Chapter 729: Drinking a Tub of Vinegar (1)

Among those present, only Qin Yufan understood the hint of bitterness in Qin Chuan’s smile.

“He wouldn’t do such a thing for no reason,” Jian Yiling explained for Zhai Yunsheng.

Jian Yiling rarely provided explanations for people.

Even when she was wrongly accused, she never attempted to explain to those people.

However, this time, she tried her best to explain for Zhai Yunsheng. She did not want the Qin family to misunderstand Zhai Yunsheng.

“I believe you,” Qin Chuan replied firmly.

As Qin Chuan’s mother watched this, she felt a hint of regret.

It was at this time when Qin Yufan expressed her own opinion: “I feel like this incident is sort of similar to my kidnapping. I feel like the mastermind behind all of this is trying to make us misunderstand something.”

At first, they attempted to make Qin Yufan a.s.sume that Qin Chuan was the one who asked people to kidnap her. This could cause conflict within the Qin family.

Then, they attempted to make Qin Chuan suspect Zhai Yunsheng. This would put the Qin family at odds with its powerful enemy, the Zhai family.

Both of these consequences were detrimental to the Qin family.

As she said this, Qin Yufan suddenly thought of a person. This thought made her heart skip a beat.

She thought of someone who never hid his hatred for the Qin family.

Jian Yichen!

However, Qin Yufan attempted to quickly find a reason to convince herself otherwise.

After all, he was kidnapped alongside her. He even clearly said that this was not Qin Chuan’s doing. If he did such a thing, he could have just misled her…

But… Even after he made things clear, she still chose to believe him. She chose to listen to his wishes and compete against Qin Chuan…

All of a sudden, Qin Yufan’s confidence began to waver again.

Qin Chuan said to Jian Yiling: “Don’t worry about it. I will figure out who is behind all of this. I will not wrongly accuse Master Sheng.”

“Thank you,” Jian Yiling sincerely said to Qin Chuan.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan smiled again: “You don’t need to thank me. I owe you. I owe you much more than just this.”

“I still want to thank you. Those things aren’t related to this,” Jian Yiling replied.

“You don’t need to think of it that way,” Qin Chuan replied.

“Master Sheng… You can’t go in… Master Sheng…”

There were noisy voices coming from outside the door.

The sound was getting louder and louder.

“How outrageous! We haven’t yet gone to settle this with him. Instead, he came to the door himself!” Qin Hongzhi said in anger.

Qin Hongzhi felt that Zhai Yunsheng’s behavior was incredibly disrespectful. It was as though he did not care about the Qin family at all.

Once Zhai Yunsheng barged into the ward, he said to the Qin family: “If you suspect that I did it, you should talk to me. This has nothing to do with Yiling.”

Qin Chuan quickly attempted to explain the situation: “You’re mistaken. We didn’t ask Yiling to come over because we suspected you. Instead, Yiling’s my friend. She’s just coming over to visit me.”

Jian Yiling nodded: “Mhmm, that’s true. I’m here to visit him.”

Qin Chuan and Jian Yiling said the same thing to Zhai Yunsheng. They both hoped to clear Zhai Yunsheng’s misunderstanding.

“Mr. Qin Chuan, you’re not related to my fiancee. There’s no need to call her so cordially, right? Don’t you think that it’s more appropriate for you to address her as Miss Yiling? Actually, if you want, you can also call her Young Lady Zhai.”

Zhai Yunsheng’s eyes were fierce. His words harbored hostility as well.

Even Jian Yiling could sense the hostility. This meant everyone else in the room sensed it as well.

This was not good. After all, Jian Yiling just explained to the Qin family that Zhai Yunsheng had no reason to do such a thing.

However, right now, Zhai Yunsheng was showing so much hostility towards Qin Chuan. Wasn’t he just giving himself a reason for doing the crime?

Jian Yiling pulled at Zhai Yunsheng’s hand before she said: “Don’t say such things.”

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng lowered his head to look at Jian Yiling.
