Luo Sang froze, and her face was as pale as a sheet. Her nightmare from two years ago had started with that voice as well. Her life had been swarming with police officers and reporters ever since.
Before she could calm her nerves, a video of Xu Zhengxuan being taken away by the police in the courtroom appeared on the screen behind her. “Let go of my father. He would never do that sort of thing. Dad...” She was bawling and chasing after her father in the clip. The police had forcefully pulled her away, and she was bombarded by the reporters soon after.
“Miss Xu, did you know about what your father did to the students? Have you always known?”
“Ridiculous, you don’t have proof.”
...
The event tonight was full of various notable figures and celebrities from the entertainment industry. Almost the entire cohort was there as well. Someone quickly shouted, “The girl in the video looks exactly like the emcee!”
“Oh god, she is the daughter of the principal that was charged with sexual misconduct two years ago. Why is she in our school?”
The auditorium was buzzing.
Luo Sang looked at the screen behind her. In the original news clip, her face was blurred when they aired the interview. Two years later, the original raw footage was shown to all her new classmates and teachers.
She laughed.
For two years, she had been living in fear and trepidation, worried that someday, someone might find out and reveal her identity to the world. She was worried that people around her would look at her with disgust again. She had been kept on her toes, and she never once imagined that she would be exposed in such a cruel manner.
She looked at Yi Jingxi, who was still sitting in the front row. He had his legs crossed, and he watched her quietly. His face was cold and menacing, as if he was taunting her to beg him for mercy.
The principal stood up and yelled angrily, “Turn this off. Who is playing this?”
The operating staff ran over to switch the projector off. The audience was already enraged. The media was taking lots of photos as well.
Someone shouted, “How can someone like that take on the role of emcee tonight?”
“Someone said that she had something going on with Professor Ma earlier on. Could it be true?”
“Perhaps. Her dad was a criminal, so maybe she took after his genes.”
“...”
Luo Sang shut her eyes tightly and picked up the microphone. “Stop the discussions. Yes, I am Xu Luosang. I hid my surname and took on a new identity so that I could attend school again. This has nothing to do with anyone. This concludes the Christmas Ball...”
“Get out of there.” Someone hurled a bottle of mineral water at her and hit her arm.
Luo Sang backed away pathetically when a strong figure appeared behind her and shielded her. He grabbed the microphone and yelled angrily, “Try that again. How dare you hurl things at a woman? Touch your heart and ask yourselves, are you all just plain jealous that you didn’t get to be the one standing here emceeing tonight?”
It was Chi Shengxu, the handsome and famous Chi Shengxu. When he appeared, all the reporters rushed forward like a hungry pack of wolves ready to devour him.
“Shengxu, what’s your relationship with her. Why are you defending her?”
“Shengxu, do you like her?”
“...”
