Shi Sheng swallowed the pills and capsules in several batches. After finishing a bottle of oral supplement, she finally replied, “I’m fine. These are just health supplements.”
The words health supplements instantly plunged all the teachers present into silence.
Did health supplements really require taking so many kinds at once?
Or were they simply behind the times?
And since when were students this young so focused on health preservation?
Still, seeing that Shi Sheng’s complexion looked perfectly normal, they didn’t press further.
But two hours later, as they looked at the accuracy rates on her exam papers, the teachers fell into silence for the second time that day.
While they hurried to finish grading, photos of Shi Sheng began spreading rapidly across the university forum.
A: Photo. Photo..Photo…
A: Oh my god, the quality of this year’s freshmen is unreal. She looks like Nuwa personally crafted her favorite daughter! The kind of beauty with zero flaws from every angle!
B: After seeing the photos, I don’t dare comment lightly. I’m afraid my vulgar words would tarnish such rare beauty in this world. But I still have to comment I’d regret it for life if I didn’t leave something under photos this beautiful.
C: As a mud-figure myself, I’ve already started crying quietly. There are so many beautiful people in the world what’s one more like me anyway?
D: I’m afraid Bai the campus belle’s title might not be secure anymore~
A: Guaranteed. I’ve seen the junior in person. When Bai the campus belle stands next to her don’t blame me for being blunt they’re not even in the same league.
D: Latest news: not only is she gorgeous, she’s also this year’s top scorer in the college entrance exam!
C: Bai the campus belle is probably crying in the bathroom right now…
Although the post drew plenty of discussion, Huada University was full of top-tier talents. After the initial novelty wore off, most people simply moved on.
Until an hour later, a new thread quietly appeared on the forum:
“Let’s Expose the Shameless Acts of the New Campus Belle, Fake Heiress Shi Sheng, Who Stole Someone Else’s Life for Eighteen Years.”
The moment it was posted, it shot straight to the top.
Loving gossip was practically written into people’s DNA.
Simply looking at a beauty could get tiresome. But watching drama surrounding a beauty? That never got old.
A: No way. The new campus belle has such a huge scandal?
B: Is this real? Or is someone just spreading rumors out of jealousy?
C: Is this a novel coming to life?
D: OP, where are you? Can you elaborate? We’re waiting.
Meanwhile, Shi Sheng had just received her graded papers.
More than a dozen teachers stared blankly at the near-perfect scores across almost every subject, then looked at Shi Sheng calmly sipping goji berry tea. For a moment, none of them knew what to say.
Who would believe that a freshman’s exam scores were actually higher than the average of the entire grade?
A female teacher frowned slightly. “Student Shi, with your academic performance, you shouldn’t have waited until this year to take the college entrance exam. Usually, a genius like you would have gone to a special advanced youth program.”
At the words advanced youth program, Shi Sheng’s expression paused ever so slightly.
She had once been recommended by her homeroom teacher.
But within a week, that teacher was in a car accident both hands fractured, tendons injured forced to give up teaching forever.
This had been the most serious incident to happen to anyone around her.
Compared to that, the previous incidents had only been minor troubles.
Back then, she had only been a middle school student. Her own business empire hadn’t yet taken shape. Even though she knew the Shi couple was behind it, she had no power to do anything.
She had tried calling the police.
But Shi Mingqian was far too practiced at handling such matters so practiced that not a shred of evidence could be found.
From that day on, she began isolating herself. She stopped interacting with others, stopped making friends, and poured immense energy into building her own enterprises.
By the time she had the ability to act, too much time had already passed.
Still, it didn’t matter.
She had quietly brought down two subsidiaries of the Shi family.
Perhaps even now, that couple had no idea she was the mastermind.
As for that homeroom teacher, she had arranged for the best hospital, the best doctors, and the best medication.
Rehabilitation had already begun.
The female teacher noticed Shi Sheng’s silence and sensed there must be hidden circumstances, so she didn’t probe further.
At least it wasn’t too late.
After all, gold will shine wherever it is.
At this moment, Shi Sheng had no idea that He Qiuqiu who had supposedly gone to the studio was now rolling up her sleeves, nearly getting into a fight.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Believe it or not, I’ll tear your mouths apart!”
After resolving the studio issue, He Qiuqiu had rushed back to campus around noon to take Shi Sheng out for lunch.
If she didn’t intervene, Shi Sheng would probably make do with just a cup of water.
But the moment she entered campus, she heard whispers.
At first, she didn’t think much of it. University campuses were always full of gossip, and sometimes she enjoyed it herself.
But the more she listened, the more wrong it sounded.
And the moment she heard Shi Sheng’s name mentioned, her anger flared instantly.
The girl He Qiuqiu grabbed initially looked embarrassed, but at the harsh tone, her temper rose too.
“What did I say that’s wrong? Didn’t she steal someone else’s wealthy life for eighteen years? The post has blown up! If you’re unhappy, go argue with the one who posted it!”
A boy nearby muttered, “I don’t think the post is necessarily fake. Just look at Shi Sheng’s face you can tell she’s scheming. Otherwise how could she latch onto a rich sponsor immediately after being kicked out of her home?”
Their argument grew loud, and since many students had read the post, a crowd quickly formed three layers deep inside and out.
Someone pointed at He Qiuqiu. “They weren’t even talking about her. Why is she so worked up? Maybe the post is true.”
“I think so too. Birds of a feather flock together. Just look at how she dresses Shi Sheng can’t be much better.”
“People these days you really can’t judge by appearances. So beautiful on the outside, but rotten inside.”
“Who knows how someone like that even got into our university? Maybe her grades were fake too?”
