Chapter 1006
Give Me Some Face
After hearing what the girl said, the students realized that the person who had been standing with Xu Bo'an was Bai Susu's younger sister, and some of them returned to their seats and stopped watching the play.
But some people just love a good show, especially Li Meijia, who, upon hearing her classmate's words, suddenly felt like she had caught someone red-handed. She exclaimed, "Wow, we actually stumbled upon such a shocking thing! The two sisters have an ambiguous relationship with the same man!"
Li Meijia's words were, in essence, meant to stir up trouble, to humiliate Bai Susu in front of her classmates, and to make Bai Susu lose face.
As expected, when Li Meijia said this, some classmates who liked gossip exclaimed in surprise. Some said, "Indeed, the world is full of wonders. Just now, it seemed that the relationship between Xu Bo'an and Bai Susu was indeed a bit ambiguous!"
Another classmate said, "Yeah, yeah, I saw it too. Bai Susu's gaze towards Xu Bo'an was indeed a bit strange."
Because Bai Susu had only slightly tripped when she fell, and her ankle was only slightly swollen, it wasn't serious. Moreover, as a doctor herself, she knew that there was nothing seriously wrong with her foot, so she sat back down.
Originally, Bai Susu didn't intend to make a fuss about this matter, but now that she heard Li Meijia and several classmates say such hurtful things, the usually gentle and easy-going Bai Susu couldn't help but get angry. Moreover, Bai Susu knew in her heart that Li Meijia was the one who started this topic.
She looked at Li Meijia and said angrily, "Li Meijia, I've already asked my boyfriend about what happened. A little boy almost bumped into my sister, and my boyfriend happened to be there and pulled her to safety. What you're saying is completely over-interpreting and making trouble out of nothing. Even if you have a problem with me, you can't use such foul language! It's too much!"
Li Meijia looked at Bai Susu and said, "Excessive? I don't think so at all. The eyes of the masses are discerning. I wasn't the only one who saw what happened just now. It was just a little boy passing by. Your sister is already so old. Even if a little boy accidentally bumped into her, nothing would happen to her. Why would your boyfriend go to such lengths to protect her?"
Li Meijia's analysis is not without reason. If it were an ordinary woman like us, even if a little boy accidentally bumped into us, we wouldn't fall down or get hurt. This is common sense. After all, in the minds of ordinary people, no matter what, he is just a child. What harm could he possibly cause to us adults?
However, Xu Bo'an had keen observation skills. The reason he stepped in to protect Bai Shanshan was because he saw that the little boy was holding a small, metallic object. More importantly, the moment Xu Bo'an saw the boy approach Bai Shanshan, he noticed that the boy stretched out his hand, preparing to use that object against Bai Shanshan.
An ordinary person seeing this scene might think it was just a little boy being playful, holding only a small toy, and that Xu Bo'an was making a mountain out of a molehill. But only Xu Bo'an himself knew the danger Bai Susu had just faced. If he hadn't intervened to save her, Bai Susu would probably have been in serious trouble.
Like Bai Susu's classmates, they were unaware of the danger of the situation, and some even wanted to see Bai Susu make a fool of herself, so they deliberately escalated the situation for their own amusement. At this moment, Bai Susu was still unaware of the seriousness of the matter. After all, she had witnessed the ambiguous actions between Xu Bo'an and Bai Shanshan earlier, and deep down, she harbored resentment towards Bai Shanshan.
Furthermore, Bai Susu already harbored feelings for Xu Bo'an, and upon hearing these inappropriate comments from her classmates, she angrily retorted to Li Meijia, "You...you shouldn't spread rumors. That's my own sister; she would never do something as dirty as stealing my boyfriend. As the saying goes, 'If a person's heart is dirty, everything they see will be dirty.' Your viewpoint stems entirely from your own impure heart!"
Upon hearing Bai Susu's words, Li Meijia retorted, "Ha, your own sister? But just now I didn't see that your relationship was that close. Even if two sisters are close, they still fight over each other's boyfriends. Not to mention those who don't get along like you, there are even more of these kinds of things!"
At this moment, Su Lingyi, who was sitting to the side, chimed in, "Yes, yes, Meijia is right. I encountered something like this a while ago! Susu, you saw what happened with your own eyes. If that's really the case, even if you admit it, we won't laugh at you. We're all classmates, and we'll definitely stand up for you!"
After hearing what Su Lingyi and Li Meijia said, Bai Susu looked at them with a wry smile and said, "Li Meijia, Su Lingyi, stop pretending to be good people! You're clearly just trying to humiliate me with this. Don't think I don't know what you two are up to. Even if what you're saying isn't true, I'd be grateful if you didn't add fuel to the fire. And you're going to stand up for me? Stop pretending!"
Su Lingyi said those things just now to make Gu Mingchuan hear them, in order to show that she is a kind-hearted girl.
Hearing Bai Susu say that, Su Lingyi pretended to be aggrieved and looked at Gu Mingchuan beside her, saying, "Mingchuan, look at her. I just wanted to help her. Why did she treat me like that? She's so wronged!"
Gu Mingchuan had Su Lingyi pretend to be his girlfriend today simply to see Bai Susu's reaction and provoke her. As for what happened to Su Lingyi, Gu Mingchuan didn't care.
From the moment he entered the private room, Gu Mingchuan knew that Su Lingyi, Li Meijia, and Shen Ruoyao had been targeting Bai Susu. He had long been fed up with it. Now, when he heard Su Lingyi hypocritically asking him a question, Gu Mingchuan didn't even look at her and said in a very cold tone, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
Although Su Lingyi liked Gu Mingchuan very much, he said it in front of everyone, which made her feel embarrassed. Even so, she didn't retort. Instead, she reached out and took his arm, saying, "Mingchuan, although I know you're naturally a bit cold, we're already boyfriend and girlfriend. You have to give me some face, right?"
