Chapter 46 The Diffusion of Rumors

"Of course, we believe in you! Just look at your great figure, and your appearance is definitely not lacking. Why doubt yourself? You need to be confident and believe in yourself!"

Her roommates nodded without hesitation, brimming with trust.

"Then I'll give it a try."

With so many people believing in her, she couldn't afford to stay in this state of self-doubt any longer!

With this thought in mind, Gao Qilan began adjusting her posture in front of the mirror.

"With a figure like yours, if I were a talent scout, I'd definitely pull you over to be our model!"

The words of her roommates also gave Gao Qilan a lot of confidence.

"Alright."

With a newfound confidence, Gao Qilan, An Xinchu, and their other roommate all continued to work tirelessly for their new store. However, at the same time, an unexpected visitor quietly arrived.

Upon returning to the dormitory, Zhou Bin became increasingly angry. He couldn't understand why he seemed inferior to An Xinchu in Chu Xinxin's eyes.

"Am I really that bad? Chu Xinxin doesn't even want to look at me a bit longer, yet she's so eager to be with An Xinchu."

Zhou Bin glanced at his lackeys, flexing his muscles with clenched teeth.

He couldn't comprehend why An Xinchu could gain so much favor with Chu Xinxin, when he was clearly a better match for her!

His lackeys huddled together, too afraid to speak!

Zhou Bin's temper flared easily; even if they had thoughts, they dared not speak them aloud.

"Why is everyone so quiet? Are you whispering about me over there?"

Zhou Bin's expression immediately darkened.

These lackeys just wanted to plead their innocence, but they couldn't speak. What did Zhou Bin want them to do!

"Boss, I don't think it's necessary to pay so much attention to Chu Xinxin. Since she doesn't appreciate you, just ignore her for a few days. Maybe then she'll realize your worth."

Those who actively seek attention are not always valued, but if they're neglected for a while, they'll understand Zhou Bin's value.

"Oh, by the way, boss, regarding the rumors we spread earlier, everyone now knows. What should we do next?"

The lackey cautiously asked.

Regardless of whether An Xinchu was truly two-timing or not, if Zhou Bin said so, then it became fact.

These students naturally wouldn't care about the truth; as long as there was drama, they'd be the first to join in.

"Well done, well done. That's exactly what you should do. I want to see what An Xinchu can do now that his reputation is ruined."

Zhou Bin remembered the matter and smirked, his eyes filled with undisguised anger.

Meanwhile, Chu Xinxin was still at home, thinking about how to make the new store profitable within the first month. Suddenly, she received a call from her roommate.

"Hey, Xinxin, are you still with An Xinchu?"

Her roommate cautiously asked.

"No, I'm already home. What's up?"

Chu Xinxin was a bit puzzled by her roommate's call, as they rarely spoke to her voluntarily.

"I think you should stay away from An Xinchu. He's not a good guy."

Her roommate advised, sending various information from forums and other sources to Chu Xinxin's WeChat.

"These are just baseless rumors. The truth is completely different."

After seeing the various things said about her, Chu Xinxin couldn't help but chuckle. It was clear that these rumors were far from the truth, yet they were being spread.

"Didn't you like An Xinchu? Even though he knows you like him, he still wants to be with An Xinchu. Isn't that two-timing?"

Her roommate thought Chu Xinxin was so infatuated with An Xinchu that she would defend him.

"While I did like An Xinchu before, I wouldn't pursue him knowing he has a girlfriend. I have some principles."

Chu Xinxin spoke slowly, refuting the accusations.

"And when I went out with An Xinchu, he never hid the fact that he had a girlfriend. So where did you hear these rumors?"

Her roommates fell silent.

"Could it be Zhou Bin?"

Chu Xinxin searched her mind and remembered the only person who could benefit from spreading such rumors.

Her roommates hesitated to speak against Chu Xinxin's stance on the matter.

"But you're not really falling for An Xinchu, are you? You're known as the 'ageless beauty' in our department. I never thought An Xinchu would catch you before even making a move."

Chu Xinxin suppressed a laugh, feeling inexplicably amused. "I never said I liked An Xinchu. Don't just follow the crowd. Focus on your studies."

After the brief conversation with her roommates, Chu Xinxin called An Xinchu and recounted everything to him.

"What are you going to do about this? We can't let Zhou Bin spread these rumors unchecked!"

While An Xinchu might not care, he couldn't let this escalate.

"If Zhou Bin wants to spread rumors about me? He's not even worthy."

An Xinchu had paid little attention to what Zhou Bin did behind his back.

But that wasn't surprising.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it from here."

An Xinchu's tone was cold as he promised, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

Dealing with Zhou Bin's antics was a nuisance, but An Xinchu had other priorities, namely his tasks from the system.

"How are things on your end?"

An Xinchu had left the selection of the store and models to Chu Xinxin.

"Everything's sorted. I've selected some outfits from the ones they sent. We can open anytime."

Chu Xinxin worked quickly, already having chosen her favorite outfits and ready to start business.
