Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 687: Ruining the Reputation

As for those watching the drama, Mu Qiancheng didn’t mind. He believed that the truth would reveal itself, and besides, people have their own mouths to speak with; he couldn’t control what they said.

However, the less he cared, the harsher their words became. Some even started to suspect that Mu Qiancheng had abandoned his partner after the initial excitement.

Jiang Xue couldn’t take it anymore. She stepped forward, smiling at Cheng Li, and said, "Oh, isn’t this my former best friend? Why are you blocking my man? Are you trying to get him to divorce me again?"

After speaking, Jiang Xue turned to the onlookers and said, "There’s a saying that goes, ’Guard against fire, theft, and best friends.’ Don’t be fooled by someone’s appearance; they might covet your husband while pretending to have your best interests at heart, advising you to divorce. As for their true motives, everyone smart enough would know."

"Luckily, my husband only has eyes for me. No matter how the other party pesters him, he doesn’t entertain it. Otherwise, I would be the one crying now."

Hearing Jiang Xue’s words, the crowd’s view of Cheng Li immediately changed. They originally thought she was a victim, but now they saw her as a mistress.

No wonder she had the demeanor of an innocent victim; that’s the typical tag of a homewrecker.

Because of this, those who used to sympathize with Cheng Li and blamed Mu Qiancheng immediately switched sides and started criticizing Cheng Li.

Listening to the criticism, Cheng Li’s face turned ugly, wishing she could slap Jiang Xue. Damn her, the originally favorable situation was ruined by her words.

"Why are you glaring at me? When it comes to conscience, you should be the one reflecting on your own. In what way have I wronged you to make you sabotage my happiness?"

"And my husband, too, went through great lengths to rescue you from human traffickers, and instead of being grateful, you’re here tarnishing his reputation. What exactly is your intention?"

"What, this woman was abducted by traffickers? And your husband was the one who saved her?" someone asked.

"Exactly! She was trafficked to A City and sold to a remote area. My husband and his comrades went through a lot to rescue her. Instead of being thankful, she came back to cause us trouble. She even went to my house this morning, saying she wanted to stay there?"

"Oh my, what kind of person is this, so ungrateful."

"Such people should be taught a lesson, or they won’t know their place."

"Yes, with someone so ungrateful, it’s best to keep away from her in the future."

"Exactly, girls like this won’t find a good match."

Everyone chimed in, making Cheng Li wish she could find a hole to hide in. Because of this, she resented Jiang Xue even more.

Originally, she had a plan; with so many people here, she aimed to ruin Mu Qiancheng’s reputation and use public opinion to force him to take her home.

But Jiang Xue’s few words foiled her plan. Damn Jiang Xue, didn’t she walk away earlier? Why did she come back?

If she had known, she wouldn’t have acted so impulsively. Cheng Li regretted it deeply, but it was too late, so she had no choice but to leave in disgrace.

Watching Cheng Li flee, everyone became more convinced of Jiang Xue’s words and started apologizing to her and Mu Qiancheng.

Listening to their apologies, Jiang Xue smiled and said it was fine, then asked everyone to disperse, before saying to Mu Qiancheng, "Cheng Li must be going crazy now, stay away from her in the future."

"Mm!" Mu Qiancheng nodded, knowing that with what Cheng Li pulled today, even if she wasn’t crazy, he’d make sure she would be.
