Kneel down and apologize!
As Madam Liu and Liu Xinyi stepped into the hotel lobby, they immediately spotted Liu Yiyi sitting gracefully in front of the camera, poised and composed as she gave an interview.
They hadn’t expected that wretched woman to have the audacity to show herself in public again!
Liu Yiyi, who should have been embarrassed and disheveled after her true identity was exposed, instead radiated an inner confidence in her speech and manner.
Liu Xinyi’s expression darkened instantly. “How can she still have the nerve to appear in public?”
Her voice was filled with disbelief. “Mother, do you think she’s going to expose what we did?”
A chill flashed in Madam Liu’s eyes.
She whispered, “Don’t panic. That shameless woman wouldn’t dare. She’s been living off the Liu family’s money—she has no grounds to make claims.”
Unless Liu Yiyi was a fool, she wouldn’t boldly broadcast such matters.
Madam Liu’s lips curved into a smile. “On the contrary, this is our chance.”
They quietly concealed themselves among the crowd, eavesdropping on the live broadcast. Sure enough, Liu Yiyi was only denouncing the hotel’s misconduct, never once mentioning the Liu family.
Liu Xinyi was angered. “And with just this story, she managed to win so much sympathy and support from netizens? These people must be idiots!”
Madam Liu sneered coldly. “Hmph, ignore her. She’s digging her own grave.”
“Does she really think she’s still the Liu family’s eldest daughter? At such a critical moment, she dares to offend this hotel. I want to see how she’ll withstand the hotel’s retaliation without the Liu family to clean up her mess!”
Turning to Liu Xinyi, she said, “Xinyi, you know what to do, right? Liu Yiyi is standing at the edge of a cliff.”
“All it takes is a gentle push, and she’ll fall into an abyss from which she cannot return. Your identity is the perfect weapon to deal with her.”
Liu Xinyi understood immediately and nodded, her eyes gleaming with excitement. “Don’t worry, Mother. I will reveal her true colors to everyone!”
At that moment, Liu Yiyi seemed to sense something and glanced in their direction.
Madam Liu linked arms with Liu Xinyi and whispered, “The opportunity has come. Let’s go.”
Liu Xinyi took a deep breath, adjusted her clothes, and strode confidently toward the live broadcast.
Her voice was crisp and melodious, yet carried a hint of aggression. “Liu Yiyi, you claim you didn’t spend the Liu family’s money, so where exactly did your funds come from? You owe us an explanation!”
The three of them appeared simultaneously on screen, and the live chat exploded instantly.
“Oh my god! The real and fake heiresses are in the same frame!”
“Such explosive news right away? Grab your seats!”
“Come on, spill it! I want the juicy details!”
Liu Yiyi was momentarily stunned but quickly composed herself, offering a polite yet detached smile. “Long time no see.”

Liu Xinyi sneered. “Cut the act! I’m here today to get an explanation from you!”
Pointing at Liu Yiyi, her voice bristled with anger. “You’re no longer part of the Liu family, yet you’re still living in such a luxurious hotel. Tell me, where does your money come from?”
Liu Yiyi blinked in surprise, then countered, “Why should I explain where my money comes from to you?”
Liu Xinyi pressed on relentlessly. “Of course you have to! You’ve lost everything, yet you can still afford a five-star hotel. Did you secretly transfer Liu family assets? Or do you have some illicit income?”
The viewers were stunned by the sudden confrontation.
The chat flooded with comments:
“Holy crap, this is so dramatic! She’s a fake heiress but still using Liu family money?”
“No way! She just criticized the hotel, but it turns out she’s spending Liu family money?”
“Don’t jump to conclusions. Liu Yiyi hasn’t even spoken yet.”
“Exactly. What if this fake heiress made some illegal money on her own?”
Liu Yiyi took a deep breath, a faint and barely noticeable anger flickering in her eyes.
She was about to speak when Liu Xinyi interrupted.
“Don’t try to fool us!” Liu Xinyi shouted. “I’m telling you, the Liu family has frozen all your accounts. Every cent you spend now is stolen from the Liu family!”
Facing the camera, she wore a look of righteous indignation. “Dear viewers, open your eyes wide. This impostor has been deceiving the Liu family for eighteen years and now wants to keep fooling everyone!”
“Today, I’m exposing her true face. Watch how this thief stole my identity and shamelessly uses the Liu family’s money without admitting it!”
Liu Xinyi spoke with absolute certainty.
Suddenly, the chat sentiment shifted dramatically.
Liu Yiyi’s gaze swept over Madam Liu and Liu Xinyi, a cold smile playing in her heart.
Their purpose here was clear.
They wanted to publicly expose her to ruin her reputation.
They hated her with a passion.
It seemed Lawyer Wang hadn’t made things clear enough; they still thought she was spending the Liu family’s money.
Liu Yiyi spoke slowly, “I told you, why should I explain where my money comes from?”
“Even the police require evidence before acting. What right do you have to say I’m spending Liu family money just by your words?”
“Are you more powerful than the police?”

Liu Xinyi laughed sarcastically. “Hah, afraid to own up? You spent Liu family money for years, now you deny it? Still pretending here?”
Madam Liu joined in with a cold laugh. “You useless eldest daughter who never even does a lick of work—if you’re not spending Liu family money, where else could your money come from? I said, prove it if you can.”
Liu Yiyi’s lips curled into a smile. “I’ll show you my source of funds.”
“But if I prove I haven’t spent a single cent of the Liu family’s money, you must apologize to me publicly! Do you dare to bet on that?”
Madam Liu and Liu Xinyi exchanged a glance filled with contempt.
They were convinced Liu Yiyi was bluffing. How could she possibly have that much money?
Madam Liu arrogantly lifted her chin. “Fine. If you really can prove it, the entire Liu family will kneel and apologize to you!”
“Alright.” Liu Yiyi’s objective was achieved; she no longer kept them in suspense.
“Since Miss Liu is so eager to know,” she slowly stood up and looked directly into the camera.
“Then I will tell you…”
She pulled out a piece of paper from her bag, gently unfolded it, and held it up to the camera.
“This is a lottery winning certificate,” she said, her voice calm and chillingly steady. “Five million yuan. Enough for me to stay in this hotel, isn’t it?”
The entire room fell into stunned silence.
Madam Liu and Liu Xinyi’s faces turned ashen, their bodies trembling.
They stared at the certificate in disbelief, as if witnessing something impossible.
The chat exploded again:
“Holy crap! Is this for real? Just kicked out of the Liu family and turned around to win five million?”
“What an unbelievable stroke of luck! Someone, share some of that good fortune with me!”
“This twist is insane! The Liu mother and daughter were so confident just now—I almost believed them—then it turns out she’s spending her own lottery winnings?”
“Slap! That must have stung the mother and daughter’s faces!”
“This is so embarrassing—I can’t believe the Liu family dared to do this!”
Liu Yiyi smiled faintly. “I recall Madam Liu said that if I prove my innocence, the entire Liu family would kneel and apologize to me?”
