Chapter 195: Salvaging the Situation

Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying exchanged a glance, both filled with doubt. Was all of this orchestrated by someone?

Who was it?

Who instructed Sister Li?

Who wanted to harm Yan Yan?

Li Yi sobbed as she bent over, "It's my fault. When I saw Miss Qing Yan return to this house and Miss Yu Sha being neglected, I held a grudge against Miss Qing Yan in my heart. I wanted to find an opportunity to embarrass her... I intended for her to stumble, but I never expected that it would be Miss Yu Sha and Miss Zhang who ended up falling..."

As she spoke, she cried and knelt in front of Li Yu Sha, "I'm sorry, Miss Yu Sha. I never anticipated that I would harm you. I'm truly sorry..."

In the end, she shouldered all the blame alone...

Li Yu Sha's heart ached as she said, "Aunt Li, although you cared for me, you used the wrong approach. I haven't been neglected in this family. My parents and sister have been good to me. It was you who almost wrongly accused my sister, making our parents angry. You've truly disappointed me!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Yu Sha. I've let you down after all these years of your kindness..."

Zhang Ma added fuel to the fire, "Li Jie, you should never have done such a thing. You shouldn't have taken the opportunity to delete the surveillance footage. If you had done that, others would think I intentionally spilled the oil and conspired with you to delete the footage to harm Miss Qing Yan. If that were true, I wouldn't be able to rest even in death..."

"I'm sorry, Xiao Zhang. It was my own mistake, nothing to do with you."

Aunt Li knew that Miss Yu Sha would definitely compensate her generously afterward, so she took all the responsibility upon herself. "No one instructed me in this matter. It was my own jealousy towards Miss Qing Yan, my own desire to deal with her. It had nothing to do with Miss Yu Sha and Xiao Zhang..."

"You can leave now. You will not be allowed in this house anymore, and you and your family are forbidden from setting foot in any of the Li family's properties!" Song Qiaoying said, looking at Li Liyan and then turning her gaze to Xiao Qin. "You leave as well. Whoever disrespects Yan Yan will meet the same fate!"

"Yes!" The other servants bent over, thinking to themselves, "Madam is so good to Miss Qing Yan!"

Aunt Li and Xiao Qin tearfully thanked Madam, bid farewell to Li Yu Sha, and apologized to Qing Yan before going upstairs to pack their belongings.

"Now, it's time to settle your accounts," Song Qiaoying's gaze fell upon Li Yu Sha, filled with a hint of coldness.

Li Yu Sha hurriedly clung to her mother's legs, crying, "Mom, please listen to my explanation. It's true that I had fantasies about my brother-in-law because, from childhood until now, he has always been my fiance. It was natural for me to admire him. But then, one day, my sister appeared."

Liyusha burst into tears, her pear blossoms were filled with rain. "I couldn't control my feelings for him, and I made a mistake by saying things I shouldn't have to my brother-in-law. Afterwards, Zhang Ma criticized me severely, and I realized my mistake. I swear to the heavens that I will treat him as my brother-in-law from now on! If you don't believe me, ask Zhang Ma. I haven't even seen my brother-in-law during this time! How could I possibly be entangled with him?"

Zhang Ma quickly chimed in, "Madam, Miss Yusha is speaking the truth. Since then, she already has a boyfriend!"

Liyusha: ?????

Everyone: ?????

Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying were especially shocked, "Boyfriend??"

"Yes, it's Young Master Ji, Ji Tiancheng. He has been pursuing Miss Yusha since junior high school, for a full six years. Recently, Miss Yusha was completely moved by him and agreed to give it a try..."

Zhang Ma spoke with great sincerity, "Because they've only been dating for a few days, there are still too many uncertain factors, so we haven't informed the master and madam intentionally!"

"We originally planned to tell you after the end of summer vacation..." Liyusha's face showed the shyness and sweetness of a young girl. It was evident that she truly had feelings for Ji Tiancheng.

"You and Ji Tiancheng are really dating?" Song Qiaoying asked with a mixture of doubt and belief.

"Madam, I've been with Miss Yusha day and night, I can testify! I see them chatting till late at night and they've had more than one date! These days, Miss Yusha has been going out frequently, just to meet him!" Zhang Ma exclaimed.

"Zhang Ma!" Liyusha pretended to call out, as if she blamed Zhang Ma for revealing her secret.

Zhang Ma hastily said, "Miss Yusha, you have someone who cares and loves you. The master and madam will be happy for you. It's okay to speak up. Master and madam, if you don't believe it, Ji Young Master will appear tonight. He said he will take Miss Yusha to the movies. Then you'll know whether what I said is true!"

Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying exchanged glances. If Zhang Ma and Yusha were lying and randomly made up a person, how could that person happen to be taking Yusha to the movies tonight?

It seemed that they were truly dating...

If Yusha had someone she admired, it was also a good thing. They wouldn't have to worry about Si Yechen anymore.

They knew Yusha well. If she couldn't let go of Si Yechen, she wouldn't have agreed to another boy's pursuit and be with him!

In that case, they were really dating...

Lan Yi couldn't help but say, "Just now, Sister Li asked Miss Qing Yan to call Mr. Si and prove her innocence. Can't Yusha also call Ji Young Master and let him confirm whether they are really dating..."

"Lan, don't you believe Miss Yusha? Or don't you believe me? Do you think I randomly made up a person? Even if I did, how could Miss Yusha casually get involved with someone? Miss Yusha is a person with standards! Besides, if I made it up, how would I know that the person has plans to take Miss Yusha to see a movie tonight?"

"You..."

"Furthermore, Miss Yusha and Ji Shao have only been dating for a few days. If you call now, it will only make things confusing and affect the young couple's relationship!"

The Ji family's background is also good. Although not as powerful as the Li family, the difference is not far...

Ji Tian has also grown up well, he is an agile child.

Song Qiaoying continued, "Then why do you bully Yan Yan in private?"

"Madam, you've misunderstood!" Zhang Ma once again interjected to help explain, "It's not Miss Yusha's fault that Li Jie takes matters into her own hands and secretly deals with Miss Qing Yan just because she doesn't like her!"

"Just because Li Jie is usually nice to Miss Yusha doesn't mean she can blame all the terrible things she does on Miss Yusha. That would be so unjust for Miss Yusha!"

"Miss Yusha never hit Miss Qing Yan or cursed at her. It's probably Xiao Qin and Li Jie's mischief. They disrespect Miss Qing Yan. Please, Master and Madam, see the truth!"

"Dad, Mom, if I really bully my sister, may I be struck by lightning and never have a peaceful death!" Li Yusha refused to accept it and knew that her sworn statement wouldn't come true, so she became more fierce with her words. "I'll go out and get hit by a car, choke on food, or be hit by falling objects..."

"Enough!" Song Qiaoying couldn't listen any longer. "If you truly have no ulterior motives toward Archen and haven't instructed others to bully Yan Yan, then let this matter rest. But if I find out that you're bullying Yan Yan and still harboring illusions about Archen..."
