“Don’t talk nonsense. This has nothing to do with me. I am just asking.”

  Lü Yan shifted her chair to the original position, keeping a distance from Yu Xiaoxiao.

  “Are you sure it has nothing to do with you?” Yu Xiaoxiao found it hard to believe. Initially, she thought that the culprit must be Tang Jiayun. However, Tang Jiayun behaved as if it had nothing to do with her and she did not care at all. On the contrary, Lü Yan seemed to be very concerned about it.

  “Of course. It has nothing to do with me.” Lü Yan took out her book, grabbed a pen, and began to copy information into the book. “I am concerned and curious because Qiao Nan used to stay in the same dormitory as us. It’s alright if this is untrue. If not, I will be too ashamed to tell others that Qiao Nan has been staying in the same dormitory as me for half a month. You may feel that there is nothing wrong with Qiao Nan, but I think she is behaving weirdly. If the thread is true, the older man is Qiao Nan’s financial backer. It is not surprising that Qiao Nan fawns over her financial backer. I feel that it is very normal. This shows that Qiao Nan has a guilty conscience.”

  Lü Yan rattled on like a machine gun, dissing Qiao Nan. Yu Xiaoxiao gaped in shock. “.……”

  This was weird. Something was wrong about Lü Yan.

  In the past, when Tang Jiayun egged them to ostracize Qiao Nan, Lü Yan would not go to this extent to push all the blame to Qiao Nan.

  Most importantly, Yu Xiaoxiao could not accept what Lü Yan said.

  Yu Xiaoxiao let out a breath. She had no wish to talk to Lü Yan and focused her attention on her textbooks.

  “Yu Xiaoxiao, are you angry?”

  After a long while, Lü Yan felt embarrassed and asked Yu Xiaoxiao.

  \r \r \r

  Tang Jiayun had fallen asleep. Lü Yan lowered her voice for fear that she would disturb Tang Jiayun and the latter would lose her temper.

  Yu Xiaoxiao did not look at Lü Yan. “I am not angry. There’s nothing to be angry about. Now, Qiao Nan should be the person who is furious. I have no idea whether the thread is true or false, but the person who posted the thread had better pray that Qiao Nan was bluffing. If not, instead of Qiao Nan, the person who posted the thread will be expelled by Peking University.”

  Lü Yan lost her grip on her pen and it made a long marking on the book. “Is it that serious? Peking University does not belong to Qiao Nan. Why would she have the final say?”

  “She may not have the final say, but the principal has the final say.” Yu Xiaoxiao sneered. “There is more to come.”

  Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan thought that Tang Jiayun was fast asleep. To their surprise, she sat up suddenly and lay on her stomach. She blinked at Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan. “I finally figured out something.”

  “What is it?” Lü Yan paused and asked.

  “It doesn’t matter whether the thread is true or false. The sender has to leave Peking University. The only difference is whether they will leave by themselves or Qiao Nan will leave school as well.”

  “W-why?!” Why would Qiao Nan be able to stay while the sender had to be expelled?

  Both Lü Yan and Yu Xiaoxiao were puzzled. “That’s right. What is the reason?”

  “Are you a fool? Lü Yan, didn’t you check and find out that the brand of the car is very expensive? Do you think ordinary folks will be able to drive this type of car? The thread has caught Qiao Nan as well as the car owner in the photo. I have thought of a possibility. Qiao Nan kept saying that the sender is doomed. Perhaps it has nothing to do with her. She was referring to the man in the photo!”

  Tang Jiayun felt that she had made a very reasonable analysis. “Qiao Nan doesn’t have the habit of bluffing. I feel that the problem lies with the man. We are bound for a good show. I feel much better now that I have figured it out. I shall sleep now.”

  Hehehe. True enough, Qiao Nan had her ways. The people that she knew were rich and powerful. They were related to the principal of Peking University and the principal had to expel the students for that reason.

  Awesome!

  Now that this had happened, Tang Jiayun was all the more certain that she had to win Qiao Nan’s favor and mix with her.

  She had always thought that she was the leader in the dormitory. She did not expect that Qiao Nan turned out to be the hidden talent.

  Tang Jiayun felt better now that she had figured out the problem and was able to sleep well. But her words had given someone a fright.

  Man proposes, God disposes. Lü Yan never expected that the problem was not with Qiao Nan but was with the man in the photo.

  The more Lü Yan thought about it, the more fearful she was. She could not control her tears and they streaked down her face.

  “You……” Yu Xiaoxiao knew right away from Lü Yan’s reaction to what was going on. She was exasperated that she was at a loss for words.

  “Tang Jiayun, you can’t sleep. Don’t think that this has nothing to do with you. You are the one who lent me the camera. Without your camera, would I be able to take the photo? Therefore, if anything crops up, you have to bear responsibility as well.” Lü Yan was not scared of Qiao Nan. But she was fearful of the owner of the Land Rover.

  It was not easy to get into Peking University and a new term had just started. If she was expelled by the school, her future would be ruined. Lü Yan was scared stiff.

  “You may be crazy, but you can’t drag others down with you. So what if I lent you my camera? Did I tell you to take the photo? According to what you said, does it mean that if a murderer uses a fruit knife to murder people, then the person who sells the knife has to go to jail? You must be crazy!” Tang Jiayun glared at Lü Yan and slapped her hands away.

  Lü Yan was the one who committed foolish deeds, yet she wanted her to suffer as well. Lü Yan must be out of her mind. She had confessed without being pressed. “Let me warn you. I heard nothing of what you said just now. I don’t know you have issues with Qiao Nan. Do you understand?”

  Tang Jiayun no longer felt sleepy after the commotion that Lü Yan made.

  It was true that she had a camera and had lent it to Lü Yan.

  But it was Lü Yan who wanted to take the photo and it was Lü Yan who posted the thread secretly. She did not make any comments throughout. How dared Lü Yan push the blame on her?

  Qiao Nan must have come out from the principal’s office by now. Tang Jiayun came down from the bed. She went to the restroom to remove her makeup.

  Her good friend was in trouble, so how could she put on makeup?

  It was rare that Tang Jiayun did not put on makeup. She hummed a song and left the dormitory in a happy mood. She did not care that Lü Yan had cried so much that her eyes were swollen.

  “Yu Xiaoxiao, what should I do? Who do you think is the man in the photo?” Lü Yan wiped her tears and looked toward Yu Xiaoxiao. “I-I did not mean any harm. I just couldn’t stand Qiao Nan’s behavior. She has tarnished the reputation of Peking University.”
