Chapter 229: The More One Tries to Justify Himself, the Worse He Looks
Ye Yao’s expression stiffened.
Shen Weiyi said, "Lady Ye, I don’t quite understand what you mean. What do you mean by you didn’t know things would turn out this way? I remember making it very clear that day. It’s not impossible for me to drop the charges, as long as you make a public apology, I will not pursue the matter further. It was you, Lady Ye, who vehemently disagreed, which is why Shen Zhe had to take the blame and was taken away by the police. I thought Lady Ye valued her own face more than her boyfriend’s, preferring to have her boyfriend detained rather than admit her own mistakes in public. It turns out I was wrong; it wasn’t for your own face, but for your cousin’s, making it seem as if you sisters’ faces are precious, but our Shen Family’s face is not?"
"I didn’t mean that," Ye Yao’s eyes flashed with panic.
Her original intention was to extricate herself from the situation, but instead, she found herself sinking deeper into trouble.
It was all Shen Weiyi’s fault, that despicable girl.
Ye Yao couldn’t help but hate Shen Weiyi once again in her heart, wondering how she could be so difficult to deal with.
Shen Tan sneered from the side, "What’s going on? My brother was getting along just fine; how could he possibly be at odds with his own sisters? So it’s all because you’ve been stirring up trouble. You sure are devoted to sisterly affection, protecting your cousin so well, yet causing disunity in our family, turning siblings against each other, and even getting my brother detained. How can you, as a woman, be so scheming?"
"I didn’t, I’m not, you’ve misunderstood..." Ye Yao’s face turned even paler as she hurriedly explained.
But not a single person wanted to hear her speak.
