Fang Leiluo's grip was very strong, making Lin Zhaoyue's arm ache. She tried to shake him off but failed.

"Fang Leiluo, let go!"

"Lin Zhaoyue, answer my question! Did you kick me aside to climb the social ladder?" Fang Leiluo was agitated, his face flushed, and his chest heaving violently.

Lin Zhaoyue could tell that he was deliberately acting crazy because he was drunk.

If a man were truly drunk, he wouldn't have made it this far.

Fang Leilu did it on purpose.

She raised her foot and kicked Fang Leiluo hard in the shin, causing the man to wince in pain.

Lin Zhaoyue was wearing small black leather shoes, and she kicked the person with all her might.

Fang Leiluo, in pain, released his grip on Lin Zhaoyue's hand. Once he recovered, he stepped forward again to stop her.

"You're such a shameless woman! You're flirting with me on one hand, and having an affair with Jiang Jingzhou on the other. You're two-timing me. If you could find someone better than Jiang Jingzhou, wouldn't you just dump him too?"

Fang Leilu shouted at the top of his lungs.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at him coldly, "Fang Leiluo, I'll say it one last time: Jingzhou and I got together after we broke off our engagement."

Even if I don't marry Jingzhou, I'd rather go to the countryside than marry you.

[Oh my, Lin Zhaoyue's words are really sweet. If she doesn't want to marry the male lead, why does she still want to repay his kindness?]

[It's obvious they want both ways~]

What on earth is the male lead doing?! What's the meaning of him coming over to pester Lin Zhaoyue?!

[This isn't just being persistent; anyone who got scammed would probably want to know the truth, which is perfectly normal.]

[The female lead will definitely get jealous when she sees them all tugging at each other, and then their relationship will progress by leaps and bounds.]

If this gets out of hand, Lin Zhaoyue will be proven guilty of two-timing, and the rumors and gossip will be devastating.

"..." Lin Zhaoyue's eyelids twitched. So she'd become a catalyst for the romance between the two men? This cannon fodder role was going to be used endlessly!

Lin Zhaoyue pursed her lips almost imperceptibly. Before Fang Leiluo could attack her again, Lin Zhaoyue raised her hand and slapped Fang Leiluo hard across the face.

A sharp slap!

This scene was witnessed by Ren Zhaodi, who had just reached the door.

She was first shocked that Fang Leiluo was there, and then she was shocked again that Lin Zhaoyue had hit someone.

Ren Zhaodi quickly stepped forward, carefully and anxiously checking Fang Leiluo's swollen face, "Brother Leiluo, are you alright? Are you okay...?"

"Why are you here?" Fang Leiluo asked Ren Zhaodi with impatience in his eyes.

Ren Zhaodi angrily questioned Lin Zhaoyue, "Why did you hit someone? Lin Zhaoyue, don't think that just because you're married to Jiang Jingzhou you're superior. Let me tell you, no matter how much you try to hide it, you can't hide how you seduced Brother Leiluo back then."

Ren Zhaodi gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Lin Zhaoyue.

If her eyes could kill, she would have torn Lin Zhaoyue to pieces.

Lin Zhaoyue is already married, yet she still comes here to get entangled with Fang Leiluo. She's utterly shameless.

As if asserting her ownership, Ren Zhaodi reached out and took Fang Leiluo's arm, saying, "Look closely, he's my man now, and you can't take him away no matter what you do."

"What's going on?"

"Isn't it obvious? Before Comrade Lin Zhaoyue married Comrade Jiang Jingzhou, she was engaged to Fang Leiluo."

"Huh? Then why did you break off the engagement?"

"How would we know what happened between the parties involved? Anyway, it seems like it was an unpleasant situation."

"Comrade Fang Leilu kept accusing Comrade Lin Zhaoyue of two-timing..."

"No way, Comrade Lin is a highly educated person, how could he do such a thing?"

"That only shows that she is highly educated; as for whether she is of high moral character, we don't know."

"..." More and more people gathered at the door to watch the commotion, but Lin Zhaoyue's eyes remained calm as she looked at the two of them.

She said it before: people who aren't family don't belong together.

Ren Zhaodi and Fang Leiluo are the perfect match in every way.

They're equally shameless.

They both can't understand human speech.

Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled into a cold smile. "Please get this straight, who's bothering whom right now?"

Lin Zhaoyue shrugged. "You didn't keep a close eye on your man. He got drunk and came here to cause trouble. He even grabbed my wrist in public and kept interrogating me about my past. All of these people saw it with their own eyes."

As she spoke, she took two steps back to maintain a safe distance from the two of them.

Lin Zhaoyue continued, "I slapped him just now to bring him to his senses."

Ren Zhaodi glared angrily at Lin Zhaoyue, so angry that she couldn't utter a single word.

"Walk!"

Fang Leiluo felt embarrassed that Ren Zhaodi was there, so he grabbed her arm and tried to leave.

Lin Zhaoyue spoke again, "Wait."

Fang Lei stopped in his tracks, not understanding what Lin Zhaoyue was trying to do.

"Aren't you going to apologize for the impetuous things you just said to me?"

Lin Zhaoyue had no intention of letting them off easily.

Once or twice, do you really think she's easy to bully?

Lin Zhaoyue now has to consider not only her own reputation, but also the reputation of the Jiang family.

She raised her voice, "You two bullied people and then wanted to leave? That's so unreasonable!"

After Lin Zhaoyue finished speaking, her eyes reddened. "Fang Leiluo, it's clearly you who didn't want to marry me and looked down on my family's background. I was willing to help you and your childhood sweetheart get married, so how did it become my fault?"

"Your accusation that I was two-timing is untrue. It is Comrade Ren Zhaodi who deliberately sabotaged other people's relationship."

Lin Zhaoyue didn't give them a chance to speak, pressing them step by step, "Ren Zhaodi, you know perfectly well that we're already engaged. Don't you understand the principle that a man and a woman shouldn't touch each other? Yet you went to stay at Fang Leiluo's house and kept trying to get his attention. Who's the shameless one here?"

"That's right. Ren Zhaodi, an unmarried young woman, moved into Fang Leiluo's house at a very young age. Everyone in the compound knows that."

"I initially thought it was Fang Leiluo's wife, but it turns out they have nothing to do with each other."

"Then that couple is just crying wolf! They're deliberately smearing good people here."

"..." Ren Zhaodi finally understood what it meant to be criticized behind one's back.

She couldn't even defend herself.

Lin Zhaoyue easily shifted all the blame onto them.

Fang Leiluo looked at the quick-witted Lin Zhaoyue, and a certain part of his heart trembled violently.

"I'm sorry, I apologize for what my husband and I said to you earlier, is that alright?"

Fang Leiluo apologized as Lin Zhaoyue had instructed.

Lin Zhaoyue reluctantly accepted, "Alright, but you must remember this well: it was my good deed that brought you two together, it was never me trying to climb the social ladder. I hope you'll remember what you said when you sober up."

Fang Leiluo: "..." He'll remember this forever.
