Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Rumors and Gossip

Zhou Xitong quickly moved out, but the news spread.

It also had a certain impact on Yue Qingqing.

Yue Qingqing was already a celebrity, and now involved in such a scandal, she was stared at with various odd looks every time she went out.

Even when eating in the cafeteria, people would point and whisper about her.

"Is that her? Looks can really be deceiving."

"She is pretty good-looking, no wonder, but she shouldn’t be meddling in other people’s relationships."

"Nowadays you get all kinds of people, back in the day she would be called a home-wrecker."

Some boys also stared at Yue Qingqing, and some even came up to hit on her intentionally.

But strangely, each time someone approached her, they would inexplicably trip or bump into a table.

Dizzy and confused, they quickly forgot their initial intention.

In the cafeteria, the familiar trio sat together.

The buzzing whispers around them came and went.

"Isn’t that Yue Qingqing?"

"How can she be talked about so harshly, she doesn’t look like it, but who can really tell with these things? I heard that guy is quite wealthy, maybe she was tempted."

"After all, she’s from a small place, of course, she wouldn’t want to let go if she could climb up the social ladder."

Qu Ruorui’s eyes reddened with anger.

"That’s too much, they know nothing and yet they talk nonsense!"

Qu Ruorui stood up wanting to argue with them, but Yue Qingqing held her back.

"My grandma used to say, ’Mouths are on other’s faces, ears are on our own.’ Since we can’t stop them from talking, we might as well not listen."

But Qu Ruorui couldn’t be as composed as her friend, "But they are spreading rumors."

Zhuang Lin interjected, "But if you argue with them, it just looks like a guilty conscience, making others say you are reacting out of anger."

Zhuang Lin was quite clear-headed about these matters, probably also due to his personality.

He has never cared much about things outside his studies.

"There, there, it’s okay." Yue Qingqing stroked Qu Ruorui’s head, smoothing her hair, "It will pass in a while."

Campus life for those who didn’t enjoy studying was uninteresting in itself.

And with mostly young men and women around, gossip was easily stirred.

Today her story was the hot topic, but in a few days, someone else would likely take the spotlight. If she responded to each and every issue, it would only reinforce people’s impressions of her.

"By the way, earlier Lu Zhu asked me if I could print out an extra set of papers for her, and I wanted to ask your opinions."

Zhuang Lin was indifferent, "Sure, I could also see what my competition is up to."

Although Qu Ruorui was somewhat scared of Lu Zhu, deep down she actually admired her.

"I have no problem with it."

Just as they were talking, the voice of Ye Chunxiao came from behind them.

"Some people still have the nerve to show their faces in the cafeteria," declared Ye Chunxiao and a girl next to her that Yue Qingqing had not seen before, "They really do have thick skins. If it were me, I wouldn’t dare to show my face."

Qu Ruorui knew at once she was spreading gossip again.

Qingqing had been pointed at and whispered about, and Ye Chunxiao was significantly responsible.

As a roommate, Lu Zhu seemed unapproachable, and those who wanted to gossip dared not ask the parties involved, so they all swarmed to ask Ye Chunxiao instead.

What ivory could possibly come out of a dog’s mouth?

Passed on and on, the words got uglier.

Everyone started treating Yue Qingqing as if she had initially ignored Sun Tianyu, only to cling desperately when she found out he liked a true rich beauty, actively disrupting their affair.

Some people went to ask Sun Tianyu, and naturally, he didn’t tell the truth, further misleading others.

Furious at Ye Chunxiao’s words, Qu Ruorui shouted, "What goes around comes around, be careful that your lies attract divine punishment."

Ye Chunxiao snorted, "Guilty conscience? I’m only telling the truth. It’s clearly Yue Qingqing who wanted to be a..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Chunxiao suddenly stepped on a puddle of water.

Her feet slipped, and she fell hard to the ground.
