In fact, women couldn't help but believe it, since Xu Xingchen didn't show the slightest bit of guilt on his face when he said these words, and even said that they could go to the hot spring pool to find out the truth at any time.

In that woman's eyes, it naturally became the best interpretation of Xu Xinchen's uprightness and lack of susceptibility, while Wang Xue had only been talking the talk from the beginning.

If Wang Xue hadn't cried so pitifully just now, this group of people wouldn't have believed her so easily.

Now that Xu Xinchen, one of the parties involved, has come out, Wang Xue has remained silent. These people will inevitably become suspicious to some extent. After their initial anger subsides and they calm down, they will naturally realize that something is amiss.

Now that the truth is clear, the people around have naturally changed their tune: "It's still the same. I say, you're such a mean girl, how could you slander someone like that?"

"It's fortunate that things aren't as strict as they were a few years ago. If this had happened a few years ago, your words could have cost two people their lives, do you know that?"

"You think saying this isn't hurting anyone, it's just a matter of saying one sentence. But if this were a few years ago, do you know that two people could have died because of your words?"

Wang Xue's eyes reddened from being teased by the group of people, and she looked like she was about to cry again. But this time, no one pitied her anymore. Seeing that she was about to cry, some people even snorted with disdain.

"The women who were truly wronged are still smiling at us, and we haven't seen them say anything about what we just said."

They took it to heart, but the one who started slandering others was the one who started crying after just a few words.

"Doesn't this just prove that the woman is indeed innocent? Look, we only said these two sentences, and we didn't even scold her, yet she's already acting like this. So, her pitiful crying just now was definitely an act."

"I actually spoke up for this person just now. I suddenly feel like I really need to wash my eyes. I can't even tell the difference between a good person and a bad person."

Just like when they criticized Xu Xinchen, the people next to them also started criticizing Wang Xue, one sentence after another. It's unclear whether they genuinely condemned Wang Xue's behavior or were simply trying to cover up their own mistakes and apologize to Xu Xinchen.

Just as the surrounding crowd had finished speaking, and Wang Xue's eyes were already red, and she was trying to slip away, Chen Ningsheng's cold words rang in everyone's ears.

"Money transaction?" This voice, as cold as ice, struck a heavy blow to everyone's hearts.

Wang Xue's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly felt extremely dangerous and wished she could go back to the moment when she spoke recklessly in front of Chen Ningsheng and slap her a few times.

She was just angry and resentful because Xu Xinchen had teased her, which is why she ran up to Chen Ningsheng and cried to him without thinking when she saw him.

Later, perhaps because of the attention she received from those around her, she felt as if she were genuinely wronged, which led her to escalate the situation further.

Now that Xu Xinchen has exposed her lie, her passionate act has naturally cooled down, and...

I also felt fear.

Chen Ningsheng's eyes were so cold they seemed to freeze Wang Xue: "How come I didn't know that my girlfriend and I had a money transaction? You can slander others with just a few words? President Wang has really raised a fine daughter."

Wang Xue's heart pounded even harder now. What did Chen Ningsheng mean? Was he going to go talk to her father about her situation?

Chen Ningsheng didn't directly state his plans. Instead, he gave Wang Xue a few cold looks, then took Xu Xinchen's hand and patted it gently.

“Baby, I’m sorry you had to go through this. Don’t worry, I’ll settle this score with her later.”

Xu Xinchen smiled and shook her head. She didn't feel wronged at all. Wang Xue had been scolded by a group of middle-aged women led by Sister Mei while she was in the hot spring. Now that she was out in the open, it was as if Wang Xue had been unfairly treated.

But now she had explained it all and turned the situation around. Seeing the disdainful looks people gave Wang Xue, she was overjoyed and had no reason to feel wronged.

"I'm fine. We don't need to worry about this crazy woman. She's done too many bad things, and she'll get her comeuppance sooner or later."

As Xu Xinchen spoke, she took Chen Ningsheng's hand, her eyes scanning the people around them: "Now that I've explained everything clearly, may I take my boyfriend away?"

The crowd that had been forming a wall around them suddenly dispersed, making way for the two of them. Many people accidentally bumped into Wang Xue while making way, and immediately bounced away, patting the spot where Wang Xue had touched them with disgust.

"You'd better get away from me right now and don't touch me."

"Exactly, I can't afford to mess with that kind of person. I don't want to be falsely accused one day, like I pushed her even though I just touched her lightly."

Wang Xue was no longer in the mood to care about what the people around her were saying. She was completely stunned by Chen Ningsheng's words and could only hear the word "finished" echoing in her mind.

Oh no, oh no, it's all over. If Chen Ningsheng really goes to find her father, then what she will face next will be much more than just knowing the truth.

Just as Wang Xue was feeling lost and disoriented, Madam Wang and Wang Ting finally emerged from the hot spring. Both of them had their skin flushed red from the soaking, and Wang Ting's long, black hair was draped over her body.

At first glance, Wang Ting does indeed seem like a beauty, but only upon careful and patient observation will one realize that she actually has a rather harsh appearance.

However, no one was in the mood to care about what Wang Ting actually looked like. After Wang Xue's outburst, everyone around felt that it was incredibly foolish of them to help Wang Xue criticize Xu Xinchen.

Therefore, after they finished criticizing Wang Xue, they dispersed one by one, and the appearance of Madam Wang and Wang Ting in front of everyone did not cause the slightest ripple.

Only Wang Xue, Wang Ting, and Madam Wang and her daughter remained, standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.
