55. The Stinky Rival in Love is actually breaking up!
Have you ever played with a boomerang?
You throw it out and it comes back, and it hits them on the head.
Yang Yueping originally wanted to paint Lin Yibai as that kind of vixen mistress who is vain and deceives others for their money, trying to pin on her the accusation of being greedy for Xia Changyu’s money.
There’s a straightforward way to counter such slander.
All it takes is to expose one’s spending records. It’s truly disgusting to do something like “self-prove” one’s innocence.
Lin Yibai took out her phone and said, “All expenses from Fucheng to Binhai, including high-speed train tickets and inn expenses, are in my WeChat bill. If you think it’s necessary for me to prove my innocence, I can show the police when they arrive, but I won’t show you.”
Now, the question arises.
Lin Yibai had enough evidence and courage to prove her innocence.
What about you?
Yang Yueping and the others looked evasive, clearly thinking, although I might be wrong, since you’ve proven your innocence, let’s pretend this never happened.
Lin Yibai would not let them off so easily and stepped closer, pressing, “Tell me, how much did you and your girlfriends spend on this trip to Binhai?”
From what Lin Yibai knew about them.
It was almost certain they had spent nothing, making her victory assured.
Yang Yueping’s expression changed dramatically, panicked, “You, how can you be so unreasonable?”
Lin Yibai smiled, “Now you know what being unreasonable is? You weren’t like this when you were forcing me. I just want to see your travel expenses, is that too hard?”
Yang Yueping looked constipated and stammered, “That, that’s our personal privacy. Why should you have access? You have no right to question.”
Lin Yibai scoffed, rebutting, “Now you know privacy belongs to individuals? Your privacy is privacy, but mine isn’t? How can you be so double-standard?”
Gradually, bystanders started to realize.
On one side stood the confident girl willing to prove herself; on the other side, they began to look left and right.
Who was right and who was wrong?
It was already apparent.
Seeing their ugly expressions, Lin Yibai pressed on, “You didn’t spend a single cent, did you?”
Yang Yueping refused to answer.
Her expression darkened even more.
Lin Yibai, relentless, taunted, “No way! Could there really be someone who goes on vacation without spending a penny?”
This was a direct slap in the face.
Now that everyone’s a girl, there’s no reason to tolerate them anymore!
Who would indulge their bad temper?
Yang Yueping got furious, her voice almost hysterical, “You’re talking nonsense, you’re slandering us. Where’s the evidence?”
Good question, just waiting for your retort.
Lin Yibai was now fond of the boomerang because it always flew back after being thrown, didn’t it?
Yang Yueping had once mentioned this rhetoric.
And used magic!!
Lin Yibai shot back, saying, “Evidence? Shouldn’t you be the one to bring it out and prove your innocence?”
Yang Yueping: “……”
Lin Yibai smiled slightly, “What’s wrong? I can bring evidence to prove my innocence, but you can’t bring yours out?”
Complete defeat, utterly defeated.
Whether it was a boomerang or a magic exchange.
Lin Yibai, confident in her status as a girl, remarked: I’ve given them a chance, but they’re useless!
The onlookers, called over by Yang Yueping to watch the spectacle, were now turning against her:
“The girl is right… Where’s the evidence? Just show proof to clear your name and everything will be fine!”
“Could it be that you really framed others?”
“I was still defending her before, didn’t expect her to be such a vicious woman who only spreads rumors.”
“Apologize!!”
“Right, an apology is a must.”
“Even if they apologize, are you really going to forgive them? Disgusting, truly disgusting.”
“……”
A bystander pointed their phone camera at them.
Yang Yueping immediately covered her face and began cursing venomously like a shrew.
Clearly, she had led this whole thing, and the bystander’s camera should be focused on that girl, and it’d be better to post it online to incite everyone to cyberbully her.
Now it seemed the tables were turning.
She cursed in a frenzy!
Without considering apologizing to resolve the issue, she emphasized, “Evidence… you have no evidence, do you? Be careful, I might sue you for slandering me… and those filming on their phones, if I see myself being cyberbullied online that makes me depressed, you all are the culprits.”
Now she wasn’t talking about proving her innocence anymore?
Now she knows that posting online leads to cyberbullying and depression; what was she doing earlier?
Xia Changyu watched it all unfold.
He had long held a grudge against Yang Yueping and felt he should do something.
Wasn’t Yang Yueping asking for evidence?
Then… he would give them the evidence they wanted. He took out his expense records and said, “What evidence are you talking about? As the person involved, I can prove that they came in my car, stayed at my hotel, and ate the meals I ordered.”
Uh-oh, how did he expose everything?
Now it was confirmed that they went on vacation without spending a dime.
Gu Xiaoxue’s expression also turned unpleasant.
As a roommate, a best friend.
Isn’t hitting Yang Yueping’s face like hitting her own?
However, she seemed to misunderstand one thing; it wasn’t Lin Yibai who was being aggressive.
Nor was it Xia Changyu who was turning against them!
Let’s be honest.
If only they had admitted their mistake and apologized.
Things wouldn’t have escalated to this point! Truly, not many boys would like to be entangled in this kind of matter!
Gu Xiaoxue began to feign sympathy, her tone trembling, “Xia Changyu, aren’t you being a bit too much? I’m your legitimate girlfriend. Let’s not even talk about why you were out all night and with other girls.”
Xia Changyu: “?”
Gu Xiaoxue wiped her tears and continued, “But Yueping and the others are my roommates, my best friends. Even considering my status as your girlfriend, isn’t what you’re doing now a bit too much?”
Nonsense, are you reversing right and wrong?
Do you want to throw a ‘boomerang’?
Then according to Gu Xiaoxue, are we supposed to reflect on our mistakes?
Xia Changyu was utterly disappointed, calmly stating, “Speaking of something being excessive, you and your girlfriends calling someone to beat me up—now that’s excessive! I spent last night making a statement at the police station because of the people you called to beat me up until midnight.”
“What about staying out all night!!”
“You all dared to call people to beat me up, would I even dare to go back?”
“You’re asking me why I’m with another girl?”
“What a good question!” The angrier Xia Changyu got, he snorted and said, “If it weren’t for her passing by and saving my life last night, I would have been beaten to the hospital by the people you called.”
“So, who’s really being excessive here?”
“Is it me, or is it you?”
“And what about being my girlfriend, my partner? With your behavior, ask yourself, do you even deserve it?”
“……”
“Let’s break up!”
What, the Stinky Rival in Love is breaking up?
