Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Face-Slapping! 2
Pei Hong was heartbroken, realizing there were many flaws in this matter, but at that moment, seeing the long-lost Fuxi Finger Technique made him too excited to seriously investigate.
Moreover, he never expected that someone in reality would dare do such a brazen thing!
To usurp someone else’s reputation and get everything she wants—how terrifying is that scheming!
Not only that, she even went as far as to have cosmetic surgery on her hands. How ruthless must she be to harm her own body like that?
When Ruan Shushu first came to see him, her hands were wrapped in bandages. What did she say back then? She said her muscles and bones were strained and that she’d be unable to play the piano for half a year.
Pei Hong suddenly felt foolish, completely played by someone.
Does a muscle strain require so many bandages?
Regret loomed, deep and overwhelming.
Mistaking a pearl for fish eyes, but treating fish eyes as pearls!
Witnessing this scene, Yan Yuexian was slightly surprised; she evidently hadn’t anticipated the video call and the “Plum Blossom Three Strains” performance.
She remembered Xia Weibao casually mentioning while teaching her to play the piano that Ruan Shushu had requested her to play “Plum Blossom Three Strains.”
The more she thought about it, the more it filled her with fear.
Ruan Shushu, what kind of terrifying scheming does this woman possess!
And what sort of family nurtures such a daughter!
Within high society, she’s familiar with the intrigue and rivalry among young ladies of wealthy families; she’s also adept at deception and trickery, but she considers herself to have basic principles.
But Ruan Shushu lacks any boundaries.
At this moment, Ruan Shushu had her head lowered, her body trembling.
She raised her hand and wiped away her tears, “Master, I’m sorry…”
“Why did you do this!”
Pei Hong was heartbroken, never having imagined that his proud disciple would turn out to be such a person!
For her, he even pulled strings to get her admitted early to Imperial City University!
Now, everything he had done for her was like a slap in the face!
Ruan Shushu sobbed quietly, her eyes reddened, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”
As she spoke, tears streamed down, “I was clearly the top scorer in arts for the college entrance exams, but missed Imperial City University by just one point in cultural subjects. I was unwilling to accept it.
My classmates laughed at me, they reveled in my misfortune. Back then, I was so desperate, and then Master, you found me. I hadn’t initially planned to impersonate Xia Weibao, I just wanted you to open a back door for me to enter Imperial City University.
I originally intended to confess after receiving the Imperial City University’s acceptance letter, but Master, you were too good to me, I…
I lost my mind momentarily, I really didn’t mean it.”
The more she spoke, the more sorrowfully she cried, her gaze almost pleading, “Master, I’m sorry, I know I was wrong. Please don’t expel me from Imperial City University, and don’t kick me out of the National Studies Association. If this matter gets out, my life will be ruined, Master…”
Her pleas, one after another, softened Pei Hong’s heart.
Indeed, if he exposed this matter, such a scandal, it would ruin Ruan Shushu’s life.
She’s only nineteen, in the prime of her youthful days.
And she has potential; even if she hadn’t entered the National Studies Association back then, she still had a promising future.
If he pursued this matter, it would be akin to personally destroying the future of a young girl, too cruel.
Seeing Pei Hong’s heart soften, Ruan Shushu felt secretly delighted, there might be a chance!
