Unexpectedly, Su Wanwan said, “Since that’s the case, you should perform the number that you’ve registered for. I won’t do it.”

“Su Wanwan, what do you mean?” Lin Qiao was angry, “Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?”

“Who’s making who’s life difficult?” Su Wanwan sneered, “You signed me up for a solo act without my permission, did you?”

“I had no choice, you wouldn’t pick up your phone.”

“That’s no excuse for you to decide on your own.”

“It’s too late to change now, the show has already been scheduled. Like it or not, you have to perform.”

Seeing her like this, Su Wanwan straightforwardly retorted, “I will not perform!”

Lin Qiao pounded the table, “What’s wrong with you? Can’t you just cooperate with our class activities?”

Zhao Qianqian quickly tried to mediate, “Alright, alright, let’s not fight. We’re all from the same class…”

Lin Qiao said, “I don’t want to fight either, but as you saw, she’s not answering the phone. Now she claims that she doesn’t want to participate! Does she think she’s some princess? The whole school already submitted the program list this morning. To accommodate her, I submitted our application at the very last minute, and even got scolded by the teacher for not being able to handle even this simple task properly.”

Having said that, she lowered her head and started to choke up.

“Lin Qiao, did you graduate from the Acting Academy?” Su Wanwan stood there feeling thunderstruck, “You’re so dramatic, why didn’t you sign up to perform?”

Her mood swung faster than flipping through a book.

Who would’ve thought…

“Su Wanwan, why can’t you just help Lin Qiao with her duties?” A female student suddenly spoke up.

“Exactly, she’s trying to help our class.”

“As a new student, isn’t it good for you to have a chance to perform?”

“Don’t be a bully…”

Su Wanwan swiftly turned around and locked her gaze onto the female student who just spoke, “Which fucking eye of yours saw me bullying her?”

The female student blushed, “How… how could you swear at someone like that?”

Repeating their unsubstantiated claim of bullying, Su Wanwan swept her eyes over them, conveying an unexplainable coldness. “Are you afraid you’ve taken some advantage from her? Are you all speaking up for her?”

The faces of the female students became guilty in an instant.

They had indeed been treated to snacks by Lin Qiao before, and privately promised to help persuade Su Wanwan to perform the solo act.

After all, Lin Qiao was the artistic director, compared to Su Wanwan, who had just transferred to their school. It was natural for them to feel obligated to help after receiving treats.

But Su Wanwan had just voiced their intentions so bluntly, as if they were greedily taking advantage of the situation.

At this moment, Lin Qiao spoke again. “Don’t say that. Su Wanwan isn’t bullying me. It’s my fault for not being able to handle this. I originally intended to have both group and solo performances exhibited by our class in the hope of getting a good ranking. But then… ” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As she finished her self-deprecating speech, all the girls clustered around and began to console her.

“Qiao Qiao, don’t blame yourself.”

“Exactly, you’re doing great!”

“You’re just looking out for our class.”

“We see your efforts clearly.”

“Don’t cry…”

Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, feeling as if she’d stepped in dog shit!

Dealing with this wench was a constant source of drama and irritation.

“Su Wanwan.” Zhao Qianqian also came to mediate, “Since the program has been submitted, why don’t you give it a try? If you need any help, just tell me and I’ll do my best to assist.”

Su Wanwan pouted her lips.

It wasn’t the performance she was annoyed with, but being manipulated.

“Can you sing? Dance? Or maybe play an instrument?” Zhao Qianqian exhaustively tried to come up with ideas for her. “The actual performance is only a few minutes, it will be over quickly if not… You could write a speech, poetry recital?”

Seeing Su Wanwan still didn’t speak, she lowered her voice to persuade, “Once the list is submitted, it’s difficult to make changes. Consider it as a contribution to the class. If you do well, you can earn credits.”

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and finally nodded, “Fine, I’ll think about what to perform.”

Zhao Qianqian: “Great!”

Lin Qiao also quietly let out a sigh of relief.

This bitch! She’s nothing but sharp teeth and a slick tongue!

But because of the previous incident in the classroom when she had been scared by Mo Weiyi’s bodyguard into apologizing on the spot, she had already lost face in front of her classmates once.

Almost everyone present had witnessed the scene from that day. No matter how upset she was, she had to maintain her image or she could easily be accused of deliberately taking revenge.

It seemed that playing the victim was more effective. She had been too impulsive in the past.

Lin Qiao was feeling smug…

“Is the class monitor absent?”

Upon hearing Su Wanwan’s words, Lin Qiao’s expression changed.

Why is this bitch looking for Jiang Shuhao?

“The class monitor is the host, he’s not participating in our show.” Zhao Qianqian asked, “Do you need something from him?”

“Yes,” Su Wanwan said, “I want to sign up for the esports club with him.”

“What a coincidence, I’m also thinking about joining the esports club. Shall we go together later?” Zhao Qianqian suggested.

Su Wanwan glanced at Lin Qiao.

Zhao Qianqian seemed to be the life committee member, she was always following Lin Qiao around. But from what Su Wanwan could see, she seemed to be a nice person, unlike the other petty girls who were blindly following Lin Qiao.

If she could form an alliance with Zhao Qianqian…

Deciding immediately, Su Wanwan agreed, “Sure, let’s go together later.”
