The students were quite understanding of Lin Ruoyan's decision to make Lin Chen the class monitor, because everyone assumed that Lin Ruoyan was Lin Chen's "secret lover".

However, it's quite puzzling that she simultaneously appointed Ning Jiaqi as the class's study committee member. The two are clearly rivals, aren't they? They've openly feuded several times, let alone behind the scenes. How could Lin Ruoyan, her "secret lover," promote Ning Jiaqi, her "official girlfriend"? Is she really that selfless?

Ning Jiaqi, on the other hand, initially refused the position, but since she was the top student in the entire school, she did have a responsibility to help the other students in her class improve their grades as well. In the end, she was morally pressured by Lin Ruoyan and pushed into the position of class monitor.

This directly led to the situation where she originally wanted to take Wu Ge with her to track down Lin Chen and Jiang Jiahan, but instead, Lin Ruoyan slapped a bunch of test papers and homework into her arms!

As the class monitor, I could only assist the homeroom teacher in grading papers and distributing homework, and I had no time to care about Lin Chen and Jiang Jiahan.

So to the uninformed onlookers, Lin Ruoyan seemed to want reconciliation. But only Ning Jiaqi knew that the hatred between the two women had deepened!

Seeing Lin Chen invoke the title of class monitor, Che Yulin grew increasingly angry. He had been in the class for almost three years and was only a vice class monitor, while Lin Chen, having been there for less than a month, had become the class monitor?

She really managed to win over the homeroom teacher; that's impressive!

"So what if you're the class monitor? Everyone knows how you got the position!" Che Yulin said angrily.

"Say it again if you dare!" Lin Chen felt that he was just too good-tempered, which allowed Che Yulin, this lawless rich kid, to be so arrogant.

Actually, Che Yulin was already a little scared, because Lin Chen's aura was really making him feel suffocated. But after all, he was a person who cared about his reputation; the whole class was watching him! If he chickened out now, how could he hold his head up again?

Seeing that Che Yulin showed no intention of getting up, Lin Chen stopped talking. He grabbed Che Yulin by the collar with one hand and pulled him up as if he were something insignificant!

Without even glancing at him, she sat down in his seat.

Che Yulin glared angrily at Lin Chen, a surge of humiliation welling up inside him. His puberty hormones were surging, foreshadowing some physical action he was about to take.

"Lin Chen, what exactly do you mean? Do you believe I'll tell the teacher?" Che Yulin said coldly.

"Fine, go ahead and report it. Do you need me to call the teacher for you?" Lin Chen raised his head slightly and asked with a cold smile.

Actually, Che Yulin said it subconsciously. Back when their homeroom teacher was the bald Old Zhao, he was always tattling on others, so he was used to it. But now, as he spoke, he realized, what's the point of going to the teacher? If Lin Ruoyan comes, she'll only continue to help Lin Chen!

At this moment, the classroom was completely silent, all eyes focused on Lin Chen and Che Yulin, a tense and subtle atmosphere filling the air. Clearly, a conflict sparked by Ning Jiaqi had begun!

Fighting among good students is already a rare occurrence. What's more, it's over a woman, which instantly heightened the public's interest in the drama. Everyone stared intently, afraid of missing a single detail.

"Lin Chen, do you think she'll agree to sit with you just because you want to? Don't be so narcissistic!"

Che Yulin was so angry he was about to explode. The moment Lin Chen grabbed him by the neck and dragged him up, he had already deeply felt the other's astonishing strength and knew that he was probably no match for him.

Therefore, he dared not act rashly. But now, having already lost face, he had no choice but to use Ning Jiaqi as a shield in order to save face.

"How can you be so shameless as to talk about our teacher Wang, flirt with women outside of school, and then try to curry favor with Ning Jiaqi?"

Che Yulin unleashed a torrent of derogatory terms he could think of, preparing for his final offensive against Lin Chen. Sowing discord and tattling were his specialties. These were the very methods that had allowed him to maintain his position as vice-class monitor for the past three years.

Faced with Che Yulin's all-out attack, Lin Chen had already devised a countermeasure. He slightly turned his head to look at Ning Jiaqi beside him. Apart from glancing at him briefly when he entered the classroom, she had remained unusually quiet.

Ning Jiaqi remained quietly seated, engrossed in her book, as if everything outside her was irrelevant.

Even though Lin Chen and Che Yulin had just had such a big conflict, Ning Jiaqi seemed not to have heard a thing and remained as calm as a mountain. This detached attitude made Lin Chen feel a sense of helplessness and bitterness.

"Some people actually dare to call me shameless? That's utterly ridiculous."

Lin Chen turned the pages of the book, completely ignoring Che Yulin's arrogant attitude. This was completely different from his usual approachable image, making those around him wonder if this was really Lin Chen.

Che Yulin was completely enraged by Lin Chen's disregard, and he felt his blood rush to his head. Driven by anger, he imitated Lin Chen's earlier action and reached out to grab Lin Chen's collar.

However, as if Lin Chen had eyes in the back of his head, he reached out with one hand and firmly grasped Che Yulin's wrist with a light touch.

"Lin Chen, do you think you're so great just because you got good grades? Hmph, I heard you're an orphan? You don't even have parents? You grew up in an orphanage? Hmph, no wonder you have no manners!"

As Che Yulin spoke, he recalled the whole incident, and the anger he had felt from Lin Chen's humiliation seemed to have subsided considerably. He began to try to use Lin Chen's background to attack him, to make him lose his dignity in front of him.

Lin Chen remained silent for a moment, then tightened his grip slightly, causing Che Yulin's face to contort in pain. He felt Lin Chen's hand clamping down on his wrist like an iron clamp, rendering him immobile.

"Aaaaah, let go! It hurts like hell!"

In the end, he had no choice but to give up struggling and escape. He hadn't expected Lin Chen to have such strength.

During the brief moment of Lin Chen's silence, everyone's initial interest in watching the spectacle vanished.

Sympathy for the weak is human nature, and at this moment, everyone seemed to have a psychological explanation for Lin Chen's rudeness. On the contrary, they began to worry about Lin Chen.

After all, it was only from the few words spoken by Che Yulin that everyone learned that Lin Chen had such a tragic background.
