Chapter 515: Chapter 476, Disgusting People_1

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao arrived at Jiang Wanying’s room to find Chen Jiarou had already gotten there. Seeing the two, she immediately stood up with a smile, “Please have a seat, younger sisters!”

In the room, Jiang Wanying was still half-lying on the bed due to seasickness, while Chen Jiarou sat on a stool at the bedside.

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao glanced at the room’s furnishings and headed straight to the chairs by the window to take a seat.

Jiang Wanying expressed her apologies, “I’m sorry for not being a good host to the two younger sisters.”

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao both shook their heads with a smile.

After the maids brought in tea, Dong Yuanyao directly asked, “May I know what matters Jiang Miss and Chen Miss wished to discuss by calling us here?”

...

Chen Jiarou glanced at Jiang Wanying and then smilingly turned her gaze to Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, focusing particularly on Daohua, “Today we are returning to Ningmen Prefecture. Have the two younger sisters considered how to explain the events of these past few days to your elders at home?”

Daohua, feeling uncomfortable under Chen Jiarou’s gaze, said indifferently, “Naturally, we will tell the truth.”

Chen Jiarou’s expression faltered for a moment, then she smiled again, “We were kidnapped on the same day, and it must have caused quite a stir. Just in case, and I mean just in case, if someone were to know a thing or two and spread certain gossip, how would you younger sisters deal with that?”

Daohua let out a snort of derision, picked up her teacup, and stayed silent.

Dong Yuanyao also looked at Chen Jiarou with a half-smile, then glanced at the pale-faced Jiang Wanying on the bed, “What do Jiang Miss and Chen Miss think we should do?”

Chen Jiarou fell silent for a moment before raising her eyes to Daohua, “Your father is the highest official of Ningmen Prefecture, and tomorrow happens to be your grandmother’s birthday. Perhaps… perhaps you could find an opportunity to clarify the situation in person tomorrow?”

Daohua let out a cold laugh, “Chen Miss, haven’t you forgotten how and by whom this whole incident started? Why is it my responsibility to make clarifications?”

When it comes to matters of reputation, once it’s tainted, regardless of the truth, people will proverbially coin phrases and stir up a fuss.

This Chen Jiarou sure knew how to pass the buck and shirk responsibility.

Chen Jiarou’s breathing hitched, having learned of Yan Yiyi’s uncompromising nature once again, and her smile faded, “I just think it would be better for Yan Miss to explain, after all… from beginning to end, Jiang Miss, Dong Miss, and I have all been together, while only Yan Miss, you were missing for a few days. During those days, nobody knew what happened.”

Daohua’s expression turned completely cold, “Chen Miss, are you threatening me? If I don’t do as you say, are you prepared to reveal the matter of my disappearance?”

Chen Jiarou pursed her lips and stayed silent, which was akin to an admission.

Daohua snorted coldly, halting Dong Yuanyao who was about to speak on her behalf, and looked indifferently at Chen Jiarou, also sweeping a glance at Jiang Wanying. Clearly, this scheme was something the two had discussed together.

Is it just because they believe out of the four of us, my family has no background or power, and I am the easiest to suppress?

Daohua said coldly, “Chen Miss, Jiang Miss, the kidnappers intended to kidnap you both. Yuanxiao and I were merely implicated by association. Please remember this point.”

Upon hearing this, both Jiang Wanying and Chen Jiarou’s faces turned rather unsightly.

Daohua’s voice grew even colder, “Whoever started this should be the one to explain. If I lose my reputation, you both, who were kidnapped alongside me, won’t be able to keep yourselves unscathed either. Anyway, my family comes from a humble background. We have never had much concern for face or reputation, so even if my reputation is tarnished, it is not a matter of great consequence.”

At that, Jiang Wanying’s face turned ashen.
