Chapter: 2977

When Zhong Tianyu heard this, he was completely stunned. He thought, “Is this really a human? How can someone be like this?! This woman, Ye, must not be a guardian. She knows I upset her nephew and is just refusing to help me!”

Feeling angry, he listened as Ye Changmin said, “Tianyu, I promise I’m not lying. If I speak up, Charlie Wade’s punishment for you will only get worse, not better.”

Zhong Tianyu heard the sincerity in her voice, which only confused him more. He blurted out, “But… why can’t you help me? Aren’t you his aunt? Why wouldn’t he listen to you?”

Ye Changmin let out a self-deprecating laugh. “Ha… he gave me face? His men beat me up! And when I begged him to help me after that, he ignored me completely. Even my dad couldn’t get him to listen.”

As she recalled her time imprisoned in Jinling, she felt a wave of sadness and started to cry. “You see, if I can’t even help myself, how can I help you?”

Zhong Tianyu was taken aback, as if a thousand blades were slicing through his thoughts. “This… this is terrible! Who would treat their aunt like this?!”

Ye Changmin nodded in agreement and sighed, “You’re right, Tianyu.”

Just then, Charlie Wade, who had been listening, interrupted, “Ye Changmin, have you forgotten why I imprisoned you?”

“Are you in Jinling?”

Ye Changmin was startled when she heard Charlie Wade’s voice. Without thinking, she blurted out, “Tianyu, did you turn on the amplifier?!”

Zhong Tianyu replied awkwardly, “Yes… Charlie asked me to drive…”

Feeling desperate to protect herself, Ye Changmin quickly changed her story. “Auntie, I didn’t finish what I was saying! The reason Charlie imprisoned me is completely because of what you did! You took the blame for yourself!”

After rushing through her words, she added sweetly, “Charlie, please don’t misunderstand. Aunty was just finishing her thought. She didn’t mean anything by it…”

Zhong Tianyu was stunned.

“Is this really Ye Changmin?”

“Is this the famous young lady from Yanjing?”

Everyone in Yanjing knew that Ye Changmin was always proud and bossy, never caring about anyone else.

But now, she seemed like a frightened mouse in front of Charlie Wade! Her desperate need to survive was shocking.

“Is Ye Changmin weak, or is Charlie Wade just too strong?”

As Zhong Tianyu processed this, Charlie Wade asked Ye Changmin, “So, you really don’t want to plead for this kid, right?”

Ye Changmin felt a chill run down her spine. She realized that Charlie Wade was truly formidable.
