Chapter 473: Chapter 7: Tycoon System (7)

Mu Yun walked on the school road, always feeling that recently everyone looked at her strangely.

She didn’t know what happened and didn’t pay attention to it.

Until one day, she went to the bathroom and heard two girls gossiping in the stall, saying she was being kept by someone, which is why she dressed so well, like a seductress.

The words were really nasty.

Mu Yun was furious, put on her pants immediately, pushed open the stall door, and went to confront the two girls.

“What do you mean, slandering me like that? Who’s keeping me? With such nasty words, are you even human?”

One of the girls said, “Mu Yun, it’s not us who spread the word. The whole school knows you’re being kept, and it was your ex-boyfriend who said it. Though I think they’re right, you’re an orphan who used to dress so dowdy, often working outside, where’d you get the money to dress up and live in a high-end community now?”

“You claim you’re not being kept, yet you dress so fashionably now? You do it and won’t let people talk about it?”

The girl speaking was quite jealous too, not only was Mu Yun beautiful, but she also dressed more fashionably lately.

Out of jealousy, her words were ruthless.

Mu Yun sneered, “I have money, so I’m being kept? Then when you spend money, are you being kept by lots of people? I tell you, every penny I use is clean, and for defaming me like this, wait for the lawyer’s letter.”

“Humph, if you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it. Go ahead and sue, I want to see how you sue everyone in the school.”

“Besides, we weren’t the ones who spread it, why would we be afraid of you?”

Mu Yun knew this wasn’t easy to handle, she couldn’t really sue the whole school, right?

She remembered that the girl said it was her ex-boyfriend who spread the word about her being kept.

Gritting her teeth, Mu Yun stormed out to the playground to look for Ye Guyue for confrontation.

Recently, Ye Guyue was living his best life, Hu Qianqian was very considerate, occasionally paying for meals, and she was gentle, with a wealthy family, truly an ideal girlfriend.

He was playing in a basketball game, and Hu Qianqian cheered for him from the sidelines, so Ye Guyue was particularly suave and lively on the court.

Suddenly, a girl shouted angrily, “Ye Guyue, what are you plotting by ruining my reputation?”

Ye Guyue stopped and saw that it was Mu Yun.

He felt that Mu Yun looked somewhat unfamiliar now.

Mu Yun was dressed too prettily, with light makeup, totally incomparable to the Cinderella she was before.

Now, Mu Yun looked more like a lady from a noble family, even more beautiful and poised than Hu Qianqian.

Thinking about how he never got to be with this woman made Ye Guyue feel oddly regretful.

“Mu Yun, long time no see.”

“Ye Guyue, there’s no need for this. I heard you’ve been telling others I’ve been kept? The whole school knows? Why are you spreading such false information?”

Ye Guyue was stunned for a moment, he didn’t spread it around, he only told Qianqian.

Hu Qianqian’s gaze faltered a bit.

She was somewhat upset when Ye Guyue told her. Just thinking about how this woman still occupied Ye Guyue’s mind made her angry.

Then she thought, weren’t you being kept? And you’re still flirting with my boyfriend.

With this in mind, she shared the story with some gossip-loving girls.

In the end, the rumor spread, and initially, she was a bit worried.

But later she thought, if you dared to do it, why be afraid of others talking?

Seeing Mu Yun giving Ye Guyue a hard time, Hu Qianqian rushed up, “Mu Yun, aren’t you aware of your own situation? Where else would you get the money if not being kept? You do it, yet fear people talking?”

Other cheerleader girls around also started jeering.

Mu Yun’s face turned grim, “Do you have evidence I’m being kept? I’m telling you, I’m not, and saying I am is slander. I’m not afraid to confront you, and if you dare to say one more word, I’ll go to the principal. If I don’t get an explanation, I won’t let it go.”

This made those girls hesitant to speak.

Mu Yun sneered, “That’s right, I didn’t have money before. I’m an orphan, very poor, but I have my standards. The money I have is clean and all saved by myself, plus I found a good job, so I don’t worry about not earning money in the future. So, making my life better now, what’s wrong with that?”

“Saying I live in a high-end area means I’m being kept? Yes, I live in a high-end community, but I’m only renting a small studio, it doesn’t cost much. Eating at fancy restaurants is because I’m there for taste testing, providing reports to them. What did I do wrong for you to slander me like this?”

The taste testing was indeed true, before when Mu Yun ate at a restaurant, having a high level of expertise, she pointed out some issues to the restaurant, who appreciated it, waived the bill, and even gave her a card for half-price future meals.

Concerned about her reputation, Mu Yun decided to escalate the matter, bringing it to the principal.

The principal even brought it up specially on Monday, admonishing everyone that as intellectuals, they shouldn’t spread rumors or maliciously speculate about others.

Mu Yun managed to turn the tables, but also exposed her financial status.

However, no one at school wanted to get close to her.

Mu Yun was unhappy, but there was nothing she could do.

But she thought, now that she’s earning more money every day, one day she’ll just throw money at them.

Coldly watching Ye Guyue and Hu Qianqian flirting, Mu Yun sneered inside.

One day, Hu Qianqian will get her comeuppance.

Ye Guyue isn’t a good man, is he?

She had heard that Hu Qianqian wasn’t a good person either, apparently currying favor with the student council president before, who had money. Whenever she wanted something, she would ask him, and the president, thinking they were friends, would give it to her.

It’s said that her family’s house and car were bought by selling the president’s belongings.

When the president found out, he ended his relationship with Hu Qianqian.

So, Hu Qianqian’s family isn’t as well-off as it seems.

Hmph, no one knows better than her what kind of man Ye Guyue is.

But such a pair is best left to each other, sparing others from their harm and causing each other trouble instead.
