But before she could think of a good excuse, a man in the corner suddenly spoke loudly, "She's lying! Her husband is clearly a rich man, tall and handsome, like a mixed-race… I just saw him outside!"
"Yes, I saw him too!" others immediately echoed.
Chen Jianguo's sinister gaze immediately shifted to her, "Is what they're saying true?"
"No," Zhixi said calmly, "The man they're talking about is my brother. In fact, my husband doesn't even know I'm pregnant yet; I was planning to tell him after confirming it."
Although her face remained calm, her heart was truly speechless. This was the vile nature of people; seeing no hope of escape for themselves, they still desperately tried to drag her down.
