The next day, Meng Wan, as usual, went for a morning run and then stretched.
In the past, many people would look at her, but today, their gazes seemed to carry something strange.
Whenever Meng Wan looked back, the others would immediately avert their gaze.
Meng Wan was puzzled, but didn't pay much attention and continued stretching on her own.
"Wanwan!"
Following the direction of the sound, she saw Xu Jiaojiao. Xu Jiaojiao ran towards her anxiously, carrying breakfast for Lin Mi and Guo Qingqing.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Meng Wan had just finished the last movement and stood up.
"Quick, look at this post." Xu Jiaojiao, without even catching her breath, hurriedly took out her phone, opened the page, and handed it to Meng Wan.
Meng Wan frowned, puzzled, but still took it.
Shocking! The image of a rich heiress collapses; she was switched at birth with a fake heiress.
The oversized, bold black title is particularly eye-catching.
Meng Wan raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat interesting.
She was scribbling through the article; it wasn't long.
The gist of it is that she's currently cultivating a rich heiress persona, but in reality, she's a fake heiress who was switched at birth. She lives in a poor, dilapidated apartment building, her family is in debt, and her current glamorous life is just a way to leech off her boyfriend. She's not a real rich girl at all; she's just a fake heiress who's taken over someone else's house.
She even said that she went to a prestigious high school despite her family's financial difficulties, and bullied the real heiress, causing her to be unable to bear the pressure and be sent abroad by her family.
The article also included several pictures of her from high school, which made it seem more authentic.
Meng Wan could guess who posted the message even with her toes. Tang Zhiyi, you really don't disappoint.
Meng Wan remained expressionless and returned the phone to Xu Jiaojiao.
"Wanwan, are you...are you alright?" Meng Wan's expression was too calm, which made Xu Jiaojiao a little scared.
"I'm fine, it's just a little trick."
"Who is so malicious as to spread such baseless rumors?" Meng Wan was not in a hurry, but Xu Jiaojiao looked indignant.
"Aren't you afraid it's true?" Meng Wan chuckled.
“I’ve known you for so long, do you think someone like you can’t make their own judgment? No, why aren’t you worried at all? This is slander!” Xu Jiaojiao frowned, like an ant on a hot pan.
"How about we post a clarification first?"
"No need." Meng Wan pinched Xu Jiaojiao's cheek.
After more than half a month, despite eating the cheapest food at school, Xu Jiaojiao's face finally gained some weight thanks to her roommates' enthusiastic feeding.
"No need, are we just going to leave it like this?" Xu Jiaojiao was stunned.
"A lie can't become the truth. The other party is clearly trying to ruin my reputation, and they will definitely have another move. We just need to wait and see."
Meng Wan patted Xu Jiaojiao on the shoulder, and the two walked towards the dormitory.
Lin Mi and Guo Qingqing had just woken up and were unaware of what had happened. They even asked Xu Jiaojiao why she looked so worried.
After Xu Jiaojiao finished speaking, the two of them exploded and were about to launch an attack on the website, but Meng Wan suppressed them and told them to just focus on their classes.
"But... Wanwan, it seems you're trending on social media."
Guo Qingqing placed the phone screen in front of Meng Wan.
Logically, matters between schools shouldn't trend on social media. Clearly, this was bought.
"How much do they hate you? Spreading rumors so easily, and now it's trending on social media. From now on, every dog you pass by will bark at you when you go out, right?" Lin Mi said, speechless.
She spread her hands, "So what are you planning to do now? It's easy to spread rumors, but it's exhausting to refute them. It's only the first semester of freshman year, the semester has just started. You don't want to be pointed at and talked about for four years, do you? You might even be subjected to cyberbullying..."
"Hey Lin Mi, can't you say something nice?" Guo Qingqing couldn't take it anymore.
"To be honest, that's how people are these days; they believe everything they hear." Lin Mi shrugged and finally shut up.
"What Mimi said was a bit blunt, but it's not without reason. It would be better to clarify things before the hype escalates."
"If we're going to refute a rumor, then of course we should do it when things are at their worst." Meng Wan smiled, calm and collected, as if everything was within her expectations.
The three looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of Meng Wan's words.
"Go to class first, and it should be about time after class."
Meng Wan picked up her textbooks, and the others, coming to their senses, hurriedly packed their things as well.
Once outside, people kept casting their gazes and pointing at us.
"Lin Mi, what you said makes sense. Look at these people, they don't know anything but they're pointing fingers." Guo Qingqing deliberately spoke loudly, and the others knew she was referring to them, so they touched their noses and quickened their pace to leave.
Meng Wan looked at the group, a faint smile playing on her lips, seemingly unaffected by the rumors.
Rather, she should thank Tang Zhiyi for the good deed she did.
She was already an adult, powerful, and had left the Tang family. It wasn't a good idea to keep her identity hidden forever; she was just waiting for an opportunity to reveal it.
Tang Zhiyi's gesture was like offering a spoon when someone wanted some soup; in fact, she should thank Tang Zhiyi instead.
During the class, Meng Wan took notes and answered questions without being disturbed at all. On the contrary, Guo Qingqing and the other two kept checking whether the trending topics had gone down and looking at the real-time comments. If they saw anything bad, they would block and report it and join in the cursing.
As expected of a woman who has been involved in various fan circles for many years, she can curse without using a single swear word.
"The world is going to the dogs; girls these days are so vain."
"Stop creating gender antagonism and don't really think that men are all good."
"What, now anyone can get into our school?"
