Chapter 1486: Self-Embarrassment (2)
Gu Xijiu was determined to press her hard, so Mrs. Yan had no escape. "About that..." Suddenly, she changed her tone. "Seems like Miss Gu is trying to stand up for Waihu for her mistreatment. Nevermind, I will take it as my fault. I will personally apologize to Waihu, and we shall let the incident go."
Gu Xijiu gave her a sarcastic smile. "You can’t answer? Is it because you are guilty? Is it really so hard to tell us what happened?"
Mrs. Yan remained quiet.
When Mrs. Yan first told them about the incidents, the crowd thought that it was entirely Lan Waihu’s fault. They assumed that her reckless actions were because of Yan Chen, as he kept favoring her with endless tolerance. Seeing Mrs. Yan’s reluctant response changed their minds about the assumption, as they gradually grew suspicious.
There was hardly any peace in Tianju Hall, as the people there often indulged in fighting for fun. Sometimes, they would even prank one another. However, if an outsider mistreated any of them, they would unite and be bound by common hatred against the same enemy.
Yan Chen was a respectable man amongst them. Hence, they would show due respect for his mother. However, if his mother purposely confused them, they would definitely stand up for Lan Waihu’s justice.
Some of them started to request for the incident to be thoroughly discussed for everyone’s sake.
Mrs. Yan did not expect the incident would become so elaborate. Her composure started to fade. "Is there anything so difficult to talk about? I don’t want to embarrass anyone. Yan Chen and Waihu are brother and sister, after all. By the way, have you seen Yan Chen? Why isn’t he here?"
She tried very hard to change the subject, but it did not work. A voice answered her from outside the hall. "I am here."
Yan Chen walked into the hall. On his way in, he greeted everyone he saw. Then, he turned to look at his mother, fixedly. "Mother, I would like to know the details of the whole incident. I hope you can tell it to everyone here today."
