She’s right. If the Rong family wants to say something, fine but why are you scolding our daughter too?”

“Xinrou, I’m just worried she might act impulsively and ruin the wedding. We still have a lot of business dealings with the Rong family. We can’t afford to burn bridges.”

“How is she being impulsive? A’Song, you’re being too harsh on her! Come on, sweetheart, let’s go!”

Fuming, Lin Xinrou pulled her daughter away.

The moment she turned around, Lin Qile allowed herself a small smile. Perfect. If she couldn’t cure her mother’s love-blindness all at once, she’d chip away at her relationship with Qi Song bit by bit.

As the two walked through the crowd, whispers reached their ears.

[“So that’s Lin Qile? She looks so bright, hard to believe she’d wreck someone else’s relationship.”]

[“The couple was about to get married, and she still shows up. Could she still have feelings for Ji Zhao?”]

[“Feelings? More like she couldn’t get what she wanted. What a joke!”]

“Lin Qile!”

Rong Wanning stormed over, furious. “Who invited you here?”

Before Lin Qile could respond, Lin Xinrou cut in, “Rong Yihua invited us. Rong Wanning, even if you’re not a true Rong by blood, you were raised by them. Is this how you treat guests? Where are your manners?”

Rong Wanning stiffened awkwardly. “Aunt Lin…”

“Don’t call me ‘aunt.’ I don’t deserve it.”

Noticing the crowd’s attention, Lin Qile cleared her throat and spoke up. “Rong Wanning, I hope those slanderous rumors online weren’t your doing. After all, you’re everyone’s beloved ‘pure maiden.’ But after getting engaged to me, you suddenly fell for someone else, got pregnant, and forced me to call off the engagement. Honestly, I’ve already let it go especially since the Rong family compensated me handsomely.”

The moment those words left her mouth, the crowd erupted.

She fell for Ji Zhao after the engagement?

The engagement was called off because she was pregnant?!

Compensation from the Rong family?

These keywords were enough to get everyone’s imaginations running wild.

Rong Wanning’s face turned pale. “You! Lin Qile, don’t you dare ruin my wedding!”

“Not interested. We ended things long ago.”

“You’d better mean that!”

Noticing people around her taking photos, Rong Wanning quickly left.

“Sweetheart, are you okay?”

She smiled and shook her head. “Mom, I’m really fine. You don’t need to stay with me. I see many people at the venue want to talk to you, I’ve been holding you up. Please go ahead.”

“As long as you’re alright. I’ll go for a while then.”

“Okay.”

After Lin Xinrou left, she looked around, about to find a seat when someone blocked her path.

Seeing Rong Jing still gave her a headache.

Rong Jing narrowed her eyes. “Avoiding me? Not answering calls?”

“No, I was just giving you time to convince my family. How’s that going?”

She absolutely didn’t believe Rong Jing could make her mother agree to continue the arranged marriage with the Rong family!

“You’ll see. Now I want milk, go pour me some.”

“Can’t you—”

Meeting Rong Jing’s threatening gaze, she resigned herself and turned to get drinks.

Being bossed around before marriage, what would happen after actually tying the knot?!

After pouring milk for Rong Jing and orange juice for herself, the wedding march began playing as she returned.

The ceremony was starting.

Handing over the milk, she casually remarked, “Miss Rong, being so health-conscious today with milk?”

Rong Jing’s cheeks flushed slightly as she took a sip. “None of your business!”

When the couple at the altar finished exchanging vows, it was time for the ring bearers.

“I told you marrying me would benefit you. Here’s your first gift.”

“What?”

Putting down her glass, Rong Jing took her hand and led her toward the altar.

Lin Qile: ???

The newlyweds at the far end turned grim as they approached.

Standing before the couple, Rong Jing presented the ring box.

Rong Wanning and Ji Zhao forced stiff smiles. “Thank you, Auntie.”

“No need.”

Turning to the guests, Rong Jing dropped a bombshell: “Let me introduce everyone to my fiancée, Lin Qile.”

She tilted her head toward the petrified couple. “Wanning, Ji Zhao call her Auntie.”
