Chapter 63 -62 Qu Wanwan’s Resentment
As she was leaving, the driver called out to her with a serious expression,

“Some Energy Fruit isn’t completely purified, it’s best to eat less. Having a healthy body is more important than anything else.”
Qu Tong was taken aback, then smiled in response, “Thank you.”
The driver nodded, then drove the hover car away with a “whoosh.”
Uh…
Qu Tong’s location was right across the street from the shopping district opposite the school, where the entrance to the First Military Academy was already crowded with students and their parents.
Today was the annual spring enrollment day for the First Military Academy, and the entire school zone was a no-fly area. Whether freshers or seniors, everyone had to report through the main entrance.
Things were in order thanks to the older students maintaining discipline, but behind them, the crowd was starting to get congested.
Qu Tong sighed, it seemed she had arrived too early.
Frowning at the sea of people in front of her, Qu Tong was torn between joining the line now or taking a look around the shopping area first and coming back later.
Just then, she heard a voice she really didn’t want to hear.
“Little sister!”
This was unmistakably the tongue-tied voice of her ever so pretentious cousin, wasn’t it?
Qu Tong stepped away, preferring to find a spot to browse the star net rather than exchange pleasantries with her.
Qu Wanwan, holding her dress in one hand and a paper bag in the other, saw Qu Tong walking away and hurriedly ran a few steps forward, reaching out to grab Qu Tong.
Unfortunately, she grasped at air and almost stumbled forward because of her unstable center of gravity.
“Ah!”
Qu Tong looked back at the sound, feeling somewhat impressed.
Her cousin had always played the part of the delicate beauty flawlessly.
Crying out in such a tender and appealing way, she had twisted her body just before hitting the ground to avoid falling face-first, the movement so practiced it seemed rehearsed in advance.
The startled crowd around her instinctively opened up a circle.
Just as Qu Tong was preparing to leave, she was blocked by the rushing figure of Qu Jiaojiao.
“Qu Tong! You can’t leave. You made Wanwan fall, and now you want to walk away as if nothing happened?”
Qu Tong, looking at Qu Jiaojiao defending Qu Wanwan, said impatiently, “Step aside.”
“I won’t move until you apologize to Wanwan. Everyone is watching, don’t think you can just deny it. It’s because of you that Wanwan fell,” Qu Jiaojiao deliberately raised her voice to be heard by everyone around.
“Jiaojiao, don’t be too hard on your second sister,” Qu Wanwan said as she sat up, cradling one hand with the other, cunningly revealing a reddened wrist, eliciting pity.
Their call and response quickly swayed the surrounding spectators’ sympathy toward them.
Qu Tong felt so embarrassed by their clichéd tactics that she didn’t even want to leave anymore. She turned back, crossed her arms, and watched Qu Wanwan spill what other classic lines she might have.
Despite being watched leisurely by Qu Tong, Qu Wanwan didn’t break down and remained seated on the ground, slowly picking up the small boxes that had spilled cookies, her voice full of feigned grievance, “Second sister, I never meant to blame you. I just called out to you because I wanted to know why, after returning to Capital Star, you never came home to visit?”
Whispered conversations had already started amongst the crowd.
A tall and attractive couple made their way through the crowd that parted for them.
“Wanwan, what happened to you?”
Lan Xingye knelt down, concerned, and was about to help Qu Wanwan up, but she pushed a bag into his hands instead.
With a voice filled with self-reproach and eyes full of expectation, she said, “I’m alright, this is the fruit-flavored cookies I took a long time to make. I’ve just fallen, but the packaging is still intact.”
It was hard not to feel compassion for such a high-level green tea act, and Lan Xingye was of course willing to show tenderness to the beautiful damsel.
Considering that Qu Wanwan had invited him here presumably to give him the homemade gift, it seemed all the more believable.
Lan Xingye glanced around the crowd, his gaze pausing momentarily on Qu Tong, then he lowered his voice to ask Qu Wanwan, “Wanwan, did she push you?”
Although it was a question, the tone was very certain.
Qu Tong, who was making eye contact with Lan Weiying, withdrew her gaze and suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.
Qu Wanwan bowed her head in self-pity and did not answer, but her attitude made the problem very clear.
“Come over, help Wanwan up, and bow 90 degrees to apologize, and I’ll let you off today,” Lan Xingye commanded condescendingly.
As if his speaking out should make others feel eternally grateful.
“Third Young Master, there’s no need, my sister is now the Princess Consort, a person of noble status, I’m fine,” Qu Wanwan said gently, tugging at Lan Xingye’s sleeve.
Qu Tong hadn’t said a word throughout the whole episode; they themselves had played out the entire drama.
She had wanted to see what they would do to her if she refused to apologize.
But when she saw Lan Xingye’s reflexively raised and then lowered arm, and the fleeting jealousy in Qu Wanwan’s averted gaze, she suddenly changed her mind.
“Cousin, tell me, how could you have been pushed by me when I didn’t even touch you?”
Qu Tong raised a smile of pure innocence and stepped closer.
It made Qu Wanwan suddenly remember the oppressive feeling she felt that day at the Qu Family, and she was momentarily at a loss for words:
“I…”
Just when Qu Wanwan was thinking about how to make Qu Tong unable to refute, a fair and slender hand reached out in front of her.
When watery eyes met Qu Tong’s smiling starry gaze, there was a touch of disbelief.
“Wanwan, get up first,” prompted Lan Xingye who was standing beside her, allowing Qu Wanwan to react and reach out her hand in triumph.
This pull seemingly confirmed the accusation that Qu Tong had pushed her.
Who knew that just as she was halfway up, while their heads were close together, she heard Qu Tong whisper maliciously, “Being the Princess Consort is really nice. His Highness said all his money is for me to spend, he even paid the taxes for me, and in the future, I also want to build a big farm.”
Qu Wanwan trembled violently, and before jealousy could spread, a strong force from the hand pushed her entire body backward.
She heard her ask, “Was it like this when I pushed you?”
“Ah!”
The force was too great, Qu Wanwan had no time to react, her cry somewhat broken.
And Lan Xingye, who was standing behind Qu Wanwan, ended up cushioning her fall, smashing his abdomen until it faintly ached.
Even more impressive was that in the instant Lan Xingye fell to the ground, he almost reflexively flipped Qu Wanwan over onto the floor.
This time she truly landed face down.
“Pfft~” Qu Tong laughed unabashedly.
It had to be said, nicely done!
When Lan Xingye came to his senses, his face darkened, but hearing Qu Wanwan’s wail, he still went to help her up.
Qu Jiaojiao also exclaimed in shock and quickly came forward to assist.
Qu Wanwan’s delicate dress was now covered in dust and wrinkles, leaving her in total dishevelment.
“Wanwan, are you alright?”
“Wuwuwu~” Qu Wanwan threw herself into Lan Xingye’s arms, crying pitifully, while not forgetting to cover her face with both hands.
Her face burned with pain, surely she must be disfigured, her palms felt sticky, her knees were throbbing with pain, and the ground outside was not like at home; she knew without thinking how disheveled she must look now.
The dark hatred in her heart surged!
Wretched woman! She cursed her to a terrible end!
Lan Xingye’s shoulders twitched, and with great difficulty, he held back the urge to push the person away again.
