Chapter 313: The Lawyer’s Letter

After much persuasion from Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, Li Xiang and Dong Zhongying reluctantly called their parents—Xiang Xiaoxia and Liang Meijuan.

This was all part of Youxi’s master plan.

By forcing a public confession, they could:

  1. Announce their relationship openly
  2. Dispel the “homewrecker” rumors
  3. Reveal their identities as C-site founders
  4. Use the parent-teacher meeting to break the news to their families

It was a flawless strategy—avoiding awkward explanations while ensuring swift acceptance from both parents and the public.


Call with Xiang Xiaoxia:

“Hello, is this Mei Fang’s parent? Your child—”

Ugh, if you’re calling to say my son got hit by a car and needs money for treatment, at least come up with a new scam—”

“Wait! I’m his homeroom teacher, Dong Zhongying!”

After verifying his identity, Dong explained the situation: “We’re calling about your son’s… early romance at school.”

“Oh… that.”

Xiang Xiaoxia remained unfazed. This kid—can’t keep his love life private? She just hoped Xia Yuan wouldn’t suffer collateral damage.

“Teenagers dating is normal. Discipline him, but don’t force a breakup. My son’s circumstances are… unique.”

(Internally: My millionaire CEO son shouldn’t be shamed for dating! This teacher’s an idiot!)

When Dong clarified Mei Fang was now with Lin Youxi, the line went silent—followed by an earth-shaking roar:

“WHERE IS THAT LITTLE BRAT? PUT HIM ON THE PHONE!”

Mei Fang frantically gestured for Dong to save him.

“Ah, he’s… writing his confession now. Since you’re in Baizhou, we’ll handle it—”

“I’LL BE THERE TOMORROW!”


Meanwhile, Li Xiang’s call with Liang Meijuan:

In stark contrast, Liang Meijuan reacted with calm confusion, promising to discuss it with Youxi that evening.


Back in the Office:

Mei Fang and Youxi drafted their confessions.

“How do you format these? I’ve never written one before,” Youxi admitted.

“Neither have I, but my dad wrote plenty—for smoking, drinking, gambling…”

(Their real mission: Crafting a legally sound statement to preempt further harassment.)


The Walk of Shame (Triumph):

Emerging from the office, the couple faced a gauntlet of whispers—until Mei Fang boldly grabbed Youxi’s hand.

“Let them talk,” he whispered.

“Agreed.”

Youxi swung their clasped hands defiantly as they marched down the hallway, silencing gossips mid-sentence.


Confrontation:

At Youxi’s classroom door, they encountered Fang Yan—fresh from her own scolding.

“Stealing someone’s boyfriend and flaunting it? Disgusting,” she spat.

“Watch your mouth,” Mei Fang snapped.

Youxi merely smiled and pulled out her phone.

“By the way, Fang Yan—expect a cease-and-desist letter from our lawyers for defamation. The photo you took? Illegal surveillance. The post? Cyberbullying.”

She leaned in. “C-site’s legal team loves making examples of people like you.”

Fang Yan paled.

Mei Fang stepped forward, shielding Youxi. “You’re 18 now—old enough to know slander carries legal consequences.”

“Slander?!” Fang Yan scoffed. “We’ve all known about your affair for ages! Even Ce-jie saw you two making out! Stop pretending, you cheating—”

“One more word,” Mei Fang growled, “and I’ll—”

“Ah Fang, why bother reasoning with strays?”

Youxi patted his shoulder. “I’ll handle this. Wouldn’t want them photoshopping you bullying girls.”

As Mei Fang left, Fang Yan’s clique circled Youxi—though notably missing Shang Ce.

“Think you’re untouchable? You’ve just angered all of Xia Yuan’s fans,” Fang Yan sneered. “Do you even know how many followers she has on C-site?”

Youxi smiled. “Haven’t checked lately.”

“My boyfriend—a 100K-follower C-site creator—already uploaded that photo. By tonight, your reputation will be ruined.”

“Oh no…”

Youxi feigned Mei Fang’s nervous tic. “100K followers? Which account? Let me verify—”

“Doesn’t matter! Just wait for the internet hate brigade!”

“Sure.” I’ll just check the backend logs later.

Fang Yan’s friends jeered:

-“Homewreckers deserve this!”
-“We won’t go easy on you!”

“You should prepare too,” Youxi said calmly. “Unlike Ah Fang and Yuan Yuan… I don’t forgive.”

She locked eyes with Fang Yan. “Expect a lawyer’s letter. Are you all accomplices? I can CC everyone.”

Fang Yan burst out laughing. “Lawyer’s letter?! Who do you think you are? Some legal drama protagonist?”

Her friends cackled until Youxi added:

“I did pick up some law… when I sent my uncle to prison.”

The laughter died.

“W-what?”

Whispers erupted:
-“Did she really jail her uncle?”
-“Bullshit! Country bumpkins don’t—”

But Fang Yan’s bravado faltered as Youxi walked away, back straight.

Her plan hinged on one truth: Xia Yuan must feel betrayed.

No way would Yuan tolerate her best friend dating her ex so soon. Their strained interactions today proved it.

Once Yuan’s fan army mobilized tonight, Youxi would drown in hate.

Just imagining her downfall…

Fang Yan shuddered with glee.
