Chapter 9: The Only Friend

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This was the first time she had returned here after her rebirth. She felt a little sad now. In her previous life, Song Qinglian and her daughter had used all kinds of dirty methods to frame her as an illegitimate daughter with a poor character and a fickle personality. Later, the school leaders found out about this and advised her to leave the school.

“Little Yaoyao~ Why are you here so early? This isn’t like you!” Lu Yao turned around and looked behind her. A girl with exquisite makeup and dyed blond hair walked quickly towards her.

Seeing the other party approaching her, Lu Yao gradually frowned with a serious expression.

“Lu Yao, don’t tell me you don’t recognize me?” The blond woman frowned slightly, but there was no blame in her words. “Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost when you see me? Don’t tell me you’re so forgetful?”

Lu Yao relaxed a little and smiled. “Tingting.”

The girl in front of her was Lu Yao’s only good friend in the Qingbei campus in her previous life. She was also the only person who sided with her and fought with others on her behalf when she was framed.

Hu Yuting came from the Hu family, one of the six great families in the capital. Her status was noble.

She took Lu Yao’s arm familiarly and shook it happily. “Long time no see, Lu Yao. I miss you. Why do you look so listless? Did you stay up late to watch Korean dramas yesterday?”

Lu Yao swallowed unnaturally and looked down at the long clothes and pants she had specially changed into before coming. After last night’s intense battle, the marks on her body were obvious and she could only rely on clothes to cover them.

After confirming that there were no traces of love marks on her, Lu Yao smiled and said, “No, I just had some insomnia yesterday.” She didn’t tell Hu Yuting the truth. There were some things that it was better if the other party didn’t know, in case she caused trouble.

Hu Yuting looked at Lu Yao’s troubled expression and tactfully did not ask further. She knew that Lu Yao’s life in the Lu family was not easy now. There were many rules in the big family, and there were many things that children could not do. Moreover, Lu Yao was an illegitimate daughter, so she must have suffered a lot.

She held Lu Yao’s hand tightly and said with a smile, “Let’s go and eat. Your mood will naturally improve after eating.”

“Yes, yes!” Lu Yao nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.

Although Hu Yuting usually looked carefree, she was actually very meticulous. She usually knew her limits and never mentioned anything embarrassing. She was a considerate girl.

Beautiful girls were the center of attention wherever they went, not to mention two different types of beauties. Lu Yao’s skin was delicate and fair, her long curly hair was down, and her temperament was otherworldly. Hu Yuting’s eyes were charming, and her figure was graceful. When the two of them walked together, they looked like a pair of fairies descending to the mortal world.

Hu Yuting came from a noble family and was already used to others’ gazes. She held Lu Yao’s hand and walked past, not caring about the gazes behind her.

Lu Yao was no longer the submissive girl from before. In her previous life, she had been belittled and framed by Song Qinglian and Song Miaomiao. In the end, she even felt a little out of place in the Qingbei campus and felt very uncomfortable.

The person beside her was chattering about interesting things. Lu Yao was secretly sizing her up. When they met just now, Lu Yao’s attention was attracted by the blood mist wrapped around the other party’s body. The blood mist was so thick that it even covered Hu Yuting’s face. She almost didn’t recognize who the other party was.

If not for Hu Yuting’s familiarity with her as usual and her familiarity with her in her previous life, she might not have been able to see the face under the blood mist. With the blood mist around her, Lu Yao knew very well that the girl in front of her who was joking with her had at most 48 hours left.

Hu Yuting was going to die.

Lu Yao forced herself to seriously recall what happened in her previous life to see if she could find any clues.

In her previous life, she had been arranged by Song Miaomiao to have a one-night stand with Zhan Jinghong. The next day, before it was completely clear, Song Miaomiao had barged in with her men. At that time, she was disheveled and standing at the door of the room in a sorry state, being insulted and cursed by the lackeys and some onlookers brought by Song Miaomiao.

She could not open her mouth to retort. She forced herself to focus and escape from the heavy encirclement, but because of her sorry state, she could not return to school.

Not long after, Song Miaomiao publicized that the Lu family’s illegitimate daughter, Lu Yao, was a promiscuous woman who slept with men she did not know.

The news spread like wildfire and eventually reached a point where it could no longer be controlled. Lu Yao became the talk and joke of the entire circle of nobles in the capital. There were even some bored people who uploaded a large number of obscene photoshopped videos on the website. Among them, the mistress’s face was Lu Yao’s. The scale was so big that it made people speechless.
