Chapter 72

Becoming friends with Yuan Luoyi suddenly became the thing Su Xun most wanted to do.

If her mother found out, she would definitely get beaten, but she was eager to try it, maybe it was just the rebellious phase.

Soon Su Xun found an opportunity, she intercepted Yuan Luoyi in the hallway, proudly raising her head.

"I see you often keep to yourself, why don't you become my friend? I can accompany you to the bathroom, the cafeteria, and even team up with you for physical education activities."

"No need." Yuan Luoyi refused Su Xun's invitation without hesitation.

"Snap!"

The self-esteem that Su Xun had carefully protected was shattered to pieces.

She summoned all her courage, not hesitating to betray the Su family, but her invitation seemed nothing but inexplicable to Yuan Luoyi.

So, Su Xun rallied the students of Class A to isolate Yuan Luoyi.

Everything went so smoothly, it was like a perfect fit.

Most of the students in Class A were from prestigious families, who outwardly treated the Yuan family politely, but deep down harbored resentment, wanting to replace them.

Even without Su Xun's call, they would have cold-shouldered Yuan Luoyi.

After all, this kind of isolation, not too big, not too small, the Yuan family couldn't really force the children to be friends with Yuan Luoyi, right?

The homeroom teacher of Class A, Ms. Su, also turned a blind eye to this. She gave up a high-paying translator's position to become a teacher at Star Galaxy Middle School, just to get to know the powerful and suppress the Yuan family's child.

After the Su family suffered a devastating blow, all the surviving family members united, determined to take revenge on the Yuan family at all costs.

At family gatherings, people would often pull Su Xun aside to recount the past sufferings.

"We wandered, did odd jobs, endured bullying, struggled in poverty and sickness... never a bright future."

"But your mother was a remarkable child, with an angelic sweet voice and ever-changing singing style, she went from a bar singer to a superstar, and the Su family rose again!"

"And you, my child, you have perfectly inherited your mother's strengths, you will take the family to new heights!"

At times like these, Su Xun would fall silent.

The adults were actually venting their emotions, as a younger generation, she couldn't speak up, because her thoughts didn't matter, no one cared, and no one would listen.

They only cared whether Su Xun had beaten Yuan Luoyi today.

For this school variety show, they were especially invested, the wealthy ones contributed money to help Su Xun buy fans, and the influential ones helped Su Xun with publicity.

Her mother even mobilized her connections within her circle to get Su Xun the opening ceremony's center stage.

But Su Xun disappointed them, Yuan Luoyi was far ahead, and the family members' curses were incessant.

She really wanted to end it all, so when He Ya slandered her for cheating, she directly admitted it, even willing to drop out.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out, her mother used her connections to transfer her to Class C, she had to continue competing with Yuan Luoyi.

One day, Yuan Luoyi came to the door of Class C, she was looking for the class monitor Ye Min.

Seeing her, Su Xun felt annoyed, wanting her to leave quickly, so she told her Ye Min's whereabouts.

Yuan Luoyi said, "You don't act all high and mighty in Class C, huh..."

Su Xun shouted, "Just leave! I really don't want to see you!"

Yuan Luoyi said, "I used to act all high and mighty too, you know... in the opposite direction from you, but after giving up, it felt much more relaxed. People care too much about others' opinions, and lose themselves."

Hmph!

Did she think she could just stop acting however she pleased?

Su Xun's mind was blank, she was panting heavily after running, she looked at the also panting Yuan Luoyi and asked, "Why did you win again?"

Yuan Luoyi stared at her reddened hand: "I think it's because someone told me that whatever I want to grab, I can definitely grab it, so I ran with all my might."

Su Xun fell silent, then tilted her head and smiled.

Did she have to go all out in every competition?

She really couldn't compete.

Below, Su's mother's anger was evident, she had her arms crossed over her chest, gritting her teeth in fury.

But it doesn't matter, this time the second-place prize is 150,000, Su Xun is financially free, she doesn't need her anymore!

Su Xun wanted to leave, but several reporters surrounded her.

"Su Xun, your performance this time was really impressive! How do you plan to develop in the entertainment industry in the future?"

Facing the camera, Su Xun unabashedly rolled her eyes.

"Don't mention the entertainment industry to me, I hate those things the most!"

"Get lost!"

"I'm going to be an astronomer in the future!"

Su Xun pushed past the dumbfounded reporters and happily went to claim her prize money.

Meanwhile, as the champion, Yuan Luoyi heard the voice of the system.

[Ding!]

[System prompt: Influence has reached 270]

[Rewind function has been activated!]

【Clue feature activated!】

Yuan Luoyi's anxious heart finally settled down, as she activated two functions at once.

Rewinding time would make her faint, so she'll save that for later.

But she can try out the clue feature now.

Yuan Luoyi said: "Activate clue feature!"

【Ding!】

【Successfully activated clues for the explosion case!】

A bunch of handwritten numbers suddenly appeared before Yuan Luoyi.

82.1.31L1.2TNT

82.6.30L1.2TNT

82.7.15L1.2TNT

82.12.1L1.2TNT

83.2.27L2.2TNT

83.8.19L2.2TNT

Yuan Luoyi thought it over for a while, and she knew how to catch the real culprit behind the explosion case now.
