Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Giving You a Choice

“So, you’re admitting that you spoke badly of Chuyi?” Jiang Shuqin took over the conversation.

Meng Zhaodi bit her lip, her expression somewhat strange, and after a pause, she emphasized again, “I just heard it from others.”

“From whom? In the entire school, it’s just you and Xia Chuyi who are from Ling County, so who else could you have heard it from?” Jiang Shuqin did not believe her excuse.

As a result, Meng Zhaodi sneakily glanced at Xia Chuyi for a long time, and upon realizing that Xia Chuyi did not show any particular emotion, she coldly snorted and said, “Can’t I have heard it from a former classmate?”

“What’s more, weren’t those things done by you? Weren’t you dumped after an arranged engagement? Or did you not extort someone with one thousand yuan?”

“You’ve conducted some pretty good business, trading an admission notice for one thousand yuan, and now attending school.”

“Hmph, really poor to the point of shamelessness, right?”

“In any case, why would you be afraid of people talking if you did it?”

It was as if she was saying, no matter what, I’ve said it, what can you do to me?

“You person!” Jiang Shuqin angrily said.

Xia Chuyi held her back, glanced at Meng Zhaodi, then suddenly asked, “Meng Zhaodi, are you sure… you are Meng Zhaodi?”

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhaodi’s face immediately changed, and she shouted, “What nonsense are you talking about? If I’m not Meng Zhaodi, then are you?”

“You haven’t been to school for a long time, of course you’re not familiar with your classmates!”

“Right, do you have anything else? If not, I’m closing the door!”

Xia Chuyi abruptly stepped forward, grabbed Meng Zhaodi’s hand, and said, “You are not Meng Zhaodi.”

Her gaze was cold.

Meng Zhaodi became even more panicked, lowering her voice, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Xia Chuyi calmly said, “Do you want to talk about it here, or outside?”

Meng Zhaodi glanced at the roommates who were already looking this way and gritted her teeth, “Let’s go outside!”

Jiang Shuqin watched the scene as if it were a drama, seeing Meng Zhaodi obediently follow Xia Chuyi out of the dormitory.

When they reached a secluded spot, Xia Chuyi said, “Tell me, who are you really?”

“Meng Zhaodi” twisted her fingers nervously, pretending to be strong, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

But her confidence was clearly lacking.

Xia Chuyi scoffed, “Do you know? We just came from the discipline office, do you want us to go back there and tell them that the Archaeology department has one–”

She deliberately drew out her tone, leaving the sentence unfinished.

“Meng Zhaodi” suddenly became anxious, hastily asking, “What do you really want?”

“It’s not about what I want, but what you want,” Xia Chuyi said.

“Why are you slandering me?” Xia Chuyi asked.

“Meng Zhaodi” irritably responded, “It’s not that I wanted to say it, Chi Yue from the external department asked me, then I said it.”

“Just blurting out without any factual basis, in the legal sense, this is called defamation, do you understand?” Xia Chuyi’s tone carried a hint of threat.

“What exactly do you want?” “Meng Zhaodi” gave up resisting and asked her.

Xia Chuyi was incredibly calm, “Go to the external department and apologize in front of all the students.”

“And tell everyone that it was Chi Yue who made you say those things.”

“Meng Zhaodi” bit her lip, “That Chi Yue seems tough to handle.”

Xia Chuyi curled her lips, a smile not reaching her eyes, “So, you think I’m easy to handle?”

“Defamation, forging credentials, impersonation… Think carefully, whether to apologize or go to jail.”
