CHAPTER 951: CHAPTER 95: OVERHEARING THE PARENTS’ CONVERSATION

Chapter 95

She pushed Su Meili aside and strode toward the man sitting in the corner not far away.

The man was the driver for this trip, responsible for driving everyone around.

Tall, robust, a bit strong, he usually helped the props team move props.

Yan Yuan walked to that table, stood beside the man, and looked at the dishes on the table.

"So, are the dishes today delicious or not? It seems everyone’s plates are empty. Here’s the idea—Su Meili, bring over the untouched plate of roast lamb from my table."

Yan Yuan shouted to Su Meili, who was not far away.

She seemed like a boss calling her underlings.

Su Meili was immediately infuriated, really wanting to rush over and kick Yan Yuan, pin her down, and stomp on her hard.

Bastard, actually ordering her around.

Does she not know who is hosting tonight’s dinner?

Yan Yuan, as if oblivious to Su Meili’s expression, engaged in cheerful conversation with those at the table.

Su Meili brought the plate of roast lamb ribs to Yan Yuan’s side, so angry she was about to explode, she couldn’t help but push Yan Yuan lightly with her elbow.

That little push was all it took, and she started to fall to the side. A glass of red wine splashed entirely on the man sitting beside her’s hand.

The scarf wrapped around his wrist instantly soaked through.

Yan Yuan was startled, hurriedly stood up, and pulled the man’s hand over, apologizing while helping him untie the scarf around his wrist.

Soon, the jagged wounds on the man’s wrist were exposed.

Su Meili stood there, completely dumbfounded.

Yan Yuan, this drama queen, the Oscars owe her a golden statue.

She only nudged her with her elbow, and so much drama unfolded.

Su Meili understood why, during the audition, she lost to Yan Yuan.

The man, seeing his wounds exposed and soaked in wine, felt a sharp pain.

He immediately stood up, saying, "It’s okay, I’ll go back and redo the bandages."

Yan Yuan was about to speak when Su Meili put down the plate she was holding and said coldly to the man, "I don’t think that’s necessary."

The man’s tall body instinctively shuddered, obviously guilty of something.

"What do you mean, Miss Su?" The man asked.

Su Meili instructed her little underling, "Go search his room, see if there are any scissors and blood-stained cloth strips."

"Yes!" Su Meili’s underling immediately went off.

The man looked panicked and instinctively glanced over at the table with the director and Song Yuwan before attempting to leave forcefully.

Su Meili had long prepared, having security from nine o’clock capture him, and then explained to the curious crowd, "I suspect he is the one who tore my clothes. Moreover, I’ve already collected the perpetrator’s blood sample. We just need to conduct a firm comparison."

What?

The crowd looked at each other in dismay.

What on earth is going on? Didn’t Su Meili say that this was all done by Yan Yuan?

Why suddenly target an irrelevant driver and accuse him?

Though Su Meili wasn’t as intelligent as Yan Yuan, she wasn’t an idiot either.

Soon, her underling returned from the driver’s room with a pair of scissors and several pieces of blood-stained fabric.

And the fabric happened to be from her clothes.

Su Meili explained the whole story to everyone, and they finally realized the truth.

Yan Yuan sat aside, eating, at this point she no longer wanted to talk to Su Meili.

This fool isn’t just ordinarily dumb!

Earlier, she had asked her for help, yet she went off and messed things up on her own.

Now look, it truly stirred up the hornet’s nest.

The driver was evidently under someone’s orders, he had no motive to tear Su Meili’s clothes and frame her.

She initially wanted to test him, to see if the wounds on his wrist were neat.

If the wounds were neat, it indicated they weren’t caused by tiles.

If the wounds were jagged and chunked, with peeling, it indicated they were tile injuries.

As soon as she confirmed he was the perpetrator, she could then easily follow the leads and uncover the mastermind.

The night snack was merely a ruse to catch the perpetrator.

After being subdued, the driver remained silent.

In the dead of night, Su Meili called the police, and the officers came and took him away.

Because this matter couldn’t be settled privately.

The man only said one thing, "He can’t afford to pay!"

After everyone had left.

Yan Yuan still sat at the table, eating.

Su Meili watched as the police took the man away, and glared at Yan Yuan, "You’re still eating, was my performance smart just now?"

Yan Yuan looked at her with an expression of disbelief, "Didn’t the police ask you to give a statement? Remember, don’t mention my name, just say it was all your idea."

"How can that be, the plan was yours." Su Meili chuckled, "Yan Yuan, what if he doesn’t compensate me for my clothes?"

"Make him pay!"

"He says he has no money!"

"Make him confess who instructed him to do it—let the mastermind pay."

"What!" Su Meili was instantly stunned. "You’re saying there’s a mastermind behind this?"

"Idiot, there’s no reason, no resentment, why would he tear your clothes? Look at all this tasty food on the table." Yan Yuan said patiently to Su Meili.

Su Meili froze at her words, "Right! So we caught him, but if he doesn’t confess, what do we do?"

"Simple, make him pay." Yan Yuan figured that at this point in the situation.

There was only one solution, to make that person pay money.

If he didn’t pay, then have him confess the real mastermind.

The money can always be recouped, whether the real mastermind will surface is another matter.

After Yan Yuan finished speaking, she stretched lazily, "It’s late, I’m full and satisfied, time to sleep. Tomorrow is the River God’s festival, another feast awaits."

Chu Chen glanced at Su Meili, "Next time, think carefully before you act. Just now, Yueyue almost caught the real culprit, you were too hasty."

Su Meili felt like crying.

Yan Yuan, she would be at odds with her for a lifetime.

Su Meili tossed and turned because of this incident until late at night before finally falling asleep.

As for whether that man would confess, it depended on the police.

If not, she would definitely pursue legal action to make him compensate her.

As a driver, her clothing worth millions, even if he worked for her his entire life, he couldn’t afford it.

She didn’t believe he wouldn’t confess.

The sun finally broke out over Jiangli City, a city resembling a sacred realm for immortals.

Mountains and rivers were lush and green, the morning glow emerged from the clouds, making it seem like the earth itself was swallowing rain and exhaling mist.

The city’s streets were spotlessly clean, with even the annoying smell of car exhaust dissipated.

This day, no one in Jiangcheng ventured out.

Every family placed their homemade delicious dishes onto a cart and transported it down to the riverbank.

A large sacrificial event was held in the square, hundreds of people dressed in colorful clothing gathered to dance and perform acrobatics.

Incense smoke curled from the furnace.

Yan Yuan and Chu Chen mingled in the crowd, looking at the blue sky, and danced with the joyful locals.

Today, Yan Yuan felt something peculiar.

She felt as if her heart could penetrate through layers of clouds and sense her parents living in the temple.

Upon the temple, glowing in a colorful radiance, with golden light perpetually enveloping that land.

A pair of immortal lovers.

The woman, a beauty beyond time, loved wearing light blue clothes.

The man, a charm unmatched, his appearance unparalleled by anyone.

"Xixi, come taste the rose tea I recently brewed!" The man brought the tea to the woman’s side and sat down.

Blooming flowers appeared behind them, exuding a white spiritual energy scattering into the air, forming a magnificent glow.

"Ah Qing, the Heavenly Emperor’s added another child, it’s said that upon this child’s birth, all the Fruits of Immortality in his garden matured overnight. Have you heard about this?" Lan Xi looked solemn at that moment.

She was in no mood to enjoy the tea.

Ya was the Crown Prince of the Heavens, a person chosen by the Heavens since birth.

But now, he had just been reincarnated, and the Heavenly Emperor had already found another Crown Prince.

Where will he be when he returns in the future?

"I heard about it. It’s said that this child, just after birth, was already a Supreme Immortal. A rare prodigy in the Heavens, the rightful Crown Prince." The extraordinarily handsome man sighed, "Why worry, my lady? Did you forget, you still have a drop of Primordial Spirit Blood in your hand?"

Lan Xi looked at her husband, "I do, but you know better than anyone becoming a god isn’t that easy. Back then, you, I, Mi Xi, we narrowly survived, experiencing life and death, finally succeeded but any mistake could have made us disappear without a trace."

"Ya, having just reincarnated. His soul is still too fragile, without millions of years of reincarnation, he simply can’t withstand the Immortal Spirit Qi. Even if he returns to the Heavens, his cultivation must start anew." Lan Xi said heavily.
