Chapter 610 Online and Offline Lu Xuexue looked at the coquettish message sent by Gu Ximan, took another deep breath, and hovered her finger above the input box.
She made a final conclusion in her mind: Xiaoman, if she continues like this, may seem to have the upper hand in everything, but in reality, she is narrowing her own path.
— The "lower limit" is indeed high, with the younger sister's identity as a safety net, so he can always be "open and aboveboard," but the "upper limit" is visibly decreasing.
Guilt is the scale that Gu Luo is most likely to tip when making choices. Of course, it's not about deliberately using this guilt, but it is indeed a key bargaining chip that cannot be avoided in the battle for the marriage certificate.
If Gu Ximan were to be affectionate with Gu Luo in front of Shen Qingling, it would firstly confirm the rumors that Shen Qingling was "valued by Gu Luo," and secondly, it would make Gu Luo gradually get used to her closeness, and subconsciously feel less guilty towards her. Instead, he would feel pity for Shen Qingling because she was being suppressed.
If this continues, the outcome will be clear.
Gu Luo had no reason to choose his sister, whom he could always be openly and honestly close to and who would not have to bear the pressure of "letting him down," as his wife.
And what about myself?
Should we take the opportunity to get rid of Gu Ximan, or give her a helping hand?
There's no need to hesitate.
As human beings, we should know how to be grateful.
Having thought all this through, Lu Xuexue didn't directly point it out. Instead, she lightly tapped the screen and sent a semi-leading message: "Xiaoman, you're amazing! But I suddenly thought of something... When you kissed Brother Gu this morning, weren't all the classmates saying, 'The siblings have such a good relationship?' Wouldn't they then wonder, 'If Shen Qingling didn't have some special relationship, would you be so excited...? And if Brother Gu were...'"
After the message was sent, the chat window remained silent for a full five minutes.
Lu Xuexue put down her phone and picked up her pen again to work out the problem, but the pen moved a little slower than before.
She could guess Gu Ximan's expression at that moment, from confusion to shock, and then to anger.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, Gu Ximan's message exploded, even the punctuation seemed to drip with anger: 【Xuexue! Now that you mention it, I think I understand. I just ran into a group of girls, and their first question was, "Is Shen Qingling really having an affair with that jerk?"】
At this moment, Gu Ximan was slumped over a desk in the first-year teaching building. Her once bright smile had vanished, her lips were pressed into a straight line, and her cheeks were flushed red with anger.
Xixi has become Buxixi.
Her small fist, gripping her phone so tightly, almost bulged out the veins. Her knuckles turned white as she clenched it. The scene from that morning kept replaying in her mind: Shen Qingling's provocative gaze, his resolute departure, and the whispers of her classmates—it was all a trap from the very beginning!
This little crazy girl, how can she be so cunning... Gu Ximan gritted her teeth, she was so angry she was about to die.
I'm so angry! I'm so angry!
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Shen Qingling's move was a killing blow. If Xuexue hadn't reminded her, she really would have used her special status to "show off" every day. In the end, she didn't get the marriage certificate and instead became a fool who paved the way for Shen Qingling.
What angered her even more was that Shen Qingling was able to join the girl group only because she had half-voluntarily pulled her in!
"Xi Man, what's wrong?" A girl in the front row suddenly turned around, her face full of gossipy excitement, and whispered, "I saw you protecting Gu Shen at the school gate this morning. Is it true that Shen Qingling and Gu Shen are really together? Let me tell you, you absolutely can't let her succeed. Gu Shen is so good, how can she be taken away by him!"
Another girl immediately chimed in, "Yeah, yeah! We all think there's something going on between your brother and Shen Qingling. The way you acted this morning, it must be because of this!"
These words were like sparks, instantly igniting Gu Ximan's anger.
She pursed her lips tightly, and clenched her fists even tighter.
Gu Ximan suddenly stood up, the chair legs scraping against the floor with a screeching sound, startling the two female classmates who took a half step back.
"My brother would never be with her!" Gu Ximan said, her eyes filled with fighting spirit as she sat back down.
After school this afternoon, I must have a "free-for-all" fight with Shen Qingling to get my revenge!
Since we can't win with words, let's settle this with fists.
Meanwhile, Lu Xuexue, who was in another classroom, sighed softly after receiving Gu Ximan's message, "I'll go deal with her this afternoon!"
Xiaoman, you really have a long way to go. If you're not careful, you could easily be kicked out by the other sisters.
She put down her phone, looked out at the bright sunshine, and wrote clear words on the exercise book with her pen.
The battle for the marriage certificate has only just begun.
In terms of danger level, apart from Xiaoman, the other sisters are all in greater danger than the last.
