Before Liu Sisi could say anything more, Zhang Man had a sudden inspiration and came up with an even more insidious plan, adding: "We can first stir up a few posts on the forum about the real and fake heiresses to warm things up, and then drag He Jing into it on Monday. That way, everyone will be convinced from the start that Xiaoyi is innocent, and no matter how powerful He Jing is, she can't overcome the power of human nature."
The plan has been fully formulated, and Cheng Yi could not be more satisfied.
But she couldn't just nod directly, because that wouldn't fit the persona she had just established. So she feigned hesitation and said, "But, wouldn't that be inappropriate? After all, He Jing is innocent..."
Zhang Manyi said indignantly, "Xiaoyi, you're just too kind, that's why He Jing takes advantage of you. Don't you think about yourself? You should also think about your parents. They're being deceived by He Jing and don't care about you. Don't you want to win the title of school beauty so they'll look at you with new respect and scold you?"
Cheng Yi said in a muffled voice, "I want to."
Liu Sisi also said, "Xiaoyi, you're not being malicious, you're acting in self-defense. If He Jing hadn't pushed you to this point, you wouldn't have done this. It's all He Jing's fault."
Cheng Yi thought about it carefully before cautiously nodding: "Then we'll only do it this once, and we can never do such a thing again..."
Zhang Man nodded repeatedly: "Xiaoyi, don't worry, no matter what happens, we will be with you. If this plan fails again, I will take full responsibility. Anyway, I am not ordinary or likable, and you are the only one in this school who is truly kind to me."
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Manman, don't say that. You're a good person and will always be my friend."
The three of them hugged each other, deeply moved.
The matter was settled, and the three of them discussed the specific procedures and how to select witnesses. When they came out of the women's restroom together, the school bell had already rung. But unexpectedly, Yan Hanxi also came out of the men's restroom next door, as if she had just washed her hands, with water droplets still dripping from her slender fingers.
Cheng Yi panicked for a moment, afraid that Yan Hanxi had overheard their conversation, and weakly called out, "Classmate Yan."
Yan Hanxi looked at her with icy eyes, his face devoid of any extra expression: "What is it?"
Cheng Yi didn't know how to start the conversation, so she shook her head, thinking: If Yan Hanxi heard this, he definitely wouldn't be so calm.
With that thought, she felt relieved and led Liu Sisi and Zhang Man back to the classroom first.
...
He Jing was completely unaware that she was being watched. When she heard Wu Yu gossiping with her about what had happened in the corridor, she was momentarily stunned.
Is there such a passage in the original work?
I don't think so.
In the original storyline, the real heiress becomes a hot commodity among school beauties due to the female lead's halo. The fake heiress fails to buy tickets and then posts on the forum to slander the girl, only to be exposed and slapped in the face. The cannon fodder female supporting characters, Xu Bi and Shen Qiuyu, also take turns to join forces to control and manipulate the votes. In the end, the male lead, Yan Hanxi, steps in to resolve the situation for her.
The process of Zhen Qian becoming the school beauty was smooth sailing, with no minor setbacks. How did Xu Bi manage to make things public, thus putting Cheng Yi in an awkward position?
This plot is really weird.
However, since she didn't participate in the school beauty pageant, these things don't really concern her.
He Jing heard it and forgot about it, not taking it to heart. It wasn't until after school in the afternoon that He Jing, having nothing to do, opened the school forum and glanced at it, and found that the forum's top post had been updated with a hot post, the eye-catching title of which read "818 The Conflicts Between the Real and Fake Heiresses of the Cheng Family: A Peaceful Surface with Undercurrents."
He Jing had a bad feeling. She clicked on the post and saw that someone was talking about her and Cheng Yi from a third-person perspective, revealing many details that never happened between her and Cheng Yi. The content was quite targeted.
