Bai Wanwan had barely finished speaking when many people started glancing their way.
"Explain? What's there to explain? We all have eyes. We saw it perfectly clearly—Shen Lu pushed Xiao Lan to embarrass her!"
"Bai Wanwan, don't you and Shen Lu always fight? Why are you defending her now?"
"At school, you were always picking on Xiao Lan. So, did you two come here together just to ruin her birthday party?"
...
Bai Wanwan didn't have a great reputation herself. Most of the classmates here today disliked her, and now that they had an opportunity, they were letting her have it.
"You people!" Bai Wanwan was furious. She was just trying to be fair, but these people were dragging her through the mud right along with Shen Lu. 'They're absolutely rotten!'
Shen Lu stepped in front of Bai Wanwan, giving her a look that told her to stay calm.
Bai Lei chimed in, trying to soothe his sister. "Sis, don't make things worse."
