Shi Wuqing had prepared in the morning, but he was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of situation.

She put down the small cake she had just picked up and looked back.

Two or three elegantly dressed young ladies stood behind her, with unfriendly expressions and undisguised jealousy and contempt in their eyes.

What they said was very unpleasant:

"What? Looking at us with that expression, noble Lady Leng, is she going to faint from crying next?"

"You've used that kind of means to get to the top, and you're not ashamed of yourself, and you still dare to show up in public... If I were your parents, I would have strangled you to death long ago! You'd have to avoid being looked down upon by others!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, if you're not feeling well, just stay home and wait for death. Look at how sick you look. It's really bad luck to show up in this kind of situation!"

The women who were watching the show not far away also followed along with a smile and occasionally chimed in. It was obvious that their status was not as high as that of these three people, so they did not dare to come over and cause trouble blatantly, and could only hide behind the ones who stood out and ridiculed them.

Shi Wuqing was standing alone. Her blue fitted dress showed off her beautiful yet slim figure, and her snow-white skin was almost glowing under the light.

She looked frightened and innocent, like a princess surrounded by hungry wolves, pitiful and weak.

[After being frustrated for so long, I finally feel refreshed]

【Shi Wuqing deserves it! 】

[It’s good to curse, curse more]

My internet mouthpiece (heart eyes), my messenger of justice (heart eyes), I love them so much (heart eyes)

[Sisters are so bold! (Rabbit happily spinning.jpg) I hope Leng Chen doesn't do anything stupid later.]

[Hahaha, what does it mean that Qianyuan male god is standing in the corner watching the show, hahahaha]

Shi Wuqing didn't have the energy to pay attention to the comment section at the moment. She was thinking about how to deal with it.

Naturally, these people's words had no effect on her. She was just thinking about how to make a response that would best suit her character and be beneficial in the future.

——Since I can’t be invisible, why not start laying the groundwork from now on?

Shi Wuqing made a decision.

She pinched herself secretly...

So, the reader sees—

The young girl with black hair and fair skin slowly lowered her head amid the ridicule and taunts.

Her long, slender fingers slowly clenched.

Others can't see it, but readers can.

The moment she lowered her head, the girl's eyes were instantly filled with crystal tears. This was different from her usual pitiful tears that were about to fall but couldn't. Instead, it was a silent cry caused by a sudden and extremely strong emotion.

The girl in a gorgeous blue dress had a pretty face like that of a young girl. As her long eyelashes blinked, a huge teardrop fell down. She was quiet, sad, and in a trance, as if she had returned to her teenage years, when she was still a girl wearing a school uniform, a ponytail, and with a clear and innocent look in her eyes.

Time doesn't seem to have changed her at all.

——Although in the readers’ imagination, she is still a student, she should also be very scheming.

But at this moment, I still inexplicably have a vision of a pure soul.

【……】

[I don’t know why…I feel a little sad too.]

Although readers said this, their opinion of Shi Wuqing did not change. They simply felt that the author wanted to show Shi Wuqing's beauty and the beautiful brokenness at certain moments to explain the male protagonist's behavior.

If Shi Wuqing continued to cry like this and asked Leng Chen for help out of grievance, this scene would not leave any impression on them.

But Shi Wuqing just shed a tear and then clenched her fingers tighter, as if trying to suppress some strong emotion, and closed her eyes tightly.

When she opened her eyes again, she had let go of her hand, raised her eyes, and returned to the White Lotus mode familiar to the audience.

"You... I know you like Ah Chen and think I'm not worthy of him, but... I like him as much as any of you! As for what you said... it was just a misunderstanding! Please don't hurt strangers because of unfounded rumors!"

A gentle and generous voice said, "But I know you didn't do it on purpose. You're just too sad because Ah Chen treats me well. I won't blame you."

This is a sentence that makes people's anger rise sharply!

In the past, readers would have started cursing, but now, their focus is not on this paragraph.

【? ? 】

[Uh...her sadness now seems so much more fake than before, doesn't it? She's just pretending.]

I don't quite understand. Since she was scolded just now and was really upset, why didn't she pretend before, but is pretending now? She cried more just now, didn't she?

[No! You're missing the point! How could anyone react to being scolded by so many people by being sad, rather than angry and frustrated?]

[…? (Thoughts sublime.jpg)]

[…Does that make sense? If someone scolds me, even if I can't win, even if I feel wronged, my first reaction is to get angry! (angry face.jpg)]
