Chapter 12
Chu Yang laughed. No one had ever slandered her before. She didn't know what the previous female lead had done and she wouldn't defend that previous Chu Yang, but she was herself now and she wasn't someone who could be easily bullied.
"Since you're not apologizing, then I'll go ahead and sue you. There were witnesses outside. Everyone heard what you said just now, swearing it was me without providing a shred of evidence! Just spurting claims out of nowhere!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shushu felt a little nervous. Indeed, she didn't have any evidence. "Then how do you explain that you went to the bathroom?"
Chu Yang looked at her like she was an idiot. "Why would I need to explain that? Do you eat snacks when you go to the bathroom?"
"Pfft!" Someone laughed.
Lin Shushu's face turned red. Li Qinglu immediately stood in front of Chu Yang and bowed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is my fault. I apologize to you."
Seeing Li Qinglu act this way brought tears to Lin Shushu's eyes. "Qinglu..." Gu Xiao, who was also present, hugged Li Qinglu and looked towards Chu Yang: "Are you satisfied now?"
Chu Yang: "Satisfied about what? Did I force her? How is it that when people falsely accuse others without evidence, they try to gain sympathy?" Chu Yang didn't want to dwell on this further. Good grief, even going to the bathroom caused trouble!
Chu Yang directly declared "This whole thing brings me bad luck!" and left the backstage area. The front of the stage was much livelier than the backstage. Everyone was very excited.
As soon as Chu Yang sat down in her seat, Jin Yang showed her his phone: "That was Caicai Zhou's performance just now that you unfortunately missed. But I recorded it!"
Chu Yang: "Then share it to the group."
"OK. By the way, there was no issue when that person called you over earlier, right? She also said you stole shoes?"
Chu Yang took a sip of her milk tea: "No issues. I've resolved the baseless accusations."
Upon hearing "baseless accusations", Jin Yang immediately asked: "What? They falsely accused you?"
"Yeah. But it's fine now. It's been resolved." Since Chu Yang didn't seem to want to talk more about it, Jin Yang didn't ask further and they continued watching the show. During the raffle, Qian Xin even won a third prize of a thermos cup.
Although it was just a thermos cup, it still made everyone happy.
After the event when they returned to the dorms, Zhou Caicai also talked about what had happened backstage: "Damn, this was the first time I realized how shameless that person is. To actually falsely accuse someone without any evidence."
Upon hearing this, Jin Yang slammed the table: "Truly too much bullying. They even called Chu Yang away halfway through!"
Zhou Caicai was even angrier: "What? How shameless! Was I performing on stage then? I didn't see that happening."
Qian Xin nodded. "Yes, you were."
Chu Yang comforted them: "It's fine. At least she apologized in the end." Although it was the female lead who apologized, Chu Yang didn't care. She considered them to be accomplices.
Zhou Caicai was still angry: "I refuted her right from the start. I didn't expect that they'd actually go find you afterwards! Don't let that person come to our dorm in the future!"
Jin Yang and the others echoed in agreement. "Right. Too disgusting! Fortunately she's not in our department. It would be nauseating to attend the same classes with someone like that."
With this incident coming to an end, Chu Yang felt that she and the male and female leads were now completely at odds with each other. As for offending them or not, she didn't care. As long as they didn't provoke her, it was fine. But if they really did provoke her, as a sorceress...she really had more than just fortune-telling skills up her sleeve.
On the other side of the city at another university, a male student realized it had been a long time since Chu Yang had messaged him. Could she have forgotten?
If she had forgotten, he'd remind her. Zhou Zhao immediately opened WeChat and sent Chu Yang a message: Chu Yang, where have your recent messages gone? I'm coming to A University to see you guys this weekend.
Chu Yang was doing homework when her phone lit up. She glanced over briefly and saw it was from Zhou Zhao? Wasn't that the male supporting character in the original book who liked the female lead and was bent on splitting up the main couple, then replacing the male lead? He knew Chu Yang liked the male lead so they worked together, but in the end the female supporting character disappeared while he just apologized and nothing happened to him as he continued living perfectly fine.
Chu Yang directly blocked him.
On the other end, Zhou Zhao had been waiting a while without seeing a reply. So he sent another message: Chu Yang, you can't be thinking of standing me up, right? Or do you want money? How much? Name your price!
Right after he hit send, he saw the red dot in front of the message...
Zhou Zhao: ? Chu Yang's gone mad? She deleted me?
Zhou Zhao directly sent a message in a group without Chu Yang: Hey everyone, how are you recently? I'm coming this weekend to play with you all at A University.
Lin Shushu: Pretty good here. We'll wait for you this weekend.
Lin Shushu: Not so great! There's something up with that Chu Yang recently. She actually dared to refute us and is practically stalking people all day, saying we owe her when hanging out with her is doing her a favor. Qinglu's shoes went missing at the last social event. I suspect she threw them in the bathroom but she wouldn't admit it! Not only that, she even made our Qinglu apologize to her!
Lin Shushu: She really pissed me off. She's completely at odds with me now!
Zhou Zhao: What? She's become that bold?
No wonder she deleted me...
Lin Shushu: That barely covers it. Really disgusting! Anyway, don't mention her from now on.
Zhou Zhao: We can talk more when I get there this weekend.
After getting a grasp of the situation, Zhou Zhao dug up Chu Yang's number and immediately called her. Chu Yang was still doing homework when she saw an unfamiliar number. She was about to decline the call but figured it could be one of the original host's other friends or relatives, so she decided to answer.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Chu Yang?"
Hearing it was a male voice, Chu Yang responded "Yeah", "Who's this?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhao nearly laughed from anger: "Chu Yang, who have you cozied up to? You don't even recognize me? Now that you've happily taken money in the past, you want to turn your back and deny knowing me? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Gu Xiao and Qinglu about your dealings?"
As soon as Chu Yang heard this, she knew who it was. "Oh. Do as you please." Chu Yang lazily threw out this line and then directly hung up the call.
On Zhou Zhao's end, he only heard "beep beep beep" before trying to call again only to find she had blocked him!!!
She really has changed! So arrogant?
After Chu Yang hung up the phone, she brought up her WeChat contacts and filtered through them. She blocked those who needed blocking, deleted those needing deletion, and exited any groups she should leave. In the end, all that remained were some family plus the new friends she had made and teachers after transmigrating here.
With this all handled, Chu Yang went back to her homework.
During the weekend, Chu Yang once again went to the Forest Garden Community to tutor. After two hours she left her employer's home again amidst their warm hospitality. While walking along the neighborhood road, she encountered the male and female leads plus the male supporting character and some others, same as last time.
The group of them chatted noisily as they walked, laughing merrily the whole time.
After the previous encounter, Chu Yang learned that the male lead, Gu Xiao, rented a place here. So their circle would often come here to eat at his place and things like that. Seeing them carrying beer and other items, Chu Yang knew what was up.
As for encountering them again, Chu Yang chalked it up entirely to the power of the plot.
The other group also noticed Chu Yang. All of their smiles instantly froze and turned rigid. This time, Lin Shushu didn't step forward. Zhou Zhao was here today, so she naturally didn't want to leave a bad impression on him.
Upon seeing Chu Yang, Zhou Zhao walked up to her, "Chu Yang, do you want to join us for dinner?"
