Gu Jinxi impatiently pulled her hand away. “I think you’re the sinister and cunning one here. You’re the one who’s always badmouthing people behind their backs.
Gu Xingyu was taken aback. “I’m telling the truth. Wake up! Don’t be fooled by her fake innocent appearance!”
“Gu Xingyu, something must be wrong with your eyes. If you’re feeling unwell, go see a doctor.” Gu Jinxi sneered at her and turned to go upstairs.
“Gu Jinxi, who exactly is your biological sister? You’re a traitor who betrayed the organization!” Gu Xingyu stomped her feet in anger.
“I don’t have a foolish sister like you,” Gu Jinxi retorted mercilessly.
When Lu Miao arrived at school, Shen Muhan had already spread the news that Lu Miao had donated two million yuan to the welfare institute and her class scholarship fund.
Everyone in Year Three Class 1 was over the moon with excitement. They pledged not to let down their boss’s painstaking efforts and worked hard to learn.
Someone even posted about it on the school forum, and soon the news spread throughout the entire school. The students from other classes were envious, and the forum was abuzz with discussions.
All of them pounded their chests and stomped their feet in anguish. Who is a ‘god-like classmate’ from other classes referring to? Lu Miao, of course!
She was rich, handsome, and talented. Her martial strength was extremely high. Why wasn’t such a big-shot student in their class?
There were even many students who came to ask if they could apply to join Year Three Class 1.
As the class monitor, Su MO rejected them coldly.
This is an apt demonstration of the phrase “Yesterday, you looked down on us, but today, you can’t reach us.”
At noon, the school announced the Triwizard Tournament next month on the bulletin board.
Below it was a list of the students who would be representing the school in the competition.
Lu Siyu’s name was shockingly on the list of Year One students.
The school was abuzz with talk about the Triwizard Tournament.
After all, as the school’s current famous super genius, she should definitely be involved in the battle to win glory for the school.
Moreover, the person who won, in the end, could obtain the qualification to enter Tsinghua University!
It was such a good opportunity. Anyone with the ability would want to participate.
For a while, the school was full of discussion, and the forum was even more of a battleground.
“Is Lu Miao being arrogant? Don’t they know about the grudges between our school and the other two schools? Before, the school made such a big fuss to promote her, and when it was time to shine, she took the stage, but now that the school needs her, she’s hiding.”
“She’s ungrateful and treacherous.”
“I don’t believe she’s being arrogant. She probably has her own reasons for not participating. This morning, she donated 10 million yuan to the welfare institute and 2 million yuan to their class funds for scholarships. With such good character, I don’t think she’s arrogant.”
“Hmph, she’s not using her own money to donate, she’s just showing off with her family’s money and trying to establish her image. It’s disgusting.”
“How do you know it’s not her own money? Besides, she’s already done good deeds without leaving her name behind, and she bravely caught a thief. Just for that, I believe in her.”
“She’s just a poor country bumpkin. How can she have that much money? Maybe she staged the whole thing with the thief just to become famous. And as for her genius-level formulas, I think they’re all made up. After all, the Gu family has money and influence, so it’s easy to fake things with a little bit of money.”
“Exactly, it’s all a fake. Maybe she’s afraid of being caught cheating during the competition and having her poor results exposed.”
Shen Muhan looked at the discussion on the school forum and cursed, ” Bullsh * t. Boss earned that money with her own abilities. It has nothing to do with the Gu family. ”
The Gu family was so stingy that they didn’t even give their boss a chauffeur. They let her ride a shared bicycle to and from school every day.
How could they possibly give her money?
If it weren’t for the boss’s order not to spread rumors about their racing, he would have gone out and beaten up those people who badmouthed Lu Miao.
“I think they’re just jealous of Boss’s excellence.” Another student beside him echoed angrily.
Su MO raised her hand and touched her chin. ” Don’t you think the person trolling sounds a little familiar? ”
Shen Muhan laughed coldly and logged into the forum. His fingers quickly jumped on the phone screen.
“Lu Siyu, don’t hide behind your fake account!”
The forum, which was in chaos just a moment ago, instantly fell silent for a second. Many people quickly calmed down, knowing that these two had been at odds for a while.
One was a real heiress, and the other was a fake heiress. Lu Miao had even given Lu Siyu a resounding slap in the face during the freshmen’ press conference.
If she was the one trolling, it wouldn’t be strange at all.
However, to be caught red-handed while stirring things up was so embarrassing.
Shen Muhan didn’t have any sportsmanship, not only did he expose her, he even directly mentioned her ID, making it impossible for her to pretend to be dead.
“I’m not. Stop spreading rumors and slandering Siyu here.”
Shen Muhan didn’t care if she admitted to it or not, and he started cursing at her relentlessly.
“Lu Siyu, let me tell you, your jealousy won’t do any good. My boss is a true genius, a heavenly being descended to earth. With an IQof 208, outstanding talents and abilities, and unparalleled natural gifts, she’s a once-in-a-millennium genius. Even if ten of you combined your efforts, you wouldn’t be able to catch up.”
After cursing her out, he continued to spout the flattery of Lu Miao and insults about Lu Siyu.
“I’ve already said it, I’m not Lu Siyu! I’m not!” The person on the other end was completely losing it.
“Don’t pretend you’re not. I forgot, someone as despicable and scheming as you, with a heart as black as a snake and scorpion, can only sow discord and make trouble.” Shen Muhan didn’t hold back.
Some people spoke up for Lu Siyu, but Shen Muhan was quick-witted and sharp-tongued, not letting anyone off the hook.
He swore to protect his boss’s reputation.
He had single-handedly changed the direction of the entire school forum.
From discussing why Lu Miao wasn’t participating in the competition to all the students trying to track down the anonymous account, Shen Muhan had completely dominated the forum.
The previous alternate account was so scared that it immediately logged out.
Shen Muhan returned with a complete victory. He turned to Lu Miao and patted his chest. ” Boss, don’t worry. With me around, that green tea Lu Siyu can forget about spreading rumors and slandering you. ”
“But Boss, are you sure you don’t want to consider the Triwizard Tournament?” Although his boss had said before that she did not need a recommendation.
However, he always felt that it was a pity to waste such a good opportunity.
Lu Miao raised her eyebrows. ” Your boss, I, have no ambition in Tsinghua University.”
“Then Boss, what is your ambition?”The student beside him asked curiously.
“The vast universe. ”
This passionate answer instantly sparked a roar of excitement from all the students in the class, who shouted that they would work hard to conquer the vast universe with Lu Miao.
The academic atmosphere in their senior year class had never been so high.
Meanwhile, in the experimental class, Lu Siyu had red eyes from crying as she explained to her classmates that she had nothing to do with the fake account. “I don’t know why they said that. That alternate account really isn’t me.”
Gu Xingyu hurriedly comforted her by the side. “Siyu, I believe you.”
Then, she turned to the surrounding students and said solemnly, ” I can testify that Siyu has always been kind-hearted. Not only did she not say anything bad about Lu Miao, but she has always treated her as her own sister and gave in to her in everything.
That fake account was definitely not hers.
Lu Miao was the one who was jealous of Siyu and even deliberately instructed people to slander her to ruin her reputation. She didn’t dare to participate in the Triwizard Tournament because she felt guilty about her actions.” “Xingyu, don’t say that. Miaomiao came from the countryside and didn’t receive a good education.
Right now, she just wants to reclaim what belongs to her. It’s my fault for letting her down.
I won’t hold it against her for wanting what’s rightfully hers,” Lu Siyu said, feeling aggrieved.
She appeared to defend Lu Miao, but in reality, she hinted to everyone that Lu Miao might have lied about her education and genius status. Lu Miao was intentionally slandering her to take her belongings. Even if the students did not fully believe her, her words would still plant a seed of doubt in their hearts.
As long as they had this seed of doubt, she could make everyone lose trust in Lu Miao sooner or later!
Gu Xingyu comforted her for a while. When she thought about what happened this morning, she could not help but get angrier. ” I’m starting to suspect that Lu Miao, that country bumpkin, might have learned some witchcraft in the countryside.”
“It’s fine if Second Brother and Mom were bewitched by her, but so many people in school are blind to believe her.
Gu Jinxi just came back yesterday. He clearly promised me yesterday that he would work with me to deal with her.
This was the first time he met Lu Miao this morning. He didn’t even say a word to her before that bastard betrayed him.
Not only did he take the initiative to call her second sister-in-law to express his goodwill, but he also helped her scold me.”
Lu Siyu was very considerate as she said, ” Jinxi might just be temporarily bewitched by her appearance. When I get back, I’ll call him and ask him to meet up tomorrow. We’ll have a good chat then. ”
Gu Xingyu nodded. ” Siyu, you’re really too good! There must be something wrong with the eyes of those who believed in Lu Miao.”
Lu Siyu smiled slightly and didn’t say anything else.
After school in the afternoon, Lu Miao had just walked out of the school gate when the phone in her pocket rang.
She took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She swiped her finger across the answer button.
“Excuse me, is this Lu Miao?”
“It’s me.” Lu Miao replied.
“This is the Qing Jiang District Police Station…’
Lu Miao raised her eyebrows slightly. After listening to the content of the call, she hung up the phone and scanned a shared bike.
Ten minutes later, the bicycle stopped at the entrance of the Qingjiang District Police Station.
After locking the car and entering the door, a police officer in the lobby saw Lu
Miao.. After asking her, he was stunned and asked in disbelief, ” You’re Lu
Miao?”
