Upon opening the door, Jiang Chun’s appearance genuinely alarmed Jiang

Ning. Her eyes were bloodshot from crying, and she continued to sob, her body trembling.

“What happened to you? Who bullied you?” Jiang Ning looked at her worriedly.

Jiang Chun only shook her head and pulled her in. “Don’t let Uncle and Aunt see me like this. Come in quickly.”

“Jiang Chun, what’s wrong? 1 heard about Wei Lai’s involvement. Wen Nian even considered suing her. She just finished crying to me about it.”

Thinking of Wei Lai’s cries, Jiang Ning asked tentatively, “Will minors go to jail if they are sued?”

Although the Wei family held significant influence in Hai City, this incident had garnered widespread attention online. Numerous celebrities and directors lent their support to Wen Nian. Suppressing the matter seemed unlikely for the Wei family.

Jiang Chun inquired anxiously, “Did Wei Lai say anything else? Did she only mention this?”

Though the Jiang family had entrusted her with this task, Wei Lai wasn’t particularly astute. Who knew if she would reveal anything to Jiang Ning? Apart from the elder members of the Jiang family, nobody else knew of Jiang Chun’s involvement. She certainly didn’t want to tarnish her image in everyone’s eyes.

“What else could she say? She just cried,” Jiang Ning responded irritably. “She even hopes Wei Xiao can intercede on her behalf. You know, there’s history between Wei Xiao and Wen Nian… Let’s not dwell on this. It’s so annoying. But what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying too?”

Although Jiang Ning wasn’t the sharpest, she had picked up on certain things from her constant proximity to Jiang Chun. She suspected that Jiang Chun harbored feelings for Shen Jun, unknowingly defending him all the time.

“Could it be that Wen Nian said something to Shen Jun that made him mad at you?”

Jiang Chun remained silent, simply wiping her eyes with her hand. The perfume that had entered her eyes caused fresh tears to well up.

Seeing her like this, what else did Jiang Ning not understand?

Indignant, she remarked, “I think this Shen Jun is just book-smart and oblivious. You even saved him when you were kids. You two are practically childhood sweethearts. What’s Wen Nian compared to you?”

“Don’t say that. It’s only right that Wen Nian isn’t forgiving me. After all, it all began because of me.” Although Jiang Chun took responsibility, she continued to deflect blame onto Wen Nian.

“At that time, I tried to plead for you and Wei Lai, so I asked Shen Jun to bring Wen Nian to the ancient town. 1 never expected that Wen Nian would…”

Jiang Chun let the sentence trail off, but in Jiang Ning’s ears, it painted a different picture. She understood it as Jiang Chun advocating for her and Wei Lai, while Wen Nian pushed Jiang Chun into the water without a second thought.

Seeing Jiang Ning’s angered expression, Jiang Chun offered a smile and continued, “This matter truly isn’t about me. If 1 intended to pursue it, I would’ve done so the day I fell into the water. This time, 1 sincerely wished to apologize to Wen Nian, yet she declined. I’m not sure what she told Shen Jun, but he also believes I’m at fault.”

“I’ll apologize to Wen Nian in front of the entire class tomorrow. I can’t let Wei Xiao apologize. Wei Xiao is your fiance. 1 can’t let them reconnect.”

The phrase “rekindling old feelings” struck a chord within Jiang Ning. She had always held feelings for Wei Xiao. Being with him hadn’t been easy, so she wouldn’t relinquish this chance.

“Jiang Chun, 1 can’t let Wei Xiao interact with her. He’s my fiance.” Jiang Ning’s tone had already shifted. “This isn’t your fault. Clearly, it’s Wei Lai’s doing… but…”

She struggled to articulate her thoughts. Wei Lai was Wei Xiao’s sister and her friend, so ignoring her entirely wasn’t an option. Yet, she adamantly opposed any reconciliation between Wei Xiao and Wen Nian.

Sensing the timing was right, Jiang Chun spoke up, “1 wish Wen Nian could consider letting Wei Lai off the hook. Do you think the Wei family will simply back down? If Wei Lai gets sued, the repercussions will extend beyond Wei Xiao’s situation, won’t they?”

“However, 1 heard that Wei Xiao’s grandfather visited today, and Wen Nian wasn’t willing to drop the lawsuit. She even disregarded the old man’s feelings. She seems resolute about opposing the Wei family.” Jiang Ning had conducted her own inquiries. Wei Feng’s attempts to reach out to Wen Nian’s parents had been fruitless. Who could control her?

“That’s accurate. Wen Nian is now a popular celebrity with millions of fans. The police have to consider public sentiment and are likely hesitant to take action against her.”

Jiang Chun’s tone wasn’t loud, yet each word reached Jiang Ning’s ears distinctly. “I’ve heard that to repay the debt of gratitude to Old Mr. Wen, Old Mr. Wei paid for Old Mr. Wen’s funeral. He didn’t allow the Wen family to spend a dime, even offering Wen Nian’s family one million yuan. He even permitted Wei Xiao to get engaged to Wen Nian. It’s apparent that Old Mr. Wei holds Wen Nian in high regard. He must be very sad that Wen Nian did this..”
