The 'cozy' daily work life of a witch lady in a cyberpunk interstellar era, occasionally also a passionate epic.
She is a timid girl growing up in a cyberpunk city.
She is a cry...
Chapter 77 Refutation and Explanation
Yilin didn't know how Heshia had been spending these years. She only got a rough idea from Cindy. Now Heshia's parents were gone, and her sister had died for several years. She was all alone. She felt distressed when she thought that the lovely Tilan might be living a very difficult life now.
And the scene she just saw just confirmed some of her guesses.
Heshia was timid and crybaby since she was a child. Later, as everyone got to know her, she gradually became more confident. Later, when her family encountered such drastic changes, it was easy to think that she would shrink back into the corner.
In the Federation, the lower the level, the more maliciousness you have to face. If you wear the same beautiful and gorgeous skirts, children from rich families will be praised unanimously, but children from poor families may be pointed at and said to be pretentious, suffering from princess syndrome, or simply saying that the clothes are fake. Everyone is similar, why are you different?
Being unique has a price to pay. The good thing is to be excluded from the circle, and the bad thing is to be ridiculed and suppressed by everyone.
Irene stood up from her seat. This sentence immediately surprised many people and they turned around.
"What happened?" Cindy also came to the girl.
Seeing her companions gathered around her, Heshia was about to explain, but she felt Irene's strength on her shoulder.
"Let me do it."
She took the personal terminal from Heshia, and then carefully read the message, frowning. Several curious classmates also gathered around her.
"I'm getting angrier and angrier!" Cindy was rarely angry. She was considered a person with a good temper.
"What happened that day, can Tilan tell me?" Irene knew that Heshia was definitely not the kind of girl who worshipped money, but she couldn't bear others slandering her childhood friend like this.
"This is what happened..." Heshia knew that she had to explain it clearly, so she could only slowly restore the situation that day, and also talked about Lina's situation at school.
"Hmph, such a clown dares to bully our Tilan. I can't stand it. Where is she? I must teach her a lesson today." The boys next to her were very angry after knowing this, and wanted to defend the girl.
"Senquierde, which company does this elf man belong to?" Miss Yilin next to her didn't want to let Lina off so easily, and asked about her backers directly.
Heshia shook her head, saying that she didn't ask specifically, and she didn't even remember much about this man.
"It's okay, I'll ask for you." Yilin said to leave it to her, and then the young lady walked aside and called someone she knew.
"Yilin is serious this time." Cindy whispered beside her.
"Although it's a small company, there are many ladies who come to do beauty care. In fact, Yilin's family has a wide range of connections."
"Yilin has her own way, and we boys can't just sit there. Although we definitely can't do illegal things, it's also our duty to help friends clarify rumors." Nuokai emphasized the word "clarification" and looked at his partner next to him.
"That's right."
"How can I not go?"
The twin-like duo appeared again and stood in front of Heshia, so the people in the suite gradually knew what happened today and began to act.
-
On the second floor, the junior high school party.
Jones and a group of boys were a little tipsy. Although they were not yet 20 years old and could not drink strong liquor, the Federation still allowed them to drink low-alcohol drinks such as beer.
On the girls' side, because Lina's mood gradually improved, the others also became active. Everyone talked about their own things, and some talked about where to go to play during the holidays.
"You don't know, Lina will also go to the south to study in the future." A girl who has a good relationship with Lina spoke up.
Jade skirt Because the south is less affected by the poisonous rain, the development is generally better than the north, and the environment is much more beautiful. It is a good thing to travel and go to school there.
"No, no, I don't know which school Lina will go to in the future."
"Turborum Academy is the 16th school in the South Third District. It is a subordinate academy of the Black Snail Group. After graduation, it is easy to go to this company for internship and work."
The Black Snail Group is one of the medium-sized enterprises in the Jade Skirt. It has about 500,000 employees and is famous for producing waterproof materials.
"So powerful, Black Snail Group, I have heard of this company. Because the Jade Skirt was affected by the poisonous rain, their products have been selling very well."
"Is it so powerful?" Others also asked curiously, but were soon rolled their eyes by several girls.
"Please, don't look at people with old eyes, okay? Our Lina is also very powerful. She got admitted by herself. She is not like some people who are just pretending at ordinary times and nothing at critical moments." They are Lina's friends, so they naturally have to protect Lina. As for Heshia, please, I really don't know her.
After that, someone introduced the power of the 'Black Snail Group' and said that it was one of the top 300 companies in the Jade Skirt. For a while, all kinds of envy and congratulations continued, making Lina feel particularly happy.
As expected, there were few people in the class who were worth looking at. They were just like children playing house. She shook her head slightly, feeling that it was the right thing for her to know a social person like Senquild in advance. With the help of this elf man who was familiar with the market, he easily helped her apply for a place in the Turbulence Instrument Academy. As for the students present, who knew the admission rules and specific conditions of the Southern Colleges and Universities?
The more she thought about it, the more proud and confident she became of her previous decision, and the more she disliked Heshia's refusal to save her face.
What are you pretending to be? Humph!
Heshia's refusal that day made her lose face in front of her companions. At that time, she felt her face burning and couldn't breathe for several days. Fortunately, she finally vented her anger today.
What kind of top student is this? He is just an ignorant country duck who probably hasn't even been to the water.
Just as the wine glasses were clinking and the conversation was in full swing in the suite, the door that had been closed before was pushed open. The person
who came was not the waiter who served the dishes, nor was it the other person who went to the wrong room. It was Heshia, who everyone had been waiting for, and the last member of the class to arrive.
"Heshia..." Clara put down the personal terminal in her hand and looked at the figure who pushed the door in the distance, wondering why she came here today.
However, her doubts were soon answered. There was naturally more than one person following Heshia.
Cindy, Irene, and the funny duo of "Shushiyu". Clara looked at the people who came and knew that today would definitely not be peaceful.
"Who among you is Lina?" Cindy stepped forward first, blocking Heshia, and her eyes swept across the room.
"I am, what's wrong?" Lina was in the most excited moment, boldly admitted, and also walked over with a few companions around her.
"Hehe, you dare not come alone, and you also found helpers, right?" She saw the people around Heshia and sneered, not taking them seriously.
Cindy frowned and looked at the girl in front of her who was dressed in heavy makeup and pink, and felt disgusted.
"I am Tilan's classmate, and I want to know who is spreading rumors and bullying people." She spoke directly, and this paragraph made the voices in the suite quieter.
The boys on Jones' side walked over with confusion and watching the show, and they spoke in a low voice.
"It seems that Lina and Heshia are quarreling, and Heshia has even asked her companions to come and speak for her."
"You're asking outsiders for this, tsk."
Just as everyone was talking, Yilin led Heshia to Lina.
"You are Lina, right? I saw all the messages and insults you sent to Tilan." The young lady was clear and her voice was cold.
"Oh, you said I insulted people, how did I insult people, wasn't what I said true? If not, ask the coward next to you, he will hide behind others and pretend to be pitiful." Lina crossed her arms and didn't care. If she was embarrassed because of such a sentence, she wouldn't be standing here today.
"Let me speak, right?" Yilin, as the young lady who was about to inherit the family business, was not the kind of person who was easily refuted. She knew what this old-fashioned person cared about and what he feared.
She naturally wouldn't let Heshia next to her explain, which was simply an insult to her friend and not worthy of her appearance today.
"Then I'll say it directly."
Yilin raised her arm and finally slowly pointed her index finger at the disgusting object in front of her.
"You! Lina Jordanka, you are an out-and-out bitch!" The most direct insult is always so plain and shocking.
The loudness of her voice, the decisiveness and the unquestionable tone of her words, made the whole audience fall silent.
"You!!" Lina immediately rushed forward, her face as crazy as if she wanted to slap Irene.
Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest blade, and Irene hit the most painful part of Lina's heart.
Perhaps Heshia knew the truth in her heart, but she was limited by her previous education and the principles she had always adhered to, so she would not insult people so directly.
Facing Lina who was rushing over, Irene raised her hand and slapped the other's face directly, then glanced at the ugly figure who was struggling in front of her with pride and contempt.
"It's really disgusting."
She made such a comment, then stepped back a few steps and stood with Heshia again.
"How can you insult and bully Lina like this!" Lina, who almost fell to the ground, was helped up. Several girls beside her pointed at Irene and cursed, saying all kinds of ugly words, but Irene didn't care at all. She just held Heshia's hand tightly to reassure her.
"Are all you boys dead? Why are you watching outsiders bully us girls?" Seeing that they couldn't do anything to Irene, several girls immediately started shouting.
In response, Jones and others had no choice but to come over. Although they still didn't understand what had happened, they couldn't just sit there.
"Heshia, can you tell me what's going on?" He looked at the almost unrecognizable girl opposite. It was only then that everyone's focus shifted to Heshia. They found that this girl, who they had disliked before, was so beautiful and pretty that she simply refreshed everyone's cognition.
"Talk to them." Irene whispered in Heshia's ear, then took Heshia's hand and walked forward again.
The girl walked towards Lina who was still crying and howling, then stopped. Seeing Heshia approaching, Lina had hope again. She rushed over again and wanted to slap the girl who disgusted her.
However, such behavior was stopped by Heshia's companions who had expected it. Cindy and several girls grabbed Lina and stopped several girls around Lina.
"This is what happened..." Heshia looked at Lina who showed a side that she didn't expect, and spoke slowly.
Heshia slowly and carefully recounted what happened that day, without exaggeration or distortion. Her voice was clear and simple. Slowly, everyone present also quieted down and listened carefully to the girl's voice.
It seems very nice, why didn't I discover it before.
Did we miss some treasure in the past three years? It's
really a girl as clear and moving as a orchid...
After she finished speaking, the people present finally sorted out what happened and couldn't pity Lina anymore.
"So that's how it is. It's fine if you go into the water yourself, but you also drag your classmates with you. How shameless." Although the voice was low, it was faintly heard by Lina because the scene was not noisy, making her excited.
"It's not like that. You were all deceived by her. A beautiful girl like her is the best at deceiving people." Although it was not her intention to admit that Heshia was very beautiful, she didn't care about that at this time for the purpose of rebuttal. Unfortunately, not many people cared about her words at this time.
Seeing that everyone was not interested in her rebuttal, Lina was so angry that she picked up the glass on the table and slammed it to the ground, making a loud shattering sound.
"Idiots! You are all idiots! You were fooled so easily and teamed up with them to bully people in your class!"
"Look at the clothes Heshia is wearing, can she afford it!?"
"You have seen what Heshia wears normally, and there is no one else in her family, how could she suddenly get a lot of money! "
"What fake nobleness! That's because she has already hooked up with a rich man and looks down on other people!"
"Also, didn't you notice that the personal terminal she had was the latest flagship model of 'Moyun Workshop'? At that time, she told me that she couldn't afford a good one, but now she has one. How long has it been?"
"Liar, just a liar!"
"Also, didn't someone say before that Heshia was seen wearing a different uniform in the Dingxing Tower? How could a girl with limited funds like her appear in such a high-end place? Someone must have paid for her!" Lina spoke faster and faster, and the more she spoke, the more she felt right, and began to change everyone's perception of Heshia.
Yes, this is indeed a suspicious point, and something that cannot be explained, so everyone turned their eyes to Heshia across from them again.
Faced with this situation, Yilin frowned slightly, and she leaned over to speak in Heshia's ear.
"Just say that I lent it to you. Anyway, my family has money."
Heshia shook her head slightly at such instructions and suggestions. If she was willing to lie about such a thing, she would not have fallen out with Lina today.
She let go of Yilin's hand and walked forward slowly alone. At this time, the girl next to Lina could not attack.
She closed her eyes slightly, pressed one hand on her chest, and said something that shocked everyone,
"Yes, it was indeed me who appeared in the Top Star Tower."
