Even though Qiao Qing had not confirmed that it was Mo Li who had run over Mo Zheng, the girl did nothing to clear up the rumors either. So everyone carried on with the belief that Mo Li was the culprit. Some even believed that the lack of news was because Mo Family had clamped down on all the mass media because they wanted to protect Mo Li.
A female student sidled up to Qiao Qing, she was Qiao Qingâs good friend. She was the class representative for the English subject, but she scored well in all the other subjects too. She was not goddess-like beautiful but she was beautiful in a harmless way.
Her name was Gao Mei, she was Qiao Qing and Mo Liâs classmate. She was also Mo Zhengâs number one fan. It was the reason why she was such good friends with Qiao Qing. Gao Mei did try to approach Mo Zheng through Mo Li before, after all, if she became good friends with her idolâs younger sister, she would have the chance of seeing her idol every day. However, not everyone was able to stand the original Mo Liâs temperament.
Taking advantage of Mo Familyâs influence, the original Mo Li ruled the school with an iron fist. Someone like Gao Mei didnât enter her sight at all. In fact, Mo Li had told Gao Mei to stop dreaming and not to have any wishful thinking!
They were not going to be friends because their identity and status were too different. Gao Mei was so beneath her that Mo Li was never going to be seen hanging out with her.
When this tragedy befell Mo Li, Gao Mei was over the moon. She was laughing even in her sleep. Why would it be wishful thinking for her to want to get closer to her idol? What was wrong with that? Who was Mo Li to judge her? If not for Mo Zheng, Gao Mei wouldnât have given Mo Li the time of her day!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âQing Qing, how is Brother Zheng?â Gao Mei asked Qiao Qing.
âMei Mei, donât worry! Brother Zheng is recovering well. He might have to live with some side effects but heâs doing well,â Qiao Qing smiled generously.
Mo Liâs rejection of Gao Meiâs âfriendshipâ already made the latter extremely resentment of the former, the added insult and ridicule Mo Li directed at Gao Mei only made Gao Mei angrier.
After her failure to endear herself to Mo Li, Gao Mei turned her attention to Qiao Qing. Granted Qiao Qing was just the unofficial adopted daughter, she was also much easier to deal with than Gao Mei. Compared to Mo Li, Qiao Qing was like an angel reborn!
Gao Mei pulled Qiao Qing along like the âbest friendsâ that they were. Gao Mei asked animatedly, âQing Qing, do you think itâs possible for me to go visit Brother Zheng? Iâve prepared many things for him, theyâre all good for his recovery.â Gao Mei pleaded with Qiao Qing. âBrother Zheng needs fans like us to be by his side especially at a time like this. We need to let him know that we will always support him!â
âBrother Zheng is residing in a private ward, no one, other than his family, is allowed visitation. Itâll be a violation of hospital policy if I bring you there. But I will be sure to relay your presents and good intentions to him. Iâm sure heâll be happy to hear from you. But for now, we should let him focus on his convalesce.â Qiao Qing saw through Gao Meiâs ploy easily. She would not disturb Mo Zheng just to satisfy a small fan of his. After all, for someone as popular as Mo Zheng, one less fan was really no big loss.
Besides, it was Gao Meiâs fault for imagining many things in that mind of hers. Then again, Qiao Qing didnât waste any opportunity to feed that imagination either.
Qiao Qing was not going to ruin her relationship with Mo Zheng for such an insignificant character.
Gao Mei could not hide the disappointment on her face. âIn that case, can you bring the clay figurine I made for Brother Zheng to him too? I wonât go to disturb him rest.â
Qiao Qing immediately saw the disappointment on Gao Meiâs face and added, âMei Mei, once Brother Zheng is much better and heâs given the choice to go home to rest, Iâll make sure youâll be the first to have the chance to visit him, and then weâll organize a group among our friends to go to the Mo Family home to visit him together!â
Qiao Qingâs words almost brought tears to Gao Meiâs eyes.
âQing Qing, youâre an angel. Youâre more than a hundred times better than Mo Li. No wonder everyone falls in love with you! Youâre perfect in both your personality and studies, you act more like the real daughter of the prestigious Mo Family than that bitch!â
âMei Mei! Your mouth is still unforgiving as ever.â Qiao Qing smiled. âBut donât let her hear you or sheâll come after you again.â
Gao Mei rolled her eyes. âHell, I wanted her to hear me. After all, the entire school now has known her true colors. No one will side with her anymore! Weâre too cultured to really do anything to the bitch...â Gao Mei would definitely not dare to speak in such a manner in the past. Even when she was mocking Mo Li behind her back, she was careful about who was around her. But now that everyone had turned on the prissy bitch, there was no reason for her to stand on tip toes anymore!
Furthermore, there wasnât really anything more Gao Mei could do other than to run her mouth about Mo Li as a revenge for her idol.
Gao Mei slunk close to Qiao Qing and then whispered, â...But that doesnât mean that other people wouldnât. Just you wait and see. The bitch will have her comeuppance now that she returns to school.â
Qiao Qingâs interest was piqued, âReally?â
âIâve already heard the rumors. That girl from our school has sworn to take revenge for Mo Zheng, she would make the bitch pay.â That girl was one of Mo Zhengâs biggest fan and the president of his fan club. She was also the daughter of the schoolâs director. She was the only person who could stand up to Mo Liâs dominance at school before the power balance shifted and people shied away from Mo Li. Every student at school had to refer to this girl deferentially as, âSister Xi.â
As an honorary schoolmate, Mo Zheng had his own fan club in the school, and the President was Zhou Xi.
After hearing the news about Mo Zhengâs injury and the fact that he might not be able to perform anymore, how could she not be mad?
In any case, Mo Liâs first day back to school after the incident was going to be interesting to say the least.
