Lingering at Yu Haiyang and Su Xue, the man’s gaze returned to Su Jin. His tone was aloof, “Have you seen the shocking news from a while ago?”
Su Jin nodded.
Seeing the puzzled look on her face, the man explained, “This woman—Su Xue—is wicked, vile, and evil. After hooking up with your man, she had to get rid of my little brother. Do you know what she did? She told everyone my little brother was a gigolo, and they beat him up ’till he was too injured to recover.”
Shoot—it can’t be. “Hold on,” Su Jin typed, “So your brother is…”!!
Eyes bloodshot, he glared at Su Xue with his teeth clenched. “Lin Xiang.”
Su Jin was stunned. Lin Xiang had been Su Xue’s lapdog and sidekick in Su Jin’s past life. He dragged Su Xue to hell altogether. Yet, Su Xue had kept him hidden and well protected, unlike what happened currently. So did she hit him too hard with the desk lamp the other day he got into a coma?
While the man spoke to Su Jin, Su Xue had already planned out how to make a break for it. Heh. She’d teach her a lesson.
Knee to the ground, she broke into tears, “Hear me out, mister. I’m innocent. It wasn’t me! I was one of the victims too!”
“Heh. You? One of the Four Bright Young Artistes? Who are you trying to fool here?”
“I’m a celebrity—age isn’t just a number to us. I can’t date anyone without my agency’s permission, which means I don’t have a boyfriend. Why would I hurt your brother?” Su Xue paused, pointing her finger at Su Jin. “This is all her fault. She did it.”
Yu Haiyang’s face clouded over. It reminded him of how the mute girl had poisoned his arm, that it had turned black. No way she was as innocent as she seemed.
Su Jin flinched. F*ck—she was too careless. Seconds ago, the last thing on her mind was Lin Xiang still being in a coma since she’d hit him—perhaps she would head to the hospital and help him out someday.
All the thugs shifted their attention to Su Jin, who looked too harmless. “Impossible. We saw your face on the news!”
Su Xue shook her head. “Honestly, the mute’s a distant cousin of mine. My father passed away when I was little, so I stayed with her family. She was the one who got drunk and hit your brother. She didn’t want the blame, so she got me as the scapegoat without my knowing. I was scared. I was only lodging in their family, and I didn’t want them to chase me away. So I took the fall.” Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, and it was heartbreaking to watch.
“No one knows what I’m going through. Receiving death threats and cyberbullying—I thought of ending my life, too. I don’t have the strength to go on any longer.”
Yu Haiyang huddled with her as he patted her back gently, giving her comfort. “Don’t worry, Xue. I believe in you. I’ll clear your name.”
Su Jin’s lips twitch involuntary at Su Xue’s splendid, Oscar-nominating acting. She regretted coming there to save the ungrateful jerk whom the beauty had enchanted.
Yu Haiyang supported Su Xue—who was still whimpering—to stand up, eyes determined, “You’ve all heard it. Su Xue never hurt your brother. It was the mute girl! Make way. We’re leaving.”
“I’m done being her fall guy,” Su Xue added. “From now on, she’ll atone for her mistakes..”
