Chapter 571: Offending Her

“Those are irons that have been hammered to their limit, how can the case be overturned?”

Shen Shixuan couldn’t help but size up Ye Shiqing, who stood timidly behind Shen Shichu, half hidden, placing her complete trust in the man before her.

It was a show of weakness.

Quite capable, indeed.

Even with her true face almost completely stripped bare, she still managed to feed Shen Shichu a love potion.

“Brother, it was you who said you would divorce Shiqing,” Shen Shixuan insisted on testing the waters.

Ye Shiqing was standing right there, yet they insulted her unabashedly.

Subconsciously, she wanted to retreat, to pull back her hand that the man was holding.

The very next instant, Shen Shichu tightened his grip on her hand.

He said gravely, “I grew up with Shiqing since we were children, I know what kind of person she is.

Moreover, she really hasn’t had the time for promiscuity.

Since it’s a misunderstanding, it’s better to clear it up early, there’s no need to be provoked by outsiders.”

Outsiders?

Who?

Shen Hai watched silently.

Previously, it was Shen Shichu who led the torment of Ye Shiqing, causing enough chaos at home that he didn’t want to stay there.

However, he never harshly blamed Ye Shiqing.

Putting everything else aside, just the Ye Family behind her and the 2% of Bo’s shares she held were still of value for use.

“Alright, now that you’re married, you should live your lives well.

Both of you went too far before, but it’s good Shiqing isn’t holding a grudge.

From now on, get along well.”

Jhiang Ling glared at Shen Hai but didn’t say anything; she had always gone along with the father and son.

Reluctantly, they brought Ye Shiqing inside.

Shen Hai, having been told by Shen Shichu about Ye Shiqing’s weak stomach, had specially instructed the kitchen to prepare a stomach-friendly breakfast.

…

Ye Family.

Ye Congde’s household and the Old Madam and the old master of the Ye Family lived together in the main house.

Early in the morning, Ye Xinyu was the last to come into the dining room, all covered up.

Chen Nian pulled her over for breakfast and suddenly noticed the slap mark on her face.

“Who hit you?”

Initially, Ye Xinyu didn’t utter a word, but after being questioned around the table for a while, she finally spoke about the previous night’s events.

She didn’t mention Lu Zhenzhen, just saying, “I don’t know what kind of people Jiaojiao associates with.

Worried she was being bullied at Minglun, I offered her money, but she accused me of insulting her and then…”

She stopped mid-sentence, seemingly unable to continue.

Tears began to well up in her eyes.

Chen Nian, angered, wanted to call Lin Shuyun and summon her to demand an explanation.

But she was stopped by Ye Xinyu.

“I think, the one who was with Jiaojiao last night, seemed to be Miss Lu.”

“Which Lu Family?” Ye Junliang finally looked at his granddaughter properly, “The Lu Family engaged to the Gao Family?

Lu Zhenzhen?

Did you offend her?”

Ye Xinyu’s eyebrows twitched, “I guess, Miss Lu doesn’t know Jiaojiao.

It must be a misunderstanding.”

Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, that was Lu Zhenzhen.

Having caught her attention, what good could the Ye Family expect?

“Did you just say that Miss Lu hit you for standing up for Jiaojiao?”

Ye Xinyu nodded, “It seems so.

It’s my fault for not explaining myself clearly.”

After contemplating for a moment, Ye Junliang said, “I have some acquaintance with the Lu Family’s old master.

Later on, go to the storeroom and pick out some gifts; I will take you to apologize to Miss Lu.”

Ye Xinyu’s heart eased.

What she wanted was an opportunity to meet Lu Zhenzhen.

As for Nan Jiaojiao, she didn’t believe Nan Jiaojiao really knew Lu Zhenzhen.

With Lu Zhenzhen’s famously fiery temper, she surmised the girl would be the type to hate wickedness.

As long as she could convince her that it was Nan Jiaojiao who deliberately played the victim, there would still be a chance to turn the tables in terms of impressions.

Feigning difficulty and changing expressions, she reluctantly agreed, “Alright, I’ll listen to Grandpa.”
