Chapter 280: Chapter 279: No One Would Oppose an Entire Clan for Her
Shouhao also took the opportunity to look back and asked, “Mian, what did the principal want to talk to you about? Is it still about that Bai Fangfei thing?”
“They’re all trivial matters, no need to take it to heart,” Lu Mian flipped through the pages of his book with a fingertip, speaking lightly, “After all, I’m not the one who’s got a headache.”
Principal Zhang: Who’s summoning me?
Yuan Hao and Guo Zihao saw her nonchalant appearance, and they started to feel a headache coming on too.
Right towards the front, Su Luo also looked back, not only feeling a headache but also a bit of a canker sore!
After class, Bai Fangfei came to ask Lu Mian for his Weibo account. Her idea was simple. Lu Mian couldn’t confront the Bai Family, and in the end, he would have to obediently come forward to clarify the facts and publicly apologize.
As long as Lu Mian cooperated, the Bai Family wouldn’t press the matter, and both parties would be happy. This was the best way to handle it.
If Lu Mian didn’t know what was good for him, then his disaster had only just begun…
“Lu Mian, the wise adapt to circumstances. I advise you to be smart,” she said.
Lu Mian, too lazy to bother with her, was busy reading his novel. Annoyed, he finally responded, “To tell you the truth, I don’t really want to make a big fuss about this.” Bai Fangfei laughed, “That’s great then, we’ll be waiting for your Weibo post.”
To her, Lu Mian’s concession was a victory, a way to regain the lost face.
“…” Finally, Lu Mian put down the novel and glanced at her, his clear eyes seeing through everything, “Class president, can you go back and inform your family of the truth first?”
“You…” Bai Fangfei, exposed, was caught in the throat, angrily said, “No matter what, my family will definitely stand by my side! You just wait and see!”
Lu Mian gave a slight smile, “OK.”
Whether or not Bai Fangfei confessed to her family, no one knew, but the next day, Lu Mian’s name, tied up with Ya Qing, suddenly shot into the top ten trending topics on Weibo.
Lu Mian was far from a celebrity, so appearing on such a trending list was unusual. Anyone who had been on Weibo for a few years understood that there must be some manipulation in the background. The content of the trending topic was several screenshots of a conversation.
“Gossip Sis, I’ve got a scoop. Ya Qing posted on Weibo before that he had given away all twenty signed books, but in truth, they were all given to a person named Lu Mian. This isn’t much, but the key point is that Lu Mian is a fraudster who got the signed books by blackening the Bai Group’s name. Have some sympathy for the Bai Family; because of a few words from Lu Mian, they lost a partnership for no reason… Calling out to Ya Qing, see this person’s true face!”]
Because it involved the popular author Ya Qing and Bai Group, combined with someone fanning the flames, Lu Mian’s name also began to trend. The comments below were a unified chorus of onlookers, criticizing.
“How big of a grudge is this, to go to such lengths? Bai gets the pot thrown at them while sitting at home.”]
“Snatched away our Ya Qing, we’re not meeting up.”]
“Does anyone know which school this Lu Mian is actually from?”]
Sheng Zijin was hosting a banquet for her grandfather’s old friends at Wangjiang Tower today.
She arrived a step early and was currently waiting for the guests. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the private room, she casually browsed through her phone.
“Lu Mian?” She opened the trending Weibo post, read it, and then indifferently said to Lu Xi behind her, “Lu Xi, go check out Weibo.”
Lu Xi, puzzled, nevertheless took out his phone as suggested. After reading it, his face grew stern.
“The Bai Family is this ruthless?!” Clenching his phone, he was quite heated. Thinking of the Wucheng tycoons congregating at noon that day, he looked up at Sheng Zijin, “Zijin, with so many elders around at noon today, and with the Bai Family present, could you let me…”
He wanted to personally clear things up with the Bai Family. Sheng Zijin looked away, gazing at the scenery outside, her voice clear and penetrating.
“Lu Xi, your sister has stirred up quite a storm. You should realize that no one will oppose another family just to defend her. That’s reality, you have to accept it.”
