Xu Qingqing was a bit stunned by her sudden plea for mercy.
Her heart softened involuntarily.
Wang Pan didn't seem to be lying.
Xu Qingqing automatically sorted out her thoughts and had a general idea.
She had a faint speculation in her mind.
Before, Lu Chuanbai said he was going to investigate who was behind the harm to her. Now Wang Pan called, suspecting that it was Xu Qingqing who did it.
So it was very likely that Lu Chuanbai had already found out the person but kept it from her and avenged her.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Qingqing knew that she couldn't be honest with Wang Pan about her speculation now.
"This wasn't done by me, and I won't take revenge on you. You can rest assured. As for who wants to deal with you, you can check it out yourself."
"Since you could send someone to harm me, don't you have a way to find out who envies and hates you? Check it out yourself."
With that, Xu Qingqing hung up the phone.
Wang Pan stared blankly at the phone that had been hung up.
Xu Qingqing didn't seem to be lying, so... it really wasn't her?
After the classes ended that day, Wang Pan didn't go back with her roommates. Instead, she found a senior who she was on good terms with and asked him to help figure out this matter.
As for that post, it was deleted after her frantic reports.
When she returned to the dormitory, the door was half - open, and the voices inside could be clearly heard.
"Do you think Wang Pan's reputation is completely ruined this time? She won't be able to act like a goddess anymore. Actually, I've disliked her for a long time. She's always so arrogant. She thinks all the men in the world should revolve around her. Look at Xu Qingqing. She's the real low - key big shot."
"Exactly. She always looked so proud. But what happened? When she went to the bar, she was more promiscuous than the dancers. My God, how could she have sex with so many men? If I were her, I would have dropped out of school long ago. I'd be too ashamed to stay on campus."
Li Si couldn't help but say, "Come on, let's stop gossiping about this. Since this matter was exposed on the school forum, Panpan must be very desperate. As her roommates, we should be her back - up."
The others couldn't help but scoff. "Li Si, you're such a goody - two - shoes. We're not as noble as you. We can't do that. It's already the best we can do not to tell others. You don't know how hard we've been holding it in."
Just then, Wang Pan pushed open the door.
She had a cold face and a fierce look in her eyes. "I didn't know you've been harboring grudges against me for so long. Well, are you enjoying my misfortune now? Let me ask you, did you post those photos on the school forum?"
The two girls who had spoken ill of her earlier showed a flash of embarrassment on their faces. But since they had been found out by Wang Pan, there was no point in hiding it. They said directly, "This matter of yours is really embarrassing. We just gossiped about it behind your back. What's wrong with that? Now the whole school is talking about you. We don't want to hurt you either, but the fact is what it is. What's the use of you getting angry at us?"
"Yeah, we didn't do this. Don't wrong us just because you can't find the culprit. We're not that low - class."
"Hehe." Wang Pan sneered twice.
"Why didn't you say that when you were enjoying all the benefits with me before? Now you're so quick to distance yourselves from me."
Li Si stepped forward to persuade her. "Come on, Panpan. Let's just let this matter go. We're still roommates. There's no need to make things like this."
Wang Pan shook off her hand and was even angry with Li Si.
"Don't play the good guy here. Since this didn't happen to you, of course you think it doesn't matter!"
"Hehe. You can stay in this dorm. I'll go and talk to the teacher about changing my dorm. I also hope you'll keep your promise and won't tell others about my business!"
The roommates said impatiently, "Don't worry. We said we won't tell, and we definitely won't do such a thing."
Wang Pan directly left the dormitory and went to find the class advisor.
When the advisor saw her coming, his expression was also a bit complicated.
"Wang Pan, you're here. I just happen to have something to talk to you about."
Wang Pan had a bad premonition, but still smiled on her face. "Please tell me, teacher."
"Okay, then I won't beat around the bush. I've seen the post on the school forum. I want to ask you, is the person in it you?"
Under the teacher's gaze, Wang Pan knew there was no need to deceive the teacher, so she nodded. Her eyes were red, and she looked a bit aggrieved. "Teacher, I'm not such a person. I was drugged, on the day of the school get - together. I don't know why they just picked me."
"Teacher, I'm the victim."
The teacher nodded. "Okay, I know."
"What I want to tell you is that this matter actually has a certain impact on you at school. What I mean is, since your grades are good, it won't be a problem for you to study at home. How about this? You go home and rest for half a month."
"After half a month, this matter should have faded from everyone's memory. What do you think?"
Although it was a questioning tone, Wang Pan knew her teacher. Since the teacher said such things, it meant this was already the school's decision.
She knew she had no room to resist, so she nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll follow your advice. Thank you, teacher, for your understanding."
Suddenly, she remembered something and said to the teacher, "Teacher, actually, I came here today because my roommates went to the bar with me that day, but only I had an accident. I thought they would understand me, but I didn't expect to hear them speaking ill of me when I got back today."
"So, teacher, I was thinking of changing my dorm when I come back. Is that okay?"
The teacher hesitated slightly, then smiled. "Look, since this matter has already been exposed, giving you a half - month vacation can be explained as you being physically unwell. But if you change your dorm, it's like admitting to others that there are conflicts in your dorm. It's very easy for people to associate it with the post on the forum."
"It's also like you're admitting it. So I think it's better not to change the dorm. And it's just right that you rest for half a month and adjust your mindset. What do you think?"
Wang Pan sneered inwardly.
The teacher said it so nicely, but wasn't it just because they were afraid that this matter would have a bad impact on the school if it got out?
Forget it. Anyway, graduation was coming soon. Whatever.
"Okay, I'll follow your advice, teacher."
Wang Pan acted very obedient.
On the other hand, when Xu Qingqing and the others were in the tomb, they found that a ceramic ware was severely damaged. Although Xu Qingqing could tell what it originally looked like, she didn't have much experience in restoring ceramics.
