Chapter 45

45 Framed by the Roommate

Now that this matter had come to this, whatever Xi Shu said was useless. Xi Wan came to the school and caused a huge scene. She even revealed Xi Shu’s identity as an illegitimate daughter, and now, the fact that she had framed Kong Shuo was also exposed. She had no place in this school anymore.

Hence, Xi Shu straightened her back, stood up, and wiped her tears with her hands and said, “Alright, I admit that I did all these things. Since I’ve fallen into your hands today and can’t escape, you can punish me as you please then.”

She was originally extremely terrified but she was not afraid anymore now. Even if the final outcome was unsatisfactory, she still had to act like a young lady of the Xi family.

“You seem to be unafraid of death.” Xi Wan laughed. “You couldn’t have done this alone and someone must have helped you. That person should be someone around Kong Shuo, right?”

!!

Kong Shuo was a little confused. His social circle was small and there were not many people around him. Since they were friends, who would join hands with Xi Shu to set him up?

However, in the next second, Xi Shu uttered a name that shocked Kong Shuo as if he was struck by lightning. “Kong Shuo’s roommate, Hu Yi.”

Hu Yi? At that moment, Kong Shuo’s vision turned dark and he almost fainted.

That was his best friend! Why would he help Xi Shu to set him up?

Xi Shu said, “I know that Hu Yi has always liked me so he’ll definitely agree to help me as long as I ask him for help. Moreover, he has always been jealous of Kong Shuo and felt that he was always being suppressed by Kong Shuo. So, when I looked for him and told him about this, he agreed without hesitation. He stole Kong Shuo’s design draft and replaced it with his own. That was how Kong Shuo’s plagiarizing incident occurred.”

As she spoke, she also looked at Kong Shuo as if she wanted to leave a good impression on him, “Kong Shuo, this is all my fault. I implicated you in this matter and caused you so much infamy. You can blame me however you want.”

Kong Shuo was speechless at this point.

He regarded Hu Yi as his true friend but what did he get in return? Betrayal!

Xi Wan looked at the school leader and said, “Since Xi Shu has already said so, let’s call Hu Yi over then.”

The school leader was furious and immediately called Hu Yi.

At the same time, a new post appeared on the school forum with the title— ‘Shocking News! Kong Shuo was framed.’

There were also a few pictures of the office, but they were blurry and could not be seen clearly.

There were already plenty of comments below. [Is this real? Kong Shuo was framed? In other words, someone else plagiarized him?]

[There’s no definite explanation for this matter yet but I was close at the time and heard Xi Shu say it.]

[I heard that this incident was exposed by the strange woman who came today? How did she know?]

[That cool sister with that particularly noble temperament? I knew it! Kong Shuo had been wronged! Look, isn’t there someone who came out immediately to clear Kong Shuo’s name?]

[If Kong Shuo can really regain his innocence, I declare that I’m this sister’s number one fan! She’s so cool!]

Hu Yi was sitting on the bed in the dormitory with the curtains drawn. He was hiding in the dark like a worm crawling in a dark and damp place.

He logged into the forum with his alternate account and typed on the keyboard. Soon, a comment was posted: [Those people who posted the comments above should use their brain. This matter is already very obvious. That woman is a rich woman. Kong Shuo is looking to climb up to a high position so he found a rich woman to eliminate the negative impact on him.]

There were also a bunch of boys who were jealous of Kong Shuo who followed suit, saying that Kong Shuo had really found a rich woman.

Hu Yi was pleased with himself and felt that he had defeated Kong Shuo in this aspect. But soon, he received a call from the school leader. “Hu Yi, come to the office now!”

The other party’s tone was very stern which made Hu Yi a little nervous. However, he carefully recalled that he had not done anything wrong recently so he calmed down. He left after getting dressed.

When he reached the office, he ignored Xi Shu directly as if he did not know her. Instead, he said to the school leader, “Why are you looking for me?”

“You still dare to ask?” The school leader was furious. “You and Xi Shu joined hands to frame Kong Shuo for plagiarism and caused him to be misunderstood for so long! To think that you’re his roommate but you actually did such a shameless thing! How could there be a student like you in our school?!”
