Chapter 1405: The Blackened Good Girl (40)

After hearing all this from the System, Tang Guo remained unmoved.

What surprised her instead was how quickly Wu Lingling had fallen.

While entangled with Brother Dao and those hoodlums, taking younger schoolmates out to meet them, she was also deeply involved with Lu Jing.

Young boys and girls tasting forbidden fruit for the first time only had love in their eyes and hearts. How could they possibly know what they should and shouldn't be doing at their age?

They were both in their rebellious phase. Once a different turning point appeared in their lives, all the roads they would walk in the future would become different.

How could Wu Lingling know that the boss above Brother Dao was actually one of Lu Jing's rivals? Targeting Lu Jing was merely a way to strike at him.

If Tang Guo had answered that phone call back then, she would have been the one to suffer.

Had Wu Lingling not encountered so many incidents and then met Lu Jing after his return, their lives would have taken a different turn.

After Lu Jing came back, Wu Lingling cried in front of him for several days, saying that she had almost been bullied by gangsters—the boss above Brother Dao, to be exact.

Naturally, she concealed the matter of Tang Guo being kidnapped by those thugs.

Originally, after returning home to visit his mother, Lu Jing had already begun to feel that he couldn't continue drifting through life like this. Then, hearing that the girl he liked had nearly been harmed by his enemies, he became furious.

At the same time, he came to his senses. If he continued like this, not only would he fail his mother, he would also be unable to protect the person he loved.

So Lu Jing changed for the better, making use of the lingering affection his father still had for his mother and slowly improving himself.

Seeing Lu Jing changing, Wu Lingling, because she liked him and didn't want to be left behind, also began to change.

Lu Jing hired private tutors, and Wu Lingling said she wanted to improve together with him. Every day, she followed him in taking extra lessons.

“So the tragedy of the original host ended up making these two,” Tang Guo said softly. “Now that everything has changed, I'm merely standing by and watching them dance. These young lovers, tasting forbidden fruit for the first time, are completely immersed in it. How could they have the mind for anything else?”

Wu Lingling could no longer turn back.

And with Wu Lingling leading him, Lu Jing would never be able to return either.

As for inheriting the Lu family in this lifetime—that was impossible.

Besides, that young master of the Lu family standing behind Brother Dao's boss must already know about all this, right? Such a huge weakness—how could he possibly let it slip?

She had no interest in the affairs of the Lu family, but if the other side could make sure Lu Jing would never rise again, she would be very pleased.

As for Brother Dao and his gang, there was no rush. Their value should be squeezed dry first. In the end, not one of them would escape.

“Tongzi, gather all the evidence of crimes committed by everyone who has a grudge against me.”

The System shivered. Hearing Tang Guo's words, he quickly agreed.

“Then let's just wait and watch as Wu Lingling pushes herself into the abyss step by step.” Tang Guo sighed regretfully. “What a pity she's not a reborn person. If she were, that would be wonderful.”

System: “…”

Of course it would be wonderful. If Wu Lingling had been reborn, tormenting her would be especially satisfying.

Final exams arrived.

As expected, Tang Guo ranked first in the entire grade. She had only lost a few points, at most one or two.

In truth, those deducted points were simply the teachers' way of being lenient. They couldn't really give her full marks, even though they desperately wanted to.

Tang Father and Tang Mother were extremely satisfied with such an outstanding report card.

Wu Lingling, on the other hand, had never been a good student. After transferring to a middle school farther from home, her grades naturally became even worse.

Not only had she failed every subject, but in one subject she had actually scored only nineteen points, infuriating Qin Ruolan to no end.
