Ling Wanqing's Little Scheme

Ling Wanqing's Little Scheme

Since that was the case, Lin Yuan did not mind making an even bigger fuss and letting the entire school know.

He first registered a new account and posted reports about the matter on the school's and local official public accounts.

He also attached Xue Hongyun's crime video.

Most importantly, he needed to find the family of the victim, Wang Yan, and tell them the truth.

What happened afterward was no longer something he could control.

He replied to Gu Lianyin's message.

"I know."

It was a long time before she replied.

"Oh~"

Elsewhere, Gu Lianyin and her best friend lay sprawled all over the sofa, completely lacking the poise girls were supposed to have.

Ling Wanqing lay there watching a TV drama, a bag of chips in her hand. Whenever the show reached an exciting part, she crammed several chips into her mouth.

Gu Lianyin was much more reserved. Though her lounging posture was hardly elegant, she at least maintained the ethereal goddess image some people had of her.

She was sleeping with her eyes closed.

"Wanqing~"

Gu Lianyin slowly spoke her best friend's name. "Tell me~ should I really invite Lin Yuan to my birthday?"

Ling Wanqing was completely absorbed in the TV and did not even raise her head. "Sure, let him come. It's not like I disagree. Besides, I want to get a good look at what this Lin Yuan actually looks like. Can he really be as great as you say?"

"Of course. Lin Yuan is genuinely good to me. He helped me make money, tutored me, and also..."

"Oh, oh, oh. Did the sun rise in the west today? Since when did my Lianyin start praising a guy?"

"None of your business, hmph!"

Gu Lianyin ignored her. Then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly grew troubled.

"Wanqing, Lin Yuan still doesn't know that I disguised myself as ugly at school. He doesn't know what I really look like. If he comes, what should I look like when I meet him?"

Ling Wanqing said, "Obviously, you should keep looking ugly."

"Think about it. If an ugly guy suddenly turned into a handsome guy one day, what would you think?"

Gu Lianyin thought for a moment and cautiously asked, "I'd be shocked, then pleasantly surprised... and pursue him?"

"Exactly!" Ling Wanqing smiled. "If Lin Yuan suddenly finds out that his ugly deskmate is actually a gorgeous beauty, he'll definitely be shocked, then chase after you like crazy!"

Gu Lianyin felt that her best friend made sense and decided not to show her real face on her birthday.

Still, with her outfit, she could reveal just a tiny bit of her slender figure.

Then Gu Lianyin ran into her room to pick out what she would wear on her birthday.

Ling Wanqing could only shake her head as she watched.

Her best friend whom she had grown up playing with.

Her silly best friend who had never been in a relationship.

Did she really want to fall in love now?

This Lin Yuan... why was he so good to Lianyin?

Ling Wanqing knew very well how hard it was to find a guy who was somewhat handsome and tall, did well in school, was considerate and caring, and treated his ugly deskmate so well.

At least, during the time she had disguised herself as ugly, she had not met even one.

So she worried that Lianyin had been deceived.

Could he be after her money?

Lin Yuan had borrowed more than a million from Lianyin to buy stocks. If they split the profits fifty-fifty, he had also earned several hundred thousand.

So he probably was not after her money.

Then was he after her body?

Please. Lianyin looked so ugly in disguise that not even an idiot would pursue her.

But if it was neither for money nor sex, what was it for?

Ling Wanqing truly could not figure it out, but she had a plan. She decided to test Lin Yuan on Lianyin's birthday.

Lianyin would be disguised as ugly that night.

But that did not mean she had to disguise herself as ugly too!

Just imagine it: a very beautiful girl standing beside a very ugly girl. Which girl would draw a guy's attention?

The answer was obvious.

Ling Wanqing was doing this because she wanted to tell Gu Lianyin that men were all animals who thought with their lower halves.

She could not put too much faith in a man's gentleness, thoughtfulness, concern, and care. Faced with the dazzling temptations outside, even the best man would be drawn in.

Lin Yuan took a taxi to an elementary school classmate's home.

That classmate was a hardcore anime-loving shut-in girl, and her family was not short of money, so her room was filled with figurines of various anime characters.

Lin Yuan had arranged with her today to buy one of her Honor of Kings figurines at a high price as a birthday gift for Lianyin.

Lianyin liked playing Honor of Kings, and the hero she played most often was Da Qiao.

Her skills could only be described as terrible, hopeless, and yet she loved playing.

The two had queued together for ranked matches a few times. Every time, Gu Lianyin either cast her ultimate under an enemy tower or randomly threw down her circle, sending full-health teammates back to base.

She was often greeted warmly by her teammates.

But whenever Lianyin turned on voice chat, her teammates would become gentle.

They would say things like, "It's okay, miss. Stick with me and I'll carry you," and so on.

So Lin Yuan planned to give Lianyin a White Crane Ridge Goddess Da Qiao figurine as a birthday gift.
