Chapter 517: 121: School Anniversary_1

Disgrace Lin Wu at the school celebration?

Upon hearing the System’s response, Zhang Xianxian narrowed her eyes, "So, as long as she’s made a fool of herself, that’s enough?"

[Yes,] the System continued, [Just let Lin Wu be disgraced once, and a portion of her good fortune will transfer to you. In other words, if you make Lin Wu look foolish once, your fortune will increase by that much.]

"Understood."

After communicating with the System, Zhang Xianxian looked at Qiao Ran and continued, "Qiao Ran brother, are you sure Sister Lin Wu is also attending the school celebration and playing the piano?"

"Yes," Qiao Ran nodded his head, "The class monitor said so."

Zhang Xianxian’s expression remained unchanged, and she said in a gentle tone, "I had no idea Sister Lin Wu could play the piano. What a surprise!"

Indeed, a surprise!

After all, Lin Wu is just a country village girl.

How could there possibly be a piano in a place like Lin City Town!

Zhang Xianxian’s words carried deep meaning.

Under normal circumstances, Qiao Ran would certainly have belittled Lin Wu because of Zhang Xianxian’s comments.

But not now.

Because he knew.

Lin Wu was much more than she seemed on the surface.

She was like the pitch-dark night, before dawn arrives, no one knows how many unknown surprises she conceals.

Like Lin Wu’s skills.

Or Lin Wu’s academic performance.

Qiao Ran had always thought Lin Wu was cheating until, during the last monthly test, he was placed in the same examination room as her.

Lin Wu showed no signs of cheating from beginning to end...

And it was since that time that Qiao Ran gradually realized that he never truly knew Lin Wu.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ran continued, "Actually, Lin Wu is not as bad as I imagined. I misunderstood her before."

Zhang Xianxian thought she was hallucinating.

She couldn’t believe these words were actually said by Qiao Ran.

If she remembered correctly, wasn’t Qiao Ran the one who disliked Lin Wu the most before?

How did such a huge change occur all of a sudden?

Could it also be because of the sudden good fortune that befell Lin Wu?

Damn it!

Where the hell did Lin Wu snatch that good fortune from?

Though extremely angry, Zhang Xianxian still tried hard to maintain her smile, not letting Qiao Ran see her inner turmoil, "Qiao Ran brother, I’m so happy you think that way! I told you before, Sister Lin Wu isn’t that kind of person, you just didn’t believe me!"

Speaking of the past, Qiao Ran’s face was full of guilt, and he lowered his head, "I won’t be like that anymore."

Yes.

He would never be like that again.

Zhang Xianxian bit her lip, filled with resentment.

Shortly after, Zhang Xianxian continued, "By the way, Qiao Ran brother, can I know what changed your mind about Sister Lin Wu?"

At these words, Qiao Ran was taken aback for a moment, then said, "A lot has happened recently, which allowed me to see a different Lin Wu, just like you said, she is actually a very outstanding person. Before, I judged her by my own standards, thinking because of her background, her character was no good. Actually, who can choose their own birth? I shouldn’t have blamed everything on her, that was my fault..."

Everyone said she was an illegitimate daughter.

But in fact, Lin Wu is indeed older than Zhang Xianxian.

These days, Qiao Ran had been reflecting on himself; he was too one-sided.

Moreover, Qiao Ran had already sent people to investigate the matter of that year, whether Lin Wu was truly an illegitimate child is still up for debate!

Zhang Xianxian’s heart was a mix of emotions. You see, before this, Qiao Ran had always been her lapdog.

But now.

Not only had Qiao Ran stopped fawning over her, but he had also started to have feelings for that village girl who came from the countryside!

Qiao Ran liked her because she was excellent; she had the assets to be liked by Qiao Ran.

But what about that illegitimate daughter?

Her grades were from cheating.

Her good fortune was stolen.

How could an illegitimate girl compare with her?

How could Zhang Xianxian accept this?

Zhang Xianxian worked hard to calm herself down, and in a gentle tone said, "Qiao Ran brother, don’t say that, to err is human. Although you misunderstood Sister Lin Wu before, I believe that Sister Lin Wu is magnanimous, and she surely won’t hold it against you."

Qiao Ran didn’t speak, simply sighing softly.

Zhang Xianxian then said, "Are you feeling upset?"

Qiao Ran shook his head, "No."

"Don’t lie to me," Zhang Xianxian sighed, "We’ve grown up together since we were kids, I can tell at a glance if you’re feeling down. Here, I’ll play the piano for you to listen!"

"Okay." Qiao Ran nodded his head.

Zhang Xianxian continued to play the piano.

The melodious sound of the piano soon filled the entire lecture classroom, and Qiao Ran’s mood began to relax.
