Ju Qiulan didn't really come to see Mu Yiqing. Otherwise, she would have brought a fruit basket. She nodded perfunctorily and glanced at the busy corridor. "Shall we go in and talk?"
"Okay." Yu Anna pushed open the door and walked in.
Ju Qiulan glanced at the room inside but had no intention of going in. She quickly looked away and sat down on the sofa.
Yu Anna poured a glass of water for Ju Qiulan and sat down in the chair opposite her.
Ju Qiulan remembered that Mu Ning Jing was still waiting for her outside. She didn't want to waste any more time and changed the topic. "Nana, I treat you well, don't I?"
Yu Anna nodded.
"Xi 'er is now being detained as a suspect. I didn't ask for your help, but you shouldn't have asked the Yu family to put pressure on the police." Ju Qiulan thought about Shen Jiuyan's investigation and how Xi 'er couldn't be released because the Yu family had put pressure on the higher-ups. Her expression darkened. "Nana, tell me the truth. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to force Xi 'er to marry you? Or do you really want Xi 'er to go to jail? "
Yu Anna hurriedly explained, "Aunt Ju, I didn't want Tingxi to go to jail. I really didn't know anything about this. I can't wait to like him. Why would I harm him?"
"Then whose idea is this?"
Yu Anna didn't know how to answer. Her mother had been the one behind this at first. However, when her father fell ill and her mother almost broke down, her grandfather couldn't take it anymore and got involved. Yu Anna thought about it and said, "Aunt Ju, we didn't want to go against Tingxi. It's just that …"
"I don't care what the reason is. Just tell me one thing. Will you let Xi 'er go?" Ju Qiulan interrupted Yu Anna impatiently.
Yu Anna lowered her head and didn't say anything. She had begged her grandfather before and he was furious. He scolded her for being spineless, heartless, and shameless. He said that she was still trying to help others when they had already ruined the Yu family. He said that the Yu family wasn't a family that could be bullied by others and he had to vent his anger.
Later on, Yu Anna thought that it would be counterproductive if she went to plead for leniency with her grandfather in a fit of anger. On the other hand, if Shen Tingxi stayed in the detention center for a period of time, he would reflect on himself and feel that the Yu Family was not to be trifled with. After he was released, she could use the fact that they had slept together to talk things over. Perhaps Shen Tingxi would marry her.
So Yu Anna settled down and didn't bother about this matter anymore.
When Ju Qiulan saw that Yu Anna wasn't speaking, she couldn't control the anger in her heart anymore. She stood up and looked down at Yu Anna and said angrily, "I was blind to have taken a liking to you and wanted you to be the daughter-in-law of the Shen family. It turns out that you don't care about Xi 'er at all. You even tried to trick him. Fine, since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being heartless. Do you really think that the Shen family is afraid of the Yu family? At most, we'll fight to the death and destroy both jade and stone. "
Seeing that Ju Qiulan was angry, Yu Anna hurriedly stood up and held her hand. "Aunt Ju, don't be angry …"
Ju Qiulan flung Yu Anna's hand away and said angrily, "My son is in jail because of you and you're telling me not to be angry?"
Yu Anna looked at her sincerely. "Aunt Ju, don't you know how I feel about Tingxi? If I didn't like him, how could I have willingly become his woman that night? "
At the mention of this, Ju Qiulan's mind suddenly turned red. Her gaze lingered on Yu Anna's hand for two seconds. She wasn't sure, but her tone was firm. She stared unblinkingly at Yu Anna, not wanting to miss any expression on her face. "Don't think that I don't know that Xi 'er didn't touch you that night."
A trace of panic flashed across Yu Anna's eyes, but she quickly calmed herself down. Only she and Shen Tingxi knew about what happened that night. Shen Tingxi was drugged and unconscious. If she didn't say anything, no one else would know.
So Yu Anna said with an aggrieved expression, "Aunt Ju, how can you say something like that? It's fine if Tingxi doesn't want to take responsibility, but you were the one who set us up that night. Why don't you admit it? Is the blood on the sheets fake? "
Ju Qiulan naturally saw the flash of panic in Yu Anna's eyes and was even more certain of her guess. "Of course the blood is real, but it's from your palm. That day when I tried to pull your hand, you clenched your hand into a fist. Did you really think that I didn't see the wound on your palm?"
Yu Anna couldn't maintain her composure, but she still tried her best to hold it together. "My hand was injured because Tingxi was too rough and accidentally hurt me."
Ju Qiulan walked around the coffee table and grabbed Yu Anna's wrist, pulling her out. "Let's go. This is the hospital. You can go get a checkup. We'll know if you slept that night."
Yu Anna was completely flustered. She struggled and said, "I'm not going. I'm not going."
Dragging Yu Anna for a checkup was Ju Qiulan's final test. Yu Anna's reaction said it all. It didn't matter whether she got a checkup or not because Ju Qiulan already knew the result.
Ju Qiulan let go of Yu Anna and said coldly, "I didn't expect you to be so scheming. You actually fooled all of us. I'm glad that Tingxi refused to marry you. Otherwise, if he married a woman like you, we wouldn't know when you would plot against us."
"Aunt Ju, I really love Tingxi. That's why I tried so hard to marry him …"
Ju Qiulan sneered and interrupted Yu Anna's confession. "You really love him. You love him so much that you sent him to prison."
"Aunt Ju …"
"From now on, the Shen family and the Yu family are irreconcilable." Ju Qiulan left the ward after saying this coldly.
Shen Tingxi was Ju Qiulan's bottom line. No matter what she did, it was for the sake of Shen Tingxi. She had done many outrageous things in the past, but no matter what she did, it was all for the sake of Shen Tingxi. It was just that she was too self-centered, too presumptuous, and too domineering. That was why it backfired.
In fact, with a girl like Mu Ning Jing's family background, no parents would like a daughter-in-law like Mu Ning Jing if they didn't know her well. However, other parents might not be as unscrupulous as Ju Qiulan.
Ju Qiulan saw the thin figure at the door from afar and an awkward expression appeared in her eyes. She uncomfortably tucked her hair behind her ear and walked over. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
Mu Ning Jing was slightly stunned. Ju Qiulan had never been so kind to her before. She didn't know what to say. "It's … it's okay."
"Let's find a cafe and sit down?" Ju Qiulan suggested.
Mu Ning Jing nodded. "Okay."
"Wait a moment. I'll get the car."
"Okay."
On the way, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward. In the end, Ju Qiulan broke the silence. "It seems like someone is following us."
