Chapter 66 - 64: Hanging Around the Rich
Li Si’s mind flickered—no wonder they came so boldly to borrow money today; turns out they knew about this. But how did they find out?
"You’re slinging mud! Uncle, who told you that? Huh? Who spreads rumors like this?" Li Si stayed calm, trying to bait them into revealing the truth. Anyway, the shop had already been transferred to Brother Leng; whatever happened wasn’t her concern anymore!
"How is it a rumor? Everyone in your aunt’s shop is saying it. If you don’t believe it, we can confront them in person and see what the truth is!"
Wu Dachuan was extremely displeased. Although his mother’s words were harsh, they were grounded in reality. Besides, things had already fallen apart—what was there to fear?
"Alright then, let’s go confront them. If it turns out not to be true, and you disturb the shop’s business and reputation, I doubt Uncle Cui will keep employing my aunt. Think carefully about your next move!"
Li Si truly didn’t want this to escalate, but the crowd gathered around kept growing. Soon enough, the entire campus would hear about this. Could it be that, after being given another chance at life, she’d have to endure the same pointing fingers and gossip from others?
"This..."
The two fell silent, beginning to have their doubts. If Li Si was this firm in her denial, what if this really was just a baseless rumor? Losing such a good job over it—where would they find another like it?
