Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Coming to Vindicate Himself

Shen Nian and her party weren’t particularly early. By the time they arrived at the school auditorium for the assembly, quite a few people were already there.

And Shen Nian’s appearance, as expected, drew a great deal of attention.

After all, even though the rumors Qin Xueling had spread around school had been proven false, they had nevertheless made Shen Nian much more well-known.

In fact, many people hadn’t changed their opinion of Shen Nian just because the rumors had been cleared up.

Who could blame them? Shen Nian was pretty and got good grades—a natural target for resentment.

There were always those kinds of people, the ones who preferred to blame others for their own inadequacies rather than look for the problem in themselves.

"Hey, isn’t that Shen Nian from Class One? I heard she got married right after the college entrance exams!"

"Yeah, but there were rumors she was fooling around after getting married. How shameless!"

"Tsk, you guys are so behind the times! Those rumors were all fake. It was Qin Xueling who deliberately framed Shen Nian. Now she’s in police custody because of it, and I hear she’s going to be sentenced!"

"Seriously? She’s going to be sentenced? That’s scary!"

"Of course it’s true, and it’s her own fault. To think Shen Nian used to be such good friends with her, and she still tried to ruin her like that! Besides, the person who was actually fooling around was clearly Qin Xueling! I heard a lot of people saw her and her lover that day!"

"Tsk, tsk. How shameless!"

"Now that you mention it, I kind of feel bad for Shen Nian. She didn’t even do anything, yet someone tried to drag her name through the mud."

"Hey, look! There’s a man with Shen Nian. He doesn’t look like he’s from our school. You don’t think that’s her husband, do you?"

"Where, where? Let me see. Wow, he’s so handsome! If that’s really the man she married, Shen Nian is so lucky!"

"Tsk, tsk. Look at them, holding hands. Have they no shame?"

"What’s the big deal about holding hands? They’re married! Besides, they’re obviously very happy together! The people who spread those fake rumors must have been blind!"

***

Although no one came up to question Shen Nian directly, she overheard plenty of the discussions about them.

Especially when she heard someone remark on how good her relationship with Lu Cheng seemed, Shen Nian couldn’t help but look down at their intertwined hands.

From the moment they entered the auditorium, Lu Cheng had possessively taken her hand, and he refused to let go, even as they walked past crowd after crowd of onlookers.

At first, Shen Nian didn’t quite understand, but after hearing the gossip, it all clicked.

’Lu Cheng... He’s not jealous over those rumors, is he? Is this his way of staking his claim?’

’He wants everyone to know that *he* is her man! And that she, Shen Nian, isn’t messing around with anyone else!’

At that thought, Shen Nian couldn’t help but smile at Lu Cheng. ’This man is so adorably awkward!’

Many people were already watching Shen Nian, but her radiant smile toward Lu Cheng caught the eyes of even more.

Some people didn’t even know who Shen Nian and Lu Cheng were, but they remembered the way they looked at each other and smiled.

The two of them, simply by their own actions, had successfully shattered all the malicious rumors circulating about them at school.

From now on, the only rumors about them at school would be about how sweet the couple’s relationship was. There would be nothing else.
