My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1033: Chapter 893: Memories of Myself_14

In private, a flurry of rumors kept reaching Li Jiayuan’s ears, and as soon as Li Jiayuan heard, she blew her top: ”Zhang Zhentian, what nonsense are you spouting? You’re ruining my reputation, you have to take responsibility!”

”Hahaha.” Upon hearing Li Jiayuan’s rhetoric, Zhang Zhentian burst out laughing uncontrollably.

”Zhang Zhentian, what are you laughing at?”

”Li Jiayuan, are you stupid or just crazy? You still have a reputation? Or should I say, as the daughter of Li Haixiao, the President of Li Corporation, do you really care about your so-called reputation? You haven’t forgotten how you made Xia Jing misunderstand the two of us, have you?” Zhang Zhentian sarcastically asked Li Jiayuan.

”Oh, so this woman is the daughter of Li Haixiao, no wonder she looks so familiar!”

”Yes, who would have thought that the daughter of such a prominent family would stoop to being a third party, ruining others’ relationships. This is truly Li Haixiao’s failure in teaching his daughter. Luckily, she’s not my daughter. If she were, I would have kicked her out of the house for doing such a disgraceful thing.”

...

The voices of the passersby’s discussions grew louder. Many people who had just gotten off their flights couldn’t help but stop to watch the commotion.

Li Jiayuan wanted to argue back against Zhang Zhentian, but she knew deep down that the whole situation was because of her. She didn’t know how to refute Zhang Zhentian anymore. She wondered if Zhang Zhentian’s manner meant he had already learned the truth about the situation, which is why he was speaking to her in this way.

A middle-aged man couldn’t hold back and spoke up to Li Jiayuan: ”Young lady, conscience matters. Do you think it’s right to ruin someone else’s relationship? Don’t you feel guilty for breaking up two people who originally loved each other? Be careful, actions like yours will bring no good result...”

The originally directed public opinion towards Zhang Zhentian shifted drastically and overwhelmingly onto Li Jiayuan after Zhang Zhentian’s words. Li Jiayuan felt angry at the comments of the middle-aged man.

”How does whether I feel guilty relate to you? Is it up to you to judge if what I did was right? Who are you to me anyway? Not even my father has said such things to me, and you’re just a stranger, an unrelated person, what gives you the right to speak to me like this?” Li Jiayuan yelled at the middle-aged man, venomously continuing, ”Oh, I get it, madam. Have you been a mistress before and now you’re facing karma, so that’s why you’re accusing me?”

The middle-aged man was stunned by Li Jiayuan’s sudden remark and didn’t react immediately. Seeing the middle-aged man staying silent, people assumed he acquiesced and began pointing fingers at him.

Once the middle-aged man recovered, he slapped Li Jiayuan and shouted fiercely, ”Watch your mouth. Do you know why I hate your kind of mistress? Because it was a mistress who wrecked my family. I’m telling you, there are two kinds of people in this world. One kind is fit only to be other people’s mistress, always destroying others’ family harmony, and the other kind is smart people who understand how difficult it is to maintain family harmony, so they won’t ruin others’ marriage. And you’re the first kind.”

”What did you say?” Li Jiayuan asked the middle-aged man.

”Do I need to repeat it? Do you think being the daughter of a wealthy family makes you extraordinary? Do you think only you have money and others don’t? I’m telling you, acting high-profile while being low-profile in person is the right path. Stop daydreaming about things you shouldn’t all day.” The middle-aged man finished speaking and left.

Li Jiayuan did not expect the middle-aged man to be more sharp-tongued than herself. With nothing to say, those who had pointed fingers at the middle-aged man felt awkward, realizing they had misunderstood him.

The crowd of onlookers, feeling they had seen enough drama, gradually dispersed. Taking advantage of Li Jiayuan’s moment of shock, Zhang Zhentian quietly slipped away.

Do you think I was too harsh? After all, she is a young lady, yet I spoke such hurtful words. At the time, I didn’t know what she thought or cared about her feelings or pain. From the beginning, I’ve been so selfish!
