Chapter 1238 - 1227: Never Suffer in Silence
"That Gu Xiaotong really did me a big favor." Ye Qiu muttered to herself while looking at the forum.
That day, having nothing to do, she casually browsed several sites that Gu Xiaotong frequently visited, and then she found this forum. Although the main character had a new name and some plots were changed, she knew it was talking about Xie Lizzi.
The post portrayed Xie Lizzi as an arrogant, domineering, and wildly egotistical rich Eldest Lady, while the author herself was forced to endure indignities for the sake of livelihood as a follower.
Because the story mentioned was so infuriating, the respondents below found it hard to believe it had actually happened; most treated it as a fictional story.
However, Ye Qiu seriously replied anonymously: "Why is the main character Xie Zili so similar to Xie Lizzi from our school? Is the author Xie Lizzi?"
The post was popular, so someone replied immediately: "Really? Are these events true? Is there actually such a wicked person in the world? Which university is upstairs from?"
"I don’t dare say about other things, but the last story just happened at our school the day before yesterday, the victim almost got ruined. The main character conspired with the victim’s adoptive mother to falsely accuse the victim, and many witnessed it. The adoptive mother was expelled from the school the very day; I’m definitely not lying," Ye Qiu replied calmly.
Then another person chimed in: "Since it’s the adoptive mother of the victim, why would she join forces with the protagonist of the post?"
"Why else, the adoptive mother got pregnant with her own daughter after adopting the victim, and by regulation couldn’t send the victim back. Isn’t it bothersome to keep someone eating idle meals at home? Heard the protagonist gave the adoptive mother some money solely to ruin the victim."
"Was it really just for a spot? That’s too awful!"
"It seems there’s more gossip at our school that it was all for a man, the campus God at our school. God liked the victim, the protagonist got jealous, and even had a falling-out with our campus God right then!"
"Seriously? Typical novel-like plot, didn’t the victim then feel grateful and throw herself into the arms of your school’s God?"
"Upstairs is overthinking, the victim is a top student, focused only on studies, rejected that God." Ye Qiu replied, expressionless.
"Since that’s the case, what you said upstairs doesn’t quite match what the author wrote, why do you claim the protagonist is the one you know?"
"Naturally, because I heard things about other matters as well, and the fate of those two girls is exactly as described here, a coincidence? You wait, I’ll forward this post to our school to see what everyone thinks."
By doing this, the curious netizens who had been waiting for the truth were particularly eager. If all these things were true, just how bad could the protagonist of these stories be?
"Which university is upstairs? Shall we take a look too?"
"If by chance it isn’t true, but I said it like this, it wouldn’t be good. Please hang on, if it is true, my classmates will also come to speak through the website." Ye Qiu responded politely.
Others expressed understanding: "After all, it’s students. It’s indeed troublesome if it causes an impact."
"Then we’ll wait, but if it’s all true, we should right the wrongs of those victims."
"Exactly, waiting for the truth."
"What if the author notices something amiss and deletes the post?"
"We’ll screenshot everything and repost. When the time comes, everyone will support it. Can she really delete my post?"
"That’s not certain; don’t forget how influential the protagonist Xie Zili is in these stories."
"How influential? I don’t believe she can overpower us united netizens!"
"Makes sense, then we wait for the truth."
Gu Xiaotong still didn’t know that turmoil had broken out at her backyard; a post quietly exploded among students at University A, be it in classrooms, canteens, or dormitories, groups of people would gather, discussing passionately over their phones.
Some were especially attentive to Xie Lizzi, already noticing that the events in the post were likely related to what they knew, while others who didn’t follow Xie Lizzi, certainly recognized the victims described!
One or two incidents could be coincidental, but so many coincidences? Plus, the post’s author claiming they were a follower paralleled Gu Xiaotong significantly.
What made University A’s students most impressed was the last incident, seeing it unfold live and then witnessing Gu Xiaotong recounting the facts, it felt like they’d been deceived by Xie Lizzi, letting down Ye Qiu. Even those absent from the scene, after hearing about it and reading the post, were equally outraged.
Among them were also friends of other victims, filled with indignation. They used to think their friends were simply unfortunate, who would have thought Xie Lizzi was involved? How could one be so reprehensible?
Is it amazing to have a good family background? Does a good family allow one to act without bounds? What’s the point of law then?
Consequently, thousands of students instantly left comments under Gu Xiaotong’s post, while some directly contacted Xie Group’s official site questioning whether they had properly regulated their heir and accepted appropriate social responsibility.
With the discussions from University A’s students, this post became thoroughly viral, where the stories inside no longer needed to be fiction—they were all true, and even victims stepped forward, vowing to sue Xie Lizzi.
Is it possible for Gu Xiaotong, the post’s author, not to know how big things had gotten, how viral the post was?
No, she knew. Logging into her account this morning almost scared her to death—how did so many replies appear suddenly? Why so many comments from University A students? How did they know who the author was? How did they recognize Xie Lizzi as the post’s protagonist?
Without much thought, Gu Xiaotong realized that once Xie Lizzi knew about the post, there would be consequences for her. She knew deleting the post might provoke a stronger backlash, but after hesitating for a long time she deleted it anyway.
What if things don’t escalate? Without deleting the post, Xie Lizzi definitely wouldn’t forgive her, deleting it could still be a gamble, maybe everyone would forget in a few days.
Yet she overlooked one thing—the incident involving Ye Qiu had occurred just two days ago; it was still in the fermentation phase. Many feeling guilty about Ye Qiu were desperate to do something to salvage their dignity, along with other victims and their friends—they wouldn’t let it pass this easily.
Initially, she hadn’t done anything wrong, suddenly encountering such a calamity, who wouldn’t feel wronged? Ignorance before was one thing, but now that they know, could they remain silent?
