Chapter 34: Threatening With Death
Lan Ruomei asked in panic and fear, "What… what do you want to do? Do you have to kill us to be at ease?"
"Hehe…" Gu Qingming sneered. "Lan Ruomei, I used to think that you were really a kind, cheerful, and generous girl. That's why I made friends with you.
"But in fact, I was really blind. I gave you branded jewelry, bags, and money to spend but you snatched my boyfriend."
Lan Ruomei blurted out, "He was my boyfriend!"
Then she realized what she had said and immediately covered her mouth, but it was too late.
"Ha, Lin Haotian is her boyfriend?"
"No way, isn't Lin Haotian Gu Qingming's boyfriend?"
"Didn't she and Lin Haotian say that they were siblings?"
"I sense that there's a very big scandal involved."
"I feel it too!"
… .
"Hehe, Lin Haotian was originally your boyfriend?" Gu Qingming sneered. "But why did Lin Haotian become my boyfriend and how did you become my good friend? Doesn't everyone find it strange?"
"Ah, that's odd. I used to think they were really brother and sister. Are they a couple?"
"No wonder Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei wear matching couple outfits every day. I thought they were siblings who had a good relationship. So they're really a couple."
"They're a couple. Then what's with Gu Qingming? A mistress?"
"Shh, lower your voice. Do you really want to offend Gu Qingming?"
"But am I telling the truth?"
"The truth? Hmph, do you think Gu Qingming is really a mistress? Do you remember who wooed whom back then?"
"Ah, now that you mention it, I remember. Back then, it was Lin Haotian who pursued Gu Qingming first. At that time, many people were laughing at Lin Haotian for lusting after the swan."
Everyone knew Lin Haotian's origins as well as Gu Qingming's identity and family background. Although Lin Haotian was a little handsome, Gu Qingming was also a publicly acknowledged beauty in the school. Whether it was her appearance or her birth, she was completely out of Gu Qingming's league.
Therefore, at that time, many people secretly mocked Lin Haotian.
However, to everyone's surprise, two months later, Lin Haotian really caught up to Gu Qingming.
"That's right. Back then, it was clearly Lin Haotian who pursued Gu Qingming. Now, they're saying that Gu Qingming is a mistress who stepped between them. Isn't… isn't it too much?"
"No, I should say, what exactly happened between the three of them? If I remember correctly, Lin Haotian and Gu Qingming were a couple, Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei were childhood sweethearts, and weren't Lan Ruomei and Gu Qingming best friends? What happened now? Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei were originally a couple, but Gu Qingming snatched their love away?"
"Pfft! Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei are too shameless. It was clearly Lin Haotian who pursued Gu Qingming first, and Lan Ruomei, who was a good friend of the two parties, seemed to have brought them together."
"So, their relationship is a little strange."
Someone asked Gu Qingming directly.
"Gu Qingming, what's going on? Aren't the three of you always on good terms? Why are you falling out now?"
Gu Qingming's sharp gaze swept towards Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei, and she sneered, "Hmph, what's going on? Then I'll play a recording for everyone, and everyone will understand what's going on."
Then she took out the piece of evidence again.
When Lan Ruomei heard this, her pupils constricted and her face turned pale. She shouted at Gu Qingming, "No!"
Then, she said hysterically, "Gu Qingming, will you only stop after you kill us? Fine, if you dare to release it, I'll die right now."
As long as Gu Qingming dared to release that recording, she would pretend to commit suicide in public to threaten her. With her shout, the surrounding onlookers became even more interested in what Gu Qingming was holding.
"Wow, what exactly does Gu Qingming have that makes Lan Ruomei want to commit suicide as a threat?"
"My guess is that it was most likely Gu Qingming who caught them in bed."
"I thought so."
The discussions naturally reached the ears of Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei. It made them both embarrassed and angry.
It was all Gu Qingming's fault.Why was she being aggressive when she was so rich?
She was the one who got pregnant with a bastard first. As long as she married Lin Haotian, she would be able to give the child a status. However, she insisted on breaking up with Lin Haotian and even asked them to return what she had given to them.
She was so rich. What was wrong with giving them some money?
Gu Qingming was indifferent to Lan Ruomei's death threat. She shot a look at the bodyguard beside her.
The bodyguard understood immediately. The two bodyguards quickly walked up to Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei and grabbed one of their arms tightly so that they could move, but they couldn't break free.
"Let me go. You're holding someone captive in public. Do you have any respect for the law?"
Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei struggled and shouted, "Gu Qingming, what are you trying to do? Tell them to let go."
Gu Qingming shook her head and chuckled mockingly. "Aren't you going to commit suicide in public? I'm telling you to calm down first. If you die on the spot, you'll scare the surrounding students."
The corners of Lan Ruomei's mouth twitched a few times, and her expression was abnormally ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "You… you're cold-blooded!"
"Do you really want to kill yourselves?"
As soon as Gu Qingming finished speaking, a bodyguard carried a large bucket of water over.
"Missy!"
"Splash!" The word came out coldly.
Without a word, the bodyguard carried a large bucket of water and splashed it on their heads.
"Ah!"
"Ha, isn't Gu Qingming too arrogant? However, I like this personality!"
"Haha, I didn't expect that the cold goddess in my heart is also such a queen."
"Haha, look, isn't that lingerie Lan Ruomei is wearing the latest fashion trend?"
"Tsk, tsk. How shameless. Who are you trying to seduce by wearing such underwear in broad daylight?"
