My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot
Chapter 114: Lying

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Lying

"As a student of Jing University, how could Lu Youbang act like he knows nothing about the law and even came to ask Lu Youxi to release his dad? Is he okay?"

"When you listened to what Lu Youxi said just now, Lu Youbang couldn’t refute a single sentence; the only thing he could say is that he’s being slandered. That means everything Lu Youxi said was true."

"I need to talk to the seniors quickly, let them know what kind of person Lu Youbang is so they won’t be deceived in the future."

"And he lies about being a city dweller, too vain."

"Yes, what’s wrong with being born in the countryside? Studying hard to get into university on your own is even more admirable. Look, Lu Youxi has never hidden it."

"Lu Youbang clearly has character issues."

At the moment, all Lu Youbang could think about was how to explain himself to Huang Mengyao later.

Hence, he was no longer concerned about the odd looks from others on the way.

He sprinted until he was sweating profusely, rushed out of the campus, and headed to the cafe where Huang Mengyao was.

At this time, drinking coffee was still not a common practice.

Unlike in Lu Youxi’s previous life, where various chain cafes and trendy coffee shops were everywhere, and one could easily buy a cup of coffee.

The cafe was quite empty now, especially quiet, and suited for discussing matters.

"Mengyao," Lu Youbang gasped as he reached the second floor where Huang Mengyao was.

He saw Huang Mengyao sitting quietly on the sofa, her face expressionless.

Lu Youbang couldn’t read anything from her face.

Seeing Lu Youbang, Huang Mengyao smiled slightly, "You’re here, have a seat."

Lu Youbang sat down across from Huang Mengyao, feeling a bit uneasy.

In the past, seeing him so tired from rushing over, Huang Mengyao would always comment on how he shouldn’t rush.

’It’s okay to take it slow.’

But every time, Lu Youbang would still arrive out of breath.

Usually, he would sprint the last fifty meters, faking the urgency so that Huang Mengyao felt that he was hurrying because he valued her highly.

Huang Mengyao would be very pleased then.

"Mengyao, what happened?" Lu Youbang sat down, asked cautiously, and observed Huang Mengyao’s expression.

Huang Mengyao didn’t bother to order Lu Youbang a cup of coffee but merely stirred her coffee with a little spoon, took a small sip, and then said, "Youbang, I heard from my roommate today, there have been many rumors about you at the university recently."

Lu Youbang thought to himself that it was indeed the case. He nodded with a bitter smile, "I have to tell you, I just heard about them too."

"Are the rumors true?" Huang Mengyao asked.

"Of course not!" Lu Youbang immediately denied, "I don’t know why Lu Youxi wants to ruin my reputation so badly, or maybe I do know a bit."

"Is she lying?" Huang Mengyao grew a bit hopeful.

Lu Youbang nodded, "I just heard about the rumors at the school today as well, but not everything. Tell me what you’ve heard, and I’ll explain them one by one."

Huang Mengyao considered it, thinking it would be good to listen to Lu Youbang’s explanations, then said, "Lu Youxi claimed that your family lives in a small village under Fengnan City, not in the Fengnan City District. Youbang, be honest with me, even if it’s true that you live in a small village, it doesn’t matter to me. I’ve always liked you for who you are, not whether you are from the city or a village."

Lu Youbang chuckled and said, "My family did move to Fengnan City not long ago, and it’s true that we live within Fengnan City. As for Lu Youxi’s family, they indeed live with my grandparents in Hexing Village. When my family just moved to the city, we were doing fine by ourselves but couldn’t really help Lu Youxi’s family much. Moreover, my grandparents have land in the village and couldn’t leave the land, so they didn’t move to the city with us. On the other hand, my uncle’s family, which is Lu Youxi’s family, was very eager to live in the city and even asked for our help. We agreed that we would bring them over when possible. But it seems they think we are making excuses to delay, so they were very unhappy. Their family has been quite mean about my family back in the village."

Lu Youbang kept this in mind just in case Huang Mengyao’s family decided to inquire about Hexing Village; he had his words ready to explain that it was Lu Youxi’s family damaging his image in the village.

"As for my tuition and living expenses, most of it is covered by my own family. My uncle believes since I am the first university student in our family and I got into Jing University, I would eventually be successful, so he invested some money with that thought. Their family isn’t wealthy and insisted on contributing; I couldn’t refuse. They expect that once I make it, I’ll be able to offer them more. However, Lu Youxi felt resentful, thinking that my uncle’s so-called investment ended up squandering the family’s funds, thereby making her life difficult, and she blames it all on me."

"Then Lu Youxi also mentioned your father... finding someone to... to..."

The cafe was quiet, and Huang Mengyao’s voice was naturally soft, now even lower, "ruin her reputation, so he ended up in jail."

Lu Youbang was furious, surprised that Lu Youxi had already been spreading the story around.

Lu Youxi truly was trouble, always doing things that hurt others without benefiting herself!

His grandparents were right; people like Lu Youxi should be dealt with harshly, a good beating would set things right!

Lu Youbang put on a shocked expression, his face flushing with anger, "Time will prove everything. Lu Youxi is just spouting nonsense. Unfortunately, my parents are far away in Fengnan City, and I can’t have them testify. My father works as a warehouse manager in Fengnan City, nothing fancy, but since the warehouse is quite remote, it’s inconvenient for him to come home regularly, so he usually sleeps in the dormitory there. Just because he doesn’t come home often, Lu Youxi thinks she can just fabricate stories about my dad."

"Mengyao, how about this, if you really don’t believe me, why don’t we visit my parents during the National Day holiday?" Lu Youbang suggested.

Huang Mengyao was somewhat of a high-born lady, seeing Fengnan City as a remote little town, and Lu Youbang knew she wouldn’t go.

Even if she really went, he could just hire someone to pretend for a bit.

Sure enough, Huang Mengyao smiled and said, "Why would I not trust you? But... to go meet your parents now, especially me going alone with you so far away, is still too early..."

Huang Mengyao’s face reddened a bit, "Anyway, you are studying in the Imperial Capital, your parents haven’t visited here, right? How about we invite them over to enjoy the National Day holiday?"

"Sure," Lu Youbang agreed with a smile.

With the National Day holiday a month away, he felt a bit heavy-hearted and decided to worry about it later.

After Lu Youbang left, Lu Youxi had no classes until noon, so she quickly headed to the trading floor.
