Chapter 1585: The Truth Will Be Exposed Sooner or Later

Jiang Chenghao stepped half a step closer to the woman, his voice ringing out clearly: "Don't think that just because you say something, others will believe it, and don't think that just because everyone loves small animals, they deserve to have their kindness exploited by you!"

Among the onlookers, there was one man.

At the beginning, the man had been quite sympathetic to the middle-aged woman, thinking that someone in her family had encountered an incompetent doctor.

But as soon as he asked her to produce evidence, the woman started changing the subject.

Isn't this obviously... just stirring up trouble!

The man couldn't watch anymore, so he spoke up: "If you want to resolve a dispute, do it openly and honestly, don't use underhanded tactics!"

Others also said: "Exactly, this is a place to relax and play with pets, don't bring in all this messy nonsense!"

"Ma'am, you've been shouting for a long time and haven't seen your family come over yet; did you get separated? We can help you broadcast to find them."

The onlookers chimed in one after another, successfully provoking the woman.

She stretched her neck and shouted: "What business is it of yours? Everyone just go do what you were doing!"

Jiang Chenghao sneered: "You came here to put on a show, isn't it just because you wanted people to watch? Now, why are you chasing people away instead?"

"You..."

"If you are truly dissatisfied with Xiao Xiao, then shall we... call the police to handle it?"

As Jiang Chenghao said this, he took out his phone.

Seeing that he was serious, the woman didn't dare to push it further; she glared fiercely at Jiang Chenghao and then turned and left.

As she walked away, someone behind her booed.

That sound made the woman's footsteps grow faster and faster.

Jiang Chenghao held Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and said to the crowd: "Thank you all for speaking up for justice just now!"

"Hey, it's no big deal."

"When you see injustice, you have to speak out."

"That's right, you can't let a villain be so arrogant!"

Everyone was chatting and laughing, but one person kept staring at Xu Xiaoxiao's face.

After looking for a while, the person clapped their hands and asked: "Are you the psychologist who recommended the Holographic Projection?"

This question made Xu Xiaoxiao a little nervous.

She nodded, not knowing what the other person was going to say next.

But the other person didn't say anything else, just smiled and gave a thumbs up: "The product is very easy to use; at the very least, I felt very relaxed after using it."

Xu Xiaoxiao relaxed all at once and smiled: "I'm glad you like it."

Although she was smiling, there was a hint of exhaustion in her smile.

One look and it was clear she was being tormented by trivial matters.

The man who had spoken up for justice just now saw this and said: "In this generation, it's too easy to spread rumors about someone, but if you persevere, the clouds will clear and the moon will shine."

The comfort and trust of a stranger made Xu Xiaoxiao feel very warmed.

She revealed a knowing smile and said: "Mm, I will persevere."

While they were talking, Jitu had already run back on its own.

Jiang Chenghao patted its head and took out a bag of snacks to feed it.

Seeing snacks here, the other puppies stopped playing and all gathered around, staring longingly.

Fortunately, Jiang Chenghao had brought plenty of dog snacks, so after getting the owners' permission, he opened the packaging and shared them with the other dogs.

The scene was truly one of harmonious eating.

Once the dogs were full, Jiang Chenghao patted Jitu and said: "Go on, Jitu, go play with everyone!"

"Oh, my dog is also named Jitu!"

"What a coincidence, my dog is named Yatu!"

"Then you're all from the 'Leg' generation!"

"Haha—the 'Leg' generation, that makes me want to get a leg cramp!"

Everyone became more and more relaxed as they chatted.

As for Xu Xiaoxiao, she also briefly forgot her troubles.

To be honest, there had been quite a lot of frustrating things lately.

But whether inside or outside the school, there were still people willing to believe in Xu Xiaoxiao.

Plus the concern of friends and the companionship of her boyfriend...

Xu Xiaoxiao felt that things weren't actually that bad.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and watched the dogs running wildly in the distance with a smile.

After a bout of crazy play, Jitu circled back.

But Jitu didn't pounce on Xu Xiaoxiao; instead, it took a leap and jumped straight into Jiang Chenghao's arms.

It even acted like a loach, being all affectionate with Jiang Chenghao.

Xu Xiaoxiao was still holding the pose to hug the dog.

Now that she had missed, she could only stand up straight awkwardly and stare at Jiang Chenghao in frustration...

Hmm, that's a bit strange!

Xu Xiaoxiao watched for a while, then asked the question in her heart: "Why is Jitu so close to you?"

"Because I play with it."

That's not right!

Xu Xiaoxiao also played with Jitu, and she spent more time with Jitu than Jiang Chenghao did.

But Jitu wasn't that enthusiastic toward her!

In the depths of Xu Xiaoxiao's heart, a hypothesis could not help but emerge.

After a moment of silence, she spoke as if making idle conversation: "I heard that when buying a dog, one chooses one that has a connection with oneself."

"That's right."

"How do you tell if a dog has a connection with you?"

"It's simple; you just look at a litter of puppies and see which one is the most enthusiastic toward you."

"Is that so?" Xu Xiaoxiao nodded as if suddenly enlightened, then asked, "Then when you chose Lucky, was he very enthusiastic toward you too?"

"That's right, its tail was wagging especially fast at the time..."

Jiang Chenghao stopped abruptly, and then, he looked at Xu Xiaoxiao.

Hmm, he confirmed one thing: he had exposed himself.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and drew a conclusion: "So it really was you who bought the dog!"

Jiang Chenghao did not deny it, but instead smiled with a guilty conscience: "As expected of Teacher Xu, your observations are truly meticulous."

As he spoke, he even wanted to lean in to give her a kiss as a reward.

But Xu Xiaoxiao did not let Jiang Chenghao muddle through, and directly pushed Jiang Chenghao's head away.

Then, she asked with a puzzled expression: "If you wanted to buy a dog, you could have just done it openly and honestly; why did you have to go through such a roundabout way?"

"Because I was afraid you would refuse."

If it had been Jiang Chenghao who proposed it directly... given Xu Xiaoxiao's personality of fearing trouble, she indeed would have refused.

But since it was a fait accompli, the little guy ended up being kept.

Nowadays, it has even added a lot of joy for Xu Xiaoxiao.

It was just that thinking about how she had been kept in the dark the whole time...

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say: "You and Sister Zhang, the two of you worked together really well!"

"But you still found out; sigh, it seems I should just tell the truth from now on."

"Exactly, the truth will be exposed sooner or later."

"So you also have to tell the truth," Jiang Chenghao suddenly shifted the topic to Xu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Is there something strange about that student in school who does live streaming?"

Xu Xiaoxiao originally didn't want to talk about school matters, so as not to make Jiang Chenghao worry.

But thinking of what she had just said...

Fine, then let's talk about it.

Xu Xiaoxiao sighed, then said truthfully: "It is very suspicious; I don't have any direct conflict of interest with him, so why is he so eager to smear me?"

"So that means someone must be directing him from behind the scenes! If we follow his trail and investigate, we will definitely be able to find something!"

After Jiang Chenghao finished speaking, he added: "By the way, that woman from just now is also a clue!"

With so many clues, how could we not investigate?

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he pushed Jiang Baobao aside and strode away.
