Zhang Yue furrowed her brows and said, “What are you talking about? Everything I did was for you.”

Wen Miao, feeling perplexed, said, “I understand that you may need time to accept what happened that night, but have you considered my feelings in all this?”

Taking a step forward, Zhang Yue sighed and said, “Miaomiao, you’ve always been my best friend.”

“Same here.” Wen Miao held her hands, a hopeful gleam in her eyes. “Don’t scare me like this. Tell me, why did that video appear on the forum? Do you know anything about it?”

Zhang Yue, looking puzzled, furrowed her brow. “What video?”

Upon hearing this, Wen Miao didn’t feel relieved. Instead, her expression gradually turned cold.

She released Zhang Yue’s hands, took a deep breath, and said, “Do you have to be like this?”

Zhang Yue’s brows relaxed and her face turned pale. “Miaomiao, 1 should be the one asking you that, right?”

“Asking me?” Seeing that she was about to relent, Wen Miao hurriedly asked, “What exactly happened to make us like this? Can you tell me directly?”

“I…” Just as Zhang Yue was about to say something, the school bell rang at this moment, instantly spreading throughout the entire school.

With a complicated look, she shook her head and said, “Forget it, let’s go back to class. If we’re late, the teacher will worry about you.”

Throughout the rest of the day, Zhang Yue didn’t give Wen Miao and herself a chance to talk privately.

She showcased her unique care for Wen Miao in front of others, always seeking places with more people, making everyone believe that the rumors on Wen

Miao were true.

But this wasn’t the worst part. Wen Miao realized on her way home that evening that even their neighbors near their house knew about the matter. Many people stopped her, bombarding her with questions. The voices that had pointed fingers at Zhang Yue earlier were now repeating their words, directed at Wen Miao.

“Miaomiao!” When Wen Long came back from buying groceries, he saw his sister surrounded by people and was at a loss. He quickly came over to help her. “What happened?”

It seemed that Wen Long still did not know what had happened today.

Seeing her cry, Wen Long immediately pulled her into his arms with heartache. “Be good. Who bullied you? Tell me. I’ll help you teach him a lesson!”

“Oh my, your sister encountered such a thing, and you, as her brother, know nothing about it?” a well-meaning aunt reminded him. “Hurry up and let the police catch those hooligans. Miaomiao is such a good girl; she can’t be ruined like this!”

Wen Long thought they were talking about the incident where his sister was beaten that night. His expression softened, and he nodded, saying, “Auntie, so you all know about this. My sister didn’t want me to report it to the police that night.”

“Brother! Don’t say that!” Wen Miao almost couldn’t stop him in time.

Wen Long didn’t know the situation at all, and his words would only make things worse.

As expected, right after he spoke, others showed expressions of condemnation and disapproval. They pulled Wen Miao, continually saying, “You, girl, although it’s embarrassing for such a thing to be spread, you must report it to the police. Now that everyone knows about this, if you delay, it might be too late!”

After saying this, the well-meaning aunt glanced thoughtfully at Wen Miao’s belly.

Wen Miao almost collapsed on the spot, feeling intensely wronged, her eyes turning red from the built-up frustration. “Things are not as you imagine!” “Even your brother said so. Can this thing be fake?” The onlookers seemed to be enjoying the show. “Don’t be too embarrassed. When you go to a good university in the future, leave this behind. You can still find a rich boyfriend to make your parents happy!”

Wen Long, still in a daze, listened to their endless advice. Before he could understand the situation, he saw Wen Miao already crying and running into the house.

Wen Long quickly went to chase her, thanking the well-meaning aunt on the way.

Inside the room, he raised his hand to gently pat his sister’s shoulders, which were trembling due to sobbing. “What happened to you? The aunties didn’t say anything wrong. This matter should indeed be reported to the police. You didn’t listen to me that night!”

“What do you know?” Wen Miao couldn’t help but snap at him.

She had some room to explain the situation earlier, but after Wen Long admitted it just now, if she revealed the truth, others would think she was intentionally covering it up!

She didn’t think that a girl would become dirty just because she was bullied, but the rumor that hadn’t happened to her was now spreading. It was difficult for her to express her feelings.

She didn’t understand how things had turned into this overnight, but the only thing she was clear about was that all the recent changes were definitely related to Zhang Yue.

She believed her good friend wouldn’t intentionally shift the blame onto her.. She suspected that Zhang Tan had used some means to force Zhang Yue to submit!
