Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1447: Chapter 1449: It’s You I Suspect

”If you don’t make it clear, how can you prove that we are cohabiting? What’s there to discuss about two people living together at school?” Chiang Xiao said, ”Life is nothing but eating, drinking, and going about our necessities. So, if I really were discussing with Jin Lei at school what to eat tonight, what to drink tonight, or about tonight’s situation at home, I’d like to ask my fellow students, if you overheard me and Jin Lei talking about these things without avoiding others, what would be your first reaction? What kind of relationship do you think Jin Lei and I have?”

A man called out, ”If it were me, I’d think you were relatives!”

”Siblings? Cousins?”

”Chiang Xiao, you’re not renting a room from Jin Lei’s family, are you?”

This suggestion was quite original. Chiang Xiao was somewhat speechless.

Someone else said, ”From this perspective, the person who wrote the letter knows you. If it were me, and I was in the same class as you, I would just come up and ask, ’Wow, you two are going out to eat tonight? Mind if I tag along?’”

”I’d probably just ask directly too, ’Hey, are you two dating?’”

The onlookers began discussing animatedly.

Chiang Xiao gave a slight smile and said, ”So, all of you have such straightforward thoughts. But this classmate, without asking anything, just went ahead and did this, reporting me with such an accusation.” She waved the denunciation letter in her hand.

”I don’t know how dark this person’s heart must be. But, using this opportunity, I suppose I can clarify something, even though I really have no obligation to explain.”

Chiang Xiao stood beside Jin Lei and patted his shoulder.

Jin Lei somehow felt that this gesture was like an elder comforting a younger one.

That made no sense; he was clearly a bit older than Chiang Xiao.

”I’m friends with Jin Lei’s cousin. Last night, I invited his cousin to dinner, and when Jin Lei heard, he said he wanted to join for the meal.” As she said this, she looked at the guy who had talked about tagging along for the meal and said, ”Congratulations, you’ve found someone with similar interests.”

The surrounding students laughed, and that guy scratched the back of his head.

”Then this kid,” Chiang Xiao pointed to Jin Lei, ”after walking a bit, suddenly turns back and tells me he likes Spare Rib, asking me to buy some for dinner. Well, I guess someone overheard this and started speculating about my relationship with Jin Lei, without even asking, and went straight to cut and paste together an anonymous letter.”

She paused and looked at Ye Wanqing, ”Honestly, in these few days since the beginning of school, aside from this student, Ye Wanqing, I really haven’t had any conflicts with anyone else.”

Ye Wanqing’s face instantly turned pale.

Chiang Xiao’s words were already very clear.

The anonymous letter was written by her.

All eyes suddenly turned to her.

Ye Wanqing once again felt the humiliation she had experienced in the cafeteria being despised and laughed at by so many people.

She felt a surge of hatred almost to the point of spewing blood.

”Chiang Xiao, didn’t we already clear the air about that day’s issue? What do you mean by this? Are you suspecting me now?” Ye Wanqing said, her eyes brimming with tears.

Chiang Xiao nodded quite directly, ”Yes, I am suspecting you. Because in the whole class, you’re the only one I’ve had an issue with. Isn’t it quite normal to suspect you? But I’ve spoken openly, now you can defend yourself.”
