Chapter 182 Chen Ziyao Is in the Center of Criticisms Actually, in the beginning Qin Zheng thought that the news was true, but after Gu Ning's statement was released, he chose to believe Gu Ning. Gu Ning was indeed from a poor family, but it didn't mean that she couldn't have rich relatives or friends. Speaking of rich relatives, Gu Xiaoxiao's family was a great example, although they didn't get along. As for her rich friends, there were many of them, like Mu Ke, Hao Ran, An Yi, Qin Zixun and Chu Peihan. Gu Ning also maintained a good relationship with Qin Yifan as well as An Qian, who was the daughter of the director of the Central Hospital, too. Therefore, it was possible that Gu Ning had many other rich friends. Although Qin Zheng was curious about how she got to know these people, he understood that Gu Ning wasn't simple after the car accident. He was reluctant to miss the outstanding Gu Ning, but didn't dare to annoy her. "Do you have proof to prove that I did it? If you don't have proof, it's slander!" Chen Ziyao forced herself to be calm, but her voice was a little weak. She was merely an 18-year-old girl, who couldn't hide her real feelings. "Slander? Gee! I didn't expect that you even knew this word." Gu Ning laughed, as if it was a joke to hear the word come out of Chen Ziyao's mouth. Chen Ziyao didn't have solid proof, but she had still spread the fake news about Gu Ning. Now she wanted Gu Ning to provide proof, which was ridiculous. Gu Ning added, "Since you agree that it would be slander if you don't have proof, why did you do the same thing? Do you have proof? You only took a meaningless photo. Isn't it ridiculous that you posted the fake news about me?" At that time, Hao Ran supported Gu Ning. "Exactly! Why do you claim Gu Ning has a sugar daddy just because she got out of a luxury car? You don't have solid proof at all. Since you don't have proof it's slander. You even posted it on the forum. We can sue you, and you're at the age where you would have to take legal responsibility!" Hearing that, Chen Ziyao's face turned pale. The last thing she wanted to do in this world was to have to take legal responsibility. "Chen Ziyao, I thought that you would be quiet after what happened to Gu Xiaoxiao. If so, I would have forgiven you for what you did to me, but to my surprise, you went the opposite way. I wouldn't come to you unless I had solid proof. We're not as dumb as you are!" Saying that, Gu Ning took out her phone clicking the video, playing it for Chen Ziyao. "Chen Ziyao, did you know that there is a thing called a driving recorder? Besides, there are surveillance cameras at the door of our school. It was very easy to find out who took the photo." Chen Ziyao was stunned, and could barely stand. She hadn't known that there was a driving recorder on the car. What was worse, she had shown herself right in front of the recorder. "Now, what else do you want to say?" Chu Peihan sneered. Chen Ziyao wasn't able to deny it anymore, but she didn't want to give up. Even though she was scared of facing Gu Ning and others. "So what? I only took a photo, but it's enough to prove that you have a sugar daddy!" Chen Ziyao argued. "You don't have solid proof! From the law's perspective, it's slander! I can sue you for that!" Gu Ning said seriously, which shut Chen Ziyao's mouth. The rest in the classroom started to support Gu Ning. "Exactly, she doesn't have solid proof anyway. It could damage Gu Ning's reputation. She's such a horrible person!" "She should be expelled like Gu Xiaoxiao." "I agree. I don't want to study in the same school as her!" "I think Gu Ning should call the police." "I think she should sue her, and throw her into the jail!" ... "Shut up! Shut your mouth!" Chen Ziyao yelled. She hated the thought of being expelled, or arrested by the police, let alone being put in jail. "Chen Ziyao, I gave you a chance, but you refused to take it. Now, it's time for you to bear the result," Gu Ning said in a low voice. Chen Ziyao stepped backwards unconsciously in fear. She thought that Gu Ning was going to beat her. "What-what do you want to do?" If Gu Ning was really going to punch her, she couldn't fight back at all, so she was terrified. "Well, I'm going to make you pay for what you've done to me," Gu Ning said. "Delete the post and apologize to me. Also, you have to go to the broadcast room to apologize to me in front of all the students and teachers in our school!" "No!" Chen Ziyao refused. It was too embarrassing and shameful. "No? It's not up to you now. If you refuse to do so, you'll be punished more severely," Gu Ning sneered. "You..." Chen Ziyao was mad, but didn't know how to retort. She wasn't willing to apologize, it was so shameful! "If I don't hear your apologies before the afternoon classes are over, you need to be careful about what's going to happen next," Gu Ning warned her, then she walked away with her friends. Someone already took a video of what had happened in the classroom. He uploaded it to the school forum the second that Gu Ning left. It soon became popular. Some people still doubted Gu Ning's behavior, because she didn't show solid proof that she didn't have a sugar daddy, but more chose to criticize and swear at Chen Ziyao. In that case, those negative comments didn't gain much attention. It was ridiculous to jump to the conclusion that Gu Ning had a sugar daddy just because she got out of a luxury car, so most of the people stayed calm and reasonable. In addition, Gu Ning had left a good impression on many students after she had won the competition with Hao Ran and his close friends. Many still admired Gu Ning. Meanwhile, Gu Ning and her friends ignored the mess on the forum, because they were enjoying their meal. Before long, Jiang Yuan heard the news from Zhu Jian. He was astonished that Chen Ziyao was behind this, because Chen Ziyao performed so well in his class. Unfortunately, appearances lied. Jiang Yuan immediately asked Chen Ziyao to do what Gu Ning demanded, because it was Zhu Jian's order too. However, what Chen Ziyao had done wasn't as serious as Gu Xiaoxiao, so she wasn't expelled.
