Qiao Yu angrily condemned the people who spread rumors online, but it was to no avail. The news had spread far and wide, becoming a hot topic in the streets and alleys of Beijing. Even people who don't usually pay attention to gossip channels about wealthy families had heard about it.

Although Qiao Yu used to want to be a celebrity, the kind that everyone knows, that doesn't mean she wants to be famous for being a lecherous woman!

She's not even an adult yet, but she'll be able to date soon!

After this uproar, which parent would be willing to hand over their omega daughter to them so easily in the future?

Qiao Yu was very sad and couldn't help but put on a sad face. "System, I think I've been dumped."

The system asked numbly, "Oh? When have you ever been in a relationship, host?"

"Don't you dare curse again!" Qiao Yu glared at it angrily. The system quickly changed its tune and soothed her, "Host, think about it this way—although you've weathered many storms, you've also successfully made a name for yourself. So, in essence, you've successfully replaced Jiang Mei as the new female lead of this world."

"You, the current host, are someone with the protagonist's halo!"

"So this little rumor can't do anything to you!"

Qiao Yu thought about it seriously for a moment and felt that the system was absolutely right. "That makes sense. What's the point of a person if they're not lustful? How do you know?"

The system was stunned for a full ten seconds before it understood what Qiao Yu was saying. One of the system's chips almost broke on the spot. That's not what it meant! It didn't want to help the evildoer and encourage the host's shameless and lewd behavior!

After being comforted by the system, Qiao Yu felt much better. She straightened her back and got out of the car, and as expected, she received a barrage of stares from her classmates. Qiao Yu smiled slightly, "Look, they're secretly jealous of me."

System: "..." I'm tired of talking.jpg

Qiao Yu ignored all the stares and walked calmly into the classroom. The moment she entered, the large classroom fell silent. Someone subconsciously turned towards Jiang Mei, opened their mouth as if to say something, but was pulled back by their deskmate and wisely shut their mouth.

Qiao Yu then looked over at Jiang Mei. Jiang Mei hadn't done her homework this time, but there was an unyielding chill in her eyes.

Oh right, Qiao Yu puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, realizing she had once again inadvertently overlooked Jiang Mei's feelings.

Under everyone's gaze, Qiao Yu quickly ran to Jiang Mei in a flattering manner, saying very sincerely and firmly, "Jiang Mei, don't worry, as your best friend, I will definitely not taste the sweetness of love alone before you find someone! I will definitely share your joys and sorrows, advance and retreat together, and be happy together with you..."

Jiang Mei's aura grew increasingly oppressive, and Qiao Yu unconsciously shut her mouth, staring at her for a long time. The surrounding classmates deliberately lowered their voices, and the deathly silence suddenly became chilling.

Jiang Mei lowered her eyelashes, her face expressionless. She sat motionless, without even changing her posture.

Qiao Yu scratched her head and couldn't help but look at Meng E. Meng E turned her head away, clearly indicating that she wanted to distance herself from the situation.

Jiang Mei was somewhat dazed. The scent she loved emanating from the other woman lingered in her nostrils, inescapable and pervasive, even when she tried to hold her breath. Qiao Yu was right in front of her, the two of them very close. Even with just a fleeting glance, she could clearly see the delicate eyelashes on the other woman's fair face flutter gently, like a butterfly gently fluttering its wings and slowly landing on the lake of her heart.

She remained silent for a long time, and the other person also shut their mouth, their innocent almond-shaped eyes filled with confusion and fear.

Jiang Mei was both annoyed and confused. Qiao Yu had clearly rejected her, and logically, she should be more rational and leave some dignity for both of them. But every time she heard that Qiao Yu was entangled with other women, she couldn't control the anger in her heart.

She longed to vent all her grievances and resentment, and she wished she could keep Qiao Yu firmly by her side, possessing her alone.

But she couldn't do that.

Qiao Yu is a living, breathing person, not a toy. Only toys have owners, but people don't.

She liked her, she didn't want to hurt her, and she didn't want to scare her away because of her uncontrollable personal feelings.

A bitter feeling welled up in Jiang Mei's heart. Qiao Yu had met people who were more outstanding than the last. She couldn't even compete with Song Wanzi, so how could she possibly compete with Lu Shangyi for someone? The Lu family was influential in the capital. Their businesses spanned all walks of life, so numerous and so vast that they could almost influence the entire country's economy. How could she possibly compare?

A deep sense of powerlessness filled Jiang Mei's heart. She opened the book, trying to use it to cover up her disheveled state and the pitiful inferiority in her heart.

Qiao Yu shifted uncomfortably, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles. Her gaze lingered on Jiang Mei's slightly reddened eyes, and Qiao Yu cautiously reached out to press down the textbook that Jiang Mei was using to cover her face. "I'm sorry, I just made you angry again."

Jiang Mei remained unmoved, stubbornly picking up the book again to cover her face.

The surrounding voices almost completely fell silent, and this quiet made Qiao Yu even more terrified. She turned her head and saw that all her classmates, including Meng E, were leisurely watching her try to appease them, legs crossed. Narrowing her eyes, Qiao Yu gave a harmless smile. "Is it pretty?"

Everyone knows that Qiao Yu is very protective of her own, especially Jiang Mei, whom she treats like a precious treasure. Anyone can bully Qiao Yu, but bullying Jiang Mei is absolutely unacceptable.

Anyone who dares to touch Jiang Mei will be immediately made unable to continue their studies at school by Qiao Yu. They won't even be allowed to watch Jiang Mei's misfortune.

No one dared to test Qiao Yu's limits any further, and one by one they turned back, still feeling unsatisfied. Qiao Yu was very unhappy. She racked her brains, mobilizing every cell in her mind, and sincerely said, "Don't believe those people on the internet who talk nonsense. Don't you know what kind of person I am? How could I possibly do such a thing?"

Jiang Mei pressed her light-colored lips into a thin line. It was precisely because she knew clearly what kind of person Qiao Yu was that she felt even more uneasy.

She's so wonderful that everyone who meets her likes her—Song Wanzi and Lu Shangyi alike. It's only a matter of time before they fall in love with her.

Qiao Yu almost raised her finger to swear, "I assure you, things are definitely not like what's said online." Qiao Yu paused for a moment, "Someone must be jealous of my beauty, so they spread rumors online, trying to smear my reputation and make it hard for me to find a partner."

Qiao Yu squeezed out two pitiful tears, "Jiang Mei, I considered you my best friend, but I never expected..."

She choked up, "Such a trivial matter can easily shatter our two-year relationship."

Qiao Yu's eyes reddened slightly, and the bright light in them gradually dimmed. Jiang Mei subconsciously frowned; she clearly hadn't meant it that way.

Qiao Yu was downcast and silently lowered her hand from Jiang Mei's desk. "You can continue reading. I won't disturb you anymore. I know I'm noisy and annoying, thank you for putting up with me for so long..."

“That’s not what I meant.” Jiang Mei finally spoke up, quickly grabbing Qiao Yu’s slender white wrist, her expression involuntarily becoming serious. “I’ve never found you annoying.”

"Really?" Qiao Yu finally regained her composure, her eyes brightening slightly as she gazed at her. "Then you're not allowed to hate me from now on."

"If I make you angry in the future, you are not allowed to hold a grudge against me, nor are you allowed to give me the silent treatment, and you are not allowed to ignore me or not talk to me."

Qiao Yu's amber eyes shone brightly upon her, as if filled with stars. Jiang Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded unconsciously. In that instant, the radiant smile that bloomed on Qiao Yu's beautiful face almost dazzled her.

After regaining her senses, Jiang Mei couldn't help but smile bitterly. She always couldn't help but want to get closer to her, wanting to greedily possess that little bit of precious warmth.

Even though she knew perfectly well in her heart that it was simply impossible.

Jiang Mei finally calmed down, and Qiao Yu quickly said, "I'll send someone to find the person who spread the rumors and then send him to the police station."

They never even considered how much harm such a scandal could cause to a minor like themselves!

These people should never be forgiven easily, otherwise, would there be no law in the world?

Qiao Yu acted immediately, texting Qiao Jinghuai on her phone: "Dad, someone is slandering your precious daughter online. Are you going to do anything about it? If you're not going to do anything about it, then I'll go find Mom."

Sitting in his office, Qiao Jinghuai couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Don't bother your mother."

If you annoy your wife, won't you be the one who suffers in the end?

Qiao Jinghuai wanted to throw his phone away on the spot, but he managed to hold back. "I'll deal with your matter when I'm done with this."

The message was sent out and immediately received a reply: "Then Dad, hurry up, my friends are getting angry."

Qiao Jinghuai couldn't help but pinch his brow, wondering if this was a conspiracy by his rivals to bring down the Qiao family. Qiao Jinghuai felt a pang of heartache; his precious daughter was truly pitiful, being used as a pawn for no reason.

Qiao Jinghuai immediately dispatched the company's public relations team to handle the situation. Qiao Yu also quickly bowed her head to reply to Lu Shangyi and Song Wanzi's concerns, "It's okay, my dad will handle it. Thank you for your concern, sister."

There was no response from Lu Shangyi, so she must have fallen asleep. Song Wanzi, however, managed to take a moment from her busy schedule to reply, "Do you need any help?"

Song Wanzi is going to help her? Qiao Yu couldn't help but smile. Doesn't this mean their relationship is good?

As they got to know each other better, wouldn't that make it easier for him to help Jiang Mei find a partner?

Although she couldn't ask for it, Qiao Yu still pretended to be very embarrassed and said, "How could I possibly trouble Sister Song?"

Song Wanzi chuckled, "No trouble at all."

Qiao Yu sent a cute and obedient emoji. This time, Song Wanzi didn't reply immediately. Two minutes later, a message finally popped up in the chat box: "Done."

Qiao Yu was very curious about how Song Wanzi had helped her, so she couldn't help but surf the internet for a while. When she saw Song Wanzi supporting her in the relevant topic—"Impossible, Yu Yu wouldn't do such a thing, I believe her unconditionally"—Song Wanzi's fans were full of questions, shocked and angry.

Which little slut is this now? She actually managed to sneak up on the older sister when we weren't looking!

As a result, a bunch of netizens immediately started digging into Qiao Yu's identity with great enthusiasm. In just a few minutes, Qiao Yu's identity information was known all over the internet, and even the news that she would soon differentiate into the number one fierce Alpha in Beijing had been spread to various forums.

Qiao Yu suddenly wondered if Jiang Mei had also seen Song Wanzi supporting her.

She subconsciously turned to the back row. Jiang Mei didn't even lift her eyelids, but she could clearly hear a faint, cold laugh coming from the other person's nose.

Qiao Yu shrank back in fear, awkwardly stuck in place, unsure whether to turn back or not. She was terrified that if she moved, their friendship would capsize.

Qiao Yu looked pitifully at Meng E, pleading, "Save me, save me, save me, save me!"

I really didn't mean to seduce his wife!
