CHAPTER 1101: CHAPTER 224: PERIL AT EVERY STEP, SUFFERING BY CHOICE

Are we acting? Let’s see who acts more convincingly.

Seeing Yun Ya’s sincere attitude, those gossiping ladies fell silent. In fact, thinking it over, Ji Yunya was clearly the victim. If it hadn’t been for Yan He slandering Ji Yunya, none of this would have happened. So all this is just Yan He asking for trouble.

Moreover, Ji Yunya somewhat impressed them, handling the situation head-on rather than running away, truly showing the essence of her character. Compare this with Yan He’s previous actions, and it’s a heartbreaking contrast.

Ah Ci clenched his fists, smiled, and said, "Miss Ji, you shouldn’t blame yourself. It was never your fault, just some people spreading rumors. You don’t know the impact of such gossip; it can turn white into black. I was just worried it might affect you. If any blame comes from Third Aunt, both my aunt and I will stand up for you to prove your innocence."

How generous, but I don’t need it.

Yun Ya smiled faintly, "Thank you, then."

Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, it was obvious she wasn’t afraid at all. Ah Ci secretly gritted her teeth, wondering how Yun Ya could remain so calm in such a situation. Wasn’t she afraid of Commander Shu’s anger or Zhuang Xiyue’s disdain?

This young girl’s thoughts were all over her face, which Yun Ya found rather amusing.

Yan Hua tugged at her, "Ah Ci, stop talking. The more you say, the worse it sounds. It wasn’t Yun Ya’s fault, but your words make it seem like it was."

At this moment, Lu Yuke hurried over, "How is it going?"

Meng Shujing stepped forward to meet her, "Mom, I’ve already asked Doctor Zheng to take a look. It shouldn’t be a serious issue."

Lu Yuke shot her a cold glance, "How could you let such a big thing happen at home? How am I supposed to explain this to Commander Shu?"

What does it have to do with her, Meng Shujing thought inwardly, but on the surface she said, "It’s my negligence, mother-in-law. I’ve already sent someone to inform Commander Shu, and he should be here soon."

Just when she was thinking this, Yan Xing ran in, panting, "Commander Shu is here." After speaking, he glared at Yun Ya before turning to run out again.

Lu Yuke immediately went out to greet him.

Yan Hua thought about Yan Xing’s look and thought something wasn’t right. That girl was about to stir up trouble again.

Walking to Yun Ya’s side, she looped her arm through hers and whispered, "Don’t worry."

Yun Ya smiled, "Let’s go and have a look."

As the two of them walked out of the room, they saw an elderly man in his fifties or sixties walking briskly towards them. The man was slightly plump, with graying temples, wearing a set of military uniform, with stern eyes wide open and a rigorous stride, he was a figure full of fierce and imposing presence.

"Elder Shu, this incident was our oversight, but don’t worry, I will give you an explanation. Miss Yan’s injury will be fully taken care of by the Yan Family..." Lu Yuke barely finished her sentence when she was immediately met with Shu Tiancheng’s stern glare, "You take responsibility? If Yan’er so much as loses a hair, what will your Yan Family do to take responsibility?"

Lu Yuke narrowed her eyes.

Yan Xing suddenly pointed at Ji Yunya in the crowd and shouted, "Grandpa Shu, it’s because of her that Sister Yan He got injured."

Yan Hua glared at Yan Xing, "Xingxing, what nonsense are you talking about?" Then she turned to Shu Tiancheng, "Elder Shu, please don’t listen to Xingxing’s nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with Yun Ya."

Shu Tiancheng’s sharp gaze swept over Yun Ya, and he said coldly, "So what you mean is, my niece brought this upon herself?"

Yan Hua was at a loss for words.

Shu Tiancheng let out a cold snort and pointed at Ji Yunya, "You, come out."

Yun Ya walked out with her head slightly bowed.

Shu Tiancheng squinted at her, noting her complete lack of panic despite the situation. There was a grace to her unlike ordinary women, so his tone softened a little, "What really happened?"

"What else could it be? It’s because of her that Sister Yan He got injured. You have no idea how terrible it was, blood all over her face, she will probably be scarred."

Meng Shujing gave Yan Xing a stern look, "Xingxing, come over here."

Yan Xing pouted, "I’m not wrong, though."

Yun Ya said calmly, "This matter indeed started because of me."

Shu Tiancheng coldly snorted, "At least you have the guts to admit it, that’s something."

At this moment, Yan He’s cries suddenly came from the room. Shu Tiancheng, anxious, hurriedly pushed the room door open and walked in. On the large bed, Yan He’s face was tightly wrapped in bandages, like a mummy, with only one eye exposed. Even with the thick bandages, small traces of blood seeped through, clearly showing how deep the injury was.

"Yan’er, how are you?" Shu Tiancheng quickly walked to the bedside and sat down.

Seeing Shu Tiancheng, Yan He began to cry with grievances, "Grandpa, my face hurts so much. Will I be scarred? Will I become very ugly? I won’t be able to face anyone anymore."
