Chang Lexi stared angrily at the man before her, dressed in white, elegant as a refined gentleman in a troubled world, not only handso in appearance but also tall and slender, his speech so genteel it felt like a spring breeze.
Yet this very man, the words he spoke, were so venomous!
It seed like he was conceding, but in reality? What does "don’t act like a shrew scolding on the street" an? Is he implying that I’m a shrew?
I... how did I beco a shrew?
Clearly, she was the one who humiliated first, slandering my reputation, and now another "shrew" label is slapped on ? This is giving no way to live!
"You all... you all..."
Chang Lexi pointed at Li Qingmu and then at Long Yue, trembling with anger, her expression one of sha and resentnt, wishing she could stitch the mouths of this couple with a needle and thread!
"You have gone too far!"
Finally, Chang Lexi said a sentence, but it sounded weak and powerless.
Li Qingmu was shocked, confused and asked, "Is Miss Chang talking about us reprimanding your maid just now?
This should be of no concern, right? After all, there are orders of seniors and juniors, masters speaking between themselves, a maid interrupting is indeed against etiquette. If this offended Miss Chang, then I apologize on behalf of my wife."
"I’m not... that..."
Chang Lexi looked at the man’s sincere expression, suddenly feeling she was truly being unreasonable, which made her stamr.
And nearby, so unaware passersby ca over, seeing Li Qingmu apologizing on behalf of Long Yue to the young lady brought imdiate goodwill, and they looked at Chang Lexi, curious about what matter it was that made a man apologize to her?
The key point was Chang Lexi now stood with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at the couple, looking incredibly domineering.
First impressions are important, everyone seeing this felt Chang Lexi was domineering.
And so, people would tend to be biased.
"Lexi, what’s going on?"
Other young girls ca over from the side, just happened to know Chang Lexi, so had eyes full of amusent watching the drama, others had a worried look.
"This pair of cheating couple, they set up!"
Seeing her own people arrive, Chang Lexi instantly felt emboldened and cursed outright.
How could Long Yue tolerate this? Stepping forward with an annoyed face she said, "Miss Chang, don’t go too far! My husband has already apologized to you, and you still humiliate us, do you really think we’re easy to bully?"
"Who’s bullying whom? You tarnished my reputation, and I can’t curse you?"
"Miss Chang, you were the one vomiting over there, I was rely concerned and kindly asked after you, how did it beco humiliating you? Besides, since it’s a baseless matter, just deny it directly, why are you so eager with a face like you want to eat ? Are you guilty?"
"I... I, ah ah ah, Pang Longyue, you wretch, I’ll strangle you!"
Realizing she couldn’t outargue Long Yue, Chang Lexi exploded in rage, directly lunging at Long Yue, while several young ladies nearby hurried to stop her.
"Lexi, don’t be impulsive, you’ll fall into her trap!"
A girl close to Chang Lexi, looking calm, whispered a reminder in her ear, Chang Lexi’s body trembled, subconsciously looked up and t Long Yue’s mocking gaze.
That expression flickered, not easy to spot if not at the right mont.
Wretch! This pair of cheating couple, these scumbags! Ah ah ah!
Chang Lexi’s heart roared with anger, while Long Yue smiled softly, offering a bow, "Seems we had a misunderstanding before; now it’s all cleared up, let’s not bring this matter up again.
If Miss Chang feels aggrieved, then I’ll apologize. By the way, Miss Chang, in the future, never make that... retching gesture in front of others, even if truly uncomfortable, you must hold it in, otherwise, it really can cause misunderstandings!"
Long Yue continued speaking while mimicking Chang Lexi’s earlier movent, instantly drawing countless looks.
"The young lady indeed made that gesture just now."
Nearby an onlooker watched the whole thing from start to end and whispered to a companion, then the few people looked at Chang Lexi with increasingly... ambiguous eyes.
"Miss Chang, if everything’s settled, should we take our leave? Ah, husband, we’re missing the good ti for a spring outing, annoying, we’ll only have snacks on the mountain later."
Long Yue puckered her small, red lips in dissatisfaction, looking very tempting.
Li Qingmu’s throat moved slightly, murmured, "It’s my fault, I’ll make it up to you, even if we play until dark, as long as you’re happy."
"Hmph, that’s not too bad!"
The couple held hands, displaying affection in front of the crowd before heading up the mountain.
Chang Lexi watched them all lovey-dovey, getting furious, suddenly broke free of the two young ladies beside her, chased after a few steps, and yelled sharply, "Pang Longyue, you wretch are no good either! Engaged in illicit dealings, got rejected by your fiancé, ended up marrying a country bumpkin, I spit! A discarded shoe that only a poor guy would want, hmph!"
Chang Lexi fud as she watched them leave, venting with satisfaction, yet the young lady who remained calm before beca nervously upset, "Lexi, you... muddleheaded!"
Earlier Long Yue left with an arrogant face with her man, they still held a bit of an upper hand, but Lexi’s words? Isn’t it an admission that she too is unclean? What does it an by she’s no good?
Isn’t this admitting she herself isn’t good either?
"Lexi, Lexi, you are really... that woman played you, how could you fall for it?"
Seeing Chang Lexi return, the maiden stomped her foot in frustration, Lexi initially felt smug, but upon hearing this and pondering herself, her face changed.
Oh my, didn’t I just inadvertently confess?
She looked around at the many young n and won, along with so won, many were within her circle, in a mont, everything seed to spin.
"Lexi? Lexi, quick, Lexi’s fainted, call for a doctor!"
Below the mountain erupted into chaos.
Long Yue stood at the mountaintop, watching the uproar below with indifference, chuckled softly, while the man beside her frowned, seemingly displeased.
"Yue’er to trick her, you’ve put yourself on the line."
Reputation is very important for won, yet Long Yue deliberately showcased affection to provoke Chang Lexi into saying disgraceful things, indeed ruining Chang Lexi, but she herself also...
Long Yue displeasedly raised her head, glared at him, "Li Qingmu, what, you despise now?"
"How could I?"
Li Qingmu realized he made his little wife angry, instantly scared, quickly embraced her, "I wouldn’t even despise myself let alone you..."
"Get lost!" Long Yue pushed him away unhappily, snorted, "I’m already a married woman, what do I fear? Anyway, ultimately the pressure will fall on you, hmph!"
Li Qingmu, "..."
Honey, you can’t be like this?
What happened to shared joys and hardships?
