Wang Rong was truly blunt. Initially, she didn't believe Zhao Shanshan when she found her and said those things, but when she actually faced it all, she realized what cruel reality was.
Therefore, she felt no psychological pressure dealing with those who wanted to argue or even use public opinion against her.
This really impressed Gu An'an. After all, women these days are still quite traditional, and it's truly admirable that she could handle something like this.
"You're not trying to say that everything I said is a lie, are you? I have plenty of evidence, and it can withstand scrutiny. I just don't know if you can withstand scrutiny."
Ling Xiao had never seen her so aggressive before, so it was impossible for him not to panic.
He originally wanted to appease Zhao Shanshan first, and then make up an excuse to win back Wang Rong's heart after this matter was resolved.
But in this situation, he knew that this method definitely wouldn't work.
He can only protect one.
Although the Wang family's conditions were good by local standards, they were still far inferior to the Zhao family's.
If he can keep Zhao Shanshan in check and get help from the Zhao family, he can stay at school, since he and Wang Rong are just dating and not married.
The choice is now obvious.
"Shanshan, I can explain."
Zhao Shanshan sneered, "Fine, explain yourself."
"I... I did think about marrying her before, but I was very young then and mistook my feelings for my sister for my boyfriend. It wasn't until I came to school and saw you that I realized that true love is something that makes your heart flutter and something that you think about day and night."
“I know what I did was wrong, but I don’t know how to tell you this. I was planning to find time to explain things to her. You are the only one in my heart. I didn’t expect her to come here suddenly.”
If this touching confession were happening normally, even someone with a low threshold for tears would be moved to tears.
Unfortunately, in such an awkward situation, let alone crying, many people were on the verge of suffering from embarrassment.
Some of the more perceptive classmates watched Zhao Shanshan nervously, afraid that she would be deceived by Ling Xiao's sweet words.
As Zhao Shanshan looked at Ling Xiao, she caught a glimpse of Gu An'an standing in the crowd watching the commotion. Her face flushed instantly, and her tone became even more unpleasant.
"Ling, you look really bad right now."
Then, looking at the teacher rushing over, he said, "Teacher, Ling Xiao lied to me, saying he was unmarried and had no girlfriend who was pursuing me. It turns out he already has a childhood sweetheart fiancée. Please, teacher, uphold justice for me and this classmate Wang."
"Yes! The reputation of Huada University cannot be ruined by such a scumbag. We urge the university to handle this matter fairly."
Ling Xiao was stunned!
He thought that even if this matter became public, the two girls would definitely be mortal enemies, but he never expected that they would be united against a common enemy and directly target him.
That shouldn't be the case.
That shouldn't be!
"No, teacher, I..."
Zhao Shanshan looked at him with disdain. "Isn't this true? You're not saying that I was a mistress to you two even though I knew you were dating Wang Rong, are you?"
"I......"
At this moment, Ling Xiao hated the two girls, but he didn't dare to say anything. Even if he wasn't afraid of Zhao Shanshan, he was afraid of the Zhao family behind her.
"Alright, come to our office and we'll talk this over properly. The school will definitely handle this fairly."
"Everyone, go home! Go do what you need to do, don't block the way here."
The three were taken away, but the onlookers were still quite excited and discussing what had just happened.
"To be honest, Zhao Shanshan and Xiao Rong's behavior is quite to my liking. If they were fighting and blaming each other over a man, it would be infuriating."
Tang Yani's eyes sparkled as she read the gossip. "It seems my dad was right. You really have to open your eyes when looking for a partner. It's a pity I'm so single-minded. I was so envious before. If I met another Ling Xiao, wouldn't I be tricked into selling myself and still be counting money for him?"
She was born on the grasslands and grew up interacting with animals, so she sometimes has a bit of a lapse in judgment.
Gu An'an imagined the scene of her dating a man like Ling Xiao, and it was exactly as she had described.
"Then find someone who is as simple-minded and honest as you."
Tang Yani nodded vigorously, "There are more people like that in the military. I still have to rely on my brother-in-law. Anyway, I dare not date any of the boys in our school."
Gu An'an: ...So this has happened to her again?
"We can only introduce suitable people, otherwise we would be guilty if we were paired up with a mismatched couple."
“I understand, I understand. What I mean is, brother-in-law, please keep an eye out for suitable candidates. Whether it works out or not is up to fate. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
Gu An'an had classes in the afternoon, so she didn't go home for lunch and went straight back to her dormitory for a nap.
When they returned to the dormitory, Zhao Shanshan also came back. When she saw Gu An'an, Zhao Shanshan was a little awkward. You see, she had heard those nonsense rumors and went to point fingers at people, but who knew that she would be the one who capsized.
"Gu An'an, wait a moment."
Hearing her voice, Gu An'an stopped and waited a few seconds before seeing Zhao Shanshan catch up.
"Thank you for this. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much longer I would have been deceived."
Gu An'an waved her hand, "No need to thank me, you should thank Ling. If he hadn't been the one to cry wolf and ruin my reputation, I wouldn't have bothered with other people's business."
"Why not do anything about it?"
Gu An'an chuckled, "Why should I care? I'm a classmate you've never spoken to, and he's your boyfriend. If I suddenly said those things to you, I might get myself into trouble."
Zhao Shanshan thought what she said made a lot of sense, but after a couple of seconds she shook her head, "No, in your eyes I'm the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong?"
She had always considered herself a person full of justice, but after Gu An'an said that, she actually felt a little wronged and angry.
Gu An'an didn't understand why she suddenly felt a little angry. She thought that a normal person should feel the same way.
"I've never spoken to you before, how would I know what kind of person you are?"
"That's true."
Zhao Shanshan nodded, "But I still want to thank you for this. From now on, we're friends. You can come to me if you need anything. I can't guarantee I can handle big problems, but I should be able to solve small ones, haha."
Although Gu An'an didn't think she would need to ask the other party for anything, seeing how beautiful the girl looked, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
