Chapter 1575: Chapter 1576: Throw the evidence in her face
The blatant evidence was slapped in her face, and indeed, this matter had nothing to do with Rong Yan. The main reason was on herself. Chu Xiās face burned with shame; the arguments she had just made turned into slaps, hurting herself. Her fingers curled, wishing she could crush the investigation results Qin Jun gave her and throw them into the trash can, but the occasion didnāt allow her to do so! She slowly put down what was in her hands, her face pale as she whispered her apology, "...Mrs. Jiang, Iām sorry, I was manipulated by others, I thought she provoked me first, and I retaliated because I couldnāt bear it."
"Enough, I donāt want to know what you were thinking at that time. Go back to your room and rest; organize your things and move to the apartment tomorrow to think about what I told you."
Chu Xiās face was as white as paper, almost breakable by a gust of wind, and she answered mournfully, "Yes, I understand."
Perhaps seeing her poor complexion, Jiang Chenyue felt some reluctance, her tone softened a bit, "The apartment is in the city center, so itās convenient for you to come and go. I have arranged bodyguards and a housekeeper for you, so you donāt have to worry about your safety. Other than not being in Chu Garden, you wonāt be materially deprived."
But living in Chu Garden and not living there means something entirely different!
Chu Xi nearly wanted to plead again, but words stuck to her tongue. Knowing Jiang Chenyueās personality of preferring gentleness over toughness, she silently swallowed them back.
Jiang Chenyue had already shown an attitude of disappointment in her. If she shamelessly begged to lessen her punishment, Jiang Chenyue might become even more disappointed in her! She couldnāt continue being led around by Rong Yan. At this rate, she would eventually lose Jiang Chenyueās favor.
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang, Iāll go to my room to pack."
As expected, her ācalmā acceptance of punishment made the demeanor of the noble lady much softer, and as she watched her leave, she said nothing more.
After she left, Qin Jun lazily leaned against the sofa and asked, "Aunt, Iām curious about something."
"Speak directly, donāt beat around the bush. If you do, then donāt speak," Jiang Chenyue was in a bad mood, and even to him, she didnāt have a pleasant expression.
Qin Jun circled in front of her, a handsome face with a playful smile, not serious at all, "My bad, I unconsciously brought the outside mannerisms back home. My beautiful aunt, please donāt be mad."
Jiang Chenyue shot him a glare, grumbling, "Are you going to speak or not?"
Qin Jun sat in front of her, crossed his legs, and lazily leaned on the sofa, "Iāll speak, okay."
"Iām curious about what kind of charm Rong Yan has that makes my aunt defend her repeatedly. Last time seemed the same, clearly, you told me to teach her a lesson, and I did, but afterward, you said I went too far and forced her to terminate the contract with the company. Sigh, itās the same this time. It seems every time youāre unconditionally defending her. Iām puzzled, sheās dating Li Shengxiao, shouldnāt you dislike her? Even if not disliked, at least not this kind of attitude." His casual expression actually hid seriousness, "Aunt, now itās just the two of us, can you quietly tell me why?"
Supposedly, aunt believed Chu Xiās words and considered Chu Xi her sister. With her twenty-plus years of persistence in searching for Xi, she would never treat Chu Xi like she did just now. Even if this matter was done wrong by Chu Xi, aunt would definitely protect her instead. Why would she personally call him to investigate the truth, bring back the evidence, and personally slap it on Chu Xiās face...
