Chapter 408: Doubt Jiang Yue
Translator: _Min_ |
Song Ling had no intention of changing the topic. His voice grave, he declared, “Niu Shan is the one who harmed Song Yu.”
Jiang Yue’s hand flew to her eyes in disbelief, her mouth agape, “The few times I interacted with Niu Shan, I thought he was a gentleman. I never imagined he’d be such a person behind the scenes!”
Her gaze briefly met Song Ling’s unchanging expression, then she turned to Niu Shan, anger lacing her voice. “Yuyu is my closest friend, and you dared to harm her. Brother Song Ling, someone like Niu Shan shouldn’t exist in this world. Kill him, I won’t tell anyone!”
Niu Shan, stunned by Jiang Yue’s call for his death, bore his pain and retorted furiously, “It was you who instructed me to do it, and now you’re throwing all the blame on me, you bit*h!”
Jiang Yue’s pupils contracted, fists clenched behind her back.
Song Ling’s face darkened, his voice sharp as an ice blade, “You instructed him?”
Jiang Yue, pale-faced and shaking her head, tears streaming down, pleaded, “No, I didn’t instruct him. Brother Song Ling, you must believe me. Don’t be misled by Niu Shan’s words. He’s only saying this because I just suggested you should kill him. He wants revenge.”
As she saw Song Ling’s disbelief, her crying intensified. “Yuyu and I share such a deep bond; I have no reason to harm her. And I love you so much. Song Yu is your sister; I would never harm her!”contemporary romance
Hearing this, Song Ling’s expression softened slightly.
Zhao Xuan, seizing the opportunity, interjected, “Niu Shan didn’t seem to be lying when he spoke earlier.”
Song Ling, sensing something amiss, fixed his icy gaze on Jiang Yue.
Furious, Jiang Yue wished she could stab Zhao Xuan. If not for him, Song Ling would have believed her by now.
She marched forward, kicking Niu Shan several times, crying out, “Why are you framing me? Is someone threatening your family and forcing you to do this?”
Niu Shan, kicked, instinctively wanted to curse Jiang Yue, but her threatening gaze brought him back to his senses.
He remembered being sent abroad by Jiang Yue, who promised to take care of his family in his absence. Revealing the truth now would mean their death.
He could disregard his parents and wife, but his son was his lifeline.
Jiang Yue, noticing Niu Shan’s realization, smiled subtly and interrogated, “Who made you frame me?”
Niu Shan quickly replied, “It was me, all my doing… I wanted to drag you down with me…”
Song Ling’s eyes narrowed, his tone cold, “Are you sure?”
Niu Shan affirmed, “Yes, I was just angry earlier, so I framed her to make you dislike her.”
Song Ling probed further, “Since you wanted to frame Jiang Yue, why change your story now?”
Niu Shan, speechless, struggled to reply.
Jiang Yue cursed him silently, then approached Song Ling, her voice soft, “Because I was harsh on him, he’s afraid to keep framing me.”
Zhao Xuan scoffed, “Miss Jiang Yue, how would you know what Niu Shan, the person involved, is thinking?”
Jiang Yue maintained her smile, pushing through, “It’s a guess. After all, Niu Shan, a grown man, wouldn’t easily admit the truth after being beaten by me.”
Finishing her statement, she looked up at Song Ling, her voice filled with feigned innocence, “Brother Song Ling, your assistant seems biased against me. You must believe me and not let him influence you.”
Zhao Xuan’s eyes widened as he turned to look at Song Ling and plead, “President Song, I…”
Song Ling cut Zhao Xuan off, addressing Jiang Yue, “You go back first. I’ll continue investigating the truth.”
Relieved, Jiang Yue softly agreed and left, murmuring, “Then I’ll leave first, Brother Song Ling.”
As she departed, Song Ling’s order to detain Niu Shan reached her ears.
Jiang Yue, confident Niu Shan wouldn’t betray her, wasn’t particularly worried, but she still wished Song Ling would kill him!
Song Ling, staring into space, inquired, “Zhao Xuan, do you think Jiang Yue is telling the truth?”
Zhao Xuan, decisive, responded, “No, and I believe Jiang Yue was threatening Niu Shan.”
Song Ling had his suspicions too, but Jiang Yue had saved him twice. It was hard for him to believe she had changed so drastically..
