Chapter 959: Beautiful Girl (4)

Even the school security guards looked at her with contempt. Those with less restraint openly ogled her with lustful eyes.

No matter where she went, people talked about her.

Her mother had lost her peaceful life because of her, yet she could do nothing to change it.

Still, she wanted to do something.

Under the constant pressure of public opinion, her mind gradually broke. Consumed by depression, she secretly climbed to the rooftop of the teaching building.

The entire school was alarmed.

Students and teachers gathered below, shouting for her to come down and stop doing something foolish.

Wasn't it just that people had found out she was being kept?

It wasn't such a big deal.

Weren't prostitutes still living perfectly fine?

Even at that moment, people were still insulting her.

Yet strangely, she no longer seemed to care.

Sitting on the edge of the rooftop in the most dangerous position, she said quietly,

"Bring Zuo Ran and Wei Liang here."

In the end, they never came.

When they heard what was happening, they simply assumed she was trying to force them to clear her name with this stunt.

Neither of them was willing to do so.

They wanted to teach her a lesson.

By the time emergency personnel were almost there, Zuo Ran and Wei Liang still hadn't shown up.

At last, she shouted,

"Zuo Ran! Wei Liang! You think this game is fun, don't you? Then I'll play one more round with you."

"I'll play with my life."

"Do you dare?"

Everyone thought she was bluffing.

No one expected that the moment she finished speaking—

She jumped.

She landed headfirst.

Death was instantaneous.

The people standing closest to her at the time were Chang Zhan and Bai Fei.

Halfway through the game, after witnessing Bai Fei's pitiful situation under the pressure of rumors, Chang Zhan had withdrawn and quietly begun protecting her.

Looking at the original owner lying in a mangled pool of blood, he tightly clasped Bai Fei's hand, his whole body trembling.

"Feifei… thank goodness."

He whispered words Bai Fei couldn't understand.

Because he had withdrawn from the game in time and begun dating Bai Fei, she had never endured the endless slander and stood beside him safe and whole.

If he had acted like Wei Liang and Zuo Ran—

Would Bai Fei have ended up like this?

The thought alone left him drenched in cold sweat.

When Zuo Ran and Wei Liang learned of her death, they couldn't believe it either.

Even though they regretted everything afterward, no amount of remorse could bring her back.

Their regret was all they had.

Neither of them suffered any real punishment.

Xu Meihui, shattered by her daughter's death, spent the rest of her life drowning in grief.

Chang Zhan, having learned from this tragedy, devoted himself wholeheartedly to Bai Fei and never stopped feeling guilty over his own former actions.

Strictly speaking, the original owner had little to do with the protagonists.

At most, her death removed every obstacle from the relationship between the male and female leads.

Tang Guo's eyes slowly regained clarity.

She looked down at the adorable ice cream before her and quietly continued eating spoonful after spoonful.

The System trembled nearby, unable to tell what mood its host was currently in.

Ten minutes later, Tang Guo finished the ice cream and wiped the corners of her lips with a napkin.

"The ice cream is pretty delicious."

System: 【......】

Before leaving the shop, Tang Guo bought another ice cream.

Stepping outside, she looked at the bustling traffic flowing through the streets and smiled faintly.

"The game..."

"Has only just begun."

At this moment, she had only recently rejected Wei Liang and Zuo Ran.

The two proud young heirs were probably discussing how to deal with her right now.

But this time—

She had arrived.

And they would no longer get away without paying a price.
