Chapter 277 - 278: Whose Lies Whose Truth-III

Jin Nu Yuan behind her mother didn't bother to hide her anger. Because of Li Lian she had to lower her head and apologize for mistake she had never done and just the thought she had to say sorry to the woman who was the source of problem and lower than her had her anger boiling. This moronic hussy couldn't even hold her mouth to herself, thought Jin Nu Yuan angrily.

Li Lian looked down on the woman before she met Madam Li's sloping brows at Li Lian. "It's a very surprising method that I never expect. When you offered me the money while saying about my past, I should be honest to you that it did feel offensive but there is no need to apologize because I have accepted your apology before." Li Liaj gave the woman a smile she had which looked gentle and she swiftly swatted the woman's hands from her.

Mrs. Jin ground her teeth when her eyes met with Madam Li she managed a smile where Madam Li give her again a shake of her head in disappointment. With the constant words Li Lian gave, it was clear how Madam Li's favor to Mrs. Jin slowly decreases. It's all because of this woman! thought Mrs. Jin to herself. As a person who had been currying favors from Madam Li by pleasing the woman, this had Mrs. Jin cursing Li Lian for ruining her good image to Madam Li.

"I am sure she didn't mean wrong, Li Lian," Madam Li pacified. To her eyes, she could tell Li Lian was sincere with her words and found Li Lian as a woman with perseverance, able to calm her heart despite feeling sad which attain Madam Li's admiration and sympathy to the young woman. "And Nu Yuan, how did you get sick for the third time, you rarely catch a cold."

Li Lian noticed the hole from Mrs. Jin and her daughter's words kept on getting larger that showed the family had been living from lies. All words the spout from their mouths weren't meant to be trusted.

Jin Nu Yuan, who was at silence since before finally found the opportunity to direct her anger. The spoiled cousin didn't care who she had to patronize for her mistake as long as she could direct her anger she had from Li Lian now and spoke. "It happened because I was waiting for Brother Wei in his house but the servants didn't let me enter and it happened twice."

Madam Li's brows furrowed at the reveal, "The servant's didn't let you enter? Did you tell Jun Wei about this?" As the spoiled child Jin Nu Yuan was good at gaining her grandmother's and other's sympathy toward her.

Right at the moment Jin Nu Yuan was about to speak, Li Lian cut in between, interjecting the conversation, "Actually, Jun Wei had heard about it but there is a reason for it, I have heard it from him."

Li Lian was not going to let Jin Nu Yuan pushing blame to others, "Since before when Jun Wei bought the house, there had been many time when there was women who would stalk in front of the house, claiming to be Jun Wei acquaintance or some times Xiao Chen's acquaintance when truthfully, they were not. When Nu Yuan come first without telling Jun Wei, the guards thought she was one of the... stalkers which was why she had to soak under the rain twice." Li Lian's eyes went toward Jin Nu Yuan whose eyes slowly by time widened. "Without Jun Wei's permission it was not right for them to let her enter. They don't know Nu Yuan is Jun Wei's cousin but if they know, I am sure they would let her enter."

Jin Nu Yuan's mood elevated when she found the chance to vent her anger but now with Li Lian who had called her as a stalker and twist and turn the truth, made her seethe in anger, "What are you-"

"It must be because Nu Yuan doesn't look very much similar to Jun Wei but of course they have offered her a seat inside the small desperate building used by the guards. But Nu Yuan refused." Li Lian didn't care if either Mrs. Jin and Jin Nu Yuan was glaring at her now. If they think they were the only one who could twist the truth they believed to be, Li Lian could do the same. She wouldn't let herself be bullied in the house.

Madam Li shifted her eyes from Li Lian to Jin Nu Yuan, "You should have prioritized your health and know better not to stay under the rain for a long time."

Jin Nu Yuan felt her eyes went wide at her grandmother who instead believe in Li Lian's words. Before she could point her outburst of anger at Li Lian, Mrs. Jin cut her daughter's words, "It was because Nu Yuan had something very urgent to tell Jun Wei directly and she didn't feel safe being in the house where the guard was. They maybe loyal but they are still men and Nu Yuan is beautiful, I'm afraid she would attract what we never want to happen. God forbid!"

"Still she came with a car didn't she?" Madam Li asked with her brows raised and Mrs, Jin who was good at weasel her way through smiled to reply,

"The car isn't a save place either." Would there even be a safe place then? Li Lian questioned in her mind. Then Mrs. Jin spoke to shift the topic, "Thank you for explaining Li Lian or else we would mistake the guard's intention. But this make me question what about the second time? They should have known by the second time who Nu Yuan is but why won't them let her enter?" Mrs. Jin look at Li Lian with challenging eyes.

The elder woman knew there wouldn't be anymore space for Li Lian to twist the truth this time and her smile crept to the corner. No matter how smart Li Lian was, soon she would show her mistake and that one mistake was what Mrs. Jin need to tear down Li Lian's angelic image that was far from the truth.
