The male supporting character was actually myself.

Dong Muqian clicked on the link and his blood pressure shot up immediately. "Holy crap! Yu Chuchu, you're shameless! You're cheating on me with another man! I knew I was right!"

The photos are all of Yu Chuchu and a man whose face is not clearly visible. One of the photos clearly shows the two of them walking out of the Yu Tianxia residential area!

"Damn it! Damn it! I'm going to kill those two bastards!"

Just as he was getting furious and his blood was boiling, his phone received another notification—a new email needed to be checked.

[Dear Teacher Dong, I am a student who greatly admires you. I am really angry to see so many people spreading rumors and slandering you on the forum. Coincidentally, I saw your wife acting intimately with a strange man, so I took many photos.]

Some of these have already been uploaded to the forum to prove the other party's infidelity;

The remaining photos, which I felt were not suitable for posting online, are being sent to you in this manner. I would be honored if they could be of any help to you.

If there is another opportunity to help, I am willing to continue to serve you.

—From your revered student.

The attachment contains a large number of photos, some of which were posted on the forum and some that weren't.

With trembling hands, Dong Muqian saved all the photos in the album, carefully flipping through them one by one, trying to figure out what the men Yu Chuchu was hooking up with looked like.

However, this anonymous guy's photography skills are really bad. Several photos that clearly show the two people being intimate are blurry. The man's expensive watch on his wrist is clearly visible, but his face is either at the wrong angle or out of focus, making it blurry and hard to see clearly.

"Could it be..." He moved his phone back a little and squinted at it, "Where did Yu Chuchu find the time to hook up with a man? Could it be Yu Jiangchen?"

A question flashed through my mind in an instant. Judging from my usual control over her, Yu Chuchu shouldn't have been able to hook up with a guy so quickly.

But the person in the photo doesn't look much like Yu Jiangchen.

That guy is a pushover, just like his sister. I saw him at her wedding before; it's impossible for him to have changed so much in such a short time.

Moreover, a month ago, Yu Jiangchen said that his business was not doing well and he only received 20,000 yuan in wedding gifts. When he was supposed to support his older sister, he dressed very casually. But you can tell from his clothes in the photos that he is a fashionable and rich person!

In addition, given the personalities of Yu Chuchu and her brother, how could they possibly be willing to pretend to be important and live in such a high-end neighborhood?

Dong Muqian found Yu Chuchu's photo album and compared it for a long time before confirming that the person in the photo was a stranger.

Considering that she sometimes chats very enthusiastically online, it's highly likely that they met in person!

Maybe Yu Jiangchen didn't even come!

It was this complete stranger from beginning to end! The whole "brother borrowing money" thing was just him trying to find an excuse to divorce her after getting his hands on her, so he could hook up with a rich man...

In a moment of arrogance and self-importance, Dong Muqian imagined a grand drama unfolding before his eyes, his right fist slowly clenching as he gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Ha, this is truly a stroke of luck! With these incriminating clues in my hands, how could I possibly lose this round?" After carefully comparing the photos, he quickly found two more blurry photos showing an obviously intimate relationship and anonymously posted them in the trending thread.

Sure enough, the two blurry photos, so blurry that Yu Chuchu could barely make out her features, were identical to the original poster's photos when compared side by side. Since both were anonymous, many people didn't look closely and mistook his post for the original poster's.

"Aren't there still people trying to clear their names, saying they're just ordinary friends? Take a look at these two photos!"

"Damn! He even helps me flip my hair? I, a girl, can only accept three men doing that for me—my dad, my brother, and my future husband."

"This is completely confirmed; the man is a scumbag and the woman is despicable—there is no innocent party!"

"Teacher Dong must have noticed something a long time ago, otherwise why would he have come back immediately to tell his mother that his wife was cheating as soon as he saw her enter the upscale residential area? It seems that he had a premonition. This is not spreading rumors, is it? After all, the facts are right here."

"It doesn't count unless you catch them in the act, right?"

"The problem is, even if they're caught in bed together, if one party doesn't agree to a divorce, the other has to swallow their anger. It just goes to show that neither of them are good people..."

…………

Seeing the discussion quickly turn around and reach a stalemate, Dong Muqian felt much more relieved.

In this way, as long as you find a way to contact the person who posted the exposé, no matter what method you use, and get them to delete the audio or simply clarify that the audio is fake, you can turn your image back.

It's absolutely true that Yu Chuchu cheated on her boyfriend!

Suddenly, he changed his usual frugal attire, dressing brightly and entering upscale residential areas. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on. He'd clear his name first, then relentlessly tarnish Yu Chuchu's reputation, and stubbornly refuse to divorce her. Yu Chuchu would be trapped in his grasp sooner or later!

Dong Muqian became happier and happier as he thought about it, and put his phone aside to prepare his lesson.

Whether Liu Yingxiu was faking it or genuinely injured from the kick, she slumped listlessly on the sofa, clutching her chest, lost in thought.

So no one noticed that Dong Muqian's phone screen, which had been dark, suddenly lit up for a moment and then went dark again, as if someone had accidentally pressed a power button.

Yu Chuchu, who had sung her heart out and was a little hoarse and slightly tipsy, was helped back by Jiang Chen. This was the most fun she had ever had!

Just as her younger brother comforted her, all the past hardships are over. From now on, the two siblings are rich and confident. She doesn't have to worry about anything. Even if she makes a huge mess, she will have her brother as her support to help her bear it!

Whether it was the indiscriminate roar that had the effect, or whether money truly gives people confidence, in any case, Yu Chuchu completely filled the emptiness in her heart. She was neither humble nor arrogant, she would not bully anyone, and she would no longer swallow her anger and be bullied by anyone.

As an adult who has cautiously walked through more than 20 years, this moment marks the true completion of her coming-of-age ceremony—a psychological maturation, from which she no longer needs to fear anything!

Chapter Twenty-One: Turning the Tables and Becoming the Leading Lady!

"How do I report this to the police? Should I call or go to the police station?" The next morning, after washing up, Yu Chuchu sat at the dining table eating breakfast while looking at her phone. She calmly browsed the forums and took screenshots as evidence.

She plans to sue all those who took advantage of the situation to slander and smear her for defamation.

Whether you win the lawsuit or not is not important; what is important is cultivating a courageous heart to fight back!

Furthermore, be mentally prepared to bravely stand up and use your own experiences to warn everyone that you must face your inner flaws, repair your wounds in time, become strong and brave, and not be a people-pleaser or give anyone the opportunity to manipulate you.

"Go directly to the police station to report the incident. Judging from the speed of investigation in Lingnan City, it will probably take a little while before it has any effect," Jiang Chen replied while scrolling through his phone. "However, this matter has already blown up online, so the police should take it seriously and handle it as soon as possible. So go to the police station first when you leave."

Did you take the day off? I booked your appointment with the psychologist for 9:00 AM. If the time doesn't work out, I'll reschedule it for the afternoon.

Yu Chuchu shook her head while drinking her milk and said, "I don't have classes in the morning so I don't need to change the time. I need to leave a little earlier to go to the police station first and then see the psychologist."

Actually, I feel you've already helped me change a lot, and I've been trying to correct myself, so... isn't seeing a therapist quite expensive?

"You don't need to worry about things like price. Just remember that from now on, for my brother and me, any problem that can be solved with money isn't a problem. Worry about other things, like whether you're mentally prepared to face the gossip."

"Hmm, I'm sure I can do it." Yu Chuchu felt a warmth in her heart and then asked curiously, "It seems your company is doing very well! Are you handling company matters right now? You seem very busy every day. Are you sure it's okay that you're not physically present at Senhai? Can you work remotely?"

Oh, by the way, I remember you mentioned before that you were negotiating a very important project. How's it going?

The little white cat, perched on its host's shoulder, munched on dried fish. Hearing this, it wagged its fluffy tail and muttered softly, "Of course it's a failure. In the original story, the younger brother went to great lengths to sign that project, which led to a qualitative leap for the entire company. Only then did he die in a car accident, and all his assets went to that scumbag Dong."

Right now, my host is so busy helping you, how could he have time to do any projects?

He doesn't have the protagonist's halo, unlike the protagonists in those domineering CEO novels who don't have to worry about anything and are only busy flirting with girls and getting orders and projects done on their own..."

Jiang Chen was discussing script details with the top-notch team of divorce counselors when she asked, and casually replied, "Your brother is a business genius, so of course he negotiated it smoothly. Don't worry, once we get this project, we'll be set for life."

"Wow! That's amazing!" Yu Chuchu was completely taken aback by the hype.

She was naturally very happy to learn that her younger brother's career had a bright future.

However, she didn't know much about business, so she didn't ask too many questions. She just finished breakfast, changed her clothes, waved her hand, and said, "I'm going out now. Call me if you need anything."

“Okay, the bodyguards the law firm hired are in the lobby downstairs. You’ll see them when you get there. Remember to tell them to stay close to you!” Jiang Chen waved her hand and gave a wink. The well-fed and cuddly little dumpling bounced onto her shoulder and followed her out the door.

"I understand, thanks bro!"

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Chuchu got off the elevator and entered the lobby, she saw a man and a woman in bodyguard uniforms sitting in the waiting area.

"Hello Ms. Yu, we are professional bodyguards sent by Yuanda Law Firm." The smart and capable female bodyguard stepped forward and introduced herself: "My name is Yang Mei, and this is my colleague Lin Zhiyu. From now on, the two of us will work together to protect your personal safety until you leave Lingnan City."

You can contact us anytime with any problems you may have. I will even accompany you to the restroom. We are highly trained and professional. During your protection, we will legally collect necessary evidence, which will definitely play a positive role in your future litigation.

Yu Chuchu, dressed in a mint green dress, was startled. Her younger brother had only mentioned hiring a professional bodyguard from a law firm to protect her from being harassed by Dong Muqian. She really didn't expect it to be such a big deal!

Female bodyguards are slightly better, since smart and capable women in uniforms don't pose much of a visual threat.

But her colleague, Lin Zhiyu, was a bit too eye-catching!

With a height of nearly 1.9 meters and a robust physique, the muscles on his arms could be vaguely seen even through his uniform. Wearing sunglasses and earpieces, his aura was completely different when he stood there.

Are you really going to bring these two bodyguards to school?

Yu Chuchu was a little dazed. After the other party confirmed the employer again, she realized what was happening and hurriedly replied, "Oh, okay, then... I'll have to trouble you for the next period of time."

"No trouble at all, it's our duty." Lin Zhiyu stepped forward and opened the lobby door, saying respectfully, "Mr. Yu, we have customized the highest level of service that our law firm can currently provide for you. In addition, there are four colleagues working in plainclothes to prevent any unexpected situations from arising when there are many people and things get chaotic."

Our anti-spy camera bulletproof car is already waiting outside. Starting today, you will receive our full protection.

"Ms. Yu, this way please!"

Even after getting into the car, Yu Chuchu still couldn't recover.

According to the bodyguards, they will pick me up and drop me off whenever I go out, and someone will scout out my itinerary in advance to ensure I won't be photographed or harassed, etc.

"Host seems to have overestimated the protagonist's halo. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?" The little white cat, perched on Yu Chuchu's shoulder, dozed off listlessly and muttered, "Dong Muqian's pathetic little halo? Haha, two bodyguards would have taken care of everything. Why would he need me to be the last resort?"

Yu Chuchu was also wondering to herself that her younger brother was overreacting.

These protective measures are comparable to those of a major celebrity, aren't they?

The imposing bulletproof SUV drove away from the Yu Tianxia residential complex and headed straight for the nearest police station as instructed by its employer. After filing a police report, it went to the most famous mental health hospital to talk to a professional doctor.

When Yu Chuchu came out of the therapy room, she felt a sense of mental refreshment she had never felt before!

It seemed as if the whole world had suddenly become sunny and bright, giving her a fresh feeling of being reborn, and she wanted to try everything!

"Ms. Yu, where do you need to go next?" Yang Mei, the female bodyguard, asked softly, standing beside her.

Yu Chuchu looked at the long, black hair tied back with a black rubber band in the large glass window of the corridor, her unchanging hairstyle and bare face, and after examining herself for a moment, she replied, "Should I change my hairstyle to match this outfit better?"

"You're already beautiful, but you'd be even more gorgeous with a stylish new hairstyle!"

Yang Mei didn't hold back her praise and suggested, "I know a great hairstylist named Tony who will definitely satisfy you. Shall we get our hair done now?"

"Not only will I get my hair done, but I'll also try to learn makeup! I want to secretly become beautiful and amaze everyone!" She imagined the astonished and regretful expression on Dong Muqian's face when he couldn't even get close to her after she had completely changed from head to toe, and she suddenly felt even happier.

I'm going to become beautiful, make a comeback, and slap people in the face! From now on, I'm going to turn the tables and become the leading lady!

Chapter Twenty-Two: Dong Muqian's New Plan

In mid-May, the sun shone brightly, the flowers were in full bloom, and a gentle breeze blew. On Monday, the university was filled with youthful energy.

However, outside of the classroom, whenever three or five people gather together, you can vaguely hear words like "cheating," "newlywed teacher," "recording," and "photos."

In addition, online self-media outlets are jumping on the bandwagon from all angles, resulting in a flood of all sorts of messy short videos and the original audio recordings being widely circulated. This is giving the relevant school officials a real headache!

The main problem is that I don't know which rule to follow.

The incident has certainly had a negative impact on the school, but based on the audio that has been leaked so far, it cannot be used as evidence and there is no definite criminal behavior. Dong Muqian's PUA towards Yu Chuchu can at most be considered premeditated but unsuccessful. Even if she were to sue for mental distress compensation, it would be a matter between the couple.

To be precise, this doesn't even qualify as domestic violence; at most, it just shows that Dong Muqian is a bad person.

Yu Chuchu's alleged infidelity lacked any real evidence; throwing up a few blurry photos and accusing her of cheating was utterly disgraceful. To make matters worse, the technical department tried several times but couldn't figure out where the data went wrong, and they couldn't delete the original post immediately.
