My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 50

With things settled here, it was time to go to Lu Xiaoxiao’s side. Lu Xiaoxiao had already noticed Sun Du. Seeing Sun Du beckoning, she stood up and said to Ziye Yuan’ai:

“Ziye-kun, let’s go! Director Sun is calling us. Don’t be shy, let’s go!”

“Oh, okay, okay… Um… wait a minute, let me organize these…”

Ziye Genai pointed to the beverage bottle on the table and said.

Just now, Lu Xiaoxiao had offered to treat everyone to drinks in an attempt to ease the tension, but it didn’t work. So she went to the vending machine to pick out a drink, and coincidentally, Ziye Yuanai also came over. They chatted and picked out drinks together.

At that moment, Lu Xiaoxiao saw Sun Du come over, immediately choose a bottle of cola, and even told Ziye Yuan’ai that Sun Du’s favorite drink was cola…

This sentence dealt a huge blow to Ziye Yuanai, simply because Lu Xiaoxiao didn’t choose her favorite strawberry milk, but instead chose the drink that the guy she hated liked… There was nothing Lu Xiaoxiao could do, she didn’t know what Ziye Yuanai liked, but Sun Du and Ziye Zheng did.

So, while Lu Xiaoxiao said “okay” and went to greet Sun Du, Ziye Yuanai grabbed the bottle of cola with no visible foam and shook it wildly. She knew Sun Du was difficult to deal with, but disgusting… well, that was still acceptable…

“As soon as I twist open the bottle… hehehe…”

Ziye Yuan’ai smiled sinisterly. When Lu Xiaoxiao returned, she pretended to know nothing and watched as Lu Xiaoxiao handed the bottle of cola to Sun Du. At the same time, she became increasingly smug.

“Come on, come on! Three, two, one…”

With a soft “hiss,” Sun Du unscrewed the bottle cap. The cola didn’t spray all over Sun Du’s face as Zi Yeyuan had expected; in fact, it didn’t even spray. Sun Du gulped down a few mouthfuls and said “Awesome!” with satisfaction.

“What’s going on? Did I not shake it hard enough? That shouldn’t be the case!”

Ziye Yuanai was completely baffled. At the same time, because she was a little thirsty, she unscrewed the cap of the bottled milk tea, and then… “Pfft!” The milk tea sprayed all over her face like a fountain.

“ah!!!”

Ziye Yuan’ai screamed in surprise, attracting everyone’s attention. Everyone turned to look, and Ziye Yuan’ai felt extremely embarrassed, especially after Lu Xiaoxiao saw her in such a disheveled state…

“How embarrassing! What happened?”

Ziye Yuanai couldn’t understand why her milk tea was spraying out. Had she gotten it backwards? No, that couldn’t be right!

Ziye Yuanai glanced at Sun Du, who was holding a can of cola, while she was holding… She licked the liquid dripping from her face, and the taste… was definitely milk tea.

“Ziye-san, what’s wrong?”

Lu Xiaoxiao took the initiative and took out a tissue to wipe Ziye Yuanai’s face.

“I…I don’t know, but I think someone is definitely playing a prank on me…”

Upon hearing Ziye Yuan’ai’s words, Liu Nuanyu was the first to object, saying:

“Hey, what do you mean by that? You need evidence to frame someone, right? You were the only one who touched that milk tea. How could we possibly harm you? Or do you think Xiao, who was closest to you just now, is a suspect?”

Liu Nuanyu’s words reminded Lu Xiaoxiao that, right, she and Ziye Yuanai had bought the drinks together, and those drinks… weren’t they the only two who had touched them?

“Ziye-kun, you… doubt me? But I… I didn’t mean to play a prank on you!”

“No! No!” Ziye Yuanai hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I meant. I trust Xiaoxiao’s character! It could never be you!”

“Then who are you talking about!” Liu Nuanyu persisted. “You didn’t deliberately squeeze the bottle and spray it in my face, then pretend to be pitiful and frame me, did you?”

At this moment, Jiang Wuqiu and Ailamirong also stated that they had not sensed any magical fluctuations, proving that no one was using magic.

Jiang Wuqiu and Aila Mirong participated in the testimony because they were inexplicably framed and were unhappy about it. Being wronged was a minor matter; the real issue was making the old man next to them believe it.

If you ask them if they ever had any doubts, of course they did, but… not to mention they had no evidence, even if they did, they wouldn’t dare to point it out. How could they be so arrogant when they had so many lives to lose?

“I…I…”

Ziye Yuanai had no words to express her bitterness. She noticed that Lu Xiaoxiao’s gaze towards her was no longer gentle, but rather reprimanding. She was so sad…

Just then, Governor Sun stepped forward and said:

“Alright, stop fooling around, everyone. Let’s go to the cafeteria to welcome Alamirong and Luluye back. It’s on me.”

As soon as Sun Du said this, the others responded one after another. They went to the cafeteria under Sun Du’s leadership, including Zi Yeyuan Ai. She originally didn’t want to go, but because of Lu Xiaoxiao, she still chose to go with them.

“Thank you, Supervisor Sun.”

Lu Xiaoxiao leaned close to Sun Du and said something to thank him for helping Ziye Yuan’ai out of that predicament.

“No, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment, and besides…”

Besides, this girl isn’t that great. Just wait and see… whether she realizes her mistake. If not, then really…

…

The group arrived at the cafeteria. As a higher education institution, Wutong Academy’s cafeteria was unmistakably “expensive,” its luxury rivaling that of fine restaurants. It had five floors, an elevator, clean white tablecloths, and a spotless floor. There was no set meal service; it was simply a matter of ordering and having servers serve the food.

“Come on, come on, it’s on me. Don’t be shy, order whatever you like!”

Sun Du sat in the middle, with Jiang Wuqiu and Aila Mirong on his left and right sides, followed by Liu Nuanyu and Luluye, and finally Lu Xiaoxiao and Ziye Yuanai. This group seemed to be paired up, staring at each other.

This position was “suggested” by Supervisor Sun, so that they could avoid fighting as much as possible. He was referring to these two pairs of teachers and students. As for Lu Xiaoxiao and Ziye Yuan’ai, it was simply because Ziye Yuan’ai was too dangerous, and it was best not to let her get too close to Xiaoxiao.

Of course, this position is certainly not the optimal solution, but it is at least symmetrical enough. Moreover, Sun Du also needs to confirm whether these people are behaving themselves or not.

“Mr. Sun is truly a man of great spirit…”

“Yes, Mr. Sun, please don’t worry about us, just choose what you like…”

The others were equally adept at flattery, and on the surface, the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

While waiting for the food to be served, Genai Murasaki, not liking the atmosphere, excused herself to wash her hands and left for a while, and Ruruye followed suit with the same excuse.

The two left the restaurant one after the other. Once outside, Gen’ai Murasaki noticed that R’lyeh seemed to have come looking for her. She turned around, her expression showing fear.

“You…you’re looking for me? What do you want?”

“Stop pretending. Do you think I don’t know?” Luluye laughed mockingly. “I know the fierce thoughts in your heart!”
