CHAPTER 185: 185: WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOUR THROAT?

Bei Jiafei’s emotions were more agitated, she was eager to prove her innocence.

These days, she had suffered humiliation and slander, no matter how she explained, no one believed her, and all cast scornful glances at her. She had been pushed to the edge by an invisible giant hand in the dark, making it hard for her to breathe.

It was the first time she realized how luxurious the word trust was.

"I believe."

Gu Tong didn’t know Bei Jiafei and had no reason to trust her, but she understood Qiu Xue better, knowing her treachery and deviousness. With Qiu Xue’s character, she could definitely do such a thing.

She slowly put down the cup and said in a calm voice, "What happened to your voice?"

Bei Jiafei’s voice was once so wonderful and melodious, but now it had become so dreadful. This obvious contrast made Gu Tong’s heart sink. The only thing Bei Jiafei could be used for was her heavenly voice. If her voice became hoarse, she would lose all her value.

Don’t say Gu Tong is too realistic; it’s just the truth. Using Bei Jiafei was merely to unveil the dark curtain, and also to give her a sense of vindication and fairness, wasn’t it?

"I don’t know either, I woke up like this... I’ve taken many lozenges, but it’s not completely healed. At least I can speak now, unlike the past two days when I couldn’t make a sound..."

Getting better is a good thing!

In her previous life, Bei Jiafei’s voice showed no improvement at all. Gu Tong remembered seeing an interview with Bei Jiafei on television, and her voice was much worse back then.

But it was precisely because of this that she admired Bei Jiafei’s perseverance immensely. Singing with such a voice required unimaginable effort.

"A voice is no small matter. I’ll take you to the hospital for a thorough check-up later. Remember, your voice is the only weapon against Qiu Xue, you must protect it well. If you lose this weapon, no matter how much I help you, you won’t be able to win."

Bei Jiafei’s eyes, filled with tears, met Gu Tong’s stern and cold pupils. Her body trembled, clearly frightened by such a gaze.

It was the first time she had seen Gu Tong so serious, having always seen her with an indifferent attitude before...

"I remember..." Subtly, Bei Jiafei developed a sense of awe and fear towards Gu Tong, a trembling and fear from within the soul.

Gu Tong’s lips curled up, and the coldness was replaced by a faint smile as she said, "Now, can you tell me how you made her suspicious?"

She urgently needed to know how obvious Bei Jiafei was and whether things had reached an irreparable stage.

According to her original plan, she still intended to save the nation by a roundabout strategy, letting Bei Jiafei emulate Gou Jian, enduring for the time being.

However, if Bei Jiafei was thoroughly exposed, the situation would be different. If Qiu Xue became suspicious, they would be forced to confront her.

"Actually, I didn’t do much, just said her teaching was wrong when she was guiding me in singing... and I somewhat distanced myself from her, not wanting to get involved with her in other matters..."

Every time she saw Qiu Xue smiling at her, she felt disgusted. That was a snake’s smile, obviously plotting against her to the core but pretending to be a lily-white girl.

After seeing Qiu Xue’s ugliness, Bei Jiafei couldn’t help it...

"You call that not doing anything?"

Gu Tong raised her hand to support her chin, her eyes filled with coldness, as piercing as winter’s snow, and said word by word, "You destroyed all the original interaction patterns! Anyone else would become suspicious, let alone Qiu Xue!"
