The dream shattered so suddenly and unexpectedly.

Li Ruolin sighed: "Our Li family is not fortunate enough to have that."

The Li family was able to cultivate the Sacred Heart Fruit thanks to Xie Li. Afterwards, they came under the scrutiny of the ancient martial arts world, and the Li family was almost wiped out.

A mysterious person intervened to save the Li family, instructing them to keep a low profile. Later, an agreement was signed to reserve half of the Li family's Sacred Heart Fruit.

Li Ruolin never expected that the mysterious person was actually Luo Zhihan.

Luo Ming always stepped forward, and the transactions were kept extremely low-key. The Li family was already nouveau riche, and suddenly they became even richer, without arousing any suspicion from others.

Over the years, they have gradually gained a foothold and finally have the ability to protect themselves.

But Luo Zhihan was still a powerful figure they couldn't afford to offend.

——

At the start of the new week, Li Chen arrived at Linjiang No. 1 Middle School in the luxury car that Li Ruolin had just bought for him.

Unfortunately, the car ended up right next to the Pei family's car.

Pei Si was blocked before he could even get out of the car, which annoyed him. The driver was too scared to speak, but Madam Pei, who had brought her son along, glanced at the car and frowned.

"This must be the Li family's car." She remembered clearly that the new neighbors who moved into the villa next door had bought two townhouses next door with great fanfare, saying that they were for their son so that he wouldn't be looked down upon by others.

The Pei family wasn't a top-tier wealthy family in Linjiang City, and she didn't dare offend the Li family.

He instructed the driver, "It's alright, just move aside. Peace and harmony bring wealth."

The driver carefully steered the wheel and moved the vehicle aside.

As soon as Pei Si got out of the car, Li Chen followed suit.

He was wearing the brand-new school uniform of Linjiang No.1 Middle School, and his hair had been dyed back to black, making him look like a young master from a wealthy family.

Pei Si's pupils contracted slightly. "You fucking want to cause trouble?"

Li Chen: "Looking for trouble? Are you out of your mind? Does Linjiang No. 1 Middle School belong to your family? What business is it of yours if I go to school?"

Seeing her son's posture, ready to fight at the slightest provocation, Madam Pei felt a headache coming on. She got out of the car, saying, "This must be the young master of the Li family. It's a misunderstanding, I..."

His gaze fell on Li Chen's face, and he was completely speechless.

She looked at Li Chen with surprise and doubt, her expression slightly flustered: "It's you—"

Li Chen: "Yeah, it's me. Didn't expect that, did you, ma'am? Didn't you say I was a hoodlum and couldn't get into Linjiang No. 1 Middle School? Well, I got in now, much better than your good-for-nothing son. Do you still feel superior?"

Madam Pei's face turned green with anger; Li Chen's words were far too impolite.

Pei Si: "You fucking have to watch your mouth..."

"Hey, are you going to hit someone?!" Li Chen exclaimed in shock, taking a few steps back. "The school bully is going to hit someone!"

In the morning, during the peak time for school arrivals, luxury cars gathered at the entrance of Linjiang No. 1 Middle School, all dropping off their children.

Madam Pei felt the probing gazes of everyone and her face flushed with unease. She knew her son had always been rebellious and didn't have a good reputation at school, but this was the first time she had faced so many eyes on him.

Li Chen is a brat and a student. How could she, an adult, possibly argue with a child?

Madam Pei stopped her enraged son and forced a smile, "My dear student, you've misunderstood."

He pushed Pei Si, saying, "Go to class and stop causing trouble."

Li Chen feigned panic, but Madam Pei noticed that two burly men quickly got out of his car. If things really got out of hand, Pei Si wouldn't stand a chance.

Li Chen was just showing off; he didn't really intend to cause a scene.

Xie Li had instructed that anyone who came to study at Linjiang No. 1 Middle School must abide by the school rules and regulations and study hard to improve every day.
