196: Dispute and Gossip

"Senior sister, are you saying that I’m bullying others?" Wang Ziyu frowned. "Since this is the case, I still have a little time, so let’s make clear whether you weren’t looking and hit me, or if I hit you. In addition, you can rest assured. If Lei Yunze knows of this, I will tell him what happened truthfully." This was the first time everyone saw such a strong Wang Ziyu.

Tang Xin's expression stiffened. More and more people were watching, so she had to calm down now; it was too late, anyway. She bit the bullet: "That I’m injured is a fact. How does Wang Ziyu want to sort this out?"

At this time, Mili said, "It's very easy to know who's at fault. I just saw the monitoring of the opposite school building facing us. Just check it to know who's at fault." Everyone looked to the opposite side. There was indeed surveillance that was monitoring.

Tang Xin heard Mili say it with such certainty, and her heart became a little flustered. Of course, she knew that her own party was truly at fault. If that scene was really filmed, her lie would be exposed in public. The image she painstakingly created over the past few years would be ruined at once.

A ringtone broke the rigid atmosphere.

Wang Ziyu took out her mobile phone and saw that it was her second brother who was calling. After answering, she heard Wang Cheng ask her why she hadn't arrived yet and if something had happened. She told the truth. Wang Cheng was silent for a second, and then asked her to wait in place, he would come over there now.

After hanging up the call, Wang Ziyu looked at the guilty Tang Xin trio. "Senior sister Tang Xin, didn’t you not want to delay my time? The monitoring room is just opposite us, let's make a quick decision. I don't want to carry this black pot. Don’t worry, although it was you who bumped into me first, it’s also true that your foot was hurt by my suitcase. I’ll be responsible for the medical costs.” She was so frank that the people around them could not help but doubt Tang Xin. Moreover, the fact that she hadn’t decided whether or not to check the monitoring explained the problem: she dared not because of a guilty conscience.

“Damn, what the hell is going on with this school sister Tang? Last time she was helping school sister Wang Ziyu in the cafeteria, how are they arguing this time?" A boy whispered.

"Did you not hear it? School flower Tang just mentioned Lei Yunze. Lei Yunze is the number one school grass of Beijing University, and his family background is so great. It is normal for school flower Tang to like him very much. She must be jealous because Lei Yunze is publicly covering Wang Ziyu. "

"Yeah, I heard that school flower Tang went to Lei Yunze's class to find him, and some people said that they saw school flower Tang chasing Lei Yunze, but Lei Yunze ignored her. As for the last cafeteria incident, hehe. If you think about what she said at that time, it sounded like she was helping Wang Ziyu to speak, but she was actually leading everyone to question Wang Ziyu's character. Same with this time. She did not mention who was at fault, but everyone believed in her. I don’t think it was Wang Ziyu's fault. She really thinks that everyone is a fool. "

The one who said this was a boy studying law, and his goal was to become a lawyer. Being a lawyer required not only a smart head, but also word games. How could such small tricks from Tang Xin be hidden from him? This time he happened to be present again, and he also admired Wang Ziyu a lot, so he said this out loud purposefully.

Tang Xin's face became green. She never thought that he would involve what happened in the cafeteria. If she was just an ordinary student, it would be fine. However, she was part of the student union. If this matter spread, what would everyone think of her?

"School sister Wang Ziyu, I know I shouldn't be against you. This is it: I wasn’t careful enough. I shouldn't go down this corridor again, and I will definitely take a detour when I see you in the future. I don't need medical expenses, it’s just a minor injury.” Tang Xin said aggrievedly, her face a little pale. Anyway, a beauty was a beauty, and this appearance really aroused the protective instinct of men. Some boys immediately showed unbearable expressions, while some girls thought she was very contrived.

Knowing that the current situation was not good for her, she pretended to make concessions, in fact alluding that Wang Ziyu was relying on a backer to make herself superior, and she was the little white flower who had been bullied but could not repay her, regarding herself as the victim.

"That won't work!"

A mellow male voice suddenly came in. Everyone turned their heads and saw Wang Ziyu's handsome second brother arrive. There was another big handsome guy behind him, which sparked a lot of discussion.

Seeing Wang Cheng, Tang Xin's expression grew a bit unnatural for a moment. She was still a little jealous of Wang Cheng. Last time, she suspected that Wang Cheng saw through her tricks.

"My sister can't be slandered. If you are not convinced, let the facts speak. It's better than everyone standing here and pointing fingers. If it really is my sister's fault, I will make her apologize to you immediately." Wang Cheng stood beside Wang Ziyu and looked at her with a smile on his face.

"The brother of the school flower is right, if we just look at the surveillance, we will know the truth." The girls in the same building as Wang Ziyu immediately agreed.

Some people hadn’t really met Tang Xin, and only heard that she was pretty good and quite righteous. However, when they saw her today, they felt that Tang Xin was not as good as in the rumors. She was too contrived, and every sentence she said made people feel uncomfortable. She talked like a victim, but she didn’t dare to watch the surveillance. In this case, what did one need to say? Most people's impressions of Tang Xin had fallen to the valley. What kind of person dared to be the head of the discipline department? Which student was worthy of being part of the student union?

While they were talking, there was already a boy who had already run to the monitoring room opposite them to request the surveillance video for that period of time. The security guard in the monitoring room had known about this for a long time, so he agreed. The boy ran back to tell them the result: as long as anyone went there, they could see it.

Tang Xin was completely pale.

Ma Miao and Fan Qingqing also realized that it was not good. Just when they wanted to disturb everyone's attention with their savage skills, Wang Cheng, who seemed to be aware of their thoughts, spoke.

"School flower Tang, things have already come to this point, do you still dare not go see it with us?"

Tang Xin clenched her shaking hand slightly, and from her stiff expression, pulled out a silky, relaxed smile. "How am I in the wrong? I do dare. I said earlier that I was not careful myself. If you want to watch it, then watch it."

So, the group of people moved to the surveillance room. The security guard had already cut out the surveillance video of that period of time. It was only ten seconds or so. From this ten-second video, everyone clearly saw that when Tang Xin collided with Wang Ziyu, she was turning her head to speak to her friend and didn't notice Wang Ziyu coming down at all. The truth became clear.

The monitoring room was quiet, and the Tang Xin trio didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Sister Tang Xin, you don’t need to take a detour when you see me in the future, but I may choose to take a detour when I see you; I don’t want to be wronged again. In the end, the corridor was built by the school, not by me," Wang Ziyu concluded calmly. With those words, she didn't want to waste time on such insignificant things. Why did Tang Xin hate her? She didn't know, nor did she want to know.

Tang Xin was extremely embarrassed by her words. The surrounding gazes scratched her face like knives. Since she had entered the student union, she had never encountered such a thing. It was as if her pride was stripped away, only leaving a layer of shame. She felt terribly embarrassed.

For a moment, she was very happy that Beijing University had winter vacation. Even if the rumors spread today, it would not affect her much.

Tang Xin, who was so grateful, didn't know: this incident was hung on the wall that night.

The Beijing University Forum was a very popular place. Both the poor students and the top students were there at a high frequency.

In order to promote a more pure learning atmosphere, the school had set up many professional sections in the forum, and had teachers and professors of the school also register in the forum and interact with students through the forum. So, even if it was a holiday, everyone could also meet on the forum.

If it was other ordinary universities, it may not be possible to form such a learning-oriented atmosphere in the forum. However, Beijing University was an exception, for there were many students who loved learning. However, no matter how serious the forum was, there would be gossip. In order to enrich the students’ education lives, work and rest were both necessary. So, the forum had opened up a gossip section.

Everyone had a gossiping heart. This did not distinguish between poor students and top students. Occasionally, even teachers and professors might gossip when they were anonymous, so gossip was the most popular section in the forum, with a far higher click-through rate than any other section.

The subjects of the gossip section were mainly students of Beijing University. New gossip posts could be found there almost every day, and most of the gossip was about the school flowers and grass.

Some time ago, when Wang Ziyu was mistaken to have a boyfriend, there were lots of posts in the gossip section of the forum. Some blackened Wang Ziyu, and others helped her. However, this gossip didn't go popular for a long time, and sunk quickly, in less than two days.

When Lei Yunze came out to help her, some good people moved toward the gossip of those two, and speculated why Lei Yunze helped Wang Ziyu, and if they were in a relationship. Someone even secretly followed the two, trying to find out evidence. As a result, after a few days of busy work, the two did not meet at all.

Some people thought they were in a relationship, and some people thought that they were not. The two factions fought, and the dispute was very lively on the forum. This was until Lei Yunze met Wang Ziyu's second brother. Everyone guessed that they were friends, and that it was Wang Cheng who asked Lei Yunze to take care of his sister. In such a way, the controversy came to an end. It could be seen that the gossip of the school flowers and grass was really attractive.

Although it was vacation, some students would brush the forum habitually; as a result, they soon received an explosive post.

"The two school flowers of Beijing University. Who is the real white lotus?”
