Everyone could hear she was insulting someone, but the insults were so subtle they didn’t react right away.
Qin Zhen "kindly" offered to translate, "She’s saying you’re all dumb, can’t you understand that? With the little intelligence you have, you still rush to defend others, each of you fancying yourselves as paragons of justice, being used as pawns and even eagerly pushing forward, really seeing yourselves as saints?"
Instinctively, the crowd turned their heads to look at Xu Chenxi, "Xiao Xi, is what she said true? Do you like Senior Brother Jiang? But aren’t you siblings?"
Xu Chenxi’s face turned pale, and her hand hanging at her side tightened unconsciously. Then she looked up, a slight frown between her brows and with an "I am wronged" expression she said, "Sister Yiyi, could there be some misunderstanding between my brother and me?"
Shen Weiyi, "Is there anything between you two that I could possibly misunderstand?"
"I..." Xu Chenxi choked up a bit but quickly found her voice again, "I just think there might be some misunderstanding between us, so I wanted to explain it clearly to Sister Yiyi."
Shen Weiyi, "Explain what? Explain that you don’t like Jiang Zhiyi? Explain that you didn’t intentionally enter his room while he was showering, or explain that you didn’t secretly wear his watch and post it on your moments, deliberately blocking him from seeing it?"
The way people looked at Xu Chenxi gradually changed.
Xu Chenxi bit her lower lip, "Sister Yiyi, you really misunderstand me. That day I just went to my brother’s room to give him something, and I happened to see his watch on the desk, thought it looked nice, and just tried it on. As for taking a picture and posting it on moments, I simply wanted to share with everyone, I didn’t realize Sister Yiyi would mind so much."
Qin Zhen clicked his tongue and said, "A girl sneaks into a boy’s room late at night, and you call that a misunderstanding? That indeed is quite easy to be misunderstood, isn’t it?"
The way people looked at Xu Chenxi was getting worse.
Xu Chenxi’s cheeks burned with embarrassment.
However, the girls who came with her were still speaking up for her:
"Aren’t your words a bit harsh?"
"Exactly, I sometimes go into my brother’s room too, there’s nothing wrong with that, right?"
"She’s already explained it to you, why can’t you let it go? Clearly, it’s you who’s petty, yet you’re splashing dirt on others."
Shen Weiyi paid no attention to the others, only looking at Xu Chenxi, "Whether my words are unpleasant or you are harboring impure thoughts, you know best. I only know that even real siblings know to avoid suspicion, let alone, you two aren’t even related by blood."
"Besides, you don’t need to explain so much to me. We’ve already broken up. Whether you like him or want to be with him, that’s a matter between you two and has nothing to do with me."
Xu Chenxi, with flushed eyes, looked at her. Since her true feelings were exposed in front of so many people, she might as well stop hiding, "You said it yourself, he and I aren’t blood-related siblings, so even if I do like him it’s not such a big deal. As for you, since you’ve broken up, shouldn’t you keep your distance? Clinging to him makes it difficult for everyone."
"Then let me reiterate, I am not clinging to him, and as for the rumors, I believe you know much better than I do what’s going on."
"I don’t understand what you mean," Xu Chenxi said, clenching her hands.
"Hey, girl, I find it interesting that you like someone else’s boyfriend and still think you’re quite justified?" Qin Zhen at this point couldn’t help but admire the other party a bit; she had tactics, was scheming, and was especially good at pretending.
She’s really got some nerve!
