My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss - Chapter 41
Chapter 41: She Did So On Purpose
“Is Second Young Lady Chu here as well?” The reporters were surprised when they heard Chu Wuyou’s reply.
“Mm, my sister’s here. She accompanied me down the stairs earlier.” A wide grin spread across Chu Wuyou’s face as she turned and directed her gaze at the place where Chu Ninger was standing. “Sis is there.”
Chu Wuyou’s reply forced Chu Ninger to stop herself from sneaking away.
She was standing in a corner towards the east side which was not a good hiding spot for her.
“Why are you running away, Sis? Did the reporters frighten you?” Chu Wuyou purposefully yelled at her.
The reporters initially thought that it was weird for Chu Ninger to have kept her distance away from the crowd and they felt skeptical of her actions. Upon hearing Chu Wuyou’s words, everyone began to form opinions.
“Since the Second Young Lady of the Chu family accompanied First Young Lady Chu, why didn’t she come to her elder sister’s aid when she was harassed just now? Why did she hide at a faraway place? She knew that First Young Lady Chu had just recovered. So how could she stand there and do nothing?”
“Yeah, how strange. I heard that Second Young Lady Chu is intelligent and kind but instead of helping her elder sister, she kept her distance from the crowd.”
Chu Ninger walked towards the crowd despite her reluctance.
“Are you here to enjoy the show, Second Young Lady Chu?” The reporters surrounded her at once and became even more hysterical.
“I heard Young Master He backed out of the engagement because of you. You were already with Young Master He at that time Second Young Lady Chu. Is that true?”
“Are you the other woman, Second Young Lady Chu?”
“You knew very well that Young Master He and your sister were engaged, Second Young Lady Chu. Why were you still with him?”
The reporters became more inquisitive as they asked more invasive questions.
The crowd only wanted to witness a person’s fall as she landed face-first onto the ground. This sort of happening and turn of events was the most exciting.
Chu Ninger had always been good at acting so no one could find fault with her. The reporters now had their chance.
Judging from the whole situation, she would be at fault no matter what she answered. It would also mean that she admitted to every accusation if she kept quiet.
She was in a sticky situation right now.
Her expression eventually changed despite her great ability in acting.
“You’d better leave now, Sis. The doctor said that you’ve just recovered and shouldn’t be subjected to shock.” Chu Ninger continued to act as the good girl to divert the crowd’s attention. She wanted to shift their focus onto her sister again.
She thought that by saying so, her sister would end up with two options. Chu Wuyou would surely divert the reporters’ attention if she said that she would stay. Moreover, Chu Ninger could also divert their questions and switch to the topic of sisterly love.
If Chu Wuyou decided to leave, it meant that she did not care about her younger sister. She would certainly be attacked and this would grab the reporters’ attention as well.
Chu Ninger hoped that Chu Wuyou would leave, then she would…
“Mm, alright, I’ll leave first.” Nonetheless, Chu Wuyou replied in a no-nonsense manner. She reacted sincerely in a matter-of-fact attitude. It was so sincere that nobody thought that something was wrong.
Furthermore, she always maintained her look of innocence and purity. No one could ever doubt or blame her. She also had a set of tools in her hand!
Everyone felt that it was natural and harmonious for Chu Wuyou to leave.
Ye Lanchen snorted. Innocent and pure?!
Was she innocent and pure to carry a set of tools to threaten the reporters and caused them to give in to her?!
Was she innocent and pure to quietly pin the blame onto Chu Ninger and cause the latter to be trapped in an awkward situation while she slips away unpunished?!
Ye Lanchen had a strong feeling that Chu Wuyou had planned all of this right from the start. Why else would she buy a set of tools of all things?
Does she even need all these as the elder daughter of the Chu family?
The tools were even sealed in a transparent pouch.
If one were to call it a coincidence, then it was so coincidental that it felt suspicious!
It might be possible to cure someone within five years but it was impossible to completely change a person.
Ye Lanchen suddenly felt that something was fishy about the incident five years ago. Perhaps his judgment was never wrong back then. The woman that night was Chu Wuyou!
