279: Jiang Zhennan's Suffering

Jiang Zhennan's Suffering

2As soon as the two teenagers came up, they protected Liu Jiaying and Lin Yuelan behind them. Then, they shouted with vigilance, "Who are you? Why are you following them so sneakily?"1

As expected of brother and sister, even their tone of speaking was the same.

Jiang Zhennan's forehead wrinkled, and his temples were throbbing.

It was a joke that he would one day be treated as a bad person.

Jiang Zhennan's voice was low, magnetic, and full of charm, but he said through gritted teeth, "You've all misunderstood. I'm not a bad person. I'm a friend of Miss Yue 'Er."

"Miss Yue 'Er?" Liu Jiaying and her brother didn't realize he was referring to Lin Yuelan.

However, Zhou Wencai reacted when he heard Jiang Zhennan's voice. He immediately bowed and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, young master Nan. I didn't recognize you and mistook you for a bad person." Of course, he was just saying that. Earlier, he was wearing a mask, and now he was wearing a veil. Who would be able to recognize him?

The moment Zhou Wencai said that, Liu Jiaying immediately recalled the silver-masked man she had seen at Lin Yuelan's house.

She immediately stood up from behind Liu Qi and pointed at Jiang Zhennan. "Are you the young master Nan who wore a silver mask at Yuelan's place?"

Jiang Zhennan replied in a low voice, "yes!"

When Lin Yuelan introduced them to him, she also used the name Nan Zhenjiang.

Liu Qi had never met Jiang Zhennan before. Therefore, he was a little confused. 'If this man isn't a bad person but a friend of Miss Lin, why is he dressed up like this? Is he trying to cause a misunderstanding?'

Hearing Jiang Zhennan's acknowledgment, Liu Jiaying immediately patted her chest and said with a sigh of relief, "that really scared me. I thought you were a bad guy." Then, she tilted her head and complained, "but why are you following us without saying a word?"

Jiang Zhennan was usually a cold and stern person with few words. It was only after meeting Lin Yuelan that he opened up a bit. However, that didn't mean that he was suddenly a master conversationalist. He was stumped when questioned by Liu Jiaying.

Lin Yuelan had been ignoring him because he had dropped her earlier. Thus, he had been silently following her. Could he admit that? Of course not.

But...

Liu Jiaying thought of the rumors she had heard in the crowd. Liu Jiaying immediately said loudly, "Wait. I remember! Just before manager Li's shop opened, someone saw a man in a black veil throw a girl to the ground. Is that you?"

Nan Zhenjiang was probably the only one who was wearing a Black Veil. In that case, could the girl he had thrown out be Lin Yuelan?

Liu Qi and Zhou Wencai stared at Jiang Zhennan with suspicion. Then, they looked at Lin Yuelan with sympathy.

Liu Qi stuttered, "Miss Lin, this ... This can't be, right?" She had been thrown out by a man in public. It was so embarrassing.

Lin Yuelan refused to admit anything. Her expression did not change as she calmly said, "Men and women should maintain a respectful distance from each other." So, basically, Young Master Nan threw her off for her reputation. 

Liu Qi and Zhou Wencai nodded with strange expressions. They replied, "Oh, right."

Liu Jiaying was a little more innocent. She asked doubtfully, "but even so, he should have gently put you down and not thrown you away." Her tone was filled with dissatisfaction and anger.

Jiang Zhennan was stunned. He didn't know how to explain it.

"Ahem ..." Liu Qi and Zhou Wencai tried to suppress their laughter and faked a few coughs.

Zhou Wencai helped Jiang Zhennan and explained, "Ying 'Er, perhaps Young Master Nan did want to put Miss Lin down properly, but he slipped and accidentally dropped her... Ahem... Am I right, young master Nan?"
