Seeing that everyone else had shut up, Lian Xin felt a pang of resentment.

No, this time, she absolutely cannot let Song Yuli off so easily.

So, unwilling to give up, she stood up, immediately attracting the attention of many people.

"Let me tell you, their thick skin is hereditary."

This statement successfully piqued everyone's curiosity: "How so?"

Song Yuli stared at her with red eyes, the book in her hand crumpled in her hand.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Lian Xin instantly felt that same feeling of being the center of attention again.

So, she slightly raised her chin, curled her lips at Song Yuli, gave a strange smile, and said loudly.

"Her mother was just like her, pregnant out of wedlock. Many people advised her mother to have an abortion, but her mother refused and walked around the village with her big belly. So, do you think thick-skinnedness is hereditary?"

The others frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Liang Nannan pulled Song Yuli behind her, glaring at Lian Xin who was speaking eloquently, and said, "Damn it, Lian Xin, haven't you said enough?"

Lian Xin looked at her, smiled, and shook her head: "No."

She had truly had enough of this period of time, and she wanted to unleash everything she had suffered on Song Yuli.

Xu Yang looked at Song Yuli's pale face and felt a pang of heartache. He was just about to go over and tell Lian Xin to shut up when his friend pulled him back.

Xu Yang frowned and said, "Let go."

Yan Yunchen released his grip, his brows furrowing slightly: "What do you want to do?"

Xu Yang glared at Lian Xin, gritting his teeth: "Tell that Lian Xin to shut up."

Yan Yunchen looked disapproving: "This has nothing to do with you. If your rash act of standing up for Song Yuli gets back to the teacher, it will only harm her."

"I……"

He knew that as a key high school, No. 1 High School was very strict about cracking down on early romantic relationships. If he stood up for Song Yuli today, he and Song Yuli would definitely be called out for talks every day for the next period of time.

He didn't care, but he was worried that Song Yuli would hate him because of it.

"Now I think she inherited more than just thick-skinnedness from her mother; she probably inherited her shamelessness as well. At such a young age, she's already..."

"Smack—"

Before Lian Xin could finish speaking, Song Yuli hit her on the head with a book.

Everyone stared at Song Yuli in surprise.

Song Yuli pushed Liang Nannan away, glaring at Lian Xin with red eyes: "I don't care what you say about me, but what right do you have to talk about my mother like that? Apologize!"

Why did she get pregnant? Isn't it all thanks to her?

In the past, no matter how Lian Xin slandered, cursed, or bullied her, she could refrain from fighting back. But how could she insult a dead person?

The stinging pain on her forehead gradually spread throughout her body. Lian Xin touched her forehead, looked at Song Yuli with bloodshot eyes, and screamed in disbelief.

"Song Yuli, how dare you hit me?! Did I say something wrong? Your mother is shameless to begin with, having an affair at such a young age, getting pregnant out of wedlock, and you still want me to apologize? Dream on..."

Before Lian Xin could finish speaking, Song Yuli grabbed her by the neck.

Everyone else was startled and stood up to comfort the out-of-control Song Yuli.

"Song Yuli, please don't do anything foolish! Let Lian Xin go!"

"Yes, let her go right now. If you strangle Lian Xin to death, you'll have to pay with your life."
