After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 21

Chapter 21

When Wen Yun saw the surveillance footage displayed on Ruan Yu’s phone, she was genuinely stunned.

She never expected that Ruan Yu had prepared in advance. The message Ruan Yu sent her on WeChat earlier was less a cry for help and more of a pre-emptive notification.

However, if the protagonist was a reborn person, it wasn’t surprising she could make such preparations, as she had already experienced the same event in her past life.

Ruan Yu held her phone and walked straight to the podium to operate the computer.

Wen Yun followed her, pulling down the whiteboard to reveal the projection screen.

“What are you doing?!” Zheng Jiafei realized something was wrong and tried to stop her, but the class president blocked her path.

“False accusation of theft is a crime!” the serious class president warned sternly.

Zheng Jiafei was anxious and angry. Just as she was about to retort, Luo Qin grabbed her arm. Startled, Zheng Jiafei turned her head and saw Luo Qin shaking her head.

Ruan Yu quickly imported the evidence from her phone to the computer and pressed the projector switch. The surveillance footage near her seat slowly became clear to everyone in the classroom.

—It was clearly Zheng Jiafei’s profile! Standing not far from her was Luo Qin!

The surveillance video was silent throughout but completely recorded the entire process of Zheng Jiafei and Luo Qin collaborating to hide the ID card in Ruan Yu’s school bag.

The already quiet classroom fell into a dead silence.

Wen Yun was inexplicably relieved that the students who stayed behind instead of going to the confirmation were mostly the clique of these two malicious girls. Playing this video was equivalent to slapping them in the face, showing them how poor their judgment of character was.

Then again, they might just be “birds of a feather,” as what kind of people you are will attract what kind of people.

Wen Yun saw that everyone present was silent. She glanced at the time, felt it was time to wrap things up, and calmly asked the bewildered Biology teacher, “Teacher, what is your stance on students forming cliques to frame and slander others?”

“This…” The Biology teacher instantly became the focus of attention and fell into an awkward silence. After a long time, he finally said, “This is no small matter. I hope it will be dealt with seriously. I’ve already notified your head teacher. Since the ID card has been recovered, you two should go to the auditorium for the in-person confirmation first!”

The air in the campus in mid-September was fragrant with the scent of osmanthus, but the afternoon sun was still scorching, baking the road with a stifling heat.

Ruan Yu continued to walk side-by-side with the person next to her, but her mind was elsewhere.

She had an inexplicable feeling that no matter what she did, this person would firmly stand by her side and would not be surprised by her actions.

She had observed carefully: this person was certainly stunned for a moment when she revealed her pre-installed surveillance camera, but she quickly regained her composure, didn’t question it, and even cooperated calmly in presenting the evidence.

She was able to make corresponding preparations in advance and face those who intended to harm her with composure because she was reborn and retained the memories of her past life. But what about this person?

A cascade of questions piled up in Ruan Yu’s mind. She wanted to ask them, but finally pursed her lips and walked silently.

Even if she asked, this person might not be able to answer truthfully due to some unspeakable difficulty.

Moreover, how should she ask?

If she accidentally exposed the fact that she was reborn, how would this person view her?

The girl’s mind was churning as they quickly arrived at the auditorium.

She remained silent, and Wen Yun was tactful enough not to inquire, accompanying her in silent walking.

Not everyone can reveal their wounds without hesitation and calmly face the people or events that hurt them in the past.

Class Nine’s in-person confirmation was already halfway through. When the two walked into the confirmation area of the auditorium, they saw the head teacher standing far from the line, talking on the phone. After hanging up, her expression immediately became subtle when their eyes met.

Seeing this, Wen Yun once again opened the Green Tea Talk template. Yet, the head teacher didn’t call them over until both she and Ruan Yu had confirmed their elective subjects. She then asked them to follow her back to the office.

“Before class this morning, you two were already at odds. Tell me, what exactly happened?” the head teacher asked on the way to the office.

This time, before Ruan Yu could speak, Wen Yun asked first: “Teacher, what kind of student do you think actively raises their hand to answer questions in class or volunteers to solve problems on the board?”

“That, of course, is a good student who dares to challenge themselves and sets an example for others,” the head teacher said without hesitation.

“But some people don’t think so! They form cliques to ridicule such a good student, calling her a ‘country bumpkin’ and a ‘selfish bookworm’! After being verbally countered, they were so angry that they even plotted to frame the good student for stealing and hiding their own ID card, taking advantage of a power outage when the surveillance was down!” Wen Yun said with a hurt tone. “If this matter isn’t properly resolved, who will be willing to be a good student like that?”

The head teacher had already heard a general account from the Biology teacher. Hearing Wen Yun’s words, her face immediately darkened.

“Xiao Yu has retained the evidence to prove her innocence,” Wen Yun continued. “If the school is unable to provide an appropriate solution, our family can contact a lawyer to intervene.”

Given the feud between the Wen family and the Luo and Zheng families, the Wen parents would likely be happy to use this incident to deal a heavy blow to the Luo and Zheng families.

The head teacher also knew the severity of the situation and quickly reassured them: “With such a serious incident, the school will certainly deal with it strictly. You must trust the school!”

Hearing the words “trust the school,” Wen Yun maintained a smile on the surface, but inwardly, she sneered.

If the school were truly reliable, the protagonist wouldn’t have been repeatedly successfully slandered by malicious characters like Wen Yun in her past life, nor would she have been reduced to a state where everyone shunned her like a rat on the street.

Moreover, if Ruan Yu hadn’t installed the surveillance camera near her seat beforehand, would the truth have come out so easily?

Although the “live audience” at the time wasn’t large, the news still spread quickly. In less than a day, almost the entire class knew about Zheng Jiafei’s malicious accusation against the transfer student.

This was largely due to Zheng Jiafei’s loud shout. Some of the students who left early for the confirmation, who liked a good drama, naturally wanted to find out the full story.

Lin Qiqi initially didn’t pay much attention to the matter, but after hearing the truth directly from Wen Yun and watching the surveillance video, she instantly became furious. She said indignantly, “Yunyun, send me that evidence! I’ll make them ‘socially dead’ and ‘debut’ tonight!!”

Wen Yun knew this malicious girl was still fixated on a public opinion war. She said, somewhere between tears and laughter, “Did you forget how I insulted them this morning?”

“I couldn’t forget that,” Lin Qiqi snorted lightly. “But I still think escalating the matter, getting them expelled, or even sent to the police, wouldn’t be too much!”

“Is that so?” Wen Yun glanced at her coolly.

It was worth remembering that the person who committed this act of slandering and framing the protagonist in the original novel was Lin Qiqi herself.

If it weren’t for knowing Lin Qiqi’s true nature, and the fact that Lin Qiqi had made the right choice early on, no longer holding any malice towards the protagonist, and hadn’t caused any more trouble, Wen Yun felt she would absolutely have gotten her expelled or sent to the police as well.

The incident naturally reached the Wen parents’ ears. As soon as the two arrived home today, they were summoned by Father Wen to ask for the details.

The man’s expression was as cold as ever. Even after watching the video of Zheng Jiafei rummaging through the desk and school bag and hiding the ID card, his facial expression remained unchanged.

“Dad, this matter cannot be lightly dismissed!” Wen Yun didn’t forget to fan the flames. “There was a power outage at noon, so the surveillance couldn’t be checked. If Xiao Yu hadn’t been highly vigilant and prepared in advance…”

“I know, Dad knows,” Father Wen interrupted. He turned to Ruan Yu and asked, “How would Xiao Yu like to resolve this?”

Ruan Yu only said four words: “Apology, expulsion.”

Wen Yun’s eyes subtly changed.

These were the exact words the original owner had said to Ruan Yu at that time!

Perhaps the System detected her inner thoughts, as the relevant dialogue suddenly appeared automatically in her mind:

— “This matter has blown up so much. You should apologize publicly to Qiqi first. I’ll try my best to help you negotiate with the school. I’m not trying to scare you, but honestly, in your situation, being expelled wouldn’t be too much.”

— “But I really didn’t steal her ID card!!”

— “I trust you, but you can only admit it now. The power was out at noon, the surveillance couldn’t see anything, and Qiqi has evidence against you. You… have no other choice.”

“Good heavens, don’t just shove the original text in my face without warning!!” Wen Yun quickly shut down the dialogue.

Father Wen stared fixedly at Ruan Yu. After a long moment, he nodded: “Good. Dad promises you. But Dad is very busy lately and may not resolve it quickly. Focus on your studies during this time and don’t pay any more attention to this matter.”

Ruan Yu was momentarily startled. After recovering, she quickly responded, “Thank you, Dad!”

They had a lot of homework from their teachers today. After Father Wen agreed, Wen Yun and Ruan Yu requested to return to their rooms.

But Wen Yun didn’t leave immediately. After watching Ruan Yu’s back disappear, she couldn’t help but ask Father Wen, “Xiao Yu is so excellent. Why do you insist on waiting a year?”

She had thought about this at school. If the Wen family officially acknowledged Ruan Yu, wouldn’t Ruan Yu be exempt from public ridicule by other wealthy family children?

Their eyes met, and Wen Yun saw a hint of disappointment in the man’s eyes.

“The Wen family does not need scum who cannot persevere for even a year.”

After a few seconds, Father Wen said in a deep voice. His cold, stern gaze was like a knife, causing Wen Yun’s heart to sink.

“It is undeniable that your change has been significant since she came home,” Father Wen picked up his bone china teacup and took a sip before continuing, “But Dad has told you before: Do not have any sympathy for a competitor.”

“Xiao Yu is not my competitor!” Wen Yun instinctively retorted.

“Given your current level, you indeed don’t have the qualifications to compete with her,” Father Wen sneered coldly. “While I don’t know what caused your academic performance to decline so much, if you still haven’t improved after a year… you know the consequences yourself.”

“The Wen family does not only have you as a child.”
