Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 483 - 40: The Cannon Fodder Stepsister Doesn’t Want to Die

Chapter 483: Chapter 40: The Cannon Fodder Stepsister Doesn’t Want to Die

For this school entrance examination, unsurprisingly, Jiang Lai took the top spot in the class, followed closely by Jiang Ci.

Their scores were extremely close, almost tied for first and second, and nearly ten points ahead of third-placed Fu Ming.

As for Qiao Chuweng, she came in fourth.

When the ranking was posted, the top three names felt like a branding iron pressed sharply onto her heart, making it hard for her to even breathe steadily.

Previously, she had always thought that her greatest gain after her rebirth was her mental growth, becoming calm and unflappable, able to handle everything without emotional fluctuations.

After all, what could be more challenging than losing everything and going bankrupt in her past life?

But now she realized she was wrong. Jiang Lai’s appearance disrupted her progress.

Why?

It was like Jiang Lai was sent by fate just to oppose her, gradually stealing the glow that should have belonged to her.

Jiang Ci, Fu Ming, her two most proud friends, were now both trampled under Jiang Lai’s feet.

Especially Jiang Ci; she had initially been the one who wanted to pull him out of the abyss. Yet, the culprit responsible for his downfall could so easily receive his forgiveness and attention.

Qiao Chuweng stood in front of the score sheet for a long time.

At that moment, a familiar figure appeared outside the window.

Turning her head, it was Shen Weizhou.

This person who was supposed to aid in her growth was now also standing by Jiang Lai’s side.

A blind fool.

"Shen Weizhou, we need to talk."

He frowned, looking unwilling.

He was used to being above others, never having to feign kindness, so Qiao Chuweng could clearly see his preferences on his face.

"What do you want with me?"

Shen Weizhou was very impatient. Jiang Lai had rarely sought him out, and now Qiao Chuweng was blocking the way.

"You better listen carefully to what I’m about to say, otherwise, how Jiang Lai will end up..."

Upon hearing Jiang Lai’s name, Shen Weizhou was willing to listen a bit longer.

"What about Jiang Lai?"

"On the night of New Year’s Eve, don’t you know what happened on the mountain? Didn’t the police come to you to understand the situation?"

Shen Weizhou’s expression changed slightly.

"What? What does this have to do with Jiang Lai?"

"Nothing to do with her? Ha..."

Qiao Chuweng sneered as she leaned closer to Shen Weizhou, whispering in his ear.

"I saw everything."

"Everything Jiang Lai did, I saw it clearly."

Shen Weizhou’s face remained expressionless.

"I don’t understand what you’re saying, what did Jiang Lai do?"

"Hahaha, Shen Weizhou, how come I didn’t realize you were such a good actor before? What did Jiang Lai do? Aren’t you the most aware? Otherwise, how could she still be sitting here attending classes? She should go to prison!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Weizhou suddenly slammed his fist against the wall behind Qiao Chuweng, lowering his voice, his face cold and fierce. That always gentle and affectionate gaze now filled only with icy frost.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart!"

Qiao Chuweng’s face was hard to look at.

Shen Weizhou really gave her no face at all, while he was so gentle to Jiang Lai, following her like a dog, how could he tear off his mask in front of her?

What’s good about someone like Jiang Lai!

Qiao Chuweng felt more anger and hatred in her heart, wishing she could send Jiang Lai to prison right now.

"I’m telling you, I saw it all. She hit someone and ran away! You know very well what you did, with so many traces, how could the police not find out? It was you, you who covered for Jiang Lai! Jiang Lai is a murderer, and you know it better than anyone!"

Qiao Chuweng saw the light in Shen Weizhou’s eyes as if he wanted to kill her.

She burst out laughing.

There you go, that means Shen Weizhou really erased all evidence, because he truly believed Jiang Lai did everything, so before the police arrived, he removed everything, helping her, Qiao Chuweng...

Hahahahaha.

That’s enough.

If Jiang Lai didn’t die, then she could rest easy.

Besides, she had another leverage over Shen Weizhou.

He harbored a criminal, making him tied to her, inseparable and closer than anyone else in this world.

Grades mean nothing, Qiao Chuweng was more aware than anyone else, even if Shen Weizhou was a useless scumbag, consistently at the bottom of exams, even if people like Jiang Lai could repeatedly earn the highest honors in school, once in society, from her first step out of school, she became a cheap commodity on the shelf.

And who was the chooser?

It was Shen Weizhou.

People like him were always at the top of society, gaining everything without any effort.

And right now, she had leverage on such a person.

Was there anything more wonderful in this world?

"I’ve seen it all."

"You’re lying, there are no cameras on that road, how can you prove it with just your words?"

Qiao Chuweng sneered.

"Because that day, I also went on the path, following right behind Jiang Lai."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Chuweng felt unprecedented satisfaction in her heart.

But at that moment, she saw additional amusement in Shen Weizhou’s eyes.

That smile, as if something had just gone his way.

"Oh, so it was you on that path."

After speaking, Shen Weizhou suddenly raised his hand, gesturing to someone.

Qiao Chuweng was taken aback, turning to look, seeing Jiang Lai waving her phone also gesturing towards Shen Weizhou.

Meanwhile, Shen Weizhou took a phone out from behind him, displaying a voice call.

Qiao Chuweng blinked, momentarily dazed.

What did this mean?

A sense of panic surged within her, quickly overwhelming her, causing her entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

Suddenly, she realized, instantly understanding everything.

She stared at Shen Weizhou and his phone, her eyes turning red.

"What are you doing?"

"Me? I’m chatting with a murderer, weren’t you the one who said I knew better than anyone else? That’s right, I know exactly who was on that path, but unfortunately, the evidence isn’t sufficient."

As he spoke, Shen Weizhou’s mouth curved into a smile.

"But now I have the evidence, thank you, Qiao Chuweng, allowing me to give Jiang Lai a big gift before Valentine’s Day."

"What...What kind of gift..."

"That’s to clear away all the obstructions before her."

Having said that, Shen Weizhou turned and walked away.

Leaving Qiao Chuweng to awkwardly turn, staring intently at Jiang Lai through the window.

Seeing the calm smile in Jiang Lai’s eyes, Qiao Chuweng finally collapsed, rushing into the classroom, grabbing Jiang Lai’s clothes, screaming without concern.

"What do you actually want?!! What will it take for you to let me go?!!"

This exclamation stupefied everyone around, once the most perfect goddess, always aloof and untouchable, now yelling like a madwoman, face streaked with tears, expression twisted.
