Qin Yiren rolled her eyes, inwardly despising her for pretending to be weak.
Interrupting before the surrounding onlookers could speak, he said, "Then tell me, what about him...?"
Qin Yiren turned her head and pointed at Ji Kangyong, "Who exactly is this so-called lover?"
Li Yueya's eyes flickered, and she changed the subject, saying, "He hasn't even said anything yet, and you're already jumping around. What, are you his new lover? Are you jumping out to slander me to clear his name?"
Qin Yiren was so angry that she laughed and clapped her hands, saying, "If I weren't the one you slandered, I would really be impressed by your logic! I was just a righteous person who came to expose your conspiracy, and you've already labeled me as a villain who's having an affair with someone."
"Li Yueya, your skill at labeling people has become increasingly refined over time."
Li Yueya lowered her head, said nothing, and only shed tears.
How could she dare to reveal that so-called woman to the public? She had only been there a few hours, but she had already gotten to know almost the entire guard team.
While the survivors might not know who Bi Qiaoan was, the guards, even if they didn't recognize her, had certainly heard of her. If she revealed it, wouldn't the lie fall apart?
Mr. and Mrs. Li were originally reasonable people, but the events of the past year had stripped them of their refinement, replacing it with shrewdness and worldliness. They knew this was wrong, yet they indulged their daughter's recklessness. While blinded by greed, they also genuinely cared for their daughter.
Li's mother rushed towards the two of them, crying. Qin Yiren couldn't stop her in time, and not only was her face scratched, but Ji Kangyong also had a piece of flesh pinched off.
But Li's mother was still not satisfied and continued to berate the two of them. She kept calling them as filthy as possible.
Seeing that someone was protecting her, Ji Kangyong was touched, but also a little worried. Looking at Qin Yiren's already unsightly face now marred by injuries, and her nonchalant expression, he felt a pang of heartache.
Pushing away Li's mother, who was about to pounce on him again, Ji Kangyong raised his voice and explained, "You're right, I did choose another woman when the tsunami hit. That woman was indeed my buddy's wife."
As soon as he finished speaking, a collective gasp rippled through the room.
Before the discussion could begin, Ji Kangyong continued, “My buddy has twins. He can’t take care of his wife and children all by himself. As his brother, what’s wrong with me stepping forward to help his wife right away?”
After saying that, he chuckled self-deprecatingly, "It's funny, it's been three years since we broke up, hasn't it? At first, I tried to accept you, but we're incompatible. I can't handle a weak and petty woman like you. We broke up peacefully, didn't we?"
"No, I don't agree, we can't break up." Li Yueya raised her head, glaring at Qin Yiren with a vicious look in her eyes: "It's you, it's you, isn't it? Why can't you stand to see me happy? Why did you come to ruin my happiness?"
"I..." Qin Yiren stepped out from behind Ji Kangyong, intending to explain.
But Kevin Chyi didn't give her that chance, and directly tore off the mask of civility: "I broke up with you four years ago, and we haven't been in contact much for more than three years. Don't tell me we haven't properly broken up even after four years. Even if we were to get a divorce, the deadline for automatic divorce should have passed by now."
Ji Kangyong thought for a moment and continued, "Besides, we've only been together for three months, and because of work, we've only met a few times. We haven't even held hands, let alone done anything else inappropriate. There's no financial entanglement between us, nor any physical contact. So I really don't understand what reason you have to stand on the moral high ground and criticize me four years later!"
Li Yueya felt utterly ashamed. She looked up at Ji Kangyong with teary eyes and asked, "Are you really going to abandon me?"
Her pitiful appearance was irresistible to any man. Qin Yiren secretly clenched her fists, afraid that the man in front of her would also be unable to resist.
But Ji Kangyong shook his head without hesitation: "Someone like you is not someone I can afford. The damage you and your family have caused to my reputation and the reputation of the woman behind me today... I..."
I hope you will apologize to us both in front of everyone. As for the injuries on my face and this young woman's face, I also hope you will provide compensation according to the base's regulations.
He originally wanted to say, "Let's just leave it at that and cut ties completely."
But when he caught a glimpse of the trembling girl behind him, Ji Kangyong changed the subject and decided to stop showing goodwill to the Li family. He was afraid they would imagine that he still had feelings for her and try to get closer to him again.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yiren's eyes welled up with tears. A slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips, but she quickly suppressed it, afraid someone would see it.
The patrol captain understood what had happened and felt that Ji Kangyong had been wronged. He sympathized with him for two minutes and was about to speak when the family of four at the center of the conversation appeared.
Indeed, upon hearing "twins," the patrol captain immediately pictured Shen Yanming and his family of four. The Hai City guards all knew that Old Shen's wife had connections in the capital, so they often tried to provide her with conveniences.
"Captain Kou, you've really worked hard today." Shen Yanming stepped forward to greet the person.
Kou Guangshi smiled and waved his hand dismissively, "I've seen a good show too. It's just that your brother suffered a lot."
Shen Yanming nodded and looked at Li Yueya. He had a smile on his face, but his gaze was icy cold.
When Li Yueya heard Shen Yanming's voice, she knew she was in trouble. She shuddered and tried to run away. But the onlookers weren't about to let her off so easily and surrounded the Li family of three.
“Ms. Li, for the sake of our former colleagues, you shouldn’t be smearing my wife, should you? I remember Qiao An took good care of you when we were at work. Are you deliberately pretending to be easy to get along with to mislead my wife so that she will introduce you to Ji Kangyong?”
The words had barely left his mouth when the crowd erupted in uproar. Unexpectedly, the woman at the center of the conversation had been the matchmaker for those two.
What do you call this? Inviting a wolf into the house, taking your anger out on others, raising a thankless wolf, repaying kindness with enmity, or destroying what you can't have?
Everyone clicked their tongues in disbelief, unsure of what to say.
Shen Yanming, unconcerned about the spectacle, pointed to the woman beside him: "My wife, with a two- or three-year-old child, was in danger when my buddy risked his own life to save her. I'm so grateful to him, how could I be angry? Only a despicable person would mistake a heroic act for infidelity."
Ms. Li, now that the security team has arrived, I advise you to keep a low profile in your personal life but be high-profile in your work, and think twice before you act. Remember, this isn't a place where you can twist the truth.
Li Yueya swayed, never expecting to suffer such a series of blows.
She originally thought that moving to a different place would allow her to start her life anew.
But now, her reputation is ruined once again, and she will have no place here anymore. What should she do?
