âMu Xiaoxiao! You lied to me!â Yin Shaojie said in a chilly voice as he stared at Mu Xiaoxiao in anger.
âJie, hear me out. It wasnât intentional. Iâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao panicked. She didnât know how she could explain herself. The evidence was there. Whatever she said would be a lie.
Yin Shaojie quickly walked up to the noticeboard and tore down the photo. He shredded the photo into pieces, turned around, and threw them onto Mu Xiaoxiao.
He didnât say a word as he glared at Mu Xiaoxiao, his chest rising and falling as if he was containing his rage.
For the first time, Mu Xiaoxiao experienced first hand what it meant to say âthe truth always comes out. There is no concealing the truth.â She had just never imagined that this would be how she would be exposed.
Someone wanted to harm her and incite a fight between her and Yin Shaojie.
They succeeded.
Yin Shaojie scoffed, âTell me. I want to see what kind of excuses you can come up with this time to fool me. Why arenât you speaking? Tell me!â
Mu Xiaoxiao was started by his strict, loud voice, and she winced, her face in a grimace as if she was about to cry.
Yin Shaojie raised his head with his fists clenched tightly, and he suddenly kicked the rubbish bin at the side to the ground.
âNo crying!â Youâre hoping that I will go soft on you? Mu Xiaoxiao, I am realizing, for the first time, that you are really cunning. If you donât want to explain, then donât ever speak about it!â
With that said, he kept an impassive face as he turned around and left.
âYin Shaojie!â Mu Xiaoxiao frantically called him as she chased up to him, hoping to explain and apologize. However, Yu Zhe held her back.
Yu Zhe said worryingly, âXiaoxiao, donât go! Things can only go wrong if you go to him now when Young Master Jie is so infuriated. Let him calm down and explain it to him later.â
âButâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao was anxious, and tears were seeping through the corner of her eyes.
âItâs useless if you go to him now. Young Master Jie wonât be able to hear what you have to say. Whatâs more, the evidence was laid bare. How are you going to explain that to him?â
âIâ¦â
Mu Xiaoxiao was at a loss. How should she explain it to Yin Shaojie?
The concern was no longer about her relationship with Lu Yichen but that she had lied to Yin Shaojie.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She wondered. Was he angry because of this?
However, she still couldnât understand why he was so angry over just a little lie.
Mu Xiaoxiao even felt a bit wronged. She could have apologized, and he didnât have to be so angry as if she had really made him a cuckold.
At this moment, the bell rang, and Yu Zhe said, âOkay, letâs get back to class first. Then, you can look for Young Master Jie again after school to explain yourself.â
Mu Xiaoxiao was very confused and couldnât think of any solutions. Thus, she just went along with Yu Zheâs advice.
However, she was still lost in thought during the lesson.
The English teacher suddenly called her up to read a paragraph of the text. She wasnât even paying attention and confused her lines.
âWhat are you reading? What a mess! Mu Xiaoxiao, donât get conceited just because you studied in America. You have much more to learn. Sit down and pay attention, okay?â
English teacher was mocking her slightly. He was delighted as he had finally gotten his revenge on her.
In the past, Mu Xiaoxiao would not have stood for such humiliation.
But now, she could only think about how she was going to explain herself to Yin Shaojie, and she didnât even realize how the English teacher was treating her.
