After formal classes started, each class formed a QQ group to conveniently share study materials and discuss class affairs.
Blair Chester’s idea was naturally to save face for Mia Ginger.
After all, since the matter had already spread, if it’s left to develop, who knows how it will be gossiped about in the college.
Once Wren King apologizes in the group, basically no one will dare to gossip anymore.
Mia Ginger will save face, and Wren King will also lose hers.
No one likes losing face, especially when it comes with a reputation for spreading rumors.
Wren King was startled for a moment and immediately retorted, "Is this really necessary? Doing this will make the situation worse. What’s the benefit?"
"I think this idea is actually quite good!" Windsor Myres leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and laughed, saying to Mia Ginger, "You’re the class monitor, after all. How can you not have this authority? We need to make a big deal out of this, so those with cheap mouths will think twice about what they say next time."
She always spoke arrogantly and managed to wrap everyone in the dorm into her verbal barrage with one sentence.
Yet no one dared to make a sound.
Mainly because they were in the wrong, speaking up would just lead them to admit it.
Wren King felt embarrassed. After a long pause, seeing Mia Ginger not express any opinions, she reluctantly said, "Okay."
Mia Ginger sat back down.
Everyone in the dorm logged on simultaneously.
Blair Chester @mentioned all members in the group.
"Class Committee, anything going on?"
At a bit past ten in the evening, almost all the students in the class were online, and soon one by one popped up.
Blair Chester said, "Wren King has something to say." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel※fire.net
The group became a bit noisy.
Wren King’s clarification popped up.
"It’s regarding the negative rumors about Mia Ginger, which I spoke carelessly without any basis. It had a very negative impact in the class and tarnished Mia Ginger’s reputation. I’m sorry, I’ve realized my mistake, and I hope everyone forgets this matter."
The group fell silent for a little while.
Roy Anders said, "A woman’s reputation is very important. How can such things be said indiscriminately? But it’s good you came forward to explain, as wise people stop rumors. So let’s not discuss this matter further and live harmoniously."
Roy Anders has a cheerful and outgoing nature, and is very popular among the boys.
The boys expressed their agreement.
"Roy Anders is right."
"Girls tend to gossip more."
"Even if they are jealous of her beauty, they shouldn’t smear her ."
"Which one is Wren King?"
Within a few sentences, the topic quickly went off-track.
The girls squeezed in a few words among them, but many joking remarks quickly drowned them out.
Blair Chester sent a smiley face, "Speaking of which, I also inadvertently mentioned Mia Ginger’s boyfriend being older, so I’ll apologize to the class monitor too. Roy Anders is right; wise people stop rumors, and let’s call it a day on this matter. I’m going to bed early, good night everyone."
The group went silent again for a few seconds.
Mia Ginger looked at Blair Chester on the opposite bed from the mirror.
She was leaning against the wall, looking down at her phone, not yet lying down to sleep.
Mia Ginger smirked a bit and spoke up, "My boyfriend is eight years older than me, someone I’ve known since childhood. Anyone want to see a photo?"
That sentence was like a grenade thrown out.
The QQ group suddenly exploded.
Boys and girls started shouting all at once.
Many words like "post the photo," "requesting the picture," "want to see," "waiting," "class monitor, hurry up" quickly jumped out.
