Chapter 346: Liu Ling Threatened

Chapter 346: Liu Ling Threatened

Ji Shu immediately bristled with anger. "Yun Mu, don't be ungrateful! If it weren't for me, would you be this popular?"

"Well, I sure thank you then! Take everything down now!" Yun Mu coldly glanced at Ji Shu and then turned around to leave.

Ji Shu gritted her teeth in anger and glared at the onlookers around her. She shouted angrily, "What are you looking at? Don't just stand there, tear down those photos!"

If it weren't for her brother's sake, she wouldn't have come forward to admit that the one playing the piano yesterday wasn't her!

And yet, Yun Mu was ungrateful, which made her furious!

Just then, Ji Shu spotted the culprit passing by in the crowd.

Liu Ling!

"Well, well, isn't this Total's girlfriend? How was the limelight yesterday? Enjoy it?" Ji Shu stepped forward in her high heels, blocking Liu Ling's path.

Wu Yue and several other girls immediately followed, surrounding Liu Ling.

"Oh, what a big moment it was. I heard that online everyone is saying that last night's premiere program was a piano solo, and Miss Liu was just a background dancer!"

"Haha, a background dancer, how ridiculous! You're really an embarrassment to Total!"

Liu Ling's already sickly pale face became even more wan and fragile.

Ji Shu looked at her with contempt. "And here's that look again, as if the whole world has wronged you. Do you really think everyone is stupid? Isn't it uncomfortable to be hoisted on your own petard?"

Liu Ling clenched her fists.

Wu Yue sneered, "Not just uncomfortable, now everyone is mocking Total for being blind and falling for a mediocre, useless fool! Hmph, originally, everyone respected you as Yi Jue's girlfriend, and you could have graduated peacefully from South City University. But you dared to scheme against Ji Shu, so just wait and see what happens next!"

"As soon as yesterday's program ended, Total left the venue, probably feeling ashamed. Maybe her title of girlfriend won't last long either..."

"I agree!"

Liu Ling's body began to tremble slightly. The crowd looked at her coldly and mockingly, then followed Ji Shu in leaving, having watched enough.

Liu Ling was left alone.

Before this, she had struggled to win people over with Yi Jue's help, but after last night, it was all gone.

Originally, she had planned everything out. First, she invited Yi Jue to the arts gala, then made sure Ji Shu's hand was injured so she couldn't perform. That way, she could take the opportunity to have Yi Jue accompany her on stage.

In front of Yun Mu and everyone else, they would see her and Yi Jue's loving appearance, and she would shine in the spotlight.

But she didn't expect Yun Mu to ruin everything!

Now she had become the laughingstock, while Yun Mu became the goddess in everyone's heart. Why?

Liu Ling took a deep breath to calm her anger and carried her books towards the classroom, only to have a bucket of hot coffee poured all over her as soon as she pushed the door open.

"Hahahaha—"

A burst of laughter erupted from inside the classroom.

Liu Ling looked up to see Ji Shu standing with her arms crossed, smirking triumphantly at her. "This is payback for the coffee you gave me yesterday. If you dare to scheme against me again, it won't be just a bucket of coffee next time."

"What are you doing? Oh my god, Miss Liu, what happened to you?" Zhao Mingcheng quickly took off his coat and put it on Liu Ling.

Ji Shu approached, her high heels clicking on the ground. As she passed Liu Ling, she coldly said, "A dumb woman like you thinks you're worthy of being Yi Jue's girlfriend? If you don't want to die a miserable death, I suggest you step aside while you still can!"

Liu Ling clenched her teeth tightly, holding back her tears.

"Miss Liu, let me take you to change your clothes first," Zhao Mingcheng said gallantly.

"Thank you, Senior."

Liu Ling thought she had already been unlucky enough today, but little did she know that as soon as school was out, Liu Juncheng cornered her at the school gate.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't my little cousin who flew up to become a phoenix. Why do you look like a wilted eggplant?"

Liu Juncheng, surrounded by a group of unruly thugs, blocked Liu Ling's path as she was about to get into her car. A malicious grin spread across his face.

"This car was assigned to you by Yi Jue, wasn't it? Such an expensive luxury car. How about lending it to your brother for a few days?"

Liu Ling quickly looked around and whispered, "What do you want?"

"Look at you, afraid of being seen. What, am I such an embarrassment as your cousin?" Liu Juncheng deliberately whistled at a passing female student and provocatively said to Liu Ling, "Even the emperor has a few poor relatives. What kind of missy are you pretending to be, Liu Ling?"

Liu Ling hurriedly hid behind the car to avoid the surrounding gazes. "What do you want this time? I only gave you 100,000 yuan last time. Did you already gamble it all away?"

"What can 100,000 yuan do? You're Yi Jue's girlfriend, and you call this enough? How embarrassing. Give me one million, and I'll leave." Liu Juncheng was straightforward.

Liu Ling's face flushed red with anger. "What do you need so much money for?"

"What does it matter to you?"

"If you don't tell me, don't expect me to keep filling this bottomless pit!"

Liu Juncheng was not afraid at all. "If you don't give it to me? Then I'll come to your university every day and block you. Let's see how you can keep up your act at South City University!"

"You—!"

Ever since she had been with Yi Jue, Liu Juncheng had been asking her for millions of yuan. If she refused, he would make sure to humiliate her in public.

Like today.

Just as Liu Ling decided to stand up to him for once, she saw Ji Shu approaching ahead, twisting a limited edition brand-name handbag in her hand.

If Ji Shu were to see me being harassed by Liu Juncheng, she would definitely spread it all over the school, and I would be even more humiliated.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.

She pulled Liu Juncheng behind the car and nodded towards Ji Shu.

"See that girl? If you take her out for a little fun, I'll give you five million."

"Five million..." Liu Juncheng's eyes lit up instantly, but after glancing at Ji Shu, he immediately became wary. "Don't try to fool me! That girl looks like she's from a wealthy and prestigious family. If I make a move on her, do you think I'll still be able to live?"

Liu Ling sneered, "What do you have to fear? The more of a rich lady she is, the more afraid she is of having her reputation tarnished. If you really did something to her, she'd just have to grin and bear it. Plus, with Yi Jue backing you, what do you have to fear?"

Liu Juncheng looked again at the stunningly beautiful Ji Shu in front of him, and a lewd expression gradually appeared on his face.

He was right. As long as Yi Jue had his back, who in this South City would dare to touch him?

"Alright! Brother will take her out for a little fun tonight, but we're talking about five million..."

"Don't worry, you'll get every penny."

"Deal!"

Liu Juncheng's dark eyes locked onto Ji Shu, a glint of calculation flashing in them.

Such a beautiful girl, she should fetch a good price, right?

Liu Ling glanced at Ji Shu, who was surrounded by bodyguards and arrogantly stepping into a luxury car, her gaze turning increasingly cold.

She knew all too well about Liu Juncheng's usual methods. His gang of thugs had countless tricks up their sleeves when it came to playing with women. Anyone who fell into his hands would be lucky to escape with their life, even if they didn't escape unscathed.

Ji Shu, you can only blame yourself for always going against me and even daring to covet Yi Jue!
