As soon as these words came out, the room immediately started to have heated discussions:

"No way, Jin Mingzhu doesn't seem like that kind of person!"

"She and Xu Yang have always been good friends. Why did she leave without mercy when Xu Yang got into trouble while trying to save her?"

"Women have the most vicious hearts!" a boy said judgmentally.

The female classmate who just narrated this said meaningfully:

"Jin Mingzhu was originally quite pretty, and Senior Brother Xu Yang had a law firm at that time, and he even bought her a house in Beijing, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. After Senior Brother got into trouble, she naturally refused to follow him anymore."

Someone seemed to remember something and continued to add:

"I once met Jin Mingzhu in a shopping mall. She bought a lot of expensive things, and the nanny could hardly carry them all. So, she must have married a rich man."

"Hahahaha" the girl who had disliked Jin Mingzhu before laughed at her.

"She is just from an ordinary family. Rich people only care about matching up with each other. How could they be interested in her? She must have hooked up with a rich old man."

"I don't know, should she call this old man dad or husband?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room burst into laughter. The most disgusting thing about human nature is that they want to see those who are high and mighty fall into the mud, so that they can laugh at them and show off their own nobility.

Jin Mingzhu felt speechless. She wondered how Gu Huaijin would feel if he knew that in the eyes of these classmates, he was just an old man half buried in the earth.

She was about to knock on the door and face the rumors head-on. She was never afraid of gossip.

Qi Qiao pushed the door open before her and said loudly:

"Who are you talking about others here? Can you please have some shame?"

When everyone in the room saw Qi Qiao coming, they were about to scold her for meddling in other people's business, but when their eyes fell on Jin Mingzhu behind them, they all fell silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward. Jin Mingzhu looked up and saw that the person who had just led the public opinion was Song Yan, who was in the next department and had a conflict with her.

Qi Qiao walked up to Song Yan and said sarcastically:

"Song Yan, did you go out without brushing your teeth today? Why are you accusing others without any evidence?"

Song Yan finally managed to pull one back, and she showed no sign of weakness:

"Why? She dares to do it, but is she afraid of what others will say?"

"Jin Mingzhu is a bitch, the modern Pan Jinlian. Fortunately, Senior Brother Xu Yang treated her so well, but she turned out to be a slut." Song Yan said even more aggressively.

Qi Qiao showed no mercy to Jin Mingzhu and slapped Song Yan in the face:

"Bitch, you're still spreading rumors here!"

Seeing that things had gotten out of hand, everyone in the room hurriedly pulled the two apart. Qi Qiao relentlessly kicked Song Yan hard on the waist several times, causing the other party to bend over and groan.

Jin Mingzhu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qi Qiao, shook her head at her, and signaled her not to make a big deal out of it.

Qi Qiao felt sad for Jin Mingzhu when she thought about the injustice she suffered. It would have been fine if Xu Yang didn't know, but these nobody dared to talk about her.

"Mingzhu, don't worry about it! I'm going to tear this bitch's mouth to pieces today. I'll see who dares to say anything else!"

Seeing Qi Qiao defending Jin Mingzhu so fiercely, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became dead silent.

Jin Mingzhu felt a little warm in her heart. She held Qi Qiao's hand, looked around at everyone, and said loudly:

"This is my own business. I don't want it to become a topic of conversation. If I hear it again, I will track it down."

She gently turned the ring in her hand and said self-deprecatingly:

"You all said that I married a rich old man with power and influence. Be careful that I will force you to live in Beijing."

Seeing that she said it so easily, everyone in the room looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Soon, someone came forward to approach:

"Mingzhu, we were wrong. I apologize to you."

Others chimed in. Jin Mingzhu waved her hands irritably.

At this moment, a contemptuous voice came from the door:

"Jin Mingzhu, why don't you bring your powerful husband to us?"

She was stunned for a moment. This was Lin Lang's voice. He had always been with Xu Yang. If he was there, then Xu Yang must be...

Jin Mingzhu had never made such a devout wish before. She couldn't help but pray that Xu Yang didn't come.

A gentle yet slightly angry voice sounded beside her ears. She had heard it countless times and it was so familiar to her:

"Lin Lang, you are not allowed to talk about her like that!"

Everything around her stopped in place. Jin Mingzhu turned around stiffly and saw him.

Xu Yang still looked as gentle as jade, and the look he gave her was full of restrained love and a hint of confusion. When he saw his beloved woman again, his eyes instantly turned red.

Jin Mingzhu didn't dare to look at him again and lowered her head. Qi Qiao held her hand tightly to give her strength.

Lin Lang was so angry that he looked Jin Mingzhu up and down, his tone full of sarcasm:

"A woman like this doesn't deserve you to treat her like this."

Xu Yang stood between Lin Lang and Jin Mingzhu, and looked at Lin Lang with a warning in his eyes:

"Lin Lang, this is a matter between us. She is not the kind of person you said she was!"

"Okay!" Seeing that Xu Yang was still stubborn, Lin Lang walked aside angrily.

Jin Mingzhu took this opportunity, took the bag, walked quickly to the door, and whispered:

"Everyone, I'm not feeling well, so I'm leaving now."

"Mingzhu!" Qi Qiao called her from behind.

Xu Yang moved even faster, and the moment she ran out by the side, he ran after her.

All the people in the room were left watching the golden boy and jade girl as if they were watching a play. It seemed that their entanglement was not as simple as Song Yan said.

Jin Mingzhu pressed the elevator button and the elevator slowly went down. Xu Yang missed it, opened the fire escape on the side, and ran down in two steps.

Even though he was slow-witted, he could see that Jin Mingzhu was deliberately avoiding him. He refused to believe that they had loved each other so much, and that Jin Mingzhu would give up so easily and marry someone else in such a short time.

"Xiao Xiao!" Xu Yang ran from the sixth floor to the first floor and saw Jin Mingzhu's figure disappearing in the hotel lobby.

She heard Xu Yang's call, but she didn't dare to answer, and couldn't answer. She just anxiously stopped a car on the side of the road, hoping to get rid of Xu Yang's pursuit.

Jin Mingzhu stretched out her hand to stop a car, and a passing driver waved to her, indicating that the car was full.

Seeing Xu Yang getting closer and closer to her, Jin Mingzhu became anxious, and the moment the green light came on, she quickly ran across the street.

A driver who ran a yellow light rushed over and saw her figure and had no time to avoid her, so he shouted.

Jin Mingzhu was frightened by the speeding car, her thoughts stopped and she froze in place.

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands embraced her, held her tightly in the arms, and held her in the opposite direction of the car. The two of them fell on the zebra crossing.

Her thoughts left her body, and she looked up to see the blue sky of Beijing City, with a solid embrace beneath her. Xu Yang held her arms with some concern, and asked anxiously:

"Xiao Xiao, are you okay?"
