Siao Jia's shouting was enough to attract everyone's attention.

Pregnant!

Domestic violence!

Infidelity!

These keywords, like a fierce tidal wave, instantly pushed Xu Ke into the eye of the storm.

When passersby saw the swelling on Siao Jia's face, they immediately labeled Xu Ke in their minds…

Scumbag!!

At that moment, the expression on Siao Jia's face was as pitiful as it could be. But inside, she was incredibly smug. During their relationship, Xu Ke had always been terrified of her causing a scene in public. Siao Jia knew that as long as she played this card right, she could make Xu Ke's life miserable and extort some benefits from him.

At this moment, Xu Ke stood rooted to the spot. His expression flickered with a storm of emotions, but it wasn't because he feared Siao Jia making a public scene. It was because he was thinking of the phrase Siao Jia had just used: "that bitch."

Upon hearing those words, Xu Ke's first thought was of Wong Qifu.

Could it be? Did Siao Jia find out about me and Wong Qifu?

His first reaction wasn't to defend himself, but to protect Wong Qifu. He knew that if Siao Jia discovered their relationship and exposed it, Wong Qifu would be in serious trouble.

The Wang Family Empress engaged to an unemployed vagrant!

A headline like that on the front page would generate a massive amount of negative publicity for Wong Qifu.

But Xu Ke quickly came to his senses.

Siao Jia couldn't possibly know that much.

His only direct contact with Wong Qifu had been a single instance, and the entire time was spent in Uncle Wu's car. Even with their previous interactions at the gym, Siao Jia simply didn't have enough information to reach that conclusion. That insult, "that bitch," must have nothing to do with Wong Qifu.

Having reached this conclusion, Xu Ke's heart settled. As for the other slanderous accusations, he didn't take them seriously. He used to be wary of Siao Jia making scenes, but that was only because he didn't want their private matters exposed.

Now things were different. Firstly, he and Siao Jia were over. Secondly, he wasn't the same Xu Ke he used to be. The stares of onlookers and Siao Jia's slander meant nothing to him.

So, Xu Ke simply turned to leave.

Seeing him walk away without even pausing, Siao Jia's eyes widened slightly.

How could this be? Since when did Xu Ke stop caring about things like this?

"Don't you dare walk away!" Siao Jia cried, her voice growing more pitiful as she scrambled after him.

Xu Ke turned a deaf ear.

At that moment, a man stepped in front of Xu Ke. "Are you even a man?"

Xu Ke's brow furrowed. "What's it to you?"

"Talk to your wife properly, you bastard," the man spat, filled with righteous indignation.

Xu Ke glanced at the surrounding crowd. Their faces were uniformly angry, as if they were all victims of his abuse. A sneer touched his lips. When he was being bullied on this very street, no one had stood up for him. Now, after a few baseless accusations from Siao Jia, champions of justice were suddenly appearing everywhere.

"Fine," Xu Ke said, turning back to face Siao Jia with an expressionless mask. "Since you all want me to clear things up with her, that's exactly what I'll do."

Seeing his expression, Siao Jia felt a jolt of alarm. Immediately, she made her voice even more wretched. "Can you… can you just come home with me?" she pleaded weakly, like a vulnerable wife who dared not raise her voice to her husband.

At this sight, the crowd's anger toward Xu Ke intensified.

Xu Ke laughed. "Siao Jia, what do you want?"

"I..." Siao Jia was taken aback and quickly shook her head. "I don't want anything. I just want you to come back." Her eyes were filled with tears, her emotions appearing so genuine that many women in the crowd were immediately moved.

"Very impressive," Xu Ke said with a smile. "Your acting has improved again."

Siao Jia's expression stiffened. She bowed her head and began to sob. "Why do you say that about me? What have I done wrong?"

The crowd immediately erupted with inflamed passions.

"You asshole, are you even human?"

"Your wife is suffering so much, and you accuse her of acting?"

"You damned scumbag!"

Someone had already taken out their phone and was recording the entire scene.

Xu Ke held up a hand. "Alright, then. You say you're pregnant. Where's the proof?"

"This is the proof," Siao Jia said, pulling out a report, her face a picture of misery. "I've been pregnant for a month, as you well know."

Xu Ke took the report, his eyes turning cold. It showed a pregnancy of one month. This meant that Siao Jia had been sleeping with Li Jun a month ago. As Xu Ke recalled what had happened one month prior, his fists clenched tightly.

That bitch!

Seeing Xu Ke silently flipping through the report, seemingly admitting to the fact, the crowd's contempt for him grew. What a bastard, tossing her aside after he got what he wanted!

"This is your evidence?" Xu Ke sneered at Siao Jia. "I'm afraid this isn't quite enough. Are you saying you can just produce any report and claim someone is your husband? By that logic, couldn't anyone on this street have slept with you?"

His words were venomous. Siao Jia's face paled. When had Xu Ke ever spoken so cruelly? His words were too vicious.

The crowd couldn't stand it either.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Apologize to your wife!"

"I'm recording this! If you don't apologize, you'll be famous by tonight!"

Xu Ke abruptly held up the report and shouted, "One report is all it takes to convince you? Use your brains, will you? Is this a paternity test?! So now, she can just wave a piece of paper around, grab any random person off the street, and claim he's her husband?"
