When Fang Lan returned to school after the weekend, the injuries on her face had mostly healed. As soon as Fang Lan arrived, she sat down next to Lin Ruanruan.
Although Huo Xian and Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng have gone to the neighboring province to participate in a physics competition, leaving his seat vacant, he has no intention of going back.
Sitting with Lin Ruanruan is quite comfortable; she's quiet, well-behaved, and can even help him rank up in the game.
Most importantly, Fang Lan believed that he and Lin Ruanruan had already shared a life-or-death bond, and that she was an inseparable comrade-in-arms.
Lin Ruanruan yawned. She had accidentally stayed up late playing games last night and was still a little sleepy.
"Fang Lan, you have to go back to the old house during your vacation, right?" Lin Ruanruan looked at Fang Lan, whose face had almost fully recovered, while lying on the table, thinking that the medicine she brought would probably be unnecessary.
Fang Lan pretended to take out her English book and used it to cover her face.
"Well, it's strange, my mom's attitude towards me has suddenly become much better. She even asked me to take you back to the old house this weekend."
Lin Ruanruan pouted, "Can we not go?"
There's really nothing fun to do there, and once you get there you can't just sit or lie down anywhere.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Fang treated her very well, Lin Ruanruan could tell that the family rules were very strict, so she always restrained herself and cooperated with Mr. and Mrs. Fang.
Fang Lan shrugged. "If you don't want to go, just refuse. It's no big deal."
Lin Ruanruan also picked up her book to cover her face. The homeroom teacher came in to patrol the room and said, "You don't understand the suffering of socially anxious people."
Seeing this, Fang Lan was about to say something when she heard Lin Ruanruan suddenly raise her voice and read aloud, "I am a descendant of Emperor Gaoyang, my royal father was Boyong~"
Fang Lan recited the text directly, "Today is my first day to go to..."
The homeroom teacher, who had appeared behind the two children unnoticed, nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the two children had been very obedient ever since they almost had their parents called in last time.
The homeroom teacher hummed a little tune as she left the classroom for morning reading.
He now stands very straight, and since the top student in the grade transferred to his class, he has become the envy of teachers in other classes.
As a result, two more top students joined the school when it reopened, and they are now bringing honor to the school.
No matter how jealous the other teachers were, it was no use, which made him feel good lately. That's why Fang Lan wasn't called in for parent-teacher meetings after she apologized last time.
Fang Lan watched his teacher walk out of the classroom, stopped reciting, and looked at Lin Ruanruan with admiration, "Sister Ruan, you are my goddess!"
He moved closer to Lin Ruanruan and read "Li Sao" with her.
"Sister Ruan, your skill is so useful! How did you detect it?"
Lin Ruanruan gave Fang Lan a mysterious smile, "Hehe, it's just basic stuff, basic stuff."
As morning reading ended and class was about to begin, Zheng Zhaodi walked into the classroom just as the bell rang. She immediately lay down at her seat, ignoring her usual female classmates who acted as if they hadn't seen her.
This surprised Lin Ruanruan, who looked at Fang Lan and asked, "Did they have a fight?"
Zheng Zhaodi used to be very close to these girls. Last time, they even waited for her after school together, wanting to drag her to Meiying to apologize.
Lin Ruanruan was just curious at first, but she didn't expect Fang Lan to actually know.
Then he leaned closer mysteriously and said, "It's soft, come closer to my ear."
So the two of them exchanged words like thieves, when suddenly Lin Ruanruan's eyes widened and she whispered, "What? Zheng Zhaodi is an illegitimate child?"
Fang Lan immediately took out her phone to show her screenshots of chat logs from various groups, and she didn't know where Fang Lan had joined these groups.
Lin Ruanruan currently only has class group and family group. She has never seen anyone have so many groups, and it is obvious that Fang Lan is particularly active in each group.
He was even the group admin for several of them. Lin Ruanruan looked at Fang Lan with admiration. My God, is this what an e-person is like? He is indeed terrifying.
Fang Lan flashed a bright white smile, "Hehe, basic stuff, basic stuff."
Many people were discussing the events that had occurred at the Xu family's banquet a few days prior.
That day, many exciting things happened at the Xu family. First, Xu Yelu confronted her father's mistress on the spot.
Later, Xu Chaosheng discovered that Zheng Zhaodi was an illegitimate child and 'accidentally' revealed the truth.
It turns out that Madam Zheng had a difficult pregnancy and was cheated on by another woman. However, Boss Zheng made his fortune thanks to Madam Zheng's family, the Xu family.
So the final solution was to keep the child in the mistress's womb. Mrs. Zheng pretended to be pregnant, and when the mistress gave birth, they were both disappointed to find out it was a girl.
She randomly chose the name Zheng Zhaodi, hoping to attract a boy. Unexpectedly, Madam Zheng actually became pregnant later.
The agreed-upon price was halved, and the mistress, unable to resist the powerful, gritted her teeth, took the money, and left.
As it turned out, this mistress was a gambler. After gambling, she secretly went to Zheng Zhaodi and insisted that she was her biological mother. She even showed Zheng Zhaodi the test report.
Zheng Zhaodi didn't want to acknowledge the child, so the mistress threatened to let everyone, including Zheng Zhaodi's friends and classmates, know that she was an illegitimate child if she wasn't given money.
Xu Chaosheng witnessed this scene. Almost a year has passed, and no one knows what possessed Xu Chaosheng that day, but he 'accidentally' revealed it while holding the test report in his hand.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Mr. Zheng had probably offended the Xu family in a business deal, and they were using this incident as a pretext to attack him.
Madam Zheng probably beat Zheng Zhaodi when she got back, which is why Zheng Zhaodi didn't come to school for several days.
Having learned what had happened, Lin Ruanruan glanced at Zheng Zhaodi with complicated emotions.
She soon discovered that the class group was also discussing these matters, with some even suggesting that the mistress Xu Yelu had caught might be Zheng Zhaodi, and a bunch of others echoing this sentiment.
