Chapter 304 - Who is Blameful?

Chapter 304 Who is Blameful?

"I’d love to, but my foot was hurt when I enjoyed the sunrise in the morning. I just came back from the hospital, and the doctor told me to have a rest at home." Xia Yu was really appealed. Although she and Zhou Yan had some different opinions on some issues, Xia Yu really admired the psychological accomplishments of Zhou Yan.

"Was that serious? I will visit you." Wanru was worried after hearing that.

"You'd better attend Zhou Yan's lecture. Come to me when you are free." Zhou Yan’s lecture was not held every day while Wanru wished to have a deeper relationship with Zhou Yan. How could Xia Yu waste her valuable time?

"Then I will come to visit you tomorrow." Wanru didn't insist when thinking that Xia Yu was taken care of by both Shen Yan and the maid.

As soon as they finished talking, the doorbell rang. Xia Yu stood up by holding the arms of the sofa with a mobile phone in her hand. It rang several times, but Aunt Ma didn't hear that maybe because she was too busy. Xia Yu moved her feet with difficultly. It took half a minute from the living room to the porch. Then, she finally managed to open the door.

"What does it take you so long time to open a door?" Xia Yu heard Yang Ke'er's voice.

She raised her head to find that Yang Ke'er and Second Madame were standing by the door.

Seeing Xia Yu, both of them were shocked. "What happened to your foot?"

"It’s hurt due to my carelessness." Xia Yu let them in when they were talking.

"You're not a careless person." Yang Ke'er turned to look at Second Madame. "Second Aunt, Jiang Tao is really a bastard as I said. You have to believe it now. Last night, several people saw that Jiang Tao was driving a car on the road to chase Xia Yu. You can see the consequence now. Her foot was swollen."

Were they coming for Jiang Tao? Yesterday, Jiang Tao indeed chased her on the road, but this was not the reason for her injured foot. Xia Yu intended to explain because she didn't want to wrong others.

However, Second Madame also said justly before she spoke, "Old Madame Jiang was known for her irrational characteristic. Don't take her in your mind." I would have left if she was not a senior."

"Did Jiang Family start to create trouble to the old house? Shen Yan was also called away by Young Master Mo last night." Xia Yu was now clear about what they might talk.

"It was more than this. I was really bothered by the chaos they had made." Yang Ke'er complained at the side.

When Shen Yan walked to the door, he found that the door was open. He felt that something was wrong and went in, only to find his mother, Yang Ke'er and Xia Yu sitting on the two sofas in the living room separately. At the moment, the morning sun rays had dispersed, and the room had already been illuminated. The cold expression on their faces became clearer.

Shen Yan took a breath and asked by lowering his head, "Why are you here?"

"Come to seek refuge here. I can't bear to be at home." Yang Ke'er described what happened to Old Madame Jiang in the old house.

"Just ignore her. Why not have lunch together since you are already here? I will ask Aunt Ma to prepare a few more dishes." Shen Yan didn't ask what Old Madame Jiang had said at home.

"Well, Second Aunt, we will spend one day here." Yang Ke'er responded immediately.

After lunch, Second Madame went to the guest room to rest. Yang Ke'er walked directly to Xia Yu’s room.

"Miss Yang, this is my room." Xia Yu came to remind her by standing at the door of the room.

"I know, but there is no vacant room left. Where can I stay except yours?" Yang Ke'er said confidently.

"Then, where do I sleep?" Moreover, Xia Yu was still a patient.

"You can sleep in the room of Brother Yan!" Yang Ke'er said with a sneer. "I don't believe that you haven't slept together with Brother Yan. Everyone knows which stage your relationship with him has developed. Why are you still pretending?"

A number of black lines seemed to flash through Xia Yu's forehead. She subconsciously took a glance at Shen Yan, only to see that he was withholding his smile, which meant that nobody would trust her though she was chaste.

She ignored him by turning her head and said after keeping silent for a moment, "Aunt Ma is here. She is an elder so we should be more disciplined. We’re not pretending to be innocent and pure, but respecting the elders."

"Keep those philosophies to yourself. Anyway, I won't believe it. I will occupy your room. You can go to Brother Yan's room or stay in the living room at your will." Yang Ke'er seemed to be unhappy. She pushed Xia Yu out and then closed the door.

Shen Yan now was leaning against the door of the room. He seemed to think about accommodating her complacently.

Xia Yu directly ignored him and came to stay in the living room.

In the evening, the sunset dyed a row of tall buildings into golden yellow after the rain, and the pavement on the street became dark in the shadows, forming a stark contrast with the golden yellow of tall buildings. A breeze swept through the treetops and trees on the roadside were green and exuberant.

After dinner, Xia Yu went out by the excuse of walking. She believed that Second Madame must have something to talk with Shen Yan secretly.

Her foot was painful so she didn't go too far. She wanted to drink milk tea as she found a milk tea store when standing at the door of the community. Then she came to buy some. When crossing the road, a person ran on her shoulder and the bag in her hand fell onto the ground.

Hearing too many thefts that people were knocked down by strangers and their properties were lost, Xia Yu got nervous suddenly and quickly checked the wallet and mobile phone in the bag. Then she was relieved that all things were there.

"Xia Yu!"

Looking up, she saw Zeng Mina was helping her to pick up the bag on the ground. She smiled and handed the bag to her.

"Thank you, Miss Zeng!" Although she was curious why Zeng Mina was here, she controlled herself. Xia Yu took it and responded with a polite smile. She turned to cross the road but stopped when seeing the heavy traffic.

"You're welcome, but what's wrong with your foot?" When Zeng Mina saw that Xia Yu was limping, she came to hold her arms. She looked at her on her left side and said, "There are too many vehicles. Watch out."

Xia Yu was not used to being held by others, so she wanted to get rid of her hands. However, she insisted to hold her and went toward. There was a handbag and two bags of milk tea in each of Xia Yu's hands so she was not clear why she was holding her arms. Suddenly, a sharp sound of brake was heard. A car almost crushed on them. Xia Yu was scared and stopped instinctively.

Zeng Mina fell to the ground, about 30 centimeters away from the car. Obviously, the car didn't hit her. Xia Yu patted on her chest a few times and took a breath. Although she didn't like her, she didn't expect to see her being hit by a car.

Xia Yu reached out her hand to help her, but she suddenly shouted before Xia Yu touched her, "Xia Yu, why did you push me? Why?"

Xia Yu’s hand was stiff in the air. She was now shocked! She didn't push her because it was Zeng Mina who held her to go just now.

Zeng Mina sat on the ground and cried, "Xia Yu, I came to help you to cross the road when seeing that you carried so many things. But I did not expect that you intended to push me onto the car!" She burst into tears, attracting so many onlookers.

Xia Yu explained loudly, "I didn't push you. Are you crazy? It was you who took me away!"

"If I wanted to push you onto the car, why did I walk on your left side? The car was coming from the left! Tu Jiaojiao and her father were put into prison. Jiang Tao was also in a precarious situation. You've already won. What else do you want? You should want my life! How vicious you are!" She wailed and whined and began to talk nonsense when more and more people were attracted.

Xia Yu felt her scalp was numb and her back was cold. She thought it was unfortunate to meet her in a sudden. The pulp drama in her head was really played before her eyes!

The passersby didn't know what had happened, so they thought Zeng Mina's words were reasonable. They all accused Xia Yu because Zeng Mina was so pitiful with her words. Xia Yu was anxious and got angry now but she had no evidence to prove her innocence.

The driver on the car went to them and asked about the situation. Zeng Mina pretended to be reasonable and said, crying when shaking her head, "It’s not your fault. The car didn't hit me."

The driver didn't say anything else and drove the car away, maybe because he was hurrying on the way or because he was afraid of getting into trouble.

Xia Yu was almost crushed by a car and was scared just now. Now, she was wronged by Zeng Mina. Thus, she was totally at a loss and stood there blankly before she realized what had happened.

"What happened? What's wrong with you?" Yang Ke'er appeared from the crowd. She came to find her when Xia Yu didn't come back for a long time.

Seeing Yang Ke'er was coming, Xia Yu explained the matter again.

Yang Ke'er looked at Zeng Mina who was crying and complaining and asked puzzlingly, "Why did she fall to the ground?"

It seemed that even Yang Ke'er didn't believe her. What else could Xia Yu say? It was because of Zeng Mina's poor and touching crying, which was like an innocent child without parents. However, Xia Yu was standing there with anger, so everyone would sympathize with the weak.

Xia Yu thought it was better to call the police because there was a monitor. Whether it could be seen clearly or not, at least the police could prove her innocence.

Shen Yan arrived before she took out the phone. He frowned at Zeng Mina on the ground with a gloomy face.

Zeng Mina stopped crying and stood up from the ground in a panic. She covered her mouth pitifully by her hand and stared at Shen Yan with tears in her eyes.

Xia Yu was somewhat discouraged because men tended to sympathize with the weak.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yan was so angry that the blue veins on his forehead were swelling. He shouted furiously at Zeng Mina not at Xia Yu, "I didn't care about the tricks you had played and the trouble you created, but now, you should frame Xia Yu! Zeng Mina, I warn you that I will let you receive the punishment if you keep finding fault with Xia Yu in the future!"

"Shen Yan, how can you abuse me indiscriminately?" Zeng Mina looked at Shen Yan with red eyes. "Everyone saw it, and even Yang Ke'er also saw it."

"I only saw you lying on the ground, but I didn't see Xia Yu push you." Yang Ke'er was somewhat skeptical about Xia Yu’s deeds because if it happened to her, she would also do the same.

It was her fault to find others to frame Shen Yan. She should receive the retribution for her sinful deeds.

However, it was also a fact that she didn't see it.

"Yang Ke'er, how can you say this?" Zeng Mina stared at Yang Ke'er with hatred full of her heart. She was thinking that Yang Ke'er was so stupid to dispute for the person who had robbed the man from her.

"I was telling the truth. Why are you watching me like that? Do you wish me to perjure for you just because we are classmates?" Yang Ke'er stared at Zeng Mina and said word to word, "That is impossible!"

"You are bullying me! I’d better die here!" Zeng Mina burst into tears again, and the passersby were all taking about it.

Shen Yan couldn't bear it anymore. "Zeng Mina, you must make trouble now, right? Well, what do you think if I call my brother to pick you up, or the police?”

"Shen Yan, you must treat me like that, right?" Zeng Mina wiped the tears and looked at Shen Yan. "You know that Tu Jiaojiao is my friend, but you still sent her into prison. You are really heartless."

"Was my Brother Yan heartless? Tu Jiaojiao is your friend. Is Brother Yan not a friend of you? And he is also the brother of your fiancé. Why don’t you think about "heartless" when you were framing him?" Yang Ke'er said ironically.

"Ke'er, just ignore her." Shen Yan turned to Zeng Mina and said, "If you want to take revenge for Tu Jiaojiao, come to find me. But if you dare to hurt Xia Yu, I promise you will regret it."

After that, he took Xia Yu in the direction of their home without turning back.
