Chapter 198: What Evidence Do You Have?
Chapter 198 What Evidence Do You Have
Jiang Mengyu raised her head and looked at Jiang Huaiyu: "It’s true that I haven’t been reunited with my mother for long, but my fiancé is my savior.
I was sold by my foster parents into the deep mountains to be a shared wife for a pair of brothers. I flatly refused and jumped off a cliff during the journey into the mountains, only to be rescued by a man named Gu Dongxing.
Because I didn’t want to return to the Jiang Family and be sold again, I stayed in my savior’s house, nursing my injuries for a month, after which my mother found me. After reuniting with her, she said that such a debt of gratitude must be repaid with a lifelong commitment, so we got engaged."
Jiang Mengyu said this and looked at an increasingly frustrated Jiang Huaiyu.
"This is why I had just reunited with my mother when she arranged my engagement, Jiang Huaiyu, are you satisfied with my answer?"
The classmates listening to Jiang Mengyu’s explanation were nodding frequently: A life-saving grace repaid with a lifelong commitment, this only proved that classmate Jiang Mengyu was someone who knew gratitude and repaid kindness.
Yet Wu Jiangsheng, listening in, was clutching at his wrist and sighing. Why didn’t he know about Jiang Mengyu being abducted? Why wasn’t it he who saved Jiang Mengyu?
If I had been the one to save Jiang Mengyu, then I would have been the one she repays with a lifelong commitment.
In the crowd, Shen Qi also sighed deeply, thinking the same thing as Wu Jiang: Why wasn’t it me who saved Jiang Mengyu?
But Jiang Huaiyu obviously didn’t think so: "You’re talking nonsense, who do you think you are? Just because you claim there is a lifesaving grace that needs to be repaid, does it mean he has to accept you?
The man is a factory director, how could he possibly take a fancy to you? And to get engaged?
Besides, isn’t every factory director in their thirties or forties? If he’s in his thirties or forties and still not married, then, is there something wrong with him?"
It was then that everyone reacted, seemingly thinking that Jiang Huaiyu had a point.
Jiang Mengyu really wanted to roll her eyes: "How would I know why he took a liking to me, or why he agreed to my mother’s proposal and got engaged to me?"
"You, do you have any evidence that you two are engaged?"
Jiang Mengyu sneered: "Do you have any evidence that Wu Jiangsheng and I are in a secretive relationship? Did you find love letters from me, or did you catch us in an intimate moment and take a photo?"
Huaiyu was choked up.
Even though the whole school knew that Wu Jiangsheng had a crush on Jiang Mengyu, he never confessed, much less could there be any love letters.
Jiang Huaiyu proudly stated: "You two were meeting by the pond before last night’s self-study session, and I saw it. I even took a photo."
Jiang Mengyu sneered: "A meeting? It was just yesterday at noon when you treated three female classmates to a meal, where they talked about spreading rumors about me. Wu Jiangsheng caught you in the act, and he made all four of you write a letter of self-criticism. During dinner queue last evening, Wu Jiangsheng gave me the four letters of self-criticism."
The classmates all knew that the whole school had been spreading rumors about Jiang Mengyu a few days before, but they never thought that the rumors were concocted by Huaiyu.
Hearing Jiang Mengyu publicly reveal her involvement in the rumor-mongering, Huaiyu quickly retorted, "Wu Jiangsheng forced us to write those; they’re not true at all."
Wu Jiangsheng glared with wide eyes: "Would you have written them if I hadn’t pressured you? But I personally heard Xiao Hua questioning you about whether the news you asked them to spread about Jiang Mengyu was true or false.
This clearly shows that all those rumors were fabricated by you, Jiang Huaiyu, and then disseminated by Wang Ya, Xiao Hua, and Lin Yuying.
It was you who willfully fabricated rumors, and the three of them spread them upon your command. What’s wrong with making you write a letter of self-criticism?"
Jiang Huaiyu strenuously denied: "You’re the one spreading rumors. Who can prove that we said those things? You’re just one person, and besides, you’ve always had a crush on Jiang Mengyu, so your words can’t be taken as evidence."
