The rumour
"Tang Wei Sheng's girl."
Li Juan has been called by different names and titles, both derogatory and flattering, but among them, being called as Tang Wei Sheng's girl was the least expected, yet most fascinating form of address for her.
There was a time when Li Juan loved to hear it. It gave her a feeling of security and belonging.
But the moment Tang Wei Sheng left the country without a word, her title has been changed into something she never expected, not even in her worst nightmares.
A whore.
A seventeen-year-old girl, who had an innocuous personality was ruthlessly defamed and tortured by her fellow students on the basis of a malicious rumour spread on the student's online forum.
