Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wen Xin and Diwu Qixian returned to their dorm first. Zhou Xiaoxiao had left to pick up a package after receiving a call that there was a delivery.
Wen Xin and Diwu Qixian saw two people standing outside at the dorm entrance. Diwu Qixian immediately recognized one of them as Su Shan.
She instinctively tugged on Wen Xin’s arm, trying to alert her to be cautious.
While Diwu Qixian was eyeing Su Shan, Wen Xin had already noticed her too. Initially, Wen Xin wanted to ignore her and walk past, but Su Shan saw them and quickly approached.
At that moment, Su Shan quickly dragged the woman beside her and ran to Wen Xin without any hesitation, kneeling in front of her.
“Wen Xin, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have insulted you. Please, I beg you, forgive me and spare the Su family.”
Diwu Qixian hadn’t expected this to happen. She pulled the calm Wen Xin back a step, shielding her.
“Hey, Su Shan, isn’t this a bit too much? Weren’t you the one causing trouble? And weren’t you the one spreading rumors online?”
“You’re too much. First, you framed Wen Xin for stealing your stuff, and now you want her to forgive you. Are you like a pig, always turning the tables?”
Diwu Qixian protected Wen Xin like a mother hen guarding her chicks. Wen Xin didn’t even have a chance to speak as Diwu Qixian kept talking, not giving Su Shan’s mother a chance to say anything either.
“It’s not like that. Anyway, Wen Xin, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me and the Su family, okay? I promise never to appear on the Beijing University campus again. I guarantee you won’t have to see me anymore. Just this once, please?”
Su Shan was agitated, attracting a crowd. She wanted to force Wen Xin to agree with the pressure of the public. This was her plan after thinking it through all afternoon.
Wen Xin looked at Su Shan’s pitiful face, a mocking smile appearing on her cool face.
“What? You can’t use framing anymore, so you’re resorting to moral blackmail? Let me tell you, Wen Xin doesn’t fall for that. Don’t think you can use public opinion to pressure me. If I were afraid, I wouldn’t be here at this school.”
“You want me to forgive you? It’s not impossible…”
Hearing that Wen Xin might forgive her, Su Shan’s eyes brightened. She had been sure Wen Xin would eventually compromise, being a public figure who wouldn’t want the stain of driving someone to desperation.
“Go tell the police who made you do this. Tell my lawyer why you did it and what benefits you got. Post a statement on Weibo, hire some fake accounts to curse that person for a few days.”
“Then, I’ll forgive you!”
Wen Xin’s sharp eyes bore into Su Shan, making her sit back in fear.
How could she possibly expose Jiang Linyan? She had already offended the Mu family; if she also offended the Jiang family, the Su family would be doomed regardless of Wen Xin’s forgiveness.
Su Shan regretted deeply. She had never imagined she would walk down such a hopeless path, dragging the Su family into despair.
“Wen Xin… I…”
“If you can’t do it, don’t disgust me here. Maybe you should find the person who made you do this. Maybe she can help you?”
As she spoke, Wen Xin’s sharp gaze swept toward Jiang Linyan, who was watching from the crowd with a wicked smile on her lips.
“Maybe in her eyes, you’re just a pawn. She probably didn’t think you’d be so useless.”
Although Wen Xin’s words seemed directed at Su Shan, Jiang Linyan knew they were a warning to her.
It seemed Wen Xin knew everything but just couldn’t do anything about it.
Su Shan sat on the ground in despair, looking up at her mother beside her. When she slandered Wen Xin, she had been arrogant, but now she was utterly pathetic. The surrounding whispers could destroy the last shred of her dignity.
“Who would have thought this was all a conspiracy? It’s terrifying! Is this a power struggle between two big shots, with the pawn being destroyed?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Didn’t you understand? Not only was the pawn destroyed, but their whole family was ruined!”
“That’s what happens when you underestimate your strength. People noticed something was wrong right from the start. It’s impossible for a conflict between two girls to escalate so quickly online. This was clearly using public opinion to force Beijing University to act.”
“Now that you mention it, it’s true. Fortunately, our principal is an upright person. He must have put in a lot of effort to protect our Freshman King, possibly offending powerful people… Principal Lu is my idol now!”
“He’s the embodiment of justice! Principal Lu is mighty and righteous!”
Back home, Principal Lu rubbed his itchy nose, completely unaware that amidst the drama, he had become an embodiment of justice.
Wen Xin pulled Diwu Qixian’s shoulder and moved her aside. She walked up to Su Shan. She squatted down, leaning on her knee with one arm, her gaze cold as she looked at Su Shan.
“The initiative is in your hands, as is the fate of the Su family. Do as I asked, and I guarantee the Su family will be spared. But if you refuse, I assure you the consequences will be unimaginable.”
The moment Wen Xin saw Su Shan, she had already decided how to deal with Jiang Linyan. Someone had to be destroyed in this matter, either the Su family or Jiang Linyan. Wen Xin wasn’t one to be easily bullied.
Su Shan was shocked by Wen Xin’s words. Looking up, her face full of disbelief, she wondered what worse outcome could there be than now. Would Wen Xin really destroy the Su family?
She couldn’t believe Wen Xin could do it, but she knew Mu Chengxi could. What was there that the Mu family couldn’t do?
Seeing Su Shan’s shocked expression, Wen Xin smiled slightly, “The choice is yours. Save the Su family or protect the person who instigated you. Think about it: what could be worse than the current situation?”
“That would be offending me!”
