CH 6

Jiang Nian is also a little famous in A university. It isn’t that everybody knows her, but at least almost everyone has heard her name. First of all, she is outstanding in appearance, and very easy to spot in the crowd. Secondly, she has good grades, and the annual scholarship winner has always been her. It’s hard to not be noticed.

So when the rumour that Jiang Nian was beingfostered[1] started, it was not long before most of the students in school knew about it. More and more people started claiming that they had seen Jiang Nian coming out of expensive cars.

This gradually led to the rumour transforming into almost a matter of fact.

“These people are so poisonous. After seeing just a few vague photos, they believe that you are being taken care of. There is no concrete evidence to let them dare to talk about this so openly. Why can’t it be a boyfriend? If he has a luxury car, the girl must be covered. This kind of thinking is also very extreme.”

The more Lin Xiaoyue read on her phone, the angrier she got. She felt like folding her sleeves and rushing over to beat up these outrageous people.  

Jiang Nian felt that this was nothing. She held Lin Xiaoyue down and said, “Don’t go, these person have already given me a label. Even if I give them an explanation, they will just say that I am trying to cover up the truth. Besides, I don’t care enough about them to let it affect me.”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Jiang Nian and said: “Are you not angry? These people are talking and spreading complete nonsense. Don’t you want to show off your fighting power? If you want to, you should just tell Shen Ming. He will definitely scare them away.”  

Jiang Nian: …He is a president, not a puppy. He can’t just scare people away if you tell him to.

Jiang Nian said: “That isn’t needed. Anyways, what they said is not true.”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at her with admiration: “Your mentality is so strong. If it were me, I am sure that I would have blown up.”  

Jiang Nian smiled. She chuckled on the inside. This is probably the ups and downs that must be experienced as a female lead. She has played so many novels and scripts. She already has these so-called routines all figured out.

What she has to do now is to suffer from grievances and wait for that man to heroically come and save her.

Jiang Nian did not even bother to read the comments, but she did apply to the administrator to delete the post. However, she encountered a setback because the post was still there at noon. Moreover, by this time, the messages consisted of more than a dozen pages. It had already become a hot topic in her school.

While going to class, many people on the way secretly looked at her ambiguously. Some even pointed at her while whispering to the next person.

She looked carefree, like it didn’t affect her at all. Lin Xiaoyue gave a thumbs up and asked her: “Is it because you have been with Shen Ming for a long time that you learned his overbearing president temperament?! You look so calm and self-confident.”   

“I’m afraid that I have to let you down. These are the excellent qualities that I have always had.” (T/N: God, I love how narcissistic she is. xD )

“…. oh.”

Jiang Nian really thinks that these rumours are all trivial. There is no need to get all riled up about it. She is too lazy to even glance at the people telling lies about her. Of course, there are also some people who helped her speak up, indicating that there are still good people out there. What’s more, now is not the time to let the truth come out. She needs to get bullied more and more, so that she can finally find shelter in the arms of the male lead in the end. Won’t all these eventually lead to the man feeling even more distress for her? Maybe, the female aura will finally have a breakthrough!

However, the post is very hot, and things were getting too serious. There are many staff members who heard of it so, it didn’t take long for Jiang Nian to receive a call from the counsellor, telling her to come over to his office.

When Jiang got the call, she immediately thought of the post. Lin Xiaoyue was more worried than her. She told Jiang Nian that she should not be nervous and must calmly explain the situation to the teacher. Jiang Nian had to appease Lin Xiaoyue saying that she was going to be fine. She then went to the office to face the counsellor. When she entered the room, he threw a few photos on top of the table: “Tell me. What these photos are about?”

Jiang Nian looked at them and solemnly said: “I don’t know how this happened. It was my boyfriend who sent me back to the dormitory. I didn’t know that I would be photographed by someone. They even said that I was taken care of! Is it my fault that my boyfriend is too rich? In addition, I have already requested for the deletion of the posts and as a result they have not deleted them yet. Can I sue them?”

The counsellor frowned but, someone came to report the incident to him. Apparently the person personally saw Jiang Nian sneaking into the luxury car several times. If it is just a boyfriend, then it should be okay. Not to mention the fact that Jiang Nian’s boyfriend cannot  be ordinary. Jiang Nian’s behaviour and manners has always been good. She doesn’t look like a girl that worships gold. Now that he is finally calm, he seriously asked, “Was it really your boyfriend who sent you back?”

Jiang Nian nodded. After thinking about it, she said: “When my boyfriend comes to pick me up next time, should I tell him to use a broken tiny car? I must make it look like I am the one fostering him! Then no one would even bother gossiping about it. Instead, they will pity me as the idiot with no brain and eyes. They may even say that we are true love!”

“…” cough!

Counsellor: “Who is your boyfriend?”

Jiang Nian: “It is a rich third generation young master!”

Counsellor: “………”

She asked carefully: “… Teacher, is there any problem? “

The counsellor replied with a blank face: “…No.” (T/N: Lol He must be thinking about how his student is totally a shameless gold digger.)

Jiang Nian patted her chest and looked thankful: “That’s good, that’s good.”

The counsellor rubbed his forehead: “…”

When Jiang Nian walked out of the office, she felt anxious. What if she ends up solving the problem while waiting for the male lead to rescue her? Isn’t that bad? She has yet to be a proper damsel in distress! However, she still had some doubts. The photos in the hands of the counsellor were sent to him by someone. Who would hate her enough to want to hurt her? She is usually low-key, and hasn’t offended anyone. So, why is it that someone is actively acting against her.

Jiang Nian really can’t think of who it could be.

At the end, although the post on the school bar was deleted and the counsellor told people that it was just a misunderstanding and prohibited the students from talking about it, the gossip about Jiang Nian being taken care of in private was not gone. It just continued spreading.

For this reason, Jiang Nian told Shen Ming to drive a low-key car.

Shen Ming was shocked: “Excuse me?”

Jiang Nian helplessly said: “Probably because I am too good, people can’t get enough of me!”

Shen Ming: “…… ”

It was only then that Jiang Nian told him what happened. Shen Ming’s face darkened completely by the time she was done.
