Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Who Is It?

Qiao Yun’s brows furrowed slightly.

Even Li Miao, who was usually carefree, sensed something amiss, “Have you noticed that more people are looking at you today?”

Qiao Yun glanced over and calmly said, “Illusion.”

Circling her head, Li Miao suddenly realized, perhaps it was because Qiao Yun had ranked first in the exams, that’s why everyone was paying so much attention to her.

Qiao Yun and Li Miao parted ways at the entrance to the classroom, and just as Qiao Yun was about to enter, her phone rang.

It was from Pei Ya.

As soon as she answered, a voice full of complaints came through.

“Boss, did you actually live a normal life, or did you descend to experience tribulations?”

Qiao Yun stayed silent.

Pei Ya: “…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He cleared his throat and got straight to the point, “Let’s talk business. Yesterday, some bad news about you spread on the school network, but I’ve already deleted it.”

Qiao Yun was a protected species; any negative news related to her would be detected by their system.

It was too late yesterday, so Pei Ya didn’t notify Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun’s voice was still indifferent, “What news?”

“Well, it’s that thing where, um…”

Pei Ya found it difficult to say, mainly because the matter was too preposterous, but seeing that Qiao Yun didn’t respond, he steeled himself and blurted out, “Someone posted a video of you and Li Hanzhou at the amusement park on the forum, spreading rumors you were dating, and there’s more…”

Qiao Yun said impatiently, “Get to the point.”

Pei Ya’s spine chilled, he straightened his back, and blurted out, “They’re saying you’re two-timing, kept by me, used my connections to get the joint monthly exam papers, and knew the answers in advance, which is how you scored first.”

“…”

Qiao Yun paused, “Kept?”

Pei Ya hastily said, “I wouldn’t dare, it’s more likely you’re keeping me.”

Qiao Yun chided him, “Your thoughts are improper.”

“I was joking,” Pei Ya quickly changed the subject, annoyed, “You didn’t see the post, it sounded so real, it’s a pity you don’t write novels. If I weren’t the person involved, I would start doubting myself.”

“Let me see it.” Qiao Yun requested.

Without a second word, Pei Ya immediately sent her the original post to look at.

Qiao Yun skimmed through it.

The poster first threw out the video to prove she and Li Hanzhou were dating.

Then they claimed to have an encounter with her and Pei Ya together.

They also hinted to everyone that her first-place standing was no doubt credited to Pei Ya’s backdoor help.

The poster even analyzed several points.

Since she was very close to Li Miao, and Li Hanzhou had given her rides, getting close to Li Hanzhou was incredibly easy for her.

During Lu Ting’s coming-of-age ceremony, Pei Ya took special notice of her, probably starting their contact from that time.

There were rumors that the Lu Family hired a top tutor for her, which led to her sudden academic improvement.

The recent joint monthly exam paper was very difficult, yet she outscored the City No.1 Middle School’s top student by more than twenty points, an entirely impossible feat, so there must be something fishy.

The poster even feigned agreement that while her learning ability was strong, she definitely couldn’t compare with the prodigy of City No.1 Middle School.

Because of the first video, coupled with analyses that seemed convincing, some people believed it.

Although the post was deleted by the system’s automatic detection soon after it went live, many had already seen it.

It spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

That’s why today, everyone was giving Qiao Yun strange looks.

After reading it, Qiao Yun commented, “Not bad writing.”

Pei Ya: “…”

Professor Qiao’s line of thought really wasn’t the same as ordinary people’s.

He grew serious, “I’ll handle this. Whoever dares to spread rumors and slander you won’t get off so easily.”

No matter if Qiao Yun’s identity was special or not, arbitrarily spreading rumors about a fellow student was a violation of the school rules.

Qiao Yun inquired, “Have you found who posted it?”

Pei Ya was brimming with confidence, “That’s easy.”

“Who is it?”
