Xia Wei'an, who had been focusing on reading her book, was completely unaware of what Lu Zhanyu had done. She only heard him threatening Lu Yuxuan fiercely, "Don't you dare spread a word about this, or you'll be the one getting insulted next!"
After saying that, he even clenched his fist and openly issued a threat to her.
Lu Zhanyu turned her head away bitterly and couldn't help but admire the manly Lu Zhanyu, wishing she was the one whom he protected.
Ever since "Insulting The Shameless Bitches" joined the forum, the netizens who had been prejudiced against Xia Wei'an, began taking a neutral stance.
One of the netizens, who claimed to be from Class 10, wrote everything that happened in the morning into an article that stated that Xia Wei'an didn't agree on the stakes of the bet with Xia Tianzhen before she left. Yet, there was a post in the afternoon about the content of their bet at noon. Although it was not stated explicitly in the article, everyone couldn't help but guess that the content of the bet was made up by Xia Tianzhen.
There was also the matter of Gu Chenyang forcing Xia Wei'an to apologize to Xia Tianzhen for allegedly hitting her, but if Xia Wei'an had really hit her, wouldn't their parents have done something about it? Besides, it was considered a shameless matter, and dirty linen should not be washed in public. Usually, Xia Tianzhen would defend Xia Wei'an whenever someone badmouthed her, but this time, she did something different. Could it be that she was pretentious and was typically just putting up an act?
Xia Tianzhen was the school belle who was usually gentle and kind. Although many people liked her, there was a small group of people who felt that she was too pretentious. Hence, many voiced their concerns after the questions were raised in the articles.
Several people commented that they used to find it strange when she used to put in a good word for Xia Wei'an, but after thinking about it, they realized that that wasn't the case at all. She was secretly drawing flak to Xia Wei'an under the guise of defending her.
Some also said that Xia Wei'an's straightforward nature was actually lovelier than Xia Tianzhen's scheming behavior.
As a result, the comments on the forum began to become a one-sided trend again, though they were now biased towards Xia Wei'an instead of Xia Tianzhen.
When the matter became more and more intense, Xia Tianzhen really stood out and simply remarked indifferently, "We'll wait until the exam is over."
To her surprise, she was faced with harsh criticism.
The people said that she was obviously bullying Xia Wei'an because she took on the bet despite knowing that Xia Wei'an's grades were poor and that she would definitely lose the bet.
Xia Tianzhen chose to just stay silent and let them comment whatever they wanted.
However, her silence did not stop the criticism that was directed at her on the forum. In fact, many even questioned her and tagged her, demanding that she come forth to give an explanation. They even tagged her three friends.
Xia Wei'an spent the entire afternoon reading and decided to relax a little. Thus, she took out her phone and logged on to the forum. As soon as she saw what the situation was like, she couldn't help but laugh while secretly giving Lu Zhanyu a thumbs-up.
'This guy is an expert. He managed to hack into the school forum without even using a computer!'
After reading all the comments, she felt that it was a great opportunity to make a name for herself. The greater this incident escalates, the more attention it will receive, and when the time comes, the loser will have no way to retreat.
She smirked and logged into her account, which handle was "Hope For Peace", and typed out a statement.
"Hope For Peace: Hello, dearest schoolmates, thank you for commenting from a fair point of view. First of all, I would like to state that I had indeed made a bet with Xia Tianzhen, but I wasn't aware of the stakes beforehand. However, it's quite reasonable, so I accepted it, but for the sake of fairness, I'll drop out of school too if I lose the bet."
