Chapter 103 -103 Public Apology? Dream on!
Chen Li asked impatiently, “Waiting for who?”
She had always been the one people waited for; when had she ever waited for anyone?
“Song Henian,” Lu Xining replied coldly.
Chen Li’s face changed slightly, a hint of anticipation flickered in her eyes, but she still managed to present herself with an aloof and superior air.
Lu Xining didn’t expose her and quietly continued waiting.

The blonde-haired woman and her friends were growing impatient. Their husbands were quite wealthy but particularly cared about face. If they knew their wives were at the police station now, they would certainly have a fierce reaction when they got home.
“Why are you still waiting for someone? Hurry up and sort this out, I need to get home to sleep with my little prince.”
“This is just a matter between you, the legitimate partner, and the mistress; what’s the use of keeping us here?”
“If you’re afraid of gossip, you shouldn’t be seducing someone else’s fiancé in the first place!”
Yu You furrowed her brows and said frankly, “According to the relevant laws of our country, spreading rumors and slandering to damage someone’s reputation is an illegal act, with severe cases…”
Hearing her words, the blonde and her friend looked at each other, feeling somewhat guilty, but then they heard Chen Li scoff.
The blonde’s eyes lit up, and she immediately said, “The concerned party is right here; she can prove we haven’t spread any rumors or slander! Li Zi, everything in your video is true, right?”
Chen Li: “Of course, what I said is the truth. This woman seduced my fiancé! And she’s been tricking money and assets, shameless!”
Lu Xining lifted her crow-feather-like long lashes, her calm gaze slowly turning to look at her.
Chen Li glared back fiercely.
Lu Xining: “Is Song Henian really your fiancé?”
Chen Li: “If he’s not mine, could he be yours?! Shameless women seem to be on the rise!”
Lu Xining: “If he’s not, I will hold the Chen Family accountable for this debt.”
Chen Li: “Heh—hold the Chen Family accountable? You’ll need the ability to do so first!”
Finally, Song Henian, who had rushed from the airport, arrived.
As soon as he pushed the door open and entered, his anxious gaze immediately began searching for Lu Xining’s figure, and seeing she was unharmed, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
Then, he sat down next to her, and in doing so, he created a clear divide between himself and Chen Li.
His posture made clear where he stood; he was on Lu Xining’s side.
Chen Li clenched her dress, anger in her voice as she said to the man opposite her, “Song Henian, you are currently my fiancé, how can you sit next to this mistress! Does Uncle Song know about this?!”
Song Henian’s sentimental peach-blossom eyes were filled with indifference, “Chen Li, I am not your fiancé, don’t spread false accusations.”
False accusations?
He actually considered being her fiancé, Chen Li, a slander!
Chen Li: “Song Henian!”
The man did not soften at all, despite her teary eyes at this moment.
Just seeing those vile comments under Chen Li’s video—cursing his parents, wishing ill on his offspring—Song Henian could not suppress the anger pounding in his chest.
“I was not aware of the last family gathering; to put it accurately, I was deceived into going. If I had known it was a matchmaking dinner, I wouldn’t have attended even if it killed me.”
“And I made it clear to you that day, I have someone I love.”
“While I am single, pursuing the girl I’ve loved for ten years, may I ask what the problem is?”
“As for you, making unfounded claims about our relationship in the video and defaming the girl I love as a mistress, I will definitely investigate these two matters thoroughly!”
Song Henian’s expression grew colder as he spoke, his gaze at Chen Li devoid of warmth.
Meanwhile, at the mention of “the girl I’ve loved for ten years,” Lu Xining’s eyes flickered with puzzlement as she looked at him.
Song Henian, speaking too quickly and too urgently, hadn’t noticed that he had unintentionally revealed his heartfelt secret.
Or perhaps he knew, and this was simply an opportunity to divulge the secret buried in his heart for a decade.
Chen Li, stung by his words, turned pale.
The other three women, who had been loudly cursing Lu Xining as a mistress, all widened their eyes in shock, rooted to the spot.
“So, he’s not your fiancé after all…”
“Isn’t this spreading rumors? Even if you’re a social media influencer with a million followers, you can’t just lie with your eyes wide open, right? Isn’t this intentionally misleading netizens and bullying me?”
Lu Xining remained unphased by the sudden turnaround of the blonde trio.
Staring at Chen Li across from her, who was so angry her eyes were red, Lu Xining’s voice was cool, “Miss Chen, do you have anything else to explain?”
Chen Li, her chest heaving with fury, struggled to form words for a while.
Lu Xining: “Since you have nothing to say, then I will.”
“I don’t care what your relationship with Song Henian is, but it’s a fact that you’ve used the internet to spread rumors and stir up trouble, which has greatly impacted my life. I have the right to hold you accountable for your actions.”
Chen Li gave her a disdainful glance, not taking her threats seriously at all, confident that her father could fix anything.
Lu Xining saw the meaning in the bottom of her eyes.
To these rich heiresses who had been spoiled from childhood, perhaps they didn’t even understand the meaning of the word “accountability.”
If that’s the case, she certainly wouldn’t hold back.
How could one feel the fear of near death without having a knife held to their own major artery?
Chen Li’s confidence stemmed from her family’s wealth. What if her father went bankrupt and became penniless?
Lu Xining said, “I’ll give you three days to publicly apologize to me online. If you can’t do it within three days, I will let you know what ‘suffering the consequences for one’s words’ really means.”
She glanced again at the blonde trio.
Not one dared to meet her gaze, all of them guiltily looked away.
“Can’t blame us, who asked her to send out such a misleading video?”
“Exactly, we were just sticking up for women!”
“Worst case, we won’t talk about it anymore, and you shouldn’t hold it against us. Our kids go to the same kindergarten, after all.”
Yu You looked on with interest, noticing that Lu Xining hadn’t stated her demands more clearly, which indicated she had other plans. She was excited to see the faces of those who would be slapped by reality after finalizing some matters with the lawyer.
As Chen Li left the mediation room with her handbag, her high heels clacked noisily.
Watching her departing figure, Lu Xining knew she would definitely not apologize easily, perhaps even taking more rash actions.
And Lu Xining wanted exactly that—her impulsiveness.
As Chen Li reached the door, she scoffed, “Threatening me? As if she thinks she’s anyone special!”
She immediately took out her phone to call Mr. Chen, “Dad, you must stand up for me!”
“Sob sob, I’m at the police station. Song Henian, my supposed fiancé, is actually siding with that mistress! I don’t care, I want this mistress to be completely ruined!”
Thinking of what the blonde woman had said, Chen Li’s smile turned sinister, “That mistress’s child goes to a private kindergarten in Jingzhou, Dad. Isn’t your friend the principal there? I want her child to be unable to attend school, to feel ashamed because their mother is a mistress!”
An apology? Dream on!
Reassured by Mr. Chen’s soothing words, Chen Li immediately called her circle of friends.
“Do you know the ex-wife of the president of Shi’an Group? Got any photos? Don’t worry, I’ll keep it secret. Don’t you like that rare platinum Birkin bag? I’ll have someone send it over to you in a bit.”
“If you really like it, why would the Ji Family even think of divorce? Maybe they’ll thank me for teaching her a lesson. That matter with your brother—I’ll help out, just send me those photos.”
Sitting in the car after several phone calls, Chen Li finally allowed a smile to cross her face.
However, upon seeing Lu Xining and Song Henian standing together at the entrance from a distance, her expression immediately darkened again.
“Xining, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
“Don’t worry, I will handle this situation properly and won’t let Chen Li hurt you and the child again.”
Song Henian was sincere, concern filling his eyes.
Lu Xining looked up directly and asked him, “Song Henian, do you like me?”
