Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1067

Chapter 1067: Malicious Rumors ( 2 )
Lu Jueyu pointed at the young woman and the middle-aged man and said, “Husband, I hate how he is looking at me. His gaze is disgusting.”

Hearing this, Li Chenmo’s face darkened. He looked in the direction his wife was pointing, and as soon as he saw the middle-aged man staring at his wife with lust in his eyes, he clenched his fists.

He patted his wife’s hand and said, “Wife, you stay here.”

Lu Jueyu held her husband’s hand and asked, “Will you get into trouble if you go over? That man is wearing a government staff uniform.”

“Don’t worry, he can’t do anything to me,” Li Chenmo assured her with a smile.

Li Lingyun heard his third brother’s words and said, “Third brother, I will go with you.”

Sensing the anger emanating from her husband, Lu Jueyu hesitated for a moment before following them.

Standing in front of the young woman and the middle-aged man, Li Chenmo said coldly, “Comrade, if you keep staring at my wife with your disgusting gaze, I won’t hesitate to help you clean it up.”

The young woman was stunned by his words and thought, ‘Why did his words sound familiar?’

The middle-aged man looked Li Chenmo up and down and asked haughtily, “Who said I’m looking at your wife?”

As soon as he said this, Li Lingyun crossed his arms and looked at the middle-aged man with shock, as if he were a pervert. He glared at him and shouted, “Don’t tell me you were looking at me or my third brother with your lustful gazes! We are normal men with wives!”

“I know that my family has good genes, and my brother and I are both very handsome. But you should stop your wishful thinking, we are not interested in you!” he added angrily, with a clear disgust in his eyes and voice.

As soon as he said these words, Lu Jueyu almost choked on her saliva, while Li Chenmo stared at his second brother as if he were looking at a madman.

As for the young woman and the middle-aged man, both of them were confused for a moment before realization dawned on them. The young woman looked at her uncle and asked, “Uncle, you are—”

Before she could finish, the middle-aged man cut her off, “Are you crazy?! If I were a ‘broken sleeve,’ would I marry your aunt and have your cousins?”

He then pointed at Li Lingyun and said angrily, “Comrade, you should watch your words. You are spreading rumors that could ruin my reputation. I could sue you!”

Li Lingyun lowered his crossed arms and raised his eyebrows at him.

“Since you’re not a ‘broken sleeve,’ then why were you looking at me or my brother with such lustful gazes?” he asked with a sneer.

“I wasn’t looking at you!” the middle-aged man refuted instantly.

“Oh, then you must have been looking at my sister-in-law,” Li Lingyun said coldly.

The middle-aged man was stunned by his words. Just now, there had been only the three of them in the direction where he had been staring. If he said he wasn’t looking at the men, then it meant he was looking at the woman.

When he glanced at the two men, he knew that if he admitted he was staring at the woman, he would definitely be beaten. While he could sue them, he would still have to endure the beating first.

He was someone who had never suffered due to his family’s background. It was impossible for him to be subjected to such humiliation. After considering the pros and cons, he finally made up his mind.

He gritted his teeth and said, “I—I was looking at you.”

The moment he said those words, the young woman’s face turned pale. She took several steps back from the middle-aged man and asked in disbelief, “Uncle, you really—What about my Aunt?!”

Due to the woman’s loud voice, several neighbors quickly walked over to check the situation, full of curiosity.

Seeing the neighbors approaching, the corners of Li Lingyun’s lips lifted slightly and a sly glint flashed in his cold eyes.

He turned to glare at the middle-aged man and said angrily, “Comrade, please have some self-respect! My brother and I don’t like men and we cannot accept your feelings. As a civil servant, how can you harbor such thoughts?!”

At these words, Lu Jueyu truly choked on her saliva and began coughing intensely.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

Startled by his wife’s sudden coughing, Li Chenmo quickly patted her back gently. He looked at her with concern and asked, “Wife, are you alright? Why did you suddenly cough like this?”

Lu Jueyu waved her hand while coughing, her teary eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at her second brother-in-law’s back.

She never expected her second brother-in-law to have such thick skin. To pull this kind of move—it was truly vicious. A rumor like this could destroy the middle-aged man’s future in an instant!

After all, in this era, love between the same gender was considered taboo and heavily condemned. Such an accusation didn’t just ruin the individual but could even implicate their family. No one would take this lightly.

As she had anticipated, the neighbors began pointing fingers at the middle-aged man and whispering among themselves. Some even spat on the ground and said, “Pei! How disgusting!”

Watching the neighbors scolding the middle-aged man without knowing the full situation, Lu Jueyu felt a twinge of discomfort in her heart. This era was truly harsh.

In her previous life, while many still couldn’t accept same-gender love, some countries had already embraced it.

Seeing how easily the neighbors condemned the man now, she felt pity—not for him, but for the countless innocent people who had been driven to despair by similar baseless rumors.

People like the original soul of her body, like the female educated youth who jumped into a well, and so many others who became victims of malicious gossip.

Noticing his wife’s strange expression, Li Chenmo asked softly, “Wife, what are you thinking about?”
