Chapter 1099: Chapter 1098: Besties?

The events of tonight were clearly orchestrated by Ge Kaiyang from behind the scenes.

That is to say, Bai Qing’s best friend, together with Ge Kaiyang, schemed to set her up. This was truly the most heartbreaking part!

Thinking back on the incidents that had occurred, the things Hu Xiexie had said were indeed fed to her by these three girls. And she herself had never heard such gossip.

She had always believed that her best friends wouldn’t deceive her, but now she understood that these so-called best friends had always been using her. God only knew how many dirty tricks they had up their sleeves behind her back.

The three girls, now like homeless dogs, were frantically running away, not daring to linger here any longer. With Ge Kaiyang defeated, they no longer had any backing and their only plan was to escape Qinghe Academy and never see Bai Qing again.

The girls were strong in their own right, and the people sent by Yue Ming seemed unable to catch up with them.

Just then, a group of people suddenly rounded the corner of a dormitory building in front, effectively blocking the three girls’ escape.

Yue Ming saw clearly that the ones who’d burst out were Zhao Dongming’s men, the group from Capital City.

Including the three who had earlier argued with Zhao Dongming and walked away, they now stood among the group, having perfectly intercepted Yue’er and her companions.

The three girls desperately tried to break through the encirclement but were ultimately no match for the greater numbers, and were subdued by Zhao Dongming’s men. Following that, Yue Ming’s people also arrived and took full control of the three girls, bringing them before Bai Qing.

"Let go of me, let go of me!" The three girls shouted, but no one paid them any heed.

Bai Qing walked in front of the three and suddenly raised her hand, slapping each girl’s face twice.

The three girls fell silent at once, their faces twisting in malice as they glared at Bai Qing with eyes full of resentment.

Bai Qing clenched her teeth; she had never seen such a look from these three girls before. It was only at this moment that she realized her so-called best friends were actually three beasts hiding by her side. Had Zhao Dongming not exposed them tonight, who knows how else they might have plotted against Bai Qing in the future!

"You three, I’ve been good to you, why would you do this to me!" Bai Qing asked through clenched teeth.

The three girls’ faces were ice cold, the leader Yue’er spat out, "Cut the crap, Bai Qing. What are you after all? Just because you’re Lü Donglin’s adopted younger sister, you really think you’re something? In terms of family background, strength, looks, personal ability, which aspect are you better than us? Why should we be at your beck and call while you just boss us around?"

Bai Qing was stunned, "When have I ever bossed you around?"

"At times like this, still playing the Holy Maiden!" another girl shouted angrily, "Bai Qing, since you say we’re your best friends, then obviously we should do things together. But, no matter what, you’re always the one ordering us around. When we fail, you get angry, you scold us—is that your so-called friendship?"

"I..." Bai Qing was at a loss for words. She did have a bad temper and liked to boss people around. Particularly after becoming Lü Donglin’s adopted sister, she became even more so.

Before she had never considered that her behavior was wrong because everyone around her was respectful towards her. These girls would also constantly flatter her, causing her to lose herself, completely unaware of how much her actions could hurt others.

And now, reflecting on her own behavior, she admitted it was indeed a bit too much.

"Even if I was wrong, you could have talked to me!" Bai Qing said with a sense of injustice, "Why did you have to treat me this way? What’s so good about Ge Kaiyang that you...you actually went so far as to harm me for him? Don’t you have any sisterly affection left? Do you really think Ge Kaiyang cares for you? Don’t you know how many women he has? He won’t develop genuine feelings for you!"

"We don’t want his feelings!" Yue’er said coldly, "So what if he has many women? You have to fight for what this world has to offer. Ge Kaiyang said as long as I helped him set you and Yue Ming’s people up tonight, and made the event a success, he would give me a hundred million. Not only that, he also promised to help me get into the top ten of the elite class. These are tangible benefits, way more reliable than something like feelings!"

Bai Qing was dumbfounded; she could never have dreamed that her three best friends would betray her for such offers.

"Do you think it’s possible for him to get you into the top ten of your class?" Bai Qing pressed with gritted teeth, "Ge Kaiyang is known for being heartless and deceitful. Can you trust his words?"

"There’s no chance for the top ten anymore, but the hundred million is definitely not slipping away!" Yue’er retorted coldly, "I didn’t have hopes for being in the top ten, but if I can earn a hundred million and take it back, then I would have done something for my family. Once I return, my family will surely reward me, perhaps with even more benefits and resources!"

Bai Qing was left speechless. She truly hadn’t expected that the sisterhood she treasured was worth less than money to them.

Most of the elite class students came from influential families who wouldn’t blink an eye at a few tens of millions, but a hundred million was still a significant sum to them.

However, being Lü Donglin’s adopted sister, Bai Qing had always taken money lightly, believing that relationships were what truly mattered. Now she was finally understanding the enormous influence money could have on people.

"We’ve lost, there’s nothing more to say!" Yue’er declared through gritted teeth, "Bai Qing, you’ve hit us and scolded us. Today’s matter didn’t cause you much loss, while we fell into Su Yang and Zhao Dongming’s trap and lost. Let us go, and from now on, we’ll leave Qinghe Academy and withdraw from the competition entirely!"

"You think you can leave Qinghe Academy so easily?" Yue Ming said furiously.

"What else do you want then?" Yue’er shouted back, "Us three girls are obviously no match for so many of you, are you going to kill us? Hmph, a big group of men bullying us three weak girls, tsk, such quality. You men have no chivalry at all, what kind of men are you!"

Yue Ming was enraged, "What did you say?"

"There, they said it—if you don’t let them go, you have no chivalry, no quality, no manners!" Zhao Dongming shouted loudly, "Didn’t Bai Qing say the same about Su Yang earlier? Oh, how does it feel when the shoe is on the other foot?"
