The Scandal

'Jin, we won't have a child anymore, is this our Karma for aborting our child?'

a woman covering her face crying but has the same voice as hers is heard from the video and due to the dimness of the room and how far was the camera from the two, she could not justify that it was not her on that video,

'Jin, I know this is unfair to you but we can get a surrogate mother, we can ask Yin for that!'

the video continues with Mei sitting beside the bed saying 'Jin it's fine with me, we are just testing if Yin is compatible with you and as a surrogate mother'

'and Yin don't worry I will pay you for this'

Mei can't believe what she is watching, that this scene happened it was impossible

'Dad this is not me in the video and I..'

before she was able to finish her sentence her dad slapped her 'Did you know that this is circulating all over the net and I had to stop all of it?!'

'No Dad, I'm telling you that's not me!' holding her swollen cheeks she still insists on what is the truth

'And you Jin, how are you gonna explain this video getting exposed and why is there such a video as this!' as expected of her father, he did not let Jin escape unscathed

'that video was...' As Jin was trying to come up with another explanation, Mrs. Xiao cut with another question

'So what you were saying is it true? you aborted our grandchild without telling us and now your reason for staying together last night was because of this?' She was pertaining to the video

Mei was shocked at what she watched, on the video it was as if she was a crazy selfish person only thinking of her image not being ruined, she was seen as an irresponsible person and unfeeling person who after aborting her baby and having bad consequences after what she has done and getting crazy enough to watch her fiance making love to another woman to test their sexual compatibility and even wanted to make use of the woman as a surrogate mother,

'Mei, I want you to tell me the truth!!' Mrs. Xiao insists on asking her daughter the truth

'No Mom, that video is a lie, I am not that kind of person, you know me Mom, and I am not that woman!' still insisting on her side, she did not back down and explained everything that happened last night

Jin was also asked about his side of the story,

Her parents are doubtful of the truth, knowing their daughter's personality, it seems that what she is saying is the truth but having the video as evidence for Jin's explanation, they can't seem to decide who is the one to believe

then suddenly one of the Xiao's bodyguards knock on the door, together with Yin, The Xiao's ask Yin the same questions to find out the truth but both Yin and Jin's story match and making any person who listens to them believe it

'What they are saying are lies!! I told you they were the ones who cheated on me and this is just their doing to ruin my reputation!!' Mei angrily defends herself as she feels that she can't validate her story without evidence, but she still believes that her parents will believe her knowing them

'Mei stop it already, I did everything you wanted me to do, and even though I can't stomach what you made me do yesterday, I still did it for you!! just for me not to lose you but you've been like this ever since we abort our baby, I know it's my fault but don't punish me anymore!' Jin tries to look as if he was the victim and justifies his acts that it was all because he loves Mei too much to the point he follows everything she wanted

adding more to it Yin also made a story of her own 'Mei, I treated you like my own sister, and I know you feel the same way too but I'm sorry, it was me who put a video recorder and post it on the internet, I just can't take what you did to me and how you treated me like I am just a disposable tool for you, I was not thinking right when I posted it on the net, I just wanted to video the events that happened last night to help you wake up and get you back to the former you but you have changed after you aborted your baby, I just want you to see for yourself that you're changing and reflect on it, I'm sorry!!'

a perfect lie as expected of the two was what Mei was thinking but she still did not back down and give them her words 'Don't make up stories, I haven't been pregnant and even had an abortion before if you still want to use that excuse, we can go to a hospital and let them check if what you're saying is true!!'

a perfect refute from Mei, she was able to hold herself and think how to get evidence to prove them wrong but her dad has a different solution in his mind

'I agree with you Mei but as of now the video is already leak to the public and even though I stopped it there were already people who have watched it and can make your reputation as the only heir of Xiao's down, we can give them a statement that everything was set up to bring down our company but we must show them that you and Jin doesn't have any problem and will proceed with your wedding'

being a business tycoon Mr. Xiao can't compromise the reputation they build up because of just a flimsy video scandal but like a wise man he knows no matter how small, it can still affect them badly

'No Dad, I won't marry him, he is just here to get our money as you've said, we won't push through with this wedding Dad!!' still insisting her disapproval of her dad's decision

'Mei, you wanted this, you insisted on Jin as your husband even after I had a fiance for you and now after what happened you're changing your decision?!' Mr. Xiao angrily reprimand Mei

'Jin get out now and prepare for your wedding' Mr. Xiao commands Jin and walks out of the room
