Chapter 1407 - 277: Lofty as Mountains, Lowly as Dust
An Ying couldn’t believe it: "Impossible, my daughter would never do such a thing."
Zhuang Xiyue furrowed her brows. Although it was just the words of this girl, there’s no smoke without fire. This Ye Yuwei herself probably wasn’t very discrete. Besides, it’s not that she’s being discriminatory, but what can a girl from such a school learn from mixing with that dirty entertainment circle?
Wang Xue noticed Zhuang Xiyue’s expression, her lips slightly curled up. As she’d said, with a family background like this woman’s, there’s no way she’d accept such a daughter. It’s best if she gives up on Ye Yuwei, then she can take advantage of the situation...
Seeing An Ying’s utterly unbelieving expression, Wang Xue decided to hit harder. Hesitating a little, she said, "Actually, there’s another version going around. It is said that a wife of an heir from a wealthy family couldn’t conceive, so they chose Student Ye as the surrogate. Not only would there be a very generous reward, but she might also replace the wife and become the lady of the house..."
"Impossible." An Ying stood up instantly, glaring fiercely at Wang Xue. "My daughter would never do such a lowly thing. You’re definitely slandering her."
Wang Xue was startled inside but feigned grievance on her face: "Madam, you can’t falsely accuse people. None of this is without basis; basically, everyone at school knows. I warned you before that you might be upset. Had I known, I would have kept it from you."
Mo Pianpian was a bit tongue-tied. Could it be? Could her own sister really do such things? It’s simply—indescribable.
An Ying would never believe her daughter would do something like this. Even if it were true, it’s definitely not as they said. There must be some compelling reason...
Director Luo coughed: "Alright, Student Wang, hand over the materials and you may leave." Why say so much to this madam? It just makes people think that students at their film academy do nothing but spread gossip all day.
"Yes." Wang Xue placed the materials on the desk and then said to An Ying, "Madam, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things. It’s all just baseless student chatter. Please don’t think too much about it. I believe Student Ye will understand your intentions in the end."
If she really understood her intentions, why would she hide after being found? This only proves Ye Yuwei is guilty, afraid to meet her biological parents. But why would she be afraid? An Ying almost didn’t dare to think further.
Wang Xue sighed and walked out.
Having failed in finding the person, An Ying came out with red eyes. Mo Pianpian supported her, helplessly saying, "Mom, don’t be upset, sister will definitely come back."
Zhuang Xiyue consoled, "Yes, don’t overthink, it’s all just the one-sided words of that girl. We need to investigate personally to know the truth."
As they just walked out of the building, a gentle, serene figure emerged from behind a tree. Though not exactly a great beauty, her smile was undeniably pleasant.
It was Wang Xue.
Wang Xue came over and said, "Madam, don’t be too sad. I was very close with Yuwei at school. She’s a very kind person, and I also believe she wouldn’t do such shameless things. Don’t worry, I’ll mobilize all my classmates and friends to look for her. As soon as there’s news, I’ll inform you. It’s really unexpected that Yuwei has such a beautiful and elegant mother, making people envious. However, Yuwei has had a hard life, and now that she’s found her biological parents, she won’t have to suffer as much anymore."
Wang Xue’s words were very comforting, at least to An Ying, who was very receptive to this kind of talk. She held Wang Xue’s hand, gratefully saying, "It’s Yuwei’s blessing to have such a good classmate like you. Please, tell me, how has Yuwei been doing?"
Seeing she’d achieved her goal, a hint of a smile flashed in Wang Xue’s eyes. Holding An Ying’s hand, they walked and talked. "Yuwei is very beautiful. On her first day at school, she was voted the school beauty. I was the student council president and was the one who officially welcomed her that day. She’s not only beautiful but also very nice. All the upperclassmen and underclassmen like her a lot. Let me tell you, in our school, if you lined up all the boys who have a crush on her, they could circle the campus. But Yuwei has high standards and never pays them any mind. And I also think those boys aren’t worthy of Yuwei..."
These words from Wang Xue inadvertently painted Ye Yuwei in a bad light. While appearing to praise Ye Yuwei, it actually suggested that Ye Yuwei attracts too much male attention, giving the direct impression that instead of being outstanding, she was like a vixen...
