Si Jing dropped out of school, Mu Qingxue fainted, and Dongfang Yu came to warn her that the rape incident was over, but the follow-up seemed to have just begun.

After Mu Qingxue was discharged from the hospital, she sent a long message to her friends.

First, she mentioned that although Si Jing was a carefree person, she valued interpersonal relationships.

Then, she said that Si Jing would always be her best friend, but it was a pity that she was an ordinary person and didn’t have the ability to help Si Jing.

Finally, she added that she hoped that in the future, they would become stronger and would no longer be bullied by others.

There wasn’t a single word about Ye Qingran in the entire article, but it seemed to have said everything.

It seemed to be true yet also not true.

It made people’s imaginations run wild.

The long message was moved onto the school’s website.

It immediately gave rise to conspiracy theories.

Some people analyzed that Si Jing was the one who was wronged. The matter had already been settled by the Ye family with money. They even said that Si Jing’s father was threatened. If Si Jing didn’t admit it, the Ye family would target her father.

The popular comments made everyone’s heart ache for Mu Qingxue.

And it insinuated Ye Qingran’s involvement.

The group of people who liked Mu Qingxue and named her the goddess of the school even took this opportunity to set up a fan club.

Zi Xia was furious when she saw this. She couldn’t help but mutter, “This Mu Qingxue is too scheming. There was hard proof evidence, yet she could distort the facts to such an extent. She even posted such a message.”

Ye Qingran wasn’t surprised, and she comforted her, “She knows people very well. She knows that many people like conspiracy theories. By satisfying their curiosity, they can achieve their own goals. However, under such circumstances, she will get karma for using such methods. You don’t have to care about it.”

This scene didn’t exist in the original plot.

However, Ye Qingran had already guessed it when Si Jing dropped out of school.

Mu Qingxue had always thought that Si Jing and Tang Xinyuan would be able to handle the matter.

After all, the original character was really stupid.

In the original plot, Mu Qingxue had indeed succeeded. The original character was wronged, kicked out of the house, expelled from school, and even insulted by everyone. However, she didn’t dare to expose her real gender and she couldn’t prove her innocence in front of the public. In the end, because of hatred she went further and further astray, which resulted in a tragic end.

Meanwhile, Si Jing and Tang Xinyuan were fine. They were the second main couple.

The female lead was like a white lotus that had emerged from the mud but wasn’t stained at all.

Now, Tang Xinyuan’s plan hadn’t succeeded.

Mu Qingxue should be very shocked.

After she calmed down, she would naturally retaliate.

This long article was a red herring.

It seemed like she was saying that Si Jing was her good friend and that she was defending Si Jing. In reality, she was really trying to prove her innocence, and at the same time, she was trying to implicate the Ye family.

In the original story, Mu Qingxue was very loyal.

However, in order to achieve her goal, she would do anything.

If she could even exploit her good friend, how could she be called loyal?

–

At this moment, Mu Qingxue, hoping that he could help Si Jing, was sending a message to Dongfang Yu.

[ Dongfang Yu: Qingxue, don’t worry, I’ve already gotten someone to contact the school. ]

[ Mu Qingxue: Thank you, I’m really useless. I can’t help at all, and I’ve even harmed Jing Jing. ]

[ Dongfang Yu: Don’t be too kind and take all the blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. It was all Ye Qingran’s fault. ]

Mu Qingxue: ..

Yes, it was all Ye Qingran’s fault.

This Ye Qingran had been deceiving everyone by pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

When she saw Ye Qingran rationally defend himself with logical reason in a calm and composed manner that day, she realized that she had underestimated her enemy.

But she also harmed Tang Xinyuan and Si Jing. One transferred, and one dropped out.

When Ye Qingran directly accused her of being behind the scenes, she was caught off guard. In her moment of panic, she chose to sacrifice the knights in order to save the queen, and she disassociated herself.

However, after the incident, she realized that she was too anxious.

Instead, she appeared to be doing it deliberately.

She, Si Jing, and Tang Xinyuan wanted to scheme against Ye Qingran, but it was only because the Ye family and Ye Qingran, committing evil deeds everywhere, were too arrogant and vicious.

If it weren’t for the Ye family, she wouldn’t have lost her father and lived such a miserable life with her mother.

1

If it weren’t for Ye Qingran, her best friend, Si Jing, wouldn’t have been forced to drop out of school.

1

Moreover, he had deliberately tried to sow discord between her and Si Jing.

She would never let Ye Qingran have his way.

That was why she had posted a long article on her Wechat moments.

Other than hoping that Jing Jing wouldn’t distant herself from her, she also wanted to prove that she was clear-headed and to imply that all of this wasn’t the truth.

The truth had already been obscured by power.

This way, she could still make those who had once scolded Ye Qingran get rid of their guilt towards Ye Qingran.

She didn’t want to be schemed against and deceived by Ye Qingran anymore.

Previously, not only did she underestimate her enemy, but she had also acted too hastily.

This Ye Qingran was really too sinister.

Scheming.

Shrewd.

She had to be even more careful from now on!

Dongfang Yu asked Mu Qingxue if she wanted to attend Liu Renwei’s birthday party.

Mu Qingxue agreed without any hesitation.

She lived for revenge.

Only by entering that social circle and getting to know more people could she take revenge for her father.

She must make the Ye Corporation, a corporation that had risen to power by sucking on fresh blood, disappear from this world.

She would also make the Ye family pay with blood!

–

Liu Renwei’s birthday party was held in the Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace wasn’t a nightclub or bar, but the largest and most upscale private clubhouse in Jiang City.

The Dragon Palace was very big and had all kinds of different areas.

Liu Renwei booked the largest banquet hall in the Dragon Palace.

This banquet hall not only had a lounge, but also had an open-style chess room, game room, KTV, bar, and so on. It had everything, just like a party hall.

When Ye Qingran arrived at the Dragon Palace, the banquet had already begun.

In the hall, there were ladies with perfumed clothes and gorgeous hair, and dazzling crystal lights. Everywhere was decorated with fresh pink and white roses that had been flown in from France.

It was extremely luxurious, elegant, and romantic.

When Liu Renwei saw Ye Qingran, he immediately greeted her with a smile. “Ye Qingran, you’re here.”

“Happy birthday.”

Ye Qingran shook hands and bumped fists with Liu Renwei. Then, she gave him the birthday present that she bought. “You know, I’ve been kicked out of my home recently, so I don’t have the money to buy too good a present. Don’t mind it.”

“It’s good enough that you came. What gift?” Liu Renwei quickly opened the gift and found that it was a pair of sports shoes that he had mentioned before. He said in surprise, “I like this very much. Thank you, Ye Qingran.”

Liu Renwei and Ye Qingran chatted for a while. He let Ye Qingran do whatever she wanted and went to greet the other guests.

Ye Qingran found a place to sit down.

Not long after, someone approached her and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Ye Qingran. “Ye Qingran, why are you sitting here? Let’s go play a few rounds together.”

Ye Qingran flatly rejected, “You guys can go play.”

The person who came to invite her was called Du Yan. He hated the original character very much.

Because of his family background, he maintained a harmonious relationship with the original character on the surface.

But in private, he had often caused trouble for the original character.

Seeing that Ye Qingran didn’t move, the smile on Du Yan’s lips showed malicious provocation. “Why, are you afraid?”
