CHAPTER 161: CHAPTER 161: DOG BITES DOG

"Oh, when? Was it during the day or at night?"

Gu Yi smiled slightly, asking unhurriedly.

"At night. I went out to handle some matters this morning, and when I came back, you had already left."

Seeing Gu Yiyi’s calm demeanor, the person felt nervous inside but tried to maintain composure.

"Oh, so you stayed at my place last night. Qianqian, did you see him last night?"

Gu Yi was still smiling, turning to look at Ye Qian.

"Sister-in-law, who is this person? Clearly, it was just the two of us at home last night. How can this person say he was there?"

Ye Qian, catching Gu Yi’s gaze, quickly stepped forward and spoke.

"Let me introduce everyone to my sister-in-law, Ye Qian, Ye Hao’s sister. I believe she wouldn’t cover for me."

After speaking, Gu Yi looked back at the person in front of him.

The person was immediately stunned.

He hadn’t expected there to be someone else in Gu Yi’s house.

Everyone understood now.

"This person is obviously here to frame someone, didn’t even do his homework."

"Yeah, it’s despicable to ruin someone’s reputation for no reason."

People started defending Gu Yi from the sidelines.

"No, Yiyi, are you afraid of what Ye Hao might do to you? Don’t worry, I’ll protect you."

The person continued to act tough.

"Stop pretending here. Aren’t you the one having an affair with Li Dongxiang? Now you’re helping her to harm Gu Yi."

Unexpectedly, a voice shouted from the crowd.

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw that it was Chen Jun’s mother.

Now everyone was confused.

Logically, a mother-in-law should keep this kind of thing hidden, not shout it out in public.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Li Dongxiang, who was just enjoying the spectacle, didn’t expect the topic to suddenly shift to her.

And the person who brought it up was her own mother-in-law.

"Why would I lie about this? It’s bad enough to cheat behind Junzi’s back, now you’re conspiring with others to frame Gu Yi."

Chen Jun’s mother acted as if she was very angry.

"Mom, can you speak with some conscience?"

Although Li Dongxiang knew her mother-in-law didn’t like her, she never expected her to falsely accuse her like this.

"How am I not speaking with conscience? If you hadn’t gone too far, would I do this? Ask anyone standing there if what I’m saying isn’t true."

Chen Jun’s mother directly shifted the attention to that ruffian.

Following her words, everyone looked at the person outside.

The person, after being stunned for a moment, decided to go along with what Chen Jun’s mother said.

The situation was very unfavorable for him now.

He couldn’t deceive Gu Yi anymore.

Seeing Ye Hao standing there angrily, he decided it was better to shift his anger toward Li Dongxiang.

After all, she had treated him like that last time.

"Dongxiang, I’m sorry, things messed up."

The person feigned an apologetic look towards Li Dongxiang.

Everyone turned their attention to Li Dongxiang again.

"Why are you saying this? When did we ever have a relationship? You’re falsely accusing me. Who put you up to this, was it Yang Lin, or you, Gu Yi?"

Li Dongxiang angrily pointed at Gu Yi.

Ye Hao immediately stood in front of Gu Yi, blocking the way between her and Li Dongxiang.

"Is it you, my mother-in-law?"

Li Dongxiang glared fiercely at Chen Jun’s mother.

Suddenly, Chen Jun rushed out from the crowd and slapped Li Dongxiang hard.

"I’ve had enough of you, cheating behind my back and abusing my mom while I’m not home. I want a divorce today, even if it means giving up my military career, I won’t stay with you any longer."

After yelling, Chen Jun squatted down, holding his head and sobbing.

People nearby watched the scene unfold and began to feel sympathy for Chen Jun.

Chen Jun’s mother went up to hold his head.

"My poor son, ruining your future for this kind of woman isn’t worth it. She was in the wrong first. How could the military punish you? That leadership is simply heartless."

Chen Jun’s mother wailed loudly.

Gu Yi found the scene in front of her rather amusing.

These people really wasted their acting skills by not pursuing careers in drama.

It seemed that her words to Chen Jun’s mother last time had indeed worked.

Moreover, the person in front of her had probably accepted benefits from both Yang Lin and Chen Jun’s mother.

Seeing that he couldn’t harm her, he pushed Li Dongxiang forward instead.

That probably fulfilled Chen Jun’s mother’s request.

"Auntie, don’t be too upset, the military will surely understand."

"Yes, indeed, having done such things, she has completely shamed military families. How can she still have the face to stay in the military community?"

People started offering words of comfort to Chen Jun and his family.

They also began condemning Li Dongxiang.

Seeing that all the attention was now on Li Dongxiang, the man thought he might return the favor for the fifty dollars he received and do a good deed.

He stepped forward and grabbed Li Dongxiang’s hand.

"Dongxiang, it’s all exposed now, just come with me. I’ll treat you well for the rest of my life."

Li Dongxiang flung his hand away.

"Get lost, you bastard, you want to frame me? Not a chance. Weren’t you the one Yang Lin hired to ruin Gu Yi’s reputation? Now you’re turning on me. Was it that old woman who paid you?"

Li Dongxiang seemed to finally understand.

Chen Jun’s earlier slap was a rush to convict her.

"Dongxiang, are you mad at me for not completing the task you gave me?"

The man continued to act deeply regretful and affectionate.

"Stop putting on a show, aren’t you just a thug? You want to ruin me, too? Aren’t you the one I called to inform Yang Lin that Gu Yi returned to the military? That’s why she had you come over today, right?"

Li Dongxiang decided to risk everything.

She thought, was it Yang Lin trying to ruin her just because she often asked for money?

Her mind was in chaos, unable to sort things out.

Even if Yang Lin didn’t intend to harm her, it was Yang Lin who brought the person over.

If worse comes to worst, they could all perish together.

"Ye Hao, Yang Lin’s goal with these actions is to drive Gu Yi away so she can have you for herself."

With those words, Li Dongxiang started to laugh aloud.

She hadn’t expected that, while she was plotting against Gu Yi, her own spouse would plot against her.

"Li Dongxiang, stop diverting everyone’s attention. You’re just trying to exonerate yourself."

Chen Jun’s mother, holding Chen Jun, said to Li Dongxiang.

"You old hag, why don’t you just die? Everything is because of you. Ever since you came, my good days have been over."

Combining old and new grudges, Li Dongxiang charged at Chen Jun’s mother and grabbed her by the neck.

Since Chen Jun’s mother was squatting, she had no strength to resist when Li Dongxiang charged over.

She was pressed down to the ground by Li Dongxiang.

Ye Hao stopped everyone, urging them to step back.

He didn’t want Gu Yi and the others to accidentally get hurt.

Li Dongxiang seemed really enraged.

Before anyone could react, they saw that Chen Jun’s mother began to roll her eyes.

Hearing something wrong, Chen Jun quickly looked up.

Seeing his mother being choked, he hurried to pry Li Dongxiang’s hands away.

The small-time thug saw things going bad and slipped away amidst the chaos.
