“Xiang Yi Mo! Why did you push Yan’er?” He questioned with unconcealed anger.
The little girl being accused looked at him in bewilderment. Her dumbfounded little face was instantly at a loss for words. Her defensive voice carried a slight tremor, “Elder Brother Chu, no, I didn’t. I…”
She took a few steps towards the man in bewilderment but was sternly reprimanded by the man in the same spot.
At this moment, it was just after eleven o’clock at noon.
Even during working hours, the three of them were making such a big commotion in the corridor, not to mention that the vast majority of the employees were going out to eat during this lunch break right now… It would naturally attract the attention of anyone who was passing by.
It was unclear whose line of sight was in the dark and in the light. One after another, from all directions, there was a crowd eating melons and watching the show.
No one could have imagined that there would be such a melodramatic drama in Shangcheng, which had been peaceful ever since Miss Xiang was sent out after she returned for less than half a day.
The spectators were clicking their tongues and finding it amazing inwardly.
“Do you remember how many times you’ve said that kind of thing? Xiang Yi Mo.” Qin Chu raised his voice. His tone carried an extraordinarily deliberate sneer as well as a grim smile.
He continued, “I can believe you if it was once or twice. I trust that you, Xiang Yi Mo, might not have meant it.”
“Yet time and time again, you always innocently said you didn’t after you hurt Yan’er right under my nose.”
“I have even seen you several times with my own eyes how you bullied Yan’er! Xiang Yi Mo, you say you didn’t, and if you didn’t do it, then what was it? Was it all an accident?”
“How come there are so many accidents? And all those things you said in your defence… Even if you aren’t tired of saying it, I’m getting tired of hearing it.”
Xiang Yi Mo pursed her lips hard. Her small face turned pale. A pair of eyes were swimming with water, seemingly wanting to cry as she held back her tears.
“No, Elder Brother Chu. I didn’t push her. I don’t like her, but I really didn’t push her.”
While Xiang Yi Mo was trying to defend herself, Qi Yan also interjected, “Qin Chu, don’t be like that. Younger Sister Yi Mo really didn’t push me. It was due to my own carelessness….”
Before the woman could finish her words, Xiang Yi Mo looked like she couldn’t listen to her anymore. “Shut up! You don’t have to pretend here!”
The sound that fell on the man’s ears was undoubtedly—
Adding fuel to the fire!
Qin Chu rebuked her sternly, saying that enough was enough.
“Xiang Yi Mo! How did you become what you are now? Are you still the same Mo Mo I know?”
The man was still asking himself this rhetorically in the back of his mind.
Is that arrogant and haughty little girl really the same well-behaved little sister he used to know?
He had growing doubts.
It was funny that some time ago after Xiang Yi Mo had been sent out by himself to Ji Company, that little figure that always pestered him and followed him had disappeared, and his heart felt a little weird.
When he calmed down, he wondered if he had misunderstood her.
And now it seemed that it wasn’t a misunderstanding.
“Thanks to Yan’er, she always speaks for you in private every time and never says a word to me about you that isn’t true.”
“Even just now, she mentioned to me that you had always been on her mind, saying that you had worked hard all those times you went to Ji Company, that she hadn’t seen you for a long time and wanted to invite you to come and have a meal together at noon.”
“But what about you?” Qin Chu snorted and continued after a pause, “Why on earth did you push Yan’er?!”
Upon hearing these words, Xiang Yi Mo felt choked up. The lips that were slightly parted trembled a little, making her words quiver as she sobbed, “I really didn’t push her. Elder Brother Chu, please believe me. Mo Mo is the one you watched grow up, isn’t she?”
That was what she said.
This was a perfect performance of what it meant to be as lowly as if she was reduced to dust.
“I didn’t know that you were going to invite me to lunch, Elder Brother Chu. I was very unwell. When I saw that she was approaching me and wanted to stop me, I didn’t want to pay attention to her, so I….”
So I just wanted to ignore her to manage to leave on my own.
