"I'm afraid you'll run off with someone else," Shen Heng joked, referring to what Xu Yue had just said to Bai Jiaojiao. "While I'm not home, can Bai Doudou keep an eye on you for me?"

He looked at the dog; as long as his sister was Bai Jiaojiao, it didn't matter who his brother-in-law was.

"You stay at home all day and don't teach your child anything good!"

Shen Heng was glared at by Bai Jiaojiao, and he just kept laughing.

Although Bai Jiaojiao was famous at school, she was only happy for two days.

During class, she suddenly noticed that her classmates had different expressions. Xu Yue and Shu Manling both looked very uncomfortable. When they saw her arrive, they quickly pulled her to her seat.

"What's wrong?" Bai Jiaojiao asked curiously.

Xu Yue hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Have you offended anyone recently?"

"Offend someone?"

Seeing that Bai Jiaojiao was still confused, Xu Yue couldn't bring herself to say something, so she lowered her head and wrote it down on a piece of paper: "Before we came here, we saw this written on the blackboard in the classroom."

Bai Jiaojiao looked down and saw the contents of the document, and she trembled with anger.

'Bai Jiaojiao seduced a married teacher and has a chaotic personal life; we hope the school leadership will conduct a thorough investigation.'

What terrified her was that this had happened exactly the same way in her past life.

She was falsely accused of having questionable morals at school, making her a target of public criticism. The school investigated and questioned her multiple times, but even though no results were found, she was constantly pointed at and talked about, unable to hold her head high, and had to suspend her studies for a period of time.

Bai Jiaojiao didn't know who did it at the time, but she does now.

Ding Shifang.

Even though she never had any further contact with the Ding family after arriving in Yancheng, Ding Shifang still took action against her.

Seeing Bai Jiaojiao standing there in a daze, Xu Yue asked worriedly, "Jiaojiao, are you alright? It's all my fault. I was delayed while eating breakfast today. Otherwise, if we had come earlier, everyone wouldn't have seen us!"

Although the two girls wiped the blackboard clean as soon as they entered the classroom, most of the students in the two classes who were attending the same class still saw it.

"It's nothing." Bai Jiaojiao calmed herself down and crumpled the note in her hand.

But how could Chen Meizhen let go of such a good opportunity to kick someone when they're down? She pretended to be calm and looked at Bai Jiaojiao: "This couldn't have been written by Teacher Xiang's wife, could it? Bai Jiaojiao, no wonder he likes you so much. Not only does he not let you teach, but he also thinks of you for every good opportunity!"

"Shut up!" This was the first time Bai Jiaojiao had truly argued with Chen Meizhen. Her face flushed slightly. "This has nothing to do with Teacher Xiang. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation, and you can forget about going to school!"

In her past life, the school was impossible to trace, so she certainly wouldn't make up a teacher out of thin air. However, in this life, Xiang Anqi's favoritism towards her seemed to confirm this fact even more.

Xu Yue defended Bai Jiaojiao, saying, "You've seen it before, Bai Jiaojiao is already married. What nonsense are you talking about? Chen Meizhen, you didn't write this, did you? Everyone knows you're jealous of Bai Jiaojiao!"

Others might not know, but Xu Yue and Shu Manling did. Shen Heng practically treated Bai Jiaojiao like his own eyes, wishing he could gouge her out and keep her close to his heart. Bai Jiaojiao going to have an affair with someone else? That's utter nonsense.

"What do I have to be jealous of her for?!" Chen Meizhen's dark side was exposed, and she instantly revealed a fierce expression.

Xu Yue didn't mince words: "You're just jealous that she's prettier than you, gets better grades, and is more popular with the teachers!"

"What's all the noise about? Class is about to start! Xu Yue, sit down!"

The teacher entered the classroom carrying books. Xu Yue and Chen Meizhen glared at each other and sat down, neither willing to yield to the other.

Shu Manling glanced at Bai Jiaojiao and saw that she was still focused on listening to the lesson. She secretly admired her composure.

Bai Jiaojiao wasn't necessarily mentally strong; rather, she knew there was nothing she could do about it if she acted hastily.

There were only two classes in the morning. After class, Bai Jiaojiao went up to the podium first: "Classmates, please listen to me for a moment."

The truth needs to be found out, but more important is to control the spread of rumors.

"I apologize for disturbing everyone with what happened on the blackboard this morning, but I hope you will not believe the rumors. If such a thing really happened, then if this anonymous person wants to solve the problem, the first thing they should do is write a report to our class teacher and the college leaders, rather than letting the students see it."

Bai Jiaojiao's words make sense, and the classmates sitting below have been her classmates for over a year. Her unassuming and studious personality doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.

Moreover, Xu Yue is right.

Everyone among them knew that Bai Jiaojiao had a seemingly unapproachable partner.

If she really was cheating on him, what else would she need? Her man could easily kill her.

Bai Jiaojiao continued, "I hope that everyone can trust me out of consideration for our friendship as classmates. You all know how important reputation is to everyone. Please don't spread what happened today. I will definitely find out the truth soon and give everyone an explanation."

After Bai Jiaojiao finished speaking, she bowed downwards.

Her attitude couldn't be more sincere, and coupled with her naturally delicate appearance, and her soft-spoken manner, who wouldn't feel affection for her?

Everyone felt that Bai Jiaojiao must have been wronged, and some even speculated that Xu Yue might be right. Bai Jiaojiao didn't offend anyone, and if anyone really wanted to get back at her, it would definitely be Chen Meizhen.

"Don't worry, we're all in the same class, of course we'll side with you!"

"That's right, you guys from the class next door, I'm telling you, you're not allowed to bully anyone from our class, and nobody is allowed to tell anyone about this, or you'll see how I teach you a lesson!"
