Chapter 84: Boyfriend is strong
The bubble of happiness is always easily popped, just like the dewdrops in the morning, which disappear without a trace when the sun shines.
Xu Yao, who was immersed in the sweetness of love the previous second, felt a chill on her back the next second, and always felt that something bad was going to happen.
A woman's sixth sense can be frighteningly accurate sometimes. Look, trouble immediately comes knocking on her door.
Recently, rumors about Xu Yao’s small business at the market have been growing like leeks, one after another.
This version is even more outrageous, saying that the things she sold were all inferior products, with low cost but sold at high prices, making a pure profit.
Some people also said that she engaged in unfair competition and used despicable means to squeeze out other vendors, and that she was simply a cancer in the market!
The stall that was once bustling with people was now deserted, with customers avoiding her small commodities as if they were some dangerous items.
Some customers who originally wanted to buy became hesitant after hearing these rumors. They looked at the products from left to right and ultimately put them back.
Xu Yao looked at the deserted stall and felt upset.
This familiar recipe, this familiar taste, who else could it be other than Lin Wan, the green tea?
This girl treated her as a dungeon BOSS, coming to show her presence every few days, like a ghost that wouldn't go away!
"Don't worry, wife, I'll take care of it." Xue Han waved his hand, showing his boyfriend's strength, like a walking sense of security transmitter.
"Yeah." Xu Yao gave him a sweet smile and felt warm in her heart.
With him by my side, I am not afraid even if the sky falls, let alone just a mere rumor.
The two decided to start from the source and find out the path of the spread of the rumor.
Aunt Wang from the supply and marketing cooperative is a well-known loudspeaker. She is very well-informed and nothing that happens in the market escapes her eyes.
"Auntie Wang, have you heard about the rumors about me in the market recently?" Xu Yao asked straight to the point.
Aunt Wang was eating melon seeds and said mysteriously, "Oh, Xiao Xu, you've asked the right person! I saw with my own eyes a sneaky guy saying bad things about you everywhere in the market. His spit was flying everywhere. If you didn't know, you would think he had a grudge against you for killing your father!"
"Do you still remember what that person looks like?" Xue Han asked.
Aunt Wang tried to recall, "He was short, had shifty eyes, and wore a grey coat. He didn't look like a good person!"
"Thank you, Aunt Wang!" After expressing her gratitude, Xu Yao and Xue Han went to look for Uncle Li at the market, who was a know-it-all at the market.
When Uncle Li heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, you mean that guy? I've seen him before! He was also whispering to that girl Lin Wan. I don't know what they were talking about."
Lin Wan! It’s indeed her! This girl is really persistent!
Xu Yao and Xue Han looked at each other and already had the answer in their hearts.
It seems that Lin Wan is behind this rumor again.
Following this clue, they began to look for the guy with "sly eyes" in the market.
The market is huge, with people coming and going, and finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But Xu Yao and Xue Han did not give up. Like two hounds, they sniffed the clues and approached the target step by step...
As the sun sets, people in the market gradually disperse.
In a remote corner, Xu Yao and Xue Han saw a familiar figure - a man wearing a grey coat and with shifty eyes. Wasn't he the man described by Aunt Wang and Uncle Li?
The man seemed to have noticed something, and turned back suddenly, with a flash of panic in his eyes...
"Stop!" Xue Han shouted, breaking the tranquility of the evening.
The man was like a mouse whose tail was stepped on, and he wanted to run away. Unfortunately, Xue Han was no pushover. He rushed forward, grabbed the guy by the collar, and pulled him back like a chicken.
"Run? Where are you running to?" Xue Han's voice was as cold as ice, and it scared the guy so much that his calves trembled.
"I... I didn't run away..." The guy stammered in his defense, his eyes wandering, and you could tell at a glance that he had something to hide.
Xu Yao took a step forward and stared at him sharply. "Tell me, who instructed you to spread rumors?"
The guy hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to say anything. It was like squeezing toothpaste and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"You don't want to tell me? Then don't blame us for being rude!" Xue Han increased the strength in his hands. The guy screamed in pain and immediately became a coward.
"I'll tell you! It was Lin Wan! Lin Wan asked me to do it!" He confessed everything at once, fearing that Xue Han would give him another "hug of love".
"How much money did Lin Wan give you?" Xu Yao continued to ask.
"Five...five dollars..." The guy's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
Selling your conscience for only five dollars, this is really "good quality and low price"!
Xu Yao and Xue Han exchanged glances, it was indeed Lin Wan!
This girl is really haunting me, like a dog-skin plaster that I can't get rid of!
"What did she ask you to say?" Xu Yao continued to ask, wanting to get to the bottom of the matter.
That guy didn't dare to hide anything and told everything Lin Wan had taught him. Those rumors were so unbearable to hear that Xu Yao was furious and wanted to rush to Lin Wan and slap her in the face.
This Lin Wan is truly a “talent”!
The rumors he made up were so "creative", it would be a shame if he didn't write a novel!
Xue Han patted Xu Yao on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be angry, my wife, this kind of scumbag is not worth your anger."
"Yeah, I know." Xu Yao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Getting angry won't solve the problem. The most urgent thing is to find a way to clarify the rumors and restore one's reputation.
They took the guy to the market management office and made him admit in front of everyone that he had spread the rumors and pointed out that Lin Wan was the mastermind behind it.
Now the truth is out and the rumors are dispelled.
Stall owners and customers at the market expressed their sympathy and support for Xu Yao and condemned Lin Wan's despicable behavior.
Justice may be late, but it will never be absent!
Xu Yao's small business gradually returned to normal, and customers began to flock to her stall again.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yao finally felt relieved and smiled with relief.
However, the story does not end there.
Just when Xu Yao and Xue Han thought the storm had subsided, a sudden piece of news once again disrupted their peaceful life.
"Yaoyao, it's bad! Someone has reported your small business, and now people from the industrial and commercial department are investigating it!" A stall owner ran up to Xu Yao breathlessly and said anxiously.
Xu Yao and Xue Han looked at each other, and a bad feeling arose in their hearts.
Who is behind this?
Could it be Lin Wan again?
"Let's go and take a look!" Xue Han took Xu Yao's hand and said in a firm tone.
They walked quickly towards the investigation site of the industrial and commercial department, feeling a sense of tension as if a storm was about to come...
