Chapter 126 The Clown
He slowly peeled the nuts in his hand and handed them to Han Xin, who was a little lazy beside him.
"This scene is just a bunch of clowns, there's nothing interesting about it."
He Jingchen responded calmly, "By the way, if you receive an invitation to afternoon tea from the Wu family later, please remember to refuse it."
After hearing what He Jingchen said, Han Xin immediately understood what he was worried about. She patted his hand gently and held it tightly as a comfort. "Don't worry, I know exactly how to deal with this kind of thing. You don't need to worry too much about me."
Seeing the worry still on the other person's face, Han Xin couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of idiot who's easily led by others?"
Then, in order to express her dissatisfaction, she deliberately put on an angry look, "Hmph", and turned her head away and ignored He Jingchen beside her.
Seeing his lover's intense reaction, the usually calm He Jingchen panicked instantly and apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Tell me, what compensation do you want? I will do my best to meet your requirements as long as it is within my ability!"
At this time, the series of disturbances happening outside did not have any impact on the close relationship between them.
Guo Yingying, hiding behind Wu Fan, had been unable to bear it any longer. Regardless of whether the situation was appropriate, she began to protest loudly, "You are lying! This is clearly something I took back from that woman's room!"
However, it was too late. Even if Wu Fan tried hard to stop the other party from talking, it was too late.
Helplessly, he could only watch Guo Yingying triumphantly fight back against Su Yuan's accusations.
On the other side, Su Yuan didn't show any surprise after hearing this. Instead, she smiled brightly and asked, "Excuse me, do you know what kind of behavior it is to enter without permission and take away other people's things?"
Yang Sheng, who had been standing by and observing the situation silently, joined in at the right moment and added in a cold voice, "The answer is simple. This is undoubtedly theft."
Faced with the successive attacks from two powerful opponents, Guo Yingying was obviously a little confused.
Despite trying to act nonchalant, he defended himself, "Why do you say it's theft? I was just keeping her things for the time being!"
At this time, Su Yuan did not answer her directly, but turned her head slightly and raised her eyebrows to ask Yang Sheng behind her.
Yang Sheng immediately understood his hint.
"I believe that all the conversations that just took place have been recorded by the equipment?"
He asked back in a calm tone.
"I recorded it. When the time comes, I'll tell the police directly that the thief is Guo Yingying, and the Wu family is involved in selling the stolen goods."
Su Yuan's cold words were loud and clear, leaving no room for anyone to refute.
Wu Fan and Mrs. Wu were stunned and tried to stop this decision that would put them in trouble almost at the same time. The scene was extremely tense for a moment.
"No, you can't do this!"
They spoke at the same time, their voices filled with anxiety and panic.
"Su Yuan, you know that doing this will damage the Wu family's reputation!"
Wu Fan's eyes were red and his hands were shaking involuntarily due to his excitement. It was obvious that he could no longer control his emotions.
Mrs. Wu, who was standing aside, stared at Guo Yingying, who was standing there trembling, with her eyes fixed on her. Fire seemed to be spitting out of her eyes, and hatred and dissatisfaction were intertwined, as if she wanted to tear the young woman into pieces on the spot.
Feeling the pressure from all sides, Guo Yingying was so scared that her face turned as pale as paper, and her body involuntarily stepped back, wanting to escape from this terrifying place.
"Don't... don't look at me like that..." She was almost crying.
"Brother Fan, I just want to help you!"
Guo Yingying suddenly raised her voice and shouted, her voice was filled with pleading and helplessness. It was obvious that she was completely confused at this moment and only hoped to get a little understanding.
But Wu Fan did not respond. He swung his arm violently, shaking off the hand that was accidentally on his shoulder, with an unimaginable strength.
This action not only made Guo Yingying lose her balance, but also caused her to fall heavily on the cold ground with a dull thud, attracting concerned glances from everyone around her.
At the same time, Mr. Wu, who was busy discussing business details with his partners in the distance, was also attracted by this sudden change.
Seeing his son's miserable state, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He quickened his pace and squeezed into the crowd, and asked, "Niece Shen, what on earth is going on?"
However, Su Yuan was obviously very disgusted with such a name. She just smiled contemptuously and refused without any hesitation: "Don't call me that. Please tell me your purpose."
Judging from the other party's behavior, it is obvious that Mr. Wu is still confused about the changes that have occurred in his family, but he has the intuition accumulated over many years of business experience.
However, he could also feel that things were not simple, so he still maintained a friendly attitude on the surface and tried his best to pretend to be an approachable elder in front of everyone.
Noticing Mr. Wu's arrival, Su Yuan suddenly became extremely alert. He frowned slightly and said cautiously, "There's nothing much to explain. We have something to deal with right now, so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
His words revealed a strong sense of vigilance, as if he was ready to respond at any time.
Hearing this, despite his doubts, Mr. Wu remained calm and continued, "Ah, there's no need to leave in such a hurry. Did I do something wrong to upset you? If that's the case, I'm really sorry."
Although he said this, it did not actually affect Su Yuan's pace of leaving. Now Mr. Wu also understood that the person standing in front of him was not an easy person to deal with.
Mr. Wu calmly winked at the butler beside him. It was an almost imperceptible eye contact, but the butler immediately nodded in understanding and quietly began to guide the people around him.
He gently patted people's shoulders, whispered words of apology, and asked them to gradually leave the scene.
"How about we find a quiet place to talk?"
Although his voice was steady, the firmness and subtle toughness in it could not be ignored by anyone, and it revealed an unquestionable command.
Su Yuan ignored his so-called suggestion and responded directly and bluntly: "No need, we can say it here. We are all witnesses. This way, we can save a lot of trouble and avoid wasting time and effort."
Seeing this, Yang Sheng walked quickly and forcefully in front of Su Yuan. After stopping, he looked around, as if he was always ready to deal with any external interference. His presence was like a solid barrier, protecting Su Yuan from being disturbed by anyone.
Su Yuan raised her hand slightly to signal Yang Sheng to relax a little, but did not completely deny his good intentions.
