Chapter 97: Cannot Enter
"Hiding a man? What nonsense are you spouting? My Xiao Li hasn’t even gotten married, how could she possibly be hiding a man in her room?" Mrs. Cheng yelled at Jiang Xue.
"Isn’t she?" Jiang Xue looked skeptical and said, "If not, why won’t Cheng Li let us in?"
"Let you into Xiao Li’s room? Who knows what your intentions are? If you go in and place something that shouldn’t be there, who could clarify it later?"
"So you’re just worried about me going in alone. That’s easy to solve. Isn’t Sister Ying here? She can go in with me. Of course, if you’re still worried, you can come with us."
"Fine, let’s go in. Who’s afraid of whom?" Mrs. Cheng was provoked by Jiang Xue’s words and fell for it instantly. To her, reputation was more important than anything.
She was hoping Cheng Li could marry a good man. What if her reputation was ruined, where would she find a good man to marry afterward?
Jiang Xue was waiting for these words, smiled at Mrs. Cheng, and said, "But you said it, we’re going in."
After saying this, she turned to Cheng Ying and said, "Sister Ying, let’s go in."
Cheng Ying, although she didn’t know Jiang Xue’s intentions, chose to trust her. She nodded and said, "Alright, let’s go in and take a look."
"No, you can’t go in!" Cheng Li, seeing the two really about to enter her room, panicked and rushed to block them.
"Won’t let us in?" Jiang Xue raised an eyebrow, looked at Cheng Li, then said to Mrs. Cheng, "Could it be that I guessed right? Is there really a wild man in the room?"
