Without saying a word, Chu Hongyu endured the strange looks and almost ran to the notice board.
Sure enough, several large-character posters were prominently displayed on the bulletin board, with the titles written in bold calligraphy that were quite alarming—
"Exposing the ugly face of 'school beauty' Chu Hongyu!"
Moreover, there were signs of tearing on the edges, indicating that these posters were clearly newly pasted.
The big-character poster used vicious language, describing Chu Hongyu as a promiscuous, materialistic woman who, relying on her father, a bank manager, refused to marry Su Xueming and even got him imprisoned.
She even circled in red that she was no longer a virgin and had already had a relationship with Su Xueming, emphasizing the statement made by Su's family when they came to cause trouble.
They even posted photos of her and Su Xueming that the Su family had specially obtained, as well as their correspondence...
"Who...who wrote this?!" Jiang Yuejin stared wide-eyed in disbelief, unable to comprehend how his goddess, Chu Hongyu, could be described in such a way.
Chu Hongyu's beautiful face turned pale instantly. The whispers and every word on them were like the forked tongue of a venomous snake, licking at her sensitive pride.
She bit her lip, feeling a sudden darkness before her eyes, her stomach churning, and a feeling of nausea rising in her throat.
The love letters between lovers back then, so sweet and intimate, now feel like a knife, piercing her heart.
Jiang Yuejin looked at Chu Hongyu in a panic: "Chu Hongyu... all of this is slander, slander against you, right? My aunt said that you two just had a simple Platonic relationship, and I... don't believe it."
How could a beautiful and aloof girl like Chu Hongyu not be a virgin?
In the photo, Su Xueming and Chu Hongyu are indeed a handsome man and a beautiful woman, leaning intimately together without anything too outrageous.
But what's with that letter posted up there...? It even described Chu Hongyu's physical characteristics!
The surrounding crowd watched them as if they were watching a spectacle, the whispers grew louder, and some even started pointing and gossiping about them.
Seeing that Chu Hongyu remained silent, Jiang Yuejin's face turned ashen. He asked in a low voice, "This letter... is it really you...?"
He looked at the photos, then at Chu Hongyu's pale face. The photos and letters weighed heavily on his heart like a boulder.
He finally couldn't hold back and started cursing: "You... my aunt liked you so much, and even said I'd struck gold, but you're not a virgin anymore, you slept with men before marriage... you're a wicked woman with a bad lifestyle!!"
Chu Hongyu bit her lower lip hard, her bloodless lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a single word.
She felt a buzzing in her ears; the vicious words were like countless flies, swirling around her ears and refusing to leave.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Yuejin became even angrier and pointed at her nose, cursing, "You liar! Your parents still treat you like a treasure, and you actually do such a shameless thing!"
After Jiang Yuejin finished speaking, he reached out and snatched the pencil case from her hand: "Give me back my pen!"
After saying that, he angrily pushed through the crowd and left.
More and more people gathered around to watch the spectacle, pointing and whispering among themselves about Chu Hongyu.
Chu Hongyu took a deep breath and tried to steady her swaying body. She was determined not to fall in front of these people and make a fool of herself!
She raised her head and coldly swept her gaze over the onlookers. Their hearts pounded with fear at her icy stare, and they involuntarily shut their mouths.
"What are you looking at! What's so interesting! This is all slander!!" Chu Hongyu coldly threw out a sentence, turned around and quickly left the teaching building.
She ran all the way to the grove of trees at school, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, squatting down and bursting into tears.
Why? Why is this happening?
Just because she dated a scumbag, does she deserve this slut-shaming?
She was wrong...
She loved someone so intensely back then, and the price of loving the wrong person was too high for her to bear!
Her eyes were filled with humiliation and resentment.
...
Ding Lan, watching her retreating figure from the crowd, curled her lip and said, "I knew it. Her whole family is stupid. If I had her resources, I wouldn't be in this state where everyone hates me."
Standing next to her, Zhang Hongmei gave her a disdainful look, then turned and walked away, saying, "Alright, are you afraid others won't know you're jealous of your former roommate?"
Ding Lan followed with a grin: "I'm not jealous of her, but she offended me and cut off my source of income. It's not too much for me to make a little money by stepping on her, is it? I'm not like her, a pampered young lady from a cadre family. I'm short of money."
If it weren't for Chu Hongyu, she wouldn't have been kicked out of the dormitory by Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan is a real money magnet; any money that slips through her fingers would be enough to cover her expenses for four years of university.
Unfortunately, Ning Yuan likes Chu Hongyu but not her, even though she and Ning Yuan are the most alike.
Zhang Hongmei felt that she was spouting nonsense and frowned as she asked, "You didn't let anyone find out about putting up the big-character posters, did you?"
Ding Lan's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Don't worry, I'm very clever. The teachers and security guards will tear it off one minute, and I'll put it back on the next. No one will notice!"
As she spoke, she gestured with her palm facing upwards towards Zhang Hongmei.
Zhang Hongmei took out seven or eight grain coupons and ten yuan from her pocket, counted them several times, and then handed them to her, saying irritably, "Alright, shut your mouth! Otherwise, Chairman Lu has plenty of ways to make sure you can't stay in the Economics Department!"
Ding Lan happily counted the banknotes: "I've witnessed Chairman Lu's methods firsthand. Back then, she used big-character posters to kill quite a few people in the factory. She was a pioneer in the struggle. She's very skilled at it. How jealous she must be of Chu Hongyu."
"Shut up!" Zhang Hongmei's face instantly turned ugly. "What nonsense are you talking about? Chairman Lu is trying to get rid of these black sheep and vixens who are disgracing our Fudan University Economics Department!"
Ding Lan carefully put away the tickets and money, shrugged, and said, "Whatever makes you happy, but..."
She suddenly leaned close to Zhang Hongmei, smiling innocently: "Please tell Chairman Lu that I respect her very much, but don't think I'm easy to bully, otherwise I'll be barefoot and not afraid of anyone wearing shoes, and I'll definitely tear off her fake skin!"
After saying that, she waved and walked away happily.
Zhang Hongmei watched her retreating figure and spat contemptuously on the ground: "Pah, what a piece of trash, daring to threaten the Chairman!"
She didn't take Ding Lan's threat to heart, and turned back to the department's student union office to reply to messages and, incidentally, complain.
...
A black Hongqi sedan stopped in front of Rong Zhaonan's dormitory building.
Tony glanced at his young master in the rearview mirror: "Young Master, was Chu Hongyu with her new boyfriend just now?"
With a new boyfriend, she probably won't be working for the young master anymore.
Ning Bingyu said calmly, "Her new boyfriend probably won't last long, it doesn't matter. The focus isn't on her right now. Anan came back early, so her usefulness isn't obvious for the time being."
The original plan was to use Chu Hongyu as a roundabout way to achieve our goal.
Tony glanced at the lit room upstairs: "Shall we go up now?"
Ning Bingyu, however, was in no hurry. He took out a cigar, lit it, and said, "No rush. We'll go up when the light in the bathroom is on."
Tony's expression was somewhat complicated: "...Yes."
The eldest son is actually more suitable to be a detective...
The room lights came on—meaning, well, it's over. Even if we did it again in the bathroom, being interrupted wouldn't have a big impact.
