Yuan Jiaojiao ran out of the cafeteria crying. When she thought about how Tang Beibei had humiliated her, she was so angry and swore that she would teach Tang Beibei a lesson someday, and make her kneel and beg for mercy.

“Yuan Jiaojiao, do you hate Tang Beibei?” A woman walked up to her and asked.

Yuan Jiaojiao turned around and saw a strange woman. She frowned and asked, “I don’t know you. Who are you?”

“Me? I’m Tang Beibei’s relative but I hate her!”

“Why do you hate her?”

The woman sneered, “Because she’s a promiscuous and shameless woman. She’s already married, but she still seduced Lu Fan!”

Yuan Jiaojiao looked at the woman in surprise. “Tang Beibei is married? Isn’t she Lu Fan’s girlfriend?”

“Nope. She stole my sister’s man and married him. That’s why I said she has no sense of shame. She seduced other men even when she’s married. She’s also a bully.”

“She stole your sister’s man, and now she’s Lu Fan’s girlfriend. That is outrageous. What a b*tch that Tang Beibei!”

Yuan Jiaojiao clenched her fists; she wanted to crush Tang Beibei’s face.

She hated Tang Beibei after reading just a few news articles about her on the internet. Now that Yuan Jiaojiao heard it from her relative, she truly believed that Tang Beibei was a horrible person!

“What’s your name? Can you tell me more about Tang Beibei?”

Rong Chan’er nodded. “Of course. I’m Rong Chan’er and I’m Tang Beibei’s cousin. Don’t tell anyone that I’m the one who told you.”

“Lu Fan is so obsessed with Tang Beibei that he doesn’t even listen to his own cousin, Lu Linlin. He only listens to Tang Beibei. It’s obvious that Tang Beibei is very capable. If we act rashly, we’ll alert her.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already suffered once. I won’t suffer a second time. I will never let Tang Beibei have an easy time!”

Yuan Jiaojiao stopped crying and was full of fighting spirit. She must make Tang Beibei regret what she had said and done today!

Rong Chan’er’s eyes were scheming as she saw how easy it was to win over this woman. She was even easier to fool than Lu Linlin.

Last time when she used Lu Linlin to embarrass Tang Beibei, she didn’t expect Lu Fan and Song Kai to appear. She even got herself into trouble, and left Lu Fan with a bad impression of her.

But she would never let Tang Beibei have Lu Fan. Even if she couldn’t have Lu Fan in future, she would never let Tang Beibei be the woman standing next to him!

…

Tang Beibei was very annoyed after the incident at the cafeteria.

Although Lu Fan and Song Kai stood up for her, she couldn’t accept being wronged and insulted in front of so many people.

She found Ruan Qi, and the two of them sat on the school field and chatted.

“Even senior Lu Fan acknowledged you as his girlfriend. How awe-inspiring!”

Tang Beibei rolled her eyes at Ruan Qi. “It’s all fake. Senior Song Kai explained to me that he said that to stop the rumors. He was afraid that the teachers would have a bad impression of me, and my scholarship would be jeopardized.”

Ruan Qi didn’t believe such an explanation. Senior Song Kai was such a smart person. He could definitely tell that Lu Fan had feelings for Tang Beibei. He probably said that to bring them together.

She also felt that Tang Beibei’s future would be bleak if she stayed with her disabled husband. She also wanted Tang Beibei to consider Lu Fan.

Lu Fan’s temperament, education and family background were all excellent. More importantly, Lu Fan liked Tang Beibei.

Ruan Qi persuaded Tang Beibei, “Since the two seniors are trying to help you, don’t rush to clear your name. Wait until you secure your scholarship before you announce your breakup with Lu Fan.”

Tang Beibei frowned. “I’m just worried that I’ll bring trouble to Lu Fan. Besides, I’m married. It’s not good to pretend that Lu Fan and I are a couple.”

Ruan Qi said, “Your husband is cooped up at home every day as a recuperating patient. He won’t find out if you don’t tell him. Beibei, sometimes you think too straight. You need to think more flexibly.”

Tang Beibei couldn’t think of a better solution right away. She only hated the person who started the rumors more.

“Who started these rumors about me? I hate them!”

Ruan Qi also felt disgusted with the rumors. More importantly, they tarnished Tang Beibei’s reputation.

“I’ll help you find out. If we fail, we can ask senior Lu Fan for help. His connections and resources are definitely better than ours!”

Tang Beibei nodded. She also wanted to find out herself. If she asked Lu Fan for help and owed him a favor, she would have to spend money to repay him with meals or bubble tea.

She investigated the account that was used to post the rumor only to find out that it had been deleted.

As for the post, she couldn’t find any other clue apart from the account that was used to post it.

It was so frustrating!

Because of this, Tang Beibei was in a bad mood all afternoon. She also didn’t have much of an appetite when she returned to the villa for dinner.

Jiang Jingchen noticed that she wasn’t picking up food. She was just staring at the rice in her bowl and didn’t eat much.

“Beibei?”

“Yes?” Tang Beibei raised her head in confusion. “What’s up?”

“Get some food.”

“Okay.” Tang Beibei picked up some food for him but Jiang Jingchen shook his head. “Get some food for yourself. Beibei, did something bad happen?”

Tang Beibei sighed. She still felt a little disgusted when she thought about how Yuan Jiaojiao had spat into her bowl.

“No, I’m just thinking about my homework.”

Tang Beibei thought she shouldn’t burden her sick husband with her troubles as he was already suffering as a patient recuperating at home.

“Beibei, what kind of homework?”

Jiang Jingchen stared straight into her eyes, but she avoided his gaze. She was lying.

He also knew that her studies were good and she did well in her exams, so thinking about her homework was just an excuse.

“It’s nothing. Hubby, I’ll get you some food.” She was trying to divert his attention.

Jiang Jingchen’s eyes were deep as he probed, “Beibei, although I’m sick, I’m a bit older than you, and I’ve experienced more things and met more people than you. If you tell me your troubles, you’ll lighten your burden by half.”

Tang Beibei put down her bowl and chopsticks, lowered her head and thought for a while.

“I didn’t do anything, but some people are belittling me with mean words. I don’t understand. Do they feel happy just because they hurt others?”

She couldn’t hold back her emotions when she said that. Her eyes burned and tears rolled down her cheeks.

She didn’t even know Yuan Jiaojiao, yet she scolded her like that. Was it because she had a meal with Lu Fan?

Lu Fan was her senior. Was it a crime to interact with him over a simple meal?

Jiang Jingchen frowned when he saw her tears. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, pulled her next to him and wiped her tears.

“When their parents gave birth to them, they only gave them half a brain and ate the other half. These people are jealous of you because you have both your left and right brain.”

“As a person with both wisdom and beauty, why bother with those morons?”

Tang Beibei was very sad at first, but when she heard what he said, she smiled.

“Why are you complimenting me all of a sudden? I’m not beautiful.”

She sniffled and quickly wiped her snot with a tissue, but her tears didn’t stop.

Jiang Jingchen lifted her face and made her look at him. He then pointed at her eyes and said, “Your eyes can see all the colors of the world, your nose can smell hundreds and thousands of smells, and your mouth can taste the most delicious food.”

“My dear wife, you have so many good things. Don’t waste your senses on those people with abnormal brains.”

Tang Beibei stared at him in a daze. His voice was very soft but sounded very pleasant.

The man then pointed at her lips and said a little bewitchingly, “If you’re sad or upset, you can kiss me to boost your immunity. Try it if you don’t believe me.”

Tang Beibei chuckled. This man was trying to trick her into kissing him!

“I’m in a much better mood now. No…. Mmmm.”

The man told her, “If Beibei is shy, let me do the work and boost your immunity!”
