Yan Yufei was silenced by Qiaoxu’s words, stopping her complaints.
Qiaoxu’s attitude was like punching cotton. Yan Yufei wanted to argue with her, but couldn’t.
Yan Yufei pursed her lips, and after a long ti, she forced a sentence out, "You...you misunderstood and President Lu..."
"No, I didn’t misunderstand."
Qiaoxu interrupted her, her face still showing an unfazed deanor.
Yan Yufei thought that Qiaoxu would say there was a complication between her and Lu Moqing, so she could use it to her advantage.
But, instead, she heard Qiaoxu say:
"Our President Lu didn’t give you extra attention or a good face. Where do you get the confidence to think I’d target you for sothing that never happened?"
Yan Yufei’s face turned white with Qiaoxu’s retort. A normal person would have learned from Lu Moqing’s previous lesson and let it go.
After all, if she continued talking, she would be the one losing face.
However, Yan Yufei persisted in trying to pin these ridiculous accusations on Qiaoxu’s face.
"Of course you’d say that now. How else would you explain wanting to smash my inkstone?"
Although the things Qiaoxu said sounded like blatant lies, they still raised suspicions.
Qiaoxu’s necklace being there didn’t necessarily prove she had been there, and nobody witnessed her smashing the inkstone. Even if they wanted to accuse her, they couldn’t.
In the law, it’s still innocent until proven guilty, with both human and physical evidence.
Moreover, Qiaoxu had neither motive nor witnesses. Her only physical evidence could be easily refuted.
But people relied on their first impressions. Given the necklace, though it couldn’t directly accuse her, it could cause trouble for her.
That’s all Yan Yufei wanted.
"Alright, alright. Is it necessary? You can buy ten for 100 yuan at a small workshop on the street. Although they’re not valuable, they can still be used. If it’s broken, just buy another one. Why make trouble on this important day of the old man? Don’t you think it’s too low?"
At this mont, an impatient voice, filled with disdain, broke the tense atmosphere between the two.
Ten for 100 yuan?
Yan Yufei was amused and angered by the comnt, shifting her gaze toward the speaker.
It was a very young face, at most twenty-sothing years old, wearing gold-rimd glasses and dressing as if deliberately trying to appear mature.
He wore a dark Tang suit, holding a folding fan in his hand on a cold day, fanning himself from ti to ti.
The delicate and handso features, combined with a bit of arrogance.
Yan Yufei didn’t know him and thought, with his young age and pretentious air, he must be so petty character. So she sneered:
"It’s okay to be ignorant, but why say it out loud and embarrass yourself? In front of so many professors, aren’t you ashad?"
At her words, many people around looked at Yan Yufei with puzzled gazes as if they had just heard an earth-shattering joke.
However, Yan Yufei was too preoccupied with trying to use the situation to her advantage and didn’t notice the strange looks from everyone.
Even Yan Xu’s face changed upon hearing his daughter’s words.
The young man who had just spoken didn’t get angry. He gently waved the folding fan in his hand and smiled silently.
However, those who knew him could tell he was angry.
