Chapter 271: Falling from the Altar

Wen Nian could see Jiang Chun trembling, but she quickly composed herself and smiled, “Yes, you’re right. I’ve explained to my classmates just now as well. It wasn’t intentional on my part.”

Shen Jun repeated once more, “You tugged the bag, causing it to tear. Wen Nian was just reaching out to take it.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chun’s tears flowed uncontrollably. “Shen Jun, we’ve been good friends since childhood. We’ve known each other for so many years. Don’t you trust me? Are you saying that 1 intentionally framed Wen Nian just now?” “I’m just stating the facts as I saw them,” Shen Jun frowned, feeling a bit stifled.

Jiang Chun had always been quick to take responsibility, sometimes overly kind. How could she say something like this today?

“Shen Jun, we’ve known each other since we were young. How can you think like this?” Jiang Chun’s tears were flowing, her voice choked with sobs, “I acted recklessly today, I’m sorry, I’ll go back now.”

She turned around quickly, but Wen Nian noticed her steps were slow, clearly hesitating, probably waiting for Shen Jun to stop her. However, Shen Jun didn’t say anything, and his expression didn’t look very good.

Watching this scene, Wei Xiao suddenly understood something.

He had seen situations like this abroad. He didn’t believe in purely platonic relationships between men and women, and especially not Jiang Chun’s claim that she and Shen Jun had been close friends since childhood. The Wei family had investigated this matter, and to be fair, the two of them had only been kidnapped together for a few days in their childhood.

There had been no significant interaction between their families. Jiang Chun’s words were likely an attempt to bridge the gap between her and Shen Jun.

Jiang Chun didn’t expect that Shen Jun wouldn’t stop her, and with many classmates still around, observing the situation, she felt her pride couldn’t be salvaged. Plus, she needed to salvage her image in Shen Jun’s eyes.

In the end, she turned back around and deeply bowed to Wen Nian, saying tearfully, “Wen Nian, I’m sorry. 1 let so many classmates misunderstand you just now. 1 hope you won’t be angry and won’t hold any grudges against Shen Jun because of this. It’s all my fault.”

After saying that, she looked at Shen Jun with tears in her eyes. Seeing that Shen Jun still didn’t move, she really turned around and left.

Wei Xiao wasn’t planning to say anything at this point. Seeing that the situation had calmed down, he exchanged a few courteous words and left.

Due to Shen Jun’s defense earlier, Wen Nian was in a good mood. She walked Shen Jun out of the school and then returned to her dormitory.

However, no one expected this scene to be posted online. Someone had taken a photo of Jiang Chun bowing and even picked up the receipt for her delivery.

Although Shen Jun had thrown the receipt away, it was retrieved from the trash, and the photo was posted on the campus forum.

The campus forum hadn’t seen such a major event for a long time. Even though many people liked Jiang Chun, more were eager to see the school beauty fall from the altar.

The post’s content was straightforward, briefly explaining the situation. Despite lacking embellishments, netizens still imagined a dramatic romance rivalry between the two school beauties for the handsome guy.

No one dared to mention Shen Jun’s name, but everyone knew which “Shen” they were referring to. In just an hour, the post had already garnered thousands of comments.

“Could Jiang Chun have transferred classes due to Wen Nian’s pressure? To prevent her from being close to Shen?”

“Are you out of your mind, commenter above? What kind of family is the Jiang family? The Wen family is just an ordinary one. How could that be possible? It’s more believable that the Jiang family pressured Wen Nian into transferring.” “Wen Nian has been focusing on her studies and making noticeable improvements for over a year. How would she have the time for all this?”

“Wen Nian even acted in a movie recently. If she had ulterior motives, she might as well become a star. What a great opportunity! She has millions of fans! That’s something many celebrities don’t have!”

“I think Jiang Chun is just acting innocent. Always trying to appear good to everyone, but still showing off her uniqueness. She’s extremely beautiful, but I’m tired of her pretense.”

“Agree with the comment above. She’s scheming. Some boys just think she’s innocent and kind. But she has finally received retribution.””

“I don’t think she’s as pretty as Wen Nian. Who said she’s the school beauty? Does being a school beauty not depend on looks?”

“Although Wen Nian was a bit stupid for a while, the movie she acted in really caught my attention. That face of hers is undoubtedly that of a top-notch school beauty!”

“Exactly! I’ve always supported Wen Nian.. She’s the true school beauty of our school!”
