Li Lu's figure was as slender as a willow in the breeze, and her eyes, when looking at Lin Wangshu, showed no resentment but rather a pleading look.
"If I have offended you in any way before, I apologize, but you can't do something like this to get revenge on me. You're ruining other people's relationships, and you won't have a good reputation."
Almost the entire performing arts troupe was present. The stage was already set up, and Li Lu was really into acting. The audience's emotions were also stirred up, and they glared angrily at Lin Wangshu.
Lin Wangshu couldn't help but laugh at the scene. There wasn't even any evidence, yet she was already being called a "broken shoe".
The large group of people behind Li Lu had originally come to watch the spectacle. After all, the drama of the wife beating the "mistress" was so exciting that no one wanted to miss it, so their eyes were shining with excitement.
Seeing Li Lu, the victim, begging and pleading, while Lin Wangshu, the "other woman," acted as if she were completely uninvolved, they couldn't stand it anymore. So, some righteous people stood up and spoke out for justice.
"Lin Wangshu, don't be so arrogant. You stole someone else's man and you still think you're right?"
"They put on an aloof act all day long, but do such shameless things behind the scenes."
"Let's go to the team leader and get her kicked out of our performing arts troupe!"
As they were talking, some of the faster ones had already run off to find the leader.
Others comforted Li Lu, saying, "Don't be afraid of her, we will all stand up for you."
Li Lu bowed deeply to everyone with a grateful expression, "Thank you all. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
Seeing that these people had convicted Lin Wangshu in just a few words, He Xiao was extremely anxious. However, she couldn't win against so many people with just one mouth, and her eyes turned red with anger.
Song Jing held Lin Wangshu's hand tenderly and said, "Wangshu, I believe in you."
Lin Wangshu smiled at her, touched, and squeezed her hand reassuringly.
Seeing Li Lu wiping away tears with her head down, Lin Wangshu actually clapped her hands and said admiringly, "Comrade Li Lu, you are amazing. You acted really well. I only pointed out your mistakes on my first day here, and you have held a grudge until now. With just a few words, you have turned me into a third party who ruined other people's relationship. Your methods are really impressive."
He glanced at the people behind her and said, "Who will dare to talk to you from now on? Who knows what they said that offended you? If you play the victim again, you could ruin someone's life."
As soon as these words were spoken, some people looked at Li Lu with strange eyes. Seeing that things were not going well, Li Lu shook her head repeatedly, "Comrade Lin, how could you say such a thing to me?"
As if remembering something, she gave a bitter smile and said, "Forget it, I can't afford to offend you. Let's just let this matter go. I won't hold it against you. I just hope you can treat Weidong well in the future. He's a little afraid of the cold. I knitted gloves for him but haven't had time to give them to him yet. I'll have to trouble you with them in the future. He also loves practicing calligraphy and loves fountain pens the most..." She choked up and couldn't speak anymore at the end.
Lin Wangshu almost laughed. Jiang Weidong likes to practice calligraphy? Is this really him? Li Lu must have mistaken him for someone else!
Wang Hong couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at Lin Wangshu angrily, saying, "Lulu is such a good person, how can you bear to bully her and seduce the person she likes? If you have any conscience, apologize to her now, quit the art troupe, and never show your face again."
Lin Wangshu looked at the finger that was almost poking her face, slapped it away forcefully, and sneered: "You say I seduced someone, fine, produce the evidence. If it's true, I'll kowtow to you and apologize, but if you can't produce it..."
Lin Wangshu looked at her and Li Lu with a fierce gaze that made one's heart tremble. "You have humiliated me so much today, I want both of you to get out of the art troupe."
"I also want to see what evidence you have!" A stern female voice came from behind the crowd, her voice laced with anger.
People turned around and saw that Gong Shan had arrived, with Gao Qing beside him. It seemed that someone had called them over to make decisions.
Gao Qing had already heard the gist of what happened on the way. Seeing Li Lu crying so pitifully, yet Lin Wangshu was so aggressive, she was instantly furious. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Lin Wangshu, as a soldier, how could you seduce your comrade's girlfriend? Do you deserve the uniform you wear?"
Seeing that she had accused Lin Wangshu without conducting any investigation, Gong Shan said with some dissatisfaction, "We don't even know the truth of the matter. Let's speak with evidence!"
Ignoring Gao Qing's words, Lin Wangshu stared intently at Li Lu and said, word by word, "Where's the evidence?"
Li Lu felt uneasy under her gaze, but the thought of that photo gave her confidence. A faint smile flashed across her lips, but she then put on a troubled expression and said, "Comrade Lin, I don't want to embarrass you. If the evidence is presented, how can you stay in the art troupe? I'll just treat it as a misunderstanding. You just need to apologize to me."
Seeing that she was being bullied like this, yet still thinking of others, Gao Qing couldn't help but pat her head with heartache and said, "Good child, you are too soft-hearted. You will suffer if you encounter such a shameless person."
Lin Wangshu had never been insulted like this before, and her eyes reddened, but she still straightened her back, refusing to let anyone look down on her. Her eyes burned with a fierce light as she looked at Gao Qing. "How am I shameless? Where is your evidence? Just because you are the captain, do you think you can insult the daughter of a martyr like this?"
Every word was like a knife, and Gao Qing was so frightened that she took a step back. After she came to her senses, she said with some embarrassment and anger, "Don't try to make a big deal out of this. Your parents are still alive and well. In order to exonerate yourself, you actually cursed your own parents."
Lin Wangshu continued to look at her, her tone tinged with sarcasm, "My biological father was a soldier who became a policeman after leaving the military. He died a heroic death while protecting the lives and property of the people. His superiors recognized him as a martyr. What? Captain Gao, you know so much about my adoptive father's position, yet you didn't find out any of this?"
Gao Qing's face turned pale and then red, and she dared not look at her anymore. She urged Li Lu, "Where's your evidence? Hurry up and show it." As long as there was evidence to prove that this girl had indeed seduced someone else's boyfriend, no matter how eloquently she spoke, it would be useless.
Now everyone looked at Li Lu, and she dared not keep them in suspense any longer. She tugged at Wang Hong's sleeve, signaling her to take it out.
Wang Hong was pulled back to her senses and hurriedly took out a photo, holding it up in front of Lin Wangshu. She said in a fierce but weak voice, "Isn't this Jiang Weidong, your boyfriend with Lulu? Look at him smiling so disgustingly. Do you dare to say you don't like him?"
Lin Wangshu recognized the photo as a picture of herself and Jiang Weidong from before, wondering how it ended up in Wang Hong's hands.
Seeing them pointing at Jiang Weidong and saying he was Li Lu's boyfriend, Lin Wangshu felt that Li Lu was probably being deceived, so she smiled smugly and said, "That's right, I like him."
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in discussion, seemingly surprised that she had admitted it so readily. Li Lu could barely contain her smugness. "You're finished," she silently said to Lin Wangshu.
Gao Qing breathed a sigh of relief and shouted at her sternly, "Then what else do you have to say?"
He Xiao also looked at her in disbelief; she didn't think Wang Shu was that kind of person.
Hearing the insults from those around her, Lin Wangshu's smile widened, and she said leisurely, "Is there a problem with liking my partner?"
