In the dormitory, Su Wenxue sent several messages to Xia Zhixu, but no one replied for a long time.
The next second, Jiang Ning looked at her phone, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Wow, Sister Miao, that person who slandered you posted on Weibo again, saying that everything was fake, that she made up the content out of jealousy! She even apologized to you sincerely, and the Weibo post that spread rumors about you has been deleted."
Shi Miao was leaning against the table, her dark eyelashes slightly lowered, replying to a bunch of messages on her phone. There was no surprise on her face, as if she had known this would happen all along. She responded softly, "Mm."
Seeing this, Jiang Ning finally felt relieved. She scrolled through the comments section and muttered, "I just don't know why this little hater suddenly changed his tune."
Upon hearing this, Su Wenxue, who had her back to him, changed her expression drastically, her eyes filled with astonishment and panic.
She quickly opened Weibo again, not understanding why such a dramatic change had occurred on Weibo in less than an hour.
She was extremely flustered, fearing that Xia Zhixu would also implicate her.
After carefully reading Xia Zhixu's latest Weibo post, Su Wenxue's tense body gradually relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief. However, she still had no idea what was going on with Xia Zhixu.
Su Wenxue thought for a moment, then her fingers flew across the phone screen as she sent Xia Zhixu a concerned message: "Zhixu, what happened? I'm so worried about you. Please reply as soon as you see this, and we'll figure something out together!"
Jiang Ning noticed that Su Wenxue had been sitting there without saying a word for a long time, and felt a little strange. She looked up at her and asked, "Wenxue, have you checked Weibo?"
"Ah!" Su Wenxue was still engrossed in sending messages to Xia Zhixu when she was startled by Jiang Ning's sudden voice. She broke out in a cold sweat and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly, sensing that Su Wenxue's attitude was strange. She looked at her with a probing gaze, "What's wrong? What did you see?"
Su Wenxue swallowed hard, pinched her hands to force herself to calm down, turned around, and glanced at Shi Miao who was playing with her phone across from her. She said softly, "It's nothing. I just saw a pretty scary picture on Weibo and it gave me a fright."
Hearing this, Jiang Ning became curious and stood up to walk towards her. "What picture is it? Let me see it."
Su Wenxue's expression stiffened slightly. The screen of her phone on the table behind her was still lit up, and the interface was still on her WeChat chat with Xia Zhixu.
She quickly stood up and blocked the table, offering a somewhat forced explanation: "I was so scared that I quit Weibo, and now I can't find it."
Jiang Ning pursed her lips, but didn't think much of it, and sat back down in her chair. "Okay."
Su Wenxue smiled, turned around and sat down, picked up her phone and deleted all her chat history with Xia Zhixu.
...
At the same time, the entire Xia family seemed to be shrouded in shadow.
Old Master Xia couldn't get in touch with Ji Yanchen, and he was begging and pleading with everyone he could to contact others, but no one dared to step forward and plead for the Xia family.
He leaned back on the sofa, rubbing his temples, his eyes and brows revealing an undeniable weariness, a clear indication of the coldness and indifference of the world.
Xia Zhixu, sitting to the side, kept his head down, not daring to breathe, his white fingertips digging fiercely into his palm, his eyes revealing a sinister look.
Even now that she's calmed down, she still doesn't want to believe that the person backing Shi Miao up is really Ji Yanchen, meaning that Ji Yanchen is the off-campus boyfriend Shi Miao mentioned.
"Dad, why don't we go and beg Shi Miao..." Xia's father suddenly suggested.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Xia paused in his actions, his eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Zhixu, you come with me to the school later to apologize to Shi Miao in person and try to get her forgiveness so that Ji Yanchen will be lenient and let the Xia family off the hook."
"Grandpa! I've already apologized and clarified things online, why do I still need to beg her?" Xia Zhixu stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with resentment and anger, and turned her head away. "I'm not going!"
She really couldn't understand what kind of spell Shi Miao had cast on Ji Yanchen. Her Weibo posts hadn't caused any harm to Shi Miao, yet Ji Yanchen was so ruthless as to go to such lengths.
Old Master Xia's temples throbbed, and the anger he had just suppressed surged up again. He pointed at her and said sternly, "Xia Zhixu, you better understand the situation. You are the culprit who caused all of this! If you don't go, you can expect the Xia family to be ruined and your whole family to starve!"
Mr. Xia frowned, his sharp gaze falling on her as he reprimanded, "Zhixu, do you know how serious this situation is? Can you stop being so willful? This isn't for yourself, it's for the Xia family!"
Xia Zhixu's throat tightened, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something more, but for some reason she couldn't make a sound.
It took him a long time to find his voice. He closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go."
...
Grandpa Xia specially prepared a bunch of valuable items, and then instructed the driver to drive directly to Tsinghua University.
Inside the car, Xia Zhixu leaned back absentmindedly in her seat, took out her phone from her bag, and opened WeChat.
As soon as she opened the app, she saw more than a dozen messages from Su Wenxue, but she wasn't really in the mood to read them. She casually scrolled through a few and then turned off her phone.
I turned my head to look at the scenery rushing past outside the window.
Suddenly, her eyes flickered, and a bold guess slowly surfaced in her mind.
Could it be that all of this was planned by Shi Miao and Su Wenxue to lure me into a trap?
The more Xia Zhixu thought about it, the more convinced she became. She felt that in addition to her blood freezing cold, she also felt like she had a breath stuck in her chest and abdomen, which she couldn't swallow or spit out. It was pressing against her throat, and she felt like a ring of blisters was about to form in her throat.
Her grip on the phone tightened, and a fierce glint suddenly flashed in her eyes.
I never imagined that I would be completely manipulated by these two bastards!
She could do nothing to Shi Miao, but she had to make Su Wenxue pay the price!
Having received so many benefits from her, how can you expect to remain unscathed?
Dream on, you bastard!
