Chapter 472: Reality
Xue Xi: “?”
She shot a glance at Xiang Huai and thought, Are you so forgetful? Didn’t we go to watch a play together last time? Moreover, she’s my godmother!
However, she did not say this.
After all, Lin Jing’s identity was not ordinary. Moreover, judging from her style, she was more low-profile.
Xie Yingying did not notice the non-verbal battle between the two of them and immediately said, “Of course I like her. Who doesn’t like her? She has a husband who especially loves her and she is so formidable and beautiful! Aiya, I won’t speak further. Thank you, Instructor Xiang, for your pork ribs. I won’t disturb you guys anymore. I’ll leave first!”
Hugging the pork ribs, Xie Yingying ran to the dormitory.
Only then were Xue Xi and Xiang Huai left alone. Xue Xi then said, “Why is Godma coming to the school?”
Xiang Huai: “It’s usually for an inspection.”
He shot a glance at Xue Xi. Of course, Xiang Huai’s mother did not come here for a simple inspection. She must have come because she was worried that her daughter-in-law was not getting along with the rest in school.
His mother had really gone to great lengths for the little kid.
Xue Xi did not speak further about this matter and followed Xiang Huai around the school. She asked, “Who is more formidable between the Gu and Qian families?”
Gu Yunqing had been going against her time and time again. This time, she’d wanted to poach Deng He but could not do so. She would definitely have other tricks up her sleeves.
Hence, it was better to clarify things first.
Xiang Huai shot a glance at Xue Xi and said, “Neither is more formidable. The Qian family... Mhm, they’re very rich and no one dares to bully them. However, the Gu family is also well-connected and can affect everything. However, you don’t have to be polite with the younger generation of the Gu family. As long as no one dies, you can do whatever you want.
“Play as you please. I’ll protect you.”
Xue Xi nodded.
She was not afraid of anything other than bringing trouble to Xiang Huai.
Since he was so certain again, it seemed that nothing had happened.
The two of them were like ordinary couples. After walking around the school, Xiang Huai sent Xue Xi back to the dormitory. When they reached the dormitory’s entrance, Xiang Huai held her hand and his eyes were deep. “Little kid, it’d be nice if I didn’t have to work.”
Xue Xi: “?”
Xiang Huai: “This way, I can always accompany you.”
Xue Xi’s cheeks were burning, but she tried her best to maintain a cold attitude. “Fortunately, you’re working. Otherwise, you would disturb my studying.”
Xiang Huai burst out laughing. “Are books more important? Or me?”
Xue Xi purposely said, “Books, of course.”
Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow as he heard her spouting nonsense in all seriousness. “A book is a treasure trove, and beauty can also be found there.”
Xiang Huai took a step forward and approached Xue Xi. “Is the beauty in that book as beautiful as me?”
Xue Xi: “?”
Xiang Huai: “Can a beauty in a book accompany you to the hot springs?”
Xue Xi was surprised. “Hot springs?”
Xiang Huai seemed to have thought of something. His Adam’s apple bobbed and his eyes darkened. “Yes, there’s a famous hot spring in the suburbs of Beijing. Shall I bring you there this weekend?”
Xue Xi: “...”
The man’s burning gaze made her feel even more uncomfortable.
She took a step back. “Let me think about it.”
Xiang Huai burst out laughing. “Mhm, think about it.”
After saying that, he whispered, “You don’t have to prepare anything. I’ll prepare everything.”
Xue Xi was confused. “Prepare what?”
Xiang Huai lowered his head and asked softly, “Do you still remember the balloons in the provision store in Bin City?”
Xue Xi: “?”
Xiang Huai moved closer to her and almost touched her ear. “Do you want to play with Brother?”
Xue Xi: “!!!!”
She felt that this sentence contained ill intentions!
What the hell was that balloon?
Xue Xi bit her lip and said after a while, “We’ll talk about it later.”
Just as Xiang Huai was about to take the chance to attack again, Xue Xi’s phone rang, interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
Xiang Huai: “...”
Xue Xi walked to the side and picked up the call. Xie Yingying’s sobbing voice came from the other end. “Sister Xi, something happened!”
...
...
When Xue Xi returned to the dormitory, she saw that Li Zixia’s eyes were red from crying.
Xie Yingying persuaded her, “It’s not your fault. Don’t cry.”
Li Zixia hugged her knees. Her phone kept ringing, but she was holding it back and ignoring it.
However, when she heard the door open, she turned around and saw Xue Xi. Tears rolled down her cheeks again. “Sister Xi, I’m sorry!”
Xue Xi frowned. “What exactly happened?”
Xie Yingying’s eyes were also red as she said, “Sister Xi, Liu Zhao’s matter has been exposed again.”
Xue Xi’s eyes turned cold. “Let me take a look.”
These five simple words made Xie Yingying and Li Zixia, who were in the dormitory, heave a sigh of relief, as though they had taken a tranquilizer.
Xue Xi unlocked her phone and realized that the three of them were trending again.
Moreover, this time, their private information was revealed.
The trending topic was: #Huaxia University suicide case has new developments#
“According to sources, the case of Ms. Liu’s suicide had a counterattack. It had been confirmed that Ms. Liu had been abused by her three dormitory mates before she committed suicide.
“Two days ago, after Ms. Liu’s mother was exposed to the reporters, Mr. Li’s father sought out Ms. Liu’s mother and promised to give her a sum of money to make her remove the trending searches and delete the thread. This series of actions was too much to handle.
“Can you really do whatever you want with money? This case is telling us that money can really do anything!
“Liu Zhao’s corpse had not even turned cold, and the three students who had forced her to her death were all being carefree and happy at school. They did not have any intention of repenting and even encouraged their parents to use money to buy their lives!
“There was even a recording in the attachment!”
Li Zixia’s father’s voice was very clear. “I’ll give you 500,000 yuan. I hope you won’t pursue this matter.”
...
This was the first trending topic.
The second trending topic: #The only daughter of the director of Li Sheng Pharmaceutical Factory#
“How ironic. Li Sheng Pharmaceutical Company produced medicine to treat people, but it could not treat others’ lives.
“‘I, Xue Xi, have excellent grades, but I’m cold and heartless. I led the group to isolate my classmate and ostracize others, causing them to commit suicide. It’s truly a heinous crime!’
“Li Sheng Pharmaceutical Company has raised such a daughter. Do we really dare to use their products?”
...
The two trending topics were respectively first and second.
Li Zixia cried and said, “My father only knows how to settle things with money. I was wondering why he didn’t scold me when I fought with Gu Yunqing that day. So that’s what happened!”
Xie Yingying was also panicking. “It was originally none of our business, but now, it seems like we’re really guilty!”
Li Zixia picked up her phone and realized that Mr. Li was calling her again. She was so angry that she hung up. “Why didn’t my father ask me for my opinion before he did something? This directly confirms that we were the ones who forced Liu Zhao to her death! Now, those who don’t know the situation online are being led astray and are all bashing us! There are still people who will come after us! Who exactly is the one who is messing with us?!”
It was Gu Yunqing.
Xue Xi did not even need to think to know that it was her.
However, she wanted to use Liu Zhao to suppress her?
Xue Xi lowered her eyes and said calmly, “Don’t be afraid.”
She walked to her seat and turned on her computer. She edited the news she had put together last time. When there were no more mistakes, she narrowed her eyes and pressed the enter button.
At the same time, Xie Yingying exclaimed, “Sister Xi, things have changed!”
Xue Xi: “?”
She had just posted the thread. How could it be so fast?
Xie Yingying exclaimed, “Sister Xi, the surveillance footage of Liu Zhao’s suicide has been exposed!”
Xue Xi’s pupils constricted.
“...”
