However, as the onlookers pointed out, neither Zhang Xiangrong nor Mrs. Cao came out to refute the rumors.
Zhuang Qingning's heart suddenly sank.
Zhang Xiangrong and Mrs. Cao are essentially kind and good-natured characters.
Against Zhang Xiangrui and Mrs. Guo, such types of people most easily become victims of their slander. They might not know how to defend themselves against such accusations, which makes sense in the context.
Zhuang Qingning lowered her head, contemplating how to get them out of this predicament.
Just as she was thinking, Zhang Xiangrong and Mrs. Cao came out of the shop.
Perhaps due to their hurried exit and anger, Zhang Xiangrong appeared to be limping slightly, and Mrs. Cao, supporting him, had tears welling up in her eyes, and her face was lined with fury.
Similarly, Zhang Xiangrong's eyes were filled with anger.
Facing such a predicament and being slandered so blatantly, it was impossible not to be angry.
