Chapter 1519: Chapter 1520: Unprecedented Severity

Chu Xi’s brow twitched twice violently, and she denied it outright, “Mrs. Jiang, I didn’t know anything. I’ve been by your side these past few days. I didn’t even know Rong Yan was kidnapped until you just mentioned it. How could I possibly have kidnapped her?”

Jiang Chenyue’s expression darkened as she gripped the table, neither affirming nor outright denying belief in her, and said coldly, “If it has nothing to do with you, why would Li Shengxiao send over the tattoo from Chu Liuqi’s arm? And I also heard that your father hired someone to try to run Yan down.”

Chu Xi keenly noticed her intimate way of addressing Rong Yan, feeling even more puzzled by her unusual attitude toward her. But given her own precarious situation now, she couldn’t afford to dwell on it too much.

She couldn’t let Jiang Chenyue think she was the kind of girl who was cruel and ruthless!

“My dad? Could there be some mistake? Why would my dad target Rong Yan?”

“How would I know why he’s targeting Rong Yan.” Jiang Chenyue kept her eyes on her as she spoke, clearly insinuating something. “He’s your father. You should know better than me.”

Her words hit too heavily.

Chu Xi’s face turned pale, then flushed, as she stood there clutching her clothes tightly. Staring back at Jiang Chenyue, she stubbornly argued, “I truly don’t know anything about this. If I wanted to target her, I could do it directly. This time, I honestly had nothing to do with it.”

She really didn’t know Chu Feng would be this foolish—failing to take Rong Yan’s life and even getting caught in the act, dragging her into the mess.

An absolute idiot!

No wonder he’d accomplished nothing all these years, even while leaning on the Chu Family.

Jiang Chenyue fixed her gaze on her face, as though analyzing whether she was telling the truth or lying. Chu Xi genuinely had no involvement this time, which allowed her to stand tall and face Jiang Chenyue’s intense scrutiny without flinching.

After several more minutes of examining her, the sharp gaze Jiang Chenyue directed at her gradually softened and faded away.

Chu Xi quietly let out a breath of relief.

But before she could fully steady herself, she heard Jiang Chenyue’s warning voice: “It’s good that this has nothing to do with you. Don’t involve yourself with Rong Yan.”

Chu Xi couldn’t hold back any longer and looked at her in confusion. “Mrs. Jiang, why are you protecting her? She stole Miss Chu’s fiancé. Shouldn’t we teach her a lesson?”

In the future, she would become the ‘real Miss Chu,’ and everything that truly belonged to Chu Xi would also become hers. She couldn’t help but pay attention to Jiang Chenyue’s inexplicable attitude toward Rong Yan.

Jiang Chenyue had no intention of explaining her actions and simply said indifferently, “You don’t need to know my reasons. You just need to remember what I told you—don’t act smart and give Rong Yan trouble. Especially things like the kidnapping and attempted murder that happened today. Let me make this very clear: I will not tolerate it. If I find out you did something behind my back, even if it’s you, I will not forgive you. Understood?”

The weight in her voice behind the phrase “even if it’s you” carried a deeper meaning, one Chu Xi understood clearly.

Jiang Chenyue now believed she was the lost, rightful Chu Xi. But even if she was her ‘biological daughter,’ she still wouldn’t allow her to harm Rong Yan… This left Chu Xi feeling indescribable emotions. Aside from escalating confusion, she also felt jealousy and disgust.

Clearly, clearly even the heavens were on her side, letting Jiang Chenyue believe she was the long-lost daughter. Her life should have been smooth sailing, granting her everything she could ever want. So why was it that the people around her one by one all stood on Rong Yan’s side? Why?
