Chapter 59 - 60: Xia Yangyang, I won’t let you off!
Xia Yangyang took a deep breath: “You’re not a man-eating tiger, why would I be afraid of you?”
Gu Qichen chuckled lightly: “I promised to take you out for a feast, but I noticed you didn’t eat much tonight. Come on, let’s go get something to eat.”
Xia Yangyang was not in the mood for food, but she was compelled by Gu Qichen to eat some.
The next day.
When Xia Yangyang went to school, she heard various rumors.
Gong Xue’er had invited many classmates to her wedding, so the events of the previous night had already caused a stir.
Someone even recorded the whole thing on their mobile phone and posted it on the school forum.
The video showed Gong Xue’er kneeling down, begging Lu Haotian for forgiveness. She looked utterly humble and wretched.
Xia Yangyang ran into fellow journalism students.
They all gathered around to say, “Yangyang, you were friends with someone like Gong Xue’er. You treated her so well, but she stole your boyfriend and viciously framed you. We’re certain she was the one who spread those rumors about you being kept by men. We misunderstood you.”
“Yeah, Gong Xue’er is really terrible. We all initially thought she was a lady of a rich family, but she got where she is through such despicable methods. She is a disgrace to our school.”
“You may not know, but Gong Xue’er has been expelled. The principal and dean both attended the wedding yesterday and witnessed her scheming firsthand. They reportedly expelled her right after they returned.”
“She’s really unfortunate then. With such a bad reputation, I doubt any school would accept her. Without a university diploma, her future is finished.”
“This is all her fault. If someone like her became successful, she’d only bring harm to others.”
As the crowd was discussing animatedly, Gong Xue’er was seen leaving the dean’s office.
She was pushing her luggage and carrying her backpack, apparently preparing to leave the school.
When Gong Xue’er saw Xia Yangyang, she paused and stopped.
The students who were originally surrounding Xia Yangyang all moved towards Gong Xue’er.
You Lili said, “Isn’t this our Mistress Lu? Why do you have to carry such big and small bags by yourself?”
“Lili, you forgot, Young Master Lu broke ties with her at the wedding yesterday.”
“I did forget. Someone calculated everything to the last detail, but in the end… tsk tsk, she’s as pathetic as a dog.”
“You even framed your best friend, Gong Xue’er, are you even human?”
“Alright, stop talking.” It was Yangyang who spoke.
The crowd was just defending Xia Yangyang, but since Xia Yangyang had spoken, they all fall silent.
Wen Xiaochu came over and seeing this situation, she chased the others away.
In front of the main building, only Xia Yangyang and Gong Xue’er were left.
Gong Xue’er’s eyes were filled with hatred when she looked at Xia Yangyang.
But Xia Yangyang remained calm.
Xia Yangyang asked, “What are your plans next? My father knows the principal of Yun University, he might be able to transfer you there.”
Gong Xue’er snapped, “Xia Yangyang, there’s no need for your fake sympathy here.”
Gong Xue’er sneered, “Xia Yangyang, you came here to mock me, right? You must be extremely satisfied. I admit defeat, but I lost to Gu Qichen, not to you, Xia Yangyang. Just because I can’t fight him now doesn’t mean I won’t be able to in the future. I, Gong Xue’er, swear that one day, I will make you all pay back a thousand times over. Xia Yangyang, I will not let this go!”
Gong Xue’er was almost gritting her teeth, her expression twisted in rage.
Xia Yangyang felt there was nothing left to say.
Gong Xue’er had left the campus, left her life, and Xia Yangyang thought all was over.
But the Xia Yangyang at that time did not know, fate is a pair of cyclical hands, stirring right and wrong, endlessly….
