Chapter 173: The Center of Attention

Ke Ran and Bai Weimi ran towards Su Qianxun. They were panting loudly. Su Qianxun put her cell phone back into her bag for the time being.

Ke Ran looked at Su Qianxun and said, “I honestly never expected Su Ran to be such a nasty person. You had always been so nice to her. Why did she try to set you up?”

“Don’t you get it? It’s jealousy. Qianxun is better than her in every way. How can she not be jealous? The only thing I’m surprised by is the extent of her twistedness. I can’t believe that she’s capable of doing something so mean.” Bai Weimi crossed her arms in front of her chest with a look of disdain on her face.

“Yeah. What she did was quite mean. If you didn’t manage to clear your name today, the consequences would have been even worse than the last time.” Ke Ran was horrified by the mere thought of it.

“She must have been the one who posted those photographs of Qianxun. We should stay away from someone like her,” Bei Weimi said bluntly.

To be honest, now that Su Ran had already gotten the punishment she deserved, Su Qianxun did not wish to make any further comments.

“Let’s go to the lecture hall. Our class is starting soon.” Su Qianxun’s expression was very nonchalant.

Ke Ran and Bai Weimi did not expect Su Qianxun to be so calm about this. They exchanged glances and did not say another word about Su Ran.

The three young women ran into the campus belle, Qin Mengge, as they headed to the lecture hall.

Qin Mengge snorted in an exaggerated manner. “What a show, two besties plotting against each other! It really sucks to be Su Ran, having such a heartless bestie!”

“Qin Mengge, are you blind? Su Ran was the one who tried to set Qianxun up. Qianxun was just trying to defend herself!” Ke Ran glared angrily at Qin Mengge.

“Why did Su Ran even try to set her up? They used to be so close. Perhaps she did so because Su Qianxun had wronged her. True, Su Ran was proven guilty this time, but we don’t know which of them started the feud, do we?” Qin Mengge continued sneering at them.

Su Qianxun knew that some people would react this way. Even though the footage just now proved her innocence, considering how close Su Ran and her were back in the day, a lot of people would still be skeptical about the entire incident.

Su Qianxun did not wish to explain things to Qin Mengge. She could only blame herself for her own ignorance and failure to see Su Ran for who she was.

“You!” Ke Ran was absolutely furious. She wanted to lunge forward but Bai Weimi held her back. Bai Weimi smiled and said, “Miss Qin, our campus belle, are you sure that you want to stand next to our friend Qianxun? Aren’t you worried that everyone will compare the two of you and find out the truth?”

The moment Bai Weimi said that, Qin Mengge’s expression changed drastically. “You... What the hell are you talking about?”

“You know very well how you were elected as the campus belle. If I were you, I’d quickly go and get a couple more plastic surgeries. After all, the election for the campus belle is coming up soon. If you have the money to buy votes, why not spend it on your face instead?”

Qin Mengge’s face contorted in anger. She glared at the three of them and quickly stormed off.

When Ke Ran saw how the woman, who acted so arrogantly just now, became extremely shaken merely because of something Bai Weimi said, she was extremely impressed. She held Bai Weimi’s arm. “Well done, Mimi. Way to go, girl!”

“When you run into a snake, hit it where it hurts. We don’t have to waste our breath on someone like her. Just go for her weak spot!” Bai Weimi snorted coldly.

“Let’s go to class.” Su Qianxun smiled.

After class, Su Qianxun asked the driver to take her to Shangri-La hotel. The moment she entered the building, someone ushered her into a banquet hall.

An extravagant banquet was going on Lights from the chandeliers shone brightly on the finely-dressed attendees below. The room bustled with clinking wine glasses and chatter. Such a sight reflected the grandeur of high society.

Su Qianxun was wearing a light wash denim skirt and a pair of comfortable flats. Her casual outfit appeared particularly shabby in the banquet hall. Many people shifted their gazes towards her and started to whisper among themselves with mocking gazes.

Su Qianxun had already spotted Long Sijue in the crowd.. He would always be the center of attention wherever he went, as he could easily outshine the crowd with his luster.
