Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 20

The next day after the banquet, Sheng Nuan went to school. As soon as she arrived, her phone buzzed. She took it out and saw a message from an unknown number.

A message from an unknown number arrived with a simple sentence: A small gift to express my gratitude.

Sheng Nuan felt a bit puzzled but instinctively thought that the message might be from Shang Yue.

A small gift? What could that mean…

And soon she found out that it was indeed Shang Yue; he had made the video of Sheng Mian framing her public.

Because the video included a segment from the TV drama Sheng Mian was filming, it quickly spread.

Recently, Sheng Mian had just appeared in the public eye for the first time with her official photos from the drama. She was praised by netizens, who seemed to be from water army¹ accounts, as “fresh and refined,” and so on. However, before the hype could even build up, a piece of black material surfaced.

The video clearly shows Sheng Mian provoking Sheng Nuan, then falling down by herself and inciting classmates to accuse Sheng Nuan… and even captures the moment when Sheng Nuan slapped her.

The comments section quickly built up like skyscrapers.

“Can’t compare, can’t compare. Even younger sisters are starting to compete. What are we aunties supposed to do…”

“Without Sheng Mian, I’m not watching ‘The Legend of Zhen Lan’. With such acting skills, she’ll definitely make it to the finale.”

“This entertainment circle is really deep. Tsk, she looks like a little fairy, but turns out she has such a dark heart…”

“By the way, am I the only one licking the other sister’s face?”

“+1 upstairs. No wonder she was set up, beauty is the original sin…”

“Wow, wow, I need to know all the information about the framed sister within ten minutes. I declare that she is officially my wife.”

“Someone wake up the person upstairs…”

“I’ll do it, I’ve been fired up lately!”

“Hahaha, the young lady is both beautiful and sassy. That slap was too cooll!”

“+1…”

Because Sheng Mian wasn’t very well-known, this piece of gossip wasn’t too popular. However, it was enough to let everyone who needed to know, know.

When Sheng Mian was kicked out of the drama production, the No. 1 High School was in an uproar.

No one expected that Sheng Mian, the usually gentle and beautiful school flower, to be such a scheming and malicious girl. Skyscrapers of posts rose in the school forums, with some even mentioning the incident where Sheng Mian had returned Sheng Nuan’s necklace, which Sheng Nuan had refused.

“Wow, this really shatters my worldview…”

“I have a question. How did she become the school beauty? When facing Sheng Nuan, she’s completely crushed.”

“Ahem, I’ve been hesitant to say this, but honestly, that person is just average-looking. At most, she’s a modest beauty. I used to want to say it but was afraid of being called envious.”

“She knows how to dress up, but no matter how exquisitely she dresses, she’s still crushed by the opponent…”

Sheng Nuan glanced at it for a while and then put away her phone, not reading further.

Beside her was one of the plastic sisters, Tang Youran. After watching the video, Tang Youran looked at Sheng Nuan with shock on her face and said, “Wow, Nuan Nuan, so it turns out you were the victim all along.”

Sheng Nuan: …

Not really though.

Soon, the school called Sheng Nuan to the office.

It was still in the disciplinary Office, and Gu Lanfeng was also called in.

The head teacher stood up with a complex expression and then apologized to Sheng Nuan seriously, “Sorry, student Sheng Nuan. Last time, teacher wrongfully accused you without clear reasons. The purpose of calling you here today is mainly to apologize to you.’

Before the head teacher could finish, Gu Lanfeng spoke up, “I’m sorry too. I should also apologize.”

What’s more, he remembered clearly when he pushed Sheng Nuan to the ground… Nobody knew how complicated Gu Lanfeng’s emotions were at the moment.

His mother and Sheng Mian’s father were classmates, and they could be said to have grown up together. That’s why he was more considerate of her. However, he never expected that the sweet and adorable little sister he knew from childhood would, at some point, turn into such a scheming and chilling person.

Gu Lanfeng felt extremely regretful.

The head teacher also informed Sheng Mian that the school would criticize her… After all, since the previous incident wasn’t made public, any apology or criticism would be merely verbal.

Sheng Nuan didn’t care much and simply told the head teacher, “It’s really not a big deal to me. I have the ability to protect myself. But I hope the teachers will treat every student fairly in the future, regardless of their grades, family background, or daily behavior… A school that treats everyone equally is truly a place that educates people.”

Her tone was calm to the point of indifference, but the head teacher was deeply moved. He sighed heavily, feeling embarrassed and remorseful, and promised, “Teacher will reflect deeply on himself.”

Gu Lanfeng, watching the indifferent girl, was also moved.

After leaving the disciplinary office, Sheng Nuan walked ahead of Gu Lanfeng… As they passed the teachers’ office, Sheng Nuan inadvertently heard the name “Ye Nanxun” and subconsciouly stopped, straining to listen.

When she heard the specific details, she raised her eyebrows slightly and then continued walking forward.

Gu Lanfeng caught up to her. “Sheng Nuan.”

Sheng Nuan turned, puzzled.

Gu Lanfeng pressed his lips together, paused for a moment, and then apologized softly, “I’m really sorry about what happened last time. I shouldn’t have pushed you… But please believe me, I only meant to separate you two, pushing you was unintentional.”

Sheng Nuan glanced at him and curled her lips into a faint smile, “It’s fine, it’s been a long time.”

Just as she was about to turn around, Gu Lanfeng called out to her.

“Have you forgiven me?” Gu Lanfeng’s looked a bit nervous.

Sheng Nuan paused, then smiled, “I said forget it…”

In the next moment, she turned and walked away.

Gu Lanfeng stood there, feeling conflicted.

He understood her meaning… when she said forget it, she simply didn’t want to hold a grudge over such a small matter, but that didn’t mean she didn’t mind it or had forgiven him.

Forget it only meant letting the matter pass.

Not all instances of letting go mean forgiveness…

The girl ahead, with her high ponytail and light brown curls falling over her shoulders, walked slowly, her hands in her pockets, carefree and proud.

Gu Lanfeng suddenly remembered how Sheng Nuan used to chase after him with eyes full of admiration. Back then, she would always look at him with such focus, her eyes seemingly glowing.

But at some point, she had stopped looking at him.

Gu Lanfeng pursed his lips and bowed his head, his expression filled with melancholy…

Sheng Nuan didn’t waste much thought on Gu Lanfeng.

As long as Ye Nanxun and Shang Yue are kept in check, someone like Gu Lanfeng won’t be able to stir up any big waves in the future, so there’s no need to waste energy on him.

While pondering, Sheng Nuan headed towards the classroom where Ye Nanxun was.

Upon reaching the back door of Class Nine, Sheng Nuan saw Ye Nanxun quietly sitting there studying… The space around him was so serene and still, it seemed as if he was part of a different world from the lively students around him.

She suddenly felt a mischievous urge to break into his world.

Sheng Nuan had originally planned to have someone call him out, but she changed her mind at the last minute. Instead, she leisurely walked in through the back door and, under the gaze of the other students in Class Nine, went straight to sit down in the chair in front of Ye Nanxun.

Ye Nanxun seemed completely uninterested in the movements around him, continuing work on his maths problems with his head down…

Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue, leaned over, and lightly tapped his desk.

Ye Nanxun’s pen stopped, and he looked up to see a face smiling slyly at him.

Unprepared, he was momentarily stunned…

The morning sunlight streamed in from the window, casting a golden hue on her fair face, highlighting the fine soft hairs.

She looked at him with a smile, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction from surprising him… The deep green luster in her pupils glinted in the sunlight, making it somewhat suffocating…

At that moment, Ye Nanxun could clearly feel a distinct thud in his chest…
