“Uncle, Auntie, won’t you say something?” Zhongyu Jiarui couldn’t contain her anxiety as she witnessed the scene unfold. “Wanwan is badly injured by Ye Leng’an, and yet you remain silent! Are you really going to stand by and watch her suffer like this?”

She couldn’t fathom what was going on with Wanwan’s parents. It was evident that Ye Leng’an had harmed Wanwan, a direct affront to the Ye family’s dignity. Why were they so pa.s.sive?

“Jiarui, please refrain from further remarks.” Ye Wanwan extended her hand, clasping Zhongyu Jiarui’s hand, and gently shook her head, her eyes pleading. “I’m truly fine. Let’s put an end to this matter here.”

Observing Wanwan’s demeanor, Zhongyu Jiarui found it perplexing. Having known Wanwan for quite some time, she understood her character well. Typically, Wanwan wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate, even for minor grievances. Yet now, despite being the victim, she seemed intent on pacifying the situation.

Something didn’t add up. Moreover, Uncle and Aunt’s att.i.tude was equally baffling. Could it be because…

“Uncle, Auntie, Wanwan, could it be that you’re inclined to settle this because Ye Leng’an has the backing of the Huangfu family?” Zhongyu Jiarui suddenly appeared enlightened and then quickly spoke up. “You can’t do this. Ye Leng’an’s audacity knows no bounds. If she can harm Wanwan now, won’t there be a next time? Are you going to let this slide every time?”

As she voiced her concerns, her expression reflected genuine distress, as if she couldn’t comprehend their actions at all.

In her view, while the Huangfu family held considerable power, the Ye family was not to be trifled with, especially considering their status as the foremost alchemical family in the Hidden World. As Wanwan, the Ye family’s young lady, had been injured by Ye Leng’an, justice must be sought!

Not far away, Huangfu Ruiling remained silent, but his gaze towards Zhongyu Jiarui exuded a chilling intensity. It was as though he was prepared to step forward and resolve the situation at any moment.

Conversely, Ye Leng’an, the accused, displayed no signs of panic or anger. She remained eerily composed, even wearing a mocking smile. Rather than an a.s.sailant, she seemed more like a bystander enjoying the spectacle.

Amidst the onlookers, confusion reigned. Neither the injured Wanwan nor the accused Ye Leng’an appeared as expected.

Only Zhongyu Jiarui, resembling a befuddled clown, continued her frantic antics, leaving everyone uncertain of what happened.

“Jiarui, refrain from speaking out of turn.” Ye Wanwan’s grip tightened around Zhongyu Jiarui’s wrist, a hint of impatience flickering in her eyes. “Enough with the theatrics. Let’s end this here and now.”

Her orchestrated performance aimed to elicit sympathy from her parents and disillusionment towards Ye Leng’an. She wasn’t seeking escalation; the repercussions could prove dire.

The reason she involved Zhongyu Jiarui as a witness was due to her pliability. Yet Zhongyu Jiarui’s failure to grasp her cues puzzled her.

“Ah…” Zhongyu Jiarui winced as her wrist throbbed with pain. Looking up at Wanwan, confusion clouded her gaze.

Observing Zhongyu Jiarui’s folly, Ye Wanwan felt a surge of exasperation.

Murong Xingrui, supporting Wanwan, furrowed his brows at her antics. Aware of the twin sisters’ relations.h.i.+p, he understood Wanwan’s reluctance to pursue the matter. Yet, he sensed an underlying peculiarity.

The situation grew increasingly confused, defying comprehension.

Amidst the impa.s.se, Ye Leng’an, the alleged perpetrator, rose to her feet and leisurely approached Ye Wanwan.

Huangfu Ruiling trailed alongside her like a guardian angel. Though silent, his unwavering allegiance to Ye Leng’an was unmistakable.

Observing their approach, Zhongyu Jiarui’s guilt intensified inexplicably. Yet, she quickly composed herself, her confidence unwavering. Her earlier statements were grounded in truth, not fabrication

Ultimately, while advocating for Wanwan’s justice, she couldn’t ignore her past grievances with Ye Leng’an. Her prior theft of the spiritual herb, coupled with her lowly origins, fueled her animosity.

Consequently, she couldn’t remain silent when Ye Leng’an resorted to such despicable actions. Whether for herself or her friend Wanwan, she had to take a stand today.

Before long, Ye Leng’an stood before the Ye family, her presence unsettling Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. They couldn’t shake the nagging sense of guilt in her presence.

Turning to Zhongyu Jiarui, Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a smirk. “So, you claim to have witnessed me injuring Ye Wanwan firsthand, is that right?”

A flicker of guilt crossed Zhongyu Jiarui’s gaze, swiftly replaced by unwavering resolve. “Indeed, it was you who harmed Wanwan! Ye Leng’an, you’re truly ruthless, ambus.h.i.+ng Wanwan in the restroom. Regardless, you must be held accountable today.”

Though she hadn’t witnessed Ye Leng’an’s a.s.sault on Wanwan, the evidence pointed unequivocally to her. Her words weren’t unfounded.

“Accountable?” Ye Leng’an chuckled derisively. “You can’t even speak the truth, yet you dare spew such nonsense here. Have you lost your mind?”
