Her tone was full of sarcasm when she spoke. Wen Lu hated being schemed against, but everyone around the original owner of this body was scheming against her. Even Xiao Ran's unexpected appearance turned out to be a conspiracy to use Wen Lu to bring down Xiao Ran. But she didn't expect that Xiao Ran's lover was not Wen Lu.

"What? Isn't this my online boyfriend? What are you doing at this school? Aren't you determined to get revenge on the Xiao family and Xiao Ran? You should be going to Berklee College of Music. You should know that's where Xiao Ran longs for the most. Why are you here in high school? This doesn't align with your aspirations."

At this point, Wen Lu looked at Xiao Qi with a cold smile, her eyes full of mockery.

"It's no use for you to get close to me now. You should already know that Xiao Ran doesn't like me, but Su Yu. If you go and get close to Su Yu now, maybe that will make Xiao Ran sad."

Wen Lu heard the news of Xiao Ran's engagement to Su Yu early this morning. She originally thought that after Xiao Ran learned about the leaked video, he would see Su Yu's true colors. However, she did not expect that Xiao Ran would still be so infatuated. It seems that Xiao Ran truly loves Su Yu.

Xiao Qi listened to Wen Lu's sarcastic words and looked at Wen Lu with a guilty expression. He had indeed approached Wen Lu with a purpose when he first did, but later, his feelings for Wen Lu changed. He had been attracted by that pure and kind girl.

However, when he realized his true feelings, the girl also discovered his intentions, and that's how the two lost contact.

"Wen Lu, I can explain what happened back then. I didn't know your identity when I met you. I genuinely wanted to be your friend, but later..."

Wen Lu listened to Xiao Qi's explanation and raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that there really was a misunderstanding between the original owner and Xiao Qi.

"Later, when you discovered my identity was related to Xiao Ran, you realized that I could actually become someone you could use..."

Wen Lu suddenly became curious about what was going on between them and unconsciously asked a question.

"That's not it! I... I never intended to hurt you. I admit, I did have those inappropriate thoughts, but... when I saw you, I put those thoughts away. Compared to revenge, I didn't want you to get hurt!"

Xiao Qi admitted that he did consider using Wen Lu to get revenge on Xiao Ran, but he found that Xiao Ran never had any feelings for Wen Lu. He did what he did in the end just to make Wen Lu realize the truth, but unexpectedly, Wen Lu misunderstood him and cut off all contact with him after that.

Listening to Xiao Qi's words of defense, Wen Lu just smiled faintly. It wasn't that she didn't believe him, but that she wasn't qualified to forgive him on behalf of the original owner.

However, after hearing Xiao Qi's candid explanation, Wen Lu suddenly felt that Xiao Qi was not a bad person, and in this complicated school life, having more friends was not a bad thing.

“I will not forgive you for what happened in the past, but we can get to know each other again. Hello, I am Wen Lu, it’s nice to meet you.”

Wen Lu extended her hand to Xiao Qi generously. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Perhaps one day she will be able to use him.

Xiao Qi didn't expect Wen Lu to change so quickly. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took Wen Lu's hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Xiao Qi."

Wen Lu smiled at Xiao Qi, glanced at the group of gossiping people around her, raised an eyebrow at Xiao Qi, and said casually, "You handle the rest of the trouble. I have other things to do, so I'll go back to class first."

Wen Lu wasn't trying to escape anything; he genuinely had things to do. Dong Zhimeng was probably still waiting for her to give him an explanation, and she also needed to see if Qian Lailai could adapt to life down the mountain.

She didn't know why Qian Lailai had suddenly come down the mountain, but she knew that the old men on the mountain were poor and stubborn, and that Qian Lailai might not have any money after coming down the mountain. She really wanted to know if Qian Lailai had any living expenses.

Thinking about this, Wen Lu felt so tired. Why did she feel like she was about to start a life of raising a child?

Back in the classroom, there were three people left.

Wen Lu stood at the back door and saw Qian Lailai sitting in her seat, eating a steamed bun. She frowned involuntarily, wondering how this girl would have survived if she hadn't met her.

Wen Lu strode towards Qian Lailai, but was blocked by Zhuge Peng halfway there.

"What do you want? If not, get out of my way!"

Wen Lu had a very bad attitude towards Zhuge Peng. In the original owner's memory, Zhuge Peng was Su Yu's sycophant. When Wen Lu was slandered and bullied, Zhuge Peng punched Wen Lu hard in the back without asking any questions.

That punch almost killed Wen Lu, and it was after that incident that Wen Lu lost the best opportunity to explain, allowing Su Yu to remain free for so long.

"Wen Lu, I was too rough with you back then, I'm sorry..."

For some reason, after meeting Wen Lu today, Zhuge Peng had been wanting to apologize to Wen Lu.

He had never thought this way before. He had always felt that he hadn't hit her hard enough, and that Wen Lu deserved what she got for bullying the kind-hearted Su Yu.

Wen Lu looked at Zhuge Peng and smiled coldly, "I'm lucky I didn't die from your punch, otherwise, what you said today might be on the judge's lips!"

"It can't be that bad, I only did it lightly..."

Before Zhuge Peng could finish speaking, Wen Lu raised her leg and kicked him hard in the chest with all her might. Zhuge Peng was sent flying and crashed into several tables behind him.

Zhuge Peng lay on the ground clutching his chest, staring at Wen Lu in disbelief. He sensed a murderous aura emanating from Wen Lu, who seemed intent on kicking him to death.

"Is it really that bad? How could it not be? You not only injured me! You also deprived me of my chance to explain myself, and you've also ruined Dong Zhimeng's life!"

“When Su Yu accused me of bullying her, I had a chance to explain, but a punch caused my heart to stop and I almost died. When I woke up, I had no chance to explain, and Dong Zhimeng, who testified for me, also became the target of your bullying.”

"You don't know, do you? Because of you, everyone says I faked fainting to avoid responsibility, and Dong Zhimeng is also considered my accomplice. Her originally happy family has been torn apart by the Su family."

"But even with the Dong family in this state, you still won't let her go. You used your connections to prevent Dong Zhimeng from transferring schools and kept her in the same class as you. Zhuge Peng, you're really something!"
