Chapter 577 Internal Strife within the Chen Family
“Sang Ruo was just protecting her rights, how did she go too far?” Chen Hui didn’t think Sang Ruo had done anything wrong: “Just because she didn’t do what your aunt wanted, does that mean she should steal someone else’s child? In that case, who is more wrong?”
Chen Fangyue was clearly the one who went too far, but Xiao Wei made it sound like it was all Sang Ruo's fault.
Xiaowei used to be very objective in her views, so why has she become so unreasonable since her aunt came back?
What exactly did Chen Fangyue say to Xiao Wei that caused such a drastic change in her?
Chen Fangyue couldn't listen anymore and retorted, "Ahui! That's enough! It's fine if you don't speak up for me, but why are you speaking up for that outsider Sang Ruo everywhere?"
"Just because she married Bo Jinyan, does that mean I have to give in to everything she does?"
Bo Jinyan is indeed a high-ranking official, but she is also his second sister-in-law.
In terms of seniority, she is no lower than Bo Jinyan.
But that woman Sang Ruo not only betrayed Jinzhou, but also married Bo Jinyan, causing Jinzhou to go to prison. How could she possibly tolerate such an insult?
“Sister, this isn’t a matter of whether we’re outsiders or not; it’s a matter of right and wrong.” Chen Hui’s expression was somewhat sharp: “Bo Jinzhou went in because he committed the crime of imprisonment, not just because of Sang Ruo alone.”
"Please don't distort the truth here." He paused, then added, "And please don't deliberately mislead Xiaowei. She doesn't know anything."
In order to get her son out, she didn't even spare her own niece.
They even tried to deliberately drag the entire Chen family into this mess.
If it weren't for Old Master Bo's reminder, he would probably have become a stepping stone for her to target Sang Ruolu.
Chen Wei looked at her aunt, then at her father arguing with her, somewhat confused: "Dad, what's going on? Wasn't it Sang Ruo who caused Bo Jinzhou to go to jail? Why are you scolding Aunt?"
Could it be that the truth of the matter differs from what she imagined?
Was Bo Jinzhou not wrongly imprisoned, but actually convicted of imprisonment?
“Xiaowei, you’ve been lied to by your aunt.” Chen Hui told Chen Wei the truth: “The reason Bo Jinzhou went to prison was because he imprisoned Sang Ruo. Bo Jinyan found out and called the police. Afterwards, Bo Jinyan sued Bo Jinzhou in Sang Ruo’s name.”
"Bo Jinzhou got arrested because he brought it on himself. Your aunt was desperate and deliberately sabotaged your relationship with Sang Ruo, trying to use her family's influence to get Bo Jinzhou out. She even tried to drag our entire Chen family into it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wei looked shocked and asked him incredulously, "Dad, is what you're saying true? Did Aunt really do that?"
"You don't believe me? You can ask your aunt and see if she thinks the same way!"
Chen Hui was furious, and his face was flushed as he spoke, clearly very angry with Chen Fangyue.
"aunt?"
Chen Wei asked tentatively.
Chen Fangyue sneered and readily admitted without hesitation: "Yes! That's what I think. Who told you to befriend Sang Ruo? Especially you, Xiao Wei, you knew your cousin went to jail because of Sang Ruo, yet you still went out of your way to befriend her?"
"If I hadn't stopped you in time, how long would you have continued down the wrong path?"
If she hadn't stopped her in time, given Chen Wei's relationship with Sang Ruo, they probably would have become good friends by now.
Where can you still see the existence of Jinzhou?
Chen Wei couldn't believe it; her good intentions had actually become a tool for her aunt to achieve her goals!
"Auntie!" Chen Wei's eyes reddened, and she asked her sharply, "Why did you do this?"
She never expected that it would be so difficult to guard against a thief within her own household.
So that's what my aunt was like – a woman with such cunning and scheming.
She misjudged the person! She trusted the wrong person!
No wonder Sang Ruo just reminded her that she could have stayed out of it, but instead got herself into trouble...
Haha, that's so true.
At the time, she thought that Sang Ruo was deliberately sowing discord between her and her aunt!
Now it seems that Sang Ruo really meant well.
On the contrary, it was her aunt who came back with a lot of ulterior motives, wanting to use every means to help her cousin Bo Jinzhou get out of prison.
Chen Fangyue glanced at her sideways: "Because I want to rescue my son, it's that simple."
Nothing is more important than her son.
She was willing to do anything to ensure Jinzhou's smooth release from prison!
Even if it damages the relationship between aunt and niece, as long as Jinzhou can be released from prison, it's not a big deal.
"You can't use me like this!" Chen Wei was almost furious with Chen Fangyue: "If you wanted your cousin to get out of prison, there were much better ways. Why did you deliberately hide it from me? And why did you make me the villain?"
But the aunt, the real mastermind behind it all, remained perfectly hidden...
She lost her reputation and fortune, and her friendship with Sang Ruo was about to be established, all of which were deliberately ruined by her aunt!
The thought of being able to be good friends with Sang Ruo made her regret it terribly.
"Then tell me, is there any better way?!" Chen Fangyue's voice suddenly rose considerably: "If I had a better way, would I have gone to such lengths to get you to resolve this matter?"
It was precisely because she was completely out of options and almost at her wit's end that she thought of having her niece step in.
He was even willing to damage the relationship between his niece and Sang Ruo in order to save Jinzhou!
Chen Hui seemed unable to listen any longer: "Alright! Now that you've achieved your goal, I'll let it slide this time because of our past sibling relationship, but you can never get close to Xiao Wei again!"
"You can get out now!"
Chen Hui didn't hesitate to tell her to leave, which made Chen Fangyue's face change instantly. She almost gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, you two are in cahoots, I can leave, but Jinzhou is your nephew, and he's a member of the Chen family. You can't just abandon him!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Hui suddenly found it somewhat amusing: "What do you mean he's considered a member of the Chen family? May I ask if Bo Jinzhou's surname is Chen? Since we don't even share the same surname, why should I help him?"
He's already being kind by not kicking someone when they're down.
They actually dared to think he would help Bo Jinzhou?
What unrealistic dreams is she having? He's currently in a high position, and neither publicly nor privately, he's unlikely to help her.
There was nothing they could do; Bo Jinzhou had offended Bo Jinyan.
He gave up being a perfectly good young master of the Bo family and insisted on provoking this powerful and influential uncle.
If you insist on courting death, who can you blame?
"So, according to you, as long as I help Jinzhou change his surname, you can help him get out of prison, right?" Chen Fangyue asked in return, following his words.
The angle was so sharp that even Chen Hui was stunned.
