33 A very good actress
Following Xiao Yi's accusation, Shen Changying's eyes widened in shock.
"Yi Jie, what rubbish! Why would I make that post? Xu Xinya and I have been like sisters since we were little. Who told you this? This is an absolute lie! In fact, I had just come to know about that post a minute earlier!" Shen Changying denied vehemently. After all, she still remembered her parents' words. They asked her to get close to Xu Xinya and learn who was Xu Groups' mysterious backer.
That was supposed to be her real objective. Not to bring trouble for Xu Xinya.
It was already a very difficult feat for Shen Changying. She hated that Xu Xinya to the core. To gain her trust, she would have to be pleasing in Xu Xinya's eyes. For that, she would have to conceal her hatred and at the same time be flattering and sugary towards Xu Xinya.
Shen Changying would rather drink vomit than do that.
However, those were, after all, her parent's words. She could not ignore them either.
"What evidence you have to accuse Ying Jie!" Yin Yu came forward to defend Shen Changying. She herself didn't know that Shen Changying was the original poster.
Xiao Yi scoffed: "Do you think we are idiots? Back in high school, Shen Changying was the class monitor. She was assigned the duty of compiling and printing the midterm results. Who, other than her, would have a copy of Xu Xinya results?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, whatever Yin Yu had up her throat to defend Shen Changying stuck in there. In confusion, she glanced at Shen Changying.
Xiao Yi laughed: "Shen Changying, you are really an idiot. You could have used a photograph of Xu Xinya's result card and I would never have suspected you. But you directly used the original result. Who in the world would have that other than you? Even if now you deny being the one who posted it, you are still at fault for providing the original results with the one who posted it."
Class Monitors were supposed to delete the Grade results after getting the department to print them out. The fact that Shen Changying had still kept that result was against the rules.
"Ying Jie, was it you?" Yin Yu directed her question.
Just like her, after Xiao Yi brought the truth in front of everyone, they were all seeing Shen Changying in a different light.
"Xu Xinya, t-trust me it was not me." Shen Changying panicked. She didn't care for people deriding looks towards her. But if Xu Xinya blamed her and started to ignore her, she would be unable to achieve what her parents had tasked her.
After being convicted and proven guilty by Xiao Yi, even Yin Yu was reluctant to say something in Shen Changying's defense.
"Ying Jie, I really assumed you treated me like a sister." A hurtful expression appeared on Xu Xinya's face. It was apparent that she had already assumed Shen Changying guilty.
Hearing her words, both Xiao Yi and Shen Changying's faces changed their colors.
Shen Changying's face twisted in dread. She felt like she had finally crossed the line and done something that pushed Xu Xinya away. She couldn't afford to fall out with Xu Xinya!
Before this point, Xu Xinya had never confronted Shen Changying. Even at that time when Xu Xinya had 'accidentally' exposed Shen Changying and Wang Yuefang, Xu Xinya had apologized. Even now, Xu Xinya had been rude only towards Yin Yu. When Shen Changying had asked a question, Xu Xinya had fallen silent.
In Shen Changying's eyes, it was because Xu Xinya still considered her a sister.
Now that there was disappointment in Xu Xinya's eyes, it was obvious Xu Xinya blamed her.
'No! I can't let this happen! My parents would scold me if I don't gain her trust and discover her mysterious backer!'
How could Shen Changying have known, even before Xu Xinya had taken her first step in the Springfield University, she had already found about Shen Changying's treacherous nature?
On the other hand, Xiao Yi's face changed color because she was having a hard time suppressing her laughter.
'Ya'er, your acting is obviously superb! Are you certain you don't want to take acting courses alongside me?'
