CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: COMPENSATION OR APOLOGY

Chen Jinlan’s expression was a bit unnatural, but she still maintained her elder’s authority, "Is Jiang Jingming at home?"

"Why are you looking for my husband?" Sang Yu answered with a question.

"You don’t need to worry about that, just tell me if he’s here or not." Chen Jinlan said.

Sang Yu laughed, "Well, sorry, he’s not here."

Chen Jinlan: "Where is he?"

Sang Yu: "I don’t know, maybe the police station, you can check there."

Chen Jinlan’s face darkened.

If she could go directly to the police station, why would she waste time here?

Sang Yu obviously didn’t want to help them.

And Sang Yu had already guessed that Jiang Jingming, after listening to her, had arrested Song Jiajia and Lu Hao.

Although what they did didn’t constitute a major crime, they could still be kept inside for a few days.

"Xiao Yu?" An old voice called out.

Sang Yu looked up and saw a very unfamiliar person.

However, she recognized the girl beside the old man; she’d been with Song Jiajia before.

Sang Yu didn’t respond but looked at the old man strangely.

"Xiao Yu, it’s me, it’s grandma."

Grandma? Lu Hao’s grandma probably.

"Grandma? Didn’t you die a long time ago? How did you come back to life?" Sang Yu looked at Liu Fenglan in surprise.

Hearing this, Liu Fenglan’s expression immediately froze.

"Xiao Yu, I’m Haozi’s grandma. We’ve met before, remember?"

Sang Yu thought for a moment, then innocently said, "Oh~"

Just when Liu Fenglan thought Sang Yu remembered, she suddenly heard Sang Yu say, "Forgot."

The previously lifted smile froze instantly.

"It’s okay, you were young back then, it’s normal not to remember." Liu Fenglan said.

"So what are you here for?" Sang Yu asked.

"You know, we haven’t seen each other for many years. You almost became my granddaughter-in-law, but unfortunately... it’s my fault." Liu Fenglan’s old face was full of guilt.

It was genuinely emotional.

Onlookers around were somewhat curious.

Sang Yu remained calm and asked, "So what are you here for today? To compensate or to apologize?"

"What?" Liu Fenglan was stunned.

"Didn’t you say you’re sorry to me?"

Sang Yu’s words left Liu Fenglan speechless.

At this moment, Lu Ting stepped forward and said, "Sang Yu, how can you speak to elders like that?"

Sang Yu: "Whose elder?"

Lu Ting was momentarily speechless.

"You all are really strange, coming here without saying anything clear,

immediately pointing out my faults, but sorry, everyone is quite busy, I really don’t have time for idle chat with you."

Sang Yu said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

The onlookers whispered among themselves, and peculiar gazes fell on the three of them.

"If you have nothing to say, I’ll close the door now." Sang Yu said as she was about to close the door.

"Wait a minute!" Chen Jinlan shouted.

Sang Yu looked at her.

Chen Jinlan said, "You go and tell Jiang Jingming to release your cousin, how could they just arrest people like that?"

"Cousin got arrested? What did cousin do?" Sang Yu pretended to be confused and asked.

"What could she have done, it’s just that those police are arresting people randomly, ask Jiang Jingming to release her quickly."

Sang Yu crossed her arms, looked at Chen Jinlan, and said calmly but very firmly, "Auntie, even though you’re an elder, you can’t talk like this.

The police officers do things according to the rules, they protect us citizens.

If you say the police are arresting people randomly, aren’t you slandering them?"

"Yes, how can you speak like that?"

"Exactly, also asking Captain Jiang to release people, as if he’s someone who doesn’t do his job, isn’t this deliberately ruining Captain Jiang’s reputation?"

"That’s right, it’s too malicious."

"Yes, what if that cousin did something illegal and got caught?"

"Otherwise, what else could it be, I think that’s it."

The voices of the others chimed in.

Everyone around knew Jiang Jingming, although he was usually cold.

If any family needed help, he wouldn’t refuse.

So, although they wouldn’t show it openly, people actually liked Jiang Jingming.

Chen Jinlan listened to the critical voices aimed at her, her face looking very unpleasant.

"Auntie, uncle is at least the director of the factory, wouldn’t your words here tarnish his reputation? If others find out you’re speaking about the police like this, uncle might also be affected, right?"

This sentence struck a chord with Chen Jinlan,

and she immediately dared not speak anymore.

Liu Fenglan, seeing Chen Jinlan so useless, rolled her eyes, approached, and said, "Xiao Yu."

"Sorry, I don’t know you." Sang Yu’s voice turned noticeably colder.

"Sang Yu, how could you say that, you almost married my brother back then." Lu Ting said deliberately.

She thought she could corner Sang Yu with that, but unfortunately, Sang Yu wasn’t that easily cornered.

"So what, what are you trying to convey? Want people to think I’m not clear about your brother?" Sang Yu retaliated.

Lu Ting didn’t expect Sang Yu to voice the insinuation directly.

"Why aren’t you saying anything? Did I guess right?" Sang Yu coldly looked at Lu Ting.

Lu Ting mumbled, "I, I didn’t say that."

"Oh, that’s good, because if you were spreading rumors about me, I wouldn’t let you off easily." Sang Yu said with a cold laugh.

Looking at the three in front of her, "If there’s nothing else, you all should leave. I’m quite busy, I won’t keep you company."

With that, she directly closed the door.

Chen Jinlan and Liu Fenglan’s expressions couldn’t have been worse.

Especially for Chen Jinlan, who regretted letting her marry Jiang Jingming at the time, seeing how arrogant she is now.

"What now?" Liu Fenglan looked at Chen Jinlan, initially counting on her, now felt disappointed.

Chen Jinlan irritably said, "How do I know what to do?"

Then she left in large strides.

"Pah, not helpful at all."

With Chen Jinlan gone, they had no reason to stay.

Sang Yu went back just in time to take the fried meatballs out.

She packed them into two boxes, one for Aunt Pang, and the other for He Xiulan to take home.

Sang Yu ran into Aunt Pang, who was returning from grocery shopping, as soon as she stepped out.

"Aunt Pang, just in time, these are the meatballs I just fried, give them a try." Sang Yu said.

Even though they were in a box, Aunt Pang could smell the strong aroma.

"Mm, smells so good, just smelling it makes me salivate. In that case, I won’t be polite." Aunt Pang accepted the meatballs.

"No problem, if you like them, I’ll bring you more next time I make them."

"That sounds great, I’ll shamelessly accept then. Are you on your way to the hospital?" Looking at the things Sang Yu was carrying, she asked.

"Mm."

"Then I won’t hold you up." Aunt Pang said.

"Alright, goodbye Aunt Pang." Sang Yu waved at Aunt Pang.
