When Bai Mei walked quickly to the entrance of the newly opened milk tea shop, she saw a dispute taking place inside.

Two unfamiliar girls, one with long hair and the other with short hair, were shouting and yelling at the shop assistant.

"Where did Chang Jing go? Get out here right now!"

"Yes, yes, we have something to say to him! Tell him not to hide!"

Bai Mei noticed that the two girls seemed to be around the same age as her, but their tone was extremely arrogant and unreasonable.

She clicked her tongue in amazement. If she hadn't known it was a bubble tea shop, she would have thought that the shop had bullied them!

Just as Bai Mei was secretly grumbling to herself, a young man with a scar hurriedly rushed out of the kitchen.

"Isn't that the scarred guy from Changjing Internet Cafe?"

Bai Mei was taken aback. She recognized the scarred young man; wasn't he Chang Jing's subordinate from the internet cafe incident they had encountered last time?

Bai Mei nodded to herself. It seemed that this cold drink shop really was opened by Chang Jing.

Hmph! A newly opened milk tea shop didn't even invite me for a drink... That's unique, I like it!

"Ladies, please calm down! Our boss is out today, you'll need to make an appointment to see him!" Scarface said, sweating profusely, afraid that their commotion would damage the shop's reputation.

"Hmph!" Short-haired girl Li Xiaolian pouted in dissatisfaction: "Tell Chang Jing to get out here right now. He's just the owner of a small cold drink shop, and he's talking about making an appointment. What do you think we want from him? We're here to get justice!"

"Exactly!" Long-haired girl Li Qian nodded in agreement. "Your boss made our Fang Yu suffer terribly! If we hadn't seen her crying like that, we wouldn't have..."

"Alright, you don't need to exaggerate like that!" Scarface said anxiously, "The boss and Senior Sister Fang Yu are just ordinary friends. Where does this talk of playing around come from?"

"Nonsense!" Li Xiaolian shouted. "If your boss hadn't abandoned Fang Yu, who would have fabricated those absurd rumors? He can't escape responsibility!"

"This..." Scarface was speechless, and could only repeatedly explain, "I assure you all, the boss only has friendship with Senior Sister Fang Yu. If the rumors have really caused Senior Sister Fang Yu trouble, I am deeply sorry, but please stop spreading these unfounded rumors!"

"Enough with the nonsense! Do you want us to keep posting online to attack your store's reputation?" Li Xiaolian threatened.

Scarface gasped, then had no choice but to soften his tone and plead, "Ladies, I believe this is just a misunderstanding. The boss would never be so bored as to toy with other people's feelings. If you really want to see him, I'll call him back right now to apologize, but please, don't say anything out of line! The boss and Senior Sister Fang Yu are innocent!"

The two girls exchanged a glance, seemed to discuss it for a moment, and then nodded: "Alright then, hurry up and find Chang Jing! Otherwise, we'll post on the campus website until we ruin your store's reputation!"

Scarface nodded and bowed hastily, "Yes, sir! I'll contact the boss right away. Please wait a moment!"

After saying that, he hurriedly went to the back of the store to call Chang Jing.

Bai Mei watched in stunned silence, analyzing everything that had just happened in her mind.

The two girls must be Fang Yu's roommates, right?

To force Chang Jing to apologize, they resorted to using online rumors to threaten the store clerk. Isn't that a bit too despicable?

And Fang Yu, is she the girl who is rumored to be dating Chang Jing?

Bai Mei actually cares a bit about the character Fang Yu.

According to her understanding, Chang Jing's view on relationships was detached from worldly affairs; very few girls could arouse his interest, let alone toy with other people's feelings.

So, who exactly is this Fang Yu, that he could make Chang Jing "break the rules"?

But... what if the rumors are all fabricated?

Bai Mei's thoughts began to become somewhat chaotic.

She thought to herself that since she was already here, she might as well take the initiative to go up to the two girls and chat with them, and ask them what had happened.

Having made up her mind, Bai Mei stepped forward and politely asked the two girls, "Excuse me, are you two Fang Yu's roommates?"

The two girls turned around, clearly surprised by the question from a stranger.

Li Xiaolian looked at Bai Mei warily: "Who are you? Why are you asking this?"

Bai Mei smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I just heard that you came to find the owner of this shop, and that you wanted to seek justice for Senior Sister Fang Yu. I guess you must know some inside information. I also heard the rumors and was quite curious, so I took the initiative to ask what happened."

Liu Qian rolled her eyes at Bai Mei and said haughtily, "There's no need to talk about this with strangers. In short, it was Chang Jing who broke our best friend's heart! If we hadn't seen her cry like that, and if that bastard Chang Jing hadn't cared at all, we wouldn't have come here to make a scene!"

“We’re here to get justice for her!” Li Xiaolian added.

After a moment's hesitation, Bai Mei decided to ask directly, "Excuse me, did Chang Jing really toy with Senior Sister Fang Yu's feelings? I find this rumor somewhat unbelievable, so I hope to get confirmation from you."

"Hmph! How would outsiders know the truth?"

Li Xiaolian glared at Bai Mei, then retorted defiantly, "Why are you so concerned about the matter between Chang Jing and Fang Yu? Could it be that you're in cahoots with Chang Jing?"

Bai Mei chuckled upon hearing this and replied in a calm and unhurried tone, "I just want to find out the truth. After all, once rumors spread, innocent people will suffer. If this is really a misunderstanding, your actions are going too far."

Just as Li Xiaolian was about to lash out, Liu Qian raised her hand to stop her, giving her a warning look to indicate that she should not act rashly.

Liu Qian turned to Bai Mei, forcing a smile: "Please forgive our rashness. We were just too concerned about our best friend's feelings. If it turns out this is just a misunderstanding, we will naturally apologize and clarify the facts. However, before we have verified the truth, please don't judge our actions. After all, Chang Jing knows the truth of the rumors best. We came here today to ask for the facts directly."

Bai Mei nodded, not entirely satisfied with Liu Qian's explanation, but she also understood that continuing to nitpick at this point would be futile.

Most importantly, we still need to wait for Chang Jing to return and clarify the facts.

"Alright then, since you're here to find out the truth as well, I won't say any more."

Bai Mei nodded politely: "I believe that once Chang Jing returns, the truth will come out. If it is indeed a misunderstanding, I hope you can give Fang Yu a proper explanation."

"Don't worry, we will." Liu Qian's tone softened considerably.

Seeing this, Bai Mei said no more and turned to leave.
