However, high school students are still somewhat behind college students and adults, still using things like campus forums.
So before the surveillance footage was even available, someone had already taken photos and, based on just a few words or snippets, summarized the whole incident and shared it on the school forum.
The forum exploded as soon as the celebrity Su Qianqian was mentioned.
Not only people from Su Qianqian's high school, but also people from the private high school she used to attend, started to join in the fun and gossip.
The news on the forum was flooded with all sorts of messages.
Su Qianqian watched as the useless system, as if seeking praise, unfolded a virtual page, displaying the comments from the online forums in front of her.
Su Qianqian felt three exclamation marks appear on her forehead, indicating that she really would thank them.
The things mentioned above are getting more and more outrageous, such as Su Qianqian spending a lot of money to transfer to a public school just because she was attracted to Jiang Cuo's looks and wanted to win the beauty's heart.
What private school could possibly satisfy Su Qianqian's arrogant and domineering nature?
She wanted to go to the poor people in the public school to satisfy her princess dream.
What's even more frightening is that there were so many people praising that comment about spending a fortune on Jiang Cuo.
You're just like me, so love-struck.
However, most of the insults directed at Su Qianqian were actually directed at her.
After all, the original owner of this body, Su Qianqian, had countless enemies. There were plenty of people who disliked Su Qianqian.
Before the surveillance footage was released, the general direction of the situation was already determined.
Su Qianqian bullied her powerless, commoner classmates; she deserves to die a thousand deaths. Can't God open his eyes and someone do something about it?
Unfortunately, in this world, apart from Jiang Cuo, 99% of everyone's mind is filled with tears shed from love, and the remaining 1% of their intelligence can only think of eating.
The surveillance footage, displayed on the multimedia blackboard, showed that the girl was the first to arrive at the classroom this morning because she was on duty for the day.
She ran to Jiang Cuo's desk, found his homework, and then went to the trash can and tore it into pieces.
It was also placed in a plastic bag. When there were many people in the classroom, they sneakily kicked the plastic bag open, which is why it scattered like flower petals in the trash can.
Once Su Qianqian arrived at the classroom, she deliberately made a scene to attract her classmates' attention.
As the surveillance footage played, the girl's face grew increasingly pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she even collapsed to her knees with a thud, pleadingly looking at the principal and teachers.
However, the principal and teachers were helpless against her, as the evidence was conclusive. They just couldn't understand why this girl would do such a thing and provoke the most difficult person to deal with.
"I really didn't mean to. I didn't want to tear up Jiang Cuo's homework, I..."
She wanted to say that she was acting under someone's orders, but when she thought about the benefits that person had given her, she was afraid that if she told them, she would not only lose all the money but also face retaliation. She couldn't say it.
So she made up what she thought was a perfect excuse on the spot, "That's right, I like Jiang Cuo, I have a crush on Jiang Cuo, I have a crush on Jiang Cuo for a long time, I hate Su Qianqian because she can become Jiang Cuo's deskmate as soon as she arrives."
Who gave Su Qianqian the right to bully people at will just because she has power and influence?
She could have been Jiang Cuo's deskmate, but she showed no respect for Jiang Cuo at all! She even copied Jiang Cuo's homework and spoke rudely to Jiang Cuo, which is why I wanted to tear up Jiang Cuo's homework and frame her.
"Get her away from Jiang Cuo!"
Being obsessed with love can indeed garner sympathy from most people in this world.
But it didn't work on Su Qianqian.
As long as Su Qianqian doesn't give in, even the Heavenly King himself won't be able to change her mind.
"That's a good reason, but if you like Jiang Cuo so much, how could you bear to tear up Jiang Cuo's homework?"
If you really want to get Jiang Cuo's attention, why don't you just tear up my homework? When everyone suspects Jiang Cuo, you withstand all the pressure, clear Jiang Cuo's name, and take the blame for him.
Wouldn't doing this make it easier to gain Jiang Cuo's favor?
Su Qianqian got up from her seat and walked back to a spot where her phone camera could capture her image.
Looking at the girl kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face, he raised his arrogant chin and said, "I don't care what your purpose or mentality is."
You were the one who tore up Jiang Cuo's homework, you were the one who pinned this mess on me, and now your scheme has been exposed.
How can I make you make amends to me? Because of your actions, Jiang Cuo's negative opinion of me has increased, and my classmates are also secretly badmouthing me. These negative emotions have had a significant impact on my young mind.
Can you afford to pay for it?
Jiang Cuo frowned slightly as she listened to Su Qianqian's well-organized words. She couldn't help but glance at Su Qianqian's profile as she stood beside her.
Jiang Cuo sensed that something had changed about Su Qianqian, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it because Su Qianqian's words were still as unreasonable and arrogant as ever.
However, what Su Qianqian said seemed to make sense now.
It's something that leaves no room for argument.
It's like before, people only had momentum but no brains; now they have both momentum and brains.
But she couldn't understand how Su Qianqian had suddenly become so intelligent, and how, even though she was a bit arrogant, she wasn't so annoying anymore.
Jiang Cuo had figured it out long ago.
It is true that my homework was torn up, but it wasn't my math homework that was torn up.
But the girl pretended to be calm and said that the English letters were formulas that her math teacher had explained yesterday.
Jiang Cuo didn't want to point it out or expose it, because this matter was no longer her concern. She was forced into the storm, but she could keep herself out of it.
As for Su Qianqian... Jiang Cuo just wanted to stay away from her.
So it's impossible to clear Su Qianqian's name, but what is that girl's relationship with her?
For her, her role in this matter was merely that of a background character.
However, now she was a little curious about how Su Qianqian would resolve this matter.
[Waste System: Congratulations, host. Your integration with this world has increased by 5%. Your current integration with this system's world is 9%.]
The sudden system notification startled Su Qianqian; how could it have suddenly increased by 5%?
There are quite a lot.
The girl's tears flowed like water, one drop after another.
"Teacher, principal, I was really wrong, please don't expel me."
My mother is sick and unable to work. My family relies solely on my father. I also have my grandmother and two younger brothers. The family is counting on me to study hard and make something of myself.
I didn't know things would get this serious. I admit I acted impulsively... but I'm innocent, Su. Why are you being so aggressive? You have money and power, you have everything, while I have nothing. Isn't that enough?
"Just because of this little thing. Are you trying to drive me to my death?"
When the classmates and teachers saw this girl crying uncontrollably, she was in such a miserable state that she was indeed much more pitiful than Su Qianqian.
They couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, and even when they looked at Su Qianqian, the victim, their gazes became somewhat sympathetic.
It was as if Su Qianqian was being unreasonable and had done something wicked.
Upon seeing this, Su Qianqian began to sneer inwardly, clenching her fists in anger.
She knew that some of the anger did not come from her, but from the original owner of the body.
When the original owner was a child, he suffered a lot because Su Lian pretended to be pitiful.
The original owner deeply resented this behavior of only helping the miserable and weak without considering the facts or reasoning.
Su Qianqian stopped pretending, picked up a book from the last row of students' desks, and slammed it to the ground with a bang.
The classroom fell silent instantly.
"What are you crying about?! You think you're right just because you're weak? What a load of bull! Go to hell with your logic!"
Chapter Eight
"Didn't you do it? If you're so afraid, why didn't you use your brain to think it through before you did it!"
Think of your elderly grandmother, your poor mother, your two weak and innocent younger brothers, and your father who is working hard outside to support your education!
Is that what they expect of you? That you do these kinds of things at school and then use them as a shield?
If you had framed one of the other students here instead of me, in this school and in this class, apart from me being a bit conspicuous, who among the others isn't an ordinary person?
"Is it because you focused your attention on me today that you can play the victim and act pitiful? If we don't teach you a lesson, you'll be bolder tomorrow and harm whoever you want. What excuse will you have then?"
Su Qianqian tried her best to suppress the hatred coming from the original owner of the body.
When Su Qianqian mentioned this, the students in the class seemed to be awakened, and their minds suddenly became clear.
This girl dared to mess with even Su Qianqian, let alone them.
As a result, the students felt much less sympathy for the girl.
[Waste System: Congratulations, host, for completing the checkpoint mission. Your integration with this world has increased by 6%, bringing your current integration level to 15%.]
As soon as Su Qianqian heard that the scene was over, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her tense shoulders relaxed, and her clenched fists loosened.
“Teacher, this is just a small matter, and I don’t really care about it. I just want to get justice for myself. The principal and teachers have been in this profession for so many years; they should know how to handle this kind of situation…”
Su Qianqian didn't intend to make a big deal out of it; she was simply following the system's instructions and hoping that her actions would change Jiang Cuo's opinion of her.
This would help reduce Jiang Cuo's dislike for her.
Before Su Qianqian could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
In Su Qianqian's eyes, Su Lian at the door seemed to be afraid that this matter would just pass by, and immediately interrupted her.
Su Lian's face looked full of apology, but her hands kept moving incessantly, making a rather grating sound.
Su Qianqian had only spoken halfway when the teacher, thinking she had come up with some unforgiving trick, quickly interrupted her and introduced Su Lian, who was standing at the door.
"Classmates, this is our new classmate, Su Lian."
Su Lian just transferred to our school today from a private school. Please introduce yourself to everyone.
Su Lian's eyes were timid as she looked at Su Qianqian standing opposite her and slowly walked towards the podium.
"Hello everyone, I'm Su Lian, Su Qianqian's younger sister..."
Su Lian saw the undisguised amazement in the eyes of the students sitting below when they saw her, and she secretly felt smug.
She knew those people would definitely compare her to Su Qianqian again, and Su Qianqian couldn't even compare to her fingertips.
Although Su Lian wore a gentle smile, her eyes were devoid of warmth. She glanced at the girl kneeling not far away and sneered inwardly.
