Xu Jingran saw an anonymous email in her inbox.
It contained an audio recording.
When she played it, she heard Lu Ran saying, “How is that possible? I’m just playing. We made a bet before. I said I could chase her… Xu Jingran loves me very much…”
“Just playing…”
Xu Jingran’s finger paused on the email, feeling troubled.
She already knew this in her heart.
Why send it to her?
Playing around.
She was also just playing.
Only by pretending not to know could the game continue.
Why expose it?
Xu Jingran replied to the email. Her beautiful face looked thoughtful.
“Who are you? These are fake. I don’t believe it. Lu Ran loves me very much.
I… I also love Lu Ran. This must be AI. Don’t try to break our relationship.”
Xu Jingran was not stupid.
If she believed it, she would lose her boyfriend.
A boyfriend who was 187 cm tall, mixed Chinese and German, handsome, and had eight-pack abs.
She loved Lu Ran.
Deeply loved— his money and his abs.
Jiang Si felt annoyed. Why was Xu Jingran so innocent?
And she loved Lu Ran so much.
Lu Ran was really lucky.
AI had even come out to help him. He should thank AI for saving his life.
Jiang Si was upset when his twin brother, Jiang Lijin, appeared behind him with a disdainful look.
“Why do you like that kind of low-class person?”
People like her were not in their social class.
Jiang Si respected his brother a little but also disliked him.
He admitted Jiang Lijin was smarter and had already taken over part of the family business.
But Jiang Lijin was very cunning.
“I just saw Lu Ran kiss her. It looked good, so I want to try. It’s not love.”
Jiang Si explained, “Brother, you know I don’t like Lu Ran. I just want to take what he has.”
A man’s desire to win sometimes shows through women.
Jiang Lijin stepped forward and held his shoulder. “I’ll help you. You can taste her.”
Jiang Si’s eyes lit up. If his brother helped, it would almost certainly succeed.
“Brother, don’t you want to try?”
Since childhood, they had shared good things with each other.
They also liked to switch identities and trick foolish adults.
Even now, they sometimes exchange identities.
Watching people fail to recognize them and get fooled made them laugh.
“I’m not interested in this kind of thing, and I’m even less interested in dirty low-class people.”
Jiang Lijin was extremely proud and arrogant.
He had the right to be proud. The Jiang family had nearly six hundred years of wealth and controlled industries like medicine, film, and entertainment. They were one of the top financial families.
Jiang Si shrugged helplessly. “Alright.”
In this entrance exam, Xu Jingran was first place again.
Everyone in the class was already used to it.
Since she entered the school, she had always been first.
That was also why the F5 noticed her.
Xu Jingran sent her score report and ranking to Lu Ran.
Whale Baby: 【Image (Boyfriend, I’m first place again this time.)】
Whale Baby: 【Praise me please (little rabbit sending hearts)】
Lu Ran: 【Transfer 52,000】
【Baby, you’re amazing!】
Xu Jingran accepted it happily.
Ignoring the talk about bets and “just playing,” this relationship still felt sweet.
Xu Jingran stood up and went to the restroom, already used to the looks people gave her on the way.
The moment she left, several people pushed into the classroom and looked at her with contempt.
They wore wrinkled uniforms and walked straight to the scholarship students in the class.
Xu Jingran looked up at the floating comments.
【A side character is still a side character. She’s not as popular as the female lead. Among the scholarship students, she’s a traitor.】
【Yes, no one in that group likes her. The female lead is the most popular.】
【When will the male leads interact with the female lead? I can’t wait.】
【Hurry and let Lu Ran break up with Xu Jingran. I want to see her lose control.】
【Quietly saying: I think Xu Jingran and Lu Ran are a good couple. She hides her face in his chest, he’s 187 cm… my favorite wolf and rabbit pairing. That size difference…】
Seeing the last line, Xu Jingran quickly looked away.
She wanted to know the future plot, not this kind of thing.
She had seen it before.
Lu Ran there…
really could be dangerous.
As for the scholarship student group, they had formed a club.
Members were not allowed to date or make friends with other students.
Their only goal was to get good grades until graduation.
They had invited Xu Jingran at first.
She was not interested and dated Lu Ran instead.
So she was called a traitor.
“It’s because of people like Xu Jingran that others look down on scholarship students.”
“They think we can be bought with money and date anyone. It’s all because of her!”
“Who knows how she got first place. Disgusting.”
“Liu Ruan, remember not to interact with her.”
Those scholarship students explained the situation to the new students.
Liu Ruan nodded. “Don’t worry. I won’t interact with her. We came here to study, not to date.”
“We are all poor, but that’s not our fault. Our souls are more noble than theirs.”
“They never worked for their money. Their wealth came without effort!”
Liu Ruan’s strong and determined look made the scholarship students applaud.
【This is the strong and pure female lead I love!】
【So touching. Compared to her, Xu Jingran is nothing.】
【This kind of personality is what attracts the male leads. Come love this strong female lead.】
【Xu Jingran has nothing except her face.】
Xu Jingran wanted to say, “Thank you for the compliment.”
The teacher walked in, knocked on the blackboard, and held a list.
“I will announce this year’s scholarship winners.”
The teacher glanced at Xu Jingran, who had just returned, and quickly looked away.
Every year there were ten scholarships, all for scholarship students.
The money was given to students who had good grades and were poor.
Only scholarship students met those conditions.
Xu Jingran received a scholarship every term.
The scholarship was 30,000.
She sat up straight, full of expectation.
The teacher read the names one by one. Xu Jingran’s name was not called.
Finally, the last name was read.
Everyone thought it would be Xu Jingran.
The teacher cleared his throat.
“The last scholarship goes to Liu Ruan. Let’s congratulate them.”
