Chapter 77: Kicking Jiang Huaiyu Out of the University Campus (Part 12)
Jiang Huaiyu yelled in agitation, “Cheng Yingli, did you do this on purpose?”
The crowd was puzzled. You caught a thief, a classmate helped to call the police, why are you yelling so loudly?
And saying someone did it on purpose? Could it be that there are accidental calls to the police instead of deliberate ones?
Jiang Huaiyu suddenly realized that all the classmates were looking at her strangely, even Wang Yixin was looking at her with a peculiar expression. She then realized that she had just lost her composure: This was not the attitude she was supposed to have now!
She immediately softened her tone, “Classmate Cheng Yingli, as I said before, she is my sister, this is a family dispute, how can we call the police to handle it? Could she really be against me—”
“She is unkind to you, so you can’t be unjust, right?”
Cheng Yingli smiled: “But I just can’t stand thieves, so when I discovered one, I called the police. I didn’t do anything wrong, did I? And—”
She pointed at Jiang Mengyu: “This person, who you’re calling a thief, has boldly said she wants to report to the police. Maybe, you have misunderstood her? Maybe she has been falsely accused and can’t prove her innocence, so she wants the help of the police officers, right?
So, I went ahead and called the police. I didn’t report the wrong thing, did I?”
Could Jiang Huaiyu even say the police were called in error?
Jiang Mengyu looked at Cheng Yingli in surprise. She realized that Cheng Yingli was helping her!
The tension on her face eased. She smiled at Cheng Yingli: “Thank you, classmate. You’re absolutely right; indeed, I’ve been wronged.”
She pointed at herself: “Just look at me. Do I look like a younger sister?”
Then, pointing at Jiang Huaiyu: “And look at her, does she look like an older sister to you?”
Only then did the classmates start to notice the appearance of the two women. Upon closer inspection, something seemed off.
The person who had been continuously referred to as the younger sister by Jiang Huaiyu looked taller than Jiang Huaiyu (actually, before her growth, Mengyu was about the same height as Huaiyu, but she grew a lot taller after absorbing Essence of Heaven and Earth and undergoing the Bone Marrow Cleansing in the cave), and her face appeared more mature than Jiang Huaiyu’s, which didn’t resemble a younger sister’s at all.
Looking at Jiang Huaiyu, she was quite shorter than Jiang Mengyu, and since she was a year younger than Mengyu, she looked much more youthful.
It wasn’t obvious until Mengyu pointed it out, but with a comparison, everyone could immediately see that Jiang Huaiyu looked more like the younger sister.
Moreover, what was strange was that this person, who was accused of being a thief, kept insisting on calling the police with full transparency.
Thieves fear the police; this is an unbreakable rule throughout the ages. Yet, this person labeled a thief was asking to call the police, while the one who caught the thief seemed distressed by the call.
So, who is the real thief?
Jiang Huaiyu, hearing Mengyu discussing their physical appearances, became anxious: “That’s because I’ve been malnourished since I was young, so I didn’t grow much, while my sister was Mom’s favorite, receiving the best food, clothes, and care since young, which is why she grew to be tall and strong—”
Hearing Jiang Huaiyu say this, the classmates felt it wasn’t without reason. Looking at Mengyu’s physique, she indeed did not look like she had been mistreated.
However, they were unaware that Mengyu had previously been skinny and pale, but then she started cultivating, absorbing Essence of Heaven and Earth for Body Refinement, which dramatically changed her whole aura and appearance.
Secondly, she had been cooking for herself in the cave on the cliffside, as her storage talisman contained plentiful supplies of rice, flour, meat. She had been there for a month, indulging in food, and even ate some supplements, like ginseng, to aid her cultivation.
One month was enough time for her to make up for her past deficiencies.
Now, she indeed didn’t look like a girl who had been mistreated by an adopted daughter.
But the maturity on her face, even with a touch of vicissitudes, was indeed real, something everyone could not deny. And the youthful innocence on Student Jiang’s face was also clearly evident to all.
