Chapter 73: Humiliating in Public
Cheng Li listened to everyone’s accusations, anxious to the point of tears, and loudly defended herself, "No, I didn’t. Jiang Xue is slandering me, don’t listen to her nonsense."
"Whether it’s slander or not, you know in your heart, don’t you?" Jiang Xue slightly curled her lips, her face showing a hint of mockery.
Seeing that everyone didn’t believe her, Cheng Li became both anxious and angry. She turned to Jiang Xue and said sadly, "Little Xue, we are good friends, why would you slander me like this?"
Hearing Cheng Li’s words and seeing her sad appearance, everyone began to hesitate again, and the voices of condemnation gradually softened.
Seeing this, Cheng Li felt a bit smug in her heart. However, her expression became even more sorrowful and helpless as she faced everyone and said, "Jiang Xue and I are good friends. No matter what happened in the past, I was always by her side, isn’t that right, everyone?"
Everyone thought about it and nodded. Seeing everyone nodding, Cheng Li continued, "You all know how I treat Jiang Xue. Do you think I would do such things?"
"Although I’m not married, I also know that marriage is not child’s play, and divorce even less so. Jiang Xue never liked Mu Qiancheng, and I always advised her to live well with Mu Qiancheng. But she herself wants a divorce, and now she even claims that it was my influence. Tell me, am I wronged or not?"
Seeing everyone increasingly agreeing with her, Cheng Li turned her gaze back to Jiang Xue, accusingly asking, "Little Xue, why are you treating me like this? Haven’t I been good enough to you?"
"Could it be because I didn’t give you the hairpin I liked?"
Hearing this, everyone showed an expression of realization and then looked at Jiang Xue with condemnation.
