Chapter 117 117 Everyone defends
Su Xiao looked at the woman who had just spoken; it was Li Wenxiang.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, she looked frightened and uneasy, like a frightened fawn, and stammered, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean anything by it."
If it doesn't mean anything else, then what does it mean?
A hint of mockery flashed in Su Xiao's eyes, and she smiled slightly, saying, "It's alright, because what you said is true."
Su Xiao's open admission caused some people to widen their eyes in disbelief. After a moment of stunned silence, excitement and schadenfreude appeared in their eyes.
Su Xiao chuckled inwardly. These people are really interesting; they think of so many things.
"You admitted it." Fang Yan exclaimed excitedly.
"Hmm, so what?"
It was during mealtime, and Su Xiao didn't really want to argue with her. However, some people just can't stand to see others doing well. They just want to be like rats in a stinking ditch, unable to see the light of day. If they aren't eliminated, they'll come out and disgust people everywhere. They're really annoying.
"So, you really did steal the eggs."
As she spoke, the courtyard fell silent, and everyone's expressions varied.
"Hey, you woman, how dare you talk like that? You're maliciously slandering, bullying, and insulting my little one!" Shu Bowen was the first to explode, standing in front of Su Xiao and glaring fiercely at Fang Yan.
"I never expected you to be this kind of person." Fang Minghao followed closely behind, looking at her with disgust.
Fang Yan had been trying to win over Fang Minghao, but he had only rejected her and ignored her before. He had never looked at her with such disgust as he did today.
She broke down, exclaiming, "She admitted it herself, how could I have wronged her?"
Su Xiao was about to retort when Shang Ziming spoke up.
"What did she admit to?" Shang Ziming's eyes shot sharp at her.
Fang Yan's nerves tightened inexplicably. Even though it was almost summer, she felt a chill rush from the soles of her feet to her head.
“I…I admit…” Fang Yan’s lips trembled, and she couldn’t continue. She tried to recall, but found that Su Xiao had not admitted anything. Everything was just their subjective imagination and control.
"Hehe, my sister just said that woman was right. It was indeed her first day at the farm, and we did eat egg drop soup today. What? Did our eating egg drop soup bother you? Or, does it mean we can't eat eggs if we don't raise chickens? Does eating them mean we stole them?" Cheng Jiulang still had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his tone.
"No, no..." Fang Yan was so flustered by the question that she didn't know how to explain. She could only wave her hands anxiously and look to Chen Jing for help.
Chen Jing lowered her head to avoid her gaze, and Fang Yan felt a chill in her heart.
Looking at Li Wenxiang again, Li Wenxiang looked back at her innocently, appearing even more innocent and aggrieved than she did.
Fang Yan frowned, her heart sinking heavily.
"Everyone, listen to me. Comrade Fang did say something inappropriate. She was wrong." Wang Yang suddenly spoke up to help Fang Yan out of the predicament, giving her a wink. "Comrade Fang, you should apologize to Comrade Su right away."
Fang Yan bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes, and pouted, saying, "I'm sorry."
After saying that, she covered her face and ran away.
Su Xiao pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Fang Minghao, however, stood up for her, saying, "What kind of person is she? She's not sincere at all. She wronged and slandered others, and then acted like she was wronged herself. She's really clueless."
Wang Yang pushed up his glasses and laughed, "She's just a young girl, she doesn't know any better, so don't take it to heart."
