Chapter 873

True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (36)

The school environment was innocent, with strict regulations at the school level, and the students were not particularly mischievous. This incident could indeed be considered a “shocking revelation.” All the students who saw it became interested. Even the ones who usually stayed in bed in the morning were fully awake. They had heard a little about the Chu sisters before, but the actual situation turned out to be so sensational. Chu Xuan could really be considered the school belle!

She was admired by her classmates because she had good grades, was beautiful, and had a particularly likable personality. Although it didn’t mean much, it sounded nice. She could always receive admiring or envious looks.

However, influential figures have always caught the public’s attention. Hence, everyone in the school knew who she was. Consequently, they were naturally willing to spare some time to see what happened to her.

Chu Xuan couldn’t sleep all night and felt mentally exhausted. She looked better after putting on minimal makeup. She was focused on how to smooth things over and expose Chu Xiang’s true face. She resented that Chu Xiang had been pretending all along. Her mind was constantly occupied, leaving no room to browse the campus forum or have any interest in it.

It wasn’t until she arrived at school, just before the early morning self-study session, that she noticed her classmates openly or subtly scrutinizing her on the playground, in the corridors, and in the classroom. Particularly focused on her face, this made her particularly irritable. She lowered her head and hurriedly entered the classroom.

To her surprise, as soon as she sat down, her desk mate leaned over with her phone and asked in a hushed voice, “Chu Xuan, is everything written in this post true? You don’t like Chu Xiang, right? We have such a good relationship, tell me the truth, I won’t tell anyone.”

Chu Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly felt like she had been blacklisted, just as she trended on social media in her past life as an entertainer. She snatched the phone and when she saw that photo, everything went black before her eyes. She felt dizzy for a full three seconds before returning to normal.

That toad was her nightmare! And someone had actually taken a photo and spread it around. What was the point of her previous efforts to hide and cover up? Her ugliest, most disgusting appearance was seen by the entire school!

She suddenly noticed Wang Shasha’s expression. At that moment, she clearly sensed Wang Shasha’s anxiety and anger. For a brief moment, she was even touched. Although she had worked so hard to scheme in this life, she had a good best friend, good parents, and would have a good husband in the future. Everything was worth it.

But what was the reality? Wang Shasha had been forcing herself to suppress her disgust in a place where she couldn’t see, making it obvious that she too was repulsed by her appearance. In an instant, Chu Xuan grew to hate her. If she found her repulsive, then she shouldn’t pretend to care so much. She didn’t need any kind of concern from her at all. Now that everyone saw Wang Shasha’s disgust towards her, it only made her feel more embarrassed!

Her desk mate saw that she was gripping the phone too tightly and quickly snatched it back. She said, “I need to look up some words. You can browse it yourself.”

Chu Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. She knew that many people were watching her, so she managed her expression quite well. She even showed a hint of indignation and confusion, as if she was being wrongly accused. For a second-tier celebrity who had dabbled in the entertainment industry, it was quite easy to pull off.

She quickly took out her own phone to look at the post, and the more she read, the more shocked she felt. Who could it be? The exposure was so detailed! She had taken care of everything herself and hadn’t told anyone, so why did the leak seem to come from someone who knew everything?

Her first thought went to Chu Xiang, but she controlled herself from looking at her. She couldn’t have a public falling out or confrontation with Chu Xiang. Her identity was sensitive, and any inappropriate action would cause many people to stand on Chu Xiang’s side. That was not what she wanted.

Anyway, as long as there was no concrete evidence, any shocking revelation could be reversed.

Tears started to fall uncontrollably from Chu Xuan’s eyes, surprising her desk mate who exclaimed, “Hey? Don’t cry, Chu Xuan, what’s wrong with you?”

Chu Xuan buried her face in her arms, her voice muffled and filled with vulnerability, “I didn’t do it! I didn’t do any of it!”

The desk mate saw her trembling body as she cried and felt somewhat awkward. Seeing that their classmates were all looking over, she held Chu Xuan and said, “Let me take you outside for a while, or we can take a walk on the playground.”

Chu Xuan used her arm to wipe off the makeup on her face. When she looked up, her pale and fragile appearance, after a sleepless night and a long cry the day before, was exposed to her classmates. She looked really pitiful, giving the impression that she was the victim.

Chu Xuan finally looked towards Chu Xiang, her eyes showing a mixture of fear and distress. She pushed away her desk mate and hesitantly walked up to Chu Xiang. She choked out, “Sister, I’m sorry, I misunderstood you. I was so scared yesterday, and I… I know no matter how I explain it, it’s my fault. But what the post said is not true. I have never done those things, and I would never harm you. Please believe me.”

There was an anxious expression on her face, her eyes clear and innocent. Many students began to quietly discuss, thinking that maybe someone else was responsible for this incident? Chu Xuan’s appearance didn’t seem to match at all.

Chu Xiang looked up at Chu Xuan and nodded repeatedly, “I believe you. I, as well as our parents and teachers, will say the same. It wasn’t you, you are the kindest person.”

Though they were affirmative statements, why did they sound so inappropriate when spoken? Chu Xuan opened her mouth to speak, but Chu Xiang continued, “Little sister, please believe me too. I didn’t know which classmates suspected me of bullying you, but what they said is not true. I have never done those things, and I would never harm you. Please make it clear to our parents and teachers. I like it here. After class, I’ll apply for on-campus accommodation. I want to study well here, graduate, and then go to a university in another city. I won’t come back ever again.”
