Everyone was startled, their gazes converging on Li Qian as one female classmate quickly blurted out, "Li Qian, what do you mean by that?"
Li Qian chuckled, her voice still indifferent, "It seems you all really don’t know. Recently, Senior Brother Shi’s scandal has been buzzing. Have none of you seen it?"
Immediately, the atmosphere tensed up, and for a moment, no one spoke. After all, how could they not have seen such gossip?
Li Qian observed their expressions and snorted softly before smugly curling her lips.
However, the classmate who had just praised Chuxia for her righteousness spoke up again, "This... this kind of entertainment news, it’s mostly sensationalized. We’ve all seen how Senior Brother Shi treats Xiaoxia, right?"
Before the classmate could finish, Li Qian let out a cold laugh without any courtesy. She looked at the classmate with ice in her gaze, "Rumors don’t arise from nothing. If there were no such thing, how could the reporters capture it? You said Senior Brother Shi treats Xiaoxia well, but how long ago was that? Moreover, you all know very well that Senior Brother Shi originally liked Ling Yunshu. Even if he treated Chuxia well for Ling Yunshu’s sake, how can a man continuously be kind to a woman he doesn’t like?"
Li Qian’s earlier remarks could have been refuted, but this statement truly left no room for rebuttal. Indeed, everyone was old classmates and knew each other very well; the past was clear to all.
The classmate, choked by Li Qian, was visibly upset and wanted to say something but didn’t know how.
Li Qian, more triumphant than ever, held her head high, looked down on everyone, and slowly said, "You are all fools. That woman, Chuxia, is the best at acting. She always pretended to be nice and kind, and in the end, she quietly stole her elder sister’s husband. You don’t know how horrible that woman is, yet you all speak for her. It’s really laughable."
Another classmate, who always flattered Li Qian, chimed in following Li Qian’s lead, "Exactly, who can’t pretend to be loving? Li Qian, didn’t you say Chuxia would come today? It’s about time, and she hasn’t shown up. Could it be that she’s afraid we’ll expose her and thus didn’t dare to come?"
Li Qian felt validated by these words, her beautifully made-up face looking somewhat sinister as she slowly caressed the diamond ring on her finger, lazily saying, "Probably. I asked her to bring Senior Brother Shi along today. But I guess she couldn’t invite him. Being by herself, she might fear losing face, so she might not dare to come. Well, it’s better she doesn’t come. After all, we are old classmates, and I wouldn’t want her to be too embarrassed~"
