Lin Chuxia spent the whole afternoon putting away the things she bought, and then happily went out to find something to eat.
After all, she had been busy for most of the day and was hungry.
Unexpectedly, she ran into An Mingzhu and Chu and a few others near Jinda University!
"Chuxia, what are you doing here?" An Mingzhu was extremely surprised when she saw Lin Chuxia.
"If you can be here, why can't I?"
“No, Chu Xia, I didn’t mean that… The reason I’m here is because Brother Shanwen said he wanted to show us around the school beforehand. You know, I got into Jinda University, and school starts in a little over half a month…” An Mingzhu explained softly.
"What a coincidence, I also came early to familiarize myself with the environment." Lin Chuxia stuffed the remaining half of the sesame seed cake into her mouth, picked up the half-empty bottle of water and her bag from the table, and got up to leave. However, someone prevented her from doing so.
"Chu Xia, you said you're here to familiarize yourself with the environment beforehand. Could it be that your school is also nearby?" An Mingzhu asked, somewhat surprised.
"What, is there a problem?" Lin Chuxia turned around, her voice revealing neither joy nor displeasure.
"Aside from Jinda, there's only one other third-rate school around here. Could it be that the school that admitted Chuxia is that one?" After saying that, An Mingzhu suddenly covered her mouth, looking shocked.
Having stayed at the An family for over a month, Lin Chuxia had long since figured out An Mingzhu's somewhat hypocritical and pretentious nature. She clearly couldn't stand seeing her doing well, yet she insisted on pretending to be a close sister.
Lin Chuxia felt a little annoyed. Wasn't she tired of always pretending like this?
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now!" After saying this, Lin Chuxia left without saying another word.
Meanwhile, An Mingzhu and the others who remained in the same spot watched her departing figure and continued to discuss it.
"Mingzhu, is that your new adopted little sister? She seems to have no manners at all!"
"Yeah, look what she just ate... a sesame seed cake from a street food stall! I wouldn't even give that to my dog, and she actually ate it. And Mingzhu, look at the tone of her voice when she talked to you just now, it was so rude!"
"By the way, Mingzhu, didn't you say that her grades weren't good enough and you didn't know if she could get into university, and that your parents were always worried about it? Could it be that she also got into Jin University?"
"Hahaha... Impossible! You think Jinda is an ordinary school that you can get into easily?"
"Exactly. Jin University's admission scores are ridiculously high even in our local area, let alone elsewhere. And I heard that Lin Chuxia used to live in a remote mountain village, right? Do you think the education level in a small mountain village would be that high? I bet she got into that lousy university next to Jin University!"
"Huh? Really? Going to that university is worse than not going at all! I've heard that the relationships between men and women at that school are very messy. A lot of the students there are nouveau riche kids who can't get into university, so they just pay money to get a diploma and coast through life. There are often shameless girls who come to our Jinda University to pick up men."
"Mingzhu, so your sister is really terrible! She's completely incomparable to you. I don't know what your parents were thinking, bringing such a good-for-nothing home. Aren't they ashamed?"
"Alright, all of you, stop arguing." Seeing that everyone had argued enough, An Mingzhu spoke up to stop them, "No matter how bad Chu Xia is, she is still my sister. Don't talk about her like that."
"So, does that mean she really can only go to that lousy university near Jinzhou University?" a girl asked with great interest.
An Mingzhu bit her lip and hesitated, "Actually... I don't know which school Chu Xia is going to. It seems she only received her acceptance letter in the last two days, and when my parents and I asked her, she wouldn't tell us..."
"Then there's no need to guess at all! It must be that diploma mill! By the way, Senior Brother Shanwen, I heard that the An family patriarch is thinking of arranging a marriage between you and Lin Chuxia in place of Mingzhu!"
Chu Shanwen frowned as he recalled how Lin Chuxia had swallowed most of a sesame seed cake in one gulp.
"The marriage agreement between the Chu and An families was just a joke made by the elders of both families when we were young, and it doesn't count." Even if he didn't have someone in his heart, he wouldn't marry someone like Lin Chuxia.
"Mingzhu, I don't know what your grandfather was thinking. He spoils a good-for-nothing like a treasure, while neglecting you, his precious one. He'll regret it later. By the way, Siya, don't you usually love posting on Weibo and writing articles? These are the perfect materials!"
The girl's eyes lit up when she was mentioned, "That's right, I can write these down and post them online..."
Lin Chuxia, who had already left, had no idea that after she left, An Mingzhu and others had imagined so much and even slandered her online.
She didn't find out about all this until the afternoon, and it was only because of Grandpa An.
"Little Xia, don't be sad. Those people are just talking nonsense, let's ignore them!" Grandpa An said angrily on the other end of the phone.
Actually, it was purely coincidental that Grandpa An learned about Lin Chuxia being criticized online. It was because the grandson of one of his chess friends happened to come home, and during their casual conversation, they mentioned Lin Chuxia, and then that grandson happened to see the Weibo post.
Upon learning that someone was insulting his granddaughter online, Grandpa An was furious and worried that Lin Chuxia would be affected, so he immediately called her.
"Grandpa, I'm not sad." While Grandpa An was speaking, Lin Chuxia had already figured out the whole story.
Someone published an article comparing her to An Mingzhu, praising An Mingzhu to the skies while completely condemning her, saying she was ignorant, vulgar, short-tempered, domineering, and even smug about getting into a mediocre university and ignoring her family's well-intentioned advice...
Lin Chuxia: "..." Is this article really about her?
Because An Mingzhu is somewhat famous online, this article was quickly forwarded and soon became a trending topic.
The comments below were almost all angry rebukes directed at Lin Chuxia.
One comment in particular was quite unusual: "Good at nothing but looks!"
This comment stood out among the many angry and cursing comments about Lin Chuxia, and was pushed to the top spot. Then, the comments below gradually went astray.
A bunch of comments praising her looks appeared below, but without exception, they were all met with fierce criticism from haters.
Lin Chuxia quickly scanned the comments and realized that someone was controlling the narrative and hiring online trolls to manipulate the speech.
Someone is trying to get her!
