She's so useless; we have to make her do it.
The moment Su Qianqian saw Su Lian appear, she already understood.
The person behind this has already made their appearance.
Su Lian was clever; she knocked on the door to interrupt Su Qianqian because she understood the implication in Su Qianqian's words and didn't intend to pursue the matter further.
But how could that be? This wouldn't do as she wished.
As soon as Su Lian finished saying that she was Su Qianqian's younger sister, she immediately covered her mouth, her eyes filled with fear.
"I'm sorry, sister. I know you don't want others to know about our relationship. I know you don't like me..."
But Dad was so worried about my sister. He knew she didn't get along with others, so he sent me here to keep her company. But how could my sister bully her classmates?
As Su Lian spoke, she carried her cute little backpack and took small steps to the girl kneeling on the ground. She then took the girl's arm and helped her stand up.
"This school is full of ordinary people, how can they compare to someone as precious as my sister?"
No matter what happened today, please don't blame her, okay? You can vent to me however you want, but please don't bully others anymore.
Everyone around held their breath upon hearing Su Lian's words, their eyes blazing with gossip, as if they had heard some explosive news.
Originally, Su Qianqian was framed, but with just a few words from Su Lian, it became that Su Qianqian was abusing her power and being unreasonable.
Not only does he bully his younger sister at home, but he also goes after anyone he doesn't like outside.
Upon seeing Su Lian's arrival and hearing what she said, Jiang Cuo, one of only two students in the classroom with a brain, couldn't help but glance at Su Qianqian.
She noticed that Su Qianqian's shoulders were trembling slightly.
Jiang Cuo pursed her lips, feeling strangely that for a moment she even wanted to speak up for Su Qianqian.
But she clearly didn't want to get involved with Su Qianqian at all.
Jiang Cuo ultimately chose to remain silent, waiting to see how Su Qianqian would respond.
To Su Lian's utter surprise, Su Qianqian didn't get angry; instead, she wore an unusual smile.
Su Qianqian stretched as if she was tired, and rubbed her oval face. "I'm tired from talking so much. I really didn't expect that today is the first day that my little sister, who is always following me around, has transferred to the same class as me. So I'll give her face today and not pursue this matter."
As Su Qianqian spoke, she pointed to the camera on the podium, "In the past, there was no high technology, so heaven was watching what people did."
Now that we have this system in place, people are doing it, and cameras are watching. As I've said before, justice will prevail, and the teachers and principal will definitely handle it. I won't say any more. I'm truly sorry for delaying the teachers' class time.
Furthermore, I would like to apologize to Jiang Cuo. After all, this student was targeting me, but it was Jiang's homework that was torn up, which implicated Jiang. I feel very sorry.
However… while I won’t pursue this matter, I hope this student remembers that if something similar happens to me again, you will be my first suspect. My dear sister only has one face; once it’s used, she has no shame. I hope you’ll think twice before you act.”
Su Lian didn't know whether Su Qianqian's last act of self-discipline was referring to that girl or to her.
However, Su Qianqian's reaction was something she hadn't expected; she thought Su Qianqian would be furious.
It was always like this before. Whenever she said that, Su Qianqian would go crazy and hit and insult her. In that case, everyone around her would sympathize with her and pity her, and in the end, Su Qianqian would be the one in the wrong.
But what's wrong with her today?
Su Qianqian very naturally walked past the girl who had been helped up by Su Lian.
I picked up the scraps of paper scattered on the ground next to the trash can, put them in my pocket, returned to my seat, turned off the video recording on my phone, and then uploaded them to the cloud for backup.
[Waste System: Wow, host's ability to control emotions is amazing! But why are you picking up all those scraps of paper? What's the point?]
Su Qianqian raised an eyebrow.
'You're just a useless system, of course you don't know that this is extremely useful.'
Su Qianqian's strange act of picking up scraps of paper also attracted the attention of her other classmates.
People started whispering, "Why is Su Qianqian acting so strangely today? Logically speaking, with Su Qianqian's spoiled temper, she would never let that classmate off the hook."
"Yeah, why did Su Qianqian pick up Jiang Cuo's homework scraps? Could it be... really as the forum posts say?"
"What's being said on Tieba? Tell us quickly, tell us quickly."
"The forum says that Su Qianqian transferred to our class to pursue Jiang Cuo!"
The reason I didn't lose my temper today was because Jiang Cuo was involved, and Su Qianqian picked up the scraps of paper because they belonged to Jiang Cuo!
I never imagined that Su Qianqian, a young lady from a wealthy family, could be so humble for love.
And did you hear that? Su Qianqian even apologized to Jiang Cuo.
An arrogant and domineering young lady paired with a cold and aloof female academic genius—that's actually quite appealing!
Every word of this gossip reached Su Qianqian's ears.
Su Qianqian: "..."
She now deeply feels that being obsessed with love is an illness, and it needs to be cured.
Chapter Nine
The students who were whispering were neither too loud nor too soft.
What Su Qianqian could hear clearly, Jiang Cuo could also hear clearly.
Jiang Cuo always disregarded such rumors and gossip.
But this was the first time she had heard the rumor that Su Qianqian liked her in class.
Jiang Cuo's fingers twitched unconsciously, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of impatience appeared between his brows.
Does Su Qianqian like her?
Jiang Cuo sneered inwardly.
That's utterly absurd.
To humiliate her, Su Qianqian went so far as to torment her entire family, forcing them to move into Su Qianqian's villa.
This time, it's probably just a different way of making her admit defeat.
Jiang Cuo, of course, wasn't interested in such petty tricks.
[Waste System: Warmly remind the host that Jiang Cuo's aversion to the host has increased. Currently, Jiang Cuo's aversion to the host is 90.]
As Jiang Cuo's aversion to the host increased, the host's integration with the system world decreased by 2%, and the host's current integration with the system world is 13%.
Please note, host, that if your integration with this world decreases, all your efforts that day will be for naught.
Please make contact with Jiang Cuo as soon as possible to increase your integration with this system's world. If the system detects that you are passively performing tasks or have a "giving up" mentality, the system will lock your control over all your assets in this world.
Su Qianqian: '!!!'
What?!
Su Qianqian was sitting in her seat, intending to repeat what she had done that morning at the table: covering her arm, supporting her face with her hand, and boldly looking Jiang Cuo up and down, which made Jiang Cuo's momentum drop.
Unexpectedly, the system notified her that her integration with the system world had decreased.
What's up with this female villain?
How can someone so young be so moody?
Everything was fine just now, wasn't it?
Jiang Cuo's homework was torn up by that girl, but Jiang Cuo's dislike for her didn't increase.
This shows that Jiang Cuo didn't care that much about his homework being torn up.
Why did Jiang Cuo suddenly start disliking her again? She really didn't do anything.
Su Qianqian felt that she was a real shrew.
[Waste System: Please take action as soon as possible.]
Su Qianqian clenched her fists, extremely angry.
The dog system doesn't communicate clearly the first time, and every time a problem arises, it increases the threat.
"Does 'locking assets' mean freezing all the money in my name so I can't use it?"
[Waste System: Yes, host, not only can't you use the money, but all the villas, butlers, and servants you own have been frozen.]
The host then becomes a homeless vagrant.
Su Qianqian: ...
I really will thank you.
Su Qianqian gritted her teeth inwardly, but she had no choice but to succumb to the system's tyranny.
Despite her reluctance, Su Qianqian calmly raised her head, a bright smile on her face, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed into crescents, and her body moved softly and slowly toward Jiang Cuo.
Even with Su Lian behind her, whose gaze could bore a hole through the back of her head, Su Qianqian had no time to pay attention.
Her eyes were only on the female villain, Jiang Cuo.
Su Qianqian pinched her throat, feeling a pitiful, weak voice like that of a white lotus flower.
"Is Jiang angry with me? Is it because that girl tore up Jiang's homework because of me that Jiang is taking her anger out on me?"
But Jiang knows this isn't my fault. That girl has no grudge against me. Just because I come from a wealthy family, am pretty, and have money and power, does that mean I have to be targeted and isolated?
But what does all this have to do with me? It was all given to me by my grandparents; I'm completely innocent."
Su Lian was already extremely unwilling because she had not achieved her goal, so she kept a close eye on Su Qianqian out of the corner of her eye.
Su Lian used her pitiful face to get a seat at the table behind Su Qianqian.
So every word Su Qianqian said reached Su Lian's ears.
Su Lian stared at Su Qianqian's eyes so hard they almost popped out. Could these really be the words that Su Qianqian had just said?
When did Su Qianqian go from being arrogant and domineering to also being shameless?
Jiang Cuo clearly hadn't expected Su Qianqian to chatter incessantly in her ear like a jubilant lark.
The Su Qianqian of the past would never have bothered to talk to her so much; her face was incredibly arrogant.
The way he looked at others was as if he were looking down on all living beings.
Those eyes seemed to say, "You scumbag, you don't deserve to live in front of me."
