Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Why Use a Cleaver to Kill a Chicken?

Song Ting roared furiously, "What explanation do you want from me? Do you think I’m afraid of your letter? Lin Xuezhu, I’d rather give up on going to Beidu and settle this matter with you."

A flash of triumph crossed Lin Xuezhu’s eyes, but before she could open her mouth, Song Yunuan said seriously, "Comrade Lin, the cause of your argument has already been explained to us by Chief Ghu, but I think we can’t just take one side of the story. So, we are here to resolve the issue.

Speak up, tell us how my Youngest Aunt has hurt you. If what you are saying is true, then it proves that my Youngest Aunt has been morally at fault.

We will not only stop her from going to Beidu but will also take her back to Erdao River to farm. Lots of people are here today, and I have also invited a police officer to bear witness. The truth and lies will be clarified today.

However, if what you say is false, if you are spreading rumors and slandering, you will not only have to apologize publicly to my Youngest Aunt but also take the initiative to leave the art troupe.

Furthermore, from now on, if we hear any rumors about my Youngest Aunt, for every time we hear it you must compensate her a hundred yuan, with no cap.

Alright, begin now. We promise to listen attentively and to collect evidence seriously. There’s a saying that goes, ’Never wrong a good person, but also never let a bad person off the hook.’

Song Yunuan paused, then said gently, "Let’s begin now."

For some reason, there was complete silence on the scene.

Actually, the Song family really had never seen Song Yunuan’s ability to take control of a situation.

Song Yunuan, without waiting for Lin Xuezhu to speak, turned to ask Song Ting, "Youngest Aunt, if it’s true, do you agree to return to the countryside to farm?"

Song Ting agreed without hesitation, "I agree."

Song Yunuan then asked Lin Xuezhu, "Comrade Lin, what about you?"

Lin Xuezhu seemed a bit stunned.

Something seemed off.

Suddenly, she pointed at Song Yunuan, "Why are you speaking? Who says you have the right to speak here?"

Song Yunuan curled her lips slightly, "From now on, I will handle all matters regarding my Youngest Aunt. Youngest Aunt, is that alright?"

Song Ting nodded vigorously, "Little Nuan can represent me; I’ll listen to whatever Little Nuan says."

Lin Xuezhu was infuriated to the point of laughter.

"So the Song family has a student taking the field now?"

"There’s no need for overkill. Oh, sorry, that wasn’t polite. What I mean is, I can make decisions for my Youngest Aunt. If she has wronged you, I will have her apologize to you."

Lin Xuezhu: ...

"Or, are you simply fabricating lies and slandering her? Are you just making things up because you are jealous of my Youngest Aunt’s excellence and thus slinging mud at her?"

Lin Xuezhu exclaimed, "It is the truth; I did not spread any rumors."

"Then go ahead and say it, lay it out one by one, and let everyone here see if my Youngest Aunt is indeed morally corrupt."

Song Yunuan’s tone shifted, and she turned to look at the silent Lew Yuan.

"I know you, you’re Comrade Lew, also one of the parties involved. Before I question you about certain things, I must reprimand you."

Huh?

Everyone was bewildered by Song Yunuan’s approach.

Why was she now turning to Lew Yuan?

And of involving Lew Yuan, did that make Lin Xuezhu even more incensed?

But it was still somewhat baffling, what was she reprimanding him for?

Being indecisive and two-timing?

But Lew Yuan replied calmly, "Feel free to reprimand me."

This Song Yunuan, he witnessed for the first time today.

Prior, he had only heard that she was an exceptional and extraordinary young girl.

But today, upon observation, it indeed lived up to the reputation.

Song Yunuan spoke earnestly, "I must criticize you first, since you’re engaged now, you should be cautious and maintain your distance from female comrades. Even if you’re asking for directions, you should ask someone of the same gender. Any elder man would do. That way, you avoid the trouble of being misunderstood.

The same goes for the workplace, try not to talk to single female comrades, otherwise, if your fiancee sees it, that woman will be wronged without cause, wouldn’t that be unfair? So, if not for your own sake, at least consider others. Well, I’ve said my piece, Comrade Lin Xuezhu, it’s your turn."

The conference room once again fell into an inexplicable silence.

Lin Xuezhu felt her face burning uncomfortably.

Was Song Yunuan scolding her or mocking her?

Just as Lin Xuezhu was about to speak, Song Yunuan said with a smile, "My earlier proposal was agreeable to my Youngest Aunt, yet you, the innocent victim, are still hesitating. Could it be that you are fabricating rumors and slandering without cause? But many heard the insults you hurled, and now the police are here too. I must seek justice for my Youngest Aunt."

Lin Xuezhu clenched her teeth in frustration; everything was a mess, her mind was a jumble, and she’d forgotten what she wanted to say.

She felt overwhelmed before it even began, all thanks to Song Yunuan’s tactics.

She glared at Song Yunuan angrily, "What justice are you seeking? I am the one who has been wronged here."

"Then tell me, what injustice have you suffered?" Song Yunuan immediately asked.

"Lew Yuan went on a business trip to the provincial city and didn’t buy me a thing, yet he bought a book for Song Ting. How can they be so shameless?"

Song Yunuan glared, "Lin Xuezhu, watch your mouth. Don’t insult my Youngest Aunt without evidence, or I will call you a despicable person, jealousy twisting your very being!"

Lin Xuezhu: ...

She felt like she was going to explode with anger.

Chu Zizhou, however, had a hint of amusement in his eyes; now he wasn’t worried.

Because with Little Nuan stepping in, success was assured.

His thoughts began to wander, hypothetically, if Song Yunuan went to the Gu family’s home for a formal visit, it seemed improbable that they would allow Little Nuan to be slighted.

They might even end up disgracing themselves.

Song Ting felt the suffocating frustration in her chest beginning to dissolve.

Song Yunuan continued, "In front of Chief Ghu just now, my Youngest Aunt said she had already paid, and Lew Yuan admitted it himself, while you insist no one saw the money exchange hands, so you firmly believe no payment was made. Then, Lin Xuezhu, can you prove my Youngest Aunt didn’t pay? Don’t simply say maybe she should have—I want evidence!"

Lin Xuezhu: "She didn’t pay."

Song Yunuan sneered, "Then I say she did pay, now what?"

Lin Xuezhu’s eyes darted, "You can’t prove she paid either, can you?"

Song Yunuan spread her hands, "If you can prove the payment wasn’t made, then we’ll go by your word. But if you can’t present evidence, let’s move on to the next point."

Lin Xuezhu, with a darkened expression, thought hard and felt irritated.

Song Yunuan was too cunning, so adept at silencing her.

She wanted to make a scene, but she knew Chief Ghu would reprimand her.

She could only huff angrily, "I have no evidence for this."

Who knew that Song Ting’s niece was so articulate.

From her arrival till now, she seemed not to have initiated a single topic herself.

She wanted to curse, but Song Yunuan didn’t give her the chance to open her mouth.

Song Yunuan said, "This matter of buying the book is actually easy to prove, and soon I will tell you how it’s possible to substantiate whether the payment was made or not. So, let’s move on to the next issue. Hey, Lin Xuezhu, speak up, don’t space out. Everyone’s time is precious."

Lin Xuezhu, with a face turned livid with rage: ...

Song Yunuan, you’re the one not letting me talk, so why is it that I’m the one daydreaming and wasting everyone’s time?
