Chapter 4: Mr. Fu, Can You Give A Fair Opinion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yi Tian was stunned. Her daughter’s personality could not be considered to be assertive, but she was definitely not as unyielding as she was today.

When she reached out to protect her, she seemed to see a cub that she once protected suddenly grow up.

Jiang Yi stared at Jiang Si calmly, as if she had an army of a thousand men and horses behind her.

Although not all the people in this room did not know Jiang Yi, at least 80% of them did.

In the past, Jiang Yi did not dare to breathe loudly. In the face of her parents and elders’ questions, she remained silent. However, today, she rebutted in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

Jiang Si was shocked.

The old master was even more so.

Everyone in the room fell silent because of Jiang Yi’s words.

“Sisi, is what Yiyi said true?”

Yi Tian’s voice broke the silence in the living room.

Only then did Jiang Si recover from her shock and disbelief.

She thought about it. The old master was present. If she lied and was exposed, things would definitely get out of hand.

After some deliberation, Jiang Si said, “I was indeed there last night…”

“You were there, but you watched as those people tried to rape me.”

Jiang Yi seized the flaw in her words and started to retaliate, not giving Jiang Si a chance to continue.

Before Jiang Si could finish speaking, she was rebuked by Jiang Yi.

Jiang Si, who had always been superior to Jiang Yi, was a little stunned.

“Yiyi, Sisi isn’t that kind of person. There must have been too many people at that time, so she panicked.” Xu Yi was Jiang Si’s mother. As the daughter-in-law of the second son of the Jiang family, she had a very strong presence in the Jiang family. When she saw her daughter being suppressed by Jiang Yi, she couldn’t help but speak up.

Jiang Yi was still calm and composed. “I clearly didn’t say how many people there were. How did you know about the fact that there were many people?”

Jiang Yi’s words had blown things up. It was originally a small matter between the younger generation, but now it suddenly escalated to the elders.

Xu Yi’s face was filled with innocence.

Her fingertips curled up slightly as she stared at Jiang Yi with a vicious gaze.

“Yiyi, what do you mean? I don’t understand.”

In the past, as long as Xu Yi said this, even if Jiang Yi wanted to respond, she wouldn’t have the ability to do so.

However, she did not know that this Jiang Yi was not the original Jiang Yi.

She shook her head slowly. “I don’t know what Second Aunt means either.”

Jiang Yi felt that she was really pitiful. Other people would carry their memories with them when they were reborn, but when she was reborn, she was just a blank piece of paper. It was fine if she was a blank piece of paper, but she was reborn into such a family. Everyone was scheming and had a twisted heart.

“You keep saying that Sisi was there and didn’t care about you. Do you have any evidence?”

“Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? Do you think our Yiyi would joke about something like that?” Yi Tian stepped forward and shielded Jiang Yi behind her, glaring at her.

Xu Yi laughed disdainfully. “Sister-in-law is really protective of her child as usual.”

“Second Aunt, it’s a pity that you use your mouth to talk sh*t. As a mother, you make it sound like I’m doing something shameful just to protect your daughter. Why? Did everyone in our family grow up relying on you?”

Jiang Yi retorted without thinking.

Xu Yi was stunned.

The others were even more so.

The Jiang family was a very strict family. They were also a top-notch existence in the capital.

If the family didn’t have high standards, the Fu family wouldn’t have gotten engaged to them.

Fu Xiting, the young master of the capital, would not come looking for them either.

All of this was thanks to Master Jiang’s strictness.

Even if the Jiang family didn’t like each other, they wouldn’t make things too ugly in front of the old master. At most, they would say a few words.

At this moment, Jiang Yi had clearly crossed the line.

Everyone knew, but the person involved did not.

Until the Yixing clay teapot brushed past her ear.

Jiang Yi came back to her senses.

The old master was furious. “What dirty words are you saying? Is this what my Jiang family taught you?”

“Yiyi.” Yi Tian was very protective of her children.

“Take her to the ancestral hall and kneel.”

Jiang Yi was confused.

Kneeling in the Ancestral Hall?

It was already the 21st century, yet she still heard such words.

It was already 2010. The Qing Dynasty had been gone for almost a hundred years, but she could still hear such words.

Jiang Si’s smug gaze swept past Jiang Yi, and she was just short of clapping to express her goodwill.

Jiang Yi had yet to recover from her shock.

The old butler’s voice came in first. “Sir, Mr. Fu is here.”

Two cups had been smashed in a row in the house. It was a mess.

At this moment, Fu Xiting came.

Jiang Yi had a feeling that she was going to escape this calamity.

She would escape not because of her own ability, but because Fu Xiting had come.

The man who fought in the capital’s business world and socialized with the group of wealthy families.

The servant hurriedly came over to clean up the glass shards.

Yi Tian put her arm around Jiang Yi’s shoulder and walked to the side.

“In the future, there are some things you can’t say in front of Grandpa,” she advised Jiang Yi in a low voice.

Jiang Yi pursed her lips.

She wasn’t someone who was afraid of anyone. The only problem now was that she didn’t know who was a good person and who was a bad person in this room. She didn’t know what the cause of the matter was.

The feeling of being unable to display her true abilities made her feel aggrieved.

Jiang Yi’s heart was filled with anger. Her situation was uncertain like a fog, and she could not even see her own fingers. Yi Tian’s words made the fire brewing in her heart flare up.

She strode away from Yi Tian and was about to turn around.

She bumped into the person who had just entered behind her.

“Sir…” Guan Qing sounded a little worried.

Jiang Yi barely stood still, and she only managed to do so with the help of the man’s palm.

“Is Miss Jiang alright?”

Jiang Yi steadied herself and patted the hem of her skirt. In a tone that only the two of them could hear, she said coldly, “I was fine at first, but after meeting you, everything became troublesome.”

Something flashed across Fu Xiting’s eyes as he stared at Jiang Yi with a probing gaze.

“How is Miss Jiang’s health?”

Jiang Yi seemed to have thought of something. She stared at Fu Xiting and said, “Not good.”

Guan Qing was stunned.

He didn’t expect Jiang Yi to answer like this.

What happened to her usual normal modesty and politeness?

“Oh?” Fu Xiting raised his eyebrows. No one could tell what he was thinking.

“Tell me.”

“Yiyi.” The old master’s calm voice came with a hint of deterrence.

It seemed like he didn’t want Jiang Yi to say anything more in front of Fu Xiting. He looked like he wanted to keep his dirty laundry a secret.

As for Jiang Yi?

Knowing that she was in a difficult situation and that the Jiang family wanted to cozy up to Fu Xiting, how could she not take a gamble?

In such an unfamiliar environment, how miserable would it be for everyone to protect themselves?

Jiang Yi curled her lips and looked at Fu Xiting. She braced herself and said, “We were arguing about whether my sister was present when the incident happened yesterday. Mr. Fu, as one of the people present, can you be a fair judge?”
