Chapter 973 Shen Rongyin Setting Up Chi Shuyan
Chi Shuyan interrupted her father and said to Shen Rongyin, "Miss Shen, it"s not my father who suspects you – it"s me!"
She narrowed her eyes at the woman in front of her. Shen Rongyin also stared at her. Although her eyes were red, there was no warmth when she looked at Chi Shuyan.
Chi Shuyan looked at her calmly and saw a trace of cold killing intent in the depths of her eyes. She sneered inwardly.
Shen Rongyin"s eyes flashed, and she immediately feigned grief and disappointment. "Yan Yan, I know you"ve never liked me or accepted me, but I never thought you would fabricate such a lie just to stop me from marrying your father! Yan Yan, do you know how hurtful these words are? You really hurt me!"
As Shen Rongyin spoke, her eyes reddened again. Mother Shen"s heart ached for her daughter. She now suspected that Chi Lingyan"s daughter was the one who had fabricated this rumor. As for Wei Xiao, he had probably been bewitched by Chi Lingyan"s daughter. The more Mother Shen looked at Chi Shuyan, the more disgusted she became. She directly spat out sarcastically, "This little girl has no manners."
Chi Shuyan was expressionless, but Chi Lingyan"s face was very unsightly at Mother Shen"s insult. Wei Xiao had long regarded Yan Yan as his own daughter, and also felt stifled by Mother Shen"s words.
They were about to speak, when Chi Shuyan airily spat out the words, "The Shen family sure has good upbringing." Mother Shen was rendered speechless. Chi Shuyan stared at the jade green and blood-red bracelet on Shen Rongyin"s wrist. Suddenly, her body flashed and she appeared in front of Shen Rongyin in a few steps. She grabbed Shen Rongyin"s wrist and then circulated her spiritual power to shatter the bracelet. She didn"t expect the bracelet to be so hard. It only cracked a little before the other party suddenly struggled free.
Shen Rongyin cried out and staggered back a few steps before she fell to the floor. Her face was pale and she looked as pitiful as could be as she wept. "Yan Yan, why did you push me? Do you hate me that much?"
Chi Shuyan stared expressionlessly at the pitiful woman crying on the ground in front of her with some disappointment in her eyes, while everyone on the side practically exploded at this scene.
Mother Shen and Fang Qingyang, in particular, were eager to protect their daughter.
Fang Qingyang immediately helped Shen Rongyin up and blocked Chi Shuyan as if he was afraid that she would attack Shen Rongyin again.
His tone was unpleasant as he said to Chi Lingyan, "Chi Lingyan, is this how you teach your daughter?"
At that moment, Mother Shen saw with her own eyes how Chi Lingyan"s daughter had actually pushed Rongyin in front of everyone. How much had her daughter suffered because of this little girl? Fortunately, she hadn"t let her daughter marry into the Chi family yet, or Rongyin would have suffered even more.
Mother Shen flew into a rage on the spot and also pointed at Chi Shuyan as she complained to Commander Lu, "Commander Lu, look at this girl. She even dared to attack Rongyin in front of all of us. Is there anything she wouldn"t dare do in the future? I knew she was just making things up. Isn"t it because she"s afraid that Chi Lingyan, that rascal, will marry Rongyin and become her stepmother? I"ll also say now that whoever my daughter marries in the future, she will never marry Chi Lingyan."
A dark shadow flashed in Shen Rongyin"s eyes and her face turned even paler. She cried out, "Mom!"
Mother Shen was unmoved, but Fang Qingyang was delighted.
Chi Shuyan didn"t have much of an expression after being lectured by Mother Shen. On the contrary, she was very satisfied with the other party"s refusal to let Shen Rongyin marry her father. As for what the others thought of her "pus.h.i.+ng" Shen Rongyin, she didn"t care.
As for Fang Qingyang, Chi Shuyan took a few more glances at him and sneered inwardly when she saw how "protective" he was.
Who knew whether or not Commander Lu completely believed that this was a rumor created by Chi Shuyan, but he still tried to smooth things over. Commissar Shen and Shen Rongsheng didn"t have good expressions on their faces when they looked at the Chi father and daughter, and they coldly expressed that they weren"t welcome.
Chi Shuyan didn"t care if anyone else believed her or not. It was fine as long as the people she cared about were fine. She couldn"t be bothered to linger in the Shen residence and let her father be scolded.
She left with Uncle Wei and her father.
After they left the Shen residence, Wei Xiao and Chi Lingyan couldn"t help but ask, "Yan Yan, what on earth just happened?"
Whether it was Chi Lingyan or Wei Xiao, neither of them believed that Yan Yan would push Shen Rongyin in public. They felt that Yan Yan wasn"t that stupid.
Chi Shuyan sighed unhurriedly and said, "Dad, Uncle Chi, all the abnormalities about that woman lies in that bracelet. I wanted to destroy that bracelet and expose Shen Rongyin, but unfortunately, she"s quick and cunning. Forget it, I"ll find another chance next time!"
Wei Xiao firmly believed in Yan Yan"s words. Even if Chi Lingyan didn"t know the whole truth, he still believed that his daughter wasn"t someone who would act willfully.
"Yan Yan, I"m sorry. Uncle Wei was too rash today!" Wei Xiao"s face was a bit unsightly. If he had known, he wouldn"t have discussed it with Commander Lu. He would have taken someone to the Shen residence to dig out the flowerbed first.
In fact, it wasn"t that he didn"t understand Commander Lu"s actions. After all, they had no evidence to enter the Shen residence. He also understood that Old Lu had wanted to give Commissar Shen some face by explaining it to him first.
Because of Shen Rongyin, Wei Xiao had actually wanted to divulge some information to the Shen family. After all, they had been colleagues for so many years, and he was afraid that Commissar Shen"s family would be harmed. Unfortunately, Mother Shen had been around today, and she overheard him.
Wei Xiao had thought that even if Commissar Shen didn"t believe him, he wouldn"t make things too ugly. He could also guarantee that the other party would have agreed to dig up the flowerbed. Unfortunately, he had overlooked an unreasonable Mother Shen, followed by Fang Qingyang, who had always been in love with Shen Rongyin.
Thinking of how all his efforts today had been in vain and how they had been exposed, Wei Xiao almost vomited blood. He suddenly thought of something and his face turned ugly. "Yan Yan, have we been exposed? That woman surnamed Shen…"
Chi Shuyan said, "Uncle Wei, it"s fine!" If the woman were to target anyone, it would be her. As for the flowerbed, there were too many bones in there; the other party wouldn"t be able to hide the evidence so quickly. She deliberated for a while before she said, "I"ll call Zhenbai later. I might need his help digging up the flowerbed in the Shen residence!"
She paused. Without waiting for Wei Xiao to speak, Chi Shuyan said, "Uncle Wei, I think that Shen woman is too cunning. Even if we dig up the flowerbed, she probably won"t admit she was behind it!"
