Chapter 69 Ugly Duckling's Rise to Power: She Squeezes Out the School Beauty and Becomes a Coup
Chapter 69 Ugly Duckling's Rise to Power: She Squeezes Out the School Beauty and Becomes a Coup
She suddenly raised one hand, her slender fingers trembling as she pointed at Ye Xingchen and Tan Qingping in front of her. Her lips, painted with bright red lipstick, opened and closed, and she began to ramble incoherently.
"Hmph, I really don't know what kind of seductive tricks that Mu Wanwan used to get the two of you to stand up for her at the same time!"
Great! That's great!
I used to think of you guys as men of taste and discernment.
I can't believe your tastes are so terrible! How could you possibly find a woman as ugly as her appealing?
Lin Jingya screamed and glared at the two people in front of her with a venomous look.
Ye Xingchen was already furious, his face flushed red, and the veins on his neck bulged out like ferocious earthworms.
His eyes were wide open, burning with rage, and his teeth were grinding together.
Unable to tolerate Lin Jingya's unreasonable words any longer, he lunged forward and knocked Lin Jingya aside, who was blocking his way.
Just as the two brushed past each other, Ye Xingchen lowered his voice and squeezed out a chilling warning through gritted teeth: "Lin Jingya, I advise you to watch your mouth! I made it very clear last time that Mu Wanwan is someone I'm protecting."
You should know my temper. I've never liked fighting with women, but if you continue to provoke me like this, I might just rip your filthy mouth off!
Although his voice was not loud, it was full of threat and chill, as if it could penetrate one's soul and reach the deepest part of one's heart.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingya involuntarily paused, a look of astonishment and fear flashing across her face.
But she quickly regained her composure, glared fiercely at Ye Xingchen, and muttered defiantly, "You...you dare!"
However, she already knew in her heart that if she continued to provoke Ye Xingchen, he probably wouldn't let it go.
Under the curious and inquisitive gazes of everyone, Lin Jingya felt like she was being pricked by thorns. Her heart was filled with grievance and resentment, but she was helpless and could only return to her seat in a huff.
She lowered her head silently, like a wounded little animal, without uttering a word.
At the same time, Ye Xingchen deftly placed the book in his hand on the table next to Mu Wanwan, then reached out and pulled out the chair, before sitting down steadily.
And so, he naturally became the first person in the class to successfully change seats.
Surprisingly, after Ye Xingchen sat down, he did not rush to Mu Wanwan's side to talk to her as others had expected. Instead, he appeared calm and composed, and began to slowly organize his books.
Mu Wanwan had just suffered a humiliation, and although she tried her best to remain calm, she could not hide the embarrassment and shame on her face.
After all, she wasn't the original owner, so naturally she couldn't remain completely unmoved.
Suddenly, Mu Wanwan stood up and prepared to walk outside.
Seeing this, Ye Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in his deep, magnetic voice, "Where are you going?"
Upon hearing the question, Mu Wanwan trembled. She didn't dare to look up at Ye Xingchen, but lowered her head and answered in a slightly trembling voice, "Restroom...excuse me."
After saying that, she bit her lip tightly, as if she was trying her best to control some emotion.
After hearing this, Ye Xingchen didn't say anything more. He simply placed the books he was organizing on the table, then slowly stood up and pushed his chair further in to make way for Mu Wanwan.
Lin Jingya, who had been secretly observing the situation, caught a glimpse of Mu Wanwan walking out of the classroom out of the corner of her eye.
So she quickly pretended to be nonchalant and followed him out the door.
Mu Wanwan went straight to the sink, turned on the tap, and let the icy water flow out.
She cupped her hands in cool water and splashed it on her face without hesitation.
Water droplets slid down her cheeks and dripped into the sink with a crisp sound. Standing beside her, Piggy looked at Mu Wanwan in the mirror with heartache and said indignantly, "Master, when are you finally going to show your true face? Give that wicked woman Lin Jingya a good slap in the face! I can't stand seeing her bully you like this anymore!"
She had imagined countless times how wonderful it would be to show her true self.
However, reality often falls short of expectations, and the reasons why he always wore those thick glasses were complex.
On the one hand, it was because Ye Xingchen was adamant about not allowing her to regain her original beautiful appearance; on the other hand, it was because as long as she stayed at home, it was fine as long as she didn't deliberately make herself look ugly, but once she stepped out of the house, that inexplicable feeling of discomfort would follow her like a shadow.
"Piggy, could you please investigate this more carefully for me? What were the specific reasons that the original owner chose to disguise himself as ugly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Piggy immediately took action and quickly began the investigation. Not long after, Piggy sent a message: "Master, we've found the specific cause."
Upon hearing this news, Mu Wanwan stared intently at herself in the mirror, gently patting her cheeks, trying to snap herself out of her shock and confusion.
Then, she eagerly pressed on, "Tell me quickly! Didn't you say last time that the original owner had been bullied? But what kind of bullying was it?!"
Piggy took a deep breath and slowly said, "The original owner was extremely cute and charming when she was a child. She was like a delicate porcelain doll and was the focus of everyone's love wherever she went."
But who would have thought that a man with ulterior motives would set his sights on her?
That man, in a depraved manner, kidnapped the young original owner of the body, attempting to commit the heinous crime of assault against her.
Fortunately, her parents discovered their daughter was missing immediately and launched a full-scale search.
Ultimately, they successfully located the original owner, preventing the tragedy from escalating further.
That despicable man naturally couldn't escape the law; he was arrested on the spot and sentenced to a heavy prison term. Judging by the timeline, he should be released soon after serving his sentence…”
Mu Wanwan trembled violently, like a startled rabbit, and thought to herself, "Am I really going to be released?"
"Yes Master!"
Mu Wanwan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Things might not be as bad as she imagined. Didn't she still have Ye Xingchen by her side? If anything happened, he would definitely protect her. Thinking of this, Mu Wanwan felt a little more at ease.
She turned around and took a step, only to find her path blocked. Lin Jingya stood there with her arms crossed, her face full of anger, blocking her way.
"Mu Wanwan!" Lin Jingya shouted loudly, her voice filled with anger and hostility.
Startled, Mu Wanwan took another step back, ending up leaning against the sink counter behind her.
