When everyone’s eyes and the media’s cameras focused on Wu Yuxin, her body trembled nervously, and her face turned pale.

“May I know who you are?”

“Are you here to testify? What evidence do you have?”

“What is your relationship with Teacher Gao?”

…

The group of reporters below all surrounded her, and their cameras all focused on her. This wasn’t 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.

“Don’t be afraid.” Song Fengwan held her hand. She was trembling violently, and cold sweat soaked her palm.

“Song Fengwan…” Wu Yuxin had never seen such a scene before. She was so nervous that her eyes were red.

“It’s alright. She won’t dare to do anything to you. You just have to say what you said to me in front of everyone.” 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 Xue’s 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!

“Song Fengwan, this is your classmate. What do you want to prove by finding such a person?”

Song Fengwan said, “She has been helping you in school and is most familiar with you.”

“So what? Wu Yuxin, are you sure you want to treat me like this? Did I not treat you well usually?” Gao Xue seemed to have grasped the soft bone in Wu Yuxin’s personality. She spoke with force, and her tone was full of warning.

She stood there calmly.

She looked fearless.

Who would care about the words of two children?

“Yuxin.” Song Fengwan held her hand tightly. “Don’t be afraid. I said I would protect you. She can’t do anything to you. Besides, this is a public place. She won’t dare to do anything to you.”

Wu Yuxin nodded seriously. She took two deep breaths, but she was still nervous when facing the cameras…

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. “I’ve always been helping Teacher Gao in school. One time, I saw Song Fengwan’s design on her desk, and there was also a half-finished design…

“At the time, Teacher Gao’s design had not been completed, but Song Fengwan’s was already a finished draft. Moreover, I compared them.

“I study design too. I could tell the difference between the two drawings. It was Teacher Gao who plagiarized.”

The people below the stage looked at each other, weighing the authenticity of these words.

“Nonsense!” The corners of Gao Xue’s lips curled up slightly as she laughed lightly. “Does everyone know who this girl is? She’s the first student among all the new students to be punished.”

Hearing this, Wu Yuxin trembled.

“She’s vain. She took someone else’s 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.

“Does everyone think she can be trusted?

“You’re so young, yet you’re willing to do anything for a false reputation.

“What do you want to do now by coming here? Are you trying to use my popularity to become famous?”

Wu Yuxin was still a child after all. Facing Gao Xue’s high-pressure and domineering attitude, her eyes were already red from fright, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“…” Wu Yuxin had no way of explaining because all of this was the truth.

“Moreover, the person she took the spot of was Song Fengwan. I really don’t know how these two got together. They’re singing the same tune, and they want to accuse me without any evidence? This is ridiculous. It’s a pity…” Gao Xue sneered.

“The person you looked for has a record.

“She’s full of nonsense. She pleased me in order to get me to plead with the school’s leaders to revoke her punishment. But I didn’t agree, so she slandered me instead. Such a student…” Gao Xue was helpless. “I’m really heartbroken.”

“How did children become like this nowadays?!

“At school, I took care of you in every way possible. I don’t know why you’re treating me, your teacher, like this.”

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. “This person isn’t ordinary.

“She’s quick to respond and is very good at countering.

“Do you think Miss Song can deal with her?”

Fu Chen smiled without saying anything. Instead, he asked him for a cup of tea. “I’m a little thirsty.”

Jing Hanchuan sneered. He’s sure calm.

“According to what I know, the Qiao family has already arrived in the capital. Why haven’t they appeared yet?”

A Jing family member leaned over. “The Qiao family just had breakfast and are coming over now.”

Jing Hanchuan was stunned. What’s wrong with these people? They do things in a lukewarm manner. Even though such a big thing has happened, they’re 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 didn’t expect Gao Xue to talk about her punishment.

“No, I didn’t…” Wu Yuxin was so anxious that she was about to cry.

“Didn’t you get punished? Because I didn’t agree to help you revoke your punishment, you bit me instead? I’m really disappointed in you.” Gao Xue looked disappointed.

“I’ve always been teaching you diligently, hoping that you can turn over a new leaf. I didn’t expect you to treat me like this.

“If anyone doesn’t believe me, you can go to the school and ask. All the teachers and students in Beijing University know about this.”

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.

“School probation. This is serious.”

“Since she’s vain and full of lies, her words aren’t credible at all.”

“Is Old Master Qiao’s granddaughter stupid? What kind of bull** witness is this? If you don’t have any evidence, get lost. Don’t waste everyone’s time.”

“What’s wrong with children nowadays?”

…

The people below the stage were getting restless.

“No, it’s not like that. I have evidence. I have a recording…” Wu Yuxin took out her phone from her pocket shakily.

Because she was nervous and her hands were sweaty, she couldn’t unlock her phone’s fingerprint lock.

Gao Xue’s 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.

“Teacher Gao, what do you want to do?”

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 matter…

… seemed to be turning around.

After finally unlocking her phone, Wu Yuxin played a recording with trembling hands.

First, there was a rather noisy sound…

“Why did you look for Song Fengwan for just now?” It was Gao Xue’s voice.

“N-nothing…” It was Wu Yuxin’s.

“Yuxin, when you enter society, you’ll know that everything isn’t as simple as you think. There are too many things in this world that are true and false…

“Isn’t your face fake? Even people are fake, much less people’s hearts…

“Besides, you and Song Fengwan are enemies. I’m also helping you deal with her. No one will believe you even if you tell them. If you help me…

“I’ll help you solve your punishment. Haven’t you always wanted to step on Song Fengwan? I’ll help you…”

Wu Yuxin’s voice was trembling. “But… but I want to win against her openly. I don’t want others to say that I have an undeserved reputation.”

“Heh, with just you? You don’t even know what you’re capable of. How are you going to win against her? In this industry, hard work isn’t enough. Sometimes, talent and opportunity are equally important. After winning the award, I finally got a chance to hold a solo exhibition. It wasn’t easy for me to get everything I have today.

“As long as I succeed, I’ll naturally support you and give you benefits. But you have to be obedient and listen to me…”

…

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.

“Wu Yuxin, tell me what benefits she gave you to slander me!

“You actually forged a recording. How did you learn to be so bad?!”

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.

“Ah—!” Wu Yuxin was so frightened from her aggressiveness that she almost fell.

“Tell me. Why did you make this fake recording?” 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 Fengwan’s indifferent and cold gaze was staring straight at Gao Xue.

“Teacher Gao, what are you doing?” Her languid eyes were wrapped in a chill that made people shiver all over as she attacked head-on. “Didn’t you want evidence? I gave it to you!”

“It’s fake! It’s all fake!”

“Anyway, there’s more than one recording. What’s the use of making her phone break?” Song Fengwan sneered. “The way you’re anxious and angry now is really ugly.”

“Wu Yuxin, stand out and explain clearly. It’s all fake, Wu Yuxin!”

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.

“Teacher Gao, there are so many cameras. What are you doing? Are you threatening a student?”

With Song Fengwan blocking her, Gao Xue couldn’t touch Wu Yuxin. Wu Yuxin was so frightened that her tears kept falling.

“Didn’t you design all of this? You just want to ruin my reputation, right?!”

Song Fengwan smiled. “Targeting you?

“If it wasn’t because you were shameless and greedy and tried to step on my grandfather to climb up the social ladder…

“Why would I care about you? You’re giving yourself too much face!

“I’ve gotten someone to authenticate this recording. There’s proof that it’s not fake. You have the patents, and I also have the proof documents.” 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 couldn’t seem to see anything else clearly, and her vision was blurry.

“This recording is real. You copied Song Fengwan’s work. I just want to beat her fair and square. I’m not qualified, but you’re even less worthy!” Wu Yuxin might have been suppressing it for a long time, so she shouted at her.

“You…” 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 Xue’s face with a swoosh. The force was extremely strong and merciless. Gao Xue’s vision went blind for a moment. After a few pages fell, a hand enlarged in her eyes…

Slap!

It was crisp and loud.

“You 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?!

“And you even want to hit me now? Behave yourself!”

There was an uproar…

She finally exploded? Is it alright to hit her?
