Chapter 509: Chapter 349 I don’t care, you must compensate me_1

Shen Yunsi never expected this group of so-called fans to confront her with a picture of Mo Shiting in public. The audacity drove her up the wall.

What should she say in response?

Admit that he was her ex-boyfriend?

That was blatantly false, and she might end up being proven wrong right away.

And if she denied it, how could she later hype up the romance of a childhood sweethearts, make others believe that Gu Li was the third party, and fight for Mo Shiting?

No, she couldn’t let Gu Li gain the upper hand. She had to make everyone hold onto the notion that she and Mo Shiting were the perfect pair.

Think about this, Shen Yunsi quickly put on a look of devastation and asked resentfully: “Do you guys… have to keep poking at this old wound of mine? Is it enjoyable for you to rub salt into someone else’s wound?”

Such a heartfelt question left the entire room silent.

The crowd looked at one another, forgetting how to react.

Gu Li concealed an amused smile. She could not help but admire Shen Yunsi’s masterful manipulation.

Amazing!

Neither admitting nor denying it, yet it was quite clear that she, Shen Yunsi, was the victim in this love game.

Wasn’t Professor Shen the most clever manipulator?

These loyal fans might now believe even more that Mo Shiting was her ex-boyfriend.

Even if Shen Yunsi denied it immediately, they would just think she was covering up for the jerk…

Gu Li guessed correctly. “Shen’s fans” got even angrier when they saw Shen Yunsi’s heartbroken look.

This time, not only the students from other majors, but several female students from the Architecture Department also couldn’t help but throw in their two cents.

“Gu Li, you are so brazen as a mistress. Probably, you are the first student in history who stole your own teacher’s boyfriend.”

“How shameless of you! Go apologize to Professor Shen now!”

“Gu Li, apologize to Professor Shen, and promise that you will leave that man. If not, don’t come back to the Architecture Department.”

“Do you have any shame? How dare you snatch away Professor Shen’s man?”

…

Among the girls mocking Gu Li, half of them disapproved of being the mistress, but most of them were motivated by jealousy.

Before Gu Li joined the architecture department, they were prized possessions of the department. But after Gu Li arrived, the title belonged to her; the boys’ attention was all on Gu Li and they had no place to stand.

They had long been annoyed by Gu Li, but there had been no appropriate opportunity to attack her. Today, when Gu Li shamelessly acted like a mistress and stole their beloved professor’s boyfriend, they seized the opportunity to attack her all at once.

In the blink of an eye, the classroom became chaotic, with at least one-third of the students cursing at Gu Li.

And the others?

Most of them remained neutral and watched the commotion without taking sides. The rest of the students who liked Gu Li, naturally defended her fervently, retorting back on her behalf.

Xiang Xiaoyue, who was part of the defense team, had long seen through Shen Yunsi’s intentions. She confronted Shen while cursing her and ran towards the podium to grab the microphone.

“Everyone, quiet down!”

“I have something important to say!”

Her voice, serious and amplified by the microphone, overpowered the noise and echoed across the classroom and attracted everyone’s attention.

The crowd finally ceased arguing, turning their gaze towards the podium, curious about what she was going to say.

Shen Yunsi clenched her fist, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.

As expected, Xiang Xiaoyue’s clear voice rang out next: “Professor Shen, as a teacher, you certainly would not want students to have endless debates about you, right? Please tell everyone the truth. Is Young Master Mo or is he not your ex-boyfriend?”

Boom——

Young Master Mo?

Across the Imperial City, there was only one man at the top of the pyramid who was referred to as Young Master Mo.

Was it him?

Or had they heard it wrong?

Everyone couldn’t help but be stunned and held their breath in surprise.

At this point, Xiang Xiaoyue was only thinking of helping Gu Li and completely overlooked the fact that she had uttered “Young Master Mo.”

As for Gu Li, she was so absorbed in listening that she hadn’t noticed anything wrong either.

Therefore, miraculously, nobody cut Xiang Xiaoyue off, allowing her to continue her fierce questioning of Shen Yunsi—

“Why can’t you just give a straightforward answer? Is it really so hard to say yes or no? Are you playing coy, trying to stir up a scandal like in the entertainment industry and intentionally leading people on?”
