Chapter 225: Chapter 152: Someone’s Always After Another Man’s Wife

A few people were chatting, and they were really getting into it.

"Sigh, I have no idea what terrible deeds Teacher Xiao must have done in a past life to end up with a family like that. If his girlfriend were anyone but Yan Xici—literally any other woman—he wouldn’t be getting dragged through the mud like this."

"Yeah, I think Teacher Xiao is the most handsome teacher in our school!"

The more they talked, the more worked up they got.

But they never would have guessed that Yan Xici was standing right at the door, hearing every single word.

She swallowed hard, her expression tense.

Just then, her classmate Wang Kai had just reached the corner of the hallway.

He was heading toward the classroom when he looked up and saw Yan Xici standing at the entrance.

He paused for a moment, but quickly walked over.

Wang Kai was a rich kid; his family was in the hotel business.

His father owned five-star hotels in several cities.

Banking on his wealth and decent looks, he had won the hearts of quite a few girls at school.

He’d actually had his eye on Yan Xici before, but unfortunately, the girl was completely unresponsive.

Every time they chatted, it would either end with her not replying or claiming she was going to take a shower.

She always acted so cold and aloof.

So, it just fizzled out.

A few years had passed since then. Unexpectedly, he’d been seeing her videos frequently these past few days.

And yesterday, she had outright admitted to being with her brother-in-law.

Honestly, shocking as it was...

...he still felt a little impressed.

After all, plenty of people would dare to do something like that, but very few would dare to admit it.

Seeing her like this, a strange sense of heroism welled up inside him.

He strode over, patted Yan Xici’s shoulder, and asked, "Are you okay?"

The girl was startled by the sudden touch. She instinctively took two steps back and said, "I’m fine!"

’We can just talk. Why did he have to pat me?’

Hearing their voices, many of the gossiping students turned to look. When Wu Hui saw Wang Kai standing next to Yan Xici,

she was so angry she could have spit.

Seeing the guy she liked standing with the girl she hated was a truly infuriating sight.

Wu Hui leaned back in her seat and said snidely, "Well, if it isn’t the innocent little flower who’s with her brother-in-law. What’s the matter? Didn’t your brother-in-law drive you to school?"

Hearing this, the classmate next to her subconsciously tugged on Wu Hui’s clothes, signaling for her to shut up.

After all, gossiping behind someone’s back was already a bad look.

They were just chatting for fun, but saying things like this to her face was taking it too far.

Having been classmates for three years, everyone actually had a good sense of Yan Xici’s character.

She wasn’t a malicious person. As for her relationship with Teacher Xiao, while it was shocking, they didn’t really bear her any ill will.

Naturally, they didn’t want to make the situation ugly.

Wu Hui glared defiantly at the girl next to her. "What are you scared of? She’s not afraid of being talked about, so why are you so worried?"

Then, she fixed a cold stare on Yan Xici. "Isn’t that right, you innocent little flower?"

’So soft and weak, pretending to be harmless, but she just goes around hurting people. Wasn’t it because of her ’masterful move’ that I ended up with the class president position she ’gave’ to me?’

’A person like that... If I don’t call her out now, am I supposed to save it for New Year’s?’

Yan Xici couldn’t believe it. It was one thing for this person to talk behind her back, but to say such nasty things to her face was another.

She pressed her lips together, her eyes glaring resentfully at Wu Hui. "Could you please watch your mouth!"

After all, she wasn’t the type who was good at arguing.

Wu Hui sneered. "Which ear did you hear me curse you with? You must have a guilty conscience."

"You don’t have to like me, but please don’t spread rumors. I’ve already explained this. Brother Xiao Ran was my former brother-in-law, that’s true, but we only got together after they divorced!"

’He’s not my brother-in-law anymore. Saying things like that is so irresponsible!’

’And it misleads people.’

Yan Xici glared furiously at the girl across from her.

"Look at that innocent face. I almost believed you."

Wu Hui was still sneering.

Yan Xici felt her head buzzing with anger.

’I’ve already explained it so many times. Xiao Ran and my sister are no longer together. I only got with him after they divorced.’

’Why do people keep spreading rumors? I’m not a homewrecker!’

’And Xiao Ran didn’t cheat on her for me!’

She was about to say more when she heard Wang Kai’s cool voice from behind her. "You should show some decency. It’s rude to gossip so openly about other people’s business."

After speaking, he glanced at Wu Hui, then turned and walked toward a seat in the back.

Wu Hui never expected Wang Kai to actually speak up for Yan Xici.

She was seething with indignation.

But out of respect for Wang Kai, she couldn’t say anything more and had to swallow her words.

At that moment, Si Yingying also rushed in from outside. Seeing the scene, she frowned, hurried over, and shot Wu Hui a harsh glare.

Only then did she take Yan Xici’s hand and lead her toward a seat at the front.

"I was having a great chat with Zhang Chuan yesterday, so I woke up a bit late today." After explaining, Si Yingying couldn’t help but ask with concern, "How are you? Were they giving you a hard time just now?"

"It’s nothing," the girl said, shaking her head.

’It wasn’t really a ’hard time,’ they just don’t like me.’

’But then again, you can’t please everyone. That’s normal.’
