I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.

It’s better not to mention it, but once brought up, Lu Miao felt a tightness in her chest. That man actually used her uncle’s money to buy breakfast. If she threw it away, it would be wasting her uncle’s money.

“Shut your mouth. If you want it, I’ll give it to you.”

Wang Gege hadn’t eaten breakfast yet and took it gratefully. “Miao Miao, you’re always so generous to others.”

Lu Miao turned her face away. “I’m not generous to everyone.”

“Aww~ You’re still so warm-hearted~”

Just as the class bell rang, the counselor shouted from the doorway, “Lu Miao, come out here!”

The whole class looked over, and even the professor on stage glanced at the counselor with a hint of curiosity.

“Sorry, Professor Xue. One of the students broke the rules. I’m taking her to the office.”

The counselor nodded toward the professor, then turned back to see Lu Miao still sitting motionless. With a furious shout, “Did you hear me? Hurry up! Don’t disrupt the class!”

With a sharp scraping sound, Lu Miao grabbed her bag and, under the astonished gazes of everyone, walked straight out through the back door.

Standing by the front door, the counselor’s face darkened. “Stop right there, Lu Miao! Where do you think you’re going? Stop!”

Then she shouted as she chased after her.

As soon as the counselor left, the classroom erupted.

“What did Lu Miao do?”

“Who knows? She usually keeps to herself and isn’t sociable. No one really pays attention to her.”

“Hmph, just like a little delinquent, skipping class all the time. Once the school finds out, she’s definitely in trouble.” The class monitor adjusted her thick glasses disdainfully.

“I heard she often hangs out at bars. Maybe her private life is too messy and the counselor caught her…”

Suddenly, an egg smashed onto the back of that person’s head. “Are you all eating shit? Why are your mouths so foul?”

“Wang Gege, we’re talking about Lu Miao. What does it have to do with you?”

“Talking behind others’ backs but acting righteous? Want me to grab a megaphone and make you say it on stage?”

Everyone fell silent, ready for class.

…

In the office.

“Did you hit Wang Mingcheng’s head?”

Lu Miao denied decisively, “No.”

“You’re still lying here! The classmates who know say you drunkenly barged into the private room last night, grabbed Wang Mingcheng by the collar and went on a rampage.”

“I wasn’t rampaging drunk. I was sober…”

The counselor barked, “Don’t interrupt me!”

Lu Miao smirked; clearly, it was the counselor who needed to catch her breath.

“Everyone else left. It was just you and him in the private room. If it wasn’t you who hit him, then who?”

Lu Miao fell silent.

Seeing her selective silence, the counselor slammed the table in frustration. “I’m asking you again! Did you hit Wang Mingcheng or not?”

Lu Miao stood calmly before him, her face serene and puzzled. “If you’ve already convicted me, why ask?”

The counselor, nearly having a stroke from anger, switched tactics to pry her mouth open. “Why did you hit him?”

She watched the counselor interrogate her like a criminal and said frankly, “First, I have to declare again: I did not hit him.”

She had originally planned to, but that man beat her to it—though she wouldn’t admit that.

Lu Miao spoke seriously, “I went to the bar to find him yesterday because he confessed to me last week. I agreed to be with him, but then he turned around and mocked me in front of others, saying I’m easier to chase than a bus. Then, he cheated on me.”

She recalled, “That woman is uglier than me…”

“Bullshit!”

A sharp voice rang from the office door. “You think my son would go for trash like you?!”

Lu Miao looked up to see a noblewoman in a large fur coat entering.

Wang Mingcheng was still in the hospital. His mother, knowing her precious son had been beaten, felt like a part of her heart had been ripped out. How dare someone lay a hand on the Wang family’s treasure! She immediately contacted the counselor and stormed into the school to demand justice for her son.

“Our Mingcheng would only look for a well-matched noble lady. What kind of status do you have to deserve the Wang family?” Mrs. Wang looked down on Lu Miao, her eyes slanting as if she had some eye condition.

Lu Miao never cared about others’ opinions. She smiled lightly and glanced at her, “Are you sure it’s not because your son’s taste in picking clothes is as bad as yours?”

Mrs. Wang was already overweight, and wearing that fur coat only made her look more bloated.

“What did you say?! Say that again if you dare!” Mrs. Wang was so furious she was speechless, her face twisted with rage.

Lu Miao was unfazed and candid. “I’m not wrong. The woman Wang Mingcheng cheated with is over ten years older than me, a hostess. If she were any older, she could be your sister.”

Mrs. Wang’s face turned green with anger, desperate to slap her twice.

“I’m not wasting words with you. You injured my son and must apologize. Also, you’ve maliciously tarnished my son’s reputation. I want you to apologize to him publicly in front of the whole school. The medical expenses and compensation will be calculated separately!”

“Otherwise, I’ll sue you in court, and the school won’t tolerate a student with such bad behavior!”

She meant to have Lu Miao detained and forced to withdraw from school.

Lu Miao’s expression turned cold. “I said I didn’t hit your son. If you don’t believe me, check the surveillance.”

“The bar’s cameras have been wiped. That’s on you, isn’t it?” Mrs. Wang sneered.

Lu Miao bit her lip. That man had been thorough; she thought he was fearless.

Mrs. Wang snorted disdainfully. “Mingcheng told me everything. You’re the crazy woman who pestered him nonstop. He didn’t want to deal with you, but you lost your temper and hurt him!”

Wang Mingcheng dared say that?

Last night, he was terrified in the private room. After being sent to the hospital, he cried the moment he saw his mother, insisting that Lu Miao was the one who hit him and begging her not to let Lu Miao off.

“If not you, then who? Do you have accomplices?”

At this, Lu Miao remained silent.

Mrs. Wang jabbed her finger into Lu Miao’s shoulder. “Answer me! Who hit him?!”

“I did.”

Amid the clash of anger, a cold, deep voice suddenly sounded.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Everyone in the office turned to the door.

Lu Miao’s eyelid twitched. Why was he here?

The man entered, and the air grew tense.

He strode straight to Lu Miao, grabbed her arm, and pulled her behind him. His gaze swept over her quickly, checking if she had been bullied.

“Why did you hit my son… Oh—I see now.”

Mrs. Wang gave a strange laugh, mocking him. “What’s your relation to her? Her kept man on the side?”

Fu Shiyue raised his dark eyes and looked at her coldly. “Do you need me to teach you how to speak properly?”

Mrs. Wang was stunned by his intimidating gaze.

But as the lady of the Wang family, being cowed by a young man was unbearable. She refused to back down. “You’re so arrogant after hitting someone. Do you know who the Wang family is…”

“What’s the Wang family worth?” Fu Shiyue interrupted with disdain.
