Zhuo Zhaopeng frowned slightly and reluctantly took out his phone. Just as he was about to call Lian Xin, a slightly hoarse voice rang out at the classroom door.

"Report."

Everyone's gaze fell on Lian Xin standing at the classroom door, their brows furrowing slightly in surprise.

Although Lian Xin had exquisite makeup on her face, it couldn't hide the haggard look around her eyes.

What's even more surprising is that it's already summer, with temperatures reaching 27 or 28 degrees Celsius, yet Lian Xin is wearing long jeans and a turtleneck long-sleeved sweatshirt.

"My God, it's only been two days, how did Lian Xin change like this?"

"Is Lian Xin out of her mind? It's so hot, isn't she hot dressed like that?"

"Anyway, it looks hot to me."

Song Yuli, who had been silent all along, looked thoughtfully at Lian Xin's current attire.

"Hey, did you know that Lian Xin's father died in a car accident?"

"I know, I know. This has already been reported on TV. I heard it was premeditated murder."

"Do you think Lian Xin's car accident might have been orchestrated by the Tian Group?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? If this gets to the ears of the Tian Group, you're dead."

"It's not just me; everyone's saying the same thing."

"..."

The whispers of her classmates reached Lian Xin's ears. She bit her lip hard and clenched her fists tightly at her sides.

"Snap—Quiet!"

Lu Yueling patted the table and said softly, "Lian Xin, go back to your seat and sit down."

Lian Xin nodded, then silently walked to her seat. Before she could sit down, Zhuo Zhaopeng gave her a disdainful look and then squeezed in.

Upon seeing this, Lian Xin's face immediately darkened.

Lu Yueling stood on the podium, her stern gaze sweeping across the classroom before she spoke: "Students, today you are going to the battlefield to fight for your future. Do you have the confidence to get good grades? Do you have the confidence to get into your desired school?"

Everyone: "Yes!"

Lu Yueling nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, your teacher will be waiting for your good news at school. Keep it up!"

After saying that, Lu Yueling walked out.

Seeing this, everyone started to gather in twos and threes to talk again, but Lian Xin was the only one sitting blankly in her seat.

Looking at Song Yuli surrounded by several girls, a hint of jealousy and resentment flashed in Lian Xin's eyes.

Song Yuli was the one who was ostracized and left alone before, so why is she now able to get along well with her classmates, while Lian Xin is sitting in her seat like an idiot?

Just as Lian Xin was feeling resentful, a figure walked up to her side and spoke with a hint of gossip.

"Lian Xin, I remember you said a few days ago that your dad found you a godfather. Can you tell us what your godfather does?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else gave a thumbs-up.

Upon hearing this, Lian Xin frowned slightly, and the image of Shang Zhengqiang's fat, big-eared face involuntarily flashed through her mind, making her feel nauseous.

God knows how desperate she felt when she woke up that morning and saw Shang Zhengqiang's magnified face.

She was overjoyed to recognize her godfather, but in the end, he just wanted to sleep with her!

Not only that, he even filmed the incident to threaten her, forcing her to submit to him and be at his mercy.

Whenever she thought of this, she wished she could kill him!
