The chat logs of these “elite members of the P-circle” were nothing but backstabbing rumors and slander.
“[Photo] Wow, she’s changed so much.”
“Isn’t that the girl from our class? Back then, we ranked her number one on the class’s ugliest-girls list. You guys remember, right?”
“Of course. Her face now must be the result of expensive plastic surgery. It couldn’t have cost less than five million.”
“People like her should stay single for life. Otherwise, if she has a child someday, her husband will definitely suspect she cheated on him. Hahaha…”
“Oh, that guy is getting married. I saw him post wedding photos on his Moments.”
“Him? The guy we used to shove into the bathroom every day? He actually found a woman willing to marry him? Could she be some woman from the ** business trying to turn over a new leaf and looking for him to take over her mess?”
“I think so too! I bet five cents they’ll get divorced within a year!”
“…”
This group probably didn’t have proper jobs, just like Huo Mian.
Their messages were spread throughout the entire day.
Anyone who had ever worked an easy job knew that gossiping with old classmates usually happened during working hours. Once the workday ended, everyone went off to do their own things.
And anyone who had ever worked a grueling job knew that they simply wouldn’t have the time to badmouth people from morning till night.
Yet these people spent the entire day spreading rumors about others.
It was easy to imagine how, back when they gathered together, they had formed little cliques and bullied their classmates everywhere they went.
Huo Mian was especially cunning. She usually only led people on without ever saying anything outright vicious.
For example, she had been the one to send that female classmate’s photo to the group, merely hinting that the girl had changed a lot.
The others then started spreading rumors that she had undergone plastic surgery and that her future husband would suspect her of cheating.
As he scrolled further, he finally found something useful.
Huo Mian: “There’s something I’ve never told you guys before. [Crying loudly][Crying loudly] Yu Zhining dumped me.”
Everyone immediately came out to ask what had happened.
Huo Mian: “What else could it be? The things we suspected when we were kids turned out to be true.”
The others chimed in one after another.
“I knew it! I could tell back then that there was something wrong with those siblings!”
“I always thought there was something off too. At the last charity gala, Yu Xiaxing’s dress was slightly crooked in the back, and her brother reached out and adjusted it for her in front of everyone. His hand lingered on her back for ages. What normal brother would do that?”
“I heard Yu Zhining has a sleep disorder. He has to hug his sister’s pajamas to fall asleep. Otherwise, he can’t sleep!”
“Now that Yu Zhining has kicked Mianmian to the curb, it was probably that sister of his who forced him to do it! I’ll bet you anything that within three years, those siblings will have a child. The Yu family will definitely claim they adopted it. Believe me or not?”
Huo Mian: “I’m really miserable right now. I’m at Yuquan Manor. Could you come keep me company? Think of it as a vacation. I’ve already booked rooms at the manor for everyone~”
She then transferred ten thousand yuan to each person, claiming it was to cover their travel expenses.
But this was obviously hush money to get them to come and spread rumors in front of the production crew.
After Yu Zheng finished reading, he stood up and viciously kicked the man in the head.
“My sister only returned to the country less than two months ago. When could she possibly have attended a charity gala?
“And Yu Zhining’s sleep disorder… Were you people hiding under his bed listening to him sleep? How would you know something that private?”
This proved that there wasn’t a single truthful word in these people’s mouths. They simply made up rumors whenever they opened them.
They were disgusting! They had been disgusting since childhood!
They were alive solely to spread their stench from the darkest corners.
This time, Yu Zhining had managed to remain calm. One of the two of them had to keep a clear head, after all.
He grabbed Yu Zheng by the arm.
“That’s enough. If you keep going, you’ll kill him.”
Yu Zheng was furious.
“I can’t stand this! Isn’t there any way to teach people who spread rumors behind others’ backs a lesson?”
Yu Zhining replied, “Of course there is.”
Using the male classmate’s phone, he took several screenshots of the group members slandering their classmates behind their backs.
Then he posted them in their old class group chat.
[Shared 15 screenshots]
Soon, the class group chat—which had been silent for years—came back to life.
The male classmate who had gotten married was the first to speak.
“Are you people eating shit? How else could your mouths stink this badly? My wife has been my legitimate girlfriend for seven years, ever since we graduated from high school. How dare you make up rumors about us?”
“These people are actually gloating over the fact that they worked together to bully classmates back then? I’m so angry. Why are they all living perfectly good lives now?”
“Back then, they cut the elastic in my school uniform pants. My pants fell down while I was at the blackboard reciting from memory, and it’s been a trauma haunting me for more than ten years!!! I thought they had finally grown out of it, but apparently they’re still doing this kind of thing as adults!”
“I’m literally shaking with anger! I happily posted about my wedding, and they cursed me behind my back, saying I’d be divorced within a year. What did I ever do to them?”
The girl who had once been labeled “the ugliest girl in the class,” and was now being accused of having plastic surgery, also spoke up.
“Classmates, long time no see. I’m currently practicing at a law firm. Here’s my law license. [Photo]”
“Spreading rumors in a private group is also illegal. It constitutes defamation, and they’ve been bullying everyone since middle school. This is a continuous pattern of malicious behavior.”
“I’m planning to sue them and seek compensation. Any other victims who want to join me?”
“Only by making the bullies pay can we truly let go of the grievances we suffered back then. Otherwise, they’ll remain our nightmares for the rest of our lives!”
“Count me in!”
“Count me in!”
In an instant, more than a dozen people stepped forward, volunteering to sue them together.
When Yu Zhining saw this, he took out his own phone.
His personal account wasn’t in the group chat.
For now, he could only add the male classmate as a friend and have him pull him into the group.
As soon as he entered, he transferred one hundred thousand yuan into the group and selected the option to send it only to a specific person.
Yu Zhining: “I’ll cover the legal fees.”
The female classmate who was a lawyer immediately returned the money.
The lawyer said, “No need. What I need most right now is a successful case for my record. This case won’t be difficult, and I’m confident I can win!”
“Once we win, we’ll be able to obtain a substantial amount in emotional-distress damages from them. Just give me a percentage of the settlement!”
Everyone agreed.
Yu Zhining thought about it and decided that this arrangement would work. He could also have the Yu family’s undefeated legal team provide support behind the scenes, ensuring that she won without a doubt.
Just as they finished dealing with this matter, they suddenly heard the sharp sound of a slap from the production crew’s side!
The two of them had no time to worry about anything else. Afraid that Yu Xiaxing might be at a disadvantage, they hurried back to the production crew to see what was happening.
