Chapter 100 The Ugly Girl from the Countryside 22
Li Ziqi instantly understood the meaning behind his words, and her face twisted with rage. She was about to pounce on him fiercely, but Sun Ping'an smiled strangely, and then several men in uniforms and hats appeared behind him.
In an instant, they pinned Li Ziqi to the spot.
"Don't move!"
Li Ziqi collapsed to the ground, glaring viciously at Sun Ping'an. "He was an accomplice! He's the one who made me do it!"
Sun Ping'an quickly explained, "I know her, but I've been back in the city for a while now... I don't understand what she's saying."
Uncle Hat and his companion exchanged a glance and, being fair and impartial, suggested, "Why don't you come with us to the station to give a statement?"
Sun Ping'an did not refuse.
Seeing this, even the system was dumbfounded, never expecting to be able to escape so easily and use someone else to do the dirty work...
Simply put, even the most learned words couldn't adequately describe Sun Ping'an's cunning!
Qingyu was genuinely surprised to find that Sun Ping'an had this side to him. Although she didn't understand Sun Ping'an's actions, there was always some kind of inexplicable hatred in this world.
After the fire, the educated youth settlement was moved to a new location, which was even worse than the previous one, but no one said anything was wrong.
Uncle Hat came over, took a statement, examined the scene, and finally found a clue: a tinderbox left behind by Li Ziqi.
But we've already run out of tinder!
No one knew what was going on, not even Li Ziqi himself. Then, several other people appeared, claiming to have witnessed Li Ziqi buying tinder and even tung oil...
All the evidence came easily, directly pinning Li Ziqi to the crime.
Amidst their mixed feelings of regret and resentment, the crowd distanced themselves considerably from the other educated youth at the settlement.
After all, nobody wants their house to burn down. Even if you don't get hurt, your home is gone!
After this incident, Su Yining bid farewell to Qingyu and left without looking back.
Chang Jiaojiao wasn't envious at all. The villagers' attitudes didn't bother her much. On the contrary, she was happy because Qingyu didn't have many people around her anymore. Now, apart from Jiang Yuan, no one in the educated youth settlement could compete with her for her time.
Unfortunately, Qingyu's attitude towards Chang Jiaojiao was always indifferent, even less so than Liu Meifen's, which often left Chang Jiaojiao feeling disappointed.
Most people can only watch from afar.
"You've already been forced out of the game, you might as well think about what you'll do in the future." Jiang Yuan smiled sarcastically, then reached out and picked a flower from the ground beside him.
Chang Jiaojiao's eyes flickered, her gaze falling on the flower. She paused, then said, "Aren't you the same? They've all gone back to the city, why didn't you ask your family to help?"
Jiang Yuan waved his hand dismissively, "Going back to the city is pointless, I'd rather stay by the beauty's side."
In fact, his family situation was different. Although he had a strong background, he was not an only child. His family's possessions had long been handed over to his other siblings, so he didn't need to fight for them.
Moreover, while everyone else is focused on building their careers, he's now in a prime position to benefit from this opportunity—isn't that appealing?
Chang Jiaojiao could understand his thinking, but she didn't think he could succeed.
That is a flower on a high mountain, and it will have countless guardians.
Chang Jiaojiao keenly sensed something was amiss when Li Ziqi was defeated; someone must have been behind it all.
The two said nothing more and soon left separately.
The following spring, a new batch of educated youth arrived in the village. Compared to Chang Jiaojiao's group, this group of educated youth were, in Qingyu's eyes, completely ordinary people.
She's just a bit clingy.
Life in the village was peaceful. Qingyu was unwilling to go to the city to stir up trouble. She was lazy and wouldn't move an inch unless there was something in it for her.
Therefore, even though Sun Ping'an came back several times and wanted Qingyu to go to the city, she never went.
Even Sun's mother came several times, her attitude humble and even ingratiating, hoping that Qingyu could forgive her for her rudeness back then.
Qingyu still refused, her attitude cold and without saying anything else.
Even the system was somewhat confused. "Aren't you pursuing wealth and status? Sun Ping'an now wields immense power; don't you want to go?"
Qingyu took a sip of her flower tea, while Liu Meifen stood beside her, drying the newly arrived flower petals. The sunlight shone on the two of them, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
"I may be pleasure-seeking, but I'm not some wicked concubine who brings ruin to the country. What good would it do me to go around causing trouble? It's just too much trouble to go through the trouble of getting to know new people."
In Qingyu's eyes, there is no truly powerful protective umbrella in the world; the only one who can protect her is herself.
The system fell silent, then produced its latest found data—
"This is what I found on the system website about your current situation. Some people say you repaired your soul by absorbing the luck of the male and female leads, others say you collected admiration points... and still others say you might just be a female supporting character who makes a comeback..."
Qingyu's eyes sparkled as she chuckled and teased, "You still know how to do these things for me?"
The system blushed slightly, hesitated and didn't say anything, but simply pushed the data forward.
Qingyu chuckled softly and casually flipped through the pages.
The claims above are varied and bizarre. Many seasoned veterans of the system suspect that Qingyu is the reincarnation of some powerful figure, and some even say that Qingyu has a hidden identity...
She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, a hint of doubt in her eyes, "What kind of being was I before?"
The system pondered for a while before speaking carefully: "The first time I met you was when the former God pushed you to me. At that time, you were just an ordinary person, and there seemed to be nothing special about you."
Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes drooping down like a small fan to conceal the emotions in her eyes.
The system couldn't understand what she was thinking and was panicking. "Did you remember anything?"
Qingyu shook her head, a look of sadness appearing on her beautiful face. "You, you're already my commander, yet you're still so distant, actually hiding things from me about my past..."
Her tone was mournful, with a hint of allure that made even the system feel guilty.
Realizing what was happening, it shuddered and glared at the system with displeasure. "You have the nerve to use your femininity on a system like me?"
Qingyu smiled brightly, all traces of her previous grievances gone, like a blooming peach blossom, beautiful and charming.
Liu Meifen, who was standing to the side unaware of what was going on, wiped her drool and silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra several times in her mind before she could get rid of those sensual thoughts.
Waaaaah~ Watching it every day is a feast for the eyes, but it's so painful for my body and mind~
I want to kiss you, hug you, and lift you up high!
Liu Meifen was practically bubbling with embarrassment when she finally managed to ask a serious question, "Qingyu, if you could take the college entrance exam, which school would you like to go to?"
Qingyu's smile faded slightly, her clear eyes like mirrors, making Liu Meifen feel guilty. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Liu Meifen gave an awkward smile, then looked left and right before gritting her teeth and whispering, "This is... what my dad told me. He said there might be big changes in the country! A relative in our family who's in a high position said it..."
The captain had instructed Liu Meifen not to tell anyone, since the matter hadn't even come to light yet, and it would only cause trouble if it got out now.
But Liu Meifen couldn't hide anything from Qingyu and blurted it out.
She had expected to see Qingyu's shocked expression, but the latter's expression remained unchanged, as if she had known in advance.
