When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120: Target of Public Criticism

As soon as the boy spoke, people around Chen Youran also began speaking, but Chen Youran herself kept her mouth shut, just lying in her best friend’s arms, sobbing quietly.

Zhou Chengchen took a deep breath, her cold hands clenched into fists. She had acted impulsively, believing it was Chen Youran because of what had happened at noon, and had stormed back to settle accounts with her.

But looking at the situation now, it was clear that she had misunderstood.

It’s possible for one person to lie for Chen Youran, but it’s impossible for everyone to lie for her.

Some people started urging her to apologize. Zhou Chengchen pressed her lips tightly, her gaze turned to the side, unintentionally meeting a familiar look from afar.

Zhou Chengchen’s heart suddenly tightened. Xi Siyan was frowning at her, and those familiar black eyes were filled with a complex emotion she couldn’t understand at this moment.

There was a voice in Zhou Chengchen’s heart, it’s over, she’s done for, surely in Xi Siyan’s eyes, she’s really become a bad girl now.

Very quickly, Xi Siyan avoided her gaze, lowered his head, and began doing something unknown.

Zhou Chengchen’s heart ached. She had just pressed her lips and refused to apologize because she felt it was a loss of face, felt embarrassed. She had rushed over so eagerly to question someone, and it turned out to be a misunderstanding, so apologizing wasn’t really a big deal.

But just now, Chen Youran’s words had obviously poured the dirty water of the noon incident over her again. Now, even if she had a hundred mouths, she couldn’t explain it clearly.

So she didn’t want to apologize, but in that brief moment of locking eyes with Xi Siyan, Zhou Chengchen felt her strength drain out completely. What did face matter? What did a misunderstanding matter?

No matter how many misunderstandings others had, none could compare to the piercing intensity of his one glance.

Zhou Chengchen gritted her teeth and said, "I’m sorry, it was my misunderstanding."

Chen Youran didn’t speak, but her best friend, holding her, spoke angrily, "What have you done to You Ran? Even your apology lacks sincerity, Zhou Chengchen. You’re impressive, but don’t think our You Ran is easily bullied. She’s kind-hearted, doesn’t hold grudges, but that doesn’t mean you can bully her freely."

After the girl finished speaking, there was another round of whispering around. Chen Youran slowly sat up and said, "It’s okay now, everyone go back, it’s time for class."

"Who are these people, really? Aren’t they just relying on their family’s money."

"What’s the use of being good at studies, with such poor character."

"Exactly..."

The people around started leaving, not forgetting to mutter under their breaths. Zhou Chengchen felt very cold, unbearably so, and she couldn’t bring herself to focus on class.

As the class bell rang, Zhou Chengchen hurriedly rushed out of the classroom.

Xiao Rou watched her, gritted her teeth, and quickly stood up to follow her out.

Zhou Chengchen ran to the top floor platform of the teaching building, curled up her entire body, her jacket soaked with water. She took it off and threw it to the side, leaving her wearing only her thin school uniform, and she instantly felt freezing cold.

Xiao Rou caught up, reached out, and hugged her. "Cheng Chen, I’m sorry, I’m sorry."

She had a weak personality, never dared to confront people head-on. So just now, watching Zhou Chengchen become the target of everyone’s ire, Xiao Rou didn’t know what to do, she could only stand there blankly and watch her.

God knows how much she wanted to rush over and protect Zhou Chengchen behind her, but she didn’t have the courage. Timid for over ten years, Xiao Rou felt guilty for not standing up for her friend.

She hugged Zhou Chengchen tightly, felt the coldness on her body, paused, and then took off her own down jacket and put it on Zhou Chengchen.
