Han Zhen and a few other mean girls were given a good warning by the homeroom teacher. Even though Han Zhen was not convinced, she did not dare to argue back in class.
After all, she has never been a daring person, otherwise she wouldn't always let Zheng Zhaodi take the lead. If her parents knew about this, she would definitely lose her allowance.
After class, Lin Ruanruan experienced a baptism of knowledge, but she didn't quite understand many parts of the lecture.
God knows, she was a humanities student in her past life and couldn't understand science questions at all; in this life, there are no separate classes for humanities and sciences, so she can only grit her teeth and study.
"Fang Lan, do you know how friction is derived?" Lin Ruanruan was too embarrassed to ask her teacher, so she could only look to Fang Lan for help.
Fang Lan was also amazing. He hadn't been paying much attention in class, yet he immediately answered Lin Ruanruan's question.
Lin Ruanruan suddenly realized and looked at Fang Lan with admiration, "Fang Lan, are you the legendary gifted academic genius?"
Fang Lan put down his phone and stroked his chin. "The main thing is, it's really quite simple; you'll understand it after just one listen."
Lin Ruanruan glanced at Fang Lan with envy; she also wanted to learn the skill just by listening.
Just as Lin Ruanruan was about to ask another question, a shadow covered their desks. Lin Ruanruan looked up, and the shadow belonged to Zheng Zhaodi.
Upon seeing that it was Zheng Zhaodi, Fang Lan slightly shifted her body, shielding Lin Ruanruan behind her. Zheng Zhaodi, noticing Fang Lan's protective posture, pursed her lips and looked at Lin Ruanruan sitting behind Fang Lan.
"I...I'm sorry, Lin Ruanruan, I..." Zheng Zhaodi organized her thoughts, having thought about it for a while after class before deciding to apologize.
"I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I still want to apologize to you for my past behavior."
Fang Lan looked at Lin Ruanruan, ready to kick her out if she showed the slightest displeasure.
Lin Ruanruan looked at Zheng Zhaodi, but in the end, she didn't say anything. The hurt from the past had left a mark on her heart that could never be erased.
When Zheng Zhaodi saw that Lin Ruanruan didn't speak and turned to leave, Lin Ruanruan stood up.
Lin Ruanruan took out the wound medicine that she had originally prepared for Fang Lan from her bag. "It was originally for Fang Lan, but his injury healed too quickly."
No wonder Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang said Fang Lan was so resilient; even though she was beaten until her head was swollen, she recovered completely in just one day.
Lin Ruanruan handed the medicine to Zheng Zhaodi, saying, "A girl's face is very important. If you don't mind, you can take it and use it."
Zheng Zhaodi reached out and took it without refusing. "Actually, I'm here today to withdraw from school."
She was supposed to say goodbye to Han Zhen today, but who knew...
“My mother has made arrangements for me to go abroad to avoid trouble. The injuries on my face were not inflicted by my mother, but by my father.”
Lin Ruanruan and Fang Lan exchanged a glance but remained silent. Zheng Zhaodi must have something to say to them.
Tears welled in Zheng Zhaodi's eyes. For so many years, her mother had been taking care of her, while her father was rarely home. She had always thought her mother was her biological mother. Even after her younger brother was born, her mother treated her very well.
"Let me also apologize to you and Huo Xian on Huo Momo's behalf," Zheng Zhaodi said after thinking for a moment. "Back then, it wasn't just Xu Chaosheng who found out that my biological mother had found me, but Momo was too."
"That's why we became good friends. She didn't threaten me like Xu Chaosheng did; she had her own difficulties, just like me. Of course, that's not an excuse to erase our mistakes. We will change."
"She's free now, and I'm free of my shackles too."
Zheng Zhaodi wiped away her tears, her voice choked with emotion. She looked at Lin Ruanruan and said, "You have to be careful of Xu Chaosheng. He's a madman, and he's already got his eye on you."
Zheng Zhaodi also told Lin Ruanruan the reason why she went to Phantom before, and Fang Lan clenched her fists in anger.
It turns out that Xu Chaosheng had threatened Zheng Zhaodi, making her take Lin Ruanruan to Meiying, and if she failed, he would not keep Zheng Zhaodi's secret.
"Damn it, what the hell is this?" Fang Lan spat out, wanting to beat Xu Chaosheng up right now.
After Zheng Zhaodi finished speaking, she bowed to Lin Ruanruan and left.
Lin Ruanruan was still a little dazed; these were things she had never encountered while reading the book.
This is the real world. Everyone is flesh and blood, and everyone has many faces—bad, good, and those with a conscience.
Fang Lan looked at Lin Ruanruan with concern, worried that she had been frightened.
Lin Ruanruan smiled at Fang Lan, "Don't worry, my dad is the feed king, my mom is the woman behind the feed king, and they even hired Uncle Wang to protect me."
"So as long as I see Xu Chaosheng, I just need to stay away and not get close. Sigh, that's the trouble of a beautiful girl."
Lin Ruanruan sent Huo Qifa a message to report the matter. She now has someone backing her up, unlike in her previous life when anyone could step on her or bully her.
Fang Lan also reported the matter to her older brother, who was her best friend and couldn't be bullied.
Huo Qi read the message twice in its entirety after receiving it, and then let out a cold snort. "The Xu family is truly audacious."
He quickly replied to Lin Ruanruan's message.
The father held the information Huo Qi had found, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed. "We absolutely cannot cooperate with the Xu family."
Huo Qi nodded, "It's not just that we can't cooperate; getting involved with them could lead to utter ruin."
“But this is all I can find now, and it doesn’t constitute evidence. The Xu family still has connections in politics.”
Mr. Huo nodded and put away the documents in his hand. "But the Huo family is not to be trifled with. Anyway, the entertainment projects we discussed before were never finalized, and we just canceled them."
"We owe a lot to you, Qi, this time. If you hadn't discovered it in advance, our Huo family might have been caught in the crossfire."
Huo Qi smiled and said, "We owe this to our little lucky star's reminder."
Thinking of Xu Chaosheng bouncing around happily, she curled her lips in a mocking smile. He wouldn't be bouncing around for long.
Lin Ruanruan carefully read Huo Qi's reply to her, then looked at Fang Lan beside her, "I've finished complaining, Xu Chaosheng definitely won't have time to deal with us afterwards."
Fang Lan asked in confusion, "Why did you add 'door'?"
Fang Lan soon found out the reason.
He looked at Xu Chaosheng, who insisted on cornering him in the toilet to get to know him, and silently wondered if his sister was a prophet.
