"Do you really want me to produce evidence?" Huo Minxue didn't answer Huang Peilan's question, but stared into her eyes and asked again.
"I..." Huang Peilan felt inexplicably flustered, but she had no way out now that things had come to this point.
“If you can’t provide evidence, then it’s slander. Senior Brother Minxue, I do like you, but you can’t take advantage of my feelings for you to humiliate me like this.”
After Huang Peilan finished speaking, she cried even more bitterly, and her appearance truly aroused the sympathy of many men.
"Senior Brother Huo, Comrade Perrin is probably not the kind of person you described. You may have really misunderstood her."
“That’s right. Everyone in the unit knows how much Peilan thinks of you. She’s too busy protecting you to possibly ruin your reputation behind your back.” Some of the female colleagues couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward to comfort Huang Peilan.
Huang Peilan was even more pleased with herself for having gained support, but she still spoke up, feeling wronged.
"Alright, don't talk about Senior Brother Minxue anymore. He was probably deceived by others. I believe he is not the kind of rude person."
“Perrin, you’re too easygoing. I think he did it on purpose. He knows you like him and won’t blame him, so he’s throwing all the blame on you.”
"I'm fine. As long as Senior Brother Minxue feels better, I'm willing to endure any hardship." Huang Peilan was determined to firmly attach the labels of being devoted, generous, and considerate to herself.
After all, even if she can't be with Huo Minxue in the future, she can find a partner among other colleagues at work.
People who can get into this place all come from well-off families.
This is why she absolutely refuses to admit to what Huo Minxue said about her.
"Very good." Huo Minxue had never seen such a person before, and he turned to look at a junior brother who was usually quite close to him.
"Go and call everyone in the unit over. I want to find out where this rumor came from."
“…Okay.” The junior brother turned around and prepared to leave.
When Huang Peilan saw that Huo Minxue was going to make such a big fuss, her expression immediately changed, and she spoke up.
"Senior, it's working hours now, everyone's very busy. How can you gather everyone together because of your personal matters?"
Even if you are the teacher's favorite student, you can't be so disregardful of the rules!
After Huang Peilan said this, some of her colleagues showed signs of dissatisfaction.
It's one thing that Huo Minxue is usually highly regarded by his teachers, but now he dares to say such things. Anyone who doesn't know him would think he's the boss of this laboratory.
"Rules?" Huo Minxue chuckled softly upon hearing these two words.
"Senior Brother Minxue, what are you laughing at? I know you have a teacher backing you up, but you can't just bully others because of that." Now that things have come to a head, Huang Peilan doesn't care about sentiment anymore.
If Huo Minxue gathers everyone together, they'll eventually find her in the investigation.
"Senior Sister Huang, please say less," the junior brother couldn't help but remind Huang Peilan.
"Why should I say less? He's abusing his privileges in the lab, can't we even say a few words? Do you expect us all to be like you, fawning over the powerful and belittling the weak, and going along with his corrupt ways?" Huang Peilan's attitude towards her junior brother was quite unfriendly.
"What do you mean by flattering the powerful and belittling the weak, or going along with the crowd? Our entire lab was invested in by Senior Brother Huo." The junior brother was easily offended, and Huang Peilan's words were too much for him to bear, so he dropped a bombshell.
His words stunned everyone present.
Huang Peilan stared wide-eyed for a long while before speaking in disbelief.
"That's impossible. Isn't this laboratory the property of the organization? How could it be Huo Minxue's?"
