Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1695: Chapter 1695: Born in the Shadows (9)

”I, Lu Qian, hereby make a deep reflection on defaming Lu Chuzheng. The matters on the forum post are purely fictitious and fabricated by me...”

In front of the bulletin board, a student was reading aloud the confession posted there.

They saw this confession as soon as they arrived today.

”Who’s Lu Qian?”

There are over two thousand students in the school, and Lu Qian is a new transfer student, so it’s normal not to know her.

”I told you Senior Lu isn’t that kind of person.”

”They both have the surname Lu.”

”Could they be relatives?”

”Wouldn’t it be disgusting if they were relatives? Slandering Senior Lu like that.”

People whispered, discussing what the relationship between Lu Qian and Chuzheng was.

Bai Dongai also heard about this as soon as he entered the school, and he pulled Chuzheng and asked when she arrived, ”Is it another one of your family’s bizarre antics?”

Chuzheng casually stuffed her backpack into the desk, ”Yeah.”

”How did you figure it out?”

”...”

Does this even need figuring out?

”How did she end up studying at this school?” Bai Dongai was puzzled, not knowing before that Lu Qian was also here, ”Does she want to mess with you up close?”

Chuzheng nodded solemnly, ”It’s possible.”

Bai Dongai: ”...”

Chuzheng swiftly settled the matter; the forum post had been deleted and the person who posted it had apologized in a new post.

Now, those who didn’t know Lu Qian in the school probably all know her.

Chuzheng thought that since she made Lu Qian famous for free, she ought to thank her.

But Lu Qian wouldn’t thank Chuzheng; she wished she could bury Chuzheng in a crack in the ground.

How do the students at school see her now?

Lu Qian’s two new friends didn’t cut ties with her; instead, they comforted her.

Lu Qian described herself as a victim, forced to apologize because of Chuzheng’s threats.

”How could she use violence!” Student A said angrily, ”We must tell the teachers about this.”

”Right.” Student B agreed.

Lu Qian hesitated, ”Will the teachers believe it?”

Student A confidently said, ”Didn’t you say that some of our classmates saw it too? They’re all witnesses, so you have reason on your side.”

Lu Qian: ”...”

Only Lu Qian knew she didn’t have reason on her side.

But encouraged by Student A and her classmates, Lu Qian still went to report it to the teachers.

-

During break exercises, Chuzheng was called to the office to ask whether she had used violence against a classmate.

Chuzheng seriously denied it.

Lu Qian was called in to confront her.

Because Lu Qian claimed there were witnesses, the teachers from both classes called in the witnesses.

However, Lu Qian didn’t expect that all these witnesses would deny ever seeing Chuzheng.

Lu Qian: ”...”

Chuzheng looked at her with indifferent eyes; to Lu Qian, her expression was arrogant and provocative.

Old Tan said with a stern face, ”Lu Qian, there are no marks on you, and no one saw Lu Chuzheng looking for you. Lying is not a good behavior.”

Lu Qian’s homeroom teacher, Teacher Ding, frowned and asked, ”Lu Qian, do you have anything to add?”

Like Bai Dongai, Lu Chuzheng was a student that the school focused on nurturing, and this sudden incident left Teacher Ding with mixed feelings.

Lu Qian pinched her fingers, lowering her head in silence.

What could she add?

Those classmates didn’t help her prove that Chuzheng came to find her, nor did she have any injuries...

”I do.”

Chuzheng suddenly spoke up, causing Lu Qian’s heart to skip a beat as she looked up at the person opposite her.

Facing Lu Qian’s gaze, Chuzheng parted her lips lightly, ”Lu Qian fabricated non-existent things to defame my reputation. I hope the school can handle this matter fairly.”

Lu Qian: ”...”

-

After leaving the office, Lu Qian chased after her.

”I’ve already apologized to you; why did you still report it to the school!!” Lu Qian blocked Chuzheng and questioned her, ”Now I’ve been disciplined, are you satisfied?”

”...No, what’s wrong with you, little classmate! Get your cause and effect straight, okay!! Was it me who pressed your head and made you slander me?”

Lu Qian: ”...”

Chuzheng walked past Lu Qian and left.

Lu Qian’s face turned red from anger while she glared venomously at Chuzheng’s departing back.

By noon, Lu Qian’s disciplinary notice was broadcasted throughout the school and used as a negative example to remind all students not to engage in such petty acts, and that serious study is the right path.

Bai Dongai clicked his tongue twice and raised his thumb at Chuzheng.

”This is how such people should be dealt with. The more you give in to her, the more she takes advantage of it.” Bai Dongai seemed quite insightful.

The original owner used to complain about this kind of incident to Bai Dongai, but because of her pushover parents, the original owner could only swallow her grievances every time.

Things are different now.

She is no longer the original Lu Chuzheng.

She is Niugulusi·Chuzheng.

[Hidden task: Please obtain a Sang Yu Good Person Card and prevent Sang Yu from becoming dark.]

Chuzheng: ”...”

Sure enough, one should not be too proud as a person.

When you get proud, the bastard comes.

It just can’t bear to see you doing well! Can’t bear to see you doing well!

Chuzheng felt that the bastard King must be a menopausal System.

[...] Miss, you can’t just attack the system like that! It’s still a young and handsome system, okay!

-

Which idiot is Sang Yu? I’ve never even heard of him.

[...]

Would you dare to ask this in front of your Good Person Card?

Chuzheng laughed: Of course...not. I’m not stupid.

[...]

King’s Account nearly experienced myocardial infarction; what kind of perverse young lady is this, couldn’t she learn from the lady next door who she lost contact with?

Sang Yu.

A freelance photographer who has won numerous awards and is well-regarded by many big names in the industry.

Unfortunately, during a major competition one year, he was suddenly accused of plagiarism, followed by various strange allegations.

Someone even pointed out on social media that Sang Yu was not regular when taking photos, among other things.

That industry is so small that the issue quickly spread, damaging Sang Yu’s credibility and leading to a miserable living situation.

At that time, Sang Yu was still considered normal.

Until Sang Yu inadvertently found out who was behind scheming against him, that’s when he turned dark.

Chuzheng stood on the corridor outside the classroom, looking down.

The King’s Account suddenly issued a mission, suggesting that the Good Person Card must be nearby.

”What are you looking at?” Bai Dongai waved his hand in front of Chuzheng, ”Want some bubble tea? It’s on me.”

”No thanks.” Chuzheng pushed his hand away.

Bai Dongai was surprised, ”You’re not even drinking bubble tea?”

Chuzheng: ”Gaining weight.” Why drink, what’s so great about it!

Bai Dongai: ”With your skinny little body, gaining a bit of weight is no big deal.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

What’s wrong with her body?!

What’s wrong!

Isn’t it perfectly fine?

Chuzheng couldn’t be bothered dealing with Bai Dongai; she couldn’t possibly grab his shoulders and boast about her figure, could she? She still had her pride.

She continued searching below, but unfortunately, only students were around, nobody matching the Good Person Card.

Ding-a-ling——

The class bell rang.

Bai Dongai called out to her, ”Class is starting.”

Chuzheng withdrew her gaze and walked into the classroom.
