If facing Ye Leng’an, Master Zhongyu would have certainly retorted. However, the current adversary was Huangfu Ruiling, necessitating an abundance of caution.

Although Huangfu Ruiling was young, in the Hidden World, strength reigned supreme. Huangfu Ruiling’s strength surpassed his own, so when facing Huangfu Ruiling, he couldn’t be as assertive as he was with Ye Leng’an.

Nevertheless, as heads of prominent families, they were ostensibly equals. Yet, facing Huangfu Ruiling, he exhibited timidity, provoking his ire.

Turning his gaze towards the culprit, Zhongyu Jiarui, he shot a reproachful glance before demanding, “Jiarui, explain. What’s the matter here?”

Feeling her father’s accusing eyes, Zhongyu Jiarui couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness. She knew her father blamed her.

Yet, considering she stood on the side of justice this time, having been injured because of it, she regained her composure. She recounted everything she witnessed in the restroom, claiming to have seen Ye Leng’an injure Ye Wanwan with her own eyes.

Today, she vowed to tarnish Ye Leng’an’s reputation, especially upon witnessing her own wrist’s unnatural position, fueling her hatred. Yet, her animosity was directed at Ye Leng’an, not Huangfu Ruiling. In her view, it was Ye Leng’an’s instigation that led to Huangfu Ruiling’s actions.

As Zhongyu Jiarui spoke, many glanced at Ye Leng’an with suspicion. Who would have thought Ye Leng’an would be so audacious, injuring someone at such an event? And to make matters worse, the victim was Ye Wanwan, the Ye family’s young lady.

Though Master Zhongyu’s expression soured, he stepped forward to defend Zhongyu Jiarui. “Master Huangfu, Miss Ye, my daughter merely spoke the truth as she saw it. I don’t understand how that could offend you!”

Though displeased with Zhongyu Jiarui’s interference, they stood on the side of truth for now, sparing Zhongyu Jiarui.

“The truth?” Ye Leng’an sneered. “Master Zhongyu, you should inquire further. Did Zhongyu Jiarui truly witness me injuring Ye Wanwan?”

Hearing this, Master Zhongyu furrowed his brow. Looking at Zhongyu Jiarui once more, he sensed her evasive gaze, causing him to falter.

“Zhongyu Jiarui!” His voice lowered, tinged with a warning. “Tell the truth. Did you witness Ye Leng’an injure Ye Wanwan?”

Initially, Zhongyu Jiarui wanted to stick to her story. However, under her father’s stern gaze, she panicked. “I didn’t see Ye Leng’an hurt Ye Wanwan, but they were alone in the restroom. If it wasn’t Ye Leng’an, then who else could it be?”

Her abrupt change in stance raised suspicions among onlookers. Just moments ago, she confidently claimed to have seen it all, now she retracted. It cast doubt on the veracity of her words.

Ye Wanwan, standing weakly nearby, couldn’t help but show displeasure. Zhongyu Jiarui had turned a favorable situation into a debacle. It seemed she truly erred this time, selecting such a foolish witness.

If she’d known, she would have chosen someone unfamiliar.

Master Zhongyu’s anger mounted, especially since the fool before him was family.

Taking a deep breath, he turned to Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an. “While my daughter’s words may be exaggerated, it’s a fact that Miss Ye harmed someone! At the very least, my daughter believed it was Miss Ye. My daughter and Ye Wanwan have always been friends. It’s natural for her to be anxious seeing her friend hurt. Moreover, they have no enmity. She wouldn’t intentionally frame Miss Ye, right?”

He was displeased with Zhongyu Jiarui’s meddling, but he also harbored no fondness for Ye Leng’an.

If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Leng’an was engaged to Huangfu Ruiling, he wouldn’t even refer to a mere girl as Miss Ye.

“How can you be sure there’s no animosity between your daughter and me?” Ye Leng’an quirked a smile. “Did your daughter not tell you about our conflict? It was quite significant.”

Master Zhongyu felt utterly humiliated due to Zhongyu Jiarui’s concealment.

“Don’t divert the topic.” Zhongyu Jiarui’s eyes darted around, and she almost jumped up in agitation. “Ye Leng’an, we’re discussing your injuring Wanwan. Bringing up other matters, are you evading responsibility?”

Though not a direct answer, it was evident Zhongyu Jiarui and Ye Leng’an had prior conflicts! Moreover, it appeared to be substantial!

If that were the case, it was unclear how much of her words were true.

Faced with the gaze of Master Zhongyu and the skeptical looks from the crowd, Zhongyu Jiarui’s back was drenched in cold sweat, feeling as though her gown was about to become soaked.

Feeling flustered, she turned to Ye Wanwan with urgency. “Wanwan, say something! Tell everyone it was Ye Leng’an who injured you! You have to speak the truth.”

Only Ye Wanwan could reveal the truth now. She was the victim, so she knew who harmed her.

Yet, no one could predict if Ye Wanwan would speak, as she seemed inclined to reconcile from the start.

“I…” Ye Wanwan hesitated, unsure how to respond, feeling whatever she said would be wrong.
