Chapter 1046: Slander

She first opened the map, found the nearest internet cafe, quickly noted the route, then exited and messaged Yaen Chi.

Suddenly needing to cook, she didn’t have a specific menu in mind, so she thought of a few signature dishes and sent Yaen Chi the list of ingredients she needed.

“Is it her?”

“Seems like it, ah, how does she still have the face to go out?

If I were her, I’d have hid away at home long ago.”

“Wasn’t it cleared up?

Didn’t you see the later news?”

“I saw it, so what?

Flies don’t bother seamless eggs.

She’s no good herself.

Why else would so many nurses in the hospital zero in on her?”

“The way she ran out of the office, tsk tsk, her clothes were almost off.

What’s the point of covering up?”

At first, Ye Wanting didn’t pay attention, but the more she listened, the more something felt off.

Those people saw her with her head down, assuming she was just pretending to look at her phone to hide her embarrassment.

Seeing she was alone made them bolder, their voices just short of speaking directly into her ear.

Ye Wanting looked up, meeting the gaze of one of them.

“What are you looking at?

We’re talking about you, shameless thing!”

Ye Wanting’s face turned pale, “What do you mean?”

“Oh, you’re asking?

Can’t you read the news yourself?

What are you pretending for?”

Her heart sank, and she quickly opened her phone.

At that moment, she felt thunderstruck.

How could this be?

How did she end up trending?

Why did the hospital’s surveillance leak, and why was she written about so poorly?

Ye Wanting couldn’t stand, her eyes blurred, a hazy layer covering her sight.

Suddenly someone pushed her, leaving her mind blank.

The noise and yelling filled her ears.

As if she were so disgraceful.

Ye Wanting wiped away her tears and grabbed a hand reaching out to her.

The owner, a girl, was startled.

“What are you doing!

Are you going to fight?”

“You were the one who pushed me, weren’t you?”

The girl, being stared at, felt guilty and trembled as she spoke, “I did, so what?”

“What right did you have to push me?” Ye Wanting asked.

The girl stiffened her neck, defiantly, “I pushed you, then I did, who told you to do such shameless things!

Afraid of being talked about after doing them?”

Ye Wanting said, “You can talk, but you must stick to the facts, why do you blindly believe the slanderous news before, but ignore the clarifications after?

Are you blind, can’t see them?”

“You…”

“I saw it.

If you hadn’t tried to seduce someone…”

“Which eye of yours saw me seducing?”

The girl’s friend wanted to chime in, but Ye Wanting didn’t give them the chance.

“What are any of you to me?

I’m the victim, yet you’re maligning me with your mouths.

Public provocation can be fined or result in detention of up to 15 days.

If there’s insult, interception, or intimidation, should I pursue it fully, it carries a sentence of up to five years in prison, I ask you!”

Ye Wanting took a deep breath, “Slandering with no evidence, can I legally hold you accountable?”

“You… you…”

“We’re just saying what the news said…”

“Is it true?” Ye Wanting’s eyes turned red, tears stubbornly staying at bay.

Though her appearance was gentle and her demeanor not aggressive, her teary challenge, one word at a time, stunned them all.

“You… why are you so fierce?”

The girl’s companion pulled the girl’s hand back, not daring to say more, wanting to glare at Ye Wanting, but lacking the courage, they slipped away pitifully.
