THE FAKE HEIRESS AND HER FIVE VILLAINOUS BROTHERS

Chapter 78

Within the guest room of the Yuan residence, people were filled with terror and unease, as Yuan Yong could burst in at any moment, and they would all die here.

Everyone was frantically rummaging through the room, desperately searching for suitable objects to use as weapons.

Yuan Yong was a terrifying killing machine, unmatched by anyone, but they could not just sit and await their deaths. By resisting, there was a chance they might survive.

Two people simultaneously discovered clothing rods and began fighting over them, neither willing to let go, as in this room, a clothing rod was considered a decent weapon for self-defense.

Amidst the clamor and shouting, only Yuan Luoyi stood motionless, seeming deep in thought.

A young man glanced disapprovingly at Yuan Luoyi and muttered under his breath.

"So unsociable, just like her..."

"Shh! Don't say that, this young girl is our lifeline now. If you say too much, she might not cooperate with us!"

Suddenly, Yuan Luoyi felt an intense gaze upon her and turned to see a short-haired girl staring at her intently. The girl looked deeply saddened, her eyes red and watery, as if she was about to cry.

The short-haired girl approached Yuan Luoyi and stared intently at her face. "You two really do look alike, little one. How did you end up captured here?"

Yuan Luoyi did not respond.

The short-haired girl continued unprompted, "Never mind, I don't know how I got captured either. When I woke up, I was already here."

"As soon as I saw my high school classmates, I understood - it was retribution."

"They were all scions of prestigious families, while my parents were ordinary working-class people. I really shouldn't have provoked them, but they told me to bully Yuan Luoyi, and I did it."

"I hid her pens, spilled coffee on her assignments - just little things like that."

"But I never expected that after Yuan Luoyi dropped out, I would become the second person to be collectively isolated... Experiencing the same thing that happened to her made me realize how painful a continuous stream of small incidents can be..."

"Eventually, I dropped out too. My parents had such high hopes for me since I ranked in the top 100 in the province on the entrance exam. Now I can only drift from odd job to odd job to make a living... Truly a failed life."

The short-haired girl, Zhang Xunyin, took out a silver fork from her pocket and handed it to Yuan Luoyi. "Take this. It might help you defend yourself when the time comes."

Yuan Luoyi shook her head, refusing to take it.

She had seen fragments of memories from her high school days. Zhang Xunyin had made things difficult for her a few times, but Yuan Luoyi could also see that she had been forced to do those things.

"Just take it!" Zhang Xunyin insisted, grabbing Yuan Luoyi's hand and forcing the fork into it before turning and walking away.

She rejoined a small group of girls.

A rich girl berated her, "Why did you give it to her and not me?"

Zhang Xunyin replied, "You already have a broom. She has nothing and is too small to get any defensive weapons."

More girls were enraged and surrounded Zhang Xunyin, berating her.

"You're as stupid as you were in high school!"
