Ye Lan felt a little embarrassed. She never expected that one day she would be scolded and blamed by her own son in front of her.
She pursed her lips, obviously not believing what Ji Jingchen said, "Qianya has been so kind since she was a child, she wouldn't even dare to step on an ant to death, how could she do such a thing as bullying Xiaoshu, let alone lying and cursing. Is it Xiaoshu..."
Ye Lan didn't finish the rest of her words, but Ji Jingchen could guess what she wanted to say, which was simply to ask whether Xiaoshu had lied.
At this moment, he really felt sorry for Li Shu, and he could understand her irritating attitude towards Ye Lan after she came back. He would probably do the same if he were in her shoes.
"Mom, I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. How could it be false? Ji Qianya pulled Xiaoshu to the ground, calling her a bitch. Xiaoshu's arms were all red from her grabbing."
Ye Lan's expression became a little unnatural after hearing this, but she still didn't want to believe that Ji Qianya, whom she had raised since childhood, would be what Ji Jingchen said. "But why would Qianya bully Xiaoshu when she is fine? Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Ji Jingchen's brows were filled with disbelief. He obviously didn't expect her to say such a thing. His face darkened. "Mom, do you have to see it with your own eyes to believe it? Ji Qianya did something wrong, so there's nothing to argue about."
"Mom just thinks it's not necessary to be serious enough to put Qianya in solitary confinement. It's just a fight between children." Ye Lan said embarrassedly.
Ji Jingchen frowned, quite speechless, "Does it have to be life-threatening to be considered serious?"
Ye Lan's eyes flashed, "Jing Chen... Mom didn't mean that..."
Ji Jingchen raised his hand to interrupt what she was about to say, "Okay, Mom, I still have some things to do, please go out first."
Seeing that Ji Jingchen had lowered his head again to look at the documents on the table and seemed to no longer pay attention to her, Ye Lan could only turn around and leave.
…
After walking out of the study, Ye Lan was unwilling to let it go like this. After thinking about it, she decided to find Li Shu and ask her to tell Ji Jingchen to release Ji Qianya.
I think if Li Shu asked, Ji Jingchen would definitely agree.
Ye Lan first came to the door of the room where Ji Qianya originally lived, knocked on the door, and called Li Shu's name twice, but there was no response for a long time.
Just when she thought Li Shu was deliberately ignoring her and was about to ask someone to open the door with a key, the voice of Ji Guanjia suddenly came from behind her, "Madam, are you looking for the eldest lady?"
Ye Lan turned around and looked at him, "Xiao Shu is not in the room?"
"The eldest lady is in the attic room." said Butler Ji.
Ye Lan was worried about Ji Qianya being locked up in the solitary confinement room, and didn't ask why Li Shu was not in this room. She nodded and left immediately.
Soon, Ye Lan also arrived at the attic on the top floor.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Li Shu has set foot here since she came back.
She walked to the door, raised her hand and knocked twice, and said softly, "Xiaoshu, are you there?"
In a few seconds, the door was opened.
Li Shu raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, leaning against the door frame with her arms folded. Her eyes fell on her with a half-smile, and she said slowly, "What's the matter?"
Ye Lan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her. She gathered her shawl and was silent for a few seconds before she spoke: "Xiao Shu, can you go talk to your eldest brother and ask him to release Qian Ya?"
"But why?" Li Shu tilted her head, her long legs bent casually, her white jade fingers tapping her arm nonchalantly, "Why do I remember it as if I were the victim?"
Ye Lan frowned, and seeing Li Shu like this, her attitude also hardened. "What victim or not? It's just a small quarrel between you two sisters. Qianya already knows she was wrong. When she comes out, I will ask her to apologize to you, and this matter will be over."
Li Shu sneered, stood up straight, and curved her eyes, as if to despise everything with sarcasm, "Oh, then I refuse."
After saying that, before Ye Lan could react, he slammed the door shut.
Seeing this, Ye Lan's face turned extremely ugly. Looking at the closed door in front of her, she was so angry that she almost suffocated. She shouldn't have come to find Li Shu and brought trouble upon herself.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She planned to wait for Ji Heng to come back later and let him talk to Ji Jingchen. Now she could only let Ji Qianya stay in the confinement room for a while longer.
…
Because he had to attend a dinner with the Shen family in the evening, Ji Heng came back from the company early today.
As soon as he entered the living room, Ye Lan, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up and walked around the sofa to greet him. She took the suit jacket hanging on his arm and said with a smile, "You're back."
Ji Heng hummed, noticing that she was still wearing the same clothes he had seen her in the morning. "Why haven't you changed yet? We're going to the hotel soon."
He paused and asked, "What about Xiaoshu? How is her preparation going?"
Ye Lan's eyes flickered slightly, and she subconsciously clenched the coat in her hand. After something like this happened, she was in no mood to dress up. "Well, Qianya and Xiaoshu had some conflicts, and Jingchen locked Qianya in the confinement room in a fit of anger. Can you go talk to Jingchen and ask him to release Qianya?"
Ji Heng frowned, "Why are there conflicts between two good people?"
"This... I don't know the specific situation very well. I just heard Jing Chen say that Qianya lied and refused to admit that she bullied Xiaoshu, and even said a dirty word, so Jing Chen locked her up in the confinement room for reflection." Ye Lan said truthfully.
Ji Heng loosened his tie and walked to the sofa to sit down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Did Jing Chen say all this that he saw and heard with his own eyes?"
Ye Lan nodded. "That's what Jing Chen said, but I don't think Qianya would act like this suddenly. Is there some misunderstanding?"
Ji Heng's face darkened slightly, and he pressed his brows tiredly, feeling that there was never a peaceful day in this family. He thought Qianya had grown up and become sensible this morning, but now she did this again, lying and swearing.
"Since we've already seen this, what's the misunderstanding? Or do you want to say that Jing Chen deliberately said that he saw and heard it with his own eyes in order to protect Xiaoshu?"
Ye Lan's expression was a little stiff. "That's not what I meant... How could I suspect Jing Chen of lying on purpose?"
Ji Heng stood up and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for now. Jing Chen's personality is not unknown to you and me. It's useless for me to say what he has decided. Besides, putting her in solitary confinement is not a big deal, let alone starving her. She will be released in a day or two."
Ye Lan also stood up, "But..."
Ji Heng raised his hand to interrupt what she was about to say, "Okay, go change your clothes quickly, and then go see how Xiaoshu is doing. If there's no problem, we'll leave soon."
Ye Lan looked at Ji Heng's leaving figure, and sat down on the sofa again in anger. She glanced at the coat in her hand and threw it aside.
