Chapter 5 "Have you ever thought about getting married?"

Li Fuzheng indeed did not think of Meng Liyue at first.

Many years after graduating from high school, she had changed so much that even those classmates who had more contact with her could not recognize her immediately, not to mention that Li Fuzheng and Meng Liyue had hardly spoken to each other.

He only remembered that he forgot his cell phone in the classroom one time. When he returned after evening self-study, he happened to see several girls surrounding a thin girl wearing framed glasses.

"Meng Liyue, you are so shameless. You actually dare to cheat and get such a high score in the quiz." Ruan Ranguang had already revealed her mean face since then.

Xia Pei also fanned the flames: "Also, who told you to wear this hairpin? Just because Moti is so pretty, you want to imitate her? You are just imitating others!"

These malicious words attacked the weak Meng Liyue wantonly. Her face turned red with anger and she clenched her fists to deny: "I didn't copy it! I didn't imitate Xu Moti. My mother bought it herself. She..."

Xu Moti, who was wearing a white dress under her school uniform, stood nearby with a perfect smile on her lips. She watched the excitement with a cold eye, in stark contrast to Meng Liyue's nervousness.

After Meng Liyue opened her mouth, her smile disappeared and she turned into a horrified expression: "Meng Liyue...how do you know your mother bought it herself, and not secretly imitated me?"

Ruan Ranguang immediately agreed: "That's right, Meng Liyue, your mother is a mistress, she probably hates Moti's mother in her heart!"

Xia Pei laughed sharply: "I guess she wanted to dress you up to be as pretty as Moti so that her father would take a closer look at you. Unfortunately, her father has already come to his senses and won't care about you anymore!"

Meng Liyue looked pale, deeply hurt by these words. She opened her mouth and tried hard to explain: "No, my mother is not..."

"Forget it, Meng Liyue. My mother and I don't want to bother with you anymore. But please don't imitate me in the future." Xu Moti showed magnanimity.

Ruan Ranguang continued to laugh: "Don't you look at what you look like? An ugly duckling can never turn into a white swan!"

The young Li Fuzheng, who had grown taller, leaned against the back door with one hand in his pocket and witnessed the entire process.

Before that, he actually had no impression of Meng Liyue. There was only a vague shadow of her. She sat in her seat all day, didn't like to laugh or make noise, and had no sense of existence.

But faced with this kind of one-sided bullying, he did not choose to turn a blind eye.

With a "bang", the half-open back door was pushed open.

The sudden loud noise startled everyone inside. Ruan Ranguang turned around and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Who is it? Can you afford to pay for scaring me..."

Following closely, I saw a boy walking slowly towards me, with his eyelids drooping lazily. His cold and sharp facial features were very attractive.

Ruan Ranguang's attitude immediately changed: "Li Fuzheng... I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you."

In their school, Li Fuzheng is the one that cannot be offended the most. He has a good family background, is good-looking enough, and is the center of attention. No one dares to mess with him.

Many girls secretly talked about Li Fuzheng in private, and regarded him as the object of their secret crush when they first fell in love.

Ruan Ranguang was no exception, but she never dared to say it out loud, because...

Seeing Li Fuzheng, Xu Moti narrowed his eyes and walked towards him: "Why are you back? Did you forget to bring something?"

Her familiarity with the tone of voice and her ability to get along naturally with Li Fuzheng also made many girls envy her.

Li Fuzheng did not answer her question.

In the past, he would have responded with a few words, but today he just looked away coldly, looking at the girl in the corner who was looking increasingly uneasy with her head down: "Do you need me to tell the teacher what happened today? The video I took can be used as evidence."

Xu Moti's smile froze, while Ruan Ranguang and Xia Pei were a little frightened: "Li Fuzheng, what are you doing?!"

"I can't stand your behavior."

Li Fuzheng was very straightforward. He took out his phone and said to Meng Liyue, "Here's the QQ number and the video. If they bother you again, just send the video and I can be your witness."

Ruan Ran trembled and questioned: "It's obviously Meng Liyue's fault..."

Li Fuzheng sneered: "What, you are a policeman? Is it your turn to judge her?"

Realizing that he would not sit idly by, Xu Moti bit her lip and explained in a fake manner: "Don't get me wrong, Fuzheng, they are indeed a little impulsive. I will persuade them well."

With just a few words, he cleared himself of all blame.

Li Fuzheng glanced at her and said, "I have no right to interfere in your affairs."

He turned his head, raised his chin, and reminded: "QQ number."

Warning from Xu Moti's eyes, Meng Liyue heard her own heartbeat getting faster and faster, and looked at Li Fuzheng who appeared in her world like a god.

She summoned up her courage and said the number.

He took out his cell phone from the drawer of his desk, walked out, and casually reminded me, "My words will count until you graduate."

Ruan Ranguang and Xia Pei looked unhappy and asked Xu Moti, "What should we do? Does Li Fuzheng want to be her backer now?"

"He's just enthusiastic." Xu Moti suppressed his dissatisfaction and anger and smiled sweetly again, "Even if he encounters stray cats and dogs on the street, he will help them."

"Then we..."

Xu Moti and Meng Liyue, who didn't have time to look away, looked at each other, their eyes gradually becoming colder, like a poisonous snake: "From now on, don't talk to her in school, understand?"

Since then, there were no more verbal attacks and the behavior turned into isolation, which made Meng Liyue feel relieved.

It was a casual help that Li Fuzheng probably didn't take too seriously, but it allowed Meng Liyue to live safely in the following days.

But she never thought that one day many years later, Li Fuzheng would remember her, remember the poor and pitiful girl...

Back to the present moment, Xia Pei shrank his shoulders, not daring to speak anymore, and tried his best to hint to Ruan Ranguang with his eyes.

Ruan Ranguang did not have the courage to challenge Li Fuzheng's authority, so he could only shut up in disappointment.

Meng Liyue calmed down, straightened her back, and said in a calm and neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Apologize to me, I have recorded everything you said just now, otherwise I will sue you for defamation."

She did not back down, nor was she the silly little girl who was bullied back then.

Coincidentally, there was a female lawyer present. She couldn't stand it any longer and immediately said, "I can help you collect evidence to fight this lawsuit! The chances of winning are very high!"

Ruan Ranguang and Xia Pei suddenly became nervous, completely forgetting what they had said. What if they were really sued?

Neither of them was willing to bear the consequences, especially Ruan Ranguang who was still concerned about the leverage Meng Liyue had.

Although it was hard to accept and I was very reluctant, I managed to squeeze out the three words "I'm sorry" and felt the feeling of being embarrassed in public.

Xia Pei was also forced to apologize. He could no longer stay and fled with Ruan Ranguang.

Meng Liyue took a deep breath and finally healed herself a little. She wanted to go out for some fresh air. Not long after she entered the corridor, she heard footsteps approaching from behind.

Before she could even turn around, she heard him ask, "Have you ever thought about getting married?"
