"No, she's been pestering Bo Gong these past few days. Haven't you seen how clingy she is? Does she seem like someone who's grateful? She's trying to steal Sister Xu's man. Don't be fooled by her, she's not a good person!"
Yu Limei was extremely anxious when she saw that everyone had been completely fooled by Fang Li. She wondered if these people had been kicked in the head by a donkey, how could they believe whatever they were told.
"Comrade You, Comrade Fang has already explained it, so you don't need to doubt it anymore. Everyone has eyes and can tell right from wrong."
"They just wanted to thank Bo Gong. Comrade You is being too suspicious. Besides, Bo Gong is already married. If she dared to do that, the consequences of being reported would be very serious."
"That's right, how could Comrade Renfang not know? If you ask me, Comrade You, you're just worrying for nothing."
Yuri stamped her foot in anger, practically fuming at these people: "Ugh, I just can't reason with you guys, she clearly has ulterior motives..."
“Comrade You, I know you are on good terms with Comrade Xu, but you have really misunderstood me. How could I do such a thing?” Fang Li interrupted her, her tone somewhat urgent, as if she was eager to prove her innocence. As she spoke, the tears she had just wiped away began to fall again.
Seeing this, the other workers all turned their accusing gazes toward You Limei, condemning her for doubting Fang Li in this way.
Yu Limei was almost brought to tears by the workers' accusing gazes. In terms of cunning, Yu Limei was no match for the reborn Fang Li.
Fang Shili had experienced everything in her past life, and she knew better how to exploit people's weaknesses to put herself in an advantageous position. How could the naive Yu Limei possibly win against her?
Bo Jingran finished his lunchbox and was about to go outside to wash and put it away when he saw a large crowd gathered not far away. He frowned, but the distance was too far for him to see or hear clearly. He glanced at the crowd and was about to go back inside when he heard a colleague walking towards him. When he saw him, the colleague was very excited: "Hey Bo, don't you know? There are two women over there arguing about you. Aren't you going to go and see?"
Upon hearing this, Bo Jingran's face darkened. The look of amusement in the other person's eyes made him very uncomfortable. Without replying, he walked in that direction. The person behind him sneered and his eyes darkened. Unfortunately, he was just a little short.
As Fang Li watched everyone criticize You Limei, she pretended to wipe away her tears, but her eyes were full of mockery. This little brat thinks she can compete with her? How naive!
Fang Li: "Everyone, listen to me. Let's just let this matter go. I don't want Comrade You Limei to be criticized by everyone because of this. I want to reiterate that there is really nothing between me and Bo Gong. I was just expressing my gratitude."
"Comrade Fang, there's no need for thanks. I haven't helped you at all, and I don't even know you. What help could I possibly have? On the contrary, Comrade Fang's behavior these past few days has been incredibly annoying to me. I have a wife, and I will always love her and never have anyone else. I hope Comrade Fang understands this and will stop bothering me."
A magnetic voice rang out from the crowd, drawing everyone's attention to the source of the sound. Only then did they realize that Bo Jingran had appeared there without anyone noticing.
Fang Li didn't expect Bo Jingran to appear and deny his relationship with her. Her hands clenched tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh. This pain was nothing compared to the pain in her heart. He had helped her that day, so why wouldn't he admit it?
Bo Jingran looked around, his expression serious and solemn: "From now on, if I ever hear anyone discussing my relationship with Comrade Fang Li, I don't recommend that the police handle it. Let's leave it at that. Perhaps you would prefer that my wife handle it."
The last sentence was extremely damaging, and everyone fell silent, looking here and then at the sky, but no one dared to meet Bo Jingran's gaze.
Yu Limei, her previous gloom gone, raised an eyebrow. This time, she was in high spirits. She covered her lips with her hand to suppress the urge to laugh, and opened her mouth wide to ask Fang Li, "Comrade Fang, didn't you say before that Bo Gong helped you escape the harassment of the thugs, and that's why you tried to get into the steel factory to thank him for his help? Now you've been slapped in the face, haven't you?"
And you people, she sheds a few tears and you believe her? You're all grown up and you don't even use your brains to think. Comrade Fang is always clinging to you, and the way she looks at Bo Gong is like she wants to stick to him. Is that gratitude?
Who would look at someone expressing gratitude with eyes like that? Shameless! Now that Professor Bo has proven he didn't help you, it's you, Comrade Fang, who's spouting nonsense and misleading others. So, I'd like to ask you, have I misunderstood you?
Fang Li kept her head down, neither saying a word nor objecting. Only then did everyone realize that they had been tricked.
"No, I'm not lying!" Fang Li raised her head to retort, her eyes fixed on Bo Jingran: "That day, when you came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, you passed through an alley. I was being harassed at that time. You shouted, 'Don't move, I'll call the police to arrest you,' and then those thugs ran away. Why won't you admit it? Why?!"
Bo Jingran suddenly remembered, and was speechless and embarrassed. That day, he saw that someone's family had a wolfhound, and he couldn't help but like it so he started to tease it. It rolled on the ground and flicked its tail, which he really liked.
After teasing it for a while, he left, but the wolfhound followed him all the way. When he stopped, it stopped too; when he walked, it followed. It was really frustrating. He wanted to take it back, but it already had an owner, so he had no choice but to drive it away. The sentence Fang Li said was the last time he yelled at the dog. He had yelled at it several times before, and this last time was the last time he drove it away.
He didn't expect that, by sheer coincidence, the thugs thought he was shouting for them to hear, and they immediately ran far away in fright. It was indeed a misunderstanding.
Bo Jingran explained the reason to everyone, and everyone nodded. So that's how it is. It seems that Comrade Fang really misunderstood, thinking that Bo Gong was the one who saved her. To be honest, this coincidence is too coincidental, and it is only natural that people would misunderstand.
Fang Li shook her head, not believing it at all. How could such a coincidence happen in this world? She opened her mouth to refute it, but then she thought that if she angered Bo Gong, how would she get close to him? In that case, wouldn't she not even have the chance to get close to him? She anxiously thought about how to solve this predicament.
At this moment, the workshop foreman rushed over, his face dark, and roared, "What are you all doing here instead of working in the workshop at this hour? Are you all very idle? Do you need me to give you a day off so you can have time to watch the show!"
Upon hearing this, everyone lost all interest in watching the show and quickly returned to their posts to continue their respective tasks.
