Chapter 57: Controlling the Votes

Shen Qiuyu abruptly stood up and went straight to the point. “Pfft, don’t flatter yourself. Sister Jing is miles ahead of her in terms of temperament and looks!”
She was clearly in front of her, but she still had to speak sarcastically. In her anger, Zhang Man forgot the difference in status and complained indignantly, “Shen Qiuyu, aren’t you just relying on your power and money? No one dares to go against you, so you’re forcing others to vote. If she’s that capable, don’t control the votes and we’ll see.”
Shen Qiuyu had never been afraid of anyone. She continued to retort, “You’re talking as if the Cheng family has no money or power. If you have the ability, you can control the votes too. You want to get first place without spending money or putting in any effort. You still have the cheek to spout nonsense.”
Zhang Man was so furious that she laughed. “The school belle selection is based on good looks.”
“Yeah, it’s about looks.” Shen Qiuyu said coldly, “Sister Jing’s good looks moved me, so I was willing to control the votes for her. Who asked her to not be good enough so no one helped her? To put it bluntly, she’s not good-looking nor charming. Even if she became the school belle, she would be embarrassed to flaunt it, afraid that others would misunderstand that my Yin High School only produces flower vases.”
Even the calm He Jing could not help but burst out laughing.
Shen Qiuyu’s mouth was too venomous. As expected of a vicious supporting actress like her. It was really impossible for her to not have some combat strength.
Cheng Yi’s face had obviously turned the color of puce, and she could no longer maintain her elegance. Zhang Man couldn’t argue with Shen Qiuyu, so she pulled at Cheng Yi and said, “Undercover operation. We don’t want to be the school belle anymore. Whoever wants it can go ahead.”
Cheng Yi was pulled at, but she didn’t move. Her hands curled tightly into fists.
How could she accept not being the school belle?
Yesterday, she had been questioned by He Ning and had already lost that round to He Jing. She had to get back at her no matter what.
She did not believe that He Jing would always be so lucky to be able to surpass her in every aspect. She did not want to hear Cheng Yue sigh at the dinner table and talk about He Jing’s outstanding past. She wanted to overtake He Jing and become someone that everyone looked up to.
She was the true heiress!
“Xiao Yi…” As if she knew what she was thinking, her other best friend, Liu Sisi, called out to her softly, “The Cheng family is no worse than the Shen family. Why don’t we control the votes too?”
She simply needed to spend some money to buy some votes and they’d definitely catch up.
Cheng Yi bit her lip and did not respond for a long time.
Until Sisi said, “It’s not that you don’t follow the rules. It’s that they’re too despicable. We were just defending ourselves.”
Cheng Yi nodded hesitantly.
The three of them no longer continued to argue with Shen Qiuyu. They returned to their seats and began to discuss the matter of buying tickets.
The school’s votes had all been bought by Shen Qiuyu, so there was not much to fight for. It was better to buy votes from other schools. After all, the school belle selection was an open event, so it was normal for other schools to join in the fun.
He Jing didn’t care what Cheng Yi was planning next. She handed a glass of water to Shen Qiuyu. She should be thirsty after speaking up for her. Shen Qiuyu still felt that it was a pity and advised, “Sister Jing, why don’t you participate? Look at Cheng Yi’s arrogance. Don’t tell me that you want her to suppress you? You’re clearly the most beautiful.”
Wu Yu echoed, “Yes, yes, Sister Jing. It’s meaningless if you don’t participate in the school belle selection.”
He Jing smiled but did not say anything. The female lead’s looks had always been in line with the public’s taste. If it were not for Shen Qiuyu’s strong canvassing for votes, few would have voted for her. She really felt that there was no need to feel that it was a waste.
As for the school hunk…
He Jing suddenly thought, “Was Yan Hanxi the school hunk before? How come I didn’t see any music videos he filmed with anyone else?”
Shen Qiuyu thought that He Jing was interested in Yan Hanxi but didn’t want to reveal it. She quickly replied, “Brother Xi has always been the school hunk, but he doesn’t want to shoot. No one in school dares to get him to do it, so the male lead in the music video is automatically replaced.”
“Oh- I’ He Jing understood. According to the laws of fiction, the male lead’s firsts should be reserved for the female lead. Presumably, after Cheng Yi became the school belle this year, Yan Hanxi would shoot a music video with her.
She was also anxious that the relationship was developing so slowly..
