Chapter 313: Legal Letter (Additional Chapter for Silver Reader [The Great Grudge of Spending 100,000 on Qyue] (1/10))

After much persuasion from Mei Fang and Lin You Xi, Li Xiang and Dong Zhongying reluctantly called Mei Fang’s mother, Xiang Xiaoxia, and Lin You Xi’s mother, Liang Meijuan.

This was part of Lin You Xi’s strategy to leverage her connections.

Using the public self-criticism to publicly declare their relationship, clear up misunderstandings about being a mistress, and showcase her identity as a founder of C Station, then informing the parents through a meeting with teachers.

This avoided the awkwardness of directly explaining and allowed both parents and the public to quickly accept the reality.

“Hello, is this the parent of Student Mei Fang? Your child—”

“I bet my child was hit by a car and needs money for treatment… Can’t you guys change your tactics? I’m tired of hearing this nonsense.”

“Hold on, hold on, don’t hang up! This is Teacher Dong Zhongying, not some scammer!”

“Dong, Dong Teacher?” After confirming several details, Xiang Xiaoxia calmed down. “What’s the matter?”

“This time, I’m calling mainly to discuss your child’s early relationship at school…”

“Oh… Is that so?”

Xiang Xiaoxia remained calm. Mei Fang was indeed a troublemaker; he couldn’t even keep his romance confined to home and had to flaunt it at school. He got caught, which was deserved… She hoped Xia Yuan wouldn’t suffer too much because of this, to avoid any discomfort between in-laws.

“Early relationships among children are normal. Teachers should guide them, but not force them apart. My son’s situation is different from other students.”

Xiang Xiaoxia thought her son was a successful businessman with millions of assets, an outstanding alumnus of Jiangcheng Normal University, and a major benefactor. For him to need his parents’ intervention for a relationship was embarrassing. The teacher was simply too naive.

Hearing that Mei Fang’s family didn’t want to come, Mei Fang whispered to Dong Zhongying:

“Teacher Dong, my mom thinks I’m still dating Yuan Yuan. Quickly, tell her I’m dating You Xi.”

Dong Zhongying relayed the message to Xiang Xiaoxia. After a brief silence and confirmation, the phone erupted with Xiang Xiaoxia’s thunderous anger.

“Where is that little scoundrel Mei Fang? Give me the phone!”

“He—he—”

Dong Zhongying looked at Mei Fang, who prayed silently. Dong Zhongying continued, “Mei Fang is writing a self-criticism now. I only informed you about this. Given your distance from Baizhou, just knowing the situation is enough. We’ll handle it here—”

“I’ll be there! We’ll come tomorrow!”

In contrast to Xiang Xiaoxia’s rage, Li Xiang’s call to Lin You Xi’s mother was much gentler. Although Liang Meijuan was puzzled by her daughter’s relationship with Mei Fang, she handled it politely and would contact her later.

After the calls, Mei Fang and Lin You Xi stayed in the teacher’s office to write their self-criticisms.

“How do you write a self-criticism? I’ve never written one before.”

Lin You Xi asked Mei Fang, “Afang, you were always good at dealing with things. You must have written many self-criticisms at home.”

“I haven’t, but my dad wrote plenty, like those about spending money recklessly or smoking. Let me think…”

Of course, the format of the self-criticism was merely formal; it served a more significant purpose.

After leaving the teacher’s office, the news about Mei Fang and Lin You Xi’s relationship spread rapidly among acquaintances, leading to constant whispers whenever they appeared together.

“Don’t mind the gossip. Everything will be fine tomorrow—”

Before Lin You Xi could finish, Mei Fang grabbed her hand, making his confidence evident.

“Since we’re going public, let them talk.”

“That makes sense.”

Lin You Xi waved her hand, and they walked forward confidently, effectively ending the gossip.

Worried about Lin You Xi being bullied, Mei Fang escorted her to their classroom door, where they met Fang Yan, who had just been scolded by Li Xiang.

Fang Yan was furious at seeing Mei Fang and Lin You Xi being affectionate after being reprimanded. She confronted Lin You Xi, “How dare you flaunt your boyfriend like this! You’re shameless.”

“Watch your words. Have some decency?”

Mei Fang stood in front of Lin You Xi, defending her, “You’re over 18 now. Do you know spreading rumors can lead to legal consequences?”

“Rumors? I have nothing to fabricate. Everyone knows you two have been sneaking around behind Xia Yuan’s back. Even Ce Jie saw you being intimate. You’re just a pair of unfaithful people—”

“If you keep talking like that—”

“Afang, what are you doing?”

Lin You Xi patted Mei Fang’s shoulder, “Go back. I can handle this. Don’t let them take pictures and spread more rumors. Men shouldn’t interfere in women’s affairs.”

“Alright…”

As Mei Fang left, Fang Yan and her friends stepped forward, though Shang Ce wasn’t among them.

“Lin You Xi, how long can you stay arrogant? You’ve angered not just us, but all of Xia Yuan’s fans. Knowing how close you are to Xia Yuan, you must know how many fans she has on C Station?”

Lin You Xi smiled and shook her head, “I haven’t checked in a while. I really don’t know.”

“I uploaded a picture of my boyfriend, who has 100,000 followers, to C Station last night. Soon, every fan of Xia Yuan will see this. You won’t be able to show your face on Chinese platforms anymore!”

“Oh…”

Lin You Xi mimicked Mei Fang’s speech pattern, feigning slight nervousness, “Your boyfriend has 100,000 followers? Is he for real? Which one? I’ll check his ID.”

Fang Yan shook her head, “It doesn’t matter who he is. You’ll see the backlash tonight.”

“Alright.”

She could check the backend herself anyway.

Fang Yan’s friends chimed in, “Wow, Lin You Xi, acting like a mistress!”

“Warn you, we won’t stop until we win.”

“Then you better be prepared. I’m not like Afang and Yuan Yuan.”

Lin You Xi calmly stared at Fang Yan, “By the way, remember to receive the lawyer’s letter I’ll send soon. Are you all in cahoots with Fang Yan? If so, I’ll send it to all of you.”

Fang Yan laughed, “Lawyer’s letter? What’s that? Who do you think you are, acting like you understand everything? Just because you read some novels online doesn’t mean you know law. Hahaha!”

Amidst Fang Yan’s laughter, Lin You Xi nodded slightly:

“Yes, I do understand a bit. I studied quite a lot when trying to get my uncle imprisoned.”

…

“What do you mean?”

Fang Yan’s friends whispered, “She said she sent her uncle to prison? In jail? Real or fake?”

“She’s just bragging. Ignore her. She’s just a country bumpkin, clueless.”

Watching Lin You Xi walk away confidently, Fang Yan felt a chill. Her plan to ruin Lin You Xi was foolproof as long as Lin You Xi’s reaction didn’t matter.

That point was: Xia Yuan had indeed been betrayed.

Her closest childhood friend and her childhood sweetheart had started dating within a month of their breakup, which was hard for anyone to accept.

Today, she hadn’t seen Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi alone, and their relationship seemed distant compared to before.

If that condition was met, Xia Yuan’s fans would be her allies, and seeing the barrage of negative comments tonight would surely upset Xia Yuan.

Though she hadn’t confirmed it due to lack of familiarity, Fang Yan couldn’t wait to see Lin You Xi humiliated.

It would be satisfying!
