Shen Qiuyu stood up abruptly and retorted, "Pah, stop flattering yourself. Sister Jing is miles ahead of that Yi in both temperament and looks!"
Even though the person was right in front of her, she still spoke sarcastically about a certain Yi. In a fit of anger, Zhang Man forgot about the difference in their status and resentfully complained, "Shen Qiuyu, you just rely on your power and money, and that no one dares to disobey you, so you force others to vote. If you're so capable, try not to control the vote."
Shen Qiuyu, who was never afraid of anyone, continued to retort: "You talk as if the Cheng family has no money or power. If you're so capable, why don't you control the votes? You want to get first place without spending any money or effort, and you still have the nerve to talk nonsense."
Zhang Man laughed in exasperation: "The school beauty pageant is based on looks."
“Yeah, it’s all about looks.” Shen Qiuyu said coolly, “Jing’s looks impressed me, so I was willing to vote for her. It’s because she’s not pretty enough that no one else is going to help her. To put it bluntly, she’s not pretty or charming enough. Even if she became the school beauty, I wouldn’t dare to show her off. I’m afraid people will misunderstand that Yin Gao only produces pretty faces.”
Even the composed He Jing couldn't help but break down at this moment, bursting into laughter.
Shen Qiuyu's mouth is too sharp. No wonder she plays a villainous supporting character like her. You really can't do without some fighting power.
Cheng Yi's face had clearly turned a deep purplish-red, and she was barely able to maintain her elegance. Zhang Man, unable to argue with Shen Qiuyu, pulled Cheng Yi aside and said, "It's a backroom deal. We're not going to be the school beauty anymore. Let whoever wants to be it take it."
Cheng Yi was tugged, but didn't move, her fist clenched tightly to one side.
She couldn't bear not being the school beauty.
Yesterday, she was questioned by He Ning and had already lost to He Jing. She had to get her revenge.
She didn't believe that He Jing was always so lucky and could always outshine her. She didn't want to hear Cheng Yue sigh at the dinner table and talk about He Jing's outstanding past. She wanted to surpass He Jing and become someone that everyone looked up to.
She's the real heiress!
"Xiaoyi..." As if knowing what she was thinking, her other best friend Liu Sisi called her softly, "The Cheng family is no less powerful than the Shen family, why don't we also control the votes?"
It's just a matter of spending some money and bribing some people; the votes will eventually go up.
Cheng Yi bit her lip, remaining silent for a long time.
It wasn't until Liu Sisi said, "It's not that you're breaking the rules, it's that they're being despicable. We were just acting in self-defense."
Cheng Yi hesitated for a moment before nodding.
The three of them stopped arguing with Shen Qiuyu, returned to their seats, and began to discuss buying tickets.
Shen Qiuyu has already bought up all the school's votes, so there's not much left to fight for. It's better to buy votes from people from other schools. Anyway, the school beauty pageant is an open event, so it's normal for other schools to join in.
He Jing didn't care what Cheng Yi was planning next. She handed a glass of water to Shen Qiuyu, saying that she must be thirsty after speaking up for her. Shen Qiuyu still felt it was a pity and advised, "Sister Jing, why don't you participate? Look at how arrogant Cheng Yi is. Do you want her to outshine you? You are clearly the prettiest."
Wu Yu chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Sister Jing, it's no fun if you don't participate in the school beauty pageant."
He Jing smiled without saying a word. The female lead's appearance always conforms to the public's aesthetic. If it weren't for Shen Qiuyu's strong campaign, there would be very few people voting for her, and she really felt that there was no need to regret it.
But the school heartthrob...
He Jing suddenly remembered: "Was Yan Hanxi the school heartthrob before? Why haven't I seen any music videos he filmed with other people?"
Shen Qiuyu thought He Jing had feelings for Yan Hanxi but was just saying it, so she quickly replied, "Brother Xi has always been the school heartthrob, but he doesn't want to film, and no one in the school dares to ask him. The male lead in the music video is automatically replaced."
He Jing said "Oh—" and understood. According to the rules of novels, the male lead's first time is reserved for the female lead. Presumably, after Cheng Yi becomes the school beauty, Yan Hanxi will film a music video with her.
She was getting impatient with how slowly the romantic relationship was developing.
