Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Lu Ting Suffers a Humiliating Setback (4)

Lu Ting still didn’t know what had happened. After having lunch, she returned to the classroom.

Upon seeing a few classmates with whom she was on good terms whispering together, she approached them with a warm smile and invited them.

“In a few days, my mom is going to throw a party to formally introduce me; do you all want to come too?”

The classmates looked at Lu Ting, hesitant to speak, exchanged glances with each other, and politely declined with smiles.

“No, I have something else to do, probably can’t make it.”

“Right, right, I also have things to do.”

Their strange attitudes made Lu Ting frown, not understanding what was happening.

Jiang Huai was the one who came charging over at this time, instantly confronting Lu Ting, “I’m asking you, is what’s on the forum true? Did you really do that?”

“What?” A sense of unease gripped Lu Ting’s heart, and a bad premonition welled up inside her.

Forum??

Lu Ting hurriedly opened her phone and logged onto the forum.

When she saw the forum post, her face instantly turned pale, her eyes filled with panic, and her hands and feet grew cold.

Jiang Huai, being close to her, clearly witnessed the change in her expression.

For a moment, it felt like his heart was being carved out.

“You, you lied to me? I trusted you so much, why would you lie to me!”

Jiang Huai was heartbroken; he liked Lu Ting so much, always believing her to be kind-hearted, but reality told him otherwise.

He had misjudged her!

Deep down, he couldn’t accept it.

As Jiang Huai was questioning Lu Ting, their classmates pricked up their ears and followed the confrontation discreetly.

The disdain in their eyes caused Lu Ting to stiffen all over, wishing she could faint on the spot.

It shouldn’t be like this!

How could it be like this!

Why could Qiao Yun be so heartless as to ruin her reputation and drive her into a corner?

Lu Ting’s eyes reddened with anger.

She had already given up her family to Qiao Yun, what more did Qiao Yun want?

Couldn’t she leave even a shred of dignity for her?

“You’ve disappointed me so much, this version of you is not the Lu Ting I knew in my heart!”

Jiang Huai had been injured in a fight once, and it was Lu Ting who hurried about calling teachers and buying medicine for him, caring for his well-being.

It was from that moment, he started to like Lu Ting.

“How could you use me to go after Qiao Yun!”

Lu Ting, under the questioning gaze of her classmates, spoke out in defense against Jiang Huai.

“I’ve already told you that I don’t want to dwell on it, it was you who insisted on confronting Qiao Yun, why turn around and blame me now.”

She had merely shared her grievances with Jiang Huai—she hadn’t asked him to stand up for her.

It was Jiang Huai who wanted to show off in front of her.

“You’ve become a stranger to me!”

Eventually, because she was someone he’d liked, Jiang Huai didn’t want to embarrass her too much, but that didn’t mean he was happy being used.

Especially when the person using him was someone he liked.

That hurt too much.

“You can’t blame me.” Lu Ting looked directly at Jiang Huai, “I told you my feelings, but I never said they abused me, you misunderstood on your own.”

Jiang Huai laughed at himself sardonically.

In that moment, his affection for Lu Ting suddenly became somewhat laughable.

“From now on, I will no longer get involved in your matters, I don’t want to be used by you.”

Lu Ting bit her lip, looking at Jiang Huai with stubborn eyes.

However, Jiang Huai no longer wanted to argue with her.

He now desperately needed to calm down.

The classmates, having savored such juicy gossip, were nearly bursting but respectfully kept it to themselves since the people involved were present, turning to the forum for gossip instead.

In an instant, the entire forum was filled with scoffs at Lu Ting’s hypocrisy.

Everyone knew Jiang Huai liked Lu Ting.

Lu Ting actually took advantage of his feelings, which was too nasty.

Soon, Lu Ting and Jiang Huai were called into the teacher’s office.

Wu Xianfeng gave them a stern talking-to, especially Lu Ting.

He hadn’t expected such a good student to do such a thing, as her homeroom teacher, he found it utterly unacceptable.

Wu Xianfeng originally was unaware of the forum situation.

It was Lu Jingzhi who called in as a parent, asking him to handle the situation properly.

He also clarified to Wu Xianfeng that it was Lu Ting’s wrongdoing that led to her expulsion, not the abuse as claimed on the forum, and Qiao Yun had not targeted Lu Ting.

Ever since Lu Jingzhi realized deeply how much he neglected Qiao Yun and how wrong he had been before,

he started having people monitor the Shengyang High School forum, ready to notify him of any slight disturbance to prevent Qiao Yun from being bullied.

Lu Ting somewhat couldn’t believe that her own brother had called to clarify for Qiao Yun, leaving no face for her!

In that moment, Lu Ting felt a rage rooted in betrayal.

After class, Wu Xianfeng announced to the students.

“The teacher is aware of the situation on the forum now. This incident has had a very negative impact. Starting today, Lu Ting will no longer serve as class president, and Jiang Huai is required to write a self-reflection of three thousand words and have his parents notified. I hope the rest of you take this as a warning and will not spread rumors anymore.”

With these words,

it was as good as confirmation that Qiao Yun had been slandered by Lu Ting, and she was not the one who drove Lu Ting away.

Lu Ting wasn’t abused; she lied.

The matter of someone threatening Qiao Yun also turned out to be true.

Lu Ting couldn’t bear the way everyone looked at her. She tried to explain to them, but as the classmates caught her gaze,

they averted their eyes, their intention not to speak with her very clear.

A thought surfaced in Lu Ting’s mind.

She was being ostracized!

It should have been Qiao Yun who was ostracized, but now it was her who was being ostracized.

Lu Ting wobbled, feeling ready to collapse.

She wished she could just run out and never return to school.

But what hurt her most wasn’t even this…
