"I... am in the outhouse!"
Jiang Huaisong held his breath, feeling wronged but unable to speak out.
He did meet with Gu Jiangli half an hour ago, but how could he have done anything indecent to him?
He was so angry that he almost slapped her, how could he have any intention of molesting her?
Jiang Huai remained calm and composed, then asked, "There are many guests today, and quite a few must have gone to the restroom. Has anyone seen you?"

Jiang Huaisong looked around anxiously, trying to find someone in the crowd to give him false testimony. He saw Sun Bai.

"Miss Gu couldn't stand your harassment, so she pushed you away angrily and ran away."
After he finished speaking, he asked Gu Jiangli softly, "Miss Gu, is what I just said true?"
Gu Jiangli lowered her head, avoiding eye contact, and her eyes gradually filled with mist.
After a moment, she responded softly, "That's true."
