Su Yuntang couldn’t believe it, he turned to Su Yanyan and bellowed, “Are all the things Xing Yuyun said true? Did you really drug him? Did you hire someone to take a photo and send it home? Is all this real? Speak!”
Su Yanyan shook her head, doing nothing but crying.
She felt that she was done for.
This time, it’s genuinely over.
“How could this happen?” Su Yuntang was devastated, he quickly turned to Jiang Yi, “Jiang Yi, did you know everything about this too?”
Jiang Yi turned pale, “I… I…”
“Speak!”
“…” Jiang Yi couldn’t utter a word.
The poor victim trick was used.
The hurt was over.
But she didn’t expect Xing Yuyun to appear all of a sudden…
This time there was really no chance of turning things back around.
“Jiang Yi, you…”
“All of you shut up!” Su Xueqin interrupted them angrily, “What else is there to talk about? It has come to this, she admitted it herself, don’t you as parents feel ashamed? Huh!”
Su Yuntang clenched his jaw tightly, he glanced at everyone in the room, then finally, unwillingly, closed his mouth.
Jiang Yi was even more embarrassed to raise her head.
The ward regained its calm.
For a while, apart from Su Yanyan’s crying, everyone else fell into dead silence.
Until…
“Ashen.” Elder Xing suddenly spoke.
He held his cane, his old face, solemn and serious. “I would like to handle some of the Xing family’s personal matters now. Would you kindly ask these irrelevant people to leave?”
Irrelevant?
Ye Qitian was the first to object, “No! Why should I leave!”
He was clearly interested in the ongoing drama!
Mingzhu glared at her nephew and said, “It’s getting late. Since the elder wishes to handle the family’s private matters, as outsiders, we should not continue to interfere. However…”
She lightly raised her brow, making her already dazzling face more radiant, her cherry-red lipstick added a dominating chill to her existence, “Wanwan is Ashen’s wife, hence naturally part of the Huo family. Today’s circumstances were clearly a misunderstanding, and Wanwan was wronged some time ago, as her elder, I wish for the people involved to apologize to Wanwan, without making her suffer this humiliation for nothing. Otherwise, I can’t explain it to my in-laws after returning to the Huo family. Elder Xing, what do you say, isn’t that appropriate?”
The words were polite, but the undertone was obviously aggressive.
Everyone was slightly stunned, Su Wanwan was especially overwhelmed.
This aunt… she is defending her?
Wouldn’t this offend people?
She hurriedly turned to look at the Elder Xing, as expected, the old man’s face has turned extremely stiff.
No matter how you see it, Mingzhu is his junior. This kind of request, indeed, doesn’t give him any face in the crowd.
Who would have thought…
“Wanwan, today indeed we have done you wrong,” Elder Xing apologized awkwardly, “My old eyes are dim and I misunderstood you, I hope you don’t take it to heart.”
Su Wanwan:”…”
Even though Elder Xing wasn’t comfortable, but what could he do?
On this issue, the Xing family was indeed at fault, for they had wronged Su Wanwan without understanding the entire context.
Not to mention this Mingzhu is not only the second daughter-in-law of the Huo family, she is also the young lady of the notable Nancheng Ming family, backed by the Ming family and the two elders of the Huo family.
Despite the Xing family also being influential, but when compared to the huge families in NanCheng, to make a face-off is equivalent to pitting the egg against the stone.
Looking at the facts and the personal reasons…
This apology, even though he’s unwilling, even though he is wronged, he had to give them.
On his signal, Old Mother Xing had also to apologize awkwardly, “I, old lady, was also too anxious, I said some harsh words, sorry, Wanwan, consider me as being confused and said the wrong things.”
Su Wanwan was a little embarrassed.
Since her childhood, when had she seen the elderly couple of the Xing family being so kind to her?
She nodded, about to say something…
“Aren’t the Su family apologizing?” Nangong Ci suddenly spoke out, “Don’t get all loud when there’s a problem and then hide like a snail when things are resolved.”
The words were extremely impolite, Su Yuntang’s face turned as red as a pig’s liver.
Su Xueqin clenched his cane, his eyebrows furrowed.
Jang Yi and Su Yanyan bowed their heads in silence, embarrassed and awkward.
“Forget about it,” Su Wanwan suddenly said, “I still have class at two o’clock, no need to apologize, I’m leaving.”
Having said that, she turned around to leave.
Who knew that Huo Jingshen suddenly grabbed her arm.
He just happened to touch the part that was hit by the cane earlier…
Therefore…
“Hiss,” Su Wanwan couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
Huo Jingshen let go of her, “What’s wrong?”
Su Wanwan didn’t say anything.
“You didn’t get hurt, did you?” Nangong Ci said, his gaze hinting towards Old Master Xing.
Old Master Xing’s face turned red, he shouted with his neck held high, “What are you looking at me for? I didn’t lay hands on her!”
Nangong Ci rubbed his nose, “Old Master Xing, why are you so agitated? I didn’t say it was you.”
Old Master Xing:
This mischievous kid!
“It was my fault.” The ghostly voice of Su Xueqin echoed, “Wanwan, it was the misjudgement of your grandfather, your grandfather…”
“I’m going back to class.” Su Wanwan interrupted him sternly, she turned around and strode towards the exit.
Looking at her leaving without looking back, Su Xueqin felt a pang of panic, he shouted desperately, “Wanwan!”
Su Wanwan paused reflexively, her straight back was stiff.
However, she still took the step to leave..
