Chapter 8 Shocked, the Female Lead Turns Out to Be the Male Lead's Stepmother

The classroom, with more than two hundred people, couldn't muster the sound of even half a person, but their inner emotions were incredibly rich at this moment.

It's clear that after today, the school's forum will have another post about Ji Qiuge.

Fu Yunjing's face darkened with disgust, "Idiot, get out!"

Ji Qiuge had completed her task and received the character change card. She immediately seized the opportunity to leave, grabbing her bag and heading out.

Fu Yunjing's anger intensified.

That fool from the Ji family!

If it weren't for the recent cooperation with the Ji family, he would have considered throwing Ji Qiuge off the building to her death.

Ji Qiuge was in a great mood.

After all, the task went smoothly, and she even figured out a little trick for completing tasks.

"System, do these tasks get issued one by one? Can you give me more at once?"

Completing one task only grants one character change card. How long would it take to make significant progress?

Not every moment has a storyline, so she could use the times when she can control herself to complete tasks and gain leverage for the main plot.

[Yes, I can issue ten tasks at once. Each time you complete half, I will automatically issue more. However, you must complete at least five within three days.]

The system didn't have any objections.

"...Okay!"

Social embarrassment five times is still social embarrassment. In just 24 hours, she had already experienced it twice. What's there to be afraid of?

A panel with ten tasks immediately popped up in front of her. After quickly browsing through them, Ji Qiuge twitched her mouth and closed the panel.

"Let me see the upcoming storyline first."

Tasks weren't urgent at the moment.

[Class ends, and Fu Yunjing leaves the classroom in a bad mood.

Su Xiaoxiao hesitates for a moment, then stands up to follow him while the class discusses Ji Qiuge's earlier outburst.

She calls out to Fu Yunjing.

"Professor, please wait!"

Fu Yunjing, surprised, turns to look at the girl who followed him. No one had ever dared to call him back in all these years.]

Ji Qiuge: "..."

Really? I don't believe it.

["What is it?" Fu Yunjing asks coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao feels a bit scared looking at the man before her. She doesn't know who he is, but she can tell he's very powerful. The classmates are all afraid of him.

She decides to take a chance.

If she could get this person's guidance, perhaps those people would stop looking down on her!

So, she takes a deep breath and says, "If I have questions, may I come to you for help? Professor, you should know about my situation!"

Her eyes redden, trembling in fear but still looking straight at Fu Yunjing.

"I want to study hard, become strong, and not be looked down upon!"

The girl speaks resolutely, her words firm, her hair fluttering in the wind revealing her smooth forehead.

Fu Yunjing suddenly recalls the eyes he saw that night, overlapping with the ones behind the black-rimmed glasses now.

He gives a faint smile, "Alright."]

Ji Qiuge pondered for a moment and used the character change card.

[Are you sure you want to change this character?] The system hesitated, feeling it was too...

Ji Qiuge "Yes" without hesitation and made the change.

"Trust me, just wait and see!"

[...]

Then, she heard the bell.

Ji Qiuge's eyes darted around, looking for a place to hide.

When the female lead came out to talk to the male lead, she quickly messaged the Huan Dan sisters.

"Su Xiaoxiao is talking to Fu Yunjing."

With just one message, the Huan Dan sisters exclaimed in surprise.

"What? Su Xiaoxiao is talking to Fu Yunjing?"

The classmates, who were discussing Ji Qiuge's earlier actions, paused, then all turned to the door.

Chen Yunmei, eager, got up and went out first. The others looked at each other and followed.

Even though Fu Yunjing was terrifying, the desire to know the gossip was overwhelming.

Ji Qiuge was one thing, but what gave the new Su Xiaoxiao the guts to talk to Fu Yunjing?

A group of people pretended to walk out casually in groups of threes and fives.

As soon as they stepped out of the classroom, they saw Fu Yunjing and Su Xiaoxiao standing in the corridor.

Everyone immediately fell silent, not daring to speak, but they quietly approached and listened intently.

Su Xiaoxiao had just finished her lines, standing in the sunlight with the wind blowing her hair.

So, it was no surprise that the onlookers saw Fu Yunjing smile faintly.

While they were astonished that Fu Yunjing actually smiled, they heard him speak slowly.

"Mom."

A low, slightly hoarse "Mom" came from his lips.

After saying it, he froze.

Su Xiaoxiao froze.

The onlookers froze.

Only Ji Qiuge, hiding in the restroom, laughed uncontrollably.

"Hahaha! Too bad, I don't have the guts to go out and record this!"

Ji Qiuge was delighted just reading the description, holding back her laughter to keep watching.

[After Fu Yunjing called her mom, everyone was stunned.

Fu Yunjing quickly realized his mistake, his expression twisting momentarily, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

Su Xiaoxiao was at a loss, staring blankly at Fu Yunjing.

Fu Yunjing struggled to say, "I meant alright."

After another moment of suffocating silence, Fu Yunjing's sharp gaze swept over the distant students.

Everyone felt a rush of killing intent and instinctively bowed their heads and backed away.

Fu Yunjing suppressed his anger, turned, and left. All because of that idiot Ji Qiuge! He needed to find a way to teach the Ji family a lesson!]

Ji Qiuge: "..."

Smile vanishing.

Damn, no wonder he's the male lead. He managed to pin this on her, though it was indeed her doing.

Just wait!

Ji Qiuge quickly opened the task panel.

[Please, in an outdoor setting with at least 500 people and with the wind blowing, say the following line with conviction: The wind is very noisy today! Task completion rewards a word change card!]

Ji Qiuge decided to tackle this task first. It seemed the easiest.

One task was particularly tough, even though she had already faced social death twice.

The task was as follows:

[Please, in front of at least 500 people, perform as shown in the video and say the following line with conviction: I, Yu Jin, pledge to fight for the Cao family forever!]

Ji Qiuge felt her scalp tingle just reading it.

Of course, the reward for this task was substantial, allowing her to change a sentence.

But this was even more terrifying than becoming Duomi Tian Nu in public!!!

She needed to take it slow, very slow.
