Now even Zhang Xiao dared not say a word.

Everyone knows Xie Weiwei's family background. Her family and the Qiao family are good friends.

By saying this, she clearly doesn't acknowledge Li Wanwan's identity.

Lin Rui asked Li Wanwan in a low voice, "Wanwan, what's going on?"

Without even blinking her eyes, Li Wanwan replied, "As you all know, my family background is not as good as the Qiao family, so my boyfriend and I... we have a secret relationship. Actually, our last fight was also because of this."

Zhang Xiao and Lin Rui exchanged a look of "We understand."

Sometimes, I really want to give Li Wanwan a thumbs up. No one dares to claim the title of the best liar after her.

I watched Qiao Ye giving a speech on stage with a distracted mind. When did my troublesome little brother become so capable? As his sister, I am very proud.

When he came down from the stage, I ran into Li Wanwan and the other two.

Zhang Xiao immediately started scolding me, "Jiang Huaichu, you're so disgusting!"

I never expected that my loving gaze towards Qiao Ye would be twisted in their eyes.

Lin Rui chimed in, "Yeah, Chuchu, you've gone too far this time!"

I chuckled in exasperation, "So, may I ask, what did I do wrong?"

"That's Wanwan's boyfriend. Do you have to flirt with your roommate's boyfriend?"

I was dumbfounded.

So they saw me as a home-wrecker!

"Since you say Li Wanwan is Qiao Ye's girlfriend, why doesn't he come and find her?"

"My boyfriend said he's busy and forgot to come find me."

"Oh, then I'll wait."

While Qiao Ye was taking a photo with a few girls, Li Wanwan pretended to be jealous under the pretense of Lin Rui and Zhang Xiao's act.

She touched up her lipstick and confidently walked up to Qiao Ye.

We were standing behind them and couldn't hear clearly, but we could see that Qiao Ye's expression gradually softened. I wondered what Li Wanwan said that made a smile appear on his face.

"Wow, so sweet!"

"I'm so jealous!"

Thanks, I feel like throwing up.

Li Wanwan came back triumphantly, wearing a satisfied expression directed at me.

From that day on, rumors about her and Qiao Ye spread like wildfire.

Everyone said she would soon become the young mistress of the Qiao family.

Our dormitory was constantly visited by people, and some even secretly sent gifts to Li Wanwan.

She enjoyed this attention, and even got her hands on the limited edition cosmetics from my family's subsidiary company.

I secretly messaged Qiao Ye.

[You said you don't know Li Wanwan, didn't you?]

[I really don't know her, why?]

[Then why are you so happy talking to her? Do you know what you've gotten yourself into?]

I sent him a picture of Li Wanwan.

After a while, Qiao Ye replied.

[Sis, so it was her you were talking about. Don't you remember? She is the daughter of the driver who used to work for us when we were kids.

[She came to see me because Uncle Li wanted to greet us.

[Wait, something's not right. Why do I remember her name as Li Tiantian?]

As Qiao Ye said that, I remembered.

Indeed, when I was a child, we did have a driver surnamed Li. He was a single father and would occasionally let his daughter stay with our nanny for a few days.

Little did I know that the girl had impure intentions and would sneak into my room to use my things, then show them off at kindergarten.

After this happened multiple times, my dad fired the driver.

I never imagined that Li Wanwan and I had this connection. It seems that bad people are bad from a young age!

However, she probably didn't recognize me since I changed my surname after she left.

Asthe story continues, I confronted Li Wanwan about her true identity and our shared past. She tried to deny it at first, but when I showed her old photos and reminded her of the incidents from our childhood, she couldn't deny it any longer.

"So, you thought you could get close to Qiao Ye and take advantage of his status?" I asked, feeling a mix of anger and disappointment.

Li Wanwan's face flushed with embarrassment. "I... I just wanted a better life for myself. I thought if I could become Qiao Ye's girlfriend, I would have everything I ever wanted."

Her words made me realize that beneath her cunning and manipulative exterior, Li Wanwan was just a girl who yearned for a better life. Perhaps she felt disadvantaged due to her family background and saw this as an opportunity to change her circumstances.

But that didn't excuse her deceitful actions. I couldn't let her continue to deceive Qiao Ye and use him for her own gain.

"Li Wanwan, you need to stop this charade right now. Qiao Ye deserves to know the truth," I said firmly.

Li Wanwan looked at me with pleading eyes. "Please, Jiang Huaichu, don't expose me. I'll do anything to make it up to you."

I considered her words for a moment. While I wanted to protect Qiao Ye from being manipulated, I also didn't want to ruin Li Wanwan's life. After all, we had known each other since childhood, and despite her flaws, she was still a person who deserved a chance to change.

"Fine," I said finally. "I won't expose you, but on one condition: you must end your fake relationship with Qiao Ye immediately and promise to never deceive him or anyone else again."

Li Wanwan nodded eagerly. "I promise, I'll end it right away. Thank you, Jiang Huaichu."

From that day forward, Li Wanwan distanced herself from Qiao Ye and stopped spreading rumors about their relationship. She seemed to genuinely regret her actions and focused on improving herself.

As for Qiao Ye, I decided to tell him the truth about Li Wanwan's intentions and our shared past. It was a difficult conversation, but he appreciated my honesty and was relieved to know the truth.

Months passed, and Li Wanwan gradually transformed. She became more sincere, humble, and focused on her studies. People started to see her in a new light, recognizing her efforts to change.

Although we couldn't become close friends again, I respected her for taking responsibility for her actions. We maintained a civil relationship, and I hoped that she would find her own path in life.

As for Qiao Ye, he became more cautious about trusting others and learned to see through people's facades. Our bond as siblings grew stronger as we navigated through the challenges and complexities of life together.

And as for me, I realized the importance of being vigilant and not easily swayed by appearances. It was a valuable lesson that would stay with me for the rest of my life.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, but we must stay true to ourselves and remain steadfast in our values.
