Ou Jun arrives to find his sister, Xia Chuyi, in a tense situation with a male college student who is accusing her of pushing their adoptive mother into a lake. Ou Jun immediately believes his sister is being framed and questions her about the circumstances, setting the stage for a confrontation.

No sooner had Ou Jun finished his inquiry than before Xia Chuyi could even utter a response, a male university student interjected, "Hey, what's with you siblings?"

With hands planted firmly on his hips, the young man adopted a self-righteous stance, demanding, "What do you mean 'What are you planning to do'?"

"This lady's actions are illegal!" the male university student declared with indignation. "Are you just going to handle things as you please? Do you still have any regard for the rule of law?"

Xia Chuyi was left speechless. ...

Witnessing the male university student's outburst, Xia Chuyi once again mused that the individual orchestrating events had truly found their perfect pawn.

Individuals like this young man were precisely the type who possessed an overabundance of self-perceived justice, albeit in a rather dense fashion.

And the reckless, dense sort were notoriously single-minded, making them exceptionally difficult to reason with on many matters.

Consequently, changing this male university student's perspective was proving to be no simple feat.

"Hey, classmate..." Ou Jun's patience frayed upon hearing the male university student's pronouncements, a clear dissatisfaction evident in his tone.

Ou Jun directly confronted the student with an imposing demeanor, querying, "You claim my sister broke the law; did you witness it firsthand?"

Ou Jun's gaze was intensely fixed upon the male university student.

"Yes, did you truly see it with your own eyes?" At this juncture, Xiao Jingqi also chimed in, "Did you actually witness Chuyi push someone? Don't spout nonsense when you haven't seen the situation clearly!"

Standing beside Xia Chuyi, Xiao Jingqi felt a surge of both anger and vexation.

Anger ignited by the slanderous words of the foolish student!

Vexation stemmed from her regret at having momentarily left Xia Chuyi's side.

Observe, the moment she turned her head, trouble had already surfaced concerning Xia Chuyi.

Xiao Jingqi felt she had failed in her duty as a bodyguard.

Faced with the combined interrogation of Ou Jun and Xiao Jingqi.

Just as Xia Chuyi had anticipated, the obtuse male university student remained entirely unfazed. He even puffed out his chest boldly, proclaiming, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard this aunt say so!"

The simpleton continued, "Furthermore, I observed this aunt in the water while your sister watched coldly from the shore."

"Allow me to ask, if your sister didn't push her into the water, how could she have coincidentally ended up right there?" the foolish young man asserted with conviction.

"Moreover, her expression at the time was utterly indifferent, as if she harbored animosity towards the elderly aunt!" The stupid university student felt increasingly righteous with each word, asking, "Aren't all these factors sufficient evidence to reveal the truth of the matter, enough to demonstrate that she pushed the old aunt into the water?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi was rendered utterly speechless.

Who claimed she was watching impassively from the shore, unwilling to offer aid?

In reality, her initial intention was to plunge into the water and rescue her.

It was merely that the foolish young man reacted with such haste, jumping in before Xia Chuyi could, which led her to withhold her own attempt at a rescue.

As for the indifferent expression...

Despite the twenty years Xia Chuyi and Mother Xia had spent as mother and daughter, there was, frankly, no genuine maternal bond between them.

In her past life and this one, considering all that Mother Xia had done, Xia Chuyi's restraint from blame or resentment was already a testament to her magnanimity.

However, when contemplating a life-or-death situation, Xia Chuyi had indeed stepped forward with the intention to save Mother Xia the moment she saw her fall into the water.

Once Mother Xia was safely rescued, Xia Chuyi certainly wasn't obligated to harbor any positive emotions towards her.

Yet, Xia Chuyi's subsequent reaction inadvertently became perceived as "evidence" of her malevolence in the eyes of the foolish student.
