Chapter 55 Ugly Duckling's Rise to Power: She Squeezes Out the School Beauty and Becomes a Coup
Mu Wanwan's eyes, which were already full of doubt and fear, were now wide open in astonishment, staring intently at the person who had spoken.
Her breath seemed to be abruptly choked in that instant, as if a huge rock was blocking her throat, making it impossible for her to utter a sound.
After a while, the rapid breathing gradually returned to normal, but the panic in her heart did not diminish at all.
At this moment, her mind was in complete chaos, and all she could do was hold tightly to Ye Xingchen's arm, as if it were her last lifeline in this chaotic world.
Tears welled in her eyes, filled with endless grievance and resentment. She said to Ye Xingchen, each word deliberate and forced, "Xingchen, I really didn't steal the chocolate! I really didn't! Waaah..."
The hand holding Ye Xingchen trembled slightly, as if trying to convey her innocence and purity to him in this way.
Her gaze remained fixed on Ye Xingchen's face. Although his glasses were already blurred with chocolate, making her vision hazy, she still stared intently, desperately trying to defend herself, her voice filled with pleading: "You know, I didn't steal the chocolate, sob sob...!"
A hint of heartache and determination flashed in his eyes. He gently raised his hand and stroked Mu Wanwan's head repeatedly, a gesture that was both tender and comforting.
He lowered his head and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, of course I know you didn't steal it! No matter what happens, I will be by your side to support you." His words were like a warm current, slowly flowing into Mu Wanwan's heart, gradually calming her panicked heart.
Lin Jingya slowly turned around, her eyes flashing with a hint of doubt and concern. The way she softly asked her friend Yan Xiyue behind her seemed to carry a faint worry.
Yan Xiyue leaned down slightly and whispered in Lin Jingya's ear, as if telling her a secret, explaining the whole story to her in detail.
Lin Jingya listened quietly, her expression gradually becoming serious. Then she nodded slightly, indicating that she roughly understood the situation.
Lin Jingya straightened up and stood out with a calm and firm posture. Her bright eyes revealed an undeniable authority as she said loudly, "Xingchen, this matter concerns someone's innocence. We must investigate it thoroughly and we absolutely cannot wrong an innocent person because of a temporary misunderstanding."
Yan Xiyue chimed in from behind, "Class monitor, Mu Wanwan is an outright thief. Her act of stealing constitutes a crime. Our school must not tolerate such lawbreakers. I strongly demand that we report this to the school and expel her from our class to prevent her from becoming a major stain on our class and tarnishing our honor."
At this moment, Ye Xingchen glared fiercely at Yan Xiyue, his eyes filled with fury.
He had never felt anything was wrong when his classmates verbally attacked or isolated Mu Wanwan. But today, his indignation, coupled with pity for her being bullied by her classmates, made him feel incredibly ironic.
He had clearly given her that box of chocolates, and repeatedly told her to eat one if she had low blood sugar, but now she was being falsely accused of stealing it! He was furious and determined to get justice for Mu Wanwan.
"It's not certain who made a mistake yet! Don't be too sure of yourself, Yan. If you're proven wrong later, you'll have to kneel down and apologize to Mu Wanwan, then pick up all the chocolates on the ground and eat them all."
The calm and firm tone in his voice seemed to have a powerful deterrent effect on Yan Xiyue, causing her usually eloquent tongue to suddenly become tied in knots, and she stammered, "It's true, she is, she is a thief."
Ye Xingchen merely frowned slightly, completely unconcerned by Yan Xiyue's accusation. He lowered his head, his eyes filled with tenderness, and gently pulled Mu Wanwan into his arms, softly comforting her, "Let me help you up and sit down first. Leave everything to me, don't be afraid, okay?"
She had never seen Ye Xingchen like this before, and a strange sense of security welled up in her heart. At this moment, all she could do was trust him completely without reservation.
"Ok!"
She nodded vigorously, tears welling in her eyes.
Under the curious and puzzled gazes of everyone, Ye Xingchen seemed oblivious to the strange looks around him, and gently picked Mu Wanwan up from the ground, his movements as tender as if he were holding a fragile treasure.
Then, he turned away from the crowd, gently placed Mu Wanwan in his seat, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Wanwan's tears flowed like a burst dam again. She sobbed and lowered her head, choking out, "My back hurts, and my legs hurt so much!"
His heart clenched, a strong pang of heartache surged within him, and he desperately wanted to check on Mu Wanwan's injuries immediately. But as soon as he reached out his hand, he suddenly realized that they were in a classroom.
Only he could know Mu Wanwan's beauty and fragility, and she must not be easily spied on or harmed by these irrelevant people.
He crouched down and slowly lifted her skirt a little, revealing only a sliver of her calf. A dark purple mark appeared on her leg, looking out of place on her pink calves.
He jumped up and rushed straight towards Yan Xiyue.
MD Mu Wanwan's skin was all pink and tender, how dare these people hurt her!
If Mu Wanwan is to be bullied, only he can do it; what kind of bastards are they?
"Jingya, save me!"
Lin Jingya was extremely anxious, and her already tense expression became even more strained. She quickly pulled Yan Xiyue tightly behind her, forming a protective wall around her.
She shoved Ye Xingchen with both hands, trying her best to separate him from Yan Xiyue. Her eyes were full of pleading, and she said with a hint of entreaty, "Xingchen, give me some face, don't be impulsive."
Meanwhile, the pig on the side, with a disdainful expression, sat contemptuously on its owner's lap, seemingly already aware of the situation.
It tilted its head, looked at its master with its clever little eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Master, do you think Ye Xingchen will give Lin Jingya face?"
Seeing this, Mu Wanwan shook her head helplessly, indicating that she didn't know how much Lin Jingya's face was worth.
However, the next second, she suddenly lost control of her emotions and cried even louder, tears streaming down her cheeks as if she wanted to pour out all the pain in her heart.
