Chapter 754: The So-Called Witness
Editor: Henyee Translations
As soon as he said that, the whispers in the surroundings instantly stopped. Everyone looked at each other.
Gu Yundong also raised her eyebrows. “Witness? Where are they?”
Madam Sun sneered and shouted into the door, “Sister-in-law Wu, tell me, is this Chen Jingwen dirty? Did he steal your things in the past?”
There was no movement inside the door for a long time. After a long time, a figure slowly walked out.
Gu Yundong was stunned. It was her??
Chen Yulan’s husband, Wu Chong’s mother.
Madam Wu dawdled to Madam Sun’s side. Madam Sun looked at Gu Yundong and said, “Madam Wu’s daughter-in-law is Chen Jingwen’s cousin. The last time her son got married, Chen Jingwen also went. In the end, there were a few gifts missing from the house. Later, they found out that Chen Jingwen took them all. Isn’t he used to stealing?”
Chen Jingwen was also stunned. Of course, he knew Madam Wu.
After hearing Madam Sun’s words, he hurriedly shook his head and said, “I didn’t. I didn’t take her things at all.”
Gu Yundong found it extremely funny. She looked at Madam Wu coldly. “I’ll say it again. Where’s the evidence?”
Madam Wu felt a little guilty. She stammered and whispered, “It’s been so long. Where’s the evidence?”
“Oh, so this is still your guess?”
Madam Wu could not raise her head. Gu Yundong’s teasing gaze landed on the teacher.
“The way Master Wen handles things is really impressive. On one hand, he says that he doesn’t talk to women, but on the other hand, he can suspect his student of stealing and chase him out of the school because of a woman’s unreasonable guess. The teacher trusts this Auntie Wu very much. I’m impressed.”
Master Wen’s expression changed drastically and he quickly explained, “I didn’t. I just… I just…”
Just what? Yes, he had indeed listened to his wife’s words, which was why he did not have a good impression of Chen Jingwen. And his wife had also listened to Madam Wu’s words and made pillow talk.
At the end of the day, the cause was indeed Madam Wu.
Master Wen was furious. He suddenly looked at Madam Wu and said, “Tell me, why are you so sure that he stole your things?”
Under everyone’s gaze, Madam Wu knew that if she did not say anything, she would probably not be able to raise her head in the future.
She secretly took a deep breath and suddenly raised her head. “It was Chen Jingwen who stole it. Back then, only he ran into the room where the gift was placed. The thing was gone. If it wasn’t him, who took it? I’m an adult. I have no grudges with such a child. There’s no reason to wrong him, right?”
“No reason?” Gu Yundong sneered. “How can there be no reason? Is it not a reason that the Wu family and the Chen family to fall out? Is it not a reason that your son wants to take in a concubine and the Chen family doesn’t allow it and comes to your house to settle scores? Your Wu family is in the wrong first. You don’t dare to look for the adults, so you schemed against a child. How impressive.”
After Gu Yundong was done, she looked at Madam Sun, “So she is your witness, right? This is truly an eye-opener. She made up stuff in front of you because of personal grudges, and you lambasted an innocent child based on that. In the end, your husband blamed everything on him and chased him out of school. Elementary Scholar? Teacher? You’re simply ruining the kids.”
