Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 27

This future brother-in-law could recognize a person’s character.

Chen Jili looked at Ning Qing, a little helpless and wanted to laugh.

If what she said was true, then she must have offended someone.

The character of this young lady was indeed worrisome. If she didn’t agree with someone, she would inadvertently make enemies. It was not impossible to be retaliated by someone in secret.

However, they were some small disputes, and it was unlikely that such a thing would happen unless it was Ning Yuanshan who offended someone.

“Uncle Ning have you offended someone?”

Ning Yuanshan had been in shock hearing what Ning Qing said, his daughter almost lost her life.

Chen Jili’s question was even more shocking, and he thought about it. He, a businessman who sold makeup, had conflicts of interests, but it had never risen to the point of killing and murder.

So he shook his head and denied it.

“It seems that Uncle Ning really wanted to lead Miss Ning to the Yamen.”

Ning Qing was pleasantly surprised and said, “Smelly … oh no, Third Master Chen, do you believe me? There are evil people who hurt me.”

Chen Jili smiled and turned to his father, and said, “Dad, this matter may be strange. Let me investigate it for a while. Besides, life is a big matter, and if this happens, our Chen Mansion also has a responsibility to teach the bad guy who took the opportunity to harm Ms. Ning in our mansion. Fortunately, there was no danger.

“This matter shouldn’t be blamed on Miss Ning. Besides, she was also frightened. I’ll go and call all the maids and let her identify who was the one. I will then report it to the officer.”

Chen Wangxiang’s face was so expressionless that his thoughts couldn’t be guessed.

Chen Jili continued, “Although this happened today at the full moon feast, my nephew was so lucky. If his father had a heart he should go to the Fukang Temple tomorrow to ask the abbot. There should be a way to resolve the compensation.”

Hearing this, Chen Wangxiang’s face slightly loosened.

On the side, Chen Boren gritted his teeth. It looked like his father would agree to his third son’s request again. He would even believe such a simple lie he told.

Really eccentric!

Today was his son’s full moon feast, and he couldn’t go without getting an explanation, “Jili, can you really believe a little girl? She is telling a lie, but you still believe her? What else? Miss Ning is also a victim, so should our family apologize to her?”

“Big Brother …” Chen Jili said, “Today is my nephew’s full moon banquet. In such a case, I will definitely not help outsiders. But big brother can’t assert that all she said was a lie. A girl would certainly not lie about issues concerning her own reputation. That kind of price is too much. Everyone knows how important a reputation is to a girl.”

“So I believe Miss Ning, and please, I ask Elder Brother to let go and let the official decide the truth.”

“You……”

Chen Boren knew that he couldn’t argue with him, but he wasn’t convinced.

“Forget it, let’s do it according to Chen Jilli. If it was really as the Ning girl said, then our Chen family wouldn’t blame anyone. If she was really the one who set the fire, then let her live in Fukang Temple and pray for my ancestors for a month.”

Chen Wangxiang made the decision. He didn’t want the eldest and youngest sons to have unnecessary disputes.

Although it was a bit excessive to ask his daughter to pray at Fukang Temple for a month, that was only if her words proved to be false.

Ning Yuanshan was now more worried about her safety.

Would the gangster never stop, and try to murder Ning Qing again.

Chen Wangxiang could only see things till this. The full moon banquet wasn’t over yet.

So he said, “Brother Ning, this matter will be handed over to Jili for the time being. I have to greet other guests, so I will not accompany you. Please help yourself.”

So far, Ning Yuanshan had to comply.

After Chen Wangxiang left, Chen Boren followed.
