667 Back You up
It was Ji Yan’s calm attitude that made it more precious. Shen Hanxing could not help but kiss Ji Yan again. “Thank you, Mr. Ji.”
“It’s my honor to be of service to the Madam.” The corners of Ji Yan’s lips curled up slightly as he wrapped his arm around Shen Hanxing’s slender waist. Their public display of affection had almost led everyone’s thoughts astray, and Mrs. Lin’s questions seemed to be a little weak. Mrs. Lin looked at Shen Hanxing with a dark expression and asked again, “Mrs. Ji, you haven’t answered my question.”
“I’m very curious. In Mrs. Lu’s eyes, is Lu Nuannuan a mute?” Shen Hanxing’s gaze fell on Mrs. Lu and she asked playfully, “Mrs. Lu if you have the time to question me, why don’t you ask your daughter? Could it be that, in Mrs. Lu’s heart, my words are more credible than your daughter’s?” She was really curious about what Mrs. Lu wanted her to say. Could it be that she wanted her to cry bitterly, think that she would be ashamed after being asked a few questions, kneel on the ground to beg for mercy and apologize? She was the one who harmed Lu Nuannuan? But if that was not the case, what kind of answer did Mrs. Lu want? Would Mrs. Lu believe her if she said that she had nothing to do with it? If Mrs. Lu would not believe her no matter what she said, then why did she have to ask her? Could she not just ask Lu Nuannuan?
Mrs. Lu’s expression froze. She had a preconceived notion that Shen Hanxing was the one who had caused her daughter, Lu Nuannuan, to be in such a predicament. Her actions just now felt like she was looking for trouble instead of an interrogation.
“Hanxing, is it really you? I didn’t expect you to be such a person!” Lu Shaoyang’s face was filled with disbelief. He looked at Shen Hanxing with pain and disappointment. “My sister Lu Nuannuan is so innocent and cute, why are you treating her like this? Do you know how dangerous it is to push her into the sea? If you’re unhappy with me, you can come at me. Why do you have to make things difficult for Nuannuan?” Lu Shaoyang could not understand why the Shen Hanxing he liked had become like this. She was vain, selfish, and a bully. Even so, he could not help but feel his heart race whenever he saw Shen Hanxing. He could not tear his gaze away from her. It was his wedding today. If Shen Hanxing did not like him, why would she come and ruin his wedding? In Lu Shaoyang’s heart, he thought that Shen Hanxing had pushed Lu Nuannuan into the sea to ruin his wedding.
“Are you sick? Or are your ears not working?” Shen Hanxing frowned impatiently and said to Lu Shaoyang, “If you don’t believe what I said, why don’t you ask the person involved? I’ll say it one last time, you guys go and ask Lu Nuannuan!” Shen Hanxing crossed her arms and refused to answer.
Lu Shaoyang’s heart ached when he saw the disgust in Shen Hanxing’s eyes. He explained anxiously, “Hanxing, I didn’t mean it that way. Hanxing, listen to me!”
“Lu Shaoyang! Su Ling is pregnant. Please take care of her. There are so many people here.” Mrs. Lu saw that the situation was not good and quickly pulled Lu Shaoyang away, afraid that he would say something inappropriate in front of everyone. Mrs. Lu did not have any evidence to prove that Shen Hanxing was the one who had pushed Lu Nuannuan, so she could not force Shen Hanxing for more answers. She could only look at Lu Nuannuan, who had been silent with her head lowered, and said in a gentler voice, “Nuannuan, don’t be afraid. Tell mum what happened.”
“That’s right, Nuannuan. We’ll support you.” Su Ling’s eyes darkened. She was deeply in love with Lu Shaoyang, and her eyes were on him the whole time. How could she not see the infatuation and heartache in Lu Shaoyang’s eyes when he faced Shen Hanxing? Jealousy filled Su Ling’s heart. She was filled with hatred so she said to Lu Nuannuan schemingly, “Nuannuan, tell me, who slapped your face? How did you injure your arm? And how did he fall into the sea? Don’t worry, although our family isn’t some rich or powerful family, we’re not that easy to bully.” She said in a gentle voice, “I don’t believe that anyone can hide the truth in front of so many people. So, just tell me what happened. There’s no need to worry.”
Su Ling knew very well how much Lu Nuannuan hated Shen Hanxing. In Lu Nuannuan’s heart, Shen Hanxing was like a toad lusting after a swan’s meat. She had gone crazy trying to get into a rich family, which was why she kept pestering Lu Shaoyang.
