The man next to her caught her, and Du Guizhi, seeing this, shouted even louder.
"Look! If these two hadn't been having an affair before, why would they have instinctively caught Li Mo when he fainted?"
Chen Jiayi saw the handsome man frown and push Li Mo away with some annoyance.
He then spoke in a cold tone.
"I will take full responsibility for this matter, but since it happened at the Shen family banquet, I hope the Shen family can give me a satisfactory answer!"
As for Li Mo, the man hesitated for a moment, but still took Li Mo with him.
“Since this has happened, then your son should divorce her and I will marry her.”
Upon seeing this, Du Guizhi's voice became even sharper.
"Damn it!..."
Chen Jiayi frowned, feeling that something was not right.
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
Shen Jialiang said in a low voice, "Jiayi, go to the back garden and wait for me for a while."
Chen Jiayi nodded. "Okay."
She turned around and glanced at her mother.
Lan Meixuan's eyes held a mixture of worry and suspicion.
It seems that she wasn't the only one who felt something was wrong; everyone felt something was wrong.
Chen Jiayi was sitting in the back garden, unseen by Shen Jialiang, but he did see Song Zhiya instead.
Upon seeing Song Zhiya, Chen Jiayi burst out laughing.
"What was the purpose of giving me that thing? Don't tell me it was just to frame me?"
Song Zhiya shrugged. "No, I didn't do anything. Some people asked me to use you, and I just gave it to you directly."
Song Zhiya's statement is packed with information.
Chen Jiayi stared at Song Zhiya with dark eyes.
She stood up and walked to Song Zhiya.
Chen Jiayi is a little taller than Song Zhiya, and with the high heels she's wearing today, she's standing on a ladder that's one step higher than Song Zhiya.
"Are you using someone else to do your dirty work?"
Song Zhiya's smile froze for a moment, but her reaction was graceful.
Song Zhiya tilted her head and looked at Chen Jiayi, letting out a soft laugh.
What nonsense are you spouting?
Upon hearing Song Zhiya's words, Chen Jiayi immediately understood.
"When I saw you standing with Lin Yuyao today, I didn't understand why you two were standing together. But I've figured it out just now!"
“Lin Yuyao has always held a grudge against me for reporting her bullying, so she has secretly tried to kill me several times, but she has not succeeded.”
"And you, you invited me to go with you, but I didn't go. You tried to scheme against Du Sisi but failed, and in the end you went to the countryside."
Chen Jiayi chuckled lightly, "By joining forces, you two have found a reason to hate me."
"Lin Yuyao wanted to drug me and instructed you to do it. But you didn't want to be caught red-handed, so you gave me the drug directly, wanting me to fight Lin Yuyao like dogs. But you didn't expect Lin Yuyao to drug her sister-in-law. The packet of medicine you gave me became evidence that I harmed Li Mo."
After Chen Jiayi finished speaking, she stared coldly at Song Zhiya.
"You thought this would work, that it would stir up the dissatisfaction of the Lin and Chen families, but you didn't expect that I have a very good relationship with Li Mo. She didn't confront me or break down and go crazy. Instead, she calmly called the police to handle the matter."
"In the end, you got dragged into this, and you couldn't help but come to me to see my reaction, right?"
Song Zhiya's smile grew increasingly stiff, but she still refused to admit it.
"Jiayi, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Song Zhiya smiled and said, "I went to the countryside in response to the country's call. How could I be dissatisfied or hold a grudge?"
"As for this thing I gave you, it was indeed given to me by Lin Yuyao. Think of it that way."
Song Zhiya sighed, looking helpless.
A series of footsteps sounded, and a hint of malice flashed in Song Zhiya's eyes.
She reached out and grabbed Chen Jiayi, then pretended that Chen Jiayi had pushed her.
Chen Jiayi, you're finished.
However.
Chen Jiayi curled her lips into a smile, "Lin Yuyao, did you hear that?"
Song Zhiya stiffened and turned around to see Lin Yuyao with a gloomy face.
Song Zhiya immediately realized that she had fallen into a trap.
She hadn't expected that it would be Lin Yuyao instead of Shen Jialiang who appeared there...
Lin Yuyao seems very smart, but in reality, she's empty-headed and easily swayed by rumors.
She has a terrible temper, but she's also quite clever.
Song Zhiya forced a smile, "Yuyao? Don't listen to Chen Jiayi's attempts to sow discord..."
Lin Yuyao interrupted her, "Isn't what Chen Jiayi said the truth? What did she say about sowing discord?"
Lin Yuyao crossed her arms and looked at Song Zhiya with a half-smile.
Song Zhiya glanced at Lin Yuyao, then at Chen Jiayi.
She suddenly realized that what she had done to anger Lin Yuyao was...
Not only did they not drug Chen Jiayi, they also gave her the item directly.
Things weren't as simple as she thought.
Chen Jiayi was right; he was exactly as she thought.
but……
Song Zhiya took a deep breath.
"Yuyao, I didn't mean anything by it."
Lin Yuyao scoffed and gave Song Zhiya a cold look.
Then, his gaze settled on Chen Jiayi.
Chen Jiayi remained calm, letting Lin Yuyao stare at her.
She gave a gentle smile, tinged with a hint of provocation.
Lin Yuyao's eyes darkened, and she turned to leave.
Seeing this, Song Zhiya quickly chased after them.
After they left, Shen Jialiang appeared silently in front of Chen Jiayi.
"Jiayi".
"Professor Shen, thank you."
