Chapter 229: Chapter 229: The More One Tries to Justify Himself, the Worse He Looks

Ye Yao’s expression stiffened.

Shen Weiyi said, "Lady Ye, I don’t quite understand what you mean. What do you mean by you didn’t know things would turn out this way? I remember making it very clear that day. It’s not impossible for me to drop the charges, as long as you make a public apology, I will not pursue the matter further. It was you, Lady Ye, who vehemently disagreed, which is why Shen Zhe had to take the blame and was taken away by the police. I thought Lady Ye valued her own face more than her boyfriend’s, preferring to have her boyfriend detained rather than admit her own mistakes in public. It turns out I was wrong; it wasn’t for your own face, but for your cousin’s, making it seem as if you sisters’ faces are precious, but our Shen Family’s face is not?"

"I didn’t mean that," Ye Yao’s eyes flashed with panic.

Her original intention was to extricate herself from the situation, but instead, she found herself sinking deeper into trouble.

It was all Shen Weiyi’s fault, that despicable girl.

Ye Yao couldn’t help but hate Shen Weiyi once again in her heart, wondering how she could be so difficult to deal with.

Shen Tan sneered from the side, "What’s going on? My brother was getting along just fine; how could he possibly be at odds with his own sisters? So it’s all because you’ve been stirring up trouble. You sure are devoted to sisterly affection, protecting your cousin so well, yet causing disunity in our family, turning siblings against each other, and even getting my brother detained. How can you, as a woman, be so scheming?"

"I didn’t, I’m not, you’ve misunderstood..." Ye Yao’s face turned even paler as she hurriedly explained.

But not a single person wanted to hear her speak.

"Shut up!"

Second Mrs. Shen, with a dark expression, interrupted her, seeming almost ready to tear Ye Yao apart as she said, "I was wondering why my son would suddenly be taken away by the police, so it was all your doing? Who do you think you are, daring to make my son take the fall for you? You’ve got quite the nerve. Get out of here, you’re not welcome in the Shen Family."

She had not known about these matters before and thought Shen Zhe had only done those stupid things because he was misled by someone else. She had thought about having Ye Yao take the blame to get her son out, but because Mr. Shen insisted on not complicating matters, she had to abandon the idea. She had to watch her son get locked up for so many days.

So it turned out that this incident had nothing to do with her son from start to finish; it was all caused by these conniving sisters, who had let her son take the blame and be punished, while she refused to apologize, watching idly as her son was taken away by the police.

Second Mrs. Shen trembled with rage. She had already disliked Ye Yao somewhat, but now that dislike had escalated to extreme aversion. Such a disaster of a person still wished to enter the Shen Family? She must be dreaming.

Mr. Shen then spoke up, "Lady Ye, today is a family dinner for us, and it’s not convenient to have outsiders present. I’ll have the butler take you back first."

This was clearly a direct dismissal.

Ye Yao was now in a complete panic, hurrying to grab Shen Zhe’s hand and saying, "Ah Zhe, you believe me, I really didn’t do it on purpose."

Shen Zhe was also feeling uncomfortable at this moment. He pulled his hand back, impatiently saying, "Alright, you go back first!" He had previously thought himself to be quite manly, but now, with Shen Weiyi and Shen Tan’s words, he seemed like a fool.

Shen Zhe felt he had lost face.

Seeing the expressions of his family, he realized that if he kept her here, he would inevitably be scolded by his grandfather, his father, his mother...
