Chapter 258: Inducement
Everyone’s anger eased upon hearing Jiang Jin’s words. They thought Ye Xin was truly blessed to have met such a sensible elder. Even if Ye Xin was abandoned, it seemed to them like Jiang Jin would be able to guide Mu Chen back onto the right path. After all, since Jiang Jin appeared, the two handsome young men did not dare to speak or move at all.
Jiang Jin continued to say, “Everyone’s heart could not help but relax. With such a sensible grandmother, this girl was truly blessed.
Even if this young man had been abandoned in the end, looking at him, he could still be educated by this old lady. Ever since this old lady appeared, the two handsome men did not dare to move and stood with their hands down.
Jiang Jin continued, “Ye Xin, you said earlier you’ve given yourself to Mu Chen?”
Ye Xin lowered her gaze and did not reply.
Upon seeing this, someone in the crowd immediately said, “That’s right, old lady! That’s what she said. She said your grandson abandoned her and married another woman. Your grandson is in the wrong!”
Jiang Jin smiled amiably at the person who had spoken up and said, “I agree.”
The crowd grew even more respectful of Jiang Jin.
Jiang Jin turned to Ye Xin again and gently asked, “Ye Xin, can you tell me about the day you gave yourself to Mu Chen?”
Ye Xin’s froze immediately.
Everyone was stunned by Jiang Jin’s forward question as well.
Jiang Jin looked at Ye Xin patiently, waiting for an answer.
Ye Xin buried her face in her arms and sobbed softly, turning a deaf ear to Jiang Jin’s question.
At this moment, someone in a crowd spoke up for Ye Xin again. “Old lady, how can a young girl reveal such private matters in front of so many people?”
Jiang Jin smiled. “What private matters? Miss Ye definitely remembers the day they spent together. After all, she loves my grandson so much; how can she forget the day they were together? I was lax. I didn’t expect my disappointing grandson would do such a thing to a young woman. Therefore, I want to find out the day they were together so in the future we can celebrate this day to commemorate their relationship…”
The crowd actually found Jiang Jin’s words reasonable. Many people nodded in agreement. Naturally, there were also those who disagreed. No matter what their opinions were, all of them began to urge Ye Xin to speak up.
“Little girl, just tell this old lady everything. She’ll seek justice for you…”
“That’s right. It’s such an important day so you can’t have forgotten it, right? Don’t tell me you made everything up?”
Ye Xin’s heart trembled. She raised her head and weakly said, “I… I really don’t remember it…”
The crowd began to feel something was amiss with these words.
Jiang Jin maintained the smile on her face before she said with a soft sigh, “Silly child, you’re so forgetful. Then, do you remember the last time you were together?”
Jiang Jin had long left a good impression on the crowd with her patience and gentleness.
Upon hearing these words, another person chimed in, “I’m sure you can remember the last time you were together. It’s fine even if it’s the day you broke up…”
“That’s right, that’s right. Women care about all these important dates the most. It’s impossible for them to forget these dates…”
“I agree. My girlfriend even remembers the number of days since we’ve been together! She remembers all our anniversaries…”
At this time, someone said with a sigh, “If the young woman doesn’t remember, then let the young man answer this question. Young man, when was the first time you got together? Or when was the last time you saw each other?”
A few people laughed suggestively.
“I’ve never been with her…” Mu Chen said icily, sending chills running up people’s spines. His expression was equally as frosty as he continued to say, “I swear in the name of my deceased mother that I’ve never been with this woman. I’ve never been in a relationship with her nor have I acted indecently with her. Therefore, it’s impossible for me to have abandoned her…”
Everyone fell silent immediately.
Ye Xin’s tears continued to fall like rain down her face. Her eyes spoke of her grievances, but she remained silent.
Jiang Jin looked at Ye Xin with a distressed expression as she said, “Child, did you hear that? Mu Chen said he has no relations with you at all.” Then, she directed her words to the crowd. “All of you are unaware that Mu Chen’s mother passed away a long time ago. For him to swear on his deceased mother’s name only shows that he’s serious about this matter…”
