Chapter 374: Chapter 374 You Will Pay the Price

Lew Yuan shouted angrily, "Lin Xuezhu, am I a flood beast, am I a plague god? Why can’t the books I bring be sold to Song Ting? Are we class enemies, or do we have deep-rooted hatred?"

"I admit, I did fancy Song Ting once, but after she rejected me, I had no other intentions."

"Today, I came to see you intending to show you the scarf receipt, but I ran into Song Ting. I knew about the disgusting things you’ve been doing recently. I wanted to apologize to Song Ting, but she wouldn’t even acknowledge me. I had to ask her where you were, and she said you were in the rehearsal hall. It was just a brush past, and then you charged at me, humiliating me without discerning right from wrong..."

It seemed like Lew Yuan was ready to tear off the pretense, his voice carrying a chill, "Lin Xuezhu, this was an ordinary matter, but because of your jealousy, it has turned into this uncontrollable situation. It’s just a book, and I even collected three and a half yuan from Song Ting. But in your eyes, it seems like I’ve committed some unforgivable sin."

"Stop using the uncollected money to humiliate me. Lin Xuezhu, I, Lew Yuan, swear to the heavens, when Song Ting gave me the money for the book, there was no further interaction between us. If what I say is false, let my intestines rupture, and may I never prosper in my career. Lin Xuezhu, are you satisfied now?"

Lin Xuezhu’s tears streamed down.

"...Why do you have to swear? I believe you, Brother Yuan, don’t be like this, I don’t blame you, really, I don’t."

Song Yunuan rolled her eyes secretly in the dark.

Not blaming Lew Yuan, then whom, herself?

Chief Ghu frowned, but instead of asking someone else, he asked Song Yunuan.

"And what happened next?"

Song Yunuan first gave the book to Song Ting, taking pains to explain, "Youngest Aunt, I originally planned to bring the book to you after going to school in two days, but then I received a call saying you had fainted. I instinctively slipped the book into my bag, not expecting it would come in handy.

"Youngest Aunt, in the future, just tell me if you want anything. As long as it’s within my reach, I, your niece, will surely get it for you. Don’t worry about it, just focus on studying and singing, and stay happy."

Song Ting’s eyes reddened and brimmed with tears, filling her heart with guilt.

It was all because she hadn’t considered the consequences.

That she had brought such big trouble to her family.

Little Nuan was young but had never caused any trouble for the family. On the contrary, she had helped the family’s life get better and better.

They all benefited from Little Nuan, including herself.

And today, she, the no-good Youngest Aunt, had stirred up such a mess.

She thought there was no way to reverse the situation, and she’d have to carry this stain on her reputation.

The regret was real, wishing she had never asked for the book.

But unexpectedly, Little Nuan had resolved the issue.

Song Ting nodded vigorously: "Little Nuan, I’ll remember your words. I’ll talk to you if I need anything."

Old Man Song and Old Mrs. Song glanced at each other.

A smile couldn’t help but form on Old Mrs. Song’s lips.

The heavy burden on their hearts had finally eased a bit.

Then she patted her daughter’s back, "From now on, be a bit more mindful, all right?"

With tears in her eyes, Song Ting nodded, "I’ll remember."

Finally unable to hold back, Chu Zizhou spoke up, "If it wasn’t for someone making mountains out of molehills, this would’ve been an utterly trivial matter."

Old Mrs. Song glanced at Chu Zizhou and spoke in a lowered voice, "A lesson might be a good thing."

And Lew Yuan finally knew why Song Yunuan was aware of the situation.

It was really just too coincidental.

Song Yunuan asked Lin Xuezhu, "Lin Xuezhu, do you think the matter with the book has been clarified?"

Lin Xuezhu opened her mouth but her face had already turned ashen.

If she continued to dwell on this issue endlessly, none of the people in this conference room would let her off.

And what point could she possibly hold on to?

Continue to argue that Song Ting shouldn’t have spent money on the book Lew Yuan brought her?

Lew Yuan’s leader, she knew him.

She called him Uncle Li.

Uncle Li had a good relationship with her father, so they wouldn’t dare lie about him.

Now, in everyone’s eyes, this was a matter so small as to be insignificant.

Not to mention, this involved Director Whang from the provincial city’s Xinhua Bookstore and Uncle Li from the Culture Bureau.

Was she expected to confront these two as well?

Song Yunuan looked at Lin Xuezhu who remained silent, "Why aren’t you talking? Aren’t you very articulate?"

"Lin Xuezhu, are you perhaps suggesting that Director Whang from the Xinhua Bookstore in the provincial city is a fraud?"

"And that what Comrade Lew’s leader said isn’t true either?"

"Since you don’t believe it, you can make a phone call right now. I’ll give you Director Whang from the Xinhua Bookstore’s phone number, and you can personally verify what’s the deal with this specialized book."

Song Yunuan continued, "As for Comrade Lew’s leader, you can go to his workplace to find him and personally verify the truth of this matter."

"If you don’t verify it, all the unnecessary trouble stirred up by this book will be entirely because of your narrow-mindedness and jealousy, Lin Xuezhu."

"You can’t stand anyone better than you, so you make a big deal out of a small matter. Of course, you will pay the price for this."

Lin Xuezhu’s mouth opened and closed. She actually didn’t know what to say.

Song Yunuan asked again, "All your leaders and colleagues are here. Do you think this matter has been explained clearly?

You need to give a precise answer. Don’t turn around and start spreading rumors and slinging mud behind people’s backs."

One of the police officers also recognized Lin Xuezhu.

The task today turned out to be strangely awkward.

He roughly understood.

So it was Lin Xuezhu making a mountain out of a molehill.

How foolish was Lin Xuezhu to stir up trouble with Song Yunuan of all people?

Do you even know who she is before you mess with her family?

Really worrisome.

No wonder Lin Xuezhu’s parents always said they had an ungrateful daughter.

It seemed like today’s issue wasn’t going to end well.

Because everyone knew that Lin Xuezhu herself wanted to cause a stir.

So could the Song family ever let her off the hook?

And at that moment, Lin Xuezhu was still not speaking.

Song Yunuan grew impatient and suddenly stretched out her little hand, viciously slamming it down on the table.

This noise startled everyone in the meeting room.

Song Yunuan frowned, "If things are clear, then they’re clear; if they’re not, then they’re not. What’s the meaning of standing there without saying a word?

Are you so thick-skinned that you waste everyone’s time, keeping us here to play with you? Speak, Lin Xuezhu!"

Lin Xuezhu was so frightened she nearly jumped up.

Clenching her hands tightly, she spoke with difficulty, "Explained... It’s clear."

The people in the room all breathed a sigh of relief.

But Song Yunuan just smiled coldly, "Now, let’s explain the incident involving Old Woman Li from Li family village, shall we?"

Song Yunuan paused, then addressed Old Mrs. Song, "Grandma, I won’t talk about Old Woman Li’s case, you tell them what you know.

By the way, the day Old Woman Li’s daughter-in-law drank the poison to commit suicide was the same day she was whispering intimately with Lin Xuezhu, who also harbored ill intentions."

Lin Xuezhu’s eyes widened immediately.

Her heart started beating uncontrollably with anxiety.

What was this about?

Old Mrs. Song was very clever and instantly knew what Little Nuan was up to.

She knew the most about Old Woman Li’s matter.

But she didn’t know that Old Woman Li had come to the art troupe.

The Li family had called off the marriage; Li Benzhong got married shortly after.

His wife had not gotten pregnant, and a medical checkup revealed she had a health issue.

However, it was treatable.

The mother-in-law was too stingy to spend the money, then pressured her son into getting a divorce...
