Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Lu Youxi Discusses Unfair Business Tactics

"Your skin has always been good." Zhou Shuyan pinched it gently.

Lu Youxi worked in the fields daily in Hexing Village and did household chores at home, exposed to wind and sun.

Previously, only the skin on her fingers and palms was a bit rough, but her face remained fair and tender, hardly showing signs of someone who had done so much labor.

But now, since she stopped doing farm work, even the household chores, Liu Yushu wouldn’t let her do.

Moreover, with diligent application of hand cream, even her hands had become delicate.

"However, your skin today seems to be even finer and whiter than before," Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help pinching again, as if one could squeeze water from it.

"Really?" Lu Youxi smiled delightfully, "Seems like it’s not just my imagination."

"I guess there’s a reason," Zhou Shuyan said.

"What is it?" Lu Youxi blinked, asking curiously.

"The delicate flower has met the sweet rain."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Since last night, this man’s sudden change in behavior left her somewhat uncomfortable, struggling to follow the conversation, so she simply turned around and went downstairs.

After breakfast, Zhou Shuyan took her to school.

As per usual, he dropped her off near the west gate, and Lu Youxi entered through it.

Lu Youxi went straight to the classroom with her textbooks in hand.

There weren’t many people at the west gate, but as she approached the teaching building, the number of classmates she encountered gradually increased.

When there weren’t many people, she didn’t notice anything wrong, but as she met more classmates along the way, Lu Youxi gradually perceived their glances to be somewhat different.

Each person who saw her would take an extra look.

Lu Youxi couldn’t help but mutter, was the change in her skin really that drastic?

So drastic that whether the classmates knew her or not, seeing her, they would take an extra look or two.

With such questions, Lu Youxi arrived at the classroom feeling quite puzzled.

It wasn’t yet class time, and the classroom was already very lively, even a bit noisy.

The chatter from the full classroom all blended together, making it almost impossible to hear anything clearly.

As Lu Youxi entered, the noise didn’t disappear, but she clearly saw the classmates in the room looking at her.

Originally, the classmates all had their own little groups, chattering away.

But when Lu Youxi came in, they all turned to look at her, took a few glances, exchanged words, then looked at her again.

Lu Youxi felt as if these people were all talking about her.

Lu Youxi slightly furrowed her brow; if it happened once or twice, perhaps it was her own overthinking.

But now it had happened too many times, and the feeling had been given by the entire classroom; it was likely more than just an illusion.

Lu Youxi randomly picked a spot and sat down.

Lu Xiaohui and the others had their own elective courses and didn’t choose this class, so they were not attending with her.

As soon as Lu Youxi sat down, there happened to be her classmates in the room.

Though they weren’t as close as Lu Xiaohui’s group, they were quite familiar with one another.

"Youxi!" Her classmate, Mai Ziqin, sitting behind her one row away, saw Lu Youxi’s arrival.

Mai Ziqin then moved out from the long row of seats to come over to Lu Youxi.

Because Lu Youxi arrived late, only the edge seats were available, which made it convenient for Mai Ziqin to come and talk to her, avoiding the effort of getting through the long row of seats to find Lu Youxi.

"What’s up?"

Mai Ziqin glanced at the surrounding students; Lu Youxi’s neighbors were trying to sneak peeks in her direction with the corners of their eyes.

Mai Ziqin pouted and said, "If you want to look, why not do it openly? Has Lu Youxi forbidden you to look or what?"

Lu Youxi turned her head to see the person beside her, who quickly became nervous and averted their gaze.

Lu Youxi asked politely but coldly, "Classmate, is there something you need?"

Although she didn’t think highly of Lu Youxi’s actions, being questioned directly by her made the classmate too nervous to speak and replied with a weak voice, "Nothing."

The person then turned away, not daring to look over again.

"The whole way here today, right up until I entered the classroom, I felt that others were treating me strangely—it seems it’s not my imagination," Lu Youxi guessed Mai Ziqin had specifically come to tell her about something concerning her.

Mai Ziqin nodded and directly sent her a link, "Take a look."

Lu Youxi pulled out her phone and knew it was a link to the Jing University forum just by looking.

She copied and opened it in her mobile browser.

At that time, the mobile web pages were still quite basic WAP versions, all in blue and black text.

Not like later, where the phone could even carry out some computer functions, and viewing web pages on a mobile browser was no different from a computer screen.

Having grown accustomed to the pages of later-generation smartphones in her previous life, Lu Youxi found it hard to completely adjust to the early stages of smartphones.

Moreover, not only was the page layout rudimentary, but the internet speed wasn’t very fast.

Lu Youxi waited patiently for the page to load, first seeing the title in bold black font.

Lu Youxi conducts business unethically, tarnishing Jing University students’ image and harming the reputation of Jing University.

Lu Youxi raised an eyebrow, quickly associating it with the incident involving the surveillance camera the night before.

It seemed that the person who had the waiter install the camera was from Jing University.

That narrowed down the possibilities considerably.

She didn’t have many enemies at Jing University, only Lu Youbang.

However, Lu Youxi didn’t think Lu Youbang could pull off these stunts alone.

First off, the money to "bribe" the waiter wasn’t something Lu Youbang could afford.

Now, without Lu Zhenguo giving him money and relying solely on the allowance from Ge Guifen, he definitely couldn’t squander like that.

With Lu Zhenjia’s income cut off, and Ge Guifen working alone, there was a sharp decrease in family income.

Even after signing a new contract with the factory to sell rice at a high price and getting allowance monthly from the Lu Family’s elders, it wasn’t enough for Lu Youbang to just hand out two thousand to bribe the waiter, displaying such a lavish spirit.

Moreover, those two thousand yuan were just for bribing the waiter.

According to Shi Yusheng, after they left last night, sure enough, as she expected, two people came to retrieve the camera from the waiter.

The two people caught on surveillance, judging by their ages, were clearly not students and seemed to be from society at large.

Probably professional criminals.

To avoid exposure, they didn’t do it themselves but hired others.

Hiring these two people must have cost money, wouldn’t it?

Thinking in even more detail, where would Lu Youbang find these people?

Therefore, it certainly wasn’t something Lu Youbang could do on his own.

He must have had a collaborator.

As Lu Youxi thought about it, she scrolled down the screen to read the main content.

Due to the internet speed and current phone hardware, the photos took an exceptionally long time to load.
