C26 It's Not That Simple

Zhao Chen who had rushed over was also stunned when he saw this scene. He had heard that Ann Ya was injured and wanted to come over to carry her back. Doing this would not only leave a good image of a kind man in the audience's mind, but it could also make Murong Jiu feel touched, killing two birds with one stone.

However, when he rushed over, he found that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

Although Zhao Chen often went to women, he was also completely clueless about their schemes.

Seeing Ann Ya's teary face, he couldn't help but feel pity for her. The desire to protect her also rose in his heart.

He also felt that Murong Jiu had taken revenge on Ann Ya when others were not around. He didn't expect them to come back so quickly.

Zhao Chen frowned and directly gave her the death sentence, "Miss Su Le, even if Sister Ann Ya did something wrong before, you can't slap her. Your thoughts are too …" He didn't finish the second half of his sentence because he was merciful to her because of Murong Jiu's face.

But even if he didn't say it, Murong Jiu and the others knew what he wanted to say.

The people present did not know what to say for a moment. They all stared at Murong Jiu and waited for her to speak.

Murong Jiu did not say anything and remained calm.

When the others saw her like this and then looked at Ann Ya who was sobbing, they instantly looked at her with unfriendly eyes, "Miss Murong, are you not willing to apologize to Miss Ann Ya?"

"Heh." Murong Jiu laughed.

Ann Ya covered her face and cried in a low voice. She observed Murong Jiu's face and found that she was not as anxious as she imagined, nor was she in pain. She didn't even look at her. Her happy mood plummeted. She saw Murong Jiu laugh again, just like last time. She couldn't help but feel afraid. If it was like last time, she would have been able to keep her cool. Soon, Ann Ya rejected her own thoughts. This was in the forest. How could there be a camera? If there was a camera here, she would have been able to see it clearly. However, she had been looking at it from behind. It was impossible for her to see it clearly. Thinking of this, she stopped panicking.

Murong Jiu patted her clothes and said in a relaxed tone, "Mr. Zhao, please carry Miss Ann back first. When we get back, I will naturally give everyone an explanation for Miss Ann."

"Is that okay, Miss Ann?" Murong Jiu's eyes were filled with a mixture of emotions. It was impossible to see what she was thinking.

Ann Ya pondered for a moment, "Alright, let's talk about it when we get back."

After saying that, Murong Jiu quickly walked back. Everyone thought that she was guilty and wanted to escape.

"Brother Zhao Chen, please carry me." Ann Ya looked at the tall and handsome Zhao Chen and her shy face blushed. Unfortunately, her face was red from being hit, so it was impossible to see her blushing.

Zhao Chen also looked at her affectionately, "Alright."

Everyone followed Murong Jiu back to the base. When Chen Sisi and Jiang Qing saw that they had returned, they wanted to wave their arms at them, but they realized that other than Murong Jiu, everyone else had come over with a serious expression.

Especially Ann Ya, her eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that she was crying very hard. Her face was swollen, as if she had been bullied by someone.

As a woman, Chen Sisi knew that Ann Ya was a white lotus. On the surface, she was innocent and naive, but in fact, she was a scheming bitch.

She looked at Murong Jiu, who had a refreshed expression on his face, and asked him what had happened.

Murong Jiu revealed a reassuring smile at her. Don't worry, I'm fine.

Jiang Qing and Lu Rann obviously felt that this matter was probably very serious. Jiang Qing asked seriously, "What's going on? What happened?"

Everyone was silent. Jiang Qing then looked at Zhao Chen and asked him what exactly had happened.

Zhao Chen glanced at Murong Jiu and said in a heavy voice, "Miss Su Le beat Miss Ann Ya."

"Battled?" Lu Rann and Chen Sisi said in unison. Even their expressions were the same.

"Why?" Chen Sisi was burning with anger. She obviously did not believe him.

"Because …" Zhao Chen did not continue speaking. It was not good for him to speak about this kind of thing.

"It's all my fault. I deserve it. I have always felt guilty for scheming against Miss Su Le. I …" Ann Ya wanted to say something, but she stopped herself. She lowered her head with a wronged expression.

"Miss Su Le, this …" Jiang Qing did not know what to say for a moment. Today's matter could not be concealed. This was a fatal blow to Murong Jiu's future.

"Miss Su, apologize to Ann Ya. Let's forget about this matter."

Murong Jiu looked at Zhao Chen mockingly. Apologize? I'm afraid that if she apologized, the matter of her being petty and slapping Ann Ya would be confirmed.

Ann Ya's eyes were vicious and proud. Murong Jiu, in a place without surveillance and no one to see, I want to see how you will defend yourself this time.

Everyone's gaze fell on Murong Jiu. Some were worried, some were just watching the show, and some were gloating. In short, very few people hoped that Murong Jiu would be fine.

On the open grassland, other than the whistling of the wind, there was only the sound of people's breathing.

They were all quietly observing Murong Jiu, waiting for her to resolve this matter.

For a moment, the atmosphere became tense as the tension between the two sides intensified.

Murong Jiu moved slightly, causing everyone to hold their breaths. Their hearts became more anxious.

She looked at these people who were asking for an answer with cold eyes. She felt extremely moved. On the surface, she was calm and collected, but on the inside, her hands were as smooth as snow. She pressed her knuckles together, and one by one, there were cracking sounds.

She slowly opened her mouth and said, "You all think that I hit her face, but have you ever thought that she hit herself?"

"Impossible! How could someone be so stupid as to slap their own face?"

"That's right! Miss Ann Ya is so kind, how could she slap her own face?" Everyone clicked their tongues in disbelief.

"Since that's the case, I have nothing to say. I can only prove my innocence with my actions." Murong Jiu sighed softly.

"Alright, Miss Su, let's begin your actions." Zhao Chen sneered at her. He clearly did not believe that she had any way to clear her name.

Lu Rann, who had not spoken a word since Murong Jiu came back, had a worried expression on his face. He naturally believed that Murong Jiu had not done anything wrong. He wanted to help her, but he did not know how to. He took advantage of the fact that everyone was looking at Murong Jiu and retreated behind them. He secretly took out his phone and sent a message to Lee Yuetian.

Oh no, cousin, sister-in-law has been slandered!

Murong Jiu glanced at the slap mark on Ann Ya's face. From the moment she had slapped her face, she could clearly see the slap's shape and the way it was slapped.

She was truly a woman who could do anything to her. Murong Jiu slowly walked in front of Ann Ya, staring at her eyes as if she was looking down on an ant.

Ann Ya felt guilty and moved back a little, pulling away from Murong Jiu.

However, from the perspective of others, they thought that Ann Ya had been scared away by Murong Jiu.

The photographer who had been following the two of them all this time was acting like a man. He scratched his head and asked, "Miss Su Le, what are you doing?"
