Ruby Jiang instinctively asked, "What?"
Cherry Miller let out a soft sigh.
This Ruby Jiang, she's really clueless!
It's such an obvious truth, and she still doesn't get it?
Nouveau riche is still nouveau riche—besides having money, she doesn't even have anyone to guide her!
James Jiang may have squeezed into this circle, but Ruby Jiang probably won't be accepted by them for years.
Because she's just too clueless!
Cherry Miller originally didn't want to get involved, but whether it's Ruby Jiang or Shelly Zhou, they're both guests invited in the name of the Yin Family. She can't just ignore it!
Now that something like this has happened, it has to be handled perfectly—there's no way the Yin Family or Madam Yin can be disgraced!
Cherry Miller spoke up, "Miss Ruby Jiang, you were the one who called Miss Shelly Zhou outside. Many people saw this with their own eyes. You can't deny it. In the afternoon, you came back by yourself and left Miss Shelly Zhou alone on the mountain—everyone saw that too. Because of you, Shelly Zhou was frightened and caught a cold, which led to her fainting with a fever. Do you think the Zhou Family will just stand by and let you bully their daughter without doing anything?"
Ruby Jiang blurted out, "It's not like I made her stay on the mountaintop! She was guilty herself and fell down on her own!"
"So, Miss Jiang, are you planning not to apologize, not to explain, and not to take responsibility?" Cherry Miller frowned. "Are you even willing to let your brother's relationship with the Zhou Family fall apart?"
"I..." Ruby Jiang's eyes grew even more confused. "Is it really that serious? I just said a couple of things to her, that's all!"
"But the consequences of this can't be fixed with just a few words." Cherry Miller continued patiently, "If nothing goes wrong, the Zhou Family has probably already heard about this and will come soon to take Shelly Zhou home. Your brother has likely heard too and will come to take you home. Are you sure you want your brother to face the Zhou Family's anger directly?"
Ruby Jiang was suddenly at a loss for words. "...I..."
"Your Jiang Family worked so hard to get into this circle, Miss Jiang—are you really going to let a tantrum put the Jiang Family at odds with the Zhou Family? Make countless enemies? And then be forced out of this circle?" Cherry Miller's voice grew cold. "If you're determined to be stubborn, then I have nothing more to say!"
"No, no, that's not what I meant!" Ruby Jiang panicked.
"Cherry Miller, you're the organizer, you can't just stand by and do nothing!" Ruby Jiang said anxiously. "If you don't help, I'll say it was all your idea! Don't think nobody knows about you and Ethan Yin!"
Cherry Miller couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "I'm glad you're willing to resolve this, Miss Jiang. When Shelly Zhou wakes up, you should apologize to her personally!"
"I..." Ruby Jiang was still hesitant. "How about you come with me?"
Cherry Miller let out a laugh of exasperation. "You're the one who wronged her, not me! I'm going to rest now, so I won't see you out, Miss Jiang."
Hearing Cherry Miller so bluntly dismiss her, a flash of annoyance crossed Ruby Jiang's face.
But right now, she really had no one else to turn to, so she could only leave in defeat.
After grabbing a quick breakfast, Cherry Miller took a short nap to recharge.
She still had a tough battle to fight today!
She couldn't afford to get sick!
By the time Cherry Miller woke up, it was nine o'clock in the morning.
A few hours of extra sleep made her look much more refreshed.
Knock, knock, knock. The door was knocked again—this time, it was Yun Shuang.
"Sister Cherry, I've brought your new phone." Yun Shuang said.
