Chapter 218 - 217: Broken Marriage-II
On the way, Li Lian met with Ren Linliu and Jin Nu Yuan. Before the two could give downgrade words to Li Lian, they saw Mrs. Sun and a woman entering to a room and as Li Lian entered the room, they followed to the room.
"What happened?" Jin Nu Yuan questioned in cluelessness. She didn’t know what happened and it was best to ask first so she could elaborate more in badmouthing Li Lian’s rash behavior.
Mrs. Sun who had placed the woman on the chair came and held her hand, "Thank you Mrs. Li, for saving my guest. It was part of my fault for not being able to stop him from entering inside."
Li Lian smiled at the woman’s thanked and then asked, "Is she alright now?" The woman still seemed to be frightened and Li Lian couldn’t blame her. For a woman to be slapped in the cheek by a man with a larger frame than pushed to the ground must have shock the woman greatly.
"I will be calling a doctor to help," Mrs. Sun’s eyes moved behind and closed the door behind her as she didn’t want the rumors to get awry when there were many women in the tea party who would love to have more rumors for them to enjoy at their table.
Ren Linliu who still didn’t understand asked, "Did something happened?" and her question fall not to Li Lian but Mrs. Sun.
The woman was troubled to reply but not replying would be rude and she kept her words short, "A guest of mine was attacked and fortunately, Mrs. Li came to help her." Mrs. Sun then bowed at Violet who came as she saw the woman helped by apprehending the man. "Thank you once again, if it wasn’t for your help, I can’t imagine what could have happen. It must be worse than this." and before Ren Linliu or Jin Nu Yuan stacked questions on her plate, Mrs. Sun reached out her hand and say, "Please continue and enjoy the tea party misses, it would be bad for me to have my guests wait over my fault." Seeing the two women didn’t budge, Mrs. Sun gave a troubled expression and pressed, "Please."
After the second please did Ren Linliu and Jin Nu Yuan went from the place. They had thought it would be a great time for them to comment and drop remarks of Li Lian for their joy but to know that Li Lian had instead saved someone had their hope broken.
When Ren Linliu and Jin Nu Yuan went, Li Lian turned her face at Mrs. Sun, "Would it be alright for me to ask what happen?" From what she could see it was a family affair and she had asked because of how the man had spoken to the woman.
Mrs. Sun crossed her arm and sighed, "I suppose it should be alright to speak to you, Mrs. Li. I trust you wouldn’t speak about this to others," and by others she meant the women in the seating room who would love to receive a drop of gossips which they could twist and turn to their liking.
"Thank you for your words," Li Lian replied. To be trusted in their first meeting was her honor for her as trust was hard for anyone to have in a first meeting. "I promise I wouldn’t, I know it is not for me to speak."
