The police officer, contemplating this, advised Jiang Yue, “Miss, there might be some misunderstandings here. This lady doesn’t seem like someone who would do something like that.”
Jiang Yue grew even more furious when she heard the police officer’s persuasion. She couldn’t understand why Gu Dai wouldn’t be suspected, and had she not been merely putting on an act and not wanting to actually die, she might have jumped out of sheer anger.
Jiang Yue angrily said to the officer, “Why do you assume she’s not involved? You don’t know the specifics, so don’t make baseless comments!”
The people below, overhearing Jiang Yue’s words, started discussing loudly.
“Oh my God, how can there be such shameless women? The couple was already engaged, and she still intervened.”
“That police officer doesn’t seem very professional. The lady already said she’s a mistress, and he’s still doubtful. If there wasn’t an affair, why would she be desperate enough to jump off a building?”
“I agree.”
The media reporters who were hidden among the crowd had the lips curled into a smile as they eagerly capturing everything.
Regrettably, from their angle, they could only capture Jiang Yue on the rooftop and not the other “mistress” involved.
However, they anticipated the sensational impact of the story once it hit the internet, regardless of whether the other party was photographed.
On the rooftop, Gu Dai remained calm, addressing Jiang Yue, “I don’t understand how your brain works. Do you have amnesia? As I recall, your wedding with Song Ling was called off because of your infidelity, with images of you entangled with another man displayed on a large screen.”
Jiang Yue was startled, having not forgotten this but not expecting Gu Dai to bring it up here.
Gu Dai continued, “If you’ve forgotten, that’s fine. I can have the video from that day brought up for everyone to see.”
Jiang Yue’s face paled slightly in fright. Glancing down at the people below and the subtle change in the police officers’ expressions, she spoke anxiously, “You’re just slandering me. Besides, I’ve saved him before. Even if I’ve done something wrong to him, he would forgive me. If he changes his mind, it’s definitely because you’ve meddled in our relationship.”
Gu Dai had heard numerous times about Jiang Yue saving Song Ling and was curious about the details, wondering how she could turn Song Ling into a lovesick fool.
She also couldn’t help but think that Song Ling must be quite weak to need so many people to save him.
After watching for a while and confirming that Jiang Yue had no real intention of jumping and that the police had taken precautions below, Gu Dai decided to leave, already planning which lawyer to send for the defamation lawsuit against Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue, mistaking Gu Dai’s silence for fear, and thinking she had the upper hand, again spoke, “Like you, whose parents died and had no one to guide you. Maybe that’s how they taught you, and that’s why you interfere in other’s relationships… Ah—”
Gu Dai, initially planning to leave and temporarily let Jiang Yue off, was provoked by the mention of her parents and their alleged teachings.
She kicked Jiang Yue, pulling her back from the edge of the rooftop at the last moment, throwing her to the ground, and grabbing her collar. She spoke in a low, measured tone, “How dare you to slander my parents, now be prepared to face the consequences!”
Gu Dai slapped Jiang Yue repeatedly, not stopping even as her face swelled.
The police, seeing enough, moved to intervene.
Before they could, a man quickly approached, enveloping Gu Dai in an embrace, softly saying, “Sis, take a rest. Your hands will hurt if you keep hitting.”
Hearing Su Ting’s voice, the murderous intent in Gu Dai’s eyes slowly faded, and she regained her composure, replying, “Okay.”
Jiang Yue, relieved after Gu Dai left, began to feel the pain on her body, tears and snot mixing on her face.
Song Ling, arriving at the scene, saw Su Ting and Gu Dai embracing, his anxious expression instantly disappearing, replaced by a gloomy, heavy look..
