Chapter 805: Don’t Frame Me

Sister Xia could tell from Director Chen’s attitude that he didn’t believe what she said. She felt that Li Yue would never do such a thing.

Since that was the case, she didn’t need to say anything more. After following Director Chen out of the room, she said a few simple words and went to the new room to take care of Jiang Yu.

“How is it? You’re not frightened, were you?” Sister Xia walked into the room and saw Jiang Yu half leaning against the headboard. She was still flipping through the script in her hand.

Jiang Yu put the script aside. “I’m fine. It’s not a big deal. You were the one who took the clothes and the bug fell out. You were the one who was most scared.”

“It’s not small.” Sister Xia still had lingering fear, “I think you’ve heard Director Chen say that it’s a poisonous hook beetle. Its poison is comparable to the most poisonous cobra. But it’s a tropical insect. Why would it appear here? I really can’t figure it out no matter how I think about it.”

“What exactly happened is already very clear,” Jiang Yu said. “There’s a beetle in the cotton-padded jacket that Li Yue sent over. It wants to kill me.”

“I know.” Sister Xia sighed. “But I’m afraid that no one will believe that she’s the one who did it. I just told Director Chen, but he thinks that Li Yue doesn’t have the guts to touch that bug.”

This was indeed the first thought that most people had when they found out about this matter.

Such a big bug, Jiang Yu and Sister Xia had yet to deal with it. How could Li Yue, who was alone, dare to put such a big bug into her cotton-padded clothes?

“That’s true.” Jiang Yu leaned against the headboard. “No matter who hears about this, they won’t think that Li Yue did it.”

“And even if we call her over to confront her, she won’t admit it,” Sister Xia said.

“Indeed.” Jiang Yu sighed. She didn’t know how to find evidence to prove that Li Yue did it.

But Li Yue didn’t seem to know about this. At night, she knocked on Jiang Yu’s door. “Jiang Yu, are you resting?”

Sister Xia was helping Jiang Yu tidy up when she heard Li Yue knocking on the door. She was a little confused.

“Why is she here?” Sister Xia asked Jiang Yu softly. “Did she come to see if anything happened to you?”

“I don’t know.” Jiang Yu shook her head. “But since she’s here, she must be a guest. Let her in first.”

“Okay.” Sister Xia opened the door and saw Li Yue dressed up. She was wearing a pair of black gloves as she stood at the door.

Sister Xia was a little speechless by her outfit but she did not comment on it. Instead, she opened a path for her. “Come in.”

Li Yue did not say “Thank you” and just walked in.

She walked straight to Jiang Yu’s side and bent down to look at her expression.

However, Jiang Yu’s expression was very calm and there was no difference from usual. She couldn’t help but feel puzzled. “Jiang Yu, are you alright? I heard from Director Chen that there’s a very big bug in your room!”

“It’s nothing serious. Although the bug is poisonous, it’s very scary.” Jiang Yu looked straight into Li Yue’s eyes, trying to get some clues from it.

However, Li Yue felt a little guilty and didn’t dare to look straight into Jiang Yu’s eyes. Instead, she turned her head away and said awkwardly, “Since you’re alright, that’s good. I’ll go back first.”

“Don’t be too anxious. Sit down for a while before you leave.” Jiang Yu patted the seat beside her, “No matter what, you’re the one who sent me the cotton-padded jacket. It can be considered a gift at any rate. If I let you go just like that and didn’t ask you to stay, it would seem that I’m being unreasonable.”

“What cotton-padded jacket?” Li Yue didn’t admit that she was the one who sent the cotton-padded jacket. “I’ve never given you something like this before, right?”

“Why not? That bug fell out from the cotton-padded jacket you gave her,” Sister Xia said coldly.

“Really? Why don’t I remember that I gave you a cotton-padded jacket?” Li Yue smiled awkwardly and began to act as if she had lost her memory. “Jiang Yu, you must have remembered wrongly. I heard that you were injured and many people came to see you. They also gave you gifts. Did you remember me and them wrongly?”

“Don’t pretend to be ignorant.” Jiang Yu sneered. “Someone gave me a cotton-padded jacket in the middle of the summer. How could I not remember who it was?”

“But you can’t frame me. And even if that cotton-padded jacket was really given by me, that bug couldn’t have been put in by me, right?” Li Yue said matter-of-factly, it was as if she really didn’t do it herself.

But Jiang Yu knew that Li Yue was the one who put that bug in there. And someone must have helped her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the chance to obtain such a tropical insect.
