Chapter 125: Misunderstood

"Help! Sexual harassment! Lin Feng, you jerk! How dare you try to molest me while Qingxue is in the restroom? You animal, I won't let you get away with this!"

Lin Yao feigned a look of extreme terror, clutching her chest tightly as she wailed and shouted to everyone around her.

In an instant, the eyes of everyone in the vicinity were drawn to them. Seeing the scene, the crowd quickly jumped to conclusions and began pointing fingers at Lin Feng.

"What an animal! To have a girlfriend and still lay a hand on her best friend—he's lower than a pig or a dog."

"Exactly, even pigs and dogs are better than him. A person like this shouldn't even be in this world."

"Don't be afraid, miss. We're here; this beast won't dare touch you."

As they spoke, several sturdy men stepped forward to shield her, ensuring she wouldn't suffer any further harm.

Lin Yao pretended to be grateful, clinging to their clothes and thanking them repeatedly. "Thank you, gentlemen. I never expected him to do such a thing to me. My purity is ruined—how will I ever find a boyfriend now? Boo-hoo..."

She covered her chest and began to cry even louder. Inside, however, she was gloating. Glaring coldly at Lin Feng, she thought, *Let's see how you get out of this. This restaurant just opened and doesn't have surveillance cameras yet. Even if you try to explain, no one will believe you.*

Lin Feng stood there, speechless. He hadn't expected this woman to be so shameless. Only now did he realize Lin Yao's true intention: she wasn't here to target Qingxue—she was here to target him!

Just then, an exquisitely dressed woman approached. Upon arriving, she saw Lin Yao standing to the side, disheveled and sobbing. She rushed over, asking with a serious expression, "Lin Yao, what's going on? What happened here?"

"Boo-hoo, Qingxue, you're finally back! This jerk Lin Feng took advantage of your absence to harass me. He even said that if I spent a night with him, he'd convince you to forgive me and stop making my life difficult."

"The worst part is, when I refused, he tore my clothes and tried to grope me. If it weren't for these kind gentlemen protecting me, his plan would have succeeded."

Lin Yao sobbed as she hid behind Su Qingxue, offering an explanation dripping with despair.

"What?"

Su Qingxue knitted her brows, looking at Lin Feng in disbelief. She couldn't bring herself to believe he was that kind of person. But when she saw the reactions of the crowd, her face grew grim. With so many people serving as witnesses for Lin Yao, the situation couldn't possibly be a lie.

"Lin Feng, have you really... Lin Yao is my best friend. How could you do this to her?" Su Qingxue asked, looking at him with confusion.

"I didn't do anything. This is all a performance she directed herself," Lin Feng replied, his expression stoic.

"You jerk! You still won't admit it? Everyone here saw it!"

Lin Yao stepped forward again, pointing an accusatory finger at Lin Feng to frame him, inciting the surrounding crowd to join in the condemnation. Suddenly, the scene erupted into chaos, with everyone pointing and cursing at Lin Feng.

Su Qingxue felt deeply disappointed. She had thought Lin Feng was a decent man, but it turned out everything was an act. She had trusted him so much, yet he openly claimed to dislike Lin Yao while secretly asking her to sleep with him. Was this something a human being would do?

"Lin Feng, I truly misjudged you. I never expected you to be this kind of man. You have disappointed me to the core." Su Qingxue shook her head, her face full of frustration as she shouted at him.

"You really don't believe me?" Lin Feng furrowed his brow, looking at Su Qingxue with a grave expression.

"The facts are right here! Lin Yao's clothes are torn. If you didn't do it, who did? Did she sacrifice her own purity just to frame you?"

Su Qingxue didn't want to believe it, but everything before her pointed toward Lin Feng. As she finished speaking, Lin Yao's sobbing grew even louder.

"Heh."

Lin Feng laughed in pure frustration. "Just because her clothes are torn, you think it was me? It seems that's all I'm worth in your eyes."

"You animal! Your actions are an affront to heaven and earth. Are you trying to use moral blackmail on this girl now?"

"Exactly! If I were you, I'd have smashed my head against a wall. You aren't even fit to be called human!"

The crowd launched another barrage of insults at Lin Feng. But to him, their words meant nothing. He gave a cold smile, pulled out his phone, and pressed the play button on his recorder, broadcasting everything Lin Yao had said just moments before.

The entire place fell silent in an instant.

"W-what? Lin Feng, you... you recorded what I said?"

When Lin Yao heard the recording, she went completely numb. Her eyes darted around, unable to find an excuse. The crowd was left dumbfounded. Especially those who had been insulting Lin Feng—having no idea of the truth, they had cursed him viciously, and now they were effectively slapping their own faces.

"Lin Feng, I... I'm sorry. I didn't realize that this truly..."

Su Qingxue was also shocked. It turned out Lin Feng really hadn't done it; it was all Lin Yao's scheme.

"That's enough. You don't need to explain. The truth is out. I have things to do; I'm leaving."

Lin Feng didn't give Su Qingxue a chance to explain. After speaking coldly, he turned and walked out of the restaurant.

Su Qingxue felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her eyes reddened instantly, and two trails of tears fell involuntarily. She was filled with intense regret for her actions. Lin Feng was clearly such a good man—how could she have doubted him? She wanted nothing more than to slap herself across the face.

*Lin Feng, I know I was wrong! Please don't leave me!*

Her heart was filled with boundless grief, and she couldn't stop herself from weeping.

Once the crowd realized the truth, they became furious, pointing their fingers at Lin Yao and cursing her.

"You snake-hearted woman, you really have no shame. To frame someone, you'd even throw away your own purity?"

"Even Pan Jinlian wasn't as disgusting as you."

The crowd erupted in insults, none of them having expected that this woman was the truly despicable and sinister one.

"Qingxue, I didn't mean it. You have to forgive me; it was all just a misunderstanding."

Fearing that she would lose Su Qingxue—her only lifeline, now that she had nothing left—Lin Yao hurried over to explain.

Unexpectedly, Su Qingxue stood up with red-rimmed eyes and pointed at her, declaring, "Get out of here immediately! Disappear from my sight. Don't ever let me see you again."

"Qingxue, I..."

"Get out!"

Su Qingxue was livid, unable to believe that Lin Yao could have no bottom line and commit such an act. She deeply regretted not listening to Lin Feng earlier that day. If she hadn't forgiven her back then, none of this would have happened.

After Lin Yao was chased away, Su Qingxue didn't hesitate; she stood up and ran out of the restaurant to find Lin Feng. No matter what, she had to bring him back. She could not lose him!
