Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1230 - 1208: You Married into the Ya Family, You Belong to the Ya Family
These two young ladies of the Chu Family, even their agents don’t dare to offend them, though they grumble with dissatisfaction: "Anyone with clear eyes can see it, do we need to say more? No matter how deep the hatred or grievance, it shouldn’t come to this. After all, even if they’re part of the Royal Family, is this all the tolerance they have?"
Though the remarks didn’t name names, they fueled even more gossip from the onlookers.
Jiayi furrowed her brows even tighter: "If the Crown Princess truly intended to do this, would she specifically choose tonight in a place filled with people to harm someone? Is it you who’s foolish, or do you think everyone is as foolish as you? Moreover, many here, myself included, witnessed the Crown Princess arrive at the terrace with Xiaotao. Then Miss Lan knowingly approached and lingered without leaving. Who instigated this incident is still uncertain!"
The agent was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say.
At that moment, footsteps were heard approaching the terrace.
The gendarmes parted several onlookers.
A slender figure with a metal cane, under the guidance of guards, stepped onto the terrace, a solemn and icy expression revealing they had heard everything.
Lan Yurou suddenly let out a cry, sobbing with grievances: "Chen..."
Though she wasn’t bold enough to embrace Ya Chen in public, her sobbing out his name showcased an unusual relationship between her and Ya Chen.
Chu Xinyue’s delicate brows twitched, and she clenched her fists.
The agent, aware that Ya Chen was Lan Yurou’s patron, immediately stirred up energy upon seeing him: "Your Highness, you’ve heard everything... You must stand up for our Yurou. Her hand is injured so badly, bleeding non-stop..."
Jiayi frowned, noticing no persistent bleeding — clearly exaggeration!
If it really was that serious, she would have been sent to the hospital long ago. Would they still be standing here lamenting? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
At that moment, the agent screamed again: "Yurou, Yurou, what’s wrong?"
Everyone looked over to see Lan Yurou slipping into the agent’s arms, eyes closed, and if not for the agent holding her, she would have collapsed on the ground.
Lan Yurou had fainted, perhaps due to excessive blood loss or extreme emotion!
Ya Chen’s face slightly changed upon hearing the commotion, immediately ordering: "Take Miss Lan to the backstage first. Summon my personal doctor to check on Miss Lan, and if necessary, rush her to the hospital!"
Lan Yurou, supported by the agent and accompanied by gendarmes, first left the terrace.
Chu Xinyue felt a tug at her heart.
His first concern was Lan Yurou’s injury.
And not to clarify whether his wife had been falsely accused.
Mobilizing efforts to personally send his doctor to attend to Lan Yurou.
Meanwhile, Ya Chen whispered something to a gendarme beside him.
The gendarme nodded in understanding, facing the crowd who had been watching:
"Please treat this matter as if it hasn’t occurred and refrain from mentioning it outside. The banquet is still ongoing; please continue to enjoy your evening."
The conflict between the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince’s mistress escalating into a bleeding incident obviously discouraged any mention. With the gendarme’s announcement, everyone promptly responded, "Got it."
As the crowd gradually departed the terrace, a faint anger lingered on Ya Chen’s face as he ordered again: "Take Xiaotao back!"
The gendarmes immediately walked towards Xiaotao.
Chu Xinyue realized and blocked their path: "What are you doing, why are you taking Xiaotao back?"
Ya Chen looked coldly toward the source of the voice: "A maid ignoring etiquette in public and injuring someone, causing a crowd to gather, nearly discrediting the Ya Family. Whether intentional or not, shouldn’t she be punished? A reckless, impulsive maid should be taught a lesson; are we waiting for her to make a bigger mistake next time? Take her back and confine her immediately!"
The gendarmes stopped hesitating and escorted Xiaotao off the terrace.
Chu Xinyue desperately chased after them: "Stop! Xiaotao is my personal maid, not a subordinate of your Ya Family. What right do you have to punish her? She has nothing to do with this! Let her go!"
She hadn’t run far when she bumped into an imposing wall of a man!
She looked up, meeting the gaze of Ya Chen’s deep eyes, devoid of warmth and light, immediately sending a shiver down her spine.
Ya Chen’s slender fingers forcefully lifted her chin, a regal proclamation of her predicament: "You married into the Ya Family; you’re one of them, and so is your maid!"
Xiaotao worried that Chu Xinyue’s excitement might induce an attack, restrained her fear and said: "It’s alright, Second Miss, it’s just confinement, nothing serious!"
Ya Chen narrowed his eyes, looking ahead and lowering his head close to her delicate ear, speaking in a deep and mocking voice:
"I’ve just sent these people off; you still think the matter isn’t big enough? Wanting to call attention again?"
Chu Xinyue controlled her trembling, understanding that escalating the matter would only harm Xiaotao, potentially increasing the punishment. She swallowed her pride, struggling to shake off his hand, and stepped back.
Jiayi quickly supported her upon noticing her intense tremor.
After Xiaotao was taken away by the gendarmes, Ya Chen didn’t linger long, tapping his cane and heading outside.
Jiayi, knowing he intended to check on Lan Yurou backstage, blocked his way angrily: "Ya Chen! What do you mean, not asking about this matter?"
Ya Chen paused, but didn’t turn back: "What is there to ask?"
Jiayi was enraged: "Xinyue didn’t instruct Xiaotao to injure her; it was Lan Yurou who reached out herself, leading everyone to believe Xinyue provoked deliberately!"
She nudged Chu Xinyue’s clothing, hinting: "Speak up, recount what happened just now!"
Chu Xinyue seemed to remain caught in the thought of Xiaotao being taken away, staying silent as if she hadn’t heard Jiayi’s words.
Jiayi was helpless.
Left without Chu Xinyue’s defense, Ya Chen didn’t wait long, stating indifferently: "Regardless of what actually happened, your sister’s reputation won’t suffer any damage. I’ve had the gendarmes inform everyone; no one dares speak of this outside. This matter is closed."
Closed?
It’s over just like that?
Jiayi was furious: "What do you mean!"
Chu Xinyue, usually calm as water, grasped Jiayi’s hand: "Let him go."
His thoughts were solely on Lan Yurou’s injury, not caring for anything else, so why stop him?
In the past, she would have desperately stopped him, explaining that Lan Yurou was framing her, refusing to let him leave.
But now, there’s no need.
She’s genuinely exhausted.
Ya Chen heard Chu Xinyue’s faint yet resolute voice, paused briefly, then said nothing, departing the terrace accompanied by the gendarmes.
Jiayi looked at Chu Xinyue, for the first time genuinely losing her temper:
"You didn’t explain in front of so many people, nor to Ya Chen now, why? Chu Xinyue, are you mute, you’re not some saintess in my memory!"
