Chapter 256: Surrounded
Ye Xin’s wheelchair came to a stop in front of Mu Chen.
Cheng Che instinctively stepped forward in front of Mu Chen as he said, “Miss Ye, I’ve already told you that if you have anything to say, you can ask your lawyer to speak to our lawyer. We have nothing to say to you.”
Cheng Che raised his voice slightly when nearing the end of his sentence.
Ye Xin sneered. “What lawyer? Do I need to look for a lawyer for my private matters with Mu Chen?”
When Ye Xin saw Mu Chen keeping quiet, tears rolled down her face as she said, “Mu Chen, why are you so heartless? You’re not even willing to talk to me?”
She pounded her lap, agitated, as she continued to say, “I’ve become like this because of you! Don’t you feel distressed at all? Have you forgotten what you said in the past? You said you won’t marry anyone unless you marry me! Ever since you met that woman, you’ve changed. You protected her and even publicly declared your love! What about me? I’ve accompanied you for so many years!”
At this time, the commotion had already attracted a crowd. After all, this scene seemed like it came out of a television drama. There were even some onlookers who looked around to see if there were any cameras around; they wondered if they stumbled upon a filming. After all, the appearances, temperaments, clothes, and the words from these people really made it seem like they were actors acting out a scene. Needless to say, when they determined there were no cameras around, they began to discuss among themselves in low voices.
Meanwhile, Cheng Che’s expression changed after he heard Ye Xin’s words. He said sternly, “Miss Ye, you’ll have to take legal responsibilities if you speak such misleading words…”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xin smiled mournfully before she said, “Fine, arrest me or sue me if you want! All I did was fall in love with Mu Chen. Is it a crime to love someone? I gave up my youth and my body to him, but he ruthlessly abandoned me, causing me to end up in such a state! Can’t I even demand an explanation from him?”
Mu Chen calmly said, “Cheng Che, call the police!”
Cheng Che brought his phone out, but he could not help but hesitate slightly. Would the police get involved in such a matter?
Meanwhile, Mu Chen’s tone was icy and indifferent as he said, “Miss Ye, do you intend to baselessly slander me? If that’s the case, let the law determine the right and wrong of this matter.”
After saying these words, Mu Chen turned around to leave.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xin screeched, “Mu Chen, how can you be so ruthless?”
Mu Chen did not even bother to turn back.
Ye Xin continued shouting in her shrill voice, causing chills to run up people’s spines, “Mu Chen, I was born to be a member of the Mu family; even if I die, I’ll die a ghost of the Mu family. It doesn’t matter if you refuse to acknowledge me; I’ll kill myself in front of your doors! With that, when I become a ghost, at least, I’ll be able to stay by your side every day!”
Upon hearing these words, the crowd looked at Mu Chen with a hint of contempt as they continued to discuss among themselves.
“He looks decent, but he’s actually a scumbag!”
“That’s right! That young woman is so pitiful sitting in a wheelchair, and yet, he’s so hard-hearted!”
“We can’t let him off so easily! He’s such an irresponsible person!”
“That’s right, that’s right! We can’t let him go!”
“Hey, you! You can’t leave! You have to give this young woman an explanation!”
“That’s right! She’s so pitiful! Do you have any conscience at all?”
Mu Chen and Cheng Che had never experienced such a thing before and were slightly taken aback. Nevertheless, their expressions still remained calm. Inwardly, they were infuriated by the crowd who jumped to conclusions without knowing the truth.
For the first time, the duo personally experienced how terrifying public opinion could be.
