"Well, this is all a misunderstanding. Don't I know Miss Yan of the Yan family? I heard about what happened between you two, and I assumed your family just wanted you to have a better life. I felt a bit indignant about the whole thing, which is why I ran my mouth."
Ning Yue thought to herself, "No one in their right mind would believe that!"
"I refuse to believe you would slander me out of thin air without Yan Qingqing's instructions. If you admit to it, this case will be easy to resolve, and I can consider accepting an out-of-court settlement. If you don't, then we'll just have to see each other in court."
Fu Fangmao's eyes instantly reddened. How could anyone who got into Tsinghua be a fool? He had already offended Ning Yue; he couldn't afford to offend the Yan family as well. Therefore, it was impossible for him to sell out Yan Qingqing.
"Really, no one egged me on," he insisted. "It was just me running my mouth."
