Chapter 1097: Humiliated! (Lu Guixin Part 21)

Editor: Atlas Studios

As soon as Tian Rong said that, silence descended on the room. Everyone took out their phones with suspicious faces and logged into Weibo.

At the top of the trending list was a post about Xia Cheng spreading false rumors.

Everyone was surprised to see that. They glanced at Xia Cheng before clicking on the post. There, they saw a popular Weibo post...

[Xia Cheng was the one who sent me the photos of Tan Ying and Lu Guixin. The content of my last post about them going to a hotel was also sent to me by Xia Cheng. Picture One shows a screenshot of the three million yuan she transferred to me, while Picture Two shows a screenshot of our conversation where she asked me to publish the Weibo post. Lu Guixin and Tan Ying went to the hotel to celebrate Elder Tan’s birthday. They weren’t there for indecent purposes. I apologize for the distress caused to Lu Guixin. I’m willing to bear the legal responsibility for this. I’m sorry. [Picture One][Picture Two]]

The comment section below the post was flooded.

[Did I just slap myself in the face? And that soon? To think I spoke up so much for Xia Cheng! I can’t believe that a model student like her came up with the content of that post.[Picture]]

The picture was a screenshot of the original post.

[Wow, her choice of words. She really put the experienced content writers to shame there.]

[What the f*ck? She’s disgusting! Everyone knows how important reputation is to a girl, and yet she deliberately spread such false rumors. She sure is something!]

[She’s only in Year Three, and yet she’s so good at spreading false rumors. If I were Lu Guixin, I would’ve beaten her to death for doing that to me!]

[She even dragged Elder Tan’s name through the mud! How’s that a model student?]

The truth was out now.

All the students in the infirmary turned to look at Xia Cheng with varied expressions from disbelief to shock and to disdain and disgust. As they recalled how she had confidently declared that she wasn’t the culprit and that she had been wronged and how she magnanimously said that she didn’t want to pursue the matter, they couldn’t imagine just how shameless she was to say that.

They were just as disgusted as they had been sympathetic to her moments ago, and they felt like a fool for defending her. As they looked at the two posts, they could imagine her with a sinister expression as she typed up those words.

"How low can you be? For you to do that! Lu Guixin would’ve been expelled if she hadn’t been able to prove her innocence!"

"That’s not only it! The photos were so clear and well-taken, too. Given how pretty Lu Guixin is, everyone could recognize her at a glance. She would have to hide and face criticism whenever she goes out!"

As Xia Cheng read the hate comments on Weibo, she could hear her classmates criticizing and scolding her. Her mind drew a blank. How did this happen?!

"It seems that the account that cleared Lu Guixin’s name was the one that spread false rumors about her," a guy suddenly exclaimed. "What the? Wasn’t the account deleted? I remember the post was deleted as well. How did they get restored?"

"I’m glad they did! That’s how we managed to find the culprit! They have to pay for spreading false rumors!"

"I would’ve never imagined it. Xia Cheng behaved as if she was all kind and generous, but it turned out that she was capable of doing such dirty deeds," somebody mumbled in disgust.

"She’s jealous of how close Lu Guixin is to Zhou Fu..."

"How wicked. Destroying their reputations just because she’s jealous..."

Xia Cheng’s fingers trembled nonstop. Panic filled her eyes as she denied vehemently, "Nonsense! It’s all false! I didn’t do that!"

She looked up agitatedly, only to meet her form teacher’s disappointed gaze. It was like a bucket of cold water was poured down on her. She froze, and her face turned ashen.

"Well, the police have already stepped in to investigate the matter. As to whether it was your doing or not, they’ll have an answer soon enough." Tian Rong sneered. "It’s not your call whether you want to pursue the matter or not."

...

Inside the Academic Affairs Office.

Mr. Zhang looked sternly at Lu Guixin. "This matter has a bad influence. You have to apologize to Xia Cheng and reflect on your actions in front of the entire school."

"Xia Cheng’s always been a kind and magnanimous student. I’m sure she won’t hold it against you," the other teacher chimed in. If she wanted to do that, she would’ve reported Lu Guixin to the police for assault long ago.

Xi Yan’s face darkened. Just as she wanted to speak up for Lu Guixin, the phone on Mr. Zhang’s desk rang.

It was a call from the principal’s assistant.

Mr. Zhang put the call on speaker mode.

"Mr. Zhang, the police are here. The principal wants you to bring the student over."

Did Xia Cheng call the police? Well, Lu Guixin was the one at fault in the first place. Despite his surprise at the police’s arrival, he said, "Sure. Lu Guixin’s with me right now. I’ll bring her over to the police officers."

The assistant froze. "The police aren’t here for Lu Guixin. They’re here for Xia Cheng."

"What?" Mr. Zhang was completely confused now. "But Lu Guixin beat up Xia Cheng, no?"

The assistant explained, "Xia Cheng’s parents called the school and said that they wouldn’t pursue the matter since they were very sorry for what she’d done to Lu Guixin."

Mr. Zhang still couldn’t grasp what was going on. "What exactly has Xia Cheng done?"

"Haven’t you seen the latest Weibo news?"

Mr. Zhang hurriedly logged onto his computer to check the news. He stiffened when he saw the article about Xia Cheng deliberately defaming Lu Guixin. When he looked up and met Lu Guixin in the eyes, he recalled everything he had said to her moments ago. It felt like a slap to the face!

Even the teacher who had spoken up for Xia Cheng just now immediately went to read the news. Her cheeks turned red when she realized that the so-called model student she had vouched for was really the culprit.

Not expecting to be proven wrong so quickly, she hung her head low in shame and hurriedly left the office with an "I’m going back to work."

...

Xi Yan led Lu Guixin out of the office building before looking sideways at her. The girl had, at some point, put on her gold-rimmed glasses again. "Come on. Let’s go have lunch. What do you want to eat?"

"Thank you, Ms. Xi, but I’m skipping lunch. I’d like to go back and rest." Lu Guixin didn’t have much of an appetite. She just wanted to go back to her dorm and sleep.

"That’s fine." Xi Yan didn’t force her against her wishes. "Bring some snacks with you for the classes in the afternoon. You can eat them when you’re hungry."

"Okay." Lu Guixin nodded her head obediently.

Seeing how the girl was behaving obediently again, Xi Yan couldn’t help but smile. "You’ll surely have to reflect on yourself in front of the entire school next Monday, though. It was wrong of you to resort to violence."

Lu Guixin responded, "I know."

Having seen how Lu Guixin had flared up, Xi Yan didn’t dare take her obedience for real. In fact, she still had lingering trepidation about the incident earlier.

Xi Yan then pondered for a second before asking, "Do you want to go back to the capital?"

She didn’t know why Lu Guixin had chosen to come to Ming City High School, but it was clear that she wasn’t happy here.

The girl tilted her head and pushed the frame of her glasses up. "Let me think about it."

Xi Yan nodded. "Sure."

...

After splitting with Xi Yan, Lu Guixin saw Tian Lu running over from afar when she reached the main path in front of the academic building.

Tian Lu stopped in front of Lu Guixin and put a hand on her waist while she smoothed her messy fringe and said in between pants, "Are you okay? Did the balding teacher make things difficult for you?"

Concern was written all over her face.

Lu Guixin shook her head. "No."

"Are they going to punish you for beating Xia Cheng up?"

"No."

"Then were you asked to reflect on yourself under the national flag?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Yes."

Tian Lu had expected this. She waved her hand and said, "It’ll be fine. I’ll help you to find a few examples online after tomorrow’s exams. You’ll be fine if you copy here and there."

What the hell? Is he out of his mind?! Tian Lu couldn’t believe her ears. He’s even trying to provoke Guixin now?
