440 Sowing Discord

With one person taking the lead, the others began to voice their requests as well. However, everyone’s goal was the same, which was to urge Yu Yan to return the money.

Yu Yan was a little angry and embarrassed. “Didn’t I say that I’ll return it to you guys after my parents send me money from their business trip?”

At this moment, a boy stood up and went straight to the point. “Yu Yan, I heard that a problem arose at your parents’ workplace.”

It was this excuse again!

Before Yu Yan went to bed last night, she had already made up her mind. As long as there was no confirmation, she would insist that it was just a business trip. She really didn’t have money now, so she could only delay it for as long as possible.

Yu Yan began to look impatient. “Who told you that there was a problem with my parents’ workplace? This is a rumor! I want to settle the score with whoever started the rumor!”

Everyone looked at each other. When they heard that Yu Yan was going to cause trouble, they didn’t dare to say who they had heard it from. Otherwise, if she told them out of kindness but they sold her out, that would be immoral.

Seeing this, Wen Xun also walked forward and explained, “Yu Yan, we didn’t say that we would force you to return all the money immediately. Perhaps you can pay a portion first? Return as much as you can. See how long it will take for you to return the rest. Come up with a plan and tell us. Then, we’ll be more assured.”

“That’s right. Return as much as you can.”

“Or, find some stamps or some things you don’t need. You can sell them and exchange them for money to return to us.”

There were some murmurs in the crowd. Because there were many people, Yu Yan didn’t know who was talking.

Yu Yan had some valuable stamps that could be sold for more than ten yuan. However, she planned to send them to the Yu family, so she definitely couldn’t sell them.

Yu Yan looked at everyone in exasperation and began to condemn the person who had instigated them to look for her. “I really don’t have anything to exchange for money now. Who told you all of this? I can confront that person face to face. If that person doesn’t even dare to show his face, why do you guys believe him?”

Yu Yan wasn’t even sure if something had happened to her adoptive parents or not. Speaking of which, she wasn’t lying, so she wasn’t afraid of confronting the other party. Thus, her tone became much tougher.

When everyone heard this, they were speechless. They really couldn’t refute Yu Yan’s words.

When Xu Ling, who was hiding in the corner, saw that Yu Yan had the upper hand, she stomped her feet in anger. “How incompetent!”

Seeing that the group of men seemed to be persuaded by Yu Yan, Xu Ling couldn’t help but rush out and shout, “Yu Yan, you have the cheek to say that you don’t have stamps? You can lie to others, but I’ve lived with you for so long. How can I not know?”

Xu Ling rushed to the middle of the crowd and continued, “Don’t be deceived by Yu Yan. I saw a few clothing stamps and cotton stamps in her hand a few days ago! She just wants to shirk the debt!”

Now that Xu Ling had appeared, Yu Yan’s first reaction was that all the rumors were spread by Xu Ling. “Xu Ling, this is our private matter. If you have something against me, don’t manipulate other people.”

Yu Yan deliberately turned the matter into a private grudge between the two women so that everyone would think that Xu Ling had ulterior motives for telling them that.

Xu Ling knew that Yu Yan was sharp-tongued, so she didn’t say anything else and pushed Yu Yan away. Then, she picked up the scissors on the desk and was about to pry open the lock of Yu Yan’s closet.

Seeing this, Yu Yan was so frightened that she went forward and pushed her away. “Xu Ling, what are you trying to do? Do you want to snatch my things in front of so many people?”

Xu Ling looked at Yu Yan and sneered. “You also know that there are so many people here? I just want everyone to see if there are stamps in your closet or not! I want to expose your true colors! Besides, if you’re not lying, open it for everyone to see. What are you afraid of?”

Yu Yan blocked the cabinet. “Stop sowing discord. I haven’t even settled the account with you for slandering my parents!”

Xu Ling snorted. “You haven’t contacted your parents for more than a month, right? What rumors did I spread? I only told everyone what I knew truthfully. They guessed that something happened to your parents. Don’t try to pin the blame on me!”

“On the other hand, you made yourself sound so pitiful. Show us the evidence. You don’t even dare to let us see the closet. It can be seen how diffident you are! I didn’t sow discord. You’re the one who let everyone down!”
