Principal's office.
Gu Xiaoer felt something was different as soon as she walked in, her heart involuntarily lifted.
"Principal Wang, about the plagiarism accusation, I can explain..."
"No need to explain, here's the withdrawal application form, just sign it," Principal Wang didn't even give Gu Xiaoer a glance, he pushed the document on his desk towards her without intending to listen to her explanation.
Gu Xiaoer stepped back, "Principal, I didn't plagiarise, and I won't sign it."
Principal Wang finally looked up, gazing at Gu Xiaoer's obstinate little face, his eyes moved, "This matter has already caused an indelible negative impact on the school, we absolutely cannot allow such a student to continue here."
"Without evidence, how can you say I plagiarised?"
"Student Gu, the other party has already provided evidence of their innocence, so... just withdraw voluntarily, the school will not keep you now."
...
Gu Xiaoer left the principal's office with faltering steps, feeling completely numb.
At the stairs, Gu Xiaoer saw a person she did not want to see.
Lin Kexin watched Gu Xiaoer with a beaming smile, as if waiting for her to approach, in stark contrast to the gloomy and dispirited Gu Xiaoer.
At that moment, Gu Xiaoer had no intention of speaking to Lin Kexin, not even half a glance, and walked straight out.
Lin Kexin wasn't angry though, folding her arms with a sweet smile, "Xiao Er, what's wrong, why the long face?"
"If you're here to gloat, congratulations, you've seen what you wanted!" Gu Xiaoer glanced coldly at Lin Kexin, her former best friend, now a stranger with a somewhat unusual psychopathic mentality.
The worse she was doing, the happier Lin Kexin became.
Lin Kexin shook her head, "I'm not satisfied though. You haven't cried yet, and what I really want to see is you crying ugly! Just, I've sent you such a big gift, yet you haven't cried?"
"What do you mean, Lin Kexin?"
"What do you think I mean, the meaning is this!" Lin Kexin took out her mobile phone, flipping through a few pages, and then stopped at a photo.
That picture was her design draft!
Gu Xiaoer was puzzled as to how Lin Kexin had her design draft, but she quickly realised that it was Lin Kexin who had played the trick!
Now, Gu Xiaoer was not angry anymore; biting her lip, her gaze calm, "Lin Kexin, how do you have my design draft?"
Perhaps too delighted, Lin Kexin kindly responded, "Yang Xue found it in your study at home that day, I had someone check it out, not bad, so I did Ning Fangyuan a favor with it. She's a poor student, agreed happily with just a few tens of thousands. Really, quite simple!"
Gu Xiaoer looked at the woman before her who was going mad with happiness, her heart ached to the extreme. The work she had labored so hard to create was washed away for just a few tens of thousands.
Hands in her pockets, clenching tightly, Gu Xiaoer no longer intended to deal with Lin Kexin and turned to leave.
"Gu Xiaoer, you're definitely finished this time, I've heard the school is already persuading you to leave, and I wonder how you'll get by in the design world after this!"
In response to Lin Kexin's screeching, Gu Xiaoer appeared extraordinarily calm.
She turned serenely, switching her phone to the voice recording playback mode: "Yang Xue found it in your study that day, I had someone look over it..."
"You actually recorded my voice!" Lin Kexin's expression twisted instantly, "Hmph, everyone says how innocent you, Gu Xiaoer, are, turns out you're just another scheming bitch! I didn't expect you to know about these things now!"
"The more losses one suffers, the wiser one becomes. Kexin, justice is in people's hearts."
Having said that, Gu Xiaoer turned and left, no longer paying attention to the person behind her.
Lin Kexin yelled after her retreating figure, "What does it matter if you have proof, I have plenty of ways to stop you from making it public!"
