Chen Kui was startled, his fleshy face filled with confusion, and he asked in a gruff voice, "What are you talking about? Who got scammed?"
His small eyes darted between Lu Xuan and Shen Yahui, clearly not quite understanding Lu Xuan's meaningful words.
Seeing this, Shen Yahui's heart sank. Fearing that Chen Kui, this simpleton, would be misled by Lu Xuan's few words, she quickly grabbed Chen Kui's thick arm and pulled him back forcefully, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying. "Kui Ge, you… aren't you supposed to go teach at the gym? It's fine here, you should go back quickly, don't delay your important business."
As she spoke, she desperately winked at Chen Kui, her anxious appearance like an ant on a hot pan.
"Hey, Hui Hui, I'm not in a hurry. Let's deal with this kid first!"
Chen Kui thought Shen Yahui was afraid he would get hurt if he started a fight, so he patted his chest, looking like a hero, saying, "With your brother here, don't be afraid."
Lu Xuan looked at Shen Yahui's embarrassed attempt to distance herself, the curve of his lips deepened, and he slowly added, "Big Brother, you're a straightforward person, but your eyesight isn't very good. Some women, they look glamorous on the surface, but they'll do anything behind your back. You need to keep your eyes peeled, don't let yourself be used as a pawn and then happily count money for them."
"Who the hell are you talking about?!"
Chen Kui finally realized that Lu Xuan was implying Shen Yahui, and he immediately flew into a rage, pointing at Lu Xuan's nose and about to start swearing.
Shen Yahui was scared out of her wits. She clutched Chen Kui's arm tightly and shrieked, "Kui Ge! Don't listen to his nonsense! He's just a lunatic! Let's go, don't mind him!" She almost dragged Chen Kui out of the crowd, with a strength that even surprised Chen Kui.
"Hey, I say, Hui Hui, why are you pulling me? I haven't..."
Just then, someone in the surrounding crowd finally couldn't stand it anymore.
A student wearing black-rimmed glasses, who looked refined, pushed up his glasses and said loudly, "Buddy, I see you're a straightforward person too, don't let this woman fool you! She's a player! She's juggling several relationships!"
"Exactly!" Someone next to him immediately chimed in, their voice filled with the excitement of watching a drama unfold, "This woman's cheating has reached new heights! She just got dumped by Lu Xuan, and now she's bringing her new lover to school to cause trouble. What kind of move is this? Trying to prove her charm and that she's not lacking men?"
"I heard she cheated and Lu Xuan found out, which is why Lu Xuan broke up with her. But she, on the other hand, played the victim and even came to slander Lu Xuan!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, these days, it's true that a big forest has all kinds of birds. She looks like a decent person, but how can her heart be so black?"
The discussions surged like a tide, each word slapping Shen Yahui's face like a slap.
As Chen Kui listened to the people around him, the anger on his face gradually turned into doubt, and then from doubt to shock.
He looked incredulously at Shen Yahui, who was pale and trembling in his arms, and then at the indignant students around him. His mind was momentarily unable to process it all.
"Hui Hui, are they... are they telling the truth?" Chen Kui's voice was a little dry.
Shen Yahui felt dizzy and disoriented at this moment. She clutched Chen Kui's arm tightly, as if grasping at a last straw, and her voice choked with tears as she incoherently defended herself, "Kui Ge, don't believe them! They're all talking nonsense! They... they're all stooges Lu Xuan hired! They're jealous of me, jealous of us being together, that's why they're deliberately slandering me! Let's go, let's go quickly!"
"Oh, playing the victim now, are we?" A tall boy in a basketball jersey sneered, "All of us, stooges? Do you think this is a movie? Besides, jealous of what? Jealous of your thick skin, or jealous of your big 'fish pond'?"
"Hahahahaha!" A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.
Shen Yahui was so provoked by the merciless mockery that she almost went crazy. She suddenly shook off Chen Kui's arm and shrieked, pointing at the people around her, "All of you shut up! What evidence do you have that I cheated?! Huh? If you can't produce evidence, then stop slandering me here!"
She took a deep breath, seemingly finding a breakthrough for her counterattack, and turned to Lu Xuan, her eyes venomous, "Lu Xuan! You yourself admitted that we've broken up! Since we've broken up, who I'm with is none of your business! What right do you have to control me?!"
The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, and her voice grew sharper and sharper: "I came to find you today because you deceived my good sister! You Scumbag , playing with feelings, I came here to act on behalf of heaven! Stop twisting facts here and pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy!"
"That's right! We've already broken up, and my relationship with Kui Ge is open and above board! What does it have to do with any of you?"
Shen Yahui turned to Chen Kui, trying to win him over, "Kui Ge, don't let them fool you, they're just a bunch of sour grapes!"
"Holy crap! Is this woman crazy? She's even insulting people now?"
"Sour grapes? She should take a good look at herself in a mirror! If Lu Xuan hadn't been blind, would he have liked her?"
"Exactly! I think Lu Xuan is so handsome and graceful, she must have pestered him to get together, right? Now that she's been dumped, she's unwilling and came here to throw a tantrum!"
The crowd's anger was completely ignited, and all sorts of nasty words pierced Shen Yahui like knives.
Shen Yahui was verbally trashed and trembled with rage. She pointed at Lu Xuan and shrieked hysterically, "Lu Xuan! You speak! Show me the evidence! You say I cheated, where's the evidence?! Since we've already broken up, who I date is my freedom! You can't control me!"
She thought she had Lu Xuan cornered, believing that as long as Lu Xuan couldn't produce substantial evidence, this farce would end with "the woman dating normally after a breakup, and the man making an unreasonable scene."
Lu Xuan looked at her outwardly fierce but inwardly weak demeanor and sneered in his heart.
That's exactly what I wanted to hear! The sadness on his face appropriately transformed into a look of determination, as if pushed to the brink, and he said in a pained voice, "Shen Yahui, you forced my hand! I originally wanted to leave you with a shred of dignity, but since you insist on tearing off the mask, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
He slowly raised his phone and said loudly to everyone, "I have plenty of evidence on my phone! Chat records, photos, videos! Today, I'll let everyone see what kind of woman you, Shen Yahui, truly are!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a male student in a plaid shirt and glasses, who clearly looked like a tech geek, immediately stood out excitedly and said loudly, "Brother! Don't bother sending them one by one! I can help you project your phone onto the big screen at the entrance of the teaching building! Let the whole school see this bitch's true face!"
Saying that, he excitedly pointed to the huge LED display above the entrance of the teaching building not far away.
