Chapter 26: Lin Xiangyi’s Powerful Clarification

As soon as these words were spoken, the guests who hadn’t left the wedding banquet and those who had specially come to watch the show instantly erupted in chaos.

Didn’t Lu’s mother words amount to a tacit admission that the rumors circulating earlier were true?

Father and Mother Xie felt the gazes shooting at them from all directions, their faces turning pale.

However, their anger wasn’t directed at Lin Xiangyi, but at Lu’s mother actions.

Their family matters could be resolved privately. By speaking so publicly, Lu’s mother was clearly trying to retaliate for Father Xie’s rejection of her years ago.

Xie Qingxiao couldn’t bear it any longer and was about to speak, but Lin Xiangyi stopped him.

She questioned Lu’s mother, “Who said I like Lu Dingyuan?”

“You didn’t say it directly,” Lu’s mother saw Xie Qingxiao’s face growing increasingly gloomy and subtly took a step back. “But your classmates and teachers from high school all know.”

“Then they also say that Lu Dingyuan likes me. How come he suddenly ended up with my sister?” Lin Xiangyi asked with a smile.

“What are you talking about?” Lu’s mother face changed. “He just sees you as a classmate and a friend. He’s always loved Huihui!”

“Is that so?” Lin Xiangyi glanced at Lu Dingyuan.

“Yes!” Lu Dingyuan realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly said.

Lin Xiangyi continued, “Then should I take out the letters you wrote to me and read them to everyone?”

Lu Dingyuan’s face changed. Did Lin Xiangyi still have those letters?

Seeing Lu Dingyuan’s reaction, Lu’s mother subconsciously asked, “What letters?”

“I don’t know,” Lu Dingyuan refused to admit it, saying sternly, “Lin Xiangyi, we were just discussing academic matters back then. Even if I wrote you some letters, I wanted to mail them to the newspaper and have you take a look. If I wrote anything that caused you to misunderstand, I apologize. But I never had any other feelings for you. I’ve always loved Huihui…”

“Xiaolan, go back to the room and get the letters I put in my suitcase,” Lin Xiangyi turned to call Shen Xiaolan.

Shen Xiaolan was worried to death, afraid that this misunderstanding would ruin Lin Xiangyi’s reputation. Hearing Lin Xiangyi’s words, she turned and ran.

Lu Dingyuan couldn’t continue. He didn’t expect Lin Xiangyi to actually keep those letters. He became a little panicked.

Seeing his expression, everyone knew what it meant.

Lu Dingyuan had indeed liked Lin Xiangyi and even wrote her love letters, but somehow ended up with her sister!

For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Dingyuan and Lin Huihui differently.

Lin Huihui hadn’t expected such a twist, feeling both anxious and angry, but didn’t know what to do.

Shen Xiaolan quickly ran back from the Xie family. Everyone saw that she was indeed holding a stack of letters in her hands.

“Xiangyi, here—wait!” Shen Xiaolan was about to hand the letters to Lin Xiangyi, but Lu’s mother suddenly rushed over, snatched the letters, and ran towards the kitchen, directly stuffing them into the blazing stove.

Shen Xiaolan was anxious and wanted to grab them back.

Lin Xiangyi stopped her and sneered, “Don’t bother. I was going to destroy those letters anyway. I kept them because I was afraid they would use them to smear me like today. Now, their attitude is clear enough. There’s no need to keep those letters anymore. It’s just disgusting.”

Lu Dingyuan watched his mother destroy the letters and felt a slight sense of relief. But hearing Lin Xiangyi’s words and seeing everyone’s reaction, his heart sank.

Yes, wasn’t this a confession?

Since Lin Xiangyi brought out the letters, he couldn’t clear his name.

His face was terribly gloomy. “Lin Xiangyi, I admit I did have feelings for you, but that was because I didn’t know you. Since I learned what a biased and vicious woman you are, I haven’t liked you anymore…”

He meant to say that Lin Xiangyi couldn’t tolerate Chen Fengmei and Lin Huihui.

But before he finished, Xie Qingxiao couldn’t bear it any longer. He stepped forward, grabbed Lu Dingyuan by the collar, and punched him directly: “You bastard, are you even a man?”

Lu Dingyuan was punched so hard that he saw stars.

“Son!” Lu’s mother was startled and rushed to protect Lu Dingyuan.

Xie Qingxiao dodged Lu’s mother and was about to strike again, but Lin Xiangyi pulled him back. Looking at Lu Dingyuan, she smiled coldly, her voice contemptuous:

“Lu Dingyuan, although we haven’t had a relationship beyond classmates and friends, we did make a promise to date after we got into college. So, strictly speaking, you broke your promise first!”

“You betrayed me and started dating my stepsister, Lin Huihui. Then you slandered me, saying I was obsessed with you. Now you’re trying to smear my reputation! You’re a real piece of trash with a handsome face, but you do sneaky things!”

“You actually think I’m with Xie Qingxiao to get back at you? I’m disgusted. You’re nothing compared to him. He’s more handsome than you, has a better character, and has better values! You’re not even qualified to compare yourself to him!”

“You’re a scumbag who changes his mind easily, and that woman is shameless. I, a gentleman, am willing to let you two live happily ever after. You two scumbags, just lock yourselves up and stop hurting anyone else!”

“You!”

Lin Xiangyi’s words made Lu Dingyuan both angry and frustrated, and he didn’t know how to refute her.

“No, it’s not like that! Sister—”

“You, you dare to insult my son? I’ll fight you!”

Instead of Lu Dingyuan, Lin Huihui and Lu’s mother were the first to react.

Lin Huihui’s first reaction was to deny Lin Xiangyi’s words, but Lu’s mother was so enraged that she kept repeating Lin Xiangyi’s insults to Lu Dingyuan. She didn’t give Lin Huihui a chance to speak and went straight for Lin Xiangyi.

“Wang Juhua, you dare to hit my daughter-in-law? I’ll fight you!” Mother Xie had endured for a long time. Like a firework, she rushed forward, grabbed Lu’s mother hair, and gave it a hard yank.

Lu’s mother let out a pig-like scream.

“Mother!”

“Aunt!”

“Chrysanthemum!”

The people from the Lu family were also anxious and rushed forward.

The Xie family’s relatives were not pushovers either. After hearing Lin Xiangyi’s words, they felt indignant and thought that the Lu family was too much. Seeing that the Lu family refused to admit their fault and even tried to attack, they immediately joined the fray.

For a moment, the scene was chaotic.

It wasn’t until the old village head heard the news and came to mediate that the commotion finally ended.
