The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Is There Something Wrong?_1

Qiao Xiaren’s gaze fell on Ye Qing, her lips gently revealing a hint of a smile. The mockery in her eyes passed quickly. In her previous life in the entertainment industry, Ye Qing would often use sympathetic pleas to win the favor of others.

She remembered when Ye Qing made her debut, she latched onto a prestigious drama producer to gain her footing in the business. A myriad of rumors emerged afterward, and most of the roles she played were in low-budget web series.

However, when the right opportunity came along, Ye Qing gained significant fame for her role in a large-scale historical palace drama called “Weng Zifu,” where she played one of the concubines. As soon as she rose to fame, numerous scandals from her past were exposed. Her company worked hard to clear her name and, unexpectedly, Miss Ye was smart enough to play the victim, winning over a legion of fans and successfully whitewashing her reputation.

Looking back, those tears really did wonders. Black history could be whitewashed with tears, and even the truth could be turned into a lie with crying.

“Miss Ye, could you please tell me why Xiaoning and the others would openly call you ugly?” Qiao Xiaren spoke lightly, seemingly curious.

Why? Because she had badmouthed Qiao Xiaren! Ye Qing’s face darkened, but she couldn’t voice the truth.

The voice was calm, devoid of much emotion, yet the mention of the word “ugly” pierced straight to Ye Qing’s heart.

She bit her lip, her fingers slowly clenched into a fist, and she scoffed, “Miss Qiao, why are you pretending? Weren’t you the one who had them demean me? What does it matter that you are beautiful? I haven’t done anything to you. Do you find this kind of humiliation amusing?”

“Me?” Qiao Xiaren appeared quite surprised, a marvelous smile on her face, her gaze deep and profound. “Miss Ye, I don’t need to degrade you in such a childish way, being beautiful is already a fact for me. I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in using such a fact to humiliate you.”

The last sentence from Qiao Xiaren’s lips accompanied by a slight laugh made her crimson lips even more radiant, her skin was luminous, making everyone’s heart flutter.

Ye Qing, whose tears seemed like they were under control as if by a switch, couldn’t shed a tear. She was just stonily staring at the person in front of her.

Contempt? Despise?

Qiao Xiaren just stood there, without even bothering to raise her eyelids, her arrogant demeanor seemed to scorn everyone.

Amidst Ye Qing’s stupor, Qiao Xiaren casually shrugged, “Sorry, I’m going back to my seat.”

…

Watching Qiao Xiaren return to her seat and casually tidy up her desk as if nothing had happened, left everyone in a state of disbelief.

The powerful and domineering Queen Qiao has ended the drama just like that?

Everyone, as if in a dream, slowly returned to their seats, their minds churning with memories of Qiao Xiaren’s arrival until the teacher entered the classroom, bringing them back to reality.

Those sitting close to her stared at the elegance she exuded. Their hearts roared with jealousy. How could she be so cool and brazen? Even though she seemed arrogant, why was her appearance so destructively handsome?

At her desk, Qiao Xiaren was diligently doing her work. Ye Jianian watched her long eyelashes, calm yet beautiful. His heart clenched as he remembered her getting out of that car earlier.

“Teacher.”

Ye Jianian abruptly stood up, naturally attracting the attention of the teacher: “Class president, what’s the matter?”
