Chapter 438: Chapter 464: Failing to Steal the Chicken and Losing the Rice
Liu Gang waited for her to finish speaking, then suddenly pushed Ai Mei’s arm: "What are you saying! Gu
Junming isn’t like that! He only saw you injured and thought I did it, you shouldn't misunderstand his good
intentions."
"Even if it's good intentions, you can’t make things up out of thin air. Anyway, | hope the leadership questions
him properly." Ai Mei knew what she was doing wasn’t right, but if she didn’t make a fuss, would her husband be
displeased? At most, she and Gu Junming’s family wouldn't be neighbors anymore, but she and Liu Gang were
together for life. Of course she had to think about him.
Besides, Liu Gang was right, the other side definitely wanted to bring him down.
At worst, I'll just apologize sincerely to Sun Chan later. She looks like a good-tempered girl. Easy to talk to. Even
if things don’t go well, what could she possibly do to me? At most she’d just ignore me.
Liu Gang spoke then: "I hope the leaders won't pursue this. Gu Junming’s intentions were good, after all.
Although he made ssubjective assumptions, it wasn’t deliberate. No need for you to criticize him."
These words were skillfully spoken, he first pointed out Gu Junming’s nonsense, then highlighted my kindness
and tolerance, showing that | wouldn't mind Gu Junming’s excessive behavior. With these words, Gu Junming’s
image with the leaders would suffer, and my own shining image would be highlighted.
But who knew the leaders would look at each other, all with shocked expressions.
Then one of them said, "Did you misunderstand something?"
"Huh?"
"Gu Junming didn’t say you beat your wife, he only said we should talk to you about taking care of her, that such
heavy work shouldn't be done by a female. Also, he said we should remind the courtyard’s residents to pay
attention to safety. He didn’t mention anything else. If you suddenly say something... so did you actually hit
her?"
As soon as this was said, the couple were dumbfounded.
Liu Gang was speechless, feeling as if cold water had been poured into hot oil inside him.
This matter, Gu Junming didn’t mention it at all! So were we falsely accusing him all this time, judging others
with a petty heart? Either way, this wouldn't leave a good impression!
He quickly said, "Who spread this? It's too much! We, as a couple, thought... This is our fault; we took what
people outside gossiped to heart. I'll go apologize to Gu Junming later."
Another leader laughed and said, "People always say there's no smoke without fire; we've heard sthings
too. You two often have sphysical conflicts, but since Ai Mei hadn't mentioned it, we left it alone. Ai Mei, is
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis true?"
Ai Mei quickly shook her head, her voice trembling: "No! My husband and | have a very good relationship; he’s
never hit me. Those are just made-up lies by svicious people! My husband is really good."
"But last tyou cto us crying, saying he didn’t want to be with you."
"That was... that was someone instigating me. Gu Junming is not a good person! He spreads lies!" She had no
education, couldn't articulate well, and as she kept exposing herself, her words becmore confused and she
spilled all the bad things about Gu Junming without a break. After saying it, she regretted it, looking to her
husband, but who knew Liu Gang had no reaction at all.
His mind was still buzzing; he couldn't imagine Gu Junming being so treacherous, not mentioning the whole mess
at all! | wanted to retaliate, but ended up looking like a vile person! What to do now?
Now, does my image in the leaders’ eyes look terrible? This is really embarrassing!
A leader spoke sternly: "What's wrong with you, young lady? How long has Gu Junming been married? You came
to us last year. He hadn't even moved in yet, didn’t know you, how could he know your issues? Plus, we've heard
the rumors floating around the courtyard for stnow; it’s not just one person saying it. What's really
going on with you two?"
Ai Mei was about to cry, and Liu Gang finally cto his senses, rage suddenly flaring up.
He could disregard his wife's words, but he couldn’t disregard the leaders’. He had caught the sarcasm in their
tone, which was not a good sign!
He quickly shouted, "If you can’t speak properly, then shut up! When did Gu Junming ever spread such things!?"
"Yes, | was wrong." Ai Mei was so anxious that her forehead was coated in cold sweat. Seeing the leaders’
displeased expressions, her heart was in turmoil.
She still didn’t know what she had said that was wrong.
Another leader quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Perhaps there is smisunderstanding. Anyway,
it’s not a big deal, just be more careful in the future. Correct any mistakes and learn from this. Liu Gang, you are
a straightforward guy; sometimes your actions and words might be a bit much, making it easy for people to
misunderstand. It could make people think you bully your wife, which isn’t good. Be more mindful from now on."
"Yes, understood." Liu Gang breathed a sigh of relief; at least he wasn’t pegged for beating his wife.
The two leaders spoke for a while, advised them to be more careful in the future, and then left. Once they walked
out, the couple looked at each other and started laughing.
"What do you think of this Liu Gang..."
"Exactly. | used to think he was alright. Who would've thought?"

"But you said Gu Junming..."
He stood up and said, "Really foolish! Even so, you shouldn't say it, do you have evidence for your nonsense?
Take care and rest well. I'm off to work!"
"Liu Gang... | really didn’t do anything wrong! Tell me, what exactly did | do wrong?" Ai Mei’s mind was dizzy
now, having no idea what was going on.
