Chapter 573: Follower
"I heard you were quite popular in class today." Zhao Xuran knew Gong Ruini was quite popular in class, but he didn’t expect her to be this popular.
Oh my gosh, the events of the morning had already reached Zhao Xuran’s ears, this guy’s connections at school were not bad at all.
In the elementary department, sixth graders are the teachers’ treasures, all hoping for them to achieve good results.
Especially with classes that have Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen, they are even more diligent. Although it’s only half a year, maybe they don’t have the chance to surpass the elite class, but they can still initiate a challenge.
It is said that the tension in sixth grade is as intense as the college entrance exam.
Although Gong Ruini felt such statements were greatly exaggerated, seeing Zhao Xuran and the others return exhausted every day indicated the pressure was not small.
"I’m really flattered, Brother Xuran. Aren’t you busy? How did you know about my movements?" Gong Ruini was worried about Zhao Xuran having spies around her.
Even if it was done with good intentions, it still felt unsettling to Gong Ruini.
His words seemed full of gratitude, but the more she listened, the more dissatisfied she felt. "These rumors have already spread to our sixth grade."
"They say that as soon as this important figure arrives at school, students from the elite class come to threaten you."
"It’s said you fainted as a result of being threatened."
"It’s said you fainted because someone from the elite class beat you up."
"It’s said you fainted because someone intimidated you."
No way, how could it be like this? Gong Ruini thought the content she heard in class before was like stories, and now it’s even more dizzying.
Ah, "Haven’t I explained it all already?" Gong Ruini knew that once those people described it like that, it would inevitably spread, there was no avoiding it.
But hadn’t she already further explained one or two things? How come her explanations weren’t spread, what’s going on?
That’s not right, Gong Ruini always felt something was wrong here, and it wasn’t a small problem, it was a big one.
"I just feel there’s a problem here."
Indeed, just hearing it, you know there’s a problem, thinking faster than Zhao Guangran.
Problem? Zhao Guangran thought these rumors weren’t wrong, after all, they did explain a bit, it’s just those words weren’t spread, which wasn’t their fault.
Even if Zhuge Mingshan really came to settle accounts and demand an explanation, Zhao Guangran wasn’t afraid. Didn’t they have so many classmates helping them explain?
"Do you know what to do next?" Since you know the problem, you should figure out a solution.
Sigh, a solution... Gong Ruini didn’t lack a solution, but she just felt unwilling and reluctant to do it.
But if she didn’t do it, what could she do? Let things get out of hand, wasn’t that exactly what someone wanted?
"Do you think this is her doing?" Self-disparaging isn’t impossible, after all, who wouldn’t think someone would reverse the situation like this to self-disparage.
"It probably wasn’t her. After all, she’s the main character in this matter. If someone leaks the news, her reputation would be ruined." Zhao Xuran considered for a long time before deciding to dismiss Zhuge Mingshan.
Was it really not her doing? Gong Ruini thought it wasn’t impossible, but since Zhao Xuran said so, there was no need to argue with him on the issue.
Zhao Guangran always felt he couldn’t talk with big brother and Gong Ruini together, it made him feel like an idiot, really an enormous pressure.
"Did you understand what my brother and Ni Zi said?" Zhao Guangran, to show that he’s still part of the living world and not the dumbest person, grabbed Gong Ruwen to ask.
He refused to believe he couldn’t compare to Gong Ruini and the others, surely he could compare against Gong Ruwen, he just didn’t believe Gong Ruwen understood.
Even though he hadn’t seen his whole brother quietly walking beside him, with his various anxious appearances towards Gong Ruini, surely he couldn’t be unconcerned or not ask a couple of questions, huh, surely he didn’t understand.
Looking at Zhao Guangran who insisted he answer, Gong Ruwen really wanted to say, wouldn’t this just reveal how dumb you are?
But words swallowed back, someone should be deeply impacted already, shouldn’t strike again at this time, "I know, I’ve discussed it with Xuran."
Ahhh, why even Gong Ruwen knows, Zhao Guangran expressed the blow isn’t ordinary small, he was unwilling to speak anymore, otherwise, there’d be no way to enjoyably continue being friends.
====
When Gong Ruini arrived at school, she went to the elite class early, and then she just stood at the classroom door, causing those discussing inside to stop.
One by one looked at Gong Ruini, all guessing why she came.
They had all heard the rumors outside, they were certainly supporting their classmates, and with Zhuge Mingshan’s various "white lily" defenses for Gong Ruini and the others, they were genuinely dissatisfied with Gong Ruini and the others.
They all felt Gong Ruini and the others were truly overstepping, so seeing Gong Ruini show up like this, their first reaction was someone came to pick on them.
Zhuge Mingshan saw Gong Ruini and knew she definitely didn’t come to hunt her down, but rather to explain a thing or two. However, looking at the surrounding people’s gazes, it was clear what they thought.
This made Zhuge Mingshan genuinely satisfied, no wonder she’d been brainwashing them for so long, but this was also good.
Some things should be done by these people standing up, it shouldn’t always be her personally leading the charge, that would make her look too unpolished.
"What are you doing?"
"Isn’t bullying Zhuge Mingshan enough? Do you have to chase her here?"
The main character didn’t come forward, surprisingly minions stepped up, Gong Ruini didn’t miss the sarcastic look Zhuge Mingshan gave, trying to provoke her.
After all, this many people, if one kid is really provoked by a few others’ words and additionally someone pushes her, she would likely explode, right?
Once she explodes, the whole thing would fall into Zhuge Mingshan’s pattern. Then, this apology trip would turn into a trip to the elite class to show off to Zhuge Mingshan.
But Gong Ruini wasn’t your ordinary person, how could she be scared by Zhuge Mingshan, as for those so-called classmates standing up for her, they were really nothing in Gong Ruini’s eyes.
"Why can’t I come to apologize?"
"Aren’t elite class students supposed to be excellent in all aspects?"
Gong Ruini scanned them, huh, "Didn’t expect it to be throwing various labels on me if there’s a disagreement."
"Saying isn’t enough, even getting hands-on, that’s the elite class students."
Gong Ruini noticed although there weren’t many people coming out to watch initially, it didn’t prevent people from watching, after all, where there’s spectacle, there will be people watching.
Huh, Zhuge Mingshan didn’t want to watch her go mad, did she?
Sorry, we’re ladies, how could we do such a stupid thing, on the contrary, who knows who’ll go mad.
