“So, everyone in the circle knows her?” Fu Hongsheng was shocked.
“They don’t just know.” The man rubbed his nose and hesitated for a few seconds before choosing to tell the truth. He continued, “People slept with her before. I heard that she was easy to date and very open. Therefore, when the circle found out that you were so sincere, everyone was very surprised.”
“This woman has the word ‘vain’ written all over her face. She’ll do anything to get ahead. Only you think she’s innocent.”
Fu Hongsheng covered his face and wiped his tears. Then, he mocked himself,
“You also think that I’m ridiculous, right?”
The man patted his shoulder and sighed. “Which man doesn’t get hurt a few times when it comes to relationships? You should thank Lin Wanli for scraping your bones and healing your injuries in one go. Otherwise, with your personality, who knows how much more you would have been deceived by this woman. She really wasn’t a good person. It was good for you to get out of that relationship as soon as possible.”
Fu Hongsheng thought about everything that happened that night and felt a little dazed. If it wasn’t for his wallet reminding him that he had nothing left, he would really think that this was just a nightmare.
“Maybe I was born unworthy of being liked.”
“Don’t think like that. Let me tell you something else. In fact, when you wanted to join the circle of people, everyone was not very happy. It was your grandmother who went door-to-door to talk and give gifts to eliminate everyone’s contempt for you. Otherwise, how could you get along with everyone so easily in such a realistic place as the wealthy social circle? Think about it. Lin Wanli is even a legitimate daughter of the Lin family. How many years had she been ridiculed?”
“Including me. I played with you back then because of your grandmother. She’s really respected by this circle.”
Fu Hongsheng didn’t know what he was poked at, but he drank the ice water in one gulp and got up from his chair. He said, “Thanks for tonight.”
“You’re penniless now. Where are you going?”
“I need to wake up.”
The man didn’t stop him anymore because he knew that Fu Hongsheng needed to experience setbacks to grow.
Early in the morning, Diheng Building.
In the underground room, where there was no light, Lu Xunyan was only left with the will to survive. So, when he saw Huo Jiuxiao appear at the entrance of the basement, he crawled over without hesitation. He grabbed Huo Jiuxiao’s pants and begged, saying, “Jiuxiao, as long as you let me go, I’ll do anything you want me to do. Really, I’ll do anything. Even if you want me to kill someone, I’ll do it. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”
Huo Jiuxiao kicked Lu Xunyan aside, squatted down, and looked at him. He said, “Since you’ve thought it through, there’s no need for me to remind you what to do next, right?”
At this moment, there was only bloodlust in Huo Jiuxiao’s eyes. He seemed to have lost all desire to live, only the flames of revenge.
Lu Xunyan was afraid of this version of Huo Jiuxiao. He would rather go to jail. Even if he died of old age in prison, it was better than staying by Huo Jiuxiao’s side and being tortured by him.
“I know… I really do.”
Huo Jiuxiao stood up and turned around. He said, “Uncle, if this matter is done well, then we’ll be even. However, if you play any more tricks…”
“I don’t dare to. I really don’t dare!”
Huo Jiuxiao didn’t say anything else. He took a few steps forward and looked at Duan Yanxing. He said, “I’ll leave him to you.”
“I know what to do,” replied Duan Yanxing.
Since Huo Jiuxiao wanted an eye for an eye, he would naturally control the scale. Not only would he let the Huo family know fear, but he could also protect Lu Xunyan’s useless life and send him to prison.
“After dealing with Lu Xunyan, seal the basement for me.”
From now on, he would never associate himself with darkness again.
Huo Jiuxiao wanted Lu Xunyan to have such a misconception so that the Huo family would be wary of him. His attitude was very clear. If he died, someone from the Huo family would definitely be buried with him.
“I also hope that this is the last time!” Duan Yanxing said. After all, Huo Jiuxiao had a wife and daughter. If the Huo family committed another crime, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Huo Jiuxiao looked at him meaningfully, perhaps thinking that he was naive.
Because in Huo Jiuxiao’s eyes, he could only fight for a short period of peace. If he really wanted to protect himself and Lin Wanli, he had to become stronger.
In the past, he had underestimated that idiot Ah Li. In the future, he could try to join forces with her.
His Ah Li could really be trusted and he would be assured with her around.
The next day, the sun was high in the sky.
The chirping of cicadas outside the dormitory had already started disturbing the students. It was time for breakfast in school. At this moment, someone suddenly posted on the Star Shield Design Institute’s campus forum that the award-winning design of Nan Xing from Huamei Design had plagiarized Tong La’s graduation design.
In the post, someone took out Nan Xing’s previous design drafts and compared them with the award-winning work. They found that the style was completely different. Then, they looked at Tong La’s design. Be it the style or the lines, they were all highly similar and consistent.
Plagiarism was a detestable thing in design schools. Besides, Nan Xing won the highest design award in Huamei.
‘You even copied your friend’s design. Isn’t that a cheap move?”
“Yesterday’s incident at the Platinum Hotel was enough to shatter one’s worldview. I didn’t expect there to be a follow-up.”
“You must be really unlucky to be friends with her, right? The girls in this dormitory are really miserable.”
“So, is Nan Xing a fair, rich, and beautiful woman? Is there anyone who wants to come out and object to these allegations?”
At this time, Nan Xing did not know that her plagiarism had been exposed to everyone. She went to the canteen to eat as usual. Even if she met people rolling their eyes at her, she would treat them as them acting up because of what happened yesterday and ignore them. That was until the dean found her and asked her to go to his office.
At this moment, Tong La and Rui Jing were also there.
“Don’t tell me you’re so bored that you’re going to complain to the school about someone else’s private manners?” Nan Xing snorted coldly. “Aren’t you making a mountain out of a molehill?”
“Haha.” Rui Jing sneered.
“Dean, my work has won an award at Huamei. It was a gold award for design. This is not an achievement that anyone can achieve.” Nan Xing said to the dean as if she was asking for credit.
“Student Nan Xing, this is the reason why I called you here.” The dean adjusted his glasses and said, “According to an insider report, your work is suspected of plagiarism.”
“What plagiarism? I didn’t plagiarize! If you have the ability, produce the evidence of my plagiarism.”
As if Tong La knew that she was already like this, so she took out her design drafts from her bag. She said, “Director, this is my blueprint and a set of graduation projects. Including my manuscript design and source of inspiration. ”
However, Nan Xing reached out to snatch it away. She said, “Tong La, you stole my stuff?”
“Who stole whose stuff?” Tong La asked.
“Of course, you’re the one who stole my stuff. My work has already been published. This is a design specially made for Huamei’s recruitment. How can
you be so shameless?” Nan Xing asked Tong La righteously..
