442 Pretending to Be A Good Person
Hearing Xu Ling’s words, Yu Yan didn’t dare to speak anymore. Otherwise, they would really think that she was trying to go back on her words!
Xu Ling still felt that it wasn’t enough and continued to add fuel to the fire. She deliberately asked, “Yu Yan, why aren’t you speaking? Does this mean you really planned to go back on your words?”
Yu Yan glared at Xu Ling with red eyes. “Xu Ling! You usually like to form cliques and ostracize other intellectuals. When I give you good things, you curry favor with me. When I don’t give you any benefits, you immediately take the lead to ostracize me! You’re pretending to be a good person in front of everyone now! In the end, you just want to use other people to bully me!”
“It’s fine if you take my things and eat my food, but now that my parents can’t send me money in time, you’re spreading rumors and inciting everyone to hit me when I’m down. Xu Ling, you’re an ungrateful person! It’s better for me to feed dogs than feed you!”
Everyone knew that Xu Ling liked to form cliques, but it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, so if the matter didn’t involve them, no one would say anything. Now that Xu Ling’s tendency to form cliques and Xu Ling’s ungrateful behavior was exposed by Yu Yan in public, the onlookers didn’t say anything on the surface, but they looked at Xu Ling with disdain.
After Yu Yan finished speaking, she looked at the people who had lent her money and said angrily, “How many of you have eaten my food before? I’m just a little late, but you guys keep urging me. Did I refuse to return the money?”
Yu Yan didn’t have to worry about food and clothing in the past, so she was indeed quite lavish.
Of course, she did this mainly to enjoy everyone’s envious gazes, but no matter what, she did give a lot of food to most intellectuals.
Therefore, when everyone heard Yu Yan’s words, they felt a little embarrassed. After all, they had received things from her.
When Xu Ling saw that Yu Yan had ruined her reputation, she naturally couldn’t let the matter rest. She was a little angry after being exposed, so she shouted, “Yu Yan! Don’t slander me!”
Yu Yan had exposed her, so Xu Ling had to return the favor. Since Yu Yan ruined her reputation, she had to suffer as well!
Xu Ling criticized her again. “Don’t you yourself know best why you gave everyone food?”
“It was only after Mr. Wu took the Village Chief position that you had no choice but to go to the field yourself. Before this, you didn’t work that much! You paid people to clean up the dormitory and work in the field! As for the food that you occasionally shared with everyone, it’s just hush money! Don’t be such a hypocrite.”
Yu Bing’s eyes lit up. Just as she was wondering where the breakthrough point was, Xu Ling took the initiative to mention it.
Xu Ling exposed Yu Yan’s dirty laundry once again, making Yu Yan so angry that she picked up the broom and hit Xu Ling. After dodging the attack, Xu Ling wanted to hit her back.
Seeing this, Yu Bing couldn’t ignore it anymore and shouted with a frown, “Hurry up and separate the two of them! How can you guys fight in public?!”
The boys separated the two of them, preventing another fight from breaking out.
Yu Bing looked at the two people who were bickering and said in derision, “Didn’t you guys claim to be cultured city dwellers?”
Seeing that no one was speaking, Yu Bing paused for a moment before continuing, “I already understand the situation. Since the two of you failed to reach a peaceful settlement, I can’t hide or ignore this incident. Yu Yan, objectively speaking, since your actions back then were done with ulterior motives, there’s no need to use them to ask for favors now…”
Yu Yan had deliberately argued with Xu Ling to divert everyone’s attention just now, but Yu Bing directly exposed that she had ulterior motives.
Yu Yan thought of her incompatible relationship with Yu Bing and knew that she couldn’t let her continue, so she interrupted Yu Bing. “Yu Bing, everyone knows that our relationship is not good. I have reason to suspect that you’re using your position to take revenge and slander me! I know that I owe everyone money, but I’ve never denied it. I’m already here. Are you guys afraid that I’ll run away or something?”
When the debt collectors heard this, their expressions softened.
Now that the matter had blown up, everyone knew that Yu Yan had borrowed their money, so they were not afraid that she would go back on her word. In this place where they had to have permission even when they went out of town, Yu Yan couldn’t escape even if she wanted to.
