Chapter 303 The Innocent?
Faced with He Yuzhu's questioning, Xu Damao did not answer a word, but instead looked indifferent.
In contrast, there were several members of the Jia family.
At this moment, Jia Dongxu had a gloomy expression, while Jia Zhangshi was full of anger, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction as she looked at Xu Damao.
Most importantly, Jia Zhangshi's gaze toward He Yuzhu was equally hostile.
Although Jia Zhangshi looked displeased, she did not jump out to say anything.
After all, Jia Dongxu is still the pillar of the family, and he should be the one in charge.
As for Qin Huairu, she was keeping her head down at this moment.
However, Li Qin noticed that Qin Huairu's face was full of embarrassment.
Yi Zhonghai originally thought that He Yuzhu had some kind of leverage over Xu Damao and wanted to take the opportunity to teach Xu Damao a lesson.
But to my surprise, I heard this from He Yuzhu.
Although Yi Zhonghai was somewhat speechless, He Yuzhu was, after all, his top henchman.
Even knowing there's something wrong with this, he now has no choice but to continue supporting He Yuzhu.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao with a serious expression:
"Xu Damao, is what Zhu Zi said earlier true?"
Xu Damao could ignore He Yuzhu's questioning, but he couldn't remain calm when faced with Yi Zhonghai's questioning.
Yi Zhonghai was an old man, and he still held some prestige in the courtyard.
In addition, Xu Damao had been targeted by Yi Zhonghai quite a bit before, so Xu Damao was also somewhat intimidated by Yi Zhonghai.
Before Xu Damao could speak, Li Qin suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
As Li Qin burst into laughter, the faces of those around him contorted with the urge to laugh but unable to.
Upon hearing Li Qin's laughter, He Yuzhu immediately looked over with an angry expression.
Li Qin simply didn't take He Yuzhu seriously and ignored him completely.
"Li Qin, what are you laughing at?"
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai suddenly looked at Li Qin with an unfriendly expression.
Yi Zhonghai already had a problem with Li Qin, and now seeing Li Qin causing trouble while he was doing his work, he was even more dissatisfied.
His eyes also turned somewhat sinister.
Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Li Qin laughed for a while before slowly stopping, then said with a strange smile.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but I just couldn't help it when I heard something so funny."
As Li Qin spoke, he looked at Yi Zhonghai with an apologetic gaze.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Yi Zhonghai frowned.
Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's face and eyes revealed even more anger;
"Li Qin, what do you mean by that? Aren't you looking down on me? What was so funny about what I just said?"
Li Qin then gave He Yuzhu a strange look, and then said in a playful tone:
"Isn't it funny? Why don't you ask the people around you if they think what you just said is funny?"
As he said this, Li Qin also gestured with his eyes to the crowd watching the scene.
He Yuzhu still doesn't realize the problem and looks at everyone around him with a puzzled expression.
Only then did I realize that although the people around me weren't laughing, their expressions were all very strange.
The anger in He Yuzhu's eyes subsided somewhat, and a sense of confusion gradually began to rise within him.
Seeing this, Li Qin spoke again;
"You just said that Xu Damao was spying on Jia's sister-in-law, but I want to ask you, besides your own words, who else can prove this?"
Li Qin was right next to Xu Damao just now, and he was certain that everyone except He Yuzhu was doing their own thing.
No one paid any attention to Xu Damao's gaze or eyes.
Therefore, as soon as Li Qin spoke, the people around him looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
Seeing this, Li Qin spoke again;
"To be honest, given your relationship with Xu Damao and what happened in the courtyard before, I really have some doubts about the truth of what you just said."
No one can guarantee that you're not trying to ruin Xu Damao's reputation, or that you're looking for an excuse to get back at him.
The crowd that had been watching the scene from the sidelines nodded slightly upon hearing this.
The main issue is that He Yuzhu and Xu Damao have never gotten along since childhood and often have conflicts.
Using one's hands is a common occurrence, and using one's mouth is as frequent as eating and drinking.
The conflict between the two is well-known, and given He Yuzhu's reckless and unruly personality, it's entirely possible that he would frame Xu Damao.
After Li Qin spoke, Xu Damao, who had remained silent, suddenly had a glint in his eyes.
He was very quick-witted; Li Qin had already said the words, so he naturally knew what to do.
Xu Damao's face immediately contorted with anger as he shouted at He Yuzhu:
"You stupid Zhu, I never thought you were such a despicable person, with such sinister intentions, using such words to frame me in public."
"You're trying to ruin my reputation."
Xu Damao's acting skills are also on point.
At this moment, his face was full of helplessness after being framed and dissatisfaction with He Yuzhu.
After hearing Li Qin and Xu Damao's words, the people around them became even more convinced that He Yuzhu was lying.
This turn of events infuriated He Yuzhu.
He looked at Xu Damao with disdain and said:
"Xu Damao, you son of a bitch! You're a scoundrel, a treacherous villain. What reputation do you have left?"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Li Qin waved his hands repeatedly.
"No matter what, we're all from the same compound. Let's talk things out, but personal attacks are inappropriate."
"Besides, you said Xu Damao is a bad apple, a treacherous villain. I just want to know what bad things he's done that made you say such things about him?"
To be honest, at the beginning of the story, many people in the courtyard kept saying that Xu Damao was a bad guy.
He's a petty person.
Li Qin agreed that Xu Damao was a petty person, but he found it strange that Xu Damao was a bad apple.
If you watch the whole series and take a fair view, you'll find that Xu Damao didn't actually do anything particularly heinous.
How come in the mouths of He Yuzhu, the deaf old woman, Yi Zhonghai and others, they became born bad seeds and heinous villains?
It was precisely because of this doubt that Li Qin asked his question with a curious expression when He Yuzhu spoke.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, He Yuzhu instinctively wanted to bring up the evil deeds Xu Damao had committed.
But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that Xu Damao's grudge against him was just a personal one, even though it was directed at him.
However, he couldn't say what heinous crime he had committed.
In fact, not only He Yuzhu, but everyone around him also had a thoughtful expression on their faces.
I don’t know when it started, but Xu Damao became known as a bad guy.
As more and more people talked about it, everyone actually came to believe that Xu Damao was a bad person.
But now, upon closer reflection, I suddenly realize that Xu Damao didn't actually do anything wrong.
