Chapter 312: He Had Liked Her Since She Was Little
“Well, say something, sister-in-law. You better give Grandpa Lin an explanation.”
“Did you ever elope with Jingxuan?”
“Ye Erruo?”
The three of them started to attack the woman with their words.
“I did.” She admitted openly.
Su Qing Ning immediately grabbed this opportunity to dig in further. “Then did you start your relationship with Brother Jiangye only after you were caught by him?”

“Is Lin Jingxuan eyeing the inheritance?”
“Yes.”
Old Master Su shook his head and said, “Old man, have you checked out this woman’s background at all?”
His friend looked displeased. “Xiao Ruo, let me warn you that I’ll pursue the matter if Xiao Ye is harmed in any way.”
“Grandpa, are you doubting me now?” action
“How do you expect me to trust you?”
“Grandpa Lin, Brother Jiangye is an exceptional gentleman. Do you really want a useless, conniving woman to be with him?”
The woman in question merely pursed her lips in cold silence.
“Ye Erruo, let me ask you something. Was Lin Jingxuan the one who sent you to Brother Jiangye? Did he want you to snatch the Lins’ inheritance after gaining Brother Jiangye’s trust? Is this your real motive for getting close to Brother Jiangye?”
“This is none of your business.”
“You!”
Old Master Su chipped in as well. “Ye Erruo, are you in cahoots with Lin Jingxuan?”
“What does this have to do with you?”
“Xiao Ruo, is this the right attitude to have around an elder?” Grandpa Lin rebuked her with a frown before interrogating her further. “Let me ask you again: Are their allegations true?”
The woman responded softly, “No.”
“You better check her background, pal.”
The woman decided to clear the air once and for all. “Grandpa, regardless of what you may find out, I’ll make my stance clear. Lin Jingxuan is no longer around, and I’m truly sharing a life with Mo Jiangye now. My relationship with Jingxuan is in the past.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ye Erruo, you used to love Brother Jingxuan a lot. This is something we can easily investigate and confirm. Your love for him was so powerful that you were willing to sacrifice your life for him. Now, you had a sudden change of mind and decided to be with Brother Jiangye for no apparent reason. Who would believe you?” The girl added after snorting, “Other than me and grandpa, there’s no other person who truly cares about him in this world.”
“What a busybody! How shameless can you be? You should take a good look in the mirror.”
“Ye Erruo, it’s very uncouth of you to criticize my granddaughter this way.” Old Master Su objected with furrowed brows. He was starting to dislike this woman, who was in no way compatible with Mo Jiangye!
His good friend also chided her strongly. “Xiao Ruo, I’ll make my stance clear to you too. If my investigation confirms that you eloped with Jingxuan in the past and you developed a dubious interest in Xiao Ye afterward, I will oppose your marriage to him!”
The protagonist retaliated. “Grandpa, you cannot take things at face value. Not everything people say is the truth. I have my reasons for not telling the whole truth, but there’s one thing I can swear upon. I’m really leading a good, decent life with Mo Jiangye. I have no ulterior motive for being with him.”
“I only believe what I can see and hear.”
The woman knew right there and then that this discussion had ended. There was no way she could clear her name. Besides, given the constant instigation of the Sus, especially Su Qing Ning, the old man would surely be swayed against her.
It was true that she used to be nice to Lin Jingxuan, and that man had been eyeing the family fortune for a long time. This was something that everyone could tell.
“Sister-in-law, Grandpa Lin has accepted you simply because of Brother Jiangye. However, Grandpa will not be kind to anyone who plots against Brother Jiangye, not even you.” Su Qing Ning continued to provoke the other woman, knowing full well that this was something she could use to her advantage. After all, she was different from Ye Erruo. Grandpa Lin had watched her grow up with Mo Jiangye and had liked her since she was little.
“Grandpa?” The protagonist ignored her and addressed the old man softly.
