Chapter 176: Confession Rejected in Public
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zheng Yue had never seen so many gazes on her before. She held the spoon in her hand nervously.
Who was the real heiress?
This question reminded her of the ident.i.ty she heard Murong Qiao say in an ordinary tone in the dormitory yesterday.
“Whoever’s surname is Murong in school,” Zheng Yue said. Her voice was hoa.r.s.e and a little sour.
Feng Xinyao’s face turned pale. She could hear the sarcasm in Zheng Yue’s words, and she hated this person even more.
The incident in the canteen was quickly uploaded to the forum by the nosy students. There were even people who posted videos of the entire incident at tricky angles and with high clarity.
Now, everyone knew that Feng Xinyao was not the heiress of the Murong Family.
“The fake daughter is actually acting so stuck up. 1 thought she was really from some aristocratic family, but it turns out that she’s just pretending.”
“I want to see the expressions of those people who tried their best to please the school belle. It must be very interesting.”
“Previously, when someone said that the branded high-end clothes she was wearing were imitations, 1 didn’t believe it. Now, 1 do.”
It wasn’t just the forum. Feng Xinyao keenly noticed that when she walked on campus, the other students looked at her differently.
Weird, sarcastic, disdainful…
“She’s the school belle? She doesn’t look like much. She’s just dressed up nicely.”
“Look at how beautiful her smile is. In the end, she’s so hypocritical. To think that I was her fan before.”
Whispers surrounded Feng Xinyao, and every word they said in a low voice was engraved in her mind.
Feng Xinyao had seen the discussions online a few times.
No matter what kind of commotion happened on campus, everyone’s attention was now on the upcoming medical lecture.
Thanks to the previous photo, this lecture was simply overcrowded. It set a new record for Hui University’s lecture.
Murong Qiao and the others also signed up to partic.i.p.ate. The lecture was about to start in ten minutes. Yang Xin had already reserved a seat, and Murong Qiao was the only one left.
“Qiaoqiao! Here, here!” Yang Xin waved her hands and shouted at Murong Qiao, who had just entered.
Following the direction of the voice, Murong Qiao found her seat and sat down. She couldn’t help but exhale.
The noise around her almost drowned her out. There were even more students today than at the opening ceremony. The entire auditorium was filled.
Beep—
It was the sound of the microphone being adjusted.
The entire auditorium fell silent. Even a pin drop could be heard.
“h.e.l.lo, everyone. I’m Murong Zheng.” A cold voice traveled from the loudspeaker to everyone’s ears.
Murong Zheng stood on the podium, wearing his usual white coat. He held the microphone in one hand as he spoke, but many girls couldn’t help but look at his cold face. They were not in the mood to listen to what he was saying.
“The lecture this time is to let university students clearly realize the importance of health and the harmful effects of bad habits.” Murong Zheng’s gaze swept across the entire venue, and his words flowed naturally.
His gaze didn’t linger on anyone, nor did he read the script under the microphone. His speech was fluent and clear. Even those incomprehensible medical terms seemed to have become music to the listeners’ ears.
All the girls in the school didn’t scream. Instead, they chose to listen to the lecture quietly. However, the admiration and love in their eyes were almost overflowing.
“According to the statistics, the worst habits among university students are staying up late, followed by irregular meals…”
Murong Zheng’s voice was as cold as ever, and it sounded familiar to Murong Qiao.
She looked up at Murong Zheng and immediately saw Murong Zheng’s calm posture on the podium.
Not everyone could hold a lecture at Hui University. By default, they were all representatives of a certain field. Now that Murong Zheng was standing here, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but feel proud.
Second Brother was really amazing.
An hour was a long time, but it was surprisingly short in the auditorium.
The lecture that was usually difficult to endure had changed. The lecturer’s voice was so pleasant that they wanted to listen to the second and third sessions. They wished they could keep their eyes on the person on the stage and not leave.
After the lecture, Murong Zheng suddenly gained a lot of fangirls. Everyone had the thought of asking Murong Zheng for his contact information after the lecture.
“This lecture ends here. I hope that everyone can take good care of their bodies.” After finishing his speech, Murong Zheng turned around and left the stage neatly.
He had only taken a few steps when he was blocked by a bold girl.
“h.e.l.lo, can I have your contact information?” The girl stood in front of Murong Zheng with a red face.
She seemed to have mustered up her courage. She raised her cell phone and handed the WeChat QR code to Murong Zheng. The freckles on her face were covered by a blush, making her look a little cute.
Murong Zheng was blocked by her, so he had no choice but to stop and look at her. Everyone’s gaze followed closely behind.
“You don’t look like a doctor,” he suddenly said.
The girl didn’t expect Murong Zheng to suddenly say this. She waved her hand in surprise. “I, I’m only in my second year.”
“You have lipid hair loss, and the dark circles under your eyes won’t change even if you put on makeup. Your skin is rough and dark.” Murong Zheng’s words were not polite, and he specifically targeted the points that girls cared about. “You can’t do any of the things I taught in the lecture. Also, the fact that you’re not a doctor at this age proves that we have nothing in common.”
He spoke so quickly that no one could react. However, when they listened carefully, they realized that his words had hit a sore spot. The girl couldn’t help but cry.
This scene was seen by everyone in the auditorium, and it also made those girls who were tempted give up on the idea of dating Murong Zheng.
With such a sarcastic mouth, dating him would definitely be torturous.
Yang Xin was also dumbfounded by this scene. She looked at Murong Zheng’s good-looking face in disbelief. His words directly overturned her good impression of him.
“Your second brother…” Yang Xin’s expression was strange. “Has he always spoken like this?”
She paused for a moment. She wanted to ask if Murong Zheng’s words had always been so unpleasant, but when she looked at Murong Qiao, she asked in a more tactful way.
Murong Qiao nodded. “That’s right. He has always been like this.”
She was already used to Murong Zheng’s style of speaking, so she wasn’t surprised when she saw that girl being rejected. However, Yang Xin was different.
She had wanted to go up and ask for his contact information, but now that she saw this scene, she immediately wanted to retreat.
Her good impression filter for handsome men was shattered all over the ground, and it was the kind that couldn’t be put back together.
“As expected, such a handsome man is not something we can dream of.” Yang Xin shook her head and directly erased the fantasy of having a sweet relationship with Murong Zheng.
In Yang Xin’s opinion, with Murong Zheng’s mouth, even an immortal would have to take a few steps back. Ordinary people like her shouldn’t go up and join in the fun.
She was no longer worthy.
While Yang Xin was nursing her shattered sweet fantasy in pain, Murong Qiao, who was sitting beside her, was thinking about Huo Yichen.
She held her cell phone and looked at the clean screen. Not a single message had appeared.
Since this morning, Huo Yichen was missing, which made Murong Qiao a little uncomfortable.
She seemed to be used to Huo Yichen being by her side, so Murong Qiao was distracted when she didn’t see him today..
