Chapter 879: No Enmity

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

If facing Ye Lengan, Master Zhongyu would have certainly retorted. However, the current adversary was Huangfu Ruiling, necessitating an abundance of caution.

Although Huangfu Ruiling was young, in the Hidden World, strength reigned supreme. Huangfu Ruilings strength surpa.s.sed his own, so when facing Huangfu Ruiling, he couldnt be as a.s.sertive as he was with Ye Lengan.

Nevertheless, as heads of prominent families, they were ostensibly equals. Yet, facing Huangfu Ruiling, he exhibited timidity, provoking his ire.

Turning his gaze towards the culprit, Zhongyu Jiarui, he shot a reproachful glance before demanding, Jiarui, explain. Whats the matter here?

Feeling her fathers accusing eyes, Zhongyu Jiarui couldnt help but feel a pang of bitterness. She knew her father blamed her.

Yet, considering she stood on the side of justice this time, having been injured because of it, she regained her composure. She recounted everything she witnessed in the restroom, claiming to have seen Ye Lengan injure Ye Wanwan with her own eyes.

Today, she vowed to tarnish Ye Lengans reputation, especially upon witnessing her own wrists unnatural position, fueling her hatred. Yet, her animosity was directed at Ye Lengan, not Huangfu Ruiling. In her view, it was Ye Lengans instigation that led to Huangfu Ruilings actions.

As Zhongyu Jiarui spoke, many glanced at Ye Lengan with suspicion. Who would have thought Ye Lengan would be so audacious, injuring someone at such an event? And to make matters worse, the victim was Ye Wanwan, the Ye familys young lady.

Though Master Zhongyus expression soured, he stepped forward to defend Zhongyu Jiarui. Master Huangfu, Miss Ye, my daughter merely spoke the truth as she saw it. I dont understand how that could offend you!

Though displeased with Zhongyu Jiaruis interference, they stood on the side of truth for now, sparing Zhongyu Jiarui.

The truth? Ye Lengan sneered. Master Zhongyu, you should inquire further. Did Zhongyu Jiarui truly witness me injuring Ye Wanwan?

Hearing this, Master Zhongyu furrowed his brow. Looking at Zhongyu Jiarui once more, he sensed her evasive gaze, causing him to falter.

Zhongyu Jiarui! His voice lowered, tinged with a warning. Tell the truth. Did you witness Ye Lengan injure Ye Wanwan?

Initially, Zhongyu Jiarui wanted to stick to her story. However, under her fathers stern gaze, she panicked. I didnt see Ye Lengan hurt Ye Wanwan, but they were alone in the restroom. If it wasnt Ye Lengan, then who else could it be?

Her abrupt change in stance raised suspicions among onlookers. Just moments ago, she confidently claimed to have seen it all, now she retracted. It cast doubt on the veracity of her words.

Ye Wanwan, standing weakly nearby, couldnt help but show displeasure. Zhongyu Jiarui had turned a favorable situation into a debacle. It seemed she truly erred this time, selecting such a foolish witness.

If shed known, she would have chosen someone unfamiliar.

Master Zhongyus anger mounted, especially since the fool before him was family.

Taking a deep breath, he turned to Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan. While my daughters words may be exaggerated, its a fact that Miss Ye harmed someone! At the very least, my daughter believed it was Miss Ye. My daughter and Ye Wanwan have always been friends. Its natural for her to be anxious seeing her friend hurt. Moreover, they have no enmity. She wouldnt intentionally frame Miss Ye, right?

He was displeased with Zhongyu Jiaruis meddling, but he also harbored no fondness for Ye Lengan.

If it werent for the fact that Ye Lengan was engaged to Huangfu Ruiling, he wouldnt even refer to a mere girl as Miss Ye.

How can you be sure theres no animosity between your daughter and me? Ye Lengan quirked a smile. Did your daughter not tell you about our conflict? It was quite significant.

Master Zhongyu felt utterly humiliated due to Zhongyu Jiaruis concealment.

Dont divert the topic. Zhongyu Jiaruis eyes darted around, and she almost jumped up in agitation. Ye Lengan, were discussing your injuring Wanwan. Bringing up other matters, are you evading responsibility?

Though not a direct answer, it was evident Zhongyu Jiarui and Ye Lengan had prior conflicts! Moreover, it appeared to be substantial!

If that were the case, it was unclear how much of her words were true.

Faced with the gaze of Master Zhongyu and the skeptical looks from the crowd, Zhongyu Jiaruis back was drenched in cold sweat, feeling as though her gown was about to become soaked.

Feeling fl.u.s.tered, she turned to Ye Wanwan with urgency. Wanwan, say something! Tell everyone it was Ye Lengan who injured you! You have to speak the truth.

Only Ye Wanwan could reveal the truth now. She was the victim, so she knew who harmed her.

Yet, no one could predict if Ye Wanwan would speak, as she seemed inclined to reconcile from the start.

I Ye Wanwan hesitated, unsure how to respond, feeling whatever she said would be wrong.
