Chapter 597: As Long as It Makes Her Unhappy

Gu Shuxin returned, fuming. She had been about to vent, but instead, Cao Yuqing confronted her with a question.

All this time, Cao Yuqing had never dared to speak to her like this! ’It must be because of what happened today. Because of today, even their attitudes toward me have changed!’

’It’s all because of what happened today. It’s all because of Shen Nian!’

"Heh, what’s this? You realize I have no more value, so you immediately change your tune? Could you be any more two-faced!"

Gu Shuxin had nothing left to lose at this point. With so many people there today, what had happened earlier had probably already spread throughout the entire school.

And there was nothing she could do to stop it. If it weren’t for the previous rumors, it might have been manageable. But with this added on top, Gu Shuxin could perfectly imagine how relentlessly the student body would mock her.

After all, she had always been well aware of the power of rumors.

"Two-faced? Gu Shuxin, who’s the real two-faced one here! You’ve been lying to us this whole time. What, now that your true colors are showing, you can’t keep up the act anymore, can you?"

Cao Yuqing wasn’t afraid of Gu Shuxin anymore. Without the Gu family as her backer, Gu Shuxin was nothing—not even her equal!

"I lied to you? Cao Yuqing, don’t forget, I never asked for anything. You’re the ones who desperately flattered me because you wanted to use me to get in with the Gu family. How are you any different from me?"

"Yes, we did have that in mind, so what? At least we didn’t harm anyone! Gu Shuxin, I finally understand why Chu Lingxiu wanted to switch dorms. It’s because sharing a room with you is truly disgusting! Compared to you, the young lady of the Chu Family is worlds better! No, I should say, even the people around the young lady of the Chu Family are leagues better than you!"

"Yuqing, that’s enough."

Although Jiang Jiajia was furious on the inside as well, they still had to live in the same dorm. If things got too ugly, it wouldn’t reflect well on any of them.

However, Cao Yuqing paid no mind to Jiang Jiajia’s attempt to placate her. Even though she said no more, she continued to glare stubbornly at Gu Shuxin.

Cao Yuqing’s words made Gu Shuxin’s expression turn ugly.

Gu Shuxin had, of course, considered why Chu Lingxiu’s attitude toward her had suddenly changed. She just had never been willing to admit it, always hoping she could somehow win Chu Lingxiu back.

But Cao Yuqing’s words had just ripped away her last fig leaf, making it impossible for Gu Shuxin to deceive herself any longer.

However, Gu Shuxin knew she couldn’t blame Chu Lingxiu, so in her heart, she directed all her resentment toward Shen Nian.

’Shen Nian must have said something to Chu Lingxiu. Otherwise, Lingxiu wouldn’t have been so ruthless to me. Shen Nian must have been scheming behind the scenes to get Chu Lingxiu to switch dorms. And after Lingxiu moved into her dorm, Shen Nian definitely didn’t hold back from bad-mouthing me to her.’

’She must have!’

Gu Shuxin adamantly blamed everything on Shen Nian, never once considering that Shen Nian had never even mentioned her to Chu Lingxiu.

"Why should I hold back? I’m not the one in the wrong! Someone else should be worried about how she’s going to last at this school from now on! Campus belle? More like campus joke, if you ask me! There should only be one true campus belle in our freshman class!"

Cao Yuqing wasn’t a big fan of Shen Nian either, but if it meant making Gu Shuxin miserable, she didn’t mind saying a few nice things about her.
