Chapter 760: Pseudo-Truth 30
"Our Xia Family raises kind children, how did I end up with a cold-hearted daughter like you?" He Shuya coldly snorted.Xia Yinian glanced at her sideways and said indifferently, "Didn’t Uncle Rui say Sister Chuxue is alright?"
"Moreover, Third Brother has already gone over. Don’t you trust his abilities?"
A look and a sharp remark left He Shuya stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.
Xia Yinian didn’t want to waste words with He Shuya either. But if someone intentionally slanders her, she can’t allow herself to be trampled upon.
"I believe Nian Nian is not indifferent to Chuxue; she’s just worried about me, as my heart is weak and prone to illness."
"I hope Lady Xia doesn’t mind!" the Old Master said softly.
"Old Master, I didn’t mean it that way, perhaps I was too anxious, which is why I misspoke," He Shuya immediately explained.
The Old Master glanced at her but said nothing, his gaze already shifting towards Feng Rui.
His expression turned colder when he looked at Feng Rui.
"By the way, did Ah Yen mention why the other party resorted to violence? There must be a reason for assaulting someone, right?"
"Why would my Chuxue provoke these people? Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Although Chuxue didn’t give the Old Master the feeling of a granddaughter, she was still very kind-hearted in his eyes.
"Third Brother hasn’t mentioned it yet, but they will be back soon, and everything will be thoroughly investigated," Feng Rui nodded in response.
"How can we even investigate this matter? Old Master, actually..." He Shuya lowered her head, looking hesitant to speak.
"Lady Xia, what exactly happened? Chuxue is my granddaughter; feel free to mention any troubles you have," the Old Master frowned.
He Shuya let out a breath, raised her eyes, and once again met Feng Heng’s gaze.
"Chuxue said that recently people outside have been saying that she is basking in Nian Nian’s light, which is why she moved into the Feng Family’s house."
"They’ve also said that she schemed her way into the Feng Family, mainly to seduce the Third Young Master of the Feng Family."
"She also told me that Grandpa encouraged her to cultivate a relationship with the Third Young Master, so she doesn’t avoid being together with the Third Young Master."
"I didn’t expect the rumors to become increasingly wild."
He Shuya seemed infuriated, apparently defending her daughter.
"Those people started with a few derogatory comments behind her back, but later even cursed her to her face, and viciously at that."
"Actually, I advised Chuxue not to go out last night and wait until Grandpa could vindicate her, which would shut those people up."
"But she said that Grandpa has devoted his lifetime to alchemy, and she knew she wasn’t skilled enough, yet she still wanted to give her best effort, hence she didn’t want to miss out."
"Little did I expect, this would lead to trouble."
With these words, He Shuya sighed again.
"I had already advised her not to go out, she just wouldn’t listen, now we still don’t know how she is, truly worrisome."
He Shuya stamped her foot, then turned to look outside.
"Why haven’t they come back yet? This is really worrying."
Without informing the Old Master, He Shuya turned around and walked out.
The Old Master took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his emotions.
He had always thought about finding his granddaughter and letting her live a carefree life.
He never expected that his oversight would lead to such a grievance for Chuxue, and he wasn’t even aware of it.
If anything serious really happened to Chuxue, how could he face Jing Chu and Feng Sui?
