After they saw that this person was crying so miserably and after they heard his words, the discussions became louder. “Could Chen Baiyi really be a jinx?!”

“All the people who were engaged to her are dead. There were a total of three people. It’s okay if it happened once or twice, but if it’s the same for the third time, isn’t that a little ridiculous? Other than her being a jinx, what other explanation is there?”

“Is it possible that if we get close to her, we will also become unlucky…” Someone raised this doubt. When everyone heard this, they immediately took a step back in unison. They were afraid that if they got too close to Chen Baiyi, they would become unlucky.

Seeing everyone’s actions, Chen Baiyi heaved a sigh. She didn’t want to bear this accusation anymore. Chen Baiyi took this opportunity to resolve this matter and said to everyone solemnly, “I will give everyone an explanation for this matter. However, I’m not a jinx. Someone deliberately spread the news that I’m a jinx. If you guys don’t believe me, you guys can wait here. I’ll find someone.”

When they saw that Chen Baiyi was very serious, everyone’s disdain towards her slowly faded. When they heard her say that someone had done it on purpose, although they still had doubts, they felt a little guilty. The discussion slowly stopped and everyone looked at each other. No one knew who Chen Baiyi was looking for. After a while, Chen Baiyi brought Dog Two over.

When everyone saw that it was Dog Two, they shouted, “Dog Two, you have to clarify things. This is no small matter.”

“Tell us what you know.”

Dog Two glanced at Chen Baiyi. When he came, Chen Baiyi had already told him about the situation here. Seeing her ugly expression, he thought of her threat last time and chose to tell the truth.

“It… It was Chen Xiyue who asked me to do it. She asked me to spread the news that Chen Baiyi was a jinx.”

“Dog Two, don’t talk nonsense. You have to take responsibility for your own actions. Don’t drag a girl down with you.”

“I’m not lying. It’s true. She gave me five yuan to do it.” Seeing that someone was questioning him, Dog Two panicked and immediately argued with him.

Seeing that he sounded serious, everyone believed him. When Chen Xiyue, who was hiding in the crowd, heard that Dog Two had actually betrayed her, she wanted to run away. However, she was stopped by the person beside her. “Hey, Chen Xiyue is here.”

Seeing that Chen Xinyue was here, everyone asked, “Chen Xiyue, is what Dog Two said true?”

Chen Xinyue definitely wouldn’t admit it. She thought of a countermeasure. She said firmly, “There was no such thing!” Then, she changed her tone and pointed at Dog Two. She said aggrievedly, “Dog Two wanted to pursue me. I didn’t agree, so he deliberately framed me.”

“Nonsense. You were the one who asked me to do it…” Dog Two panicked. Chen Xinyue was trying to push all the blame onto him!

When they saw that the two of them were arguing, no one knew who to believe. However, it was clear that Chen Baiyi’s reputation as a ‘jinx’ was fake. While the two of them were blaming each other, Chen Baiyi realized that the person on the straw mat seemed to be moving. In order to verify, Chen Baiyi walked to the edge of the straw mat and carefully observed. There really was movement!

The crying and Dog Two and Chen Xiyue accusing each other made Chen Baiyi unable to think clearly. She roared, “Stop arguing. He’s still alive!”
