Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Take a Kneel for Her Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Take a Kneel for Her Fang Minghe passed by the gym, glanced inside, and happened to see someone familiar.
Leaning against the wall, holding a basketball, his gaze fixed on the dance area was Lu Qingyan.
But not familiar enough to necessitate a greeting, so he naturally moved on.
Lu Qingyan quickly withdrew his gaze; he had doubled back to pick up a forgotten basketball, just not expecting to witness this scene by chance.
The lively and passionate Jiang Nanshu was truly beautiful.
So beautiful that he had never once taken his eyes off her.
Stripping away that layer of malice, she stood beneath everyone’s gaze, shimmering and confident, boasting an assurance he had never possessed.
At one moment, his heart seemed to pause for a second due to her dance moves, feeling his heartbeat gradually stabilize, discarding the anomaly, he left, hugging the basketball.
In his memory,
The original Jiang Nanshu couldn’t do any of these things.
She was clumsy and ugly, with a pair of eyes gleaming with impatience and greed, vulgar and revolting.
Lu Qingyan’s eyelashes drooped as a ludicrous thought surfaced for the first time in his mind… Had the original Jiang Nanshu’s soul disappeared?
And this “wandering ghost,” as if having a God’s eye view, knew the outcomes of everyone…
…
Inside the gym.
Jiang Nanshu laughed as she looked at Huang Ruanting’s flushed face, “Let’s go, fulfill your promise, live stream eating shit, and use my account for the broadcast, you can bring me a wave of viewers.”
As she finished speaking, Huang Ruanting’s face turned deathly pale; Jiang Nanshu really could dance and danced so well.
Even she had to admit that she danced even better than Su Ran…
She took a step back as Jiang Nanshu immediately turned on the recording:
“If you can dance, I’ll live stream myself eating shit!”
“If you can dance, I’ll live stream myself eating shit!”
“If you can…”
This sound, echoing round and round, was exceptionally grating to her.
The tangible gazes of those around made it impossible for her to flee; she stood still as if rooted to the spot, unable to twitch.
Possibly never having been so humiliated before, her eyes reddened slightly, a glimmer of tears visible, her lips trembling, “I… I…”
Jiang Nanshu’s smile grew wider, “What’s the matter? You’re not thinking of reneging, are you? I’ve only seen dogs eat shit, so I’m quite curious about people doing it. Come on, Huang.”
Tears slid down Huang Ruanting’s cheeks, and she shook her head frantically, looking at Su Ran for help, “Ranran… I, I don’t want to, wuwu, I don’t want to.”
Su Ran finally snapped out of her initial shock.
It turned out that Jiang Nanshu was not as useless as she seemed on the surface; Su Ran even didn’t want to recall the part where Jiang Nanshu had danced.
She even danced comfortably and naturally without special dance shoes.
Compared to Su Ran, who worked hard, Jiang Nanshu seemed more like a born talent, belonging naturally on stage, dazzling and bright.
“Hmm? Thinking of cheating? You put out those words yourself, how come they’re as insubstantial as a fart? How about this, if you don’t eat shit, that’s okay, just kowtow and apologize to me, and I’ll let you off,” Jiang Nanshu said, her tone as lazy and calm as if she were commenting on the nice weather.
Su Ran immediately stood in front of Huang Ruanting, “Enough! Do you have to humiliate people like this? Eating shit, kneeling—what do you think this school is, a gangster haven? Jiang Nanshu, Tingting didn’t say anything too offensive, stop being so aggressive.”
Huang Ruanting was deeply touched by Su Ran’s protection, huddling behind her and shedding tears, her actions expressing immense gratitude for Su Ran’s intervention at that moment.
The smile on Jiang Nanshu’s face grew colder inch by inch.
She really did not want to force her head down to the ground in front of a crowd.
How can people be so untrustworthy, to speak words they cannot fulfill? That’s no different from walking a dog.
Just thinking about this, Jiang Nanshu’s fingers were rubbing together, barely able to contain the violence that was slowly awakening within her.
“Huh, Su Ran, in my heart you’ve always been the image of kindness and integrity, but I didn’t expect you to protect her just because she’s your friend. Do you have to be so hypocritical?” Xu Xingwan, who had been silent, spoke. Her background might not be great, but she was used to being with Bao Yan.
She had picked up a thing or two about presence, enough to intimidate others.
Su Ran’s face turned ugly, her hands clenched tightly at her sides.
Xu Xingwan’s gaze settled on Huang Ruanting: “It was her who started insulting Jiang Nanshu, everyone here with ears could hear it. The bet was also her own idea, no one forced her. How come when she was doing the insulting you didn’t say a word, but when it’s Jiang Nanshu’s turn you’re this hypocritical? No wonder the Lu Family looks down on you.”
Jiang Nanshu raised an eyebrow at Xu Xingwan.
In this school, she had always kept to herself and avoided getting involved in trouble.
But now, she was actually speaking out for her.
Just as she was about to move, she retreated again, her poised anger dissipating instantly as she looked at Su Ran with a smile, as if nothing had happened, her face as pale as death.
Xu Xingwan’s words undoubtedly struck a nerve.
Her beautiful eyes reddened with anger, and she bit her teeth tightly, “You have no right to say that. What’s between him and me is none of your business; you have no idea what happened back then…”
Jiang Nanshu’s smile remained unchanged.
Coincidentally, she did know what had happened.
After the original host had passed away, the reason for the male lead’s descent into darkness was because Su Ran’s secret had been exposed.
Unable to accept reality, the male lead began to forcefully take what he wanted from Su Ran.
And the truth was…
Su Ran had accepted those 30 million to save another man…
As Jiang Nanshu thought about this, she didn’t have time to listen to Su Ran’s sobbing, so she made a fair suggestion, “How about this? Since you want to help your good friend so much, it’s not unheard of for you to take her place. Kowtow once for her, and we can let this matter go. Otherwise, I’ll have to tell my brother that I’ve been bullied in school again.”
When she mentioned Jiang Yisen.
Huang Ruanting was terrified, fear flashing in her eyes.
Everyone in the circle knew what had happened to the He Family.
Because Jiang Yisen had made it known that he took down the He Family precisely because his sister had been bullied, and he was seeking revenge for her.
The Huang Family was not as influential as the He Family; Jiang Yisen could crush the Huang Family with a flick of his finger.
Tears streaming down her face, Huang Ruanting’s voice choked, “Ranran, what, what should we do? I can’t harm my family, wuwuwu.”
Su Ran looked at Jiang Nanshu unwillingly, who stood there fearlessly.
For the first time, she understood what class distinction between the wealthy and commoners felt like.
If she were also a rich young miss, would she be bullied by these people?
With eyes all around her, Su Ran finally lowered her head, “Fine, as you wish, I’ll kowtow for Tingting.”
Huang Ruanting hurriedly grabbed Su Ran, anxiously saying, “Ranran…”
Su Ran patted her hand reassuringly, her voice shaking with humiliation, “It’s okay, Tingting, as long as you’re alright.”
Under Jiang Nanshu’s mocking gaze, Su Ran’s delicate white leg hit the ground with a crisp sound, her fingernails digging tightly into her palm, tears still uncontrollably dropping onto the floor.
She had lived for twenty-one years, and this was the most humiliating moment of her life.
A figure rushed over quickly, grabbing Su Ran who was about to kneel on both knees, his voice tense, “Ranran, are you alright?”
Seeing who it was, Su Ran finally broke down and cried, lunging into his embrace.
“Brother Ci Qiu.”
