During the afternoon classes, news of Ye Qingcheng breaking her hand spread like wildfire.
"She came to see Gu Qingqing today!"
"I saw it too. Could it be that Ye Qingcheng tried to break Gu Qingqing's hand but got backfired?"
Teenagers were smart. By analyzing similar incidents in the past, summarizing. them, they concluded that Gu Qingqing was a demon who could retaliate. Especially those who attended Gu Qingqing's birthday banquet in Class Three, there were two more cases.
Ye Chengxuan wanted to splash paint on Gu Qingqing, but ended up getting splashed himself.
Ye Qingcheng added super glue to the paint, which ended up ruining her appearance.
The unknowing people who helped ended up with red marks on their hands that wouldn't wash off.
Plus, there were two incidents involving Yang Qi's accidents. The common point in these incidents was that those who tried to harm Gu Qingqing ended up being harmed in the same way.
Without a doubt, Ye Qingcheng's broken hand was because she tried to break Gu Qingqing's hand. Otherwise, how could her hand break right after seeing Gu Qingqing? If it had been Gu Qingqing who broke her hand, would she have endured it quietly? She would have reported it to Director Pan long ago and might have forced the Mu family to pay a few million more, threatening to expel Gu Qingqing if they didn't.
Class Nineteen almost unanimously reached this conclusion. Their reasoning skills were comparable to those of the famous detective Conan!
Ye Qingcheng screamed in pain as she was being treated at the hospital.
The hospital provided two treatment options: surgery, which would align the bones perfectly but would leave scars due to the need for steel nails and two incisions; or conservative treatment, which involved wearing a splint or cast for two months, and then hanging weights on it for another year or so. The latter method would likely result in the bones being misaligned during the healing process, possibly affecting the shape of the wrist.
Ye Qingcheng didn't want scars or surgery, so she finally got what she wanted and was put in a cast.
As she left the hospital and saw the discussions on the campus forum, she felt that her hand broke when she went to the experimental building with Gu Qingqing. Even if she didn't say anything, anyone with a bit of wit should have realized that her hand broke because of Gu Qingqing.
The earlier discussions confirmed her speculation, but suddenly, the tone changed.
"What backlash?"
"What retaliation in kind?"
"Are these people crazy? When did I try to break Gu Qingqing's hand?"
Ye Qingcheng didn't cry when her hand broke, but now, she cried.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Don't cry, Qingcheng!"
Chen Rongrong could only dryly comfort her on the side. She had said it before, Gu Qingqing was too evil to provoke!
They hadn't even done anything bad yet, but they were already being vilified!
"They've gone too far!"
The more Ye Qingcheng cried, the sadder she felt, and the more her broken hand hurt!
Class Nineteen was also discussing the incident. Mu Xueqing suddenly came over.
The whole class immediately fell silent.
"Is Mu Xueqing here to find Chu Wei?"
Mu Xueqing smoothed her hair and glanced at Gu Qingqing before turning away and ignoring her. She replied, "Yes."
The other students also noticed her attitude.
Who would want to be with such a little demon like Gu Qingqing? It's not like they are bored with their lives.
Besides, as soon as Gu Qingqing entered the Mu family, she took away three million yuan from Mu Xueqing. Anyone would feel uneasy about that.
"Where did Chu Wei go?"
A boy quickly replied, "He's smoking in the restroom. He'll be back soon!"
Smoking in school was not allowed, but there were always a few rebels.
Smoking in the restroom was not a secret either. Although someone managed it in Building A, the laissez-faire policy in Building B, where the special students and rich second-generation students were, made it impossible to control.
In less than two minutes, Chu Wei and Zhou Tong came in through the back door, and when they saw Mu Xueqing, Chu Wei turned around and went back out through the back door.
Mu Xueqing walked to the back door with a smile, and the two stood side by side. The boys in the classroom immediately started whistling.
Although the school explicitly prohibits romantic relationships, it's completely normal for people of this age to develop feelings for the opposite sex. Because being forbidden, it instead bears even sweeter fruits.
For example, there are two pairs of acknowledged "almost lovers" in the school: Mu Xueqing and Chu Wei, and the other pair is Ye Qingcheng and Lin Yimo.
Chu Wei was a bit annoyed by the teasing of others. He furrowed his brows, turned away from the crowd, and asked, "What's going on?"
Mu Xueqing took out the shattered SIM card and said, "The SIM card is broken. Can you help me fix it?"
Chu Wei picked it up and looked at it. "You're quite skilled. It's broken beyond repair."
"Can you fix it?"
"I'll try."
Mu Xueqing smiled. She knew that others might not be able to fix it, but Chu Wei might. In the afternoon, after school, Mu Yuyang and Gu Qingqing walked out of the school gate together. He carried two backpacks but stayed three meters away from Gu Qingqing.
Li Yi held Gu Qingqing's hand and couldn't help looking back. "What's your brother doing?"
Gu Qingqing glanced around. Almost everyone who passed by her was three meters away, and the only living thing beside her was Li Yi.
"Is Li Yi's face capable of exorcism? I envy the ugly monsters!"
Amidst the noisy crowd, Gu Qingqing's gaze fell precisely on the person who spoke. The girl turned pale with fright and couldn't move.
"What's wrong?"
"M…My legs are weak!"
Not only were her legs weak, but when she met Gu Qingqing's gaze, she felt like rolling her eyes and passing out. Gu Qingqing withdrew her gaze and took out a lollipop to give to Li Yi.
"Here, have it." Li Yi took it, feeling a bit shy.
"Qingqing, how should I thank you? You buy me candy every day."
Gu Qingqing thought for a moment. "Treat me to barbecue."
Li Yi nodded vigorously.
"Okay, okay!"
Tang Wei was in a good mood today and came to pick them up herself. Mu Yuyang hesitated for a long time before approaching. When he finally came over, he deliberately stood three feet away from Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing looked at him, and the young man jumped in fright.
"I didn't do anything!" He only found out about the Yang Qi's incident this afternoon.
After Ye Chengxuan was pushed down the stairs and Ye Qingcheng also broke her hand, he felt that their family might have adopted something extraordinary! This theory of demonic backlash really made sense!
"Qingqing, go shopping with Mom. Yuyang, take a taxi home by yourself!"
Tang Wei opened the car door and personally helped her daughter into the car. Her careful appearance made it seem as if Gu Qingqing was a fragile doll. However, Mu Yuyang, and even the entire twelfth grade of No.1 High School knew better. She wasn't a fragile doll but a little demon who could make others' bones shatter.
Mu Yuyang tried to pull his mother away, even holding onto Tang Wei's hand, but Gu Qingqing glanced at him lightly, and Mu Yuyang immediately let go.
"Mom, take care!"
Tang Wei glanced at him. "What's wrong with you? The food is in the fridge. Remember to heat it up before eating."
Mu Yuyang quickly nodded.
As the car merged into the traffic, Gu Qingqing looked at the rearview mirror. The car had driven far away, but the young man from the Mu family was still standing on the side of the road, looking at them with a mix of fear and worry in his eyes. A surge of gloom rose in her chest, making her breath heavier.
Tang Wei noticed. "Qingqing, what's wrong?"
Although the little girl's face showed no expression, even with her blank face, as a mother, she could naturally sense her daughter's emotional fluctuations. Gu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Mom, have you checked the forum of the No. 1 High School?"
Now, the forum has demonized her, and there are all kinds of rumors. Tang Wei smiled, gently stroked her daughter's head, "Qingqing, you just need to be yourself. Mom will always be by your side."
Since the first day Gu Qingqing entered school, she had been paying attention to everything about her. Rumors can be as wild as they want, but she only believes in the little angel she feels with her heart.
Her mother's hand was soft and warm. A touch of gentleness melted into Gu Qingqing's eyes and spreaded through her heart.
"Hmm." With a soft utterance, the dimples reappeared.
Tang Wei felt so happy.
