Chapter 239: Kneel and Admit Your Wrongdoings
"As a celebrity with a decent following, you should know that I won’t stand up for just anyone; I have a reputation to uphold. For one, I would never do what I’m doing for an arrogant, vulgar woman like you. My fans aren’t blind; they can tell right from wrong." Lu Lin did not give an inch in his firm rebuttal.
To think a mere lady of the Jiang family would dare threaten the Lu family with slander! Lu Lin would not let her off easily.
It was so rare for Shen Xi to ask him to join her for a meal, and he had made sure everything was just right, all for it to come to ruin when he stepped out for a second to answer a call. He was unsure what had happened, but when he returned, Jiang Xue rushed at Shen Xi, screaming crazily about one thing or another. It was deplorable.
Jiang Xue’s anger spiked upon being belittled by Lu Lin. She noted Xiang Tian’s arrival and sneered. "Lu Lin, you shouldn’t ignore my advice. Shen Xi was born into poverty, and everyone knows she climbs into bed with men for money. If you don’t believe me, ask around in school, and you’ll learn the truth. Shen Xi even had an affair with ten different men not too long ago. It caused quite an uproar..."
Lu Lin could not bear to listen to Jiang Xue prattle on. He marched toward the entitled young woman with his hands clenched, but before he could do anything, several security guards blocked his way, preventing him from reaching Jiang Xue. He even had his phone confiscated for some reason.
Xiang Cheng, who had just arrived, hurried to the scene.
Lu Lin gritted his teeth in anger. He had wanted to have a good meal with Shen Xi, so he had asked his assistant and bodyguard to wait in the car, hoping for a little more privacy. Now, he regretted his decision.
Jiang Xue took the opportunity to pull Xiang Cheng aside and said, "Brother Cheng, do you believe me now? Shen Xi, Guan Lei, and Dr. Zheng Huai were involved in an ambiguous relationship, and now she’s alone with Lu Lin. Who would not believe that something is going on among them? If this isn’t riding a donkey to find a horse, I don’t know what is! She’s just fishing for her next meal ticket, that’s all."
Tears slid down her cheeks as she sobbed, "Shen Xi must be the culprit! It can’t be a coincidence that she and Lu Lin are here. She must have discovered that I was brought before Grandpa Xiang and received his acknowledgment. Knowing she had no hope of marrying into the Xiang family, she grew jealous and released that image to ruin me! Do you believe me now?"
