Chuxia looked at the phone Li Qian pushed towards her, her hand unconsciously clenched, yet she made no move.
Li Qian eyed Chuxia from the side, her eyes slightly lowered, unable to clearly see her expression, but she distinctly felt a hint of hesitation in her, snorting coldly in response.
If Shi Che’s tabloid gossip wasn’t enough to prove that their relationship had changed, then Chuxia coming alone to the class reunion today had confirmed for her, without a doubt, that there was definitely a problem between Shi Che and Chuxia.
Right, after all, Chuxia is just Chuxia, she could never be Yun Shu, how could Shi Che possibly like Chuxia?
Regardless of whether it was Chuxia or Yun Shu, she despised them both. Today, she was ready to trash her own reputation if it meant getting years of pent-up revenge.
Seeing that Chuxia remained unresponsive, a provocative look crossed Li Qian’s eyes as she spoke with thick sarcasm, "Aren’t you going to call? Don’t let me guess right, you’re just too scared to call~"
Li Qian raised her voice deliberately, causing the previously boisterous men who were singing to stop their howling and look over.
The lively clamor of the private room suddenly quieted down, making the air feel oppressively tense.
Li Qian’s non-stop chatter spared no effort to trample on Chuxia at every opportunity, her words growing more acerbic, "Chuxia, it seems you really are too scared~ You could have just said so. We are all classmates here, I wouldn’t force you. I’m just worried about you, I don’t want you swallowing any grievances. Men, after all, are fickle by nature, and when it’s someone as outstanding as Senior Brother Shi, right?"
With those words, people’s gazes towards Chuxia slowly changed. Despite Li Qian’s spit-flying tirade previously, those had been baseless accusations with no evidence. But now, needing Chuxia to just make a phone call to her own husband, and her not daring to do so, painted a different picture entirely.
If she couldn’t even make a phone call, how strained must their relationship be?
Chuxia had also thought of these implications, thus she had no choice but to make the call. If she didn’t, it would confirm Li Qian’s accusations that her relationship with Shi Che was broken, and by tomorrow... no, perhaps even tonight, it would be known throughout the entire circle, including by Mrs. Shi.
Chuxia’s grip on the phone tightened, pressing the square device painfully into her hand.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, yet she clenched her hand tighter.
She could make the call, but... her relationship with Shi Che was indeed terrible, and Che’s disdain for her was never hidden. If she were to call and Shi Che sounded disgusted or annoyed, it would only make her more humiliated than now.
