Chapter 21 -21 You two actually match well together

The police officer frowned, “Are you sure? You must tell the truth, you cannot give false testimony!”

“I’m sure, actually… we were sleeping together all night that day, I haven’t given false testimony.”

Wen Nianyou’s face flushed with a red tinge as she tugged at Qi Yunfan’s hand and whispered, “Brother Yunfan, thank you for proving my innocence.”

“Why are you being polite with me? You were innocent to begin with, I just told the truth.”

Wen Nianyou shyly nodded her head, then, she turned her head to look at Lin Chuyi.

“See, I told you that framing me was useless. Chuyi, you really should stop doing such things, using such despicable means to compete with me for Brother Yunfan is doomed to fail.”

Lin Chuyi: “You’re quite good at distorting the truth. When did I ever compete with you for Qi Yunfan? Can’t you see I don’t even want to talk to him now?”

Wen Nianyou sighed, “If you won’t admit it, so be it, but from now on, stay away from my boyfriend. Being a mistress and destroying other people’s relationships will bring retribution, we grew up together and I still don’t want retribution to come upon you, I want you to be well, Chuyi, can you understand my intentions?”

Lin Chuyi looked at her, leaning on Qi Yunfan’s side, while Qi Yunfan swept aside the stray hairs on her cheek with one hand and gently massaged the areas reddened from the handcuffs with the other, with utmost tenderness and care.

The two of them, deeply affectionate, clearly had been together for a long while, yet Qi Yunfan had still kept it from her, persistently pursuing her.

Lin Chuyi suddenly scoffed coldly, “Whether you have a heart is hard to say, but I wish you two would always be together, never to part. After all, you two are quite a match.”

Wen Nianyou’s eyebrows slightly furrowed; why wasn’t Lin Chuyi’s reaction as she had expected? Seeing Qi Yunfan being so good to her, shouldn’t she be breaking down in tears? Why was she offering blessings instead? What an act!

Without attracting attention, she gave Lin Yueqin a slight kick.

Lin Yueqin immediately began speaking, her face full of guilt and fear, “Madam, I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault. I didn’t raise my daughter right, she framed Miss Nianyou for manslaughter just to take away her boyfriend! Madam, I deserve to die, please fire me, I’m too ashamed to work for the Wen Family anymore!”

Lady Wen slowly turned her head, looking at Lin Chuyi, her always gentle eyes filled with disappointment, “Chuyi, is it really so? Did you frame Youyou? Haven’t I treated you well over these years? Why would you do this?”

Lin Chuyi, looking at her disappointed gaze, felt a sharp pang of pain in her heart.

For some reason, she didn’t care how Lin Yueqin saw her, but strangely, she didn’t want to disappoint Lady Wen.

Perhaps, it was because Lady Wen had protected her, taken care of her throughout her growing years, she was the mother she had always longed to have.

Her voice carried a trace of bitterness, “It’s not like that, Madam, I didn’t frame her.”

“You still dare to say you didn’t frame Miss Nianyou?! It was clearly you who killed the person, and you still want Miss Nianyou to take the fall for you! How could I have given birth to such an ungrateful creature!”

Lin Yueqin shouted angrily, raising her hand to slap Lin Chuyi’s cheek.

Lin Chuyi had taken too many beatings from her, and even though her mind was troubled, she still instinctively reacted, blocking the hand that came at her.

Lin Yueqin failed to hit her and grew even more irate and furious, “You little beast, how dare you resist! It’s a waste how the Madam has always doted on you, yet you’re trying to kill her only daughter! You should be hurrying to apologize and admit your mistakes to Miss Nianyou!”

Lin Chuyi’s gaze was icy, “I haven’t done anything wrong, why should I admit?”

“You still dare to talk back? You’re really rebelling now, I must properly discipline you today!”

Lin Yueqin said, and attempted to strike her again.

Wen Nianyou hastily intervened, “Enough, Aunt Lin, don’t hit Chuyi. I don’t blame her, she just likes Brother Yunfan too much, that’s why she did something wrong. She doesn’t have ill intentions toward me, let’s forgive her this one time!”
