The harshness on her face made her look a little ferocious.
The Chu An she was referring to was Chu An, a graduating senior and the most popular student at this prestigious university. A son of a wealthy family, he was a young talent admired by everyone on campus.
The woman standing beside him, her face filled with sadness, unable to hide it, was his girlfriend, Xia Yao. Beneath her forbearance, a hint of pride and malice gradually surfaced. This woman was also the campus belle of this aristocratic school. She and Chu An were a golden couple, the school's recognized couple.
Handsome men and beautiful women are always eye-catching. They are the celebrities of the entire university, everyone knows them, more dazzling than celebrities, born into wealth, talented and beautiful, and they love each other deeply, a marriage that is passed down by word of mouth.
What makes this marriage seem less happy and harmonious is that Nan Mu, who is lying on the ground and unable to get up, is Xia Yao's half-sister and an illegitimate daughter known to everyone in City A.
As popular as Xia Yao was at school, Nan Mu felt ostracized. She wasn't very attractive, with heavy bangs covering most of her face. She was too thin, but she always wore loose skirts, resembling a clown. Her face was very pale, and her existence was inherently humble and insignificant. In this profit-driven university, she was looked down upon.
She followed Xia Yao timidly, but her eyes were always on Chu An. But who could blame Xia Yao for being beautiful and kind-hearted? She felt that Nan Mu was pitiful and could not fit into this aristocratic circle. She wanted to keep her by her side and help her broaden her horizons. But this woman repaid kindness with enmity. She was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat and wanted to harass Chu An.
She sent him a love letter today and confessed her love to him in public tomorrow, without caring about Xia Yao's existence at all. For a time, she became the public enemy of the whole school. A person who was nothing actually wanted to destroy their recognized golden boy and jade girl. She simply didn't want to live.
Ever since she confessed her feelings, she'd been ostracized and bullied at school. It was all done by Xia Tian and Chu An's fans, just to vent their anger. Even though Xia Yao repeatedly said she didn't care, it couldn't stop those people's madness.
Today was her senior year graduation ceremony. She stood on the second floor of the auditorium, holding a megaphone, intending to make another passionate confession in front of the entire school. Unfortunately, before she could even open her mouth, she stumbled and fell, earning her classmates' jeers and ridicule.
After hearing what classmate A said, classmate B, who was standing next to her, immediately said, "Exactly. What is she trying to do by doing this? Moral kidnapping? Threatening death? Trying to get Senior Chu An to agree to her? How could a woman resort to such vulgar tactics? There's such a thick red carpet down there, and the second floor isn't very high. I don't believe she'd fall seriously. Now she's lying on the ground, motionless. What's the meaning of this?"
The students at this school were all the elite in City C, so even a simple graduation ceremony would cause quite a stir. The red carpet on the ground was specially made and very thick. Furthermore, the second floor was not very high. Even if there wasn't a red carpet, there would be no harm in the fall. So, seeing the woman lying motionless on the ground, everyone thought it was another trick of hers.
Sitting on the high platform above were the dignitaries of City C, the principal, and various important figures. It was really not a good sight to see such a scene.
Xia Yao turned around and looked at Chu An, whose face was full of coldness. He tried hard to suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth, and then put on a heavy expression. He looked at the woman lying motionless on the ground, as if he couldn't bear it.
"Brother An, why don't you let her get up? Tell her we won't pursue the matter. Tell her to stop making a fuss. The principal is here, and it really won't look good."
Chu An turned his head to look at the petite Xia Yao nestled beside him, and his heart softened a little. She was always so kind. Chu An touched Xia Yao's cheek and said softly: "You are just too kind."
Xia Yao blushed, looking very embarrassed, and said coquettishly: "Nonsense, no way."
"I'll only forgive her this time, and it won't happen again."
Xia Yao seemed very happy when she heard Chu An say this, and said with a smile: "Oh, I see, Brother An."
Chu An looked at her lovingly, then turned his gaze to Nan Mu lying on the ground. His eyes were full of disgust, and his voice was as cold as ice.
"Nan Mu, I appreciate your kindness, but my heart is small. It can only hold Yaoyao. Please don't make things difficult for me. Today is the day of the school's graduation ceremony. If there is anything, we can solve it privately. Don't make a fuss today. Get up first."
Chu An spoke to the unconscious woman in a condescending manner, as if giving alms.
After he finished speaking, he took Xia Yao into his arms, sighed, touched her hair, and said: "Yaoyao, I'm sorry for putting you through this. When we graduate, I'll get rid of her and won't cause you any trouble."
Xia Yao couldn't help shaking his head when he heard Chu An's words, but he still said softly: "It's okay, Brother An, Nan Mu is my sister after all, and it's my duty to help her. I just hope she doesn't resent me and my mother too much. After all, she feels that we have taken away something that belongs to her. She hasn't done anything wrong, so just ignore her. Besides, she... is the fiancée that the Lu family specifically asked for."
"Yaoyao, you are still so kind."
Xia Yao responded to Chu An with a polite smile.
Looking at the two people in love above, the people below were even more furious. This woman was simply a bad apple, ruining such a beautiful marriage. Damn it.
