249 RUMOR VERSUS RUMOR (2)

By the start of November, another mind-blowing rumor spread. This time it happened not in the socialite circle, but in Xue Guangxi's university. It was a voice recording of a female student who was 'confessing' a crime that was done to her. From what could be made from the statement in between the sobs, it was a form of an assault.

And that assailant was…

Xue Guangxi.

Or so it was implied.

It was the start of another headache to the Xue family.

One pleasant morning in autumn, as Xue Guangxi alighted from his car, students both male and female around him turned their heads towards him and whispered with one another.

"It was him."

"Yeah."

"He looks innocent… Yet it appears he's a wolf in sheep's clothing... Who would have thought…"

He could hear bits of the murmurs yet he could not decipher the meaning behind such condemnation. It was unnerving.
