Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Sheng Tang Seduces Gu Shiting?
Sheng Tang denied that she had won against Yang Mingming, but the entire school, including teachers and students, believed otherwise.
They all thought that Sheng Tang rejuvenated the school broadcasts in less than two weeks’ time, which was seen as a decisive victory.
Gu Shiting, however, started avoiding Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang understood that it was because he feared her persuasion.
Gu Shiting would definitely listen to her. He was the most obedient to Sheng Tang—when she pointed east, he wouldn’t dare go west.
But, he didn’t want to take his medicine.
When Sheng Tang called him, he didn’t answer, but he would text back: "I’m reading."
Sheng Tang: "..."
Normally, he studied very casually, just going through the motions. Now, he was actually putting in effort, not even answering calls.
She was so exasperated that she laughed.
"Why are you acting like a child?" she muttered.
Sheng Tang decided to wait for the right opportunity to talk to him about it.
She didn’t push him.
Besides recalling and writing down ’Alice in Wonderland’ from memory, Sheng Tang also had her own studies to manage, which kept her quite busy.
Her broadcasts were very popular on the forum, with dedicated recordings available for each episode. Students who missed it live would listen to it after class.
Even the teachers encouraged students to listen to it in their spare time to expand their reading horizons.
Just when Sheng Tang was becoming very popular, an anonymous post appeared on the forum: "White Lotus tries to seduce Gu Shiting, so fake it hurts."
In the post, it claimed that a girl from Huishi High School, after losing weight, became a bit famous and thought she was a goddess. Unsatisfied with a secret boyfriend, she even secretly tried to seduce Gu Shiting.
The details were all very specific.
The post even mentioned that at the opening ceremony, she was seen smiling ingratiatingly at Gu Shiting and then ran off with him, skipping the closing ceremony entirely.
The implication was very clear: the White Lotus was Sheng Tang.
The students were in an uproar.
"Every school beauty loves Gu Shiting, first it was Yang Mingming, now it’s Sheng Tang."
Many voices of disbelief arose: "Sheng Tang is not that kind of person at all."
"If you’re jealous, at least bring some solid evidence! The post says Sheng Tang has a secret boyfriend, which is completely untrue. Isn’t spreading rumors irresponsible?"
"People are so malicious. Seeing Sheng Tang doing well, someone’s jealousy flares up."
Yet, a small group of people believed it.
"You can tell Sheng Tang is restless. She thinks she’s invincible after gaining some fame in school."
"Did you know Sheng Tang also tried to seduce Gu Jiahui? He even gave her roses once. Who knows what really happened?"
"She truly dreams of climbing the social ladder. This girl is so scheming!"
Then, they went on to say that Sheng Tang was not qualified to pursue Gu Shiting.
Gossip was rampant.
Sheng Tang immediately knew it was Sheng Qiao’s doing, as the only person who saw her and Gu Shiting in the corridor at that opening ceremony was Sheng Qiao.
Sheng Qiao’s father wanted to kill Sheng Tang’s entire family and was currently in custody awaiting trial. She hated Sheng Tang to death and seized the opportunity to smear her reputation as Sheng’s broadcasts gained popularity.
For a while, rumors were wild.
Sheng Tang’s friends were furious.
Bai Shaolin, who never seemed to learn his lesson, openly mocked in class: "Liang Wei, no wonder she doesn’t fancy you. She has her sights set on Gu Shiting. Do you have as much money as Gu Shiting?"
Jiang Baocu stood up and walked towards Bai Shaolin: "Watch your mouth. Do you have any proof?"
Bai Shaolin didn’t take Jiang Baocu seriously at all: "What proof? Can’t I gossip? Besides, you know who I’m talking about, even if I didn’t name names."
Sheng Tang pulled Jiang Baocu back.
