Chapter 1228

Because of the breakdown, Yuan Li's voice was loud, and even more people had come out specially to watch the spectacle; the surrounding accusations and nagging were like knives, deeply stabbing into Zhao Weifang's heart.

Homosexual, pervert, shameless, possessed.

These rumors, which Zhaolong and Zhao Weifang had spread, had left the boomerang suffering for half a year, and now it finally returned to Zhao Weifang.

And because of this incident, while Yuan Li was shouting angrily, some neighbors were speculating, "Could it be that the person who was wrong in that thing half a year ago was Zhaolong? I've heard that homosexuality is hereditary…"

"Hey, you really shouldn't say that, but it's said that at the time someone saw Boss Chen holding something, and Zhaolong's head was bleeding; maybe it was because he was resisting."

The neighbors chattered away, not at all afraid that the Zhao family might hear.

Yuan Li still felt embarrassed, she grabbed Zhao Weifang's ear and went upstairs, trembling with anger, "You really embarrass me! If I'd known, I wouldn't have let Li Shao tutor Yu Yu!"

Zhao Weifang kept losing face, already in a bad mood after leaving the police station, his emotions building up, he actually shoved Yuan Li's hand away hard when she raised it again, "Enough!"

"Are you done or not! Who I'm with is none of your business! If you insist on asking, fine—I'll tell you, Li Shao TAMA isn't even the first guy I've dated!"

On the seventh floor, Zhao Weifang's roar was heard by the rest of the Zhao family, including Li Shao, who was staying at the Zhao household under the pretense of studying.

Hearing the door open and Zhao Weifang's angry roar, Li Shao's wrist twitched and his professional book slammed to the floor.

Zhaolong was also frightened by Zhao Weifang's words, not understanding, he looked at Yuan Li, then glanced at Li Shao, and scolded, "Zhao Weifang! What nonsense are you spouting for no reason?"

Zhaolong knows full well that if his family finds out about this, there will be no good outcome; people in Jing Shi have low acceptance of homosexuality, let alone in this broken town.

You still have the nerve to speak up for him—look at what this is!

Yuan Li flung the torn paper onto the ground, as if holding it in her hand for even a second felt dirty.

Seeing the picture on the paper, Li Shao's face turned pale; he instinctively looked at the black-faced Zhao Weifang, but before he could speak, Yuan Li drove him away with a feather duster.

Get out! You shameless thing, how dare you stay in our house!

As Yuan Li whipped, Zhao Weifang protected Li Shao; Zhao Yuyu was already scared stiff in the room, not daring to come out, only Zhaolong kept his composure.

He stared intently at the paper on the ground and suddenly said, "Mom, don't you suspect where this picture came from?"

This looks like a covert shot, deliberately printed out—it's obviously aimed at Weifang… even at our family.

Yuan Li frowned tightly, her face flushed with anger that hadn't subsided, "What do you want to say?"

It must be Jin Chen and Chen Zhu who did this; we can't be fooled, Mom. The urgent thing is to settle accounts with them—so many neighbors are watching.

Zhao Kong, the most scheming, puffed on his cigarette and said, "As long as they say it's fake, even if some don't believe it, at least it gives an explanation."

His tone was indifferent, just giving a suggestion; mostly he enjoyed the feeling of holding decision-making power at home now.

Sure enough, Yuan Li was quickly convinced, "Those two little beasts……"

Mom, rest assured, I have a way.

Li Shao remained silent throughout, wronged but protected by Zhao Weifang, enduring Yuan Li's scolding, while actually weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Actually, he could just leave now; before he feared that Jin Chen's power and influence would pose a threat, but now matters in the town won't reach Jing Shi, so they won't affect his studies—worst case, he simply never comes back.

But Zhao Weifang's promise a few days ago also weighed on his mind.

You're right—let's go, let's go to Chen Zhu's house right now!

Yuan Li was finally persuaded by Zhaolong, and she no longer rushed to drive Li Shao away—what if this shameless little brat says something else to others later? That would just be another Chen Zhu.

——

Zhaolong rushed with his whole family to Chen Zhu's house in a flurry.

The one who opened the door was Jin Chen, who seemed to have expected this, and unlike before, he didn't drive them away.

How did the photos turn out? Looks good, right?

Jin Chen leaned against the sofa, showing none of the panic they had expected, "If submitted to a magazine, it might even become a big hit."

Saying that was nothing short of admitting he took the photos.

Yuan Li, already brimming with anger, shoved her hands on her hips like a shrew and shouted, "You black-hearted wretch, what are you thinking?! Ah! It's just a little grudge, yet you insist on ruining the reputation of my house's child! You beast……"

Clang—

The ceramic plate shattered before her eyes, Yuan Li's insults cut off abruptly—she hadn't expected him to dare lay hands on an elder, and she staggered in shock.

I'm fragile—I'll strike back when insulted.

Jin Chen calmly picked up another ceramic plate, as if caressing an artwork, inexplicably making people feel chilled.

Zhaolong had spoken with such conviction at home, but face to face with Jin Chen, the pain from being choked that day resurfaced faintly.

He spat curses at Jin Chen, calling him a dead lunatic, while clenching his fists to bolster himself—deep down, his contempt inexplicably gave Zhaolong a boost of confidence.

You're doing this just to extort money, aren't you? I can give you some.

Zhaolong lifted his chin high, his cloudy eyes full of contempt and disdain, "As long as you admit the photos are fake, I'll give you a sum of money."

Crazy.

Jin Chen glanced at him and casually tossed the other ceramic plate aside.

Never mind that you previously spread rumors about Chen Zhu, letting him be pointed at for half a year without cause—now your family can't even tolerate a single day.

Besides, the picture hasn't been altered in any way, and I didn't spread rumors—why are you rushing?

His tone turned cold; even though Zhaolong had anticipated it, he was still hit squarely by the flying shards, left in a sorry state.

Yuan Li suddenly understood, looked astonished at Zhaolong, her chest heaving, "You……you guys!"

How did she end up raising two perverts!

You damn well did this just for this! Chen Zhu hasn't done anything, has he! Zhao Weifang grew even angrier, his eyes darting around the room, looking for something to use as a weapon.

What do you want to happen to him?

Jin Chen suddenly rose to his feet, a sense of oppression welling up, almost tangible, "You won't be satisfied unless he commits suicide."

You……you stop spouting nonsense! Zhao Weifang instinctively stepped back a few paces, his whole aura surging yet inexplicably seeming to shrink.

After being provoked repeatedly, Zhaolong had long lost his patience; now his anger and irritation outweighed his inexplicable fear of this person, and he kicked the chair.

I warn you! If you don't get this straightened out, then not only in this town, but even if you return to Jing Shi, I'll make sure you can't get by!

I have plenty of people backing me in Jing Shi!
