Chapter 83 Perfect Solution
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Fang Ling without mercy: "Now the whole family building is saying that I'm cheating on her. You say let it go, but then you let my reputation go? I'll give you a chance. Come with me downstairs and explain everything in front of everyone in the compound. Otherwise, we'll go to the police station. I can't take the blame for this."
Fang Ling was also weighing the pros and cons in her heart. After all, going to the police station would be a big deal, and if things went wrong it might even affect her man's job, which would be the end of it. It would be better to go and clarify things, which would be embarrassing but a smaller matter.
"Then I'll go downstairs with you to clarify things." In the end, Fang Ling felt that this would be better.
Ai Xiaoxia pulled Fang Ling's arm and went downstairs. The noise attracted many people to come out and watch the fun.
When they got downstairs, Jiang Xiuying had already gathered some people. As there were so many people, they spoke loudly. Seeing so many people gathered downstairs, naturally a lot of people came down.
After a while, 70% of the people in the residential building were watching the excitement in the yard.
Ai Xiaoxia dragged Fang Ling to the front of the crowd. "My name is Ai Xiaoxia. I'm sure many people have heard rumors about me today. The one who fabricated these rumors is Fang Ling, my neighbor. She's impolite and likes to treat other people's homes as her own. I like quiet, so today I refused her permission to come to my house, and she spread rumors about me, saying that I didn't open the door because there was a man in the room. This rumor has damaged my reputation, so I must bring this rumormonger out to explain it clearly." After she finished speaking, she pushed Fang Ling and said, "Go ahead."
Fang Ling also knew that she had told the story. If she didn't admit it, Ai Xiaoxia would really take her to the police station. She was really afraid of going to jail.
So he lowered his head and said, "Actually, I didn't mean any harm. We're neighbors. I just went to her house to use the sewing machine and sit with the kids for a while. I didn't offend her. She didn't open the door, and I was just angry. And why wouldn't she open the door? I was just speculating. I didn't say she was definitely having an affair. Isn't this just spreading rumors?"
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Fang Ling. "You like visiting friends, so do everyone else? Why do all houses have locks? It's because people need their own private space. Respecting others is also respecting yourself. Also, spreading rumors can be a big deal or a small one. I have a strong psychological endurance, and I have the ability to prove my innocence, so the damage it causes me isn't that big. But if I were a timid, inexperienced person, too scared to come out and hide at home, and this matter wasn't immediately cleared up, wouldn't it become a stain on me in the future? If my husband didn't trust me enough, and my in-laws made a big fuss about it, what would the consequences be for me? Have you ever thought about it?"
This statement might not resonate with others, but Jiang Xiuying did. Thinking of her own sister, she felt distressed, sighed deeply, and stood up: "My own sister was slandered and framed in this way. Now she is mentally ill and crazy. My old mother is over 60 years old and has to take care of her every day. I advise everyone, even if you want to gossip about the Dong family and the Li family, don't use a woman's reputation to spread rumors. This may not only harm one person, but the whole family."
As an outsider, after hearing such a real example, the onlookers fell silent, because they really did not expect that a rumor could cause such harm. Some of them also regretted that they had followed the rumor and spread it.
At this time, the onlookers looked at Fang Ling with contempt and resentment. Today, Fang Ling's reputation in this compound was completely ruined.
Ai Xiaoxia saw that it was almost time to get off work and didn't want to make the matter worse, so as not to damage Lu Jingshen's reputation.
So she said to everyone: "Now everyone knows that I am innocent, let's end this matter here. I apologize to everyone for taking up your time." After that, she bowed to the crowd, showing all the courtesy she should have, which also made everyone more aware of her own moral character.
Fang Ling was feeling dejected at this time. She lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. She just wanted to go home quickly.
Jiang Xiuying said to a few people she was familiar with, "Everyone, please go away."
Because someone took the lead in dispersing, everyone started to go back one after another because it was time to cook.
Watching people disperse, Ai Xiaoxia held Jiang Xiuying's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you so much."
"It's okay, it's what I should do." Jiang Xiuying replied with a smile.
"Then I'll go back."
"Um."
After saying goodbye to Jiang Xiuying, Ai Xiaoxia ignored Fang Ling and walked back.
Fang Ling followed behind Ai Xiaoxia and didn't dare to say anything. She wanted Ai Xiaoxia not to tell her husband about this, but then she thought, whether she told it or not, the whole hospital would know about it.
Ai Xiaoxia arrived at the door of her house, and He Xiangju came out of the house: "Sister-in-law, I just fell asleep in the house. I just heard about your situation and I didn't come out to persuade you. I'm really sorry."
Ai Xiaoxia could see that He Xiangju didn't look like she had just woken up. Her eyes were evasive and her hands were nervously pinching the corners of her clothes. It was obvious that what she said was false.
Also, He Xiangju had told Ai Xiaoxia last time that she didn't have the habit of sleeping during the day, which made it even more certain that she was lying just now.
She actually had a good impression of He Xiangju before. Of course, she couldn't say she was a bad person now. It was just that she didn't want to get involved in these things. It was understandable that she was afraid of getting into trouble. However, since she didn't have such a deep friendship with her, she just needed to maintain an appropriate relationship in the future. There was no need to be too open-hearted.
She smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal, it's all over."
He Xiangju smiled awkwardly: "I'm glad you're okay."
Ai Xiaoxia nodded: "Then I'll go home and cook."
He Xiangju also nodded and went back to the house.
After returning home, Ai Xiaoxia had no mood to cook. She sat in front of the window, looking outside, feeling very depressed. She felt that she had really been framed for nothing.
Lu Jingshen came back a little while later. He had heard about Ai Xiaoxia and Fang Ling in the corridor and hurried into the house: "Xiaoxia, are you okay?"
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen aggrievedly: "I'm fine. You know I'm not the one being bullied. I'm just a little depressed. Why did I have to have such a neighbor?"
Lu Jingshen sighed: "Don't be depressed, let's move out next year and buy our own house."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and asked Lu Jingshen: "I forgot to ask you, don't you suspect that I really have a man hidden at home?"
Lu Jingshen smiled: "You are not that kind of person, and you would not bother to do such a thing."
Ai Xiaoxia also smiled: "You understand me. Oh, I didn't cook, let's go out to eat, it made me upset today."
Lu Jingshen nodded: "Let's eat hot pot."
"good."
The two men put on their clothes, went out and locked the door when Chen Wenxing came over with Fang Ling, whose hair was disheveled and whose face had slap marks. It was obvious that Chen Wenxing had also attacked Fang Ling.
Chen Wenxing's face was very bad. He bowed to Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia and said, "Mr. Lu, sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. I brought this ignorant woman from my family to apologize to you."
Lu Jingshen didn't say anything, because whether to forgive or not depended on Ai Xiaoxia herself. He looked at Ai Xiaoxia.
Ai Xiaoxia didn't think about what to do to Fang Ling today. Apart from anything else, Lu Jingshen and Chen Wenxing were colleagues, so they had to give them some face.
She said, "I won't talk about the past. I hope there won't be similar things happening again in the future."
Fang Ling quickly assured: "I promise I won't do it again in the future."
Lu Jingshen said, "Let's leave it at that. We're going out to eat, so I won't say any more."
