Chapter 2254 - 1267:
Luo Youyou felt wronged when she was bullied on campus, but even though she didn’t seek revenge, she found a way to punish the perpetrator in her own way.
In the university, rumors were spread about Ye Qingning, influenced by someone with ill intentions, though she only got to see Mo Jingyan during classes; if any girl dared to look at Mo Jingyan even a moment too long, she would bully them.
A group of lackeys around her—both male and female—helped her with certain tasks.
Anyone who so much as glanced at Mo Jingyan with admiration, or showed interest in confessing through love letters, would become her silent target of bullying.
Mo Jingyan originally was the youngest university professor, and despite his uncertain tenure, his youthful and handsome presence still made him no less captivating than the young students.
From the very beginning, he exuded an air of nobility, and recently, his aura became more ethereal. The males on campus felt they couldn’t match up to this elegant presence.
–After all, not everyone can have such a handsome, wealthy, and noble teacher, right?
Some students were from different departments or classes, given that Mo Jingyan taught freshman students.
These students were aged between seventeen and twenty.
It’s the age of youthful innocence. Perhaps during high school, they were too restricted, but now in college, they’re free to date.
Even those high school crushes that were stifled can blossom into innocent romances.
While studying across different places or dropping out, they separated or didn’t. Upon arriving in new environments, those who loved across distances often gradually forgot those past feelings and started anew.
Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu received orders from someone behind the scenes. Even though they occasionally landed some advertisements or variety shows, it wasn’t much.
On campus, they were Ye Qingning’s sidekicks, aiding in acts of bullying and such.
To avoid leaving any evidence, they always did these deeds in the blind spots of surveillance cameras.
Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu knew they were public figures, fearing exposure would ruin their finances.
After all, it wasn’t just that someone from behind provided them resources. Ye Qingning paid those who did work for her – buying them things or treating them to meals, generously at that.
Even so, Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu thought that if they could secure a long-term meal ticket through Ye Qingning, they’d no longer need to hustle aimlessly like floating duckweed.
The allure of money compelled them to take certain actions.
Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu, having spent months transitioning from small towns to the bustling big city, from school to workplaces, gained varied experiences.
The scent of money made them forget their consciences long ago.
To earn tuition and living expenses, they needed more money, as merely renting wasn’t enough. Now, they sought opportunities to gain fame besides covering school fees and living costs.
They didn’t want to return to small towns, seeing others living in big houses and small villas.
Grand villas and estates and the like.
They worked for months, using income beyond living expenses to buy branded bags, clothes, and shoes for appearances.
Yet little money was saved; they completed tasks given by someone behind the scenes, framing Luo Youyou.
They also wanted to uncover Luo Youyou’s secrets.
Luo Youyou was too cunning; chatting with her during classes was impossible, and when trying, too many classmates watched.
Even secretive conversations turned public.
Ye Qingning orchestrated many schemes, forming a clique in class.
However, even this small group couldn’t shake Luo Youyou.
Luo Youyou was an ethereal figure in some boys’ eyes.
But they could only watch her from afar.
Some came from wealthy families, though not as wealthy as Ye Qingning, but certainly not lackeys like Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu.
They wouldn’t join their ranks. Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu acted subtly, inciting Ye Qingning’s intensified dislike for Luo Youyou through whispers.
When Ye Qingning bullied other girls, they’d just observe, perhaps using words or glances, never taking direct action.
This was their cleverness, knowing they were already small celebrities, not hugely popular but still public figures on campus.
Luo Youyou merely silenced or incapacitated such flies with minor retributions, making sure no one suspected her role.
That afternoon, Luo Youyou received a message from Mo Jingyan.
This time, they had a secret mission, and also an appearance on a variety show.
Arranging to meet Luo Youyou was to sign the show contract together.
There was a special task.
During Luo Youyou’s first variety show, it was Third Brother who signed for her; this time, she signed herself.
If not for a special task, they wouldn’t have appeared on the show.
After all, they represented themselves.
Appearing on shows would make them public figures.
Luo Youyou had been on shows before, gaining notoriety online.
But the last two months, she had been keeping to herself, refusing ads or acting offers, choosing not to join any company as a star.
