Chapter 841: Don’t Meddle In Each Other’s Business
Su Wan raised her head indifferently and looked around.
“Where is the country b.u.mpkins? Eh, all I see is a barking dog.”
Su Wan had never liked to stir up trouble, but it did not mean that she was a pushover who could be easily controlled.
After all, respect was always mutual.
If people respected me, I would respect them. As for people like Diya who came with ill intentions, Su Wan would not be polite.
Su Wan’s calm words swept past her ears. When Diya heard that, her beautiful face immediately flushed red!
Was she referring to her as a dog?!
This shameless and uncultured commoner actually dared to say that about her!
Diya’s hands were tightly clenched together. At this moment, her beautiful face was filled with resentment and anger.
“Su Wan, you–”
As she spoke, Diya jumped down from her horse. She raised her hand aggressively as if she wanted to slap Su Wan’s face directly.
However, just as Diya raised her hand, she suddenly felt that her wrist was stopped by someone.
Diya was stunned. She suddenly raised her head and a handsome face jumped into her sight.
It was Jiang Xuecheng.
Why did the emperor protect such an embarra.s.sing woman!
“Your Highness, how could you do this to me? You’re hurting me!”
Diya couldn’t help but think of what happened at the banquet yesterday. Tears welled up in her amber eyes as she complained to Jiang Xuecheng.
Diya was good-looking, but she was usually too arrogant. People didn’t like her.
At this moment, she looked like a pear blossom in the rain, as if she was about to cry. She was rather delicate and moving. If other men saw her, they would definitely feel sorry for her.
However, Jiang Xuecheng was a man with a “heart of stone”. He accurately pressed on Diya’s thumb, and his face was as cold as a layer of thin frost.
His voice was incomparably mocking.
“Diya, didn’t you make enough noise at the banquet yesterday?! You still came today!”
When Diya heard these words, she looked at Jiang Xuecheng in disbelief. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling.
“Your Highness, you actually said that I caused trouble at the banquet yesterday? I was the one who lost the most face yesterday, right? What about the one who you personally proposed to? Aren’t you arrogantly trying to show her off in front of me?!”
As she spoke, Diya’s eyes turned red. Bean-sized tears swirled in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
At the end of her speech, Diya seemed to be sobbing uncontrollably. Her head also drooped down, showing an extremely weak and pitiful arc to Jiang Xuecheng.
After returning to the family yesterday, when she heard that the Emperor had broken off the engagement, her father was naturally incomparably furious. Meanwhile, her mother had talked to Diya for a long time.
Men liked delicate and pitiful little white flowers. Her personality was too arrogant. She should have restrained herself a little and displayed a weak posture in front of the emperor.
Only then would she be able to arouse the desire of a man to protect her.
Now, Diya had started to put it into practice.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xuecheng did not fall for this trick at all.
The corner of Jiang Xuecheng’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and his expression was cold.
“Diya, someone will know that you do something unless you don’t do it. You know what you did yesterday, so why are you still pretending to be pitiful in front of me?!”
As Jiang Xuecheng said this, he suddenly let go of Diya’s hand. Right now, he only had eyes full of disgust for Diya.
When Diya heard what he said, she was stunned. Before she could think clearly, she stumbled and almost fell because of his sudden release.
Fortunately, Fiennes was behind Diya and quickly held his sister.
Although Fiennes knew that Diya was arrogant, he even vaguely understood that Jiang Xuecheng was accusing her of secretly putting the ruby earring under the cus.h.i.+on.
However, in Fiennes’ opinion, Diya had suffered enough grievances yesterday. Breaking the marriage in public was a great humiliation to his proud sister!
No matter what, Fiennes would not watch others bully his sister like this.
“Your Highness, don’t you think that Diya’s grievances at the banquet yesterday were not enough? Do you still think that our Siswell family is easy to bully?”
Fiennes looked coldly at Jiang Xuecheng, his expression clearly unhappy.
Jiang Xuecheng met Fiennes’ gaze indifferently, the corners of his lips revealing a trace of ridicule.
“This is this and that is that. I’ve never thought of using my power to bully others. Fiennes, you’re protecting your sister without any principles. Do you dare to say that you don’t know that what happened to Madam Ye yesterday was all your sister’s doing?!”
Initially, he did not have a good impression of Fiennes because of his vague goodwill towards Su Wan. In addition to that troublemaker sister of Fiennes, his impression of Fiennes was even worse.
Madam Ye?!
Diya took a few deep breaths and her face immediately turned red!
How did the emperor know that she was the one who planned Madam Ye’s matter?
Diya was also confused. Anyone who was a little smarter would have guessed that it was Diya who was behind the incident.
Diya bit her lips tightly. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s face. Her delicate face was filled with grievance.
“Your Highness, I didn’t!”
Jiang Xuecheng gave Diya a cold glance. He directly threw out the crucial evidence and poked Diya’s vital point.
“You said you didn’t? But in the surveillance footage of the banquet, that pair of ruby earrings pa.s.sed through your hands! Do you still want to deny it?”
Hearing these words, Diya’s face instantly turned extremely pale.
His Highness actually thought of checking the surveillance footage!
Madam Ye loved her son as much as her life, wis.h.i.+ng that she could pamper young master Keller to the heavens. Young master Keller had three broken ribs because of Su Wan, and he was still lying in the hospital. Wasn’t it normal for Madam Ye and Su Wan to argue?!
Su Wan did not think about this at all. She looked around at Diya and Jiang Xuecheng in shock. Only then did she realize that she had been set up by someone!
Madam Ye and Su Wan had a grudge because of young master Keller. Su Wan thought that the other party had come to seek revenge on purpose!
However, Madam Ye had indeed come to seek revenge on Su Wan. It was just that someone had used her as a gun, which further intensified the conflict!
When Fiennes heard that there were surveillance cameras, he could not help but frown.
His younger sister was too dirty. If it were him, he would definitely not leave any traces behind.
“Then what does Your Highness want?”
Fiennes restrained his expression. His blue eyes looked towards Jiang Xuecheng. His handsome face was filled with gloom.
This man had ruined the marriage. It was equivalent to publicly slapping the face of the Siswell family. was this matter not enough as revenge?!
“I don’t want anything. I just want to remind Miss Diya not to put herself in the position of a victim at all times. In the future, we will not interfere in each other’s business. We will treat each other as strangers!”
“Wait!”
Diya called out to Jiang Xuecheng. She was gnas.h.i.+ng her teeth.
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng looked back at her.
“Your Highness hopes that I won’t pester the two of you. Fine! But I have a condition! Your Highness, do you dare to have a bet with me?!”
