Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Tearing Off the Mask (5)

Jeers emanated from the audience seats in a series of hisses.

There was no need for Gu Nuan to say more, for everyone realized that this was a scheme concocted by two women to entrap their female classmate!

Su Yixia, utterly exasperated, could only glower at Gu Nuan and say, "I’ll have you know, you have no evidence! Not a single factual piece of evidence. Everything is just your speculative conjecture. And it’s your paranoia that has led you to falsely accuse such a good person as me. If I hadn’t been looking out for you, worried about you being deceived, why would I have told you the actual truth!"

"Oh, give me a break. How long have those two been secretly dating behind my back? You told me only after I had been dumped by him. What were you thinking? That doing this at that time would somehow bring her closer to me, watching my miserable state, isn’t it?" Gu Nuan retorted.

"No!" Su Yixia shouted loudly.

But no one around believed her words.

Because she couldn’t produce any proof that the information about Wa Zicong and Lin Yishan’s relationship had been acquired legitimately.

Su Yixia was stumped. How could she explain? If she said she had learned about it at some social gathering, it would imply that she had long been in the same social circle as Lin Yishan.

Being from the same social circle naturally suggested a prior acquaintance, which only muddied the waters further. And Gu Nuan was right—Su Yixia hadn’t informed her earlier to spare her the greater pain but rather had kicked her when she was down. What was her real motive?

The abundance of factual evidence was on Gu Nuan’s side, not on Su Yixia’s.

Su Yixia found herself under the accusing eyes of the crowd, which was not at all what she had anticipated, believing her actions had been flawless and untraceable. Little did she know that Gu Nuan, with her Eyes of Golden Flame, had already seen through everything, merely waiting for her to walk into the trap.

Now, approaching Gu Nuan was simply an act of humiliating herself!

As the crowd of onlookers grew, Su Yixia’s embarrassment only intensified. Out of desperation, she shot a cold sneer at Gu Nuan, "Don’t be smug for too long. Do you think you’re the only one who knows my secrets? Don’t I have secrets of yours in my hands?"

Gu Nuan slightly lowered her eyebrows, deciding not to bother with a drowning dog.

Su Yixia glared at her fiercely, then pushed through the crowd and walked away briskly.

A phone call went to Lin Yishan, starting with furious accusations: "Great job, your fiancé, huh? Knowing that I’m your woman, he still fired me!"

Lin Yishan, apparently having just heard something from Wa Zicong, responded calmly, "Miss Su, it’s your own carelessness that gave her an opportunity. I’ve long told you not to play games with her, but you wouldn’t listen."

"Now you’re crossing the river and dismantling the bridge you built? Wasn’t it you who asked me to find ways to get close to her, to extract their relationship’s weaknesses? Do you want me to blurt all this out for the whole world to hear?" Su Yixia challenged.

Knowing that she was cornered and ready to drag down everyone with her, Lin Yishan quickly tried to calm her, "You know very well how I regard you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have introduced you to such a good man as my little uncle." Mentioning Xiao Yebai, Su Yixia’s mind cooled.

"I told you, didn’t I? Unlike her, that cunning and deceitful deaf woman, I truly care about you. We’re cut from the same cloth. Compared to us, what is she? A lowly ant. No money, no man," Lin Yishan said.

To this, Su Yixia appeared more rational, "Stop it, didn’t I tell you last time? It seems she’s been seen entering a hospital with some wealthy man. I heard that night, your aunt also saw something at the hospital, right?"
