Shen Linyue's cold gaze swept over them. "Oh, so those insulting things you said are correct?"

"Did your parents send you here just to learn to swear? I'm really curious how your parents usually educate you to raise you to have such ugly faces."

"You..." The elegant girl was annoyed, but before she could finish speaking, Shen Linyue continued, "What do you mean, 'you'? Do you believe I can bankrupt your family tomorrow?"

The two girls were now completely speechless with anger. They were filled with doubt and shock at Shen Linyue's identity. How could she have the power to bankrupt their family?!

Who is she?!

The thought that they were already marginal figures in the family made him uneasy, and he worried that he might offend them.

The other person next to the elegant girl couldn't sit still any longer and suddenly knelt down to apologize to Su Xiao: "I'm sorry, Su Xiao, I shouldn't have said that to you, I was wrong."

The refined girl gritted her teeth and persevered, feeling anxious and annoyed at her companion's spineless attitude, but she was helpless when she met Shen Linyue's gaze.

I felt she was lying, but I didn't have time to verify it. But I would never make her kneel down!

"I'm sorry, Su Xiao. I shouldn't have slandered you or made snide remarks about you. I'm sorry!" The last sentence was clearly addressed to Shen Linyue.

Just as Shen Linyue was about to speak, Su Xiao suddenly tugged at her sleeve and shook her head slightly. Shen Linyue stopped her persistent questioning and reluctantly nodded.

"Remember to kowtow, it has to be fair."

girl:……

Before leaving, Shen Linyue glanced down at the elegant girl and smiled as she reminded her, "You know, everyone who can attend Beishi High School is either rich or powerful. Be careful what you say when you go out in the future, so as not to offend someone you shouldn't have like today. By the way, from now on, Su Xiao will be under my protection. If I find out about something like today again, I won't let you off easily."

Her voice was soft, like a feather brushing against their hearts, yet it startled them both, making them suddenly remember the instructions their families had given them when they were sent here to study.

Indeed, those who can enter Taipei City are all either rich or powerful, and they also have some status in the circle.

The purpose of sending them here was naturally for the benefit of their families, to make friends with people who would be beneficial to their future.

“…I understand.” The sophisticated girl dared not say another word.

Seeing her like this, Shen Linyue knew she had taken it to heart, so she nodded slightly and left the dormitory with Su Xiao.

After walking a long way, Su Xiao, who had been holding back all the way, finally couldn't help but ask her.

"Yueyue, I didn't know you were so amazing!" Her tone was full of admiration, thinking that after being bullied for so long, Lin Yue was the first to stand up and protect her.

I initially became friends with her out of curiosity, but now I've elevated her to a god-like status.

From then on, she followed Yueyue's lead without question!

Thinking of this, Su Xiao's eyes began to redden again. This was the first time in so long that she had felt warmth.

Shen Linyue took in Su Xiao's emotions and rubbed her head: "Of course it's fake. I call that psychological warfare. I gradually dismantle their hearts and then break their will one by one. See, aren't they on the verge of collapse?"

Although she felt emboldened by He Liyu's support, she couldn't possibly let He Liyu bankrupt his company; that would be too unethical.

Moreover, bankrupting a company is not an easy thing to do.

After hearing her say that, Su Xiao's eyes burned even brighter: "Yueyue, you are truly the most special girl I've ever met. I like you so much. Is it too late for me to fall for someone else?"

Shen Linyue: ...

She had only watched a few short dramas about domineering CEOs falling in love with me, and learned some tricks from them. She used them to fool those people today. Normally, she would have called for backup.

After all, she was too weak to even kill a chicken, so how could she possibly deal with two girls who looked perfectly healthy?

"Sweetie, you should continue to like He Xiao. I'm not worth it." According to the normal timeline, she's old enough to be Su Xiao's mother now.

Su Xiao sighed, but the burning passion in her eyes didn't subside in the slightest.

"Can I treat you to a meal to thank you for your help today?"

Shen Linyue thought of what the two girls had said earlier; Xiaoxiao's family seemed to be very poor.

She thought for a moment and then said, "Sure, how about you treat me to a meal at the cafeteria? I can eat anything there."

Su Xiao paused for a moment, then laughed: "Actually, I'm not that poor, really."

Shen Linyue nodded, seemingly unwilling to discuss the matter further: "Sure, you can keep it for yourself."

Seeing her persistent look, Su Xiao couldn't help but laugh and cry: "I'm not lying to you. Although my family situation is a bit complicated, they give me a lot of pocket money, and I save it all."

Perhaps it could be said that I've never used it.

After returning to the Su family for a while and being treated in various ways, she now only wants to finish her studies quietly and then leave the Su family again.

Shen Linyue's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she pondered and nodded, "Okay, let's go out for dinner on Sunday then."

Seeing that she agreed, Su Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, her smile still lingering.

An untimely voice suddenly broke in.

"Lin Yue, are you having a lot of fun?" It was He Xiao.

The two looked over at the same time, and there stood He Xiao at the top of the stairs, watching them leisurely.

His gaze swept lightly over Su Xiao, finally landing on Shen Linyue with a hint of mockery.

Shen Linyue: ...

"Did you come to see me?" She immediately greeted him with enthusiasm and a lovely smile.

He Xiao looked at her calmly: "No, I'm here to find my dog."

Shen Linyue frowned: "You're the dog. Where did this dog come from at school? You're just being stubborn."

He Xiao curled his lips, turned around and went upstairs. Shen Linyue naturally wouldn't delay him and called Su Xiao to come along.

Su Xiao ran to her side, pressed close to her, and frowned with concern, asking, "He was so fierce! Are you really okay?"

Shen Linyue blinked, completely unexpected to hear these words coming from the mouth of the little girl who had blushed at He Xiao at noon.

"Do you think he's fierce?" Shen Linyue asked.

Su Xiao nodded: "Isn't it fierce?"

Shen Linyue remained silent. Just what kind of charm had she displayed in the dormitory that made the young girl fall so deeply in love with her?

Sigh, being too charming can also be a burden.

He Xiao still can't learn his mother's skills. Hehe.

Su Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Yue's hesitation. She glanced at He Xiao, who was walking ahead, and whispered, "Yueyue, I want to change my name. Can you give me some suggestions?"

Shen Linyue snapped out of her daze and asked in surprise, "Change your name? You think 'Xiaoxiao' doesn't sound good?"

Su Xiao nodded and then shook her head, her expression conflicted: "No, I just think this name sounds like a joke."

Shen Linyue: ...

I still don't understand this little girl's thought process. What does "like a joke" mean?

Before she could ask, Su Xiao spoke up: "What do you think of Su Xiangxin?"

“Oh, Su Xiangxin? Yearning for a new life…” Shen Linyue said casually, then suddenly stopped, her pupils dilating in shock: “What did you say your name was?!”

“Su Xiangxin.” Su Xiao repeated, “But Xin is the Xin of joy.”

Shen Linyue: ...
