Song Yiren staggered backward a step, "No... What are you talking about? I don’t know anything." Song Yiren moved her gaze away sowhat flusteredly.
Yun Ya approached her with a smile, "Don’t know? Then how did Yiren ’sister’ know it was ? If I hadn’t shown up, I would have had to shoulder this bla for the rest of my life. Yiren ’sister,’ do you realize how much such rumors can hurt a girl?" She shook her head with disappointnt at the end of her words.
"Yiren ’sister,’ I never expected you to think so poorly of ."
"Ji Yunya, don’t spout nonsense. I was just guessing, I didn’t say it was really you, why are you in such a rush to pin the bla on ? I mistook you for soone else, isn’t it enough that I apologize?" Song Yiren’s heart, however, was filled with unease, where had things gone wrong? The one whose na was supposed to be tarnished was Ji Yunya; why then did she just appear before her?
"Huh... I’ve never seen an apology delivered so arrogantly, as if soone owed you sothing," Yan Ke snorted lightly.
His voice wasn’t low; everyone present heard it clearly, and their gazes towards Song Yiren shifted, wondering if it actually was her...
Song Yiren’s face suddenly turned very ugly.
Yun Ya smiled, "I know Yiren ’sister’ didn’t an it, I forgive you."
When she spoke these words, she was so gentle and magnanimous, yet with her back to everyone, only Song Yiren could see the cold gleam flickering in her eyes, filled with mockery and disdain, looking unabashedly at her.
Song Yiren suddenly pointed at her, "It’s you? This is all your doing, isn’t it, you malicious woman, Brother Yan, you can’t like her...." Song Yiren suddenly looked at Yan Song with expectation.
Yan Song’s thin lips curved slightly, as he walked over to stand beside Yun Ya. His tall figure cast a large shadow, enveloping the delicate silhouette completely, yet it sohow gave off an inexplicable sense of security.
He looked at Song Yiren coldly, silently declaring his position.
Zhuang Xiyue’s eyes flickered as she watched the two figures standing side by side, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Song Yiren shook her head in disbelief, "Brother Yan...."
At that mont, a young woman stood up and spoke righteously, "Miss Song, Miss Ji has been with us the whole ti and hasn’t been anywhere else. What grounds do you have to slander her like this? If we hadn’t co over, I’m afraid Miss Ji would have had to shoulder the bla for this shaless woman for the rest of her life, and you would be the main culprit."
Song Yiren shook her head, "No, it’s not that, I ...." She tried to speak in defense but found she didn’t know what to say.
"Second Miss Liu, it is our Yiren’s fault. She mistook soone in the dark and caused damage to Miss Ji’s reputation. I offer my deepest apologies here," Lady Song said, stepping forward and throwing a covert glance at Song Yiren, signaling her to shut up.
At the back of the crowd, Yun Shu’s gaze landed on the woman lying motionless on the chair, feeling strangely familiar.
Her brow twitched, a sudden unease settling in her heart.
Her eyes t Ji Yunya’s, and her frown deepened.
Just then, a sharp and aggressive female voice suddenly rang out: "What fault does Miss Song have? So people are playing the thief who shouts ’catch the thief.’" The sarcasm in her tone was all too obvious.
The speaker was Kang Jinse.
Just a mistress, yet she dared to sarcastically criticize Miss Ji so brazenly; such were the values of the Yun Family.
Kang Jinse didn’t yet realize that in the eyes of the onlookers, her image had plumted to negative figures.
Yun Shen frowned and turned to leave the place.
Yun Shu glared coldly at Kang Jinse; if the woman had kept silent, no one would have thought her mute, but she had to jump out and make a spectacle of herself.
Yun Ya smiled sadly, her expression eliciting particular pity: "Aunt Jiang, if Miss Song is not at fault, then the fault lies with . I shouldn’t have appeared at this ti, disrupting everyone’s free speculation. It’s all my fault...."
Suddenly, her gaze turned towards Yun Shen, "Dad, do you also think it’s my fault?"
It was only then that people realized, from the beginning of the incident, none of Ji Yunya’s family mbers had stood up to speak a word for her; even the mistress had jumped out to mock her, making the family seem...
Ah... with such a family, the poor girl is to be pitied indeed!
Yun Shen paused mid-step, turning back to give her a glance, the night deep and dark, Yun Ya couldn’t make out the look in his eyes, but she guessed it was probably a wish to strangle her.
Yun Ya smiled faintly, the smile strangely self-mocking. When Yan Song saw that smile, his heart suddenly clenched in pain, but at that mont, he didn’t realize that this pain was called heartache...
