The man parted his thin lips, his words like pearls, chilling to the bone.
He showed no mercy to Murong Xue at all.
"Murong Cheng! Little Xue is your sister, how can you..." Song Yu's eyes were red, glaring at Murong Cheng, then glancing at Jiang Shiyu beside him, "For a woman, you actually humiliate your sister like this!"
Flames flared in the man's eyes, as if he could kill Song Yu instantly.
"Shiyu and I are already married. She is now a member of the Murong family. Grandfather most detests infighting and fratricide within the family. Murong Xue's actions completely disregard the family's reputation and kinship!"
The man's logic was rigorous, his words hitting the facts and truth, giving Song Yu no room to maneuver.
Song Yu's face was about to crack, and she could only plead with Old Master Rong, "Old Master, this concerns the reputation of the Murong family, and it also concerns Little Xue's innocence. Please investigate the truth!"
At this point, Song Yu was still trying to quibble and divert attention.
More words were useless.
Jiang Shiyu frowned impatiently, then raised her wrist and glanced at the time.
Judging by the time, they should be arriving soon.
As she was thinking, the private room door suddenly opened, and a man wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked in.
"Good evening, everyone. I am the lawyer hired by Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang has collected all the evidence and sent it to me. I will, according to Miss Jiang's wishes, file a lawsuit against Ms. Murong Xue, accusing her of three crimes: bribing assassins, orchestrating a car accident, and slander and defamation..."
The man was clearly a professional. After a brief introduction, he directly produced the lawyer's letter and placed it on the table.
He casually bowed to everyone and left the private room.
Everyone was stunned.
They never expected Jiang Shiyu to have planned everything so thoroughly, even hiring a lawyer!
Murong Cheng lowered his gaze, his eyes deep.
After tonight, he felt as if he was meeting this woman for the first time.
Jiang Shiyu blinked her bright eyes, looking exactly like Che Che, "Surprise!"
"Hmm? You didn't lose your memory? You were faking it at the hospital that day?" Murong Cheng tightened his grip on Jiang Shiyu.
He never expected that in his twenty-eight years of life, he would be toyed with by this little woman.
He had always thought she was thoughtful in her words and actions, and rather carefree, but he never expected her to have so many meticulous little schemes!
"Since you have received the lawyer's letter, I won't waste any more words. Old Master is already old, Aunt Song Yu, please don't make the elderly anxious and angry. Let's settle our matters in court, face to face, and let the law judge right from wrong!"
Jiang Shiyu hadn't eaten much and felt hungry now. After speaking, she moved aside and left the private room.
Murong Cheng picked up his jacket and draped it over her, "You didn't eat enough, what do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat the Zhajiangmian you cooked..."
The two disappeared in the direction of the door.
Murong Xue hugged Song Yu, her hair disheveled, her face streaked with tears, "Mommy, you must stand up for me. I really didn't slander Jiang Shiyu, and I never hired assassins to frame her. It was all Jiang Shiyu's own production, she wants to kill me! The wedding video last time was her doing! It was her! It's all this bitch!"
"Mommy knows, Mommy knows. Mommy will definitely protect you, don't worry, Mommy will give you justice..."
Song Yu still wanted to seek help from Old Master Rong.
The old master just patted the dust off his clothes, stood up with the help of his caregiver, and glanced at the mother and daughter.
"Since you heard what she said, stop making a fuss. Say whatever you have to say in court. Whether it was her or not, the judge will decide."
After speaking, Old Master Rong left the private room with the help of his caregiver.
The old master was the protagonist of the day. When the protagonist left, the relatives and friends present also dispersed one after another.
Finally, only the mother and her two children remained in the private room.
"Sister, don't cry, Haohao will get justice for you."
Rong Hao hugged Murong Xue. Song Yu looked at her sensible son and her pitiful daughter who was being framed, and tears flowed down. She said with relief:
"Mommy gave birth to you two, it was the best thing I ever did. When Haohao grows up, when your father wakes up..."
This family would not be Murong Cheng's to command.
If it weren't for her eldest son's sudden car accident and death, Murong Cheng would never have had the chance to return to the Murong family.
Now, Murong Cheng's influence was growing day by day. She saw it but could do nothing.
Murong Cheng's strength was too formidable, even his methods were ruthless and decisive.
He had gained the old master's favor.
However, he could only be proud for these few years. When Haohao grew up, he would take it all back!
It was late at night when they returned to Jingyuan.
Jiang Shiyu came out of the bathroom, still yawning.
She smelled the aroma of food from downstairs and immediately perked up.
She walked downstairs in her slippers and saw the man busy in the open kitchen.
He was wearing an apron and was busy preparing the meal.
The Zhajiangmian was already cooked. He poured the sauce, added freshly chopped toppings, including shredded cucumber and other ingredients.
Jiang Shiyu pulled out a chair at the dining table and sat down. Murong Cheng then brought the Zhajiangmian to her.
"I remember there was a noodle shop when I was a child. Although it was in the countryside, the taste was very delicious, exactly like yours!"
During that time, her maternal grandfather was recuperating in the countryside, and she lived there with him.
Her most vivid memories were of that chubby boy and the noodles from that noodle shop.
"Yes, eat more if you like it." Murong Cheng pulled out a chair and sat in front of her.
Years ago, he had specifically returned to the countryside and found the old master of that noodle shop to learn from.
The old master was no longer making noodles. His son had taken over. The taste was similar, but it wasn't the taste from back then.
He waited for many days before the old master finally agreed to teach him the secret to cooking the noodles.
Watching the little woman eat heartily, a slight curve appeared on the man's calm lips.
"It's so delicious, it's that same taste. I can eat bowls and bowls without getting tired. Look at this meat sauce and these toppings, they're all just right..."
Jiang Shiyu finished a bowl of noodles in one go and then noticed the man sitting opposite her, looking at her.
"Don't look at me like that. Even if you look at me like that, I won't forgive you!"
Jiang Shiyu snorted. He was even rumored to be involved with a female celebrity!
After eating her fill, she got up to leave.
"Wait, you've eaten, but I'm still hungry..."
The man grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
Jiang Shiyu frowned, "Didn't you cook for yourself? What do you want to eat? I'll order takeout for you!"
"I want to eat..." The man lowered his gaze and looked at her carefully, "You..."
