Chapter 555: We’ve Been Played by Lu Youxi
"It was never a case of mistaken identity," Lin Jingshen said. "It’s the same person. Lu Youxi’s husband is Chengzhou’s Zhou Shuyan!"
Lin Jingshen’s face was filled with pain and regret. "That’s why Zhou Shuyan was so angry when those rumors were spreading before."
"According to Lu Youxi, Zhou Shuyan wasn’t angry about the rumors, but because we were spreading his private matters," Lin Jingshen now couldn’t tell the real reason why Zhou Shuyan was angry.
Anyway, that’s what Lu Youxi said, and he relayed it as such.
"So we thought we had caught Lu Youxi red-handed that time we were ’hitting the ground’, went to Zhou Shuyan to try to make amends, but Zhou Shuyan was completely unmoved. Because the two of them were indeed a married couple, Lu Youxi hadn’t lied, nor had she intentionally name-dropped."
"It turned out we were the ones played by Lu Youxi!" Lin Jingshen said. "Clearly, her husband was Zhou Shuyan, yet she deliberately didn’t mention it and even specifically clarified at our school’s anniversary celebration that she had nothing to do with Zhou Shuyan when fellow students were speculating about their relationship."
"It was because Lu Youxi so vigorously clarified that I believed her, thinking her husband merely shared the same name as Zhou Shuyan."
"Lu Youxi deliberately set a trap, misleading us into jumping in, intentionally framing us!"
Even now, Lin Jingshen was still placing all the blame on Lu Youxi.
He didn’t feel the slightest bit that if he hadn’t had malicious intentions, if he hadn’t provoked them, he wouldn’t have offended Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan at all.
Many people at Jing University didn’t know about Lu Youxi’s marriage; there were hardly any classmates who knew.
