All eyes followed the sound.
Qian Xiaozhen: Lu Ximing!
My dream man is speaking up for me!
At this moment, a mix of gratitude and anticipation welled up and turned into tears, which suddenly fell down.
Lu Ximing walked between the two sides, bent down to help her pick up the important items one by one, and handed them to Qian Xiaozhen.
"You know you were wrong this time, so don't take things without asking next time. There's an unwritten rule in the dorm: first come, first served."
If you're really worried about rolling off the bed at night, you should go to the dormitory manager's office and ask a teacher to help you get a lower bunk, instead of taking over a classmate's bed on your own.
Just hearing that voice made Qian Xiaozhen feel invigorated. The red and swollen spots on her face from Gao Qing's thunderous blow didn't seem to hurt as much anymore.
She stared intently at Lu Ximing, at a loss for words.
Like a lovesick girl!
"Ximing, you're too kind to people. It's just a pity that some people seem to forget how they were treated."
Gao Qing crossed her arms and glanced at Qian Xiaozhen with disdain.
"Alright, my dear Miss Gao. She's a student from out of town, after all, she's unfamiliar with the place and doesn't know our rules. Why bother arguing with her? Come on, let's go to the cafeteria. If we wait any longer, all the good food will be gone."
With an air of superiority and pity, Lu Ximing winked at Qian Xiaozhen and coaxed Gao Qing and the others to leave.
The crowd dispersed with the main character, leaving Qian Xiaozhen and her "sisters" sheepishly picking up their belongings.
Qian Xiaozhen watched Lu Ximing and Gao Qing's figures gradually disappear into the distance, her teeth clenched with hatred.
Looking down again, seeing her so-called sisters sprawled all over the ground, she became even angrier.
"Alright! Now you're all very proactive. Why were you all like mutes when I needed help earlier?"
"Have all the meals I've treated you to gone to the dog's stomach?"
Among the group, Yu Wei, who was most enthusiastic about flattering her, struggled to his feet while holding Qian Xiaozhen's freshly rolled-up bedding. He comforted her, saying, "Xiaozhen, don't blame us. That Gao Qing is really not someone to mess with."
Her family background is unfathomable. I heard that a freshman has already dropped out because of her. We absolutely cannot afford to offend her.
"However, Xiao Zhen, I think that senior is right. Instead of arguing with them, you should go to the dormitory manager as soon as possible and apply to be reassigned to a different room. You can use this as an excuse..."
“I, Qian Xiaozhen, have never suffered such a humiliation. Just wait, I will not let them get away with this.”
Looking at Qian Xiaozhen's messy belongings and how she had just been beaten by Gao Qing but hadn't dared to utter a sound, Qian Lai's mind was filled with memories of the original owner's previous life.
Last time, it was the original owner who got beaten up.
But that time, it wasn't that the original owner changed Zhang Qiumeng's bed; rather, it was Zhang Qiumeng who bullied her and tried to take her bed.
She refused, so the man threw all her belongings outside.
Just as Gao Qing's slap was about to land, Lu Ximing intervened and saved the situation. From then on, the original owner foolishly believed that Lu Ximing was her god of justice.
While Lu Ximing had an ambiguous relationship with Gao Qing, he secretly coveted the original owner's beauty and became entangled with her.
The poor original owner was indecisive and was completely fooled by his "talent and looks".
After being played and abandoned by Gao Qing, the original owner of the body also became his "socialite" in the business world.
Gao Qing was indeed no pushover. Her aunt was Gao Zhen, the wife of Gu's fifth uncle.
Qian Lai pondered carefully, and realized that Qian Xiaozhen, in her previous life as Gu Hanchuan's first wife, had never met Gao Qing.
It's clear that the Gu family never treated her as one of their own.
Excellent! She hopes Qian Xiaozhen can be permanently locked in with that scumbag Lu Ximing. And Gao Qing might just be the key figure in making her wish come true!
Today was destined to be a fruitful day, but she never expected that the "harvest" would go far beyond that.
When Qian Lai arrived at the newspaper office, Hua Rui and the editors were huddled together whispering about some secret.
Upon seeing her arrive, Hua Rui immediately beamed with joy and pulled her to her seat.
"Have you heard? Liu Shifan is in big trouble. I heard that the Supervisory Commission is investigating him. They're saying he's suspected of bribery, buying and selling news, and manipulating public opinion."
Moreover, he was filmed meeting with someone.
It is said that the person who contacted him was also involved with higher-ups.
"Tsk tsk, now it'll be difficult for him to turn things around."
It seems that this is not the first time Liu Shifan has used his position as a journalist to hype up news and accept bribes.
He has used the factional struggles above him to gain fame and fortune for many years, which shows that there are indeed people above him acting as his "protector".
Qian Lai thought of the news about the Gu family. She'd run into this "old fox" and ended up helping him gather the materials.
It's also because the Gu family mother and daughter are as stupid and unreasonable as pigs; they deserve to have someone come along to teach them a lesson.
However, what's truly terrifying is that it's fortunate he was brought to justice; otherwise, who knows what kind of repercussions Uncle Gu would have faced.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Hua Rui added mysteriously, "Do you know who reported him?"
“It’s his wife.” Hua Rui grinned from ear to ear. “At first, she was completely uncooperative. I don’t know what happened, but the next day she actually took the photos of Liu Shifan’s dealings with others and evidence of bribery to the Supervisory Commission to report him. It was a complete 180-degree change in attitude!”
