When everyoneâs eyes and the mediaâs cameras focused on Wu Yuxin, her body trembled nervously, and her face turned pale.
âMay I know who you are?â
âAre you here to testify? What evidence do you have?â
âWhat is your relationship with Teacher Gao?â
â¦
The group of reporters below all surrounded her, and their cameras all focused on her. This wasnât school, and many of the people sitting below the stage were big shots who could only be seen on TV. Wu Yuxin was naturally nervous.
Her forehead was already sweating.
âDonât be afraid.â Song Fengwan held her hand. She was trembling violently, and cold sweat soaked her palm.
âSong Fengwanâ¦â Wu Yuxin had never seen such a scene before. She was so nervous that her eyes were red.
âItâs alright. She wonât dare to do anything to you. You just have to say what you said to me in front of everyone.â Song Fengwan held her hand tightly.
In fact, a few days after the plagiarism incident had fermented on the Beijing University campus, Wu Yuxin had taken the initiative to contact her.
They had been roommates before, so she always had her phone number.
When Song Fengwan received her call, she was very surprised. Recalling how she had called out her after class and looked like she wanted to say something, Song Fengwan finally put the whole matter together.
Gao Xueâs eyes were vicious. Wu Yuxin had always been fawning and cowering in front of her, and she had never dared to talk back to her. Moreover, she had always been at odds with Song Fengwan. Gao Xue had never expected that this girl would really dare to bite her!
âSong Fengwan, this is your classmate. What do you want to prove by finding such a person?â
Song Fengwan said, âShe has been helping you in school and is most familiar with you.â
âSo what? Wu Yuxin, are you sure you want to treat me like this? Did I not treat you well usually?â Gao Xue seemed to have grasped the soft bone in Wu Yuxinâs personality. She spoke with force, and her tone was full of warning.
She stood there calmly.
She looked fearless.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Who would care about the words of two children?
âYuxin.â Song Fengwan held her hand tightly. âDonât be afraid. I said I would protect you. She canât do anything to you. Besides, this is a public place. She wonât dare to do anything to you.â
Wu Yuxin nodded seriously. She took two deep breaths, but she was still nervous when facing the camerasâ¦
At this moment, the Beijing University students watching the broadcast were the most stunned. No one knew what kind of godly turn of events this was, but all the teachers and students in Beijing University knew that they were mortal enemies.
The person who wanted to see Song Fengwan embarrass herself the most was Wu Yuxin. The two of them were actually on the same side?
Wu Yuxin took a deep breath. âIâve always been helping Teacher Gao in school. One time, I saw Song Fengwanâs design on her desk, and there was also a half-finished designâ¦
âAt the time, Teacher Gaoâs design had not been completed, but Song Fengwanâs was already a finished draft. Moreover, I compared them.
âI study design too. I could tell the difference between the two drawings. It was Teacher Gao who plagiarized.â
The people below the stage looked at each other, weighing the authenticity of these words.
âNonsense!â The corners of Gao Xueâs lips curled up slightly as she laughed lightly. âDoes everyone know who this girl is? Sheâs the first student among all the new students to be punished.â
Hearing this, Wu Yuxin trembled.
âSheâs vain. She took someone elseâs spot and went on stage to receive an award. In the end, she was discovered and criticized by the entire school. Such a person is unscrupulous in order to become famous.
âDoes everyone think she can be trusted?
âYouâre so young, yet youâre willing to do anything for a false reputation.
âWhat do you want to do now by coming here? Are you trying to use my popularity to become famous?â
Wu Yuxin was still a child after all. Facing Gao Xueâs high-pressure and domineering attitude, her eyes were already red from fright, and tears welled up in her eyes.
ââ¦â Wu Yuxin had no way of explaining because all of this was the truth.
âMoreover, the person she took the spot of was Song Fengwan. I really donât know how these two got together. Theyâre singing the same tune, and they want to accuse me without any evidence? This is ridiculous. Itâs a pityâ¦â Gao Xue sneered.
âThe person you looked for has a record.
âSheâs full of nonsense. She pleased me in order to get me to plead with the schoolâs leaders to revoke her punishment. But I didnât agree, so she slandered me instead. Such a studentâ¦â Gao Xue was helpless. âIâm really heartbroken.â
âHow did children become like this nowadays?!
âAt school, I took care of you in every way possible. I donât know why youâre treating me, your teacher, like this.â
When she spoke, there was a woeful look on her face, as though she was extremely pained.
Sitting in the audience, Fu Chen raised his eyebrows as he looked at the woman with an arrogant smile on the stage.
She might not have realized how arrogant and ugly her actions of slandering her student were at this moment.
Jing Hanchuan tilted his head. âThis person isnât ordinary.
âSheâs quick to respond and is very good at countering.
âDo you think Miss Song can deal with her?â
Fu Chen smiled without saying anything. Instead, he asked him for a cup of tea. âIâm a little thirsty.â
Jing Hanchuan sneered.?Heâs sure calm.
âAccording to what I know, the Qiao family has already arrived in the capital. Why havenât they appeared yet?â
A Jing family member leaned over. âThe Qiao family just had breakfast and are coming over now.â
Jing Hanchuan was stunned.?Whatâs wrong with these people? They do things in a lukewarm manner. Even though such a big thing has happened, theyâre not in a hurry at all and still have the mood to eat breakfast.
This woman is already so arrogant. What trump cards do they have?
***
Wu Yuxin didnât expect Gao Xue to talk about her punishment.
âNo, I didnâtâ¦â Wu Yuxin was so anxious that she was about to cry.
âDidnât you get punished? Because I didnât agree to help you revoke your punishment, you bit me instead? Iâm really disappointed in you.â Gao Xue looked disappointed.
âIâve always been teaching you diligently, hoping that you can turn over a new leaf. I didnât expect you to treat me like this.
âIf anyone doesnât believe me, you can go to the school and ask. All the teachers and students in Beijing University know about this.â
There was a flurry of discussiosn below the stage. Everyone felt that Song Fengwan had gone crazy. She had found such a person to say a few words, hoping to turn things around.
âSchool probation. This is serious.â
âSince sheâs vain and full of lies, her words arenât credible at all.â
âIs Old Master Qiaoâs granddaughter stupid? What kind of bullshit witness is this? If you donât have any evidence, get lost. Donât waste everyoneâs time.â
âWhatâs wrong with children nowadays?â
â¦
The people below the stage were getting restless.
âNo, itâs not like that. I have evidence. I have a recordingâ¦â Wu Yuxin took out her phone from her pocket shakily.
Because she was nervous and her hands were sweaty, she couldnât unlock her phoneâs fingerprint lock.
Gao Xueâs heart was in her throat.?This damn girl made a recording?
She subconsciously took a step forward.
When Wu Yuxin saw her approaching, her hands trembled in fright. Her phone fell to the floor, and she hurriedly bent down to pick it up tremblingly.
Song Fengwan also moved forward and stood between the two of them.
âTeacher Gao, what do you want to do?â
Gao Xue glowered at Wu Yuxin viciously while gritting her teeth. Her face captured by the cameras was even more hideous and scary, making the people watching the broadcast feel a little surprised.
She had been in the upper hand just now, but she seemed very abnormal now.
Moreover, from beginning to end, she had always looked gentle and harmless. But now, her expression was clearly different.
When this female student said that there was a recording, her entire person changed, and she was flustered and panicked. Although her micro-expressions only lasted for a moment, the cameras captured them.
This matterâ¦
⦠seemed to be turning around.
After finally unlocking her phone, Wu Yuxin played a recording with trembling hands.
First, there was a rather noisy soundâ¦
âWhy did you look for Song Fengwan for just now?â It was Gao Xueâs voice.
âN-nothingâ¦â It was Wu Yuxinâs.
âYuxin, when you enter society, youâll know that everything isnât as simple as you think. There are too many things in this world that are true and falseâ¦
âIsnât your face fake? Even people are fake, much less peopleâs heartsâ¦
âBesides, you and Song Fengwan are enemies. Iâm also helping you deal with her. No one will believe you even if you tell them. If you help meâ¦
âIâll help you solve your punishment. Havenât you always wanted to step on Song Fengwan? Iâll help youâ¦â
Wu Yuxinâs voice was trembling. âBut⦠but I want to win against her openly. I donât want others to say that I have an undeserved reputation.â
âHeh, with just you? You donât even know what youâre capable of. How are you going to win against her? In this industry, hard work isnât enough. Sometimes, talent and opportunity are equally important. After winning the award, I finally got a chance to hold a solo exhibition. It wasnât easy for me to get everything I have today.
âAs long as I succeed, Iâll naturally support you and give you benefits. But you have to be obedient and listen to meâ¦â
â¦
The recording was very long. Before the rest could finish playing, Gao Xue, who had been calm and self-controlled, suddenly rushed over and hit the phone away.
âWu Yuxin, tell me what benefits she gave you to slander me!
âYou actually forged a recording. How did you learn to be so bad?!â
Gao Xue was utterly flustered.
Her body suddenly swayed, and her face turned pale from fright.
There were already discussions going on below. She felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse, and her entire body felt cold. An unprecedented sense of despair enveloped her, and her mind went blank.
âAhâ!â Wu Yuxin was so frightened from her aggressiveness that she almost fell.
âTell me. Why did you make this fake recording?â Gao Xue pressed on.
Song Fengwan narrowed her eyes as she watched Gao Xue. Because the phone had been knocked off the stage after hitting the floor twice, there was no sound at this moment. Song Fengwanâs indifferent and cold gaze was staring straight at Gao Xue.
âTeacher Gao, what are you doing?â Her languid eyes were wrapped in a chill that made people shiver all over as she attacked head-on. âDidnât you want evidence? I gave it to you!â
âItâs fake! Itâs all fake!â
âAnyway, thereâs more than one recording. Whatâs the use of making her phone break?â Song Fengwan sneered. âThe way youâre anxious and angry now is really ugly.â
âWu Yuxin, stand out and explain clearly. Itâs all fake, Wu Yuxin!â
When she reached out to grab Wu Yuxin, who was retreating, Song Fengwan suddenly appeared and blocked in front of her. Gao Xue could only withdraw her hand resentfully.
âTeacher Gao, there are so many cameras. What are you doing? Are you threatening a student?â
With Song Fengwan blocking her, Gao Xue couldnât touch Wu Yuxin. Wu Yuxin was so frightened that her tears kept falling.
âDidnât you design all of this? You just want to ruin my reputation, right?!â
Song Fengwan smiled. âTargeting you?
âIf it wasnât because you were shameless and greedy and tried to step on my grandfather to climb up the social ladderâ¦
âWhy would I care about you? Youâre giving yourself too much face!
âIâve gotten someone to authenticate this recording. Thereâs proof that itâs not fake. You have the patents, and I also have the proof documents.â Song Fengwan took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket, slowly unfolded it, and placed it in front of her.
At this moment, Gao Xue was panicking. Her eyes were full of black words and some red stamps. She couldnât seem to see anything else clearly, and her vision was blurry.
âThis recording is real. You copied Song Fengwanâs work. I just want to beat her fair and square. Iâm not qualified, but youâre even less worthy!â Wu Yuxin might have been suppressing it for a long time, so she shouted at her.
âYouâ¦â Gao Xue was furious and reached out to grab her.
Everyone below the stage was dumbfounded.?Are they going to fight?
Just as Jing Hanchuan was about to signal his subordinates to move, Fu Chen stopped him.
Immediately afterward, Song Fengwan gritted her teeth and threw the appraisal documents directly at Gao Xueâs face with a swoosh. The force was extremely strong and merciless. Gao Xueâs vision went blind for a moment. After a few pages fell, a hand enlarged in her eyesâ¦
Slap!
It was crisp and loud.
âYou plagiarized in such a grandiose manner and even wanted to step on me and climb up the entire Qiao family. Who gave you the courage?!
âAnd you even want to hit me now? Behave yourself!â
There was an uproarâ¦
She finally exploded? Is it alright to hit her?
