Chapter 122 The Strong Scent of Green Tea
Shen Luo actually obeyed and stood up, walking towards where An Rui was sitting.
"No apology allowed!" An Ling strode quickly between them and blocked Shen Luo's path.
An Ling pulled Shen Luo back in front of Yun Xiaoyue, "Shen Luo has done nothing to wrong An Rui. What is your purpose in doing this today? Just say it directly."
"What purpose could I possibly have?" Yun Xiaoyue denied. "I just felt that the way things were handled yesterday was too much. You clearly had no evidence, so how could you conclude that An Rui was bullying him? If we're being honest, it was An Rui and the others who were forced to leave the group who had their dreams ruined. As his family, shouldn't you consider his feelings more?"
“He has no dreams whatsoever,” An Ling’s temper was ignited by Yun Xiaoyue, this inexplicable person. “He just wants to be a star and show off!”
[Didn't An Rui used to look down on me and my second brother for being in the entertainment industry? He thought we were just actors, there to entertain people, while he was only thinking about inheriting the An family business!]
[He was slapped in the face by reality and found that with his older brother in the An family, he had no chance at all. He then started to envy my and my second brother's fame and wanted to enter the entertainment industry.]
But he lacks acting skills, and his singing and dancing are even worse. That's why he can only try his luck in talent shows. After all, there are plenty of people with insufficient talent in these shows, so they won't make him look too incompetent.
"Who doesn't have dreams!" An Rui suddenly jumped up and shouted.
He was woken up early this morning by his family and pulled into the living room. When he saw that it was Shen Luo's family, he thought they had come to interrogate him again.
When Shen Luo's mother explained her purpose, even he was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe Yun Xiaoyue's words at all, and thought that she had other requests or was deliberately retreating to advance while actually having other ulterior motives.
That's why An Rui didn't dare to express his opinion, fearing he would fall into their trap.
As he listened, he realized that Yun Xiaoyue seemed to have genuinely come to seek justice for him.
Can such a bizarre windfall really fall from the sky?
Wouldn't he be a complete idiot if he didn't grab it and bite it?
“I think Shen Luo’s mother is right. You didn’t believe what I said yesterday. Now that even Shen Luo himself has said that I didn’t bully him, why don’t you still believe me? Do you have to pin all these unfounded accusations on me?”
An Rui tried his best to appear innocent.
He really couldn't understand it, since there was no substantial evidence to begin with.
Even though An Ling led the An family to the men's restroom, they didn't actually witness him hitting someone.
Yesterday, An Rui had nothing to say because Shen Luo, the victim, also believed that they had bullied him. But today, even Shen Luo said that he had accidentally bumped into something and had not been bullied at all. Why is the An family still unwilling to use this point to clear his name of the bullying?
He didn't care why Shen Luo changed her mind after just one night, and even offered to apologize to him instead.
He only cared about why the An family seemed to be on Shen Luo's side, especially An Ling, who was the culprit in this matter!
If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have gotten that beating from my dad!
"Shut up!" An Ling shouted fiercely at An Rui. "Do you even have the right to speak here?"
She was genuinely worried. If her family actually believed Yun Xiaoyue and An Rui's lies, who knew if things would develop just like the original story?
"Why can't I speak!" An Rui cried out in grievance. "I know you don't like me, but you can't treat me like this. What did I do to deserve this? I'm still your brother, aren't I?"
“You know what you’ve done,” An Ling said, now having a new appreciation for An Rui’s ability to lie through his teeth. “I don’t have a brother like you!”
The An family members all knew that An Ling's anger was understandable, so none of them stopped her. Instead, Yun Xiaoyue suddenly spoke up at this moment.
"An Ling, right?"
She adopted the demeanor of an elder.
"Even if you are not An Rui's biological sister, you were still raised by the An family, and the An family has been kind to you. How can you speak to An Rui in this way after you know that you are the one who has taken over the family's place?"
Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?
The faces of everyone else in the An family immediately darkened, but An Rui alone looked delighted that someone was finally speaking up for him, excitedly echoing:
"Yes!"
But he had only uttered those two words when An Shuhai roared "Shut up!" and he shrank back down.
“Yun Xiaoyue,” An Shuhai called Yun Xiaoyue by her full name for the first time today, “Xiaoling is my daughter, not some kind of dove! I hope you will watch your words. You have no right to interfere in my family’s affairs.”
No one would find anything wrong with what An Shuhai said. After all, it was his daughter who had been spoken ill of, so it was normal for him to be angry.
But Yun Xiaoyue seemed to be struck by those words. She looked at An Shuhai with an incredulous expression and murmured in a hurt tone:
"You actually yelled at me like that?"
"Yes, I was presumptuous. I shouldn't have brought up your family matters. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and our relationship has long since faded. To you, I am indeed an outsider."
The An family members were all stunned after hearing this, including An Shuhai.
What did he say? What does Yun Xiaoyue mean by that?
There wasn't a single wrong word in what he just said.
【Um? 】
【what's the situation? 】
[The green tea flavor is so strong, Yun Xiaoyue's reaction is strange...]
Based on my years of experience reading articles, there's definitely something wrong here!
[My dad and Yun Xiaoyue are childhood friends, right? Could it be that they had a past relationship?]
An Shuhai's pupils dilated in shock, and he instantly turned to Pei Yuning and said:
"Wife! I..."
Before An Shuhai could finish speaking, Pei Yuning covered his mouth.
Although Pei Yuning was smiling at him, An Shuhai could read a warning in her eyes: If you dare to say another word that makes Xiaoling suspicious, just wait!
An Shuhai could only swallow the word "no" back down his throat.
Seeing that he could not directly deny it, An Shuhai could only use other methods to prove his innocence.
He removed Pei Yuning's hand from his mouth and held it in his own, then turned back to look at Yun Xiaoyue, carefully choosing his tone as he spoke:
"The reason we haven't seen each other for so many years is because you and Honghui left Haicheng, so we had fewer opportunities to meet. I still don't know why you suddenly moved away from Haicheng."
Seeing An Shuhai and Pei Yuning acting so intimately, a shadow crossed Yun Xiaoyue's eyes, and she couldn't help but blurt out a sentence.
"Isn't my move away from Haicheng because of you?"
