Chapter 187 A Miscarriage of Justice Caused by a Purse
Ren Yaoqi sighed slowly, somewhat helplessly: "Mr. Han, is there something wrong?"
Han Yunqian then turned around and looked at Ren Yaoqi. This look made Ren Yaoqi feel sharp as if it was real. Ren Yaoqi was unmoved, and Han Yunqian calmed down instead.
"I remember asking Miss Fifth before if I had accidentally offended you in some way that made you hate me so much. It wasn't until recently that I understood the reason."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "Master Han, you misunderstood. To be honest, I'm not that familiar with you, so I can't really say I dislike you."
Han Yunqian actually smiled upon hearing this, a smile that held some ambiguous meaning. "Oh? Then why did Fifth Miss scheme to create a prejudice against me between your father and Third Young Master Ren from the very beginning? And why did she go to such lengths to retrieve the painting your father gave me?"
Ren Yaoqi paused slightly, and imitated him by curling his lips. "Then Mr. Han, can you tell me why you, who have always kept a low profile, went to such lengths to make friends with my father and third brother? If you say it's because your Han family is new and wants to find business allies, don't you know that my father and third brother have never cared about worldly affairs? If you say it's because we have similar interests... In Yanzhou, there are many people who are more talented and learned than my father and third brother. Not to mention other places, in Yunyang City alone, there are Second Young Master Xiao and Young Master Yun, people of your age and with great talent. Some of them are even your classmates. As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against them. Mr. Han, you act strangely, so don't blame others for being on guard against you."
"As for the matter of that painting..." Ren Yaoqi glanced at Han Yunqian, his chin raised in a proud arc, and his tone was filled with implicit contempt, "That's because you, Mr. Han, are not as skilled as others!"
Han Yunqian: “…”
After a long silence, Han Yunqian sighed, "Miss Ren Wu is sharp-tongued. I am ashamed of myself."
Ren Yaoqi said calmly, "Thank you."
Han Yunqian felt that although he was not a talkative person, he could be considered eloquent at critical moments. However, he didn't know why he could only hold it in in front of Ren Yaoqi and almost suffered internal injuries.
Even the usually calm and gentle Master Han was a little angry: "So, Fifth Miss, are you still going to deny that you had no involvement in the Lei family's affairs from beginning to end?"
Han Yunqian's dark gaze fixed on Ren Yaoqi, as if he wanted to see through her.
Ren Yaoqi looked surprised and asked with a hint of amusement, "Master Han, I don't deny this ridiculous accusation, but do you expect me to admit it? What does the Lei family have to do with me? Why should I interfere? Spring isn't a good time to study, and summer's scorching heat is perfect for sleeping. Are you sure you were awake when you left?"
Han Yunqian: “…”
Taking a deep breath, Han Yunqian tried to ignore the mockery and ridicule on Ren Yaoqi's face. He knew his question was rash. He just felt that Ren Yaoqi had intervened in the conflict between the Lei and Han families, but it was just his guess. He had no evidence, although he believed his guess was correct.
"I don't want to argue with you. Some things are better if we both know each other's secrets." When he spoke again, Han Yunqian had regained his composure. "I just want to remind Miss Fifth that no matter how smart you are, you are still just a girl. There's no need to take the blame yourself. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."
