Chapter 337 Who spread the rumor?
The little rabbit, who had been isolated and helpless in the old house for several days, exuded a gloomy aura.
As soon as it was out of the cage, it jumped onto Ye Wanxi, kicking its legs and cooing in the direction of Ye Wanxi and the fat rabbit.
Ye Wanxi grabbed its little paws and said in surprise, "Little one, are you reluctant to part with the big rabbit? How about letting the big rabbit stay with you for a few days?"
The little rabbit froze, completely bewildered as to why its accusations had been interpreted as reluctance to part in its young master's eyes.
The little white fur was so angry that it bristled up, and its little paws flapped back and forth, almost turning into wheels of fire.
"Alright, alright, I know you're excited. I'll talk to Yihuan in a bit and ask the big rabbit to stay with you for a few days. Sigh, you're almost a big rabbit now, and you're still so good at being affectionate. I just can't do anything with you."
The little rabbit: "..." If I am guilty, please let the law punish me, instead of letting me have such an unreasonable owner.
The furious little rabbit sprawled out on Ye Wanxi's lap, completely becoming a useless rabbit.
Seeing that it had calmed down, Ye Wanxi cupped its little bottom and lifted it up a bit before looking up at Du Yihuan and saying gratefully, "Thank you for taking care of this fussy little guy these past few days. Did it cause you any trouble?"
"No, no, Yuanyuan is very well-behaved at home. She eats and rests obediently every day and doesn't make a fuss at all."
"That's good."
As soon as she finished talking about the little rabbit, Du Yihuan hurriedly moved closer to Ye Wanxi, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Sister-in-law, is everything said online true?"
"You single-handedly ventured into that remote mountain village where women were trafficked, leading hundreds of victimized women and innocent baby girls, breaking through the encirclement of thousands of burly men, punching beasts and kicking thugs, carving a bloody path to expose the village's crimes and corruption to the world. My God, you are simply a shining hero!"
"Pfft...cough cough cough...cough cough cough..." After hearing Du Yihuan's boasting, Ye Wanxi choked on the water on the spot, coughing so loudly that it was earth-shattering, and she was on the verge of dying.
"Sister-in-law? Are you alright? How come you choked on water? Is there something wrong with the water?"
Du Yihuan patted Ye Wanxi's back while reaching out to pick up the glass of water to examine it, but Ye Wanxi grabbed his hand as soon as he did.
"Who? Who told you all this nonsense?"
"What's all this mess?"
"What you just said, about thousands of burly men..."
"That's what everyone's saying online? Is it fake?"
"Of course it's fake!" Ye Wanxi said through gritted teeth, having witnessed marketing-level exaggeration once again.
"It's fake?" Du Yihuan looked disappointed. "I thought it was all real."
"...It's obvious it can't be true, right?"
"But the internet says that you rescued those trafficked women."
"I called the police, and I stalled for time. But..."
Ye Wanxi held up one finger: "First, I wasn't alone. Sister Gao and your older brother were with me at the time, as were several other people you don't know. So there was no question of me being all alone."
Ye Wanxi then held up another finger: "Second, there are no thousands of burly men, at most only a few dozen. It's just a small mountain village with a maximum of a hundred households. Where would you find thousands of burly men to surround us?"
"In the end, all that talk about punching beasts, kicking thugs, and fighting my way out, I barely even laid a hand on them. I just created a maze and let them wander around for ages before I reappeared and tied them up when they were exhausted and scared. It wasn't as exaggerated as they made it out to be. Which media outlet wrote all that stuff you just mentioned? I'll have the company send them a lawyer's letter later."
What's with all this talk of fighting alone? What if some hot-blooded, immature young person actually believes it and, instead of calling the police, recklessly rushes into the thieves' den and gets trapped? Isn't that misleading people?
Ye Wanxi was filled with embarrassment and anger at being mocked, but when she looked up, she met Du Yihuan's eyes, which were as bright as light bulbs.
Ye Wanxi: "???" What's going on? Didn't I explain everything clearly? Why does this guy's eyes seem even brighter? Did she just say something wrong?
"Big Brother's here too? Oh right, I forgot, Big Brother came with you guys on this trip. Did he help out? And what you just said about being stuck in a maze? Is that the maze I'm thinking of? It sounds so cool. Can I try it sometime? Is it true that you'll just keep going around in circles and not be able to get out? What's the principle behind it? Wow, it feels so amazing!"
"..." Girl, something's wrong with you!
It took Ye Wanxi some time to dissuade Du Yihuan from his dangerous idea of testing himself, and the man finally remembered his other purpose in coming to find Ye Wanxi.
"Sister-in-law, besides bringing Yuanyuan here today, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
"Regarding Caiyi's matter, she has been wanting to find an opportunity to thank you in person. Also, Xiaoxiao just finished her exams recently, and it seems she did very well. She feels that your talisman was a great help, and she also wants to thank you in person."
"That talisman only improved her concentration and prevented her from overworking herself; it didn't guarantee that she would pass the exam. Her good performance was mainly due to her own abilities, and it had little to do with me."
"Sister-in-law, you're too modest. It's already quite an achievement to improve concentration and relieve fatigue," Du Yihuan said, pleadingly clinging to Ye Wanxi's arm. "Just say yes, please say yes, it's just a meal together. Didn't we all have a great time on our picnic last time?"
Ye Wanxi is always soft-hearted towards people she is close to, and it's just a meal, and they are all people she knows, so it doesn't take much trouble.
"Okay, I'll see when I have time to have a meal together."
"Hooray! I knew you were the best, sister-in-law. But that lucky charm you gave Caiyi before was really useful, do you think I need one too..."
Ye Wanxi saw through her little scheme in a second and chuckled, "Didn't you use that jade piece I gave you before to make a necklace? Are you wearing it?"
“Yes, yes, I wear it every day.” Du Yihuan said as she pulled out a violet jade platinum necklace designed by a famous designer from her collar.
Ye Wanxi had seen the finished product image of the necklace before, but seeing the finished product still made her dazzled by its understated yet luxurious design.
“This necklace is better than any amulet.” Ye Wanxi seemed to have thought of something, coughed lightly, and said with a hint of smugness, “The same goes for that jade bracelet from before.”
