Chapter 499 - 499: Pressure of Public Remarks
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The woman in the green army uniform caused such a commotion that the surrounding people, who only had a vague understanding of the situation and hadn’t seen Liu Hua being pushed earlier, naturally tended to believe the three people.
Amidst the pointing and murmuring of the crowd, Xia Wan and Liu Hua were seen as two hot-tempered and unreasonable individuals.
Feeling wronged, Liu Hua wanted to argue but was at a loss for words.
She looked helplessly at Xia Wan, “What should we do now? Shall we leave first?”
Xia Wan, ignoring Liu Hua, fixed her gaze on the woman, who seemed on the verge of tears, and said, “Your ability to twist the truth is truly remarkable.”
The woman looked innocently at Xia Wan, “Where have I twisted the truth? The public’s eyes are clear. Are you saying these people are falsely accusing you?”
This seemed to shift the blame onto the innocent bystanders. Xia Wan, with a scornful smile, retorted, “Letting someone like her get away with it only encourages worse behavior in the future!”
Xia Wan took out an MP4 player from her pocket and played a recording for everyone to hear.
After the recording, the onlookers exchanged glances.
Many regretted their hasty judgments.
While more chose to remain silent. “wisely.”
“What does a recording prove?” the girl’s voice carried a hint of resentment.
“If you hadn’t pushed my friend earlier, why would your friend apologize on your behalf?” Xia Wan highlighted the key point from the recording. “Moreover, your two friends’ statements confirm what conflict occurred between us.
“And you just stood there, pretending to be clueless?
“Are you selectively deaf?
“It’s surprising that someone who looks decent could stoop so low as to blame their own wrongdoing on others, even their friends!
“Do you love playing the victim to gain sympathy, or lack a sense of responsibility, believing the world should revolve around you?”
The woman’s face turned from green to purple under Xia Wan’s words, seemingly never having been spoken to like this before.
Her companions stepped in to defend her, warning Xia Wan, “Don’t go too far! We’re not people you can offend easily!”
“Be careful… ”
Before she could finish, Xia Wan interrupted, “I don’t care about your background, if you’re wrong, you should admit it.
“If you really want to settle this matter, I don’t mind going to the police station, or to those you claim I can’t afford to offend!”
Xia Wan’s words made the woman in the dress clench her fists in anger.
From childhood, everyone had fallen for her act, except for Xia Wan.
“Who are you to talk to me like this?” the woman in the dress said through gritted teeth, dropping her pretense.
“Oh, not pretending anymore?” Xia Wan prodded further.
“Do you know who you’re talking to?” the woman’s voice became shrill, losing her previous composure.
Xia Wan smirked, “How about introducing yourself? Let us know your grand identity?”
She almost revealed herself but was stopped by a woman in a plain shirt beside her.
The woman then swallowed her words.
The woman in the plain shirt addressed Xia Wan, “We were just out for a stroll, not intending to cause trouble.
“Since your friend wasn’t hurt, we apologize for our impolite behavior just now.
“Can we let this slide?”
The woman seemed sincere, subtly signaling to her companion in the dress.
Reluctantly, but forced by the situation, the woman in the dress muttered an apology to Xia Wan and Liu Hua.
Liu Hua was ready to let bygones be bygones, but Xia Wan wasn’t willing to let it go.
It wasn’t that she was aggressive, but given the woman’s character, if she didn’t take precautions, the woman might come back to trouble them later!
“We accept your apology,” Xia Wan said coldly.
“Everyone here can witness this.”
“However, I won’t delete this recording, lest someone might want to settle the score after the fall..”
