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

Kuang Yunxian’s brow furrowed as he asked, "If I run, what about you?"

"They won’t do anything to me," she replied.

Du Jinruo was well aware that although she was safe from their violence, they would definitely target Kuang Yunxian. Was it truly a smart move to stay and take a beating instead of escaping right now?

Kuang Yunxian’s expression turned somewhat grave. "If I were to just flee like this, I would be unworthy of being called a man. If things get out of hand later, remember to stay back and protect yourself."

Du Jinruo was momentarily dazed, wondering what his intentions were.

Still, she couldn't deny the sense of comfort she felt knowing that Kuang Yunxian refused to abandon her or run away in this moment.

While they were speaking, Gao Wei and his followers had already closed in, forming a circle around them.

Gao Wei reached out, attempting to grab Du Jinruo.

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

Hearing this made Du Jinruo’s blood boil. She violently shook off Gao Wei’s hand and snapped, "Gao Wei, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that you’re so refined?"

"Yes, exactly! I might not be refined, but I have more status than any Kuang!" Gao Wei spat, pointing his finger directly at Kuang Yunxian’s nose. "Degrading your own status—does that actually work for you? What possible benefit is there in being with this trash?"

"Gao Wei, that’s enough! Stop insulting people! What is wrong with Brother Yun Xian? He possesses talent and knowledge; he can teach and mentor others. He has far more class than you ever will! If you weren't hiding behind your father's shadow, where would you be? I’ve heard that without your father’s backing, you would have been kicked out of the Supervisor Guard Academy a long time ago!"

Du Jinruo exposed the truth without holding back, causing Gao Wei’s face to drain of color.

"Who said that? Who says such things? Who would dare to expel me?"

"Stop pretending!" Du Jinruo felt a sense of loathing just speaking to him, but she couldn't stay silent while Gao Wei acted this way.

"Spending nights away from school, drinking with those thugs, harassing female students until they cry—did you really think I didn't know?"

What repulsed her the most was how Gao Wei constantly put on a performance for her, acting as if his feelings were deep and unwavering.

In reality, Du Jinruo had heard plenty of rumors regarding his many romantic flings.

Word was that whenever he drank, he would inevitably grab any girl nearby for a hug, only to tell them his heart belonged to someone else and that it was merely a drunken mistake.

It was simply... disgusting.

Du Jinruo hadn't believed it the first time she heard it, but after the stories repeated and she personally witnessed him drunk on the street, pulling at a provocatively dressed woman, she had no reason to doubt it.

Thus, despite Gao Wei pursuing her for years, she was never moved because she saw him for exactly who he was.

Gao Wei was stunned that Du Jinruo was aware of these things.

After a moment of shock, he immediately turned to her and said, "Xiao Ruo, is this the reason you rejected me? I know, I just lose control when I’ve had too much to drink, but I’ve always been thinking of you! I'm not involved with those people! Believe me, I promise I’ll change for you. Can I change?"

"There’s no need! Please stop using me as your excuse, alright? How you live your life is your own business, and whether you do anything with them is also your affair. I certainly have no desire to know!"

As she spoke, Du Jinruo grabbed Kuang Yunxian to lead him away.
