The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof

"Qiao Anchu, what kind of nonsense are you spouting! My parents have an excellent relationship - how would my father ever do anything to Xiaren? You wicked girl, stop making unfounded claims and defaming my father. I swear, my mother will not let this slide!"

Huang Xiaohua slammed her hand on the table, her furious gaze directed at Qiao Anchu.

She was well aware of her father's lecherous tendencies, but airing these dirty secrets in front of everyone was a slap in her family's face, wasn't it?

A boy chimed in from the side: "Qiao Anchu, you're just jealous because your junior sister has become much prettier than you, so you're spreading gossip about her, aren't you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class burst into raucous laughter.

Qiao Anchu's face turned unsightly, her fists slowly clenching.

She remembered, this boy speaking up used to be her most loyal admirer. But now, he dared to humiliate her in front of so many people!

Unable to resist, Qiao Anchu looked up at the obvious derisive and contemptuous smile in Xiaren's eyes. It was as if her mind had been brutally jabbed; she wanted nothing more than to tear Xiaren to shreds.

This damn woman!

Xiaren, of course, noticed Qiao Anchu's resentment. She walked towards her, laughing lightly. Her clear, black eyes, framed by thick lashes, shimmered like a veil of mystery.

The curve of her lips as she laughed was brighter than the sun.

Everyone watching Ria laughed could only think one thing.

Qiao Xiaren was so beautiful - so incredibly, mind-bendingly beautiful!

This kind of beauty, so staggering that it pierces through to your soul.

That belonged to the girl before their eyes, Qiao Xiaren.

God only knew she was only seventeen, but her natural, off-the-charts beauty, that soul-stirring beauty, stirred up an urge to kneel, even worship, her.

"Qiao Anchu, please explain here why you're accusing me of having inappropriate relations with someone," Qiao Xiaren towered over Qiao Anchu by a half head, "please provide your evidence in front of everyone!"

Xiaren looked down on Qiao Anchu, clearly wanting her to explain the accusation of "seducing" people in front of everyone.

In her past life, she was too weak and hadn't realized the importance of this matter. By the time she had caught on, Qiao Anchu had already spread her scandals on a grand scale, and the label of "seductress" had already been unfairly pinned on her.

Because of her previous ignorance, Qiao Anchu had found an opportunity to repeatedly smear her reputation in Shanshui Town, even throughout the entertainment industry, under the pretext of her "seducing" others.

This time, she absolutely wouldn't let such a thing happen again. These rumors should be dealt with strictly and eliminated promptly.

Wasn't it enough to oppress her with beauty? Now they wanted to pressure her with momentum. Qiao Anchu suddenly found herself struggling to breathe in front of Qiao Xiaren.

"What explanation?"

Qiao Anchu avoided her gaze, seemingly reluctant to answer this question.

Seeing her attempting to evade the question, Qiao Xiaren scoffed, deciding it was pointless to further argue with her, and instead turned to the teacher.

"Teacher, please stand up for me."

Qiao Xiaren's eyes were clear and righteous. The teacher looked at the girl before her and, despite her small stature, she possessed an indomitable spirit.

With Xiaren's parents not around since young and being of tender age, she had no choice but to seek help from her in this case of being bullied. On thinking this, the teacher couldn't help but feel more sympathy for Xiaren.
