Chapter 154: What Does It Have to Do With Him?

Jing Jing'er clung to Yun Ruojin's side, furrowing her brows as she looked at Lu Xiwán.

She didn't notice anything special about this woman.

Yun Ruojin quickly tugged Jing Jing'er's hand and said, "A Jue treats her like a precious eye; we shouldn't even say another word!"

Jing Jing'er disagreed and slapped Yun Ruojin's hand with the back of her own.

"How come I never noticed you were this cowardly when we were abroad?"

"She's just a woman without a family backing her; what storm could she possibly stir up?"

"Even President Fu loves her as much as he does, can he ignore the family's opinion?"

Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Yun Ruojin's eyes flicked, and a bold idea surfaced in her mind.

She affectionately looped her arm around Jing Jing'er's, giggling as she explained herself.

"My family is all abroad; I'm just being cautious, that's all."

Jing Jing'er snorted, glared at Yun Ruojin irritably, and said, "What's there to be afraid of?"

"With my uncle and aunt gone, I am your backing; I don't believe that woman can be that formidable."

"What I can't stand the most are those who rely on their looks to flirt with men! They really think they're some kind of role."

After speaking, Jing Jing'er grabbed Yun Ruojin and walked toward Lu Xiwán.

No matter how Yun Ruojin tugged from behind, she couldn't hold her back.

Of course, she didn't truly intend to let Jing Jing'er act recklessly.

Jing Jing'er struttily pulled Yun Ruojin to stand before Lu Xiwán, showing not the slightest fear of Fu Sijue.

"Are you the one who's always bullied Xiao Jin?"

The blunt question almost made Lu Xiwán lose her composure.

She was deeply suspicious; the version she heard from the person before her didn't match hers.

Lu Xiwán smiled faintly, her gaze landing on Yun Ruojin.

"Miss Yun, do you think I bullied you?"

Yun Ruojin shrank back behind, too scared to speak.

In Jing Jing'er's eyes, it was simply succumbing to Lu Xiwán's overbearing authority.

"What are you doing? Don't think that just because you have someone behind you, and her family is absent, you can bully her!"

"I'm telling you, I am her backing!"

Jing Jing'er's words rang out powerfully, and many people nearby heard them.

Facing her public accusation, Lu Xiwán merely looked at her with indifferent composure.

"Then tell me, what did I do?"

Yun Ruojin looked pitiful, hiding behind Jing Jing'er, too bullied to even speak.

Lu Xiwán understood Yun Ruojin better than anyone present.

It was nothing more than voicing her own thoughts through another person.

Jing Jing'er was merely a troublemaker in her eyes.

In the end, Jing Jing'er was the truly naive one.

Yun Ruojin was far from as innocent as she seemed.

"You... don't think your silver tongue will make me clueless about how to deal with you!"

"Miss Jing keeps calling me a ten‑times wicked person, yet she can't state a single concrete charge; this makes it hard for me to accept the accusation forced upon me!"

Lu Xiwán spoke calmly, leaving Jing Jing'er speechless.

Yun Ruojin timely stepped in as a peacemaker, "It's all a misunderstanding by Jing; I truly didn't mean it, A Jue..."

Fu Sijue, suddenly prompted,...

What does this have to do with him?

"President Fu, you must have heard the rumors outside, right?"
