Chapter 329 Chaos
Chapter 329 Chaos
Ye Chengyan looked at Yu Baisu with a complicated expression.
Yu Baisu shook her head frantically, but at this point she didn't know what to say. This irrefutable evidence had pinned her to the pillar, and she couldn't get down.
Jiang Xun was clearly her devoted follower, willing to die for her. Why would he suddenly betray her? Apart from that other person, Jiang Xun was the person she trusted the most. Why would he do this?
No matter how hard Yu Baisu racked her brains, she couldn't have imagined that the reason Jiang Xun did this was entirely because his two-year-old sister, who shared the same parents, had been brought to the Bai family by Bai's father under the pretext of invitation. No matter how much Jiang Xun liked Yu Baisu, he couldn't possibly disregard the safety of his own family.
Jiang Xun was indeed willing to give his life for Yu Baisu, but that was limited to his own life.
The recording has only just begun.
In the recording, as soon as Yu Baisu finished speaking, an angry male voice rang out.
"You can't go back to the US. Have you forgotten that you're in the US... Anyway, you can't go back to the US."
"What can I do? I'm not legitimately staying in the Ye family now. People outside will laugh at me. Jiang Xun, I really can't do it anymore. I can't hold on any longer."
"Su Su, I'll take care of her for you."
"No, Jiang Xun, this is illegal. Last time, Bai Weiwei, that Miss Bai who doesn't like Yunzhi, contacted me and asked me to give her a car so she could help me get rid of Yunzhi. I refused her. Jiang Xun, you must not do such a foolish thing."
How do we give her the car?
"She said the password to put the car keys in safe number 32 at the Royal Mansion is my birthday... Wait, Chiang Hsun, what are you trying to do? I was just talking nonsense, just pretend you didn't hear me!"
Chiang Hsun did not respond further and hung up the phone directly.
The recording of just a few words plunged the living room into a deathly silence.
Yu Baisu's legs went weak and she almost sat down on the ground. She looked at Yunzhi in disbelief, as if she had just realized that the Audi in Bai Weiwei's hand was given to her by Jiang Xun.
“Miss Yun, you mean, Jiang Xun... Miss Yun, I really didn’t know he would do such a thing. I had already tried to persuade him. Miss Yun, I’m sorry. I originally wanted to persuade him not to be like Bai Weiwei. I didn’t expect this. I’m so sorry, I’m really sorry.”
Soon, Yu Baisu was in tears. She covered her mouth with both hands, her shoulders trembling, as if she was even more unable to accept this than Yunzhi. Yunzhi watched Yu Baisu's performance quietly, without any ripples in her heart. She knew very well that Yu Baisu's tears were crocodile tears.
Yunzhi tilted her head, looking at Yu Baisu with a half-smile, "Didn't you say you didn't know Jiang Xun? How come you know him now?"
Yu Baisu wasn't entirely stupid; she didn't say the audio was synthesized, otherwise, a professional testing report would have been slammed in her face, leaving her speechless.
"I... Ah Yan, I was afraid you would misunderstand. Jiang Xun was one of my suitors, which is why I said I didn't know him." Yu Baisu looked at Ye Chengyan with teary eyes, attributing all of this to fear.
Ye Chengyan remained silent, as if he were meeting Yu Baisu for the first time.
Ye Chengyan wasn't stupid. In the recording, although Yu Baisu repeatedly emphasized that Jiang Xun should not hurt Yunzhi, she also repeatedly stressed that Yunzhi made it impossible for her to survive in Haishi, thus provoking Jiang Xun.
Yu Baisu even revealed everything about Bai Weiwei to Jiang Xun, whether intentionally or unintentionally. She didn't even tell Jiang Xun the password to safe number 32 in the Yu Mansion. It's impossible to say that she had no malicious intent at all.
Is the woman in front of me really the same innocent woman I remember? Or is she just too good at pretending, which is why I haven't noticed her all this time?
The unfamiliar gaze from Ye Chengyan made Yu Baisu silently think to herself, "This is bad."
Jiang Xun, that idiot, actually dared to betray her. She would definitely settle this score with him, interest and all. It was because she knew that Jiang Xun loved her like a madman that she was not on guard. Who knew that Jiang Xun even had a recording? Sure enough, the silent dog bites the hardest.
"Miss Yu is really capable. Yu Baisu, don't treat people like fools. You don't want Jiang Xun to do this, but you'd rather tell him Bai Weiwei's address." Yunzhi clapped as she stood up. She walked slowly to Yu Baisu and looked down at the woman in front of her, who even when she cried, gave people the feeling of being a frail willow.
"Miss Yun, I really didn't know..."
"You don't know that Jiang Xun likes you, you don't know that Jiang Xun would do anything for you, or you don't know that Jiang Xun wants me to disappear from this world for you?" Yun Zhi interrupted Yu Baisu's monotonous explanations, tilting her head to look at Yu Baisu.
Yunzhi's gaze was like an X-ray, easily able to see through people's hearts.
Yu Baisu opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Just then, Yunzhi sneered and slapped Yu Baisu across the face. The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the quiet villa. Her action was so fast that no one had time to react. Even Yu Baisu did not expect that Yunzhi would suddenly make a move in front of so many people.
Yu Baisu was knocked back a step, her delicate cheek swelling up instantly. She covered her stinging cheek with one hand, turned to look at Yunzhi in disbelief, anger rising in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. In shock, Yu Baisu even forgot about her little pearl.
Ye Chengyan's expression changed, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop him, but Cheng Shuyan stopped him. Cheng Shuyan pushed up his glasses and looked at Ye Chengyan expressionlessly.
"Mr. Ye, you wouldn't be blindly protecting your little lover, would you? Or, as the president of the Ye Group, can't even tell if what she said is true or false? If you insist on protecting Yu Baisu, then I don't mind having a showdown with you."
Ye Chengyan pursed his thin lips into a straight line. He looked at the two people facing off, but in the end, he still didn't speak. It was indeed Yu Baisu's fault in this matter. However, he didn't expect that Yu Baisu would incite someone who admired Yunzhi to attack Yunzhi just because she liked her.
Or perhaps... it really is as she said, that she was simply venting her frustrations. This thought had barely surfaced when Ye Chengyan dismissed it. No matter how unwilling Ye Chengyan was to believe it, he had to admit that Yu Baisu was not as naive as she appeared.
He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, momentarily at a loss for what to do with Yu Baisu.
Yu Baisu's deception did indeed anger him, but all of Yu Baisu did was because she loved him. Just thinking about how much Yu Baisu loved him made Ye Chengyan's heart beat faster.
