The next morning, when Jin Zhao got up to go to school, she found that the swelling on her hand had almost completely subsided.
Wei Ting, that heartless man, had let her sleep in her clothes all night and hadn’t even asked Zhang Sao to wake her up, change her clothes and sheets, and then let her sleep again.
She was quietly cursing him when the person she was cursing appeared before her, looking refreshed and energetic.
“Lift your hand, let me see.”
Wei Ting stood before her and said.
He had seen her muttering under her breath all the way from the room.
“Here.”
Jin Zhao raised her hand for him to examine. “What kind of medicine is this? It’s so effective. Can I use it if my wrist gets tired?”
Wei Ting was examining her face. Even after getting up early to shower, she still had time to put on makeup, and her complexion looked much better than yesterday.
Hearing her words, Wei Ting’s gaze fell on her wrist, and he frowned slightly.
“What kind of work makes your wrist tired? There are servants at Tanyuan.”
Jin Zhao quickly waved her hand, “It’s not that kind of tiredness. My major is fashion design, and I often draw, which can cause wrist pain. I was asking if it would be effective.”
“I’ll have someone send it to you later.”
After saying this, Wei Ting turned and went downstairs. Seeing that he was in a good mood, Jin Zhao immediately took advantage of it.
“Husband, you’re the best! My hand recovered so quickly thanks to you applying the ointment!”
Zhang Sao suddenly spoke from the side, “Miss, didn’t you say you draw…”
Pornographic images.
Jin Zhao explained unhappily, “Any kind of drawing can cause wrist pain. Zhang Sao, why do you have such biased views on different professions?”
Although pornographic images do have colors.

Because it was graduation season, Jingda University was bustling with activity. Many well-known companies in Jing City were gathered on campus, but only the top companies in each industry had the opportunity to give presentations.
“Jin Zhao, is your family’s company coming?”
The question came from Zhou Mo, a classmate in the same department. Her family also had a small company, but compared to the top companies in Jing City, it was insignificant.
Their acquaintance was entirely due to the advisor asking Zhou Mo to help Jin Zhao familiarize herself with the presentation process.
“I don’t know. I haven’t been in touch with my family for a long time,” Jin Zhao said listlessly, lying on the table. The original owner was almost completely estranged from her family; how could she possibly contact them?
She wondered what the atmosphere was like at the Jin family. It should be better without her, the vicious female supporting character.
“It’s okay. As long as you prepare your graduation project well, outstanding students can be directly hired by Wei Corporation’s design company,” Zhou Mo comforted her.
Yesterday, she discovered that this rumored vicious Miss Jin was just like ordinary students; she was also generous and interesting.
“I’m not going to Wei Corporation…” Jin Zhao complained. Wei Ting’s personality suggested that the company’s rules were very strict.
Wei Ting was cold-faced and impartial. He might be afraid of gossip and keep her as a junior design assistant for the rest of her life.
Just as they were speaking, the lecture hall suddenly fell silent as the presentation was about to begin.
“Gu Corporation is also good,” Zhou Mo pointed to the person on stage.
Jin Zhao wondered who Gu Corporation was; she’d never heard of it. She turned her head and met Gu Jue’s gaze.
She quickly shook her head, “No, the boss is an idiot.”
“But why would such a powerful company as Gu Corporation have the CEO come to Jingda University in person? Don’t they have anyone else?”
“It goes without saying; this CEO is unreliable and wants to come to the university to join the fun. A small boss who doesn’t like work.” Jin Zhao propped her chin in her hand, watching Gu Jue actively interact with the students.
Definitely an extrovert.
“Aesthetic sense is crucial for design. I’ll randomly select a student to comment on my outfit today.”
As soon as Gu Jue finished speaking, Jin Zhao had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, his hand landed on Jin Zhao’s shoulder. “Classmate, you look like you’re about to fall asleep. You’re up?”
Jin Zhao knew this guy was deliberately seeking revenge for the night banquet. She stared at Gu Jue with an innocent expression.
“Is that appropriate, teacher?”
“Like a flamboyant peacock.”
The rest of the people burst into laughter. Just as Jin Zhao was about to sit down, a thin female voice came from the side.
“Wow, Miss Jin, what happened to your hand?”
Jin Zhao followed the sound and saw Su Yi.
The swelling on her hand had almost completely subsided, only slightly bruised, not very noticeable.
Jingda University’s design department was the first choice for many wealthy children, so top companies usually chose this department or popular science departments.
Su Yi’s acting department, although with high admission scores, had only a few entertainment companies coming due to the specific nature of the profession.
Jin Zhao didn’t remember this plot from the original book, indicating that Su Yi wasn’t a completely scripted NPC and had started to take the initiative to provoke her.
“It seems like she was beaten. I heard she recently got married through an arranged marriage.”
“Who’s her spouse? I haven’t heard of him.”
“It’s a mystery. No one knows. Maybe he’s too embarrassed to announce it after marrying her.”
“It must be a middle-aged man who couldn’t marry a real heiress and settled for her instead.”
The crowd whispered among themselves. Su Yi looked sympathetic. “If you’re being abused, don’t be afraid. We’ll all help you.”
Jin Zhao naturally couldn’t reveal the truth to a group of strangers.
“So talkative, is your tongue idle?” Gu Jue’s gaze fell on Jin Zhao’s face. “I didn’t even notice from this close, but you saw it from so far away. Do you have a crush on her?”
Jin Zhao turned to Gu Jue. Don’t say such scary things.
A domineering couple falling for her at the same time? She’s leaving now.
Not using the stairs or the elevator.
Su Yi’s expression became ambiguous.
“Oh, Miss Su, didn’t you know?” Jin Zhao said, adopting an “I don’t care what I say” attitude.
“Your boyfriend said he liked my Rolls-Royce that day. I said it was my husband’s Valentine’s Day gift and couldn’t lend it to him, and he begged me.”
“I didn’t agree, and then your boyfriend tried to grab my keys,” Jin Zhao stared at her pitifully. “Your boyfriend seems to be very aggressive. Miss Su, tell me, and I can help you too.”
“So that’s what happened that day when Su Yi’s boyfriend and Jin Zhao confronted each other, and he stared at her car?”
“Her husband gave her such a luxurious car, how could he abuse her? Su Yi must be jealous and targeting Jin Zhao.”
Jin Zhao calmly sat down. Guiding public opinion seemed easy enough.
After the presentation, Gu Corporation was investing in an auction, and Gu Jue liked lively events, so he invited the students who attended the presentation to join him.
The design department was full of wealthy children; he would only profit from going to the auction.
Leaving the school was a spectacle of luxury cars, and Jin Zhao’s (Wei Ting’s) car was the most eye-catching. It wasn’t just limited edition; among a bunch of sports cars, there was suddenly such a business-like car.
“What she said just now was true…” someone said in disbelief.
Jin Zhao saw Gu Jue about to drive off and coolly parked her car in front of him.
“Get in, I’ll give you a ride.”
Gu Jue had coveted Wei Ting’s car for a long time, immediately opening the door and sitting down. “Sister, you’re my only sister. Can you ask Third Brother to give me one too?”
“If you want me to die, just say so.”
Under everyone’s gaze, Jin Zhao parked her car in front of Su Yi, who was walking, and rolled down the window.
“Give Miss Su a ride?”
Before Su Yi could speak, Jin Zhao said,
“I’m sorry, I forgot Miss Su hates my extravagant lifestyle. We’ll go first.”
Su Yi looked very unhappy. What was wrong with Lu Sichen? He said he would take her to the auction today to experience high society, but he still hadn’t arrived.
Jin Zhao saw Su Yi’s expression in the rearview mirror. Although she was following the plot the previous two times, the wine was spilled on Lu Sichen, and the suitcase wasn’t thrown.
She originally felt it was unfair to bully the innocent female lead, so why not directly target the aggressive male lead?
But now it seemed the innocent female lead wasn’t so simple, so she could retaliate.
“You really hate her?” Gu Jue spoke quietly from the side. “Is it because you still like Lu Sichen?”
