Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 675

Chapter 675: Chapter 671: The Girl Who Made a Mistake

——————

Xie Jingchen’s face was grim as he scrutinized his youngest sister with confusion, his forehead protruding with several angry ╬-shaped veins, and he spoke sternly:

"Xiaoqi, on our way to the capital, we encountered bandits, and your Third Sister-in-law was nearly in an accident. It was Chun Mei who stood in front of your Third Sister-in-law and saved her, allowing your Third Sister-in-law to remain unharmed. From Third Brother’s point of view, Chun Mei has done nothing wrong."

Even owing a debt of gratitude to Xie Jingchen himself.

Besides, no matter how wicked Wang Xiuzhen had been, she and Wang Chunmei were entirely different individuals. Should one be punished for the other’s errors just because they were once close friends? Surely not.

Not to mention that Wang Chunmei and Wang Xiuzhen were merely ordinary close friends, even if they were blood-related siblings, Xie Jingchen would not treat them the same.

Judgment must be based on ’evidence of guilt.’ What crime has Wang Chunmei committed?

"What? Is Third Sister-in-law alright, is she feeling unwell?" Upon hearing Third Brother’s words, Xie Jingzi immediately wanted to rush back to the main room, her sorrowful expression replaced by concern.

Previously, she had only noticed that Third Sister-in-law’s complexion was a bit off, but she had not realized that Third Sister-in-law had encountered another ’accident’.

Xie Jingchen’s robust frame blocked her, and his large hands pressed directly on Xiaoqi’s shoulders.

"Xiaoqi, don’t panic, isn’t your Third Sister-in-law sitting fine on the sofa?" Xie Jingchen knew how close Xiaoqi was with his wife, so he had been prepared for the shock his words might cause her.

If he let Little Sister run back to the room in horror, he was afraid it might frighten his wife and child. Therefore, he used a bit more strength, firmly holding Xiaoqi in place.

"Oh~yes, indeed!" Xie Jingzi, holding her heart, stood there dazed, gradually calming down as she stared at Third Brother’s composed demeanor.

"Third Brother understands that saying this to you might not seem fair. But Xiaoqi, Chun Mei has never harmed you, not even in thought."

At most, she had only fantasized about him, but now, drawn by his little wife’s personal charm, her infatuation had shifted from him to an obsession with his wife.

Thinking of this, Xie Jingchen touched his nose helplessly, not even knowing what to make of this mess.

Hearing this, Xie Jingzi’s eyes reddened. Even if Wang Chunmei had saved Third Sister-in-law, for which she was grateful, Wang Chunmei had indeed hurt her feelings.

The three of them used to be such good sisters, and yet the ones who hurt her the most were these two friends. Although Wang Chunmei hadn’t done anything, her conduct during Wang Xiuzhen’s wrongdoing clearly showed she stood by Wang Xiuzhen.

That alone was enough to provoke Xie Jingzi’s anger.

"Third Brother, you don’t like me anymore..." Xie Jingzi said, sobbing softly with her head bowed.

Upon hearing Xiaoqi’s complaint-like tone, Xie Jingchen’s lips curled slightly, and he gently caressed her small head, seen only by her hair, with indulgence and comfort:

"Silly girl, my Xiaoqi has always been a smart and well-behaved little sister. How could Third Brother not like you? Third Brother just wants you to see the situation clearly, not to let hatred blind your eyes."
