Chapter 120: Chapter 118: Bai Cuicui’s Malicious Mind

The girl who had claimed to earn ten thousand a month suddenly reached out to grab Zhang Wenliang’s arm.

They had originally planned on playing the long game, taking things slow.

But just now, when Zhang Wenliang started to walk away with Wen Ying, and coupled with the rumors from their families, they had begun to panic. If any of them could latch onto Zhang Wenliang, their entire family would rise with him.

They had to succeed, even if it meant using extreme measures.

And that led to the current scene.

Zhang Wenliang froze, not knowing how to shake her off. Wen Ying stood to the side, also at a loss for words.

She understood the girl’s intentions at a single glance.

"Young lady, could you let go of Zhang Wenliang first?"

"What’s it to you!" Bai Cuicui shot back at Wen Ying, glaring at her with dissatisfaction.

’Just because she has a pretty face, does she really think she can steal my future away?’

"You’re Miss Cui Cui, correct? Do you really want me to expose your business?"

"My business? Go on, say it! You think Brother Wen Liang belongs only to you? He just said he’s not looking for a relationship, understand? You think we don’t know what your goal is?"

"You’ve been working away from home for two years. Why is it that you make ten thousand a month?"

"Because I’m capable, of course!" Bai Cuicui said proudly. Among this group, she earned the most money. She had the best chance!

"I know you. You just hang around your grandma’s run-down little clinic, right? You don’t get a single patient all day. You’re just trying to climb the social ladder with Brother Wen Liang, aren’t you? Let me tell you, it’s impossible! How can someone expect to get something for nothing!"

Bai Cuicui lectured Wen Ying smugly, even thinking her performance this time was excellent.

’This will let Zhang Wenliang see Wen Ying’s true colors!’

Wen Ying’s expression turned cold. "That gentleman you were ’accompanying’ last month, did you know he had a wife? Oh, right, you must have known. After all, his wife hired people to give you a beating. It must have hurt a lot, right?"

Bai Cuicui’s face changed drastically. "What nonsense are you spouting! I’m going to rip your mouth apart!"

Wen Ying took a step back to dodge. "And what about that Mr. Li from a few days ago? Didn’t he tell you he would marry you? He’s a widower, you don’t believe him? That’s a house in the city! And a city residence permit!"

"Oh my god! Cui Cui, what is she talking about? It can’t be true, can it? Is that how you got all that money?" As they spoke, the girls who had been standing together all backed away, distancing themselves from Bai Cuicui with disgust in their eyes.

"Cui Cui, I never thought you were this kind of person. We all love money, but we have standards! And you actually want Brother Wen Liang to be your fallback? How shameless!"

"Exactly, Cui Cui! How could you do something like that? And to think I was envious of you and wanted you to help me get rich too. I never thought... forget it. I’m not worthy. Don’t talk to me ever again. Just delete my contact!"

"I may not earn much, but at least my money is clean!"

Listening to her so-called good friends scorning her one by one, Bai Cuicui’s face turned deathly pale.

"Why are you listening to this woman’s nonsense? We’ve been friends for so many years, is our friendship not worth more than a few words from her?" Bai Cuicui’s heart was racing in panic. She couldn’t understand how this woman knew everything so clearly.

She was even afraid Wen Ying would reveal other things.

She would truly be ruined.

"Wen Ying, why are you trying to ruin me? How did I offend you?"

"Bai Cuicui, if you genuinely liked Zhang Wenliang, I wouldn’t have said anything. But you shouldn’t have been disrespectful to my grandmother, and you shouldn’t have plotted against Zhang Wenliang. He is the pride of Wenxiang Street, the one who can make a name for our street, understand? Yet you want to destroy him!"

Hearing Wen Ying’s words, everyone was a little confused.

’What does she mean by "destroy Zhang Wenliang"?’

"Wen Ying, that’s a bit much, isn’t it? She just wants to marry Brother Wen Liang, right?"

"Exactly! I like Brother Wen Liang. It’s obvious you’re just getting revenge on me, ruining my reputation! You’re so vicious! Brother Wen Liang, you need to see this woman for who she is. Even her face is probably fake!"

"But I heard from my grandma that Wen Ying seems to have inherited Grandma Wen’s skills. What she’s saying is probably true..."

"Bai Cuicui, it seems you’re completely unrepentant. You won’t admit you want to destroy Zhang Wenliang? Or do you think it’s a good thing for a top student from Qingbei University, someone who could make great contributions to the country in the future, to follow you and earn a few tens of thousands a month? You entered that line of work yourself, and you actually want to drag Wen Liang into it? He has a clean slate, understand?"

"I didn’t!" Bai Cuicui’s face flushed red, and she reacted like a cornered animal.

"You didn’t take that ten thousand yuan? You didn’t promise your client’s wife that you’d bring her a top student from Qingbei University? ’Handsome, talented, an absolute top-tier man’—haven’t you said those words? Or rather, haven’t you typed them out on your phone? Should I have you take out your phone to help you remember?"

"Cui Cui! You actually wanted to make Wen Liang do that kind of thing? You’ve gone too far!"

"We want to marry Wen Liang, but we never wanted to harm him. You’re truly despicable!"

"If you didn’t, then open your phone and show everyone your chat logs and transaction records. If there’s nothing there, we’ll apologize to you! We won’t even try to stop you from being with Brother Wen Liang!"

Zhang Wenliang was speechless. ’These people are unbelievable. What does any of this have to do with me?’

He just never thought that Bai Cuicui would actually...

’Any last shred of camaraderie from our childhood games is now completely gone!’ 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Bai Cuicui stood frozen, clutching her phone tightly in her hand.

"My phone is my private property! Why should I have to show it to you? You’re all going too far!"

"Cui Cui, if you act like this, how can we believe you?"

"Who needs you to believe me! I said I didn’t, so I didn’t! What ’sisters’! I don’t have friends like you! You all deserve to be poor for the rest of your lives!" Bai Cuicui turned and ran.

Everyone looked at Wen Ying, since she was the one who had said all these things, but her expression was placid, and she said nothing.

Zhang Wenliang also looked at Wen Ying. She smiled. "Aren’t you supposed to go on stage and give a speech? What are you still doing standing here?"

The other girls were still thinking about what had just happened with Bai Cuicui and had no desire to stay any longer.

’They had now witnessed Wen Ying’s capabilities. This was someone they didn’t dare to provoke. After all, who doesn’t have a few dark thoughts of their own?’

’If their secrets were exposed, how could they ever face anyone again?’

Bai Cuicui’s future was definitely not looking good. At the very least, she wouldn’t be able to stay in her hometown anymore.

It was hard to say if her family would go cause trouble for Wen Ying, but something was bound to happen.

As they left one by one, Zhang Wenliang felt a great sense of relief and looked at Wen Ying gratefully.

"Sister Wen Ying, what about the Bai Cuicui situation? Her parents will definitely come to make a scene. Should I have my parents come over then?"

After all, this matter was related to him, and Wen Ying had, in a way, saved him. Even though he would have rejected Bai Cuicui, he didn’t know what methods a person who had gone down the wrong path might use. He wasn’t sure if he would have fallen for it.
