Engagement Annulled? Now The Husbands Kneel and Beg for Her Favor

Gossip spreads at the speed of a rocket.

Jiang Qingli had just finished a meeting with the Student Council as the acting president of the Melt Star Association, and the next moment, the campus forum was flooded with related posts.

The most popular one, however, was about Jiang Qingli and the two Yuan brothers.

Title: [Serious Discussion: Does Yuan Shiyao regret turning down his sister-in-law now?]

Body: Reliable source, Yuan Shiyao was also present at the meeting today. Jiang Qingli sat at the head of the table, and he watched from the side. Wonder if he regrets not accepting her pursuit before and missing out on such a hot ticket. She’s his sister-in-law now...

The replies were a mixed bag.

[He definitely regrets it. Right now, Jiang Qingli has Jiang Youchen in one hand and Qin Shu in the other. Those are some powerful people to latch onto. If I were a guy, I’d go for it right now.]

[Jiang Qingli only has five Beast Husbands right now, right? What’s her type? If Yuan Shiyao isn’t going to step up, let my cousin have a go. Just need Ye Linyuan to write me a letter of recommendation.]

[You’re all just being Monday-morning quarterbacks. It’s not like we didn’t see how she used to act. It would’ve been weirder if he had said yes back then.]

[Can the Melt Star Association stop posting these whitewashing threads? You’re even dragging Senior Yuan into this. The guy’s unlucky enough as it is. He rejected her long ago, and she still threw herself at him.]

As the argument heated up, an account with the ID ”AttachedToBai” posted a jarringly out-of-place comment: [This kind of trash can only fool you ignorant lot. This b**** is nothing but a w****, completely shameless.]

The message was deleted just a second after it was posted.

But someone still took a screenshot and made a new post: [Isn’t this Bai Yiyi’s account?]

This time, the forum completely exploded. The comments under the post were all in disbelief:

[Did this girl go crazy because she failed her Superpower assessment?]

[But she’s usually so nice to Jiang Qingli. This has to be photoshopped, right?]

[Just how vulgar was it for the system to censor it all...]

[@StudentCouncilGals, your vice president is on the loose. Get her under control.]

Bai Yiyi had always presented a gentle and pleasant image at the academy. She wasn’t the most competent member of the Student Council, but because of her good personality, she was still very popular.

No one expected her to post such a disgustingly vulgar comment. The onlookers flooded in, wave after wave, and the post accumulated several hundred replies in under ten minutes.

But before long, the post was deleted.

At the same time, Bai Yiyi posted an update on her social media account: [Maliciously photoshopped pictures are so scary. I hope everyone protects themselves while surfing the web. Don’t believe or spread rumors [Cute]]

She had many friends, and the comments below were all supportive.

But soon, another post popped up on the forum: [Deleting the post to shut me up is one thing, but now you’re accusing me of starting rumors? Come see the truth.]

The poster was the one who made the initial post. They used technical means to restore the thread, and also restored the content of Bai Yiyi’s comment.

This time, the forum truly exploded!

[Holy crap, she’s a master of deception! Why isn’t she an actress?!]

[Usually so calm and composed, but in reality, she was probably grinding her teeth to dust watching Jiang Qingli become the acting president.]

[Last year when someone was flaming Jiang Qingli on the forum, she even liked the post. Said her finger slipped. Did her finger slip over this many words this time, too?]

[Don’t~ believe~ rumors~ don’t~ spread~ rumors~]

Bai Yiyi sat by Chi Yun’s hospital bed, looking at all the shocked and sarcastic comments under the post, so angry she was about to faint.

Today, the system said it needed to collect Chi Yun’s data, which was why she came to the hospital.

She had just finished when she saw the post.

’Just because I forgot to post anonymously, these people are making such a big deal out of it!’

Furious, Bai Yiyi slapped Chi Yun, and the impact made a heavy SMACK.

After venting her anger, Bai Yiyi glanced guiltily at the heart monitor. Seeing that it was still flatlining, her eyes suddenly darted around.

She took out Chi Yun’s terminal and posted an update in his name, saying he had used the wrong account and posted the message by mistake. Then, she immediately commented with her own account, acting magnanimous and apologizing to Jiang Qingli at the same time.

After all, it was common knowledge that Chi Yun hated Jiang Qingli.

After doing all this, Bai Yiyi checked Chi Yun’s bank account, transferred the monthly living expenses from the Chi Family to her own account, and left breezily.

As she left, she still felt indignant and couldn’t help but curse Jiang Qingli a few times.

What Bai Yiyi didn’t notice was...

At the mention of Jiang Qingli’s name, the eyelashes of Chi Yun, who was lying on the bed, twitched, and the heart monitor suddenly showed a spike.

Jiang Qingli had just walked out of the Melt Star Building when she learned about the series of events on the forum.

Lin Xiyue, who had come by to see her, animatedly recounted the whole affair, then collapsed onto her shoulder, laughing. ”How could she not even know how to post anonymously? So stupid!”

”She must have been furious,” Jiang Qingli said. She could just imagine how enraged and frustrated Bai Yiyi must have looked.

Lin Xiyue said, ”Seeing so many people on the forum flaming her, I finally feel that satisfaction you get when someone you hate gets exposed.”

The two of them walked along a wooded path, under the shade of the trees.

Jiang Qingli’s terminal vibrated a few times.

Cat Teacher: [Female master, I’m done. Shall we go home together?]

Yuan Shiyao also sent a message: [Sister-in-law, Ke An is holding a party. Interested? I’ll come pick you up.]

The two brothers’ messages appeared at almost the same time, leaving Jiang Qingli a little conflicted.

Just as she tapped into Yuan Shimo’s chat window, she heard another DING.

A contact saved as ”Bad Fox” sent a message: [I heard from a colleague on set that there’s a pretty good restaurant for couples. Baby, want to go try it together? [Address]]

Lin Xiyue tutted, ”Look at you, Miss Popular~”

Jiang Qingli’s face grew a little hot. She hesitated for a few seconds, then remembered it was Tuesday, which was Baili Jing’s turn. So, she gave Baili Jing an affirmative reply, then switched out and tactfully declined the Yuan brothers.

Just as she was about to send a message asking Baili Jing where he was, she suddenly heard a clear voice.

”Senior, can we talk?”

Jiang Qingli looked up and saw a boy with a clean and fresh-faced look, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, standing in front of them with a red face.

She subconsciously assumed he was there for Lin Xiyue, so she took a step to the side and continued editing her message.

[I’m next to the Achievement Building. Where are]

Before she could finish the message, she suddenly heard the boy stammer, ”S-Senior Jiang, I... I... I... I came to see you...”

Caught off guard, her finger twitched and the message sent.

Jiang Qingli wanted to finish it, but the boy in the white T-shirt was staring at her so intently that it felt rude to keep texting, so she put her terminal away.

”Did you need me for something?” Jiang Qingli asked politely.

”Um, Senior Jiang, I... I’m from the art academy. My name is Lu Qian, and I’m a member of the Student Council. I was at the meeting this morning, too...” the boy said, not very smoothly, while scratching the back of his head.

Jiang Qingli was puzzled. ”Does the Student Council need something from me?”

The boy met her gaze, and his voice trembled even more. ”It’s not the Student Council... It’s, um, I... I have something I want to say to you...”

As he spoke, he shot a pleading look at Lin Xiyue, who was standing beside them.

Lin Xiyue wasn’t an idiot. Seeing this, she was so embarrassed her toes could have carved a castle into the ground.

’Damn, this is the prelude to a confession!’

’Should I leave or not?’

Lin Xiyue’s gaze drifted around aimlessly, then her eyes suddenly widened—

To her front left, Baili Jing was approaching with an elegant and unhurried gait, but the curve of his lips was sinking slightly;

To her front right, Gu Nian was holding a gift box, coldly staring at Lu Qian’s face;

And looking back, she came face to face with the two Yuan brothers’ gloomy, turquoise eyes...
