Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 589 - 256: Birthday Gift

It was only half a day, and the online public opinion had shifted dramatically once more.

Su Huai’s trending search plummeted to the bottom of the list, with his natural popularity possibly being suppressed by who knows how many times. Then, only sparse mentions of Gu Jiuyue could be seen, as the majority of the main battleground had been overtaken by a wealthy and beautiful group of people.

The classmates who knew the truth were all dumbfounded.

In the classroom, Er Gao asked Su Huai with a shocked look, "Bro, wasn’t that car a gift from Goddess Yue? Why is the internet heaping praise on that crappy group?"

Huang Mengting was fuming as well, shouting, "Does Weibo have a problem or what? Why the hell did it delete my comment?"

With such a big fuss online, the whole class was paying attention and joined in the chorus of complaints.

"Yeah! I can’t even post my comments now."

"Damn it, I was right in the middle of a fight with an idiot, and now look, the officials step in to mess it up!"

"They must have bribed someone! That crappy wealthy beauty definitely paid money!"

Seeing the crowd become inflamed with indignation, Su Huai had to step forward and explain.

"Guys, stop arguing with them online. Gu Gu’s parents don’t want her to have this kind of exposure, so they pulled some strings to manage the situation. Just be aware of that and move on. There’s no need to argue with outsiders who don’t know the real story."

Alright, that wasn’t an explanation. That was passing the buck.

If Gu Tongshu knew he had taken the blame for Puppy once again, his expression would surely be one of contentment.

Gu Jiuyue was smiling as she took the fall for her dad, "Yeah, my dad wants to protect me from harassment, so he spent a little money. Remember to keep it a secret, everyone."

Such filial piety.

Seizing the moment, Su Huai quickly struck while the iron was hot, "That group is just a target set up in the limelight, let’s stop trash-talking her and just ignore it."

"Oh! So that’s how it is..."

Er Gao appeared to suddenly grasp the situation, looking rather smug.

The classmates stopped sulking, quickly turning their attention back to the matter at hand.

Chen Lan exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Yueyue, the supercar you gave to Dog Class Leader was really from you? A token of affection?"

Gu Jiuyue nodded gently but still clarified, "It’s just a birthday gift, don’t spread rumors."

The reaction from the classmates was huge, causing a commotion in the classroom.

Lu Yitian covered his face and started howling, "Damn it, I really hate him... I haven’t even had an ice pop from Goddess Yue!"

Zhang Renhui remarked sourly, "As if we had any better luck... Why is there such a big gap between people? What are we missing?"

Fat Sister fired back without mercy, "There’s a lot missing. Just taking your face as an example, one is a gentle and refined young master from a noble family, and the other is a sneaky lecher. I’m an avenger; I’d chop you down too."

Usually, everyone would have laughed and collectively mocked Zhang Renhui.

But today, nobody could muster a laugh.

Lemon trees bearing lemons above, everyone sitting in a row beneath, regardless of gender, all had a share of bitterness.

Ding Yi looked at Gu Jiuyue with a complex expression, "Yueyue, you really spoil him too much..."

Wen You threw herself toward Gu Gu, crouched in front of her desk, and began wailing, "Miss, I’m your long-lost personal maid! Please take me home; I can’t wait to continue washing your clothes and doing your chores!"

Qianqian was still in shock, murmuring, "The most expensive dowry in our village is just 200,000... Your one birthday gift could be enough to marry 500 wives..."

A Tang found a glaring issue, with deep regret, "Dowries are supposed to be from the man to the woman; Dog Class Leader is living off a woman!"

Potato, with a craving look about to cry, "I know ’living off a woman’ is an insult, but I wish someone would insult me like that... I don’t need much; if Tingting would just buy me a coat, I’d be willing to die for her!"

Huang Mengting frowned and retorted, "What the hell are you dreaming of? Why would I? Do you want a bag of dog food instead?"

"Yes!"

Potato suddenly got excited, with his tongue sticking out, "For real? When?"

Su Huai, overwhelmed by the noise, thought he should have skipped the last period...

But then again, he couldn’t avoid it; such a big deal would inevitably bring this kind of commotion sooner or later.

"Alright, enough is enough."

Su Huai stood up to maintain the order. Well, and incidentally to show off again.

"Don’t compare yourself with us. Jiuyue is rich and I’m handsome. A small gift exchanged between a golden boy and a jade maiden is none of your business, you bunch of monsters!"

"Damn!"

"Get him!"

"I really can’t stand it anymore!"

Boys and girls exploded with anger, as if they wanted to bury Su Huai on the spot.

However, when the boys geared up and rushed over, Gou Huai casually lifted his right hand; the car key was spinning on his index finger. The foolish boys charging in the lead all fell to their knees.

"Godfather!"

"Bro!"

"Handsome Su!"

Ask them if they hate Su Huai, and the answer would surely be yes.

Then ask if they wanted to touch the ’poison’ car, take a picture, the answer would definitely be yes as well.

When they couldn’t do both, caressing the car became more important; revenge could wait.

With Su Huai no longer a target, the boys’ attention turned to the car, while the girls clustered around Gu Jiuyue, chattering away.

In essence, the whole issue was simple; it was just that the gift was excessively extravagant. freewebnøvel.com

Because Gu Jiuyue herself didn’t make a fuss about the price and didn’t brag about it, everyone gradually stopped discussing the money.

"This is terrible, all the gifts prepared today will pale in comparison, and I had worked so hard on mine..."

Huang Mengting rarely looked worried, but Gu Jiuyue consoled her, "It’s okay, it’s the thought that counts. Su Su is not someone who cares about the value."

Ding Yi had a resigned look, "Just let it go, it doesn’t make a difference what we give today. We’re just here to play our roles."

"Our role?" Chen Lan laughed and shook his head, "Do we even qualify?"
