Chapter 167 If this continues, you'll even lose your fiancé.
"Brother Zhou?" Lin Xi's gaze shifted back and forth between Zhou Jingming and Jiang Yan. "Jiang Yan, could she be your fiancée?"
Zhou Jingming nodded. "Yes, is there some misunderstanding between you and Xiang Lei?"
Lin Xi glanced at Xiang Lei and said, "There's no misunderstanding. They just fought over a seat, but she started it."
"Brother-in-law, do you know her?" Xiang Lei felt very uncomfortable. Why should Lin Xi be called "Xi Xi" while she was called by her full name? She was clearly closer to her brother-in-law, but they were still relatives.
Jiang Yan also looked at Zhou Jingming. Hearing him call her "Xi Xi" made her face turn pale. He had never called her that before.
“I know her. Xi Xi is…” Zhou Jingming paused for a moment, “She is Ranran’s high school classmate.”
"Jiang Ran's high school classmate?" Xiang Lei glared at Lin Xi. "So what? You have to take legal responsibility for hitting someone."
"Then go call the police," Lin Xi rolled her eyes at her. "You don't think that Senior Jiang Yan is a judge and can convict me here, do you?"
"Jingming," Jiang Yan looked at Zhou Jingming, "what do you think we should do about this?"
Zhou Jingming was in a dilemma. They were all his cousins. "We're all acquaintances, so let's just let this matter go."
“Brother-in-law, you can’t be so biased,” Xiang Lei stomped her foot angrily. “I’m already injured, and you’ve made me lose face in front of my classmates. I don’t care, I want Lin Xi to publicly apologize to me, admit his mistake, and pay my medical expenses.”
Lin Xi laughed in anger, "Originally, I was planning to let this go for the sake of Senior Jiang Yan and Brother Zhou, but you've taken advantage of my kindness."
"I now demand that you apologize to me in front of the whole class. Forget about the medical expenses; I don't need that money."
Xiang Lei scoffed and looked at Lin Xi with disdain. "You don't need that little bit of money. I heard that before you went to college, you lived by picking up garbage. Now you've hooked up with a rich guy and you're even pretending to be someone else. Which penny did you earn yourself? You got it by selling yourself."
Lin Xi's eyes turned icy. "Xiang Lei, I'll give you one chance. Apologize to me immediately."
“Xiang Lei,” Zhou Jingming’s expression also turned serious, “you’ve gone too far.”
Jiang Yan clenched her fists and suddenly asked, "Leilei, who is the rich guy she's hooked up with?"
Could it be Zhou Jingming?
"Jiang Yan!" Zhou Jingming shouted sternly, "How could you fool around with Xiang Lei like that!"
"You yelled at me..." Jiang Yan's nose stung, tears welled up, and she pointed at Lin Xi, saying aggrievedly, "You did this for her..."
Before Jiang Yan could finish speaking, a handsome young man ran over and hugged Lin Xi.
"Xi Xi, what happened?" Song Xu saw Lin Xi talking to a few people from afar, and judging from their expressions, they seemed to be arguing. He quickly parked his car and ran over.
“Cousin, it’s him,” Xiang Lei secretly pointed to Song Xu, “This guy is Lin Xi’s rich second-generation boyfriend.”
Huh? Jiang Yan silently withdrew her finger.
At this moment, Bai Tiantian and Song Chen also saw them and walked over together.
"Xixi, Jingming, what are you doing?" Bai Tiantian asked curiously, looking at everyone present.
She knew Xiang Lei, but not Jiang Yan.
Bai Tiantian didn't have a good impression of Xiang Lei. She was just average-looking, but she insisted on pretending to be a goddess and always stretched her long neck like a swan.
He's indifferent when talking to girls, acts superior to most men, and only smiles at handsome men from wealthy families.
He's a sycophantic sycophant.
"Xi Xi, did Xiang Lei bully you?" Bai Tiantian rolled up her sleeves, ready to teach Xiang Lei a lesson for Lin Xi.
Lin Xi leaned against Song Xu's chest, her previous assertiveness gone, replaced by a heart full of grievance, her eyes reddening. "She just said I was a gold digger, making money by sleeping with men."
"Who said that!" Song Chen retorted before Song Xu could speak, "How could my own sister, Song Chen's sister, be short of money?"
Xiang Lei was so frightened that she hid behind Jiang Yan. She was shocked. How could Lin Xi be Teacher Song's younger sister?
Jiang Yan was stunned. She knew Song Chen; they were classmates in the same grade, and she also knew that Song Chen came from a well-off family.
Song Chen is also on the list of outstanding graduates.
She glanced at Song Xu, who was holding Lin Xi. He was young and handsome. This was hardly a case of someone marrying a rich man; they were clearly a well-matched couple.
What exactly is this relationship? Jiang Yan has handled all sorts of complicated cases, but now she is bewildered by the somewhat chaotic relationship in front of her.
"Are you planning to settle this privately or publicly?" Song Xu looked at Xiang Lei, who was spreading rumors, with a cold gaze.
"What do you mean by settling this publicly or privately?" Xiang Lei's voice lacked confidence, as the other side had a large and powerful presence.
“If we go to court, we’ll sue you for defamation. We have lawyers ready,” Song Xu said coldly. “If you want to settle this privately, kneel down and apologize to Xi Xi right now.”
It's peak time for people to come and go at the school gate right now, and given Xiang Lei's prideful nature, there's no way she would kneel down to apologize.
"Cousin, you have to help me." Xiang Lei could only turn to Jiang Yan for help now.
Jiang Yan is now at a loss. Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but because Xiang Lei spoke carelessly, things have become complicated, and she almost said or did something wrong as well.
“Jingming,” Jiang Yan looked at Zhou Jingming, hoping he could step in and mediate, “there’s a misunderstanding here.”
Zhou Jingming's mind was in turmoil, but the current situation was even more complicated.
"Attorney Song, President Song, Tian Tian," Zhou Jingming greeted them one by one. He pulled Jiang Yan to his side, ignoring Xiang Lei. "There is indeed some misunderstanding. This is my fiancée, Jiang Yan, and Xiang Lei is her cousin."
“Xi Xi, I’m so sorry,” Jiang Yan said to Lin Xi. “I apologize for what I just said. I’m sorry.”
“Cousin,” Xiang Lei objected. How could her cousin back down first? No matter how powerful the other side was, her cousin’s husband’s family was rich and powerful. Were they afraid of losing to them? “Why are you apologizing? You did nothing wrong, and I didn’t say anything wrong either.”
"Enough!" Jiang Yan was really fed up with her cousin. She caused trouble outside, and the whole family had to clean up her messes. "Hurry up and apologize to Xixi."
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Xiang Lei completely broke down. She shook off Jiang Yan's hand and said, "Cousin, why are you siding with Lin Xi? What's so great about her that even your husband likes her and sides with her? If this continues, you won't even have a fiancé."
Jiang Yan raised her hand and slapped Xiang Lei across the face, angrily scolding, "Xiang Lei, is that something you should say?"
"You hit me!" Xiang Lei covered her slapped face, tears of grievance streaming down her face. She was having such a bad day, getting hit twice in one day. She had never been hit twice in her entire life.
"Jiang Yan, I'm going back to find my aunt right now. Let's see how you explain this when you get back!" Xiang Lei said, then turned and ran away.
