Chapter 208: No Use in Complaining

Zhu Sha continued to tell Mo Shiyun what she had heard, “And I heard that the organizer of the competition will personally meet the award recipients on the day of the award ceremony. Now I finally understand why the Jian family had done such a thing. They’re paving the way for their daughter.”

The organizer of the competition was a respected individual from the capital. To receive an award from him was an honor.

Although the Jian family was considered influential in Hengyuan City, their family history and power was still a far cry from the families in the capital.

Mo Shiyun struggled to put a smile on her face. “It’s passed now. Let’s just prepare for our college entrance exams.”

There were some things that were better left unsaid. There was no point in hearing Zhu Sha’s voice.

Mo Shiyun knew from the very start that there was no use in complaining. She couldn’t do anything to change the current situation.

Fate had long ago taught her how to silently endure certain things.

“Oh my, Shiyun, you have a really good temper. If I were to be in such a situation, I’d be angry about this for quite some while. If it weren’t for Jian Yiling and her family, then the person who would receive the award would be you. You’d get to meet that big shot from the capital.”

“It’s time for class,” Mo Shiyun replied. She tried to change the subject in a nonchalant manner.

Mo Shiyun knew that it was useless to talk to Zhu Sha about this. As a result, she thought that she was better off for not saying anything.

When Zhu Sha saw Mo Shiyun’s reaction, she couldn’t help but shake her head.

At the same time, another thread had been posted onto the forum. Yet again, it was related to Jian Yunnao’s and Jian Yiling’s incident.

The post explained the entire situation. It called out the account of the individual who started spreading the rumor.

And the results made everyone sigh in disbelief.

The real owner of that account had already unexpectedly passed away.

In other words, someone had deliberately stolen an account to ruin Jian Yiling’s reputation.

It was obvious that someone was trying to frame Jian Yiling.

Otherwise, why would someone be so cunning to use a dead person’s account to spread rumors?

The bloody truth was exposed in front of everyone. This made it hard for everyone to not realize the truth.

Qiu Yizhen and her two lackeys also saw the new post on the forum. The more she looked at the post, the more annoyed she got.

“What luck is this? Why is there so much favorable news for her? In fact, one after another.” Qiu Yizhen muttered irritably.

“Sister Qiu, don’t get angry. At worst, we go back to the old days.”

“That’s true. Even if she didn’t push Jian Yunnao, she’s still not likable. She’s arrogant and defiant.”

Qiu Yizhen’s two lackeys desperately tried to comfort her.

“Yeah, that’s true,” Qiu Yizhen admitted.

“Furthermore, this is a good thing in a way. Although Jian Yiling isn’t likable, she’s still Jian Yunnao’s sister. Jian Yunnao would have been very sad about this.”

The two lackeys knew that Sister Qiu was a massive fan of Jian Yunnao. Thus, they decided to talk about the situation from Jian Yunnao’s perspective. Maybe then, Sister Qiu would hear their words.

As they expected, upon hearing such words, Qiu Yizhen felt much happier.

“By the way, if you’re really upset, then I have an idea.”

“Speak,” Qiu Yizhen said. She had been feeling depressed.

“We can’t do anything to Jian Yiling. However, we can mess with her desk-mate. Recently, Jian Yiling has been quite close to that girl.”

Those words suddenly reminded Qiu Yizhen. She pondered for a bit and looked thoughtful.

“Is it true that her desk-mate is a parvenu?”

“Yeah, that’s true. In the early days, they had demolished a lot of buildings and relocated the original inhabitants of those buildings. Then, they eventually earned a lot of money and gathered heaps of properties. Their family has a lot of buildings under their name. As a result, they have quite a lot of money, However, that’s the only thing that they have. They don’t have much of a background and social standing. As a result, compared to the Jian family, they won’t be that difficult to mess with.”
