Chapter 550 Threat Exposed (5)_1
Hearing a voice that did not support her, Meng Chunyan huffed dismissively, pretending not to hear.
Lin Yuan watched her ostrich-like behavior and couldn’t help but shake her head; Meng Chunyan was truly foolish to the extreme. In her current condition, she should have hurried home to get it sorted out, but instead, she flaunted herself down an entire street.
"Miss Meng, may I ask which carriage hit you?"
Xia He had already told her everything about the morning’s incident without missing a word. Although she hadn’t clearly seen Meng Chunyan get hit, Xia He had later inquired with the coachmen and learned about Meng Chunyan purposefully allowing the carriage to collide with theirs.
Seeing that she was being questioned, Meng Chunyan pointed at the luxurious sandalwood carriage parked beside them, and jeeringly exclaimed, "Which one? Of course, it’s this one! Lin Yuan, don’t even think about denying it. Just now, quite a few people saw your carriage smash into mine!"
"Miss Meng, are you sure it was this carriage that damaged yours?" Challenged every step of the way, Lin Yuan was far from appearing anxious; she crossed her arms and leisurely observed her.
Meng Chunyan’s confidence wavered in the face of Lin Yuan’s calm demeanor. However, upon reflection, she remembered clearly seeing Lin Yuan’s maid sticking her head out; even if Lin Yuan was not inside, it had to be one of Lin Yuan’s family members. Therefore, in her view, Lin Yuan’s relaxed posture was all just a pretense of composure.
Secretly guessing at Lin Yuan’s inner turmoil, Meng Chunyan couldn’t help but take pleasure in anticipation, thinking that soon Lin Yuan would guiltily invite her into a room, treat her to food and drink, and then gently inquire about a resolution. That way, she could rightfully demand compensation—yes, she would take this particular carriage. Although it was not as attractive or luxurious as her own, it was certainly sturdy; it managed to wreck her newly bought carriage, so it must be of good quality.
"Yes, that’s the one!" Meng Chunyan nodded.
