Tang Li then inquired, "Did I give you the belt myself?"
"No," Mo Jing replied. A subtle smile flickered in his heart at her clever choice of words of 'myself'.
She was indeed smart!
While staying true to the facts, she also managed to obtain the answer she sought. Did she realize that he was assisting her?
Recalling Dr. Zhang's praises of Tang Li's intelligence and medical talents, Mo Jing found it hard to believe. However, witnessing her sly eyes in this moment made him reconsider.
Yet, the lingering curiosity persisted. Why had she changed so much!
Although I told myself that there was no need to explore, I still couldn't help being curious in my heart.
Tang Li's transformed demeanor intrigued him.
"Why not!" Xiao Ru erupted angrily. "Mo Jing, you don't remember; just half a month ago, I gave you a belt, which Tang Li entrusted me to give to you!"
"I don't remember," Mo Jing responded, his thoughts interrupted.
He refocused, looked at Xiao Ru, and frowned. "Is that so? What belt?"
"Mo Jing, why are you helping Tang Li? It's definitely there!" Xiao Ru, consumed by anger with red eyes, lost her composure and questioned:
"Could it be that you really had an affair with her, so you are helping her like this!"
"Hey, Xiao Ru, how did I offend you to make you so eager to pour dirty water on me? Just now, you swore that Mo Jing didn't like me, and now you claim he has an affair with me. Everything you say is contradictory, and you're slapping yourself in the face!"
Tang Li observed Mo Jing's formidable support and decided there was no need to prove herself further. She sighed theatrically, shook her head sadly, and began to undermine Xiao Ru's credibility.
Xiao Ru was so angry that she was about to vomit blood. She couldn't understand why Mo Jing would help Tang Li and deny the matter of the belt.
She stared at Mo Jing and questioned aggrievedly, "We are all educated youths, both from city, and classmates; why did you help her and not me?"
"Xiao Ru, Mo Jing is not helping me; he is telling the truth. I have nothing to do with him, let alone giving him a belt," Tang Li interjected, using her words to counter her.
"You also said that you are classmates, so why do you keep pouring dirty water on Mo Jing and destroy his reputation? What are you thinking?"
At this juncture, Team Leader Zeng Yazhu and others understood the innocence of Tang Li and Mo Jing.
They turned against Xiao Ru, accusing her of wrongdoing.
"Xiao Ru, your thinking is extremely problematic! Stop causing trouble! You should apologize to Tang Li and write a review!" Zeng Yazhu frowned and instructed, "Hurry up and get back to work!"
"Captain, what I said is true!" Xiao Ru cried angrily.
Just when she felt at a loss about what to do, Gu Xiulan, the 'witness' she had called earlier, finally arrived with her tiny steps.
"Auntie, tell them quickly, did Tang Li secretly weave a belt before?" Xiao Ru immediately pulled her arm and pleaded.
"Yes! This little troublemaker wove a belt, thinking of cosying up to men! Bah, what a shame!" Gu Xiulan pointed at Tang Li and cursed.
"I've seen it with my own eyes. It's made of green hemp grass, too thick for women to use as trouser belts. It's clearly meant for men!"
Tang Li looked at Gu Xiulan with amusement. Could her words be trusted?
'Ha ha!'
Xiao Ru had chosen her as a witness, and Tang Li couldn't help but think that Xiao Ru's brain must have been pinched by the door.
