Chapter 176: Stealing the Storm
Chu Yao wanted to argue that she didn't cheat.
But if she said that, Xu Qingyun's followers would definitely ask her to prove it again.
There is no surveillance in the auditorium, how can this be proved?
It’s better to let Xu Qingyun prove it himself.
She just noticed that the takeaway bag had just been opened.
The seal on the box containing the salmon showed no signs of being broken.
Xu Qingyun must have decided to frame her on a whim and didn't even have time to deal with the details.
In other words, maybe no one stole any food at all, she just ordered this little bit!
Chu Yao looked straight at Xu Qingyun: "What makes you say that I cheated? I'm innocent, I didn't touch it at all! I doubt you ordered so little! Xu Qingyun, you can't be so magnanimous that you can't afford to treat everyone!"
Her henchman yelled again, "Chu Yao, are you crazy? Do you think Qingyun is you? Qingyun's hairpins cost thousands of yuan, how could she not even be able to afford a box of salmon?"
Xu Qingyun looked at Chu Yao speechlessly, as if she had told a huge joke.
After a moment of silence, Xu Qingyun smiled again and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, then just consider it as me not ordering anything."
He looked magnanimous and didn't want to argue with her.
In the past, it would have been impossible. Xu Qingyun really liked to spend his own money to build connections.
But her mother had an accident recently. Maybe her family really has no money to treat her mother?
Maybe her father was too busy giving her money?
It's all possible.
But Chu Yao herself would definitely not tell anyone that her mother had become a vegetable.
Otherwise, wouldn't it arouse her classmates' sympathy and make them lean towards her?
Chu Yao looked at Xu Qingyun: "Where's the receipt? Take it out and check it."
Xu Qingyun smiled calmly, "I threw it away when I got the takeaway back. Okay, okay, stop talking. I don't want to delay our rehearsal because of this little thing."
Her followers followed her lead and put pressure on Chu Yao: "Yeah, I'm giving you a way out, so just take it. Don't make it more embarrassing later!"
After saying that, the follower picked up the disposable chopsticks and asked everyone to eat.
Chu Yao held down her chopsticks, determined not to let it go. "Slandering my innocence has become a trivial matter, right? No! Everything must be explained clearly today! If you don't have the receipt, show everyone your order record! What, you're not going to say your phone is out of battery, are you?"
A hint of panic flashed in Xu Qingyun's eyes.
I didn't expect Chu Yao to be so aggressive today. Why is she the one who needs to prove herself now?
Other students also advised: "Xu Qingyun, why don't you just show everyone the screenshots of the order? The more you block it, doesn't it just prove that you're guilty?"
Xu Qingyun finally realized that things were out of control. His heart was beating wildly. He looked at Chu Yao hatefully, but quickly returned to normal.
She smiled apologetically and said gently, "Actually, I don't even know how to order takeout. I just called my maid and asked her to order for me, so I don't have any order information."
Chu Yao took a look at the takeaway bag, which had the name of the store printed on it.
Chu Yao took out her mobile phone and searched for the takeaway shop, from where she could directly contact the store.
Chu Yao first showed everyone the store information.
"Everyone, look, this is the restaurant where she ordered takeout. I'll call and ask."
It was so cold that Xu Qingyun had already formed a thin layer of sweat on his back.
But in front of so many people, she couldn't just snatch Chu Yao's phone away.
She could only maintain a gentle smile and frantically think of a solution in her mind.
Soon, the call was connected.
Chu Yao turned on the speaker and asked the shop owner, "Hello, did someone from Fengpu No. 1 Middle School just place a large order? Delivered to the auditorium?"
Shopkeeper: "Yes, yes, yes. If you have any questions, please tell us in detail. Please don't give us a bad review."
Chu Yao asked, "What's wrong with you? You gave me one-third less salmon! This big lunch box isn't even full!"
The store owner panicked: "It's not our fault, you can't blame us! You originally ordered a medium portion, so the lunch box is not full. And you didn't order salmon, you ordered cheap farmed rainbow trout, which is a special price of 99. We clearly mark the prices. Cheap is cheap, and we don't sell inferior products as good ones. Don't try to blackmail us."
When some classmates heard this, they lowered their heads and started laughing.
Not only did he buy rainbow trout to pretend to be salmon, but he also bought a medium portion to pretend to be a large portion to frame his classmates.
If they were caught doing this, they would really have to move to another planet to live on.
"That's not right. Our classmate said she ordered a large salmon!" Chu Yao handed the phone directly to Xu Qingyun, "Come, talk to the merchant."
The other students also looked at her, waiting for her response.
Xu Qingyun gently said to the merchant, "Maybe there was a mistake here."
After saying that, he immediately hung up Chu Yao's phone.
Xu Qingyun remained calm until now, and apologized to everyone, "It must be the servants at home who deceived me. My mother accidentally fell and became a vegetable. Since the mistress is not around, the servants at home deceive me every day."
Chu Yao sneered: "So you come here to bully me? You come up and accuse me of stealing your food? Now it's proven that I didn't steal, you have to apologize to me!"
Xu Qingyun stared at her.
It was really unexpected that Chu Yao, who had allowed herself to be bullied without resistance before, had become so bold in just a few months.
She wanted to continue making excuses to get away with it.
Suddenly I saw Qin Jiahuai standing outside the auditorium, as if waiting for someone.
She had a thought... Ever since her mother became a vegetable, Qin Mingzhang and Jiang Yuman had comforted her and asked her to think more positively.
This matter is too big. No matter how great the hatred is, it is not enough to gloat over her mother's misfortune when she is in a vegetative state.
She believed that Qin Jiahuai also had some sympathy for her at this time.
If Qin Jiahuai knew that Chu Yao was the kind of person who would kick a classmate when he was down...
Xu Qingyun, who had always been very arrogant, suddenly had red eyes and tears fell down, feeling wronged and broken.
But she just wouldn't say "I'm sorry".
Her followers immediately understood and questioned Chu Yao: "Do you have any sympathy at all?"
"We're all classmates, why are you so aggressive? Her mother is in a vegetative state!"
Xu Qingyun cried while paying attention to Qin Jiahuai's movements outside the door.
