Thanks to Xiaohua's iron-fisted approach, the school leaders punished the boys who spread the rumors.

When He Jie came over to beg Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua looked at him coldly.

“He Jie, you asked me to borrow 100,000 yuan because your father is seriously ill and needs 100,000 yuan for medical treatment. I hope you can tell the truth. If you don’t tell the truth, I will not plead with the school leaders, and I will have my lawyer continue to sue you for defamation. At that time, you will most likely have to be expelled.”

Looking at Xiao Hua's cold and indifferent eyes, He Jie felt a little scared. He never expected that a girl could act so decisively and quickly, and without any mercy.

How could he not be afraid!

He Jie stammered and admitted, "I... my father is not sick. I was just making things up. I wanted to borrow 100,000 yuan from you because I also want to start my own business. I'm envious of your success."

"Ye Xiaohua, I'm sorry. It wasn't easy for me to get into university from a rural area. You also have a rural household registration, so you should understand me. Could you please withdraw your complaint against me and plead with the school leaders for me? If you don't pursue the matter further, the school won't pursue it anymore."

Actually, Xiaohua was already being very polite to him because he came from a rural area.

Knowing that it was not easy for him to leave the countryside, he never actually sued him for defamation, nor did he explicitly ask the school to take action against him. He just wanted him to come and admit his mistake and apologize to him on his own initiative.

"The rumors you spread are not all rumors; some of them are true. For example, the funds for my business did come from that wealthy businessman who returned from overseas, and I do have a child who is already in kindergarten."

But that child wasn't my illegitimate daughter with that wealthy businessman who returned from overseas; she was my child with my ex-husband, and her identity wasn't something to be ashamed of.

"Ye Xiaohua, what do you want?"

At this moment, He Jie was filled with anxiety, not knowing how Ye Xiaohua would retaliate against him.

"You ask me what I want, but I want to ask you what you want: why do you have to spread dirty rumors about every beautiful and capable young woman you meet?"

I felt that she must be up to no good. If you dare to spread rumors about me today, you'll dare to spread rumors about other girls tomorrow.

He Jie, I hope you can learn from this lesson. I will not sue you again, simply because you came from a remote rural area to Jiaotong University, and you carry the hopes of your whole family. If you are expelled from school, your parents will suffer the most.

"It's less about me being a classmate and more about me being kind to your parents, whom I've never met. But if it happens a second time, I won't let you off easily."

After Xiaohua finished speaking, she left, and the matter of the rumor came to an end.

"Sister Xiaohua, are you just going to let He Jie off the hook like this? He's the one who started this whole thing!"

The beauty was somewhat indignant.

"There's an old saying that you should be lenient with others when possible, although I don't particularly agree with it. But there's another saying that a cornered dog will jump over the wall, which I really agree with."

He's a poor kid from the countryside who got into university. If the school expels him, he's capable of anything if he goes crazy. If he decides to kill you or me, we won't be able to defend ourselves.

Moreover, this has taught him a lesson. He wasn't expelled; he preserved his degree, the hope of his family, and he will certainly learn from this experience and won't misbehave again.
