Chapter 525: Aunt Huiru, how could you speak up for that despicable person?
"Alright, alright..." Shen Yu responded hastily.She pulled Nan Huiru here precisely to have her help save Zhu Jianian, and seeing Nan Huiru speak this way now only made her more eager.
Shen Yu waited outside in the corridor.
Zhu Jianian eagerly pulled Nan Huiru to sit down on a nearby chair.
"Aunt Huiru, look at this stupid thing I’m wearing on my hand. It’s so inconvenient. Hurry up and get me out of here. I don’t want to stay here even for another minute," Zhu Jianian complained.
Nan Huiru’s gaze hardened as she stared coldly at her face.
She couldn’t comprehend why Zhu Jianian, so beautiful and delicate, would harm her grandson.
"Jianian," Nan Huiru slowly withdrew her hand from Jianian’s grasp. "Be honest with me. Did you kidnap Ji Wei?"
Zhu Jianian was shocked by her question and replied, "I didn’t kidnap her. Aunt Huiru, you know what kind of person I am. How could I possibly do something illegal like that?"
"But the police said they witnessed you holding a knife and trying to harm Ji Wei." Nan Huiru had already learned the basic details of the incident from the police.
"Aunt Huiru, how could you side with that b*tch?"
Zhu Jianian exclaimed in surprise, "I really didn’t kidnap her; someone else kidnapped her and called me over. I just thought of how that b*tch kept insulting you and caused a rift between you and Mo Qian, so I wanted to help you teach her a lesson." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel-fire.net
"So you pointed a knife at her and even pushed her to the ground?" Nan Huiru stared intently at her.
Zhu Jianian squirmed uncomfortably under her gaze and explained, "I just wanted to scare her and make her back off—I absolutely didn’t intend to harm her. Besides, being pushed down isn’t a big deal."
As she spoke, Zhu Jianian felt that Nan Huiru was overreacting and muttered under her breath, "It’s not like she was actually pregnant."
Nan Huiru heard this and her heart sank further. Her hands resting on her knees involuntarily clenched into fists.
Push her down, and it’s no big deal?
Yet her unborn grandson was already lost!
The thought that it was Gu Moqian’s blood—her own grandson—made Nan Huiru burn with fury.
Noticing the anger flashing in Nan Huiru’s eyes, Zhu Jianian froze for a moment. She grabbed Nan Huiru’s hand again and called out, "Aunt Huiru, what’s wrong? Don’t you think that b*tch is just too hateful? She reported me to the police to lure me in and then staged herself as a victim of kidnapping—it’s all a trap to frame me. Aunt Huiru, you have to save me."
Zhu Jianian clung to her sleeve and begged.
Ji Wei using her unborn child’s life to frame Zhu Jianian?
Impossible.
Nan Huiru looked at Zhu Jianian coldly and slowly said, "Ji Wei was pregnant."
"That’s fake!"
Zhu Jianian blurted out without thinking, hatred flashing in her eyes. "I heard her admit it herself. I recorded her saying it and was going to play it for you, but the recording device got snatched by that b*tch’s lackey!"
Remembering how she’d been savagely beaten by a foreign woman that day, Zhu Jianian’s anger flared again.
"I went to the hospital. The doctors all said she was pregnant."
"Aunt Huiru, it’s so easy to bribe a doctor these days. You mustn’t be fooled by her!"
Zhu Jianian persisted stubbornly, convinced that what she was saying was the truth. "That woman isn’t as simple as she looks. She’s cunning and calculating, holding onto Mo Qian tightly and refusing to let him recognize you as his mother!"
Nan Huiru could listen no longer. Suddenly, she stood up, looking at Zhu Jianian with a grim expression as she said, "Ji Wei really was pregnant. On the day of the kidnapping, she lost a child."
Zhu Jianian’s mouth fell open as she stared dumbfounded at Nan Huiru.
It was a long while before she managed to find her voice, "Even if that b*tch really was pregnant, isn’t it better that the child is gone? You and Uncle wouldn’t have liked her child anyway. Aunt Huiru, why not take advantage of the lost child and drive her out of the Gu Family immediately?"
