Chapter 389: Chapter 389 - Don’t Embarrass Yourself in Public_1
Ye Lu turned around, looking at Gu Yan with surprise.
The bodyguards glanced at each other, not daring to disobey they hastily released Ye Lu.
Yuan Jiayin’s face turned extremely ugly.
But considering Gu Yan was not easy to provoke and was a partner of the Shang Group, she didn’t dare to disrespect him.
Ye Lu let out a sigh of relief, walked over to Gu Yan’s side. This woman wasn’t allowing her to go in, but since Gu Yan was here to attend the memorial, she, as his companion, could enter even without an invitation.
She took his hand, anxiously saying, "Let’s get in fast, I have something very important."
Seeing her anxious complexion, Gu Yan didn’t ask any further and took her towards the entrance.
Yuan Jiayin panicked and blocked their way. "President Gu, I am glad to welcome you. But this woman, I cannot allow her in."
Ye Lu’s face turned stern. With this much hindrance, it was as if Yuan Jiayin had something to hide.
"What’s your reason?" Gu Yan stared at her coldly.
Yuan Jiayin lifted her chin high. "Old Sir Shang saw this woman, and he passed away the same day. She clearly angered him to death. Now, tell me, can I let her in?"
A few affluent ladies standing nearby took her side, saying that a potential murderer shouldn’t be let in.
"So you insist she killed Old Sir Shang. Very well." Gu Yan suddenly took out his phone and began to dial a number.
Yuan Jiayin was taken aback. "What are you doing?"
"You claim to be so certain, then I’ll help you by calling the police. If she’s indeed the murderer, it would serve right as retribution for Old Sir Shang, but if not ..." Gu Yan gave a cold, sharp gaze, "you are aware of the consequences for false accusations, they bear legal liability."
Yuan Jiayin’s complexion was terrible - if she had evidence, she would have called the police and had Ye Lu arrested by now.
This man was truly hateful.
The rest of the affluent ladies were scared off upon hearing this and stayed at a distance, not daring to make another comment.
Yuan Jiayin quickly tried to reconcile with a forced smile and grabbed his phone.
"President Gu, I was merely speculating, I didn’t mean it literally."
"If you don’t understand the law, you should learn more before embarrassing yourself. As Young Mistress Shang, allowing your words to run wild like this is even embarrassing for me on behalf of the Shang Family." Gu Yan coldly took his phone back and gave it to Ye Lu, "Clean it, don’t let anything dirty stick to it."
Under the public gaze, Yuan Jiayin was humiliated like this, her face turned red from anger and her body was trembling.
Ye Lu almost couldn’t help laughing, she never thought Gu Yan could be this savage. But it was gratifying, a warm feeling filled her heart as Gu Yan was indeed protecting her.
Gu Yan led Ye Lu into the venue. There were many people inside, but it was quiet. Everyone walked forward to bow in front of the shrine.
Shang Jingchen was standing on one side, looking worn as he reciprocated the guests’ greetings.
As Ye Lu looked at Shang Jingchen, she who used to hate this man for constantly tormenting her, only felt that he was quite pitiful now, his beloved woman had killed his grandfather, and he was still blissfully ignorant.
If one day, he found out the truth, one could only imagine his regret and agony.
As she reached up front, Shang Jingchen lifted his head and was about to speak when he saw her, his face immediately changed and his eyes were filled with intense hatred.
Ye Lu was taken aback, she immediately understood that Yuan Jiayin must have slandered her in front of him. It seemed like he too believed that she had killed Old Sir Shang.
"What are you doing here?" Shang Jingchen glared at her, "Get out of here, you are not welcomed."
His undisguised angry shout drew the attention of the guests inside the hall to their side.
Being publicly scolded by him, Ye Lu felt annoyed but she still managed to keep calm.
