Chapter 605: 606, I’m getting married (second update)

"Watch your mouth!"

At the same moment, the air filled with the sound of a sharp, resounding slap.

A red, swollen handprint instantly appeared on Qiao Muyan’s left cheek.

Chu Jin had always abided by the principle of not provoking others unless provoked, and if provoked, retaliating tenfold.

For Qiao Muyan, this slap was actually on the lighter side.

There had been a score to settle between Chu Jin and Qiao Muyan, and little did she expect, Qiao Muyan brought herself to the doorstep today.

Therefore, Chu Jin’s slap was merciless, causing Qiao Muyan to almost lose her balance and topple to the ground.

"Muyan, are you alright?" Liu Meng Haoran rushed to support Qiao Muyan, his tone filled with tension.

Qiao Muyan was unappreciative of Liu Meng Haoran’s good intentions. She pushed him away, "Get away from me!"

Liu Meng Haoran was left completely baffled by the push—Qiao Muyan’s temperament as the young lady seemed to be getting worse by the day! Was helping her now a fault?

Incapable of doing anything to Chu Jin, she only knew how to pick on her!

"What exactly happened?" Chu Jin looked at Qiao Muyan indifferently.

"What happened?" Qiao Muyan, hand covering her face and angrily pointing at Chu Jin, "You still have the nerve to ask me what happened! Don’t you know what you did yourself?"

Chu Jin spoke in a calm tone, serene as ever, "Then do tell, what outrage have I committed?"

"Pretending! Still pretending!" Qiao Muyan’s face was full of sarcastic laughter, "Do you dare say those photos and videos online weren’t posted by you?"

Photos, videos?

What’s all this about?

Chu Jin was even more puzzled.

"Jin," Yin Wu came over and handed her a smartphone.

Chu Jin received the phone with confusion, glanced down, and instantly understood everything.

She leisurely handed the phone back to Yin Wu, her tone light, "I didn’t post these things."

"You didn’t post them!" Qiao Muyan’s expression twisted instantly, "If not you, then who else could it be! Clearly, you’re maliciously retaliating against me! Didn’t I just post a few of your photos on the campus forum? Do you need to target me like this? How can your mind be so vicious!"

Qiao Muyan was truly frightened!

Those photos and videos were all scandalous.

She was like a social butterfly flitting among numerous men, with no less than thirty men appearing as her counterparts in those photos and videos.

Her reputation was completely ruined; she had become a laughingstock in the elite circles owing to these photos and videos. They had destroyed everything for her.

The photos and videos had been leaked the night before.

Moreover, they came with detailed information about the female protagonist.

What was most terrifying was that the Qiao family had used their significant connections, yet were still unable to stop the spread of these photos, as if someone with a very powerful background was orchestrating everything from behind the scenes.

And Qiao Muyan’s first thought was of Chu Jin.

Apart from Chu Jin, she had no other enemies.

And behind Chu Jin, there was a mysterious backer.

"You posted a few of my photos on the campus forum?" Chu Jin stepped forward, closing in on Qiao Muyan, grabbed her chin, and a cold light shone in her exquisite peach blossom eyes, "So you admit that the post on the campus forum a few days ago was made by you?"

Qiao Muyan glared back defiantly, "I posted it, what can you do to me?"

Expecting Chu Jin to be extremely angry, she was surprised to see Chu Jin smiling instead. Releasing her hand, Chu Jin leaned close to Qiao Muyan’s ear, her lips slightly lifted in a faint voice, "What do you think I should do? Of course, it’s... to treat others the same way they treated you."

Qiao Muyan indeed reaped what she sowed.

In fact, it wasn’t Chu Jin who had posted those photos and videos. She just wanted to infuriate Qiao Muyan, but even though it wasn’t her doing, she knew who was behind it.

Apart from Mr. Mo, nobody else had such capability.

After all, the Qiao family’s status in Capital City was extremely prominent. Few dared to offend the Qiao family in Capital City.

By chance, Mo Zhixuan stumbled upon this matter the night before.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Muyan was furious! Trembling with rage! She just knew this had to be Chu Jin’s doing!

How venomous Chu Jin was! She had actually done such a thing to her! Did Chu Jin realize she had ruined her life forever!

In Qiao Muyan’s eyes, the post she had previously made had already been hacked and forgotten by the students; it hadn’t impacted Chu Jin at all.

And yet, Chu Jin! So petty and vindictive to have deliberately circulated her indecent photos, causing her such immense harm!

She was in this state all because of Chu Jin!

All her fault!

All the fault of that wench!

"Ah!" Qiao Muyan, seemingly out of control, lunged violently at Chu Jin, "Wench! I’ll kill you!"

Anyway, her life was already ruined. It might as well be good to take someone with her on her way down.

Chu Jin couldn’t be bothered with Qiao Muyan acting out and simply stepped to the side.

The current Qiao Muyan was like a trapped beast, capable of nothing but a fading struggle, without any real potential for harm.

Moreover, as merchants value profit above all, even if Qiao Muyan were the only daughter of the Qiao family, once she lost her usefulness, she would be discarded.

Sometimes, reality is just that cruel.

With a bang! Qiao Muyan directly crashed into the wardrobe behind Chu Jin, collapsing to the ground in convulsions.

At this moment, several men in black walked in from outside the door and dragged Qiao Muyan out.

From then on, Qiao Muyan would no longer appear at Capital University.

After the disgrace Qiao Muyan brought upon the Qiao family, the family head had already planned to cast her off to a foreign land to fend for herself.

It would save her from staying in Capital City and continuing to tarnish the Qiao family’s name.

Watching as Qiao Muyan was dragged out like a dead dog, Liu Meng Haoran was so scared that he collapsed onto the bed, feeling as though all his strength had been sapped away, breaking into a cold sweat.

Liu Meng Haoran was truly afraid.

Because of what happened with the post, it wasn’t only about Qiao Muyan, but also his involvement.

Chu Jin was so clever; he must have figured out that this incident was related to him too. That’s why he was making an example out of her.

But that incident was all Qiao Muyan’s doing.

The photos were posted by Qiao Muyan, and the text was also edited by Qiao Muyan before sending to him; he was a victim too...

The more Liu Meng Haoran thought about it, the more frightened he became, tormented by the ordeal. Now, all he could do was silently pray in his heart that Chu Jin wouldn’t vent his anger on him.

But Chu Jin didn’t care about Liu Meng Haoran’s feelings, passing indifferently by his side and asking in a light tone, "Little Wu, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Yin Wu came to his senses from a slight daze.

He was just a kid from the countryside and had never seen such a grand scene, inevitably feeling a bit panicked.

In contrast to Chu Jin, her face showed no extra expression. It was as if she had not been through those events, calm and composed. After all, she came from a prominent family, a dignified aura set her apart from ordinary folks like them.

It’s usually not apparent, but at critical moments, the differences reveal themselves.

"I haven’t eaten either," said Chu Jin as she walked over to Yin Wu, smiling softly, "Let’s go, let’s eat together."

"Okay." Yin Wu smiled faintly, taking Chu Jin’s arm and walking towards the door.

Liu Meng Haoran let out a sigh of relief as he watched the two of them leave.

With Chu Jin gone, the atmosphere felt much lighter. Strangely, Liu Meng Haoran found himself envying that country bumpkin, Yin Wu.

Blaming himself for poor judgment.

For not befriending Chu Jin right away and instead cozying up to Qiao Muyan.

If he had taken the initiative to befriend Chu Jin back then, there would be no Yin Wu now!

Really, what was Chu Jin thinking, associating so closely with a country bumpkin? Wasn’t she worried about devaluing her own status?

Chu Jin and Yin Wu walked the path to the cafeteria.

"Little Wu," Chu Jin initiated the conversation.

"Hmm?"

"Do you think I am very cruel?" Chu Jin continued.

"Ah?" Yin Wu was taken aback, surprised as he said, "Jin, why would you say that?"

"Regarding the matter with Qiao Muyan," Chu Jin said earnestly, "If those photos and videos were really related to me, would you think I’m very cruel?"

Chu Jin really regarded Yin Wu as a friend, and she cherished their friendship, which was why she asked.

Yin Wu looked at Chu Jin for a moment, then spoke warmly, "From a girl’s perspective, Qiao Muyan’s ending is indeed tragic, after all, nothing is more important than a girl’s reputation. But everything she faces is the result of her own actions, as they say, what goes around comes around. Her end may be tragic, but it doesn’t warrant sympathy, Jin, you have no reason to blame yourself."

In other words, if Qiao Muyan’s reputation was important, was Chu Jin’s not? When Qiao Muyan slandered Chu Jin on the forum, why didn’t she think of the consequences?

Moreover, the posts Qiao Muyan made on the forum were all fabrications, intended to smear Chu Jin, while the events concerning Qiao Muyan were indeed real.

Yin Wu was kind-hearted but also sensible.

If she were in Chu Jin’s position, she would have done the same in retaliation.

"Little Wu, thank you." Chu Jin turned and looked earnestly at Yin Wu.

Chu Jin could feel that Yin Wu was a good person, genuine and straightforward, without any intention to please anyone deliberately.

Yin Wu laughed lightly, "Jin, what are you talking about? Everything is fine, why are you thanking me?"

The two laughed and joked as they arrived at the cafeteria.

When they returned to their dormitory later, Liu Meng Haoran was no longer there.

With two people gone, the dormitory was suddenly much quieter.

That evening, Chu Jin received a call from Mr. Mo.

Mr. Mo had been very busy recently, traveling between countries every day.

"Jin." The voice on the other end of the phone still sounded so deep and incredibly magnetic, very pleasant to the ear.

"Uh," there were no outsiders in the dormitory, so Chu Jin didn’t go outside. "Are you busy?"

"Not busy. Have you eaten?"

"I’ve eaten. What about you?"

There came a light chuckle from the other end, "I’ve eaten too. Are you missing me?"

It was then that Chu Jin realized, considering the time difference, it was already past three in the morning for Mr. Mo.

"I’m not missing you." Chu Jin’s lips curved, and her tone involuntarily softened.

"Really not missing me?"

"Really not." Miss Chu was saying one thing and thinking another, her tone steady.

"You say one thing and think another. I know for sure you’re missing me, and you can’t sleep at night, restless in both sleep and meal," Mr. Mo revealed the truth in a single statement, exhaling a puff of smoke from his thin lips, his deep phoenix eyes a bottomless black.

Chu Jin chuckled lightly, her tone clear and shallow as she said, "Mr. Mo, a face is a good thing to have, please take care of yours."

The Mr. Mo on the other end of the phone couldn’t help but curve his lips into a faint smile, and in a tender voice, he said, "Miss Chu, I miss you." The one who can’t sleep at night and is restless is me.

Holding the phone, Chu Jin was startled for a moment before responding, her mind preoccupied with his words.

When Mr. Mo would sing, it was enough to captivate someone’s soul.

After chatting with Mr. Mo for a while, Chu Jin straightened her body and went on to ask, "Was it you who took care of the Qiao Muyan matter?"

"It was me," Mr. Mo admitted without any attempt to disguise it.

As a man, he should protect his wife and prevent her from being harmed.

If he couldn’t do anything, what use was he as a man?

"Mo Zhixuan."

"Uh huh, I’m here." The simple three words could inexplicably bring so much peace to one’s heart.

Chu Jin was silent for a moment before finally uttering two words, "Thank you."

"Silly girl."

There are always endless topics between lovers.

It had only been a few days since they last saw each other, yet it felt like a century had passed.

The next morning when Chu Jin woke up, her phone had already turned off automatically; she had forgotten how she fell asleep last night.

In the end, it seemed neither of them had hung up the phone.

They talked until they fell asleep.

The next day, Liu Meng Haoran still didn’t show up.

It wasn’t until the fourth day that Liu Meng Haoran appeared in the dormitory to pack up her things, walking in arrogantly, as if coated in gold, dressed to the nines, followed by someone who seemed like a bodyguard.

"This, this," Liu Meng Haoran casually pointed at her belongings, "and this, throw them all away. I don’t want them anymore."

"Of course, Miss Liu."

In just a few days, Liu Meng Haoran seemed to have transformed into a different person, her whole demeanor had changed.

It was the transition from a girl to the symbol of a woman.

Chu Jin, sitting at her computer desk, typing away on the keyboard, ignored Liu Meng Haoran completely, her beautiful face unrippled.

"Liu Meng Haoran, what are you doing? Aren’t you planning to stay in this dormitory anymore?" Yin Wu walked in from outside, frowning slightly at the messy dormitory.

Pride unmistakably shone through Liu Meng Haoran’s eyes, "Right, I’m informing you, starting today, I will no longer live in this dormitory. I’m getting married."

"Married?" Yin Wu was somewhat surprised. "Are you planning to drop out to get married?"

How old was this Liu Meng Haoran to be getting married? And, she was only a freshman this year!

"No," Liu Meng Haoran shook her head, "It’s dropping out."

"Dropping out!?" Yin Wu was almost unable to react.

Had Liu Meng Haoran lost her mind? Dropping out of school just to get married? What kind of man is worth such madness?

"Yes, dropping out." Saying this, Liu Meng Haoran took out two gold-embossed invitations from her LV bag and passed them to Yin Wu with a superior air, "Yin Wu, you and Chu Jin are, after all, from my dorm, so when the time comes, you can come to my wedding on the 18th next month."

Yin Wu smiled and declined politely, "Sorry, we might not have time then, so we won’t be attending."

Liu Meng Haoran wasn’t embarrassed, she took back the invitations and continued, "Oh, and my husband is the founder of the Wind Group. In the future, after you graduate, you can come to me for job issues."

From then on, she, Liu Meng Haoran, would be the unlimitedly glorious wife of a wealthy family!

The old fool is already 75 years old, probably can’t hold on for a few more years!

Once that old fool dies, all the property will be hers!

Thinking this, Liu Meng Haoran felt a wave of triumph.

Hearing this, Yin Wu already understood what was going on. It was clear that Liu Meng Haoran had found a sugar daddy, no wonder she was decked out in jewels.

"Thank you." Yin Wu said politely, her tone evidently aloof.

Women who live relying on men have nothing to envy.

"You’re welcome," Liu Meng Haoran said arrogantly, "We’re all classmates, no need to be so formal."

From that moment on, she and Yin Wu Chu Jin were no longer people of the same world.

Chu Jin was just maintained by a rich man, while she, was going to marry a real tycoon.

Liu Meng Haoran, with a face full of pride, bragged in the dormitory. She talked about herself, no one paid her any mind, and after a while, presumably finding it boring, she sulkily left.

These poor people, they will never understand the life of the rich.

Time flew by quickly.

Before one knew it, November had arrived.

In November according to the solar calendar, the weather in Capital City had already become a bit chilly.

The people on the streets had all added coats to their attire.

The fallen leaves had turned yellow, blanketing the streets, the colors of winter growing rich.

Chu Jin stepped out of the city hospital’s main gate, wearing tight jeans and a khaki trench coat.

Without the Soul Resurrection Grass, Zhao Yan’s health had not improved.

She had just boarded the bus when Zi’s voice echoed in her mind, "Jin, get ready, there will be a new task tonight."

"A new task?" Chu Jin lifted an eyebrow slightly, excitement flickering in her eyes, "Finally, a new task!"

The system had not issued a new task in two months.

Chu Jin at one point wondered if the system was broken!

"Yes," Zi nodded, then continued, "However, this task is quite dangerous, so be careful."

The bus was very crowded.

As soon as an elderly person entered, Chu Jin stood up to offer her seat.

"Thank you, young lady," the elder thanked her with a smile.

Chu Jin politely responded, "You’re welcome."

The bus moved along, stopping to let people on and off steadily.

It wasn’t long before the bus became less crowded.

Chu Jin stood there, her gaze restrained, as she communicated with Zi using her consciousness.

"Jin, look to your left front," Zi spoke to warn her.

Chu Jin looked up casually, and saw a very young man elbowing his way forward, saying, "Excuse me, I need to get off at the next stop!" Yet his hand was reaching into the pocket of a young girl beside him.

His technique was practiced, and his facial expression was very natural. Clearly, he was a habitual offender.

Moreover, not just one person had witnessed this scene, but no one had spoken up to stop this wicked act.

Everyone was afraid of trouble.

And undoubtedly, there were accomplices of the thief on this bus.

No one wanted to invite trouble upon themselves.

Chu Jin walked over with long strides and quickly grabbed the thieving hand, her voice cold as she rebuked, "What are you doing?"

It wasn’t until the thief’s phone fell to the ground that the girl reacted, screaming, "My phone!"

Quickly, a man with a street-wise look came over, rolling up his sleeves to reveal a tattoo on his arm, "Little sister, what do you think you’re doing?"

"I’m not doing much," Chu Jin spoke calmly, "Just catching a thief."

The man sneered in disdain, came up to Chu Jin and pulled out a dagger, pressing it against her waist as he threatened, "Little sister, I suggest you not meddle in things that don’t concern you, or it might get ugly."

Everyone on the bus chose to close their eyes selectively, keeping their distance from these people, no one bothering to meddle.

The girl whose phone was stolen was so frightened she was dumbstruck, whispering softly, "Big, big brother... take the phone, just don’t give us any trouble!"

"Now you’re being sensible."

The man was about to reach for the phone, but Chu Jin’s mouth curved slightly, and she sent a beautiful spinning kick his way.

’Bang’ – the man was knocked to the floor, his knife falling to one side.

No one on the bus expected such a turn of events, nor did they expect a young girl to have such skills!

Chu Jin’s effortless kick not only took down the thief but also awakened the sense of justice in the people.

In such a moment, the crowd could no longer pretend that nothing had happened.

A thunderous round of applause broke out in the bus, "Good for you, young lady!"

"Thieves deserve a beating!"

"Well done!"

A few male passengers came over and helped Chu Jin subdue the two thieves.
