Chapter 1519: Chapter 1520: Unprecedented Severity
Chu Xiâs brow twitched twice violently, and she denied it outright, âMrs. Jiang, I didnât know anything. Iâve been by your side these past few days. I didnât even know Rong Yan was kidnapped until you just mentioned it. How could I possibly have kidnapped her?â
Jiang Chenyueâs expression darkened as she gripped the table, neither affirming nor outright denying belief in her, and said coldly, âIf it has nothing to do with you, why would Li Shengxiao send over the tattoo from Chu Liuqiâs arm? And I also heard that your father hired someone to try to run Yan down.â
Chu Xi keenly noticed her intimate way of addressing Rong Yan, feeling even more puzzled by her unusual attitude toward her. But given her own precarious situation now, she couldnât afford to dwell on it too much.
She couldnât let Jiang Chenyue think she was the kind of girl who was cruel and ruthless!
âMy dad? Could there be some mistake? Why would my dad target Rong Yan?â
âHow would I know why heâs targeting Rong Yan.â Jiang Chenyue kept her eyes on her as she spoke, clearly insinuating something. âHeâs your father. You should know better than me.â
Her words hit too heavily.
Chu Xiâs face turned pale, then flushed, as she stood there clutching her clothes tightly. Staring back at Jiang Chenyue, she stubbornly argued, âI truly donât know anything about this. If I wanted to target her, I could do it directly. This time, I honestly had nothing to do with it.â
She really didnât know Chu Feng would be this foolishâfailing to take Rong Yanâs life and even getting caught in the act, dragging her into the mess.
An absolute idiot!
No wonder heâd accomplished nothing all these years, even while leaning on the Chu Family.
Jiang Chenyue fixed her gaze on her face, as though analyzing whether she was telling the truth or lying. Chu Xi genuinely had no involvement this time, which allowed her to stand tall and face Jiang Chenyueâs intense scrutiny without flinching.
After several more minutes of examining her, the sharp gaze Jiang Chenyue directed at her gradually softened and faded away.
Chu Xi quietly let out a breath of relief.
But before she could fully steady herself, she heard Jiang Chenyueâs warning voice: âItâs good that this has nothing to do with you. Donât involve yourself with Rong Yan.â
Chu Xi couldnât hold back any longer and looked at her in confusion. âMrs. Jiang, why are you protecting her? She stole Miss Chuâs fiancĂ©. Shouldnât we teach her a lesson?â
In the future, she would become the âreal Miss Chu,â and everything that truly belonged to Chu Xi would also become hers. She couldnât help but pay attention to Jiang Chenyueâs inexplicable attitude toward Rong Yan.
Jiang Chenyue had no intention of explaining her actions and simply said indifferently, âYou donât need to know my reasons. You just need to remember what I told youâdonât act smart and give Rong Yan trouble. Especially things like the kidnapping and attempted murder that happened today. Let me make this very clear: I will not tolerate it. If I find out you did something behind my back, even if itâs you, I will not forgive you. Understood?â
The weight in her voice behind the phrase âeven if itâs youâ carried a deeper meaning, one Chu Xi understood clearly.
Jiang Chenyue now believed she was the lost, rightful Chu Xi. But even if she was her âbiological daughter,â she still wouldnât allow her to harm Rong Yan⊠This left Chu Xi feeling indescribable emotions. Aside from escalating confusion, she also felt jealousy and disgust.
Clearly, clearly even the heavens were on her side, letting Jiang Chenyue believe she was the long-lost daughter. Her life should have been smooth sailing, granting her everything she could ever want. So why was it that the people around her one by one all stood on Rong Yanâs side? Why?
