"You start trouble and then think you can just leave as if nothing happened? Where's the justice in that? Tan Lu, the one who just spread the rumor, is your friend, right? Tell your friend to clarify things, and if she can't, she'd better apologize before leaving!" Xia Enci grabbed Tan Lu by the arm.
Tan Lu's arm was fiercely seized in front of everyone, and she couldn't break free, looking quite embarrassed. Unable to contain herself, she blurted out, "What I said is true! If you don't believe me, go ask around, lots of people know it! Jiang Zhe, do you dare to come out and confront me? Do you dare say you didn't give up on the last piano competition?"
Jiang Zhe lifted his eyes, and although sitting, his gaze made Tan Lu feel crushed; she felt an inscrutable pressure in his eyes that left her completely powerless to retaliate.
The rest were still whispering among themselves, with most still believing Tan Lu's words.
