I Heard That I am a HeartBreaker - Chapter 37

Yet, she was truly desperate. Chen Wanjun really couldn’t wait for time to wear away the feeling. She wanted to stay by that person’s side, to revolve around them, but what could she do?

What Chen Wanjun seemingly possessed was only a beautiful face, but would that person forever love her beauty?

Others were no worse off, but Chen Wanjun pondered for a moment, opened her phone, and prepared to buy facial masks online. Perhaps she should start taking better care of herself, too.

While contemplating which mask to buy, Chen Wanjun looked down and saw a message from Song Ya. Since the suicide scare incident last time, their relationship had reverted to the past, or rather, Chen Wanjun knew very well that in Song Ya’s eyes, her last bit of utility was gone.

Chen Wanjun had become a discarded card.

Song Ya: “Gu Lingxi.”

Chen Wanjun: “Received.”

Their communication was very brief. As old rivals who had clashed for many years, Chen Wanjun naturally understood what the other meant.

It seemed that in a corner no one cared about, a new person had appeared by their Shuangshuang’s side.

Since Song Ya could proactively contact her, it meant the person in question was clearly not a friendly or easy opponent. Of course, Song Ya only provided Chen Wanjun with a name.

As for how Chen Wanjun could obtain information about the person, that was up to her, as each of them had their own private channels.

After dealing with Chen Wanjun, Qiu Shuang was greeted by Qi Sijiao.

Qiu Shuang came back early, ready to be bombarded by the other party, but unexpectedly, Qi Sijiao returned a little late, possibly delayed by something. This sudden accident, however, came at just the right time.

Qi Sijiao was already annoyed. She had openly discussed Qiu Shuang with her family. Her parents were already accustomed to the fact that their daughter was a lesbian, but when they learned from her that Qi Sijiao seemed to be “simping” for someone else, they became somewhat uneasy.

“Absolutely not! Love should be mutual. You must have self-respect and self-love. You’re not inferior to anyone else!”

Qi Sijiao underwent a long period of brainwashing and arguments before gaining her parents’ approval. She felt she had at least one more bargaining chip in her hand.

At the very least, things were clear with her parents. Her relationship with her Senior Sister would definitely not be hindered by the typical trope of “here’s $5 million, leave my daughter.” Therefore, she was the best person!

Being with her guaranteed happiness!

As a result, as soon as she finally arrived at the dorm in the morning, she found her Senior Sister absent. Her belongings were already packed up. After inquiring around, she learned that Song Ya, that hateful woman, had invited her out.

Qi Sijiao was furious. After waiting so long for her to return, that wretched Chen Wanjun popped up downstairs. Was her life easy?

After Qi Sijiao found out Song Ya had invited Qiu Shuang out, she started bombarding Song Ya with messages, only to find that Song Ya wasn’t angry at all.

Qi Sijiao looked at Song Ya’s previous provocative message, lying in bed in a daze. It wasn’t until a few minutes later that she received a reply.

Song Ya: “Attention, attention. High alert for a woman named Gu Lingxi. Qiu Shuang’s current internship unit was found with her help, and it was an internal recommendation. She’s from the Gu family, and she cohabited with Qiu Shuang for over two months.”

Their chat log was usually just them venting insults at each other; rarely did they cooperate. Initially, Qi Sijiao was angry that Song Ya had inexplicably asked her Senior Sister out, but seeing this made her even more infuriated. The double flame of anger almost consumed her.

Who was Gu Lingxi? She knew! The president of that club! Qi Sijiao already disliked her. What kind of “discussing work” required going to a restaurant? What kind of “volunteer activity” quietly made her Senior Sister stay behind? Sure enough, that person’s mind was full of such filthy things!

“Bitch!!!”

Qi Sijiao furiously typed her curses while her brain started working. That person was in the same club as her Senior Sister, giving them a geographical advantage.

Moreover, the other person had more advantages than she did. Although Qi Sijiao’s family wasn’t bad, in terms of cash flow, she definitely couldn’t compete with the other.

At this thought, Qi Sijiao came up with a good idea. She knew herself well. Qi Sijiao was a bit mischievous but lacked cunning. When it came to playing dirty, she couldn’t compete with others, but Qi Sijiao knew who was the most wicked!

The person who had always been competing with her before.

Xin zhu, Xin zhu, you used to love fighting with me during school. Now, help me out.

After dealing with Qi Sijiao’s meaningless chatter, Qiu Shuang lay in bed, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Sure enough, socializing was truly annoying and exhausting in any situation.

She hadn’t been lying down for long when a message from Lu Chen came through. The other person was as concise as before, not engaging in further back-and-forth but stating his purpose.

In short, he wanted to celebrate the end of her internship and asked to meet for dinner when Qiu Shuang had time later.

Look! This was a smart person! This was a good person! Qiu Shuang was already tired from moving her luggage back, having to run around constantly, truly being treated like a labor worker.

Qiu Shuang accepted the dinner invitation, arranged the time, and then sweetly drifted off to sleep.

In the dorm, Xin zhu tightly clenched her fists, looking at the photos on her phone. Sure enough, that damn pretentious president also had feelings for her Senior Sister, which was incredibly irritating.

As for the motive of the person who sent her the photos, Xin zhu also understood. It was nothing more than to incite her, to make her the scapegoat.

But the other person still didn’t understand her. Xin zhu had always been a mad dog, not afraid of losing anything since she already had nothing to lose. No matter what, she would fiercely attack anyone.

Generally, normal people would give up on pursuing someone when the value they invested became too high, opting for someone easier to attain.

But Xin zhu was different. Her initial goal might have changed long ago. In the beginning, she only wanted to win the competition against Qi Sijiao, but now, she wanted more.

Can someone who starts without genuine sincerity truly gain sincerity? And under endless lies, has she also blinded herself?

Xin zhu didn’t know. She was certainly aware that she was being used as a tool, and her accumulated anger needed an outlet for release.

Upon returning to school, Gu Lingxi’s top priority was to find the next president. She planned to hand over the presidency to Qiu Shuang, which would dissolve their temporary superior-subordinate relationship.

But soon, Gu Lingxi encountered her first trouble—Xin zhu.

Usually, the atmosphere in the club was harmonious and relaxed. After all, the club itself didn’t have many complicated tasks. They only needed to volunteer for the upcoming sports meet, as the Student Union was short on staff this year due to many members participating in various competitions.

Gu Lingxi looked at the short-haired, rather cute-looking junior girl in front of her, who kept bowing and apologizing. The other girl was continuously crying.

Gu Lingxi sighed. Was this her bad luck? She finally waited for this activity to end so she could give the presidency to her junior, Qiu Shuang, but now trouble had surfaced, and the primary person responsible for this trouble was indeed herself.

“I’m sorry, President. It’s all my fault. I can compensate. If the money isn’t enough, I can also write an IOU.”

Xin zhu apologized sincerely while Lu Chen bowed repeatedly. The others also looked a bit panicked. Many weren’t aware of the severity of the issue, nor did they know exactly what had happened.

However, Xin zhu’s performance in the club was usually quite good, and she was very active in helping others.

“President, this can’t be entirely blamed on Xin zhu. We also have responsibility. We can’t blame her alone for the lost garment. Junior Sister didn’t want this to happen. Who would have thought the garment would be taken by someone else in the short time she went to the bathroom?”

The garment wasn’t actually very expensive—over four thousand yuan—but the production cycle was too long, taking nearly two months to make. It could practically only be worn by its intended owner.

So, if someone else stole this garment, they naturally wouldn’t be able to wear it. What was the motive? Only Gu Lingxi knew.

Gu Lingxi looked at Xin zhu in front of her. This wasn’t an actual performance costume, nor should it have been managed by a club member; it wasn’t her job. But the president of the adjacent Dance Club had a genuinely good relationship with her.

That’s why the other party placed the dance costume with her, and it was her mistake for not arranging the personnel properly, leading to the incident.

The finals were about to start. The garments were custom-made, and there was no time to find a suitable replacement in a short period. Even if a temporary imitation was found, it would certainly result in a significant deduction in scores.

Xin zhu lowered her head, wiping away tears. Her eyes were cold. She didn’t care about paying this money; she just wanted to cause trouble for the other person, who used the title of president to get close to her Senior Sister and even arranged work for her…

She even tried to find ways to cohabit with her Senior Sister—what a beautiful fantasy. Thinking about the other person’s actions and what she had investigated, Xin zhu felt disgusted.

Gu Lingxi couldn’t guess what the seemingly pitiful junior girl in front of her was thinking.

Her first thought was to check the surveillance footage. However, the camera was broken, but not entirely. Only blurry images could be seen. That area happened to be a blind spot, and Xin zhu herself, just as she claimed, had gone to the bathroom. Soon, an unfamiliar figure left with the garment.

Gu Lingxi had no idea who the person was and couldn’t guess. Because, to some extent, anyone could be involved—a competitor from their own school? Or an external competitor? Or even a so-called mediocre jealous person who wasn’t even ranked as a competitor?

“Junior Sister, this is not entirely your responsibility. The main issue is my delegation. Don’t worry about it. I will find a way to solve this.”

The faces of the other club members were also distressed. The President had indeed mentioned that it was very important when she handed it over, but no one gave it much thought. After all, who would expect someone to inexplicably steal a garment?

Although the garment looked beautiful, with such a tight waist, it clearly couldn’t be worn by a normal person.

In this situation, the responsibility shouldn’t have been Xin zhu’s alone, regardless of the circumstances, but they just felt it was too troublesome at the time, and by pushing it off, Xin zhu ended up taking it alone.

“President, if there’s any punishment, we’ll take it together. This should have been our collective task. It was our laziness that pushed it onto Junior Sister. We can’t blame her, after all, when nature calls, she couldn’t possibly not go to the bathroom.”
