Chapter 756: Dumb Loss
She could only eat humble pie there. The surrounding people truly had discerning eyes; whatever they had just witnessed, they now reported faithfully, all nodding and saying, "Yeah, I saw that man clearly wanting to leave, but she just clung to him shamelessly, and anyone who didn’t know better might’ve thought they knew each other."
"Right, how could she be so shameless? I watched the whole thing and thought, ’Why is this guy acting so weird, not even recognizing his own girlfriend?’ Turns out I was wrong about the guy. Women these days... they really have no shame."
"To actually go so far as to snatch a milk tea directly—now that’s something! I’ve seen my share of thieves but never one who just grabs stuff like that. That’s bold. When’s that woman going to hold a class to teach us all how to freeload milk tea like that? No need to queue or pay; just a bit of greasiness gets you a milk tea."
"Hahaha, am I the only one feeling sorry for this young lady here? When she faced that whole farce over there, how helpless she must’ve felt, watching her boyfriend getting slandered. It’s just too tragic."
"Yeah, I felt sorry for that young lady too, thinking here goes another modern-day jerk, capable of such low actions. Turns out it was all one-sided from this woman. It’s just too funny. Without knowing the full story, you’d really think there was something wrong with the guy."
"Thinking about it, this woman’s thinking isn’t simple at all. She made so many of us misunderstand that man. If someone with ulterior motives recorded it and edited it a bit before putting it online, wouldn’t that lead to a mass cyber-attack against him? That’s just terrifying."
As everyone was gossiping, the rebellious girl couldn’t hang on to her dignity any longer and felt extremely embarrassed. She wanted to escape, but how could Tang Yuchan let her get away that easily? If someone tried to frame someone else, they should face some consequences. Now, after just a few extra words, she couldn’t handle it—didn’t she owe Zhang Tao the money for the milk tea, too?
"Young lady, you seem like you’re in a hurry to leave, but don’t rush off just yet. Pay back the money first. If you took something that isn’t yours, then you should return the money. You can’t just freeload like that. You drank the milk tea, so I don’t want it anymore, but you can just transfer the original price," Tang Yuchan said, and then pulled out her payment QR code for the rebellious girl to scan. The girl was reluctant and wanted to flee, but people had already formed a circle around her, condemning her inappropriate behavior, and her ears turned red from listening to them.
"It’s not like that, it’s not like that, don’t get me wrong, I’ll give the money back to you, alright? Why do you have to say all this? Standing there at Gaode’s vantage point pointing and yelling at me, how can you treat me like this? Do you know how old I am? I just misunderstood earlier. You’ve made everyone around me criticize me like this. Aren’t you afraid I’ll get depressed?
You’re really a neurotic woman. I actually wanted to be your friend, but now I see you’re totally unworthy. To think I wanted to be friends with you—maybe in the next life. You just stick with your boyfriend and live your life together. I think you two really deserve each other."
