Chapter 1369: The Blackened Good Girl (4)

 No matter how much the original host targeted Wu Lingling, she could never gain the upper hand.

In the eyes of the family, Tang Guo was simply jealous. Wu Lingling's grades had surpassed hers and were now far better. Combined with Tang Guo's declining academic performance, everyone believed she was acting out of envy.

Even Wu Lingling thought that Tang Guo had gone crazy, driven to madness by the pressure imposed on her by her parents.

Although Wu Lingling had changed and become serious about her studies, she still believed that studying didn't mean burying oneself in books all day long. She advocated balancing work and leisure. Though she no longer ran around causing trouble, she still went out with the friends who had changed alongside her.

She thought Tang Guo's strange behavior and breakdown were simply the result of being too repressed.

No matter what Tang Guo did against Wu Lingling, everyone would find an excuse for it. They all believed she was jealous of Wu Lingling's excellence and resentful that Wu Lingling had surpassed her.

After darkening, the original host indeed did many things that even her former self could never have imagined.

No one knew that her world had long since become shrouded in darkness. The once pure and obedient girl had gradually been stained black, her heart thoroughly corrupted.

She could not accept that Wu Lingling had indirectly destroyed her life, only to continue appearing before her and speaking so casually.

She could not accept that it was because Wu Lingling had shown her photograph to that gang leader that she had become trapped in a nightmare after school every day.

In public, she remained the model student with excellent grades.

Who could have imagined what she endured in private?

The gang leader was no decent person. Blood was already on his hands. What kind of fate awaited a young girl who fell into the hands of such a man?

At first, she had no choice but to obey him. But as Wu Lingling continued to bounce around before her, cheerful and carefree, and as all of her attempts to retaliate failed, she found herself sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Meanwhile, Wu Lingling was steadily moving toward the light.

It made her feel like the true clown.

She could tell no one about what she had experienced. She could not even face her real self.

So she used the gang leader to create trouble for Wu Lingling.

In the beginning, Wu Lingling did suffer quite a few difficulties, but with Lu Jing's help, she escaped every crisis unharmed.

Wu Lingling became increasingly outstanding and gradually turned into the child everyone in the family praised.

Every time the original host heard others compliment Wu Lingling, she would see the disappointment in her parents' eyes. Once she returned home, all that awaited her was endless criticism and abuse.

She was no longer a normal person.

Unable to fight against fate, she chose to sink into depravity.

She no longer cared about studying. Every day, all she thought about was how to make Wu Lingling suffer.

Anything Wu Lingling wanted, she wanted to snatch away.

Thus, the once obedient honor student transformed into a jealous, willful, and vicious girl whom no one liked.

In the end, of course, she failed to bring down Wu Lingling. With Lu Jing protecting her, even the gang leader abandoned Tang Guo.

Worse still, he broke his promise and exposed the evidence he held over her.

Overnight, news spread everywhere. The former model student had supposedly become the gang leader's woman and willingly fallen into ruin.

She was thrown out of her home and left to wander the streets, meeting a miserable end.

At last, Wu Lingling appeared.

She gave her some money and said something that the original host found absurd beyond words.

Even now, recalling those words filled her with despair and agony.

If she could start over again, then when she received that phone call—

She would choose to hang up.
