94.39% Rebirth:I'm A Favourite With Them / Chapter 219: Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Chapter 219

Zuri thought about Shen Menglai and the looks of anger on the faces of the girls she passed on her way. A shiver ran down her spine.

 

Once again, she felt the power of Owen's charm.

 

She had attended his concert before and knew he was popular, but now she realized she had underestimated just how famous he really was.

 

As Zuri walked along, she felt that anyone who looked at her had some hidden motive.

 

The morning classes ended without incident, which allowed Zuri to breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed no one recognized her as the person in the photo. As long as the situation calmed down, this whole matter would blow over.

 

Xu Zexi turned to look at Zuri and suddenly said, "Zuri, your eyes look a lot like Owen's rumored girlfriend's eyes."

 

His comment instantly drew attention from all around.

 

Every Owen fan in earshot fixed their eyes on Zuri's.

 

Zuri's heart skipped a beat. "Do they?"

 

Another male student added, "Now that you mention it, they really do look similar."

 

Zuri's lips twitched. "What a coincidence!"

 

Shen Menglai squinted her eyes, staring intently at Zuri. And indeed, they did look very much alike.

 

"They do look alike, but it can't be her," Shen Menglai said.

 

Zuri sighed with relief, but before she could fully relax, she heard Shen Menglai continue, "Zuri may be beautiful, but she's not the type my Jing-ge likes."

 

The girl next to her echoed the sentiment.

 

"Exactly. Zuri is pretty, but not pretty enough to win over my idol. Hmph, whoever that little vixen is, she'd better not let me find out who she is."

 

"If I find out, I'll scratch her face up so bad she'll never dare seduce my idol again."

 

Zuri's mouth twitched as she listened to their crazed words.

 

She resolved to avoid Owen in the future.

 

Meeting him was too dangerous; it could be life-threatening.

 

In the cafeteria, Azura and Zuri sat in a corner eating. Azura couldn't help but say, "It's a good thing that paparazzo didn't get a shot of your face, or you'd be done for."

 

Not just done for—she'd be skinned alive.

 

"What is your brother going to do about it? Issue a statement or just let it blow over?"

 

"Let it blow over."

 

Issuing a statement would likely just make things worse.

 

Azura thought about it and agreed. "Yeah, you're right. Once the hype dies down, it'll all be over."

 

After lunch, the two walked out of the cafeteria.

 

At the same time, An Ruoxi and her roommates were just leaving the cafeteria next door.

 

"Ruoxi, what did the fan club president say? Does Ge really have a girlfriend?" one of the roommates asked.

 

Ever since they saw the news that morning, none of them had been able to concentrate on their classes or enjoy their meals.

 

In their minds, Owen belonged to everyone, not just one person.

 

Whoever dared to take him away would not be forgiven.

 

To outsiders, this might seem insane, but among fans—especially those who considered themselves "girlfriend fans"—the sense of ownership was even stronger.

 

An Ruoxi was one of the most prominent of those "girlfriend fans."

 

"There's no news," An Ruoxi replied, her face dark and her spirits low.

 

A roommate couldn't help but speculate, "Could it be that they know something but just aren't telling us?"

 

"I doubt it."

 

"Why hasn't Ge issued a statement or posted on social media?"

 

"Why won't he just clarify things on social media? Could it be, like some are speculating, that he's tacitly admitting it?"

 

An Ruoxi immediately dismissed the idea. "Impossible! If Jing-ge really had a girlfriend, there's no way I wouldn't know."

 

The three roommates saw her expression darken and didn't dare say any more.

 

If they kept talking, An Ruoxi might explode.

 

They liked Owen a lot, but An Ruoxi's obsession with him bordered on madness.

 

"It could be photoshopped," one of the roommates suggested, trying to comfort her.

 

"Exactly. There are so many unscrupulous media outlets out there that will do anything for a headline. Who knows, we might see his studio issue a legal letter in a couple of days."

 

"Owen-ge is known for being clean-living. There's no way he'd be easily swayed by some little vixen."

 

With the roommates taking turns comforting her, An Ruoxi's expression improved slightly.

 

Suddenly, An Ruoxi caught sight of a figure that felt too familiar.

 

She took off in pursuit.

 

The three roommates were puzzled, but fearing for her safety, they followed.

 

Soon, the group rounded a volleyball court and spotted two women walking side by side up ahead. One of them was Zuri.

 

"Ruoxi, what's wrong?"

 

An Ruoxi narrowed her eyes at Zuri's back. "Who is she?"

 

"I know. She's the new campus beauty, Zuri."

 

"Is there something wrong with her?" someone asked.

 

Walking ahead, Zuri clearly felt the intense gaze from behind. She turned around and met An Ruoxi's eyes.

 

Azura noticed and suspiciously turned around as well.

 

The look in An Ruoxi's eyes made her think of Owen's rumored girlfriend's eyes.

 

The resemblance was uncanny.

 

Coincidence?

 

When Azura turned around, An Ruoxi's pupils contracted as she recognized the distinct makeup on Azura's face. Her heart pounded furiously.

 

Those two...

 

An Ruoxi suddenly remembered the time she visited the set in Shanghai and waited outside with a group of fangirls. Back then, there was a girl who was escorted into the set by Owen's people.

 

Those two girls in front of her now—they were the same ones!

 

It's them. It's really them!

 

An Ruoxi finally realized why Zuri had seemed so familiar from the start. She had seen her before in Shanghai.

 

Shanghai, Owen...

 

Rumored girlfriend, identical eyes...

 

These words spun in her mind until a terrifying, unbearable truth surfaced.

 

Zuri was Owen's rumored girlfriend!

 

The roommates noticed An Ruoxi staring blankly at Zuri, her expression odd.

 

"Ruoxi, what's wrong?"

 

An Ruoxi snapped back to reality and marched directly toward Zuri.

 

Zuri saw the woman approaching and frowned slightly.

 

"Do you know her?" Azura asked curiously.

 

"No, but she seems to know me."

 

"Most people on campus know who you are," Azura said with a smile.

 

Zuri had a bad feeling about this.

 

"Let's go."

 

Her instincts told her to avoid any interaction with the woman coming toward her.

 

When An Ruoxi saw that Zuri was about to leave, she quickened her pace, jogging to catch up, and blocked their path.

 

Azura frowned at the stranger who had suddenly appeared in their way. "Is there something you need?"

 

An Ruoxi shot Azura a glance but ignored her, staring straight at Zuri. "You're Zuri, right?"

From the look in the other woman's eyes, Zuri could sense hostility.

 

"What do you want?"

 

An Ruoxi's face was cold. "You're the one, aren't you?"

 

"How absurd," Zuri replied, her voice calm.

 

"Leave him, and I can pretend none of this ever happened. If not, don't expect peace while you're here. You should know the power he has behind him. You're not good enough for him," An Ruoxi threatened.

 

Azura, standing by, burst into laughter. "If Zuri isn't good enough, then who? You?"

 

An Ruoxi's friends stood nearby, utterly confused, having no idea what they were talking about.

 

Zuri, encountering such a fan for the first time, found it hard to comprehend. "Rest assured, there will never be anything between me and him."

 

"You're sure?" An Ruoxi narrowed her eyes, watching her suspiciously.

 

Azura rolled her eyes dramatically at An Ruoxi. "Every woman in the world could be a possibility, except her. Got it?"

 

An Ruoxi's sharp gaze shifted between the two, as though weighing the truth of their words.

 

"If you're so confident, then prove it. Delete his contact info right here, in front of me," An Ruoxi demanded.

 

Zuri chuckled, "And what gives you the right to make such demands? What authority do you have over me?"

 

An Ruoxi let out a cold laugh. "If you have nothing to hide, then why don't you delete his number?"

 

Zuri, exasperated by her twisted logic, was amused by how ridiculous the conversation had become. Continuing to engage with her felt like an insult to her own intelligence.

 

"Let's go," she said, deciding to walk away before she lost her temper.

 

Seeing Zuri try to leave, An Ruoxi became even more convinced of her guilt and blocked her path. "Aren't you afraid I'll expose you?"

 

Zuri's eyes turned cold as she stared her down, her voice calm yet menacing. "If you dare, I'll make sure you regret it."

 

The power dynamic flipped instantly—An Ruoxi, who had been so dominant, now found herself the one being threatened.

 

"You're threatening me?"

 

Zuri walked past her, ignoring her anger and frustration.

 

Azura took a few steps, then turned back to look at An Ruoxi. "Out of respect for our shared bond as women, here's some advice: if you want to live a long life, learn to keep your mouth shut. Think carefully before speaking, because every word has consequences."

 

As the two walked away, An Ruoxi's eyes narrowed dangerously.

 

"Ruoxi, what's going on between you and her?"

 

"Who is she involved with?"

 

One of An Ruoxi's sharper friends began to piece things together. "Could she be… Owen's rumored girlfriend?"

 

At this, the other two gasped, their eyes wide with disbelief.

 

"No way! That can't be true!"

 

One of the girls quickly pulled out her phone, comparing the photo of Owen's rumored girlfriend with a picture of Zuri. To her shock, the eyes were identical.

 

"Oh my god! Owen's rumored girlfriend is our school's new campus queen!"

 

A group of girls passing by overheard the conversation.

 

"What did you just say? Who's Owen's rumored girlfriend?"

 

"Who else? The new campus queen."

 

"You're kidding!"

 

"Check the photo for yourself."

 

Within moments, the group of girls had their phones out, and soon, the rumors were spreading like wildfire.

 

Neither Azura nor Zuri could have imagined how fast the news would spread. It was as if the whole school knew about it as soon as they had left.

 

The speed was astonishing.

 

At that moment, the two of them were still blissfully unaware of what was happening.

 

"Zuri, what if she really does go all out and expose your identity? What will we do then?" Azura asked, her face full of concern.

 

Zuri replied calmly, "Am I Owen's girlfriend?"

 

Azura shook her head.

 

"Then there's nothing to worry about. If I'm not his girlfriend, what is there to be afraid of?" Zuri answered with confidence.

 

Azura hesitated for a moment. "But… are you really aware of how attractive your third brother is?"

 

Zuri nodded decisively. "Of course, I know."

 

"Are you sure?" Azura eyed her doubtfully.

 

It wasn't that she underestimated Zuri, but given how little Zuri had known about the entertainment industry before meeting her, it was hard to be certain.

 

"Absolutely," Zuri said, sounding resolute.

 

Little did she know, those words would come back to bite her a few hours later.

 

Azura, convinced by Zuri's confidence, let go of her worry.

 

They continued walking towards the teaching building, but more and more people seemed to be staring at Zuri.

 

"Something feels off," Azura muttered.

 

"Yeah," Zuri agreed.

 

Azura pulled out her phone and logged onto the school's online forum, where a new post was already pinned to the top.

 

*#Shocking! Owen's rumored girlfriend is our school's new campus queen!*

 

The post had shot straight to the top of the page.

 

"Zuri, we've got a problem. That girl exposed you! Damn, how did she do it so fast? She's ruthless!" Azura fumed.

 

Zuri took the phone and skimmed through the post. It was mostly speculation, with comments split between disbelief and those who thought it was definitely her.

 

But, ultimately, most people weren't convinced.

 

"At least most of them don't believe it. As long as we deny it, there's nothing they can do," Azura said, smiling. "That girl thought she could threaten us? She's dreaming!"

 

Just then, Zuri's phone rang.

 

"Who is it?"

 

"It's me," An Ruoxi's voice came from the other end.

 

"Oh? After going through all that trouble to get my number, what do you want?"

 

"Just a little reminder. Did you see the post on the school's forum?"

 

Zuri stayed silent, waiting for her to continue.

 

"This is just the beginning. If you're scared, delete my brother's contact and promise never to talk to him again. I'll delete the post and clear your name," An Ruoxi said, her tone threatening yet tempting.

 

Zuri chuckled softly. "And if I don't?"

 

"If you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for what happens next. I know my brother is incredibly handsome, and it's normal for you to be infatuated with him."

 

"But the company won't let you ruin him, and neither will I. You're not going to destroy his career."

 

"This is my final warning. If you continue down this path, don't expect any mercy from me," An Ruoxi growled.

 

With a snap, the call ended.

 

An Ruoxi stared at her phone, her face twisted with anger.

 

Damn it! She's asking for it!

 

If that's how it's going to be, don't blame me for what comes next.
