Chapter 1685: Cannot Tarnish the Young Lady's Reputation

Jiang Baobao felt a splitting headache.

She did not want the farce to continue, so she said, "You should just focus on your studies; we will handle your sister's affairs."

"Mom..."

"Continue eating."

With something like this happening, how could there be any appetite left to eat?

Li Moning stomped her feet, turned around, and walked back to her room.

Closing the door, Li Moning's beautiful eyes were filled with nothing but crooked ideas!

The sky outside was gloomy, as if it were about to rain.

Xie Wanyi walked hurriedly into the office, preparing to turn on the computer to double-check the blueprints.

But he did not expect a woman to be sitting in the office.

That woman made Xie Wanyi frown, thinking to himself that he must instruct his assistant next time not to allow irrelevant people to enter!

Seeing Xie Wanyi, Xu Nianxin instinctively wanted to greet him with a smile.

But considering the reason she came today, Xu Nianxin immediately put on a pitiful appearance.

Yet Xie Wanyi turned a blind eye to such frailty, saying coldly, "Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me if there's nothing going on!"

"But I was bullied, are you going to do something about it or not!"

"You can be bullied?"

Xie Wanyi's words were full of skepticism.

And his skepticism was well-founded; given Xu Nianxin's personality, it would be a surprise if she weren't the one bullying others.

Xu Nianxin also knew what her usual conduct was like.

But she felt no guilt at all, and raising her eyebrows, she said, "No matter what, I am still a woman! Facing a man, I am at a disadvantage!"

"Fine, then tell me, who bullied you?"

"That man beside Jiang Motian, I think he's called Xiaoshi!"

Xu Nianxin was not the type to swallow her pride.

After suffering a loss that day, she had secretly inquired about the relationship between the two.

Now, she had come specifically to Xie Wanyi to stir up trouble and exaggerate the story!

Suddenly hearing the name Jiang Motian, Xie Wanyi's heartbeat lost its rhythm.

But then hearing the words "Xiaoshi"...

Xie Wanyi's expression turned cold, and he asked, "Why are you looking for Jiang Motian?"

"It's like this, I saw her paintings online and admired them very much, so I wanted to buy a piece to collect."

This was the excuse Xu Nianxin had thought of long ago, and she felt there were no loopholes in it.

After saying this, Xu Nianxin also carefully observed Xie Wanyi's reaction.

Seeing that he had no unusual reaction, she continued, "I went to the Art Studio and only then discovered that she was the person who was pestering you that day."

"She wasn't pestering me."

Xie Wanyi's correction made Xu Nianxin curl her lips, and she asked, "Then what was she looking for you for back then, to chat? It didn't look like it!"

"Don't change the subject, continue with what you were saying!"

Xu Nianxin felt Xie Wanyi's tone was too blunt and wanted to voice her opinion.

But in the current situation...

Even if she brought it up, Xie Wanyi would only be impatient.

So Xu Nianxin counted this dissatisfaction against Jiang Motian.

Returning to the main topic: "I ran into Xiaoshi at that woman's Art Studio; he is so barbaric, he wanted to hit me with a hammer!"

"For no reason at all, he wanted to hit you with a hammer?"

"Yes! Don't you think he's barbaric! From childhood until now, no one has ever dared to bully me like this; you have to stand up for me!"

When Xu Nianxin said this, she sounded very convincing.

But Xie Wanyi could be certain that Xu Nianxin was definitely not telling the truth.

Xie Wanyi did not want to get involved in this mess either, so he said, "You didn't suffer any losses, so let it go."

"Who says I didn't suffer any losses? I was so scared that I keep having nightmares!"

"Then I'll send you back to your father."

"You... even if you send me away, the trauma is still there; if it's not resolved, this trauma will stay with me for the rest of my life!"

Xu Nianxin was determined to make Xie Wanyi stand up for her.

If Xie Wanyi still didn't agree, she was prepared to feign depression and take out that forged psychological diagnosis report to play the victim!

Xie Wanyi was very annoyed by such unreasonable behavior.

He frowned unconsciously and then asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"Make Xiaoshi and Jiang Motian apologize to me and make amends!"

"It's understandable that you want Xiaoshi to apologize, but why include Jiang Motian?"

"Because that woman and Xiaoshi are in cahoots!"

Thinking of something, Xu Nianxin added maliciously, "There must be something going on between those two!"

These ulterior-motivated words made Xie Wanyi's eyes flicker slightly.

Afterward, he stared at Xu Nianxin very seriously without saying a word.

Xu Nianxin felt a chill from being stared at, and after shifting her body uncomfortably, she asked, "Why, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Is it right to tarnish a young lady's reputation like this?"

Xu Nianxin did not feel there was anything wrong with herself.

She lifted her chin and shouted righteously: "I am speaking the truth! That Xiaoshi definitely likes Jiang Motian; otherwise, why would a grown man hang around her side!"

Like...

Xie Wanyi suddenly became very irritable.

This irritability even seeped out from the depths of his eyes.

Xu Nianxin noticed the change in his mood.

But she only thought her smear campaign had worked, so she pressed on: "The two of them are singing the same tune, it's too much; you have to stand up for me!"

This time, Xie Wanyi did not directly refuse.

Instead, he said: "I need to get to the bottom of the truth before I decide whether to help."

"Then I'll take you to Jiang Motian's Art Studio, and we can confront them face-to-face!"

As Xu Nianxin spoke, she reached out to grab Xie Wanyi's wrist.

But Xie Wanyi dodged and said coldly: "I am very busy right now and have no time; when I have a free moment, I will go myself."

"But..."

"Have you finished saying what you needed to say?"

Xu Nianxin saw that Xie Wanyi wanted to kick her out, but she really did not want to leave just like that.

However, no matter how she bit her lower lip or how shy and coy she acted, Xie Wanyi remained unmoved.

In his eyes, there was none of the softness he showed when facing Jiang Motian.

At the thought of the scene she had seen that day...

Xu Nianxin felt a tightness in her chest!

She no longer had the mood to be affected or pretentious, and said sullenly: "Then I won't disturb you anymore; let's stay in touch when there is news!"

Xu Nianxin left with a gloomy expression.

And Xie Wanyi did not pay attention to what expression was on Xu Nianxin's face when she left.

At this moment, Xie Wanyi was only thinking about one question: What exactly are Xiaoshi's intentions toward Jiang Motian?

Intuition told Xie Wanyi that the one called Xiaoshi had secrets.

It was a pity that Jiang Motian had no defenses against him at all.

The Li Family also did not seem to have taken any action against Xiaoshi.

Leaving such an unstable factor by Jiang Motian's side was truly dangerous.

Then, perhaps...

Xie Wanyi thought of something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

After leaving the Li Family that day, Xiaoshi had been in low spirits.

It was only after Jiang Motian comforted him in various ways that he felt a little better.

Today, Xiaoshi came to the Art Studio again to help take care of the flowers and plants here.

But after he had been busy for only a little while, Jiang Motian said: "The injury on your hand hasn't fully healed yet, so don't water the flowers."
