On the phone screen was a huge photo of a financial news headline.

The man in the photo is wearing a haute couture suit and speaking at a highly anticipated summit. He has a stern expression and an aura as powerful as a king.

It was the "baker" who just left!

Shocking title:

Shi Heng, the helmsman of Shi Group, attended the World Economic Forum and announced a 100 billion yuan new energy investment plan.

"Chen Ming? What's wrong with you?"

Lin Yan was startled by him.

Chen Ming picked up the phone with trembling fingers, and his voice changed.

"He...he doesn't run a bakery...he's...Shi Heng from the Shi Group!"

He pointed at the phone screen and spoke incoherently.

The entire box fell silent in an instant.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at the photos and news on Chen Ming's phone in disbelief.

The color on Lin Yan's face instantly faded, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a word.

Those who had just laughed with her now felt as if their necks were being strangled, their faces burning, and they wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Oh my God, Yunding Restaurant... seems to be Shi Heng's property." Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

"I just... I just laughed at him..." Another female classmate covered her face with her hands, her voice filled with tears.

Chen Ming reacted suddenly, grabbed the phone, and searched for the address book with trembling fingers.

He remembered that when he was organizing his address book a few years ago, Su Niannian had left a number!

He must contact Su Niannian!

Must apologize!

If I could connect with the Shi family...

He didn't dare to think further, his heart was beating wildly.

…

Meanwhile, on the way home.

Soothing music was playing in the car.

Su Niannian leaned back in her chair, looking at the neon lights flying by outside the window, and said softly, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

Shi Heng held the steering wheel with one hand and reached out with the other hand to hold hers tightly.

"Silly boy, those are the ones who should be saying sorry. I like the way you defend me."

After a pause, he said seriously, "Nian Nian, remember, no matter who I am, in front of you, I am just Shi Heng, the Shi Heng who wants to bake bread for you and your children for the rest of your life."

Su Niannian felt warm in her heart and held his warm hand back.

At this moment, the cell phone in the bag suddenly vibrated continuously.

She thought it was a message from her best friend Song Xia, so she clicked on the screen.

But I found several text messages from Chen Ming:

[Niannian! Old classmate! I'm Chen Ming! I really didn't recognize you tonight! Please give my deepest apologies to Mr. Shi! Please do me the honor of hosting you another day to make amends!]

[Niannian, please reply when you see this message! The squad leader will always have your back!]

[Niannian, tomorrow is the school anniversary. You and Mr. Shi must come! You are the pride of our class!]

Su Niannian stared at the screen of her mobile phone, and those flattering words pierced her eyes like needles.

She bit her lower lip subconsciously.

Could it be that Chen Ming knew that Shi Heng was the boss of "Xiangyue Tiancheng"?

But even so, this change in attitude is too exaggerated.

"What's wrong?" Shi Heng asked, tilting his head.

"It's a message from Chen Ming," Su Niannian handed over the phone, "He suddenly became... very abnormal."

Shi Heng took a quick glance and a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It seems that Chen Ming checked his background.

There was a moment of silence in the car.

Su Niannian looked out the window, but her thoughts drifted back to that humiliating high school era.

"Actually... I don't really want to go to the school anniversary."

"Why?"

During Shi Heng's previous investigation, he mainly focused on Su Niannian's situation in the past five years and did not know much about the earlier past.

Su Niannian took a deep breath, and those dusty memories came flooding back like a tide.

"In high school...I had a really bad time."

She remembered that rainy afternoon.

I was locked in the toilet cubicle, with ice-cold water pouring down my head, soaking my only school uniform.

The girls' sharp laughter came from outside the door: "Poor people should act like poor people!"

"They... always bully me because my family is poor."

Her voice trembled slightly. "My textbooks were often 'accidentally' splashed with ink, my shoes would mysteriously disappear after physical education class, and bugs would be put in my lunch box..."

The most painful thing was the day of the graduation dance. She mustered up the courage to wear the old dress that her mother had stayed up late to make, but was stopped by Lin Yan at the door of the auditorium.

"Su Niannian, is someone like you worthy enough to attend a dance?"

Lin Yan laughed in front of the whole class, "Sweeping the toilet would be more suitable for you, right?"

Shi Heng's hands suddenly tightened, and his knuckles turned white.

Only then did Su Niannian notice the change in his expression.

Those eyes that were always gentle were now as cold as ice, and the jawline was tense.

"Ah Heng?"

"How dare they..."

Shi Heng's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, but it contained a frightening anger.

Su Niannian suddenly realized that Shi Heng was angry about "that Su Niannian".

This realization made her heart feel like it was being gently grasped by a warm hand.

"It's all over."

She tried to smile, "Now I am no longer the girl who was bullied."

Shi Heng slowly parked the car by the roadside and turned to face her.

Su Niannian clearly saw the emotions surging in his eyes.

Angry and heartbroken.

And a certain steely determination.

"We're going to the school anniversary tomorrow." His tone left no room for doubt.

"but……"

"I want to see where you grew up."

Shi Heng gently stroked her cheek, "And..."
