Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 188 I believe you didn't

Gu Youlian was very surprised, "Not returning it?"

Lin Qingping nodded, "Yes, I won't pay it back! It's not money I owe, so why should I pay it back?"

“But…” Gu Youlian looked around the shop, then hesitated.

"Don't be afraid. It's true that debts must be repaid, but there's a proper way to settle debts. There's no law that says a sister has to pay back money her brother owes!"

Gu Youlian still looked worried. "But he's your brother! How can he possibly pay back so much money? Aren't you going to do anything about it?" Gu Youlian found it unbelievable. Isn't it normal for an older sister to help her younger brother? If Gu Juncheng needed her help, she would definitely help him.

Lin Qingping's gaze deepened. "Not all brothers are worth helping. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions."

It's definitely not a good thing that her brother has accumulated so much debt.

"Big sister, let's close the shop for today," Lin Qingping instructed before heading towards the school.

She went to find her second sister, wanting to ask her if she knew anything about their mother and brother.

However, Lin Qingyun was not in the dormitory. There was a club activity today, and Lin Qingyun was promoting it on campus.

After learning the exact location from her second sister's roommate, Lin Qingping headed straight for the propaganda point.

The publicity booth was bustling with activity. When Lin Qingping arrived, she saw that a large crowd had already gathered there.

Faintly, you could hear excited female voices, as if people were arguing.

Lin Qingping had a vague sense of unease and quickly squeezed into the crowd. The scene that met her eyes made her head buzz.

Sure enough, her premonition was correct.

There was indeed a commotion, and the center of it all was none other than the second sister…

To be precise, it was the second sister who was pointed at and cursed, and that person was Liu Yan.

At this moment, the second sister had been scolded so badly that her face was pale, her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't say a word.

Lin Qingping suppressed her anger and stood in front of her second sister, Liu Yan's finger was practically pointing at Lin Qingping's nose.

Lin Qingping grabbed her finger and forcibly pulled it down. "Comrade Liu Yan, it's impolite to point at people while speaking."

Liu Yan sneered, "Then may I ask, esteemed female college student, is it polite to ask men for money in such large sums?"

Lin Qingping felt like a string had snapped, and it was buzzing in her head.

The man Liu Yan was referring to, was he Yun Qi?

As the older sister, she could see that Yunqi and her second sister were very close, but she could swear on her life that her second sister would never ask Yunqi for money!

However, if Liu Yan dared to come to my door like this, there was only one possibility—it was her brother.

Lin Qingping suddenly felt desperate. She always felt that cutting off ties with her family and ceasing all contact would prevent her from being entangled like in her previous life. However, the word "family" connected them to her family, making her mother and brother like leeches, impossible to shake off or sever. Even if she resorted to the law, she and her second sister still had an obligation to support her mother and father.

But no matter what, Liu Yan is standing here saying that Second Sister asked a man for money, and she will never admit it!

"Comrade Liu Yan." Lin Qingping stood ramrod straight, firmly protecting her second sister behind her. "May I ask who this female college student you're talking about is? And who is this man you're asking for money from? Where did you find him? Did you see him? How much money did you ask for? Do you have any evidence?"

A barrage of questions left Liu Yan stunned, but she quickly pointed fiercely behind Lin Qingping and said, "I'm talking about Lin Qingyun! That shameless slut! She asked Yunqi for money! She demanded at least two thousand yuan!"

There was an uproar in the crowd.

two thousand!

This is so shameless!

"My God! I never would have guessed she was this kind of person!"

"Yeah! How can she still have the nerve to be a student council member?"

"She even participated in a speech contest, saying she wanted to be an independent woman and a useful member of society! How can she not be ashamed!"

There was already a lot of discussion among the crowd.

Lin Qingping could feel her second sister's hand trembling as she gripped her clothes from behind, her voice choked with sobs as she said, "Sister, I didn't, I really didn't."

Lin Qingping knew perfectly well that she hadn't. She protected her sister tightly, her firm voice piercing through all the gossip, "Is that so? Then I can say it now: Comrade Liu Yan, because I look down on your character and am unwilling to cooperate with you in business, you harbor resentment, speak nonsense, and slander me, coming here to defame my sister's reputation to retaliate against me!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Yan retorted angrily.

“I’m not making this up. This happened last year, right here at your house. You were begging me, weren’t you? You wanted to start a factory with me. I refused you on the spot, and you were very embarrassed. You’ve held a grudge ever since!”

"I didn't!" Liu Yan retorted loudly.

“You have it,” Lin Qingping said calmly. “Look, I have the time, the place, the event, and most importantly, I have a witness. Tianjiao was with us at the time, and she knows everything that happened! What about you? You slandered my sister with just your words. Can I make you pay me back now? I'll say you owe me 100,000!”

After Lin Qingping finished speaking, she said to the students who were watching, "Or, I can tell you now, you took my money, please return it to me."

The student was stunned and then furious. "When did I take your money?"

“That’s right,” Lin Qingping said. “Anyone can make baseless accusations without any evidence, just by talking. But who would believe them?”

Some people in the crowd have already wavered.

"makes sense……"

"You say Lin Qingyun took Yunqi's money, what evidence do you have? Who saw it? Is there any written agreement?"

Liu Yan, of course, couldn't produce it, and her face turned red with anger.

"Or, why don't we call Yunqi over and ask him what your relationship is to Yunqi?"

Liu Yan didn't know where Yun Qi was, and even if she did, she wouldn't call out, because Yun Qi was definitely protecting Lin Qingyun!

Never fall into the trap of self-justification. This is Lin Qingping's insight.

Liu Yan is slandering her second sister. Even if the second sister cuts open her stomach to prove that she only ate two ounces of powder, those who don't believe her still won't believe her. It's better to throw this ball back at Liu Yan and let her prove herself!

Seeing that public opinion had shifted, Lin Qingping said seriously, "Comrade Liu Yan, your coming to our school and causing such a big impact has damaged Lin Qingyun's reputation. We are students and we are really terrified. Please come to the school with us to explain things clearly. Lin Qingyun cannot continue to carry this infamy!"

By now, Liu Yan was convinced that Lin Qingyun had asked Yun Qi for money, but she genuinely had no proof. When Lin Qingping suggested going to the school, she was overjoyed and immediately agreed, "Let's go..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a student shouted, "The Yunqi is here!"

Yunqi ran there, running like a madman, and the crowd automatically parted to make way for her to enter the circle.

Yunqi, breathless from running, roared at Liu Yan, "What are you doing at our school?"
