Chapter 407: Chapter 381: Xiao Qiang Takes Action (100+ Monthly Tickets Updated)

Honestly speaking, if Chu Xue didn’t come over to annoy Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian wouldn’t have bothered with her. After all, the present Xiao Qian is worlds apart from the Xiao Qian in her past life.

Now she has a car, a house, a business, a man, and a bright future. She’s on a completely different level from Chu Xue, and bullying her would be beneath her. She only tried to scare her off last time for fun. But now that Chu Xue is the one provoking her, she must put her in her place or would appear too weak.

As Xiao Qian pondered her next move, she gazed at Yu Minglang, who was busy making phone calls to arrange things.

“Get me this woman’s financial situation, including her withdrawal records. She claimed to have ten thousand yuan, but she must actually have that amount. Once the records are found, file a lawsuit directly against her for slander and blackmail – is Xiao Liu at the newspaper office? Get him over here and tell him that I’m giving him this story for free, and I’ll even waive the clue fees. Let him have a field day with it, like a real-life version of Mr. Dong Guo and the Wolf, a cautionary tale for everyone!”

Yu Minglang was ruthless when it came to defending his girlfriend. At first, Xiao Qian listened to how he dealt with the issue, but soon her attention was diverted.

He stood by the window, bathed in the morning light, wearing a white V-neck sweater, his sharp features accentuated by the cold, calm demeanor, and strategic poise. Even his fingers holding the phone seemed exceptionally slender.

With her hand propping up her chin, Xiao Qian silently admired how Yu Minglang stood up for her.

She could have resolved the issue herself, and he likely knew that too. However, he still wanted to stand up for her anyway. This feeling of being doted on was not bad.

Well, occasionally playing the role of a weak woman and hiding behind him was pretty nice too.

After calmly dealing with the issue, Yu Minglang turned around to find Xiao Qian staring straight at him.

“I’m going to sue this ill-fated woman until not even her underpants remain.”

“…At least leave her with something to cover her shame. Nobody wants to see that. Don’t pollute everyone’s eyes.”

Yu Minglang’s furrowed brows relaxed slightly, as he walked over and hugged her, letting her sit on his lap.

“What’s with these people? I let her off the hook, and now she’s flaunting it? I’ll make sure she flounders!”

It’s his precious Qian Bao he was talking about, for her safety. Who does Chu Xue think she is? She can’t talk about it like that. He’ll countersue her for extortion and make sure she pays the price. How despicable!

“Xiao Mei, are you angry? Don’t be angry because of people like her.” Yu Minglang thought Xiao Qian was upset and felt wronged when she continued to stare blankly at him. After all, anyone would be infuriated by such a situation.

Helpers getting falsely accused is not a new thing. For example, there are those who helped elders only to be accused of causing the accident, resulting in huge compensations and even suicides. This sort of thing does happen.

In an ideal world, people should treat each other with respect. However, reality is different, and there are always people like Chu Xue, who have no bottom line and spout nonsense.

“I’m not angry. I just think you’re so cool now, Xiao Qiang, and I want to kiss you.”

Yu Minglang’s bun practically fell into his porridge.

Xiao Qian blinked her eyes. Did she shock Xiao Qiang by being a bit too forward?

Actually, she also wanted to say that seeing him protect her so fiercely and look so handsome while doing it, she wouldn’t mind a passionate struggle…

Of course, as an elegant female boss, Xiao Qian would never actually say that. Although she’s not superstitious, she still had to consider certain aspects, as that would be unhygienic and, according to superstition, could bring bad luck to men. Xiao Qiang’s work was always dangerous, and she couldn’t bear to let him take more risks.

Xiao Qian casually teased Yu Minglang, eliciting enough passion to make him pin her against the dining table and kiss her passionately. The make-out session was even better than the food. After they had their fill, they sat down to eat breakfast, unfazed by Chu Xue’s false accusations.

Chu Xue thought she had caused big trouble for Xiao Qian and was secretly pleased. But after waiting a day without any response from Xiao Qian, she was frightened by the people Yu Minglang sent.

Not only did they collect her financial proof, showing that she only had 4,214 yuan in her account with no recent income, but they also found she was an ordinary worker. Although she had dated Chen Lin, the small laundromat owner, who had given her money, she was a big spender who loved fashionable clothes, so most of it was gone.ù

Chu Xue had recently rented a house and her new boyfriend, the young boss of a gaming room, had not given her much money. Focused on slinging mud on Xiao Qian, she had entirely forgotten about her own financial situation. How could she possibly come up with ten thousand yuan?

Unable to prove she had so much money meant her accusations against Xiao Qian would not hold up in court. Chu Xue couldn’t even settle the matter, as Yu Minglang was unwilling to deal with a woman unless she laid a finger on Xiao Qian. Then it would be a different story.

Yu Minglang had already done everything he needed to do, and Xiao Qian was happy to let him handle it. He had the newspaper reporters focus on the story, hiding Xiao Qian’s name and stirring an uproar with the public.

They were disheartened by the good Samaritan’s tale, feeling it was an indication of moral decay. While the reporter hid Xiao Qian’s identity, he didn’t hide Chu Xue’s, even publishing her photo. Soon, people recognized her and she became the rat that crossed the street.

The journalist leveraged the hot topic to create buzz. Public opinion wasn’t as popular during that time, but it was still a sensation in Qiang City and even reached the provincial newspaper. The downfall of morality in society warranted serious reflection.

Yu Minglang knew that unless Chu Xue caused substantial damage to Xiao Qian’s reputation, it wouldn’t be easy to convict her. However, the power of public opinion was much stronger than having her in jail for a few months.

The news struck a nerve with the public, causing disgust toward those who repay kindness with bad intentions and creating a horrific impact. Everyone cursed Chu Xue for her despicable actions. The topic even became an essay question in the civil servant exam, asking for the applicant’s opinion. The focus was the importance of enhancing socialist core values and cultivating morality among society members.

Moreover, even middle school students had to tackle this case in their midterm essay, as the school was keeping up with the times.

Chu Xue became a figure of hatred among the students. She had mindlessly accused an innocent person, causing them to face such a difficult exam question. Did she not understand how challenging such a question was for students!?
