970: Direct Confrontation

Direct Confrontation

As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, there was dead silence in the living room of the Shen residence. Commissar Shen and Shen Rongsheng were still a little calmer, but Mother Shen couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about her daughter.1

When she heard Chi Shuyan's words, her face twisted for a moment. If Mother Shen had only been taking her anger out on Chi Lingyan before for deliberately leaving her daughter hanging, Chi Lingyan's daughter's slander of her own daughter, Rongyin, completely made Mother Shen dislike her.

Mother Shen cursed furiously on the spot. "What do you know, little girl? What right do you have to curse my Rongyin like that? Sure enough, like father, like daughter!"

When Chi Lingyan heard Mother Shen's words, he frowned and subconsciously stood in front of his daughter. Seeing this, Chi Shuyan beamed; she didn't take Mother Shen's words to heart at all. Her face quickly turned solemn, however, as she glanced at Mother Shen first before she said to Commissar Shen, "Uncle Shen, can I talk to you alone about this?"

"Talk about what? What's there to talk about! Old Shen, look, even this little girl from the Chi family is bullying our daughter today. What sin has my daughter committed to make people misunderstand her?" Mother Shen wiped her tears and stared hatefully at the little girl in front of her.

As Mother Shen's only son and Shen Rongyin's only brother, Shen Rongsheng naturally couldn't stand seeing his sister and mother being bullied. He said coldly to Chi Shuyan, "Miss Chi, the Shen family knows very well whether my sister is human or not. You don't have to say anything."

Chi Shuyan looked at Shen Rongsheng and curled her lip. "Mr. Shen, aren't you curious about how your wife died? Or if it has anything to do with your sister?"

Shen Rongsheng didn't expect the girl in front of him to mention his wife's death, and his face changed drastically. Speaking of which, he and Chen Jing had been a love match. Chen Jing's family background was good, and Shen Rongsheng's family hadn't objected to it. It hadn't been an overly passionate relationship, but it had always been good. It could be said that Chen Jing's death had been quite the blow to him, so when he heard the latter half of Chi Shuyan's words, his face turned ugly and livid. He was certain that his sister wouldn't do anything to his wife, and his expression was very ugly. "What nonsense are you saying?"

Mother Shen was even angrier than Shen Rongsheng. Why did this little Chi girl keep making accusations about her daughter? She even accused her daughter of killing her sister-in-law?

Mother Shen was so angry that her face flashed green and white. She directly told the Chi father and daughter to get lost, and didn't even give the Wei person and Old Commander Lu any face.

Deep down, she was certain that this daughter of the Chi family was probably trying to take revenge and stop Rongyin from liking Chi Lingyan. One really couldn't judge a book by its cover.

Mother Shen was so angry that her whole body shook. She took her anger out on Chi Lingyan and said to him, "Chi, do you think my Shen family cares so much for you? How much does Rongyin care for you? If my Rongyin hadn't saved you back then, would you still be alive now? My Shen family is not asking you to repay kindness, but you shouldn't repay kindness with ingratitude."

Seeing that Commissar Shen didn't speak from beginning to end, Mother Shen said to him, "Old Shen, look at this huge group of people bullying our Rongyin. Can you believe it?"

Mother Shen then said to Commander Old Lu, "Old Lu, you know what Old Shen and I are like. Speaking of which, my daughter grew up in the military district, and you watched her grow up. My daughter just looks a bit younger. I didn't say much and didn't take issue with some of the rumors in the past, but now, rumors about my daughter not being human have started to spread. These words simply stab me in the heart as a mother. It's fine if you have evidence, but without evidence, what right do you have to slander my daughter? I've already gotten my daughter to come back to make things right!"
