Chapter 19 - Sister Xi

Even though Qiao Qing had not confirmed that it was Mo Li who had run over Mo Zheng, the girl did nothing to clear up the rumors either. So everyone carried on with the belief that Mo Li was the culprit. Some even believed that the lack of news was because Mo Family had clamped down on all the mass media because they wanted to protect Mo Li.

A female student sidled up to Qiao Qing, she was Qiao Qing's good friend. She was the class representative for the English subject, but she scored well in all the other subjects too. She was not goddess-like beautiful but she was beautiful in a harmless way.

Her name was Gao Mei, she was Qiao Qing and Mo Li's classmate. She was also Mo Zheng's number one fan. It was the reason why she was such good friends with Qiao Qing. Gao Mei did try to approach Mo Zheng through Mo Li before, after all, if she became good friends with her idol's younger sister, she would have the chance of seeing her idol every day. However, not everyone was able to stand the original Mo Li's temperament.

Taking advantage of Mo Family's influence, the original Mo Li ruled the school with an iron fist. Someone like Gao Mei didn't enter her sight at all. In fact, Mo Li had told Gao Mei to stop dreaming and not to have any wishful thinking!

They were not going to be friends because their identity and status were too different. Gao Mei was so beneath her that Mo Li was never going to be seen hanging out with her.

When this tragedy befell Mo Li, Gao Mei was over the moon. She was laughing even in her sleep. Why would it be wishful thinking for her to want to get closer to her idol? What was wrong with that? Who was Mo Li to judge her? If not for Mo Zheng, Gao Mei wouldn't have given Mo Li the time of her day!

"Qing Qing, how is Brother Zheng?" Gao Mei asked Qiao Qing.

"Mei Mei, don't worry! Brother Zheng is recovering well. He might have to live with some side effects but he's doing well," Qiao Qing smiled generously.

Mo Li's rejection of Gao Mei's 'friendship' already made the latter extremely resentment of the former, the added insult and ridicule Mo Li directed at Gao Mei only made Gao Mei angrier.

After her failure to endear herself to Mo Li, Gao Mei turned her attention to Qiao Qing. Granted Qiao Qing was just the unofficial adopted daughter, she was also much easier to deal with than Gao Mei. Compared to Mo Li, Qiao Qing was like an angel reborn!

Gao Mei pulled Qiao Qing along like the 'best friends' that they were. Gao Mei asked animatedly, "Qing Qing, do you think it's possible for me to go visit Brother Zheng? I've prepared many things for him, they're all good for his recovery." Gao Mei pleaded with Qiao Qing. "Brother Zheng needs fans like us to be by his side especially at a time like this. We need to let him know that we will always support him!"

"Brother Zheng is residing in a private ward, no one, other than his family, is allowed visitation. It'll be a violation of hospital policy if I bring you there. But I will be sure to relay your presents and good intentions to him. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear from you. But for now, we should let him focus on his convalesce." Qiao Qing saw through Gao Mei's ploy easily. She would not disturb Mo Zheng just to satisfy a small fan of his. After all, for someone as popular as Mo Zheng, one less fan was really no big loss.

Besides, it was Gao Mei's fault for imagining many things in that mind of hers. Then again, Qiao Qing didn't waste any opportunity to feed that imagination either.

Qiao Qing was not going to ruin her relationship with Mo Zheng for such an insignificant character.

Gao Mei could not hide the disappointment on her face. "In that case, can you bring the clay figurine I made for Brother Zheng to him too? I won't go to disturb him rest."

Qiao Qing immediately saw the disappointment on Gao Mei's face and added, "Mei Mei, once Brother Zheng is much better and he's given the choice to go home to rest, I'll make sure you'll be the first to have the chance to visit him, and then we'll organize a group among our friends to go to the Mo Family home to visit him together!"

Qiao Qing's words almost brought tears to Gao Mei's eyes.

"Qing Qing, you're an angel. You're more than a hundred times better than Mo Li. No wonder everyone falls in love with you! You're perfect in both your personality and studies, you act more like the real daughter of the prestigious Mo Family than that bitch!"

"Mei Mei! Your mouth is still unforgiving as ever." Qiao Qing smiled. "But don't let her hear you or she'll come after you again."

Gao Mei rolled her eyes. "Hell, I wanted her to hear me. After all, the entire school now has known her true colors. No one will side with her anymore! We're too cultured to really do anything to the bitch..." Gao Mei would definitely not dare to speak in such a manner in the past. Even when she was mocking Mo Li behind her back, she was careful about who was around her. But now that everyone had turned on the prissy bitch, there was no reason for her to stand on tip toes anymore!

Furthermore, there wasn't really anything more Gao Mei could do other than to run her mouth about Mo Li as a revenge for her idol.

Gao Mei slunk close to Qiao Qing and then whispered, "...But that doesn't mean that other people wouldn't. Just you wait and see. The bitch will have her comeuppance now that she returns to school."

Qiao Qing's interest was piqued, "Really?"

"I've already heard the rumors. That girl from our school has sworn to take revenge for Mo Zheng, she would make the bitch pay." That girl was one of Mo Zheng's biggest fan and the president of his fan club. She was also the daughter of the school's director. She was the only person who could stand up to Mo Li's dominance at school before the power balance shifted and people shied away from Mo Li. Every student at school had to refer to this girl deferentially as, "Sister Xi."

As an honorary schoolmate, Mo Zheng had his own fan club in the school, and the President was Zhou Xi.

After hearing the news about Mo Zheng's injury and the fact that he might not be able to perform anymore, how could she not be mad?

In any case, Mo Li's first day back to school after the incident was going to be interesting to say the least.
