208 208 The Flooding Photos
One stone caused a thousand waves. Not only were the photos on the school’s forum, it even went online and became a hot topic. The media went all over the news and the headlines were more explicit than the last.
‘Explosive! A high school girl bought by a rich man and has appeared in high-end hotels several nights in a row!’
‘My eyes! City X’s high-school girl entered the hospital, suspected of abortion!’
[I’m her alumnus. I’m here to prove that this girl was accused of cheating in an exam not long ago. First place? She probably bribed the school with the money from this old man.]
[I know! All I know is that this girl is ignorant and incompetent. She studied abroad for many years and didn’t even get a diploma.]
[Oh my God, it’s her! Didn’t she become the sugar baby of a rich man a long time ago? He’s not the only one. I don’t know where she got her charms but she has attracted all those old men to fall for her rotten dress.]
[Just one look at her face and you can tell that men would fall for her. Besides, she didn’t go to the hospital for an abortion. She went for a prenatal examination. I heard that she had already given birth to a child. She gave birth to her first child when she was 15. The reason why she didn’t graduate from abroad was because she was pregnant.]
Tan Rou never looked at the school forum, nor did she read this boring news. Instead of wasting her life on those, she would rather be with Uncle Bai to look through a few more prescriptions.
Therefore, when Li Li sent her a link to sort out hundreds of ‘fake news’ that was made up about her, Tan Rou was still dumbfounded. However, once Tan Rou finished reading, she crushed the glass with her bare hands.
She didn’t even have to think about who might be behind this; only Tan Jing would do such a dirty trick. She didn’t know how much money Tan Jing had spent on these photos. From the timing of these photographs, Tan Jing must have started this a long time ago.
She had been too careless and did not prevent Tan Jing from using such a despicable method.
“I’d like to see what you’re up to.” Tan Rou didn’t look at the photos. She took a broom and swept away the glass shards on the ground. She swept very carefully, even throwing the sesame-sized glass shards into the trash can.
“Xiao Rou, I believe in you!” Li Li sent her a message. “They’re just spreading rumors. I’ll get my dad to get someone to remove the news.”
Tan Rou calmly replied to Li Li’s message. “No, the truth will not be hidden and the lies will be exposed soon. Since they want to play dirty, let’s make it bigger. We’ll see how many of them would like to be invited for tea at the station.”
“Xiao Rou, they’re too vicious!” Li Li was so angry that she typed quickly. “I’ve just released a post to clear your name but they reported my post!”
“You don’t have to clear my name. I can solve it myself.”
Tan Rou was very grateful to Li Li.
“You’re just a high school student. How are you going to settle this? You’re not expecting the Tan family to solve this for you, are you?” Li Li asked as she was getting curious.
Even Tan Rou laughed; get the Tan family to solve this? Was that a joke? Did the sun rise from the West? Tan Jing was definitely the one who started this. If the Tan family could solve it for her, it would be suspicious.
“You really don’t have to worry.” Tan Rou consoled Li Li a little more. “If there’s anything, let’s talk about it tomorrow at school. I’m sleepy.”
“Xiao Rou, don’t be too angry. Have a good rest!” Li Li was genuinely concerned about Tan Rou.
“Alright, good night.”
The next day, Tan Rou went to school in a carefree manner. On her way to school, she felt many times more gazes than usual. Some looked suspicious but most of them were shooting vicious looks at Tan Rou.
Tan Rou seemed to be able to hear what they were saying in their hearts. They were all saying that she was shameless and cheap. She had heard these words from Tan Jing more than a hundred times, and they were not interesting at all.
Suddenly, a boy with a face full of pimples rushed over. His behavior was extremely wretched, and he even used his hand that had just finished breakfast to touch Tan Rou. “I heard that you get paid ten thousand a night. Do you want to try it with me? I’ll give you eight, how about that?”
Tan Rou took a step to the side and the boy missed.
“Is that you in the photo?” Two girls rushed over angrily, and one of them stuffed her phone in front of Tan Rou. “It’s you, isn’t it? you shameless Vixen! You actually seduced my boyfriend.”
She stretched out her hand to slap Tan Rou’s face.
Tan Rou wasn’t stupid. Why would she just stand there and allow the other person to hit her? Tan Rou dodged and stood behind the girl. Then, with some unknown methods, she caused the girl’s body to go soft and fell into the arms of the wretched man.
Seeing this, Tan Rou laughed and said, “This is your boyfriend? It’s quite a match for you!”
The girl was flustered and exasperated, but the wretched man continued to pester her.
Tan Rou walked into the class. Her classmates gave her all kinds of looks, and some of them even pointed at her.
