Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2332 - 2268: Exposing Dirty Secrets

Kuang Yunxian knit his brows together, asking, "If I run, what about you?"

"They won’t do anything to me."

Du Jinruo was well aware that while she remained safe from their violence, Kuang Yunxian was their primary target. Is it really a good idea to stay here and take a beating instead of escaping while there's a chance?

Kuang Yunxian’s expression turned grave. "If I were to flee now, I would be unworthy of being called a man. If things take a turn for the worse, just remember to stay back and protect yourself. Don't come near."

Du Jinruo was momentarily dazed. What exactly was he planning to do?

Still, she couldn't deny the flicker of comfort she felt knowing that Kuang Yunxian refused to abandon her or run away like a coward.

While they spoke, Gao Wei and his group had already closed the distance, forming a tight circle around the pair.

Gao Wei lunged forward, reaching out to seize Du Jinruo’s arm.

"Xiao Ruo, haven't you caused enough of a scene? Why do you keep wasting your time with people of his sort? Don't lower your standards!"

Rage flared within Du Jinruo the moment the words left his mouth. She violently threw off Gao Wei’s hand and snapped, "Gao Wei, what are you trying to say? Are you implying that you’re the refined one?"

"Exactly! I might not be perfect, but I have far more status than some guy named Kuang!" Gao Wei spat, thrusting a finger directly in front of Kuang Yunxian’s nose. "Lowering yourself like this, does it make you feel good? What possible benefit is there in being with this trash?"

"Gao Wei, that’s enough! Quit insulting people! What is wrong with Brother Yun Xian? He possesses both talent and wisdom; he is a teacher who nurtures others and has far more class than you ever will! If you didn't have your father to lean on, where would you be? I’ve heard that without your father’s influence, the Supervisor Guard Academy would have expelled you a long time ago!"

Du Jinruo laid the truth bare without hesitation, causing Gao Wei’s complexion to turn a ghostly pale.

"Who told you that? Who said such things? Who would even dare to expel me?"

"Stop putting on an act!" Du Jinruo felt a wave of nausea just speaking to him, yet she couldn't restrain herself after seeing Gao Wei's behavior.

"Staying out all night during the school term, drinking with those thugs you call friends, and harassing female students until they cry—did you really think I wouldn't find out?"

What repulsed her the most was Gao Wei’s constant performance, pretending as though he held some deep, unwavering devotion to her.

In reality, Du Jinruo had been bombarded with rumors of his many romantic scandals.

Word on the street was that whenever he drank, he would grab any girl nearby for a hug, only to tell them his heart belonged to another and that it was merely a drunken lapse in judgment.

It was simply... pathetic.

Initially, Du Jinruo hadn't believed the gossip. However, after hearing it repeatedly and even witnessing him drunk on the street, pulling a provocatively dressed woman aside, she had no reason left to doubt the truth.

This was why, despite Gao Wei pursuing her for years, she had never been moved. She knew exactly what kind of man he truly was.

Gao Wei was caught off guard, not expecting Du Jinruo to be so well-informed.

He stood stunned for a second before immediately pleading, "Xiao Ruo, is this why you've been rejecting me? I know, I just lose control when I've had too much to drink, but you're the only one I think about! I'm not actually involved with those women! Believe me, I swear I'll change for your sake. I'll change, okay?"

"There is no need! Please quit using me as your excuse, alright? How you live or what you do with those people is your own business, and I certainly have no desire to know about it!"

With those final words, Du Jinruo grabbed Kuang Yunxian and turned to leave.
