Zhuge Peng's eyes suddenly darkened as he looked at Su Yu, and he gave a self-deprecating smile.
“You’re right, I’m a useless man. If I were useful, what would have happened to me that you’d allow to treat me like this? Alright, Su Yu, from today onwards, I won’t get in your way anymore.”
After finishing his sentence, Zhuge Peng turned and left without even glancing at the disheveled Su Yu behind him. Before, he might have been unwilling to give up, but now he completely understood that in Su Yu's eyes, he was just a clown.
Back in the classroom, everyone was talking about Wang Min accepting money from the Wen family. Some even had the guts to go up to Wen Lu and ask if it was true.
"Wen Lu, you've been in the Wen family for so long, did you know about these things? You weren't kicked out of the Wen family because you knew about these things, were you?"
A girl named Mu Qing sat at the table in front of Wen Lu, turning her head to look at Wen Lu with a gossipy expression. After spending the past two days with Wen Lu, she found that Wen Lu was not at all like the rumors. Wen Lu had a cold personality, but she was not an unapproachable person.
“If I had known about these things earlier, I probably would have left the Wen family long ago. I was also deceived back then. Madam Wen even told me that she gave Dong Zhimeng’s family a sum of money to thank Dong Zhimeng for protecting me.”
"But later I learned that the reason why Dong Zhimeng's family was so badly harmed by the Su family was actually because of this Madam Wen."
Upon hearing Wen Lu's answer, they couldn't help but gasp in shock; no one had expected the Wen family to be so terrifying.
Just then, Su Yu, her clothes and hair soaked and looking disheveled, stood at the back door and roared angrily in Wen Lu's direction.
"Wen Lu, do you have any conscience at all? You were raised by my mother. She didn't even dare to bring me home because of you, and she wanted you to be the little princess of the Wen family. And now you're here slandering her. How can you be so vicious?"
As she spoke, Su Yu tried to rush forward and grab Wen Lu's hair. She hadn't had a chance to attack Wen Lu, and the angrier she got, the more she thought about it. So she went straight to Wen Lu's dormitory to settle the score, but she didn't expect to hear Wen Lu talking badly about the Wen family as soon as she arrived.
She knew that Wen Lu's words were very persuasive, after all, Wen Lu's identity was very special, and that was why she couldn't let Wen Lu continue.
However, before Su Yu could even touch Wen Lu, Zhuge Peng grabbed her arm and flung her against his back door. Su Yu's slender body slammed into his back door.
"Zhuge Peng, are you crazy? You actually attacked me for Wen Lu's sake! What kind of spell did Wen Lu cast on you? You watched Wen Lu throw water at me in the infirmary, and that's one thing, but what do you mean by this?"
Twisting the truth is something Su Yu is most skilled at, but she forgot that the place she is standing in is not her territory, and no one is willing to believe what she says.
“Su Yu, you need to understand one thing! Wen Lu splashed water on you in the infirmary to save you. You fainted over in the woods, and it was Qian Lailai and me who took you to the infirmary.”
"But the school doctor wasn't at the infirmary, and we were worried and wanted to take you to the hospital. That's when Wen Lu appeared. Wen Lu saved you with a cup of water. How can you say she bullied you?"
Zhuge Peng frowned and spoke the truth. He finally understood Su Yu's ability to distort the truth. He had been too naive before, actually believing Su Yu's words.
"I also saw Wen Lu break her water last time, it seems to be to save Su Yu. Su Yu is not doing well, you should go to the hospital to get checked out. Your problem seems to be quite serious. How can you faint from just a little shock? Or are you doing this to run away from the situation?"
Just then, a girl sitting in front suddenly spoke up. She was Su Yu's mortal enemy in the school, and it was well-known that she and Su Yu were always at odds, but Su Yu never dared to confront her directly.
Hearing Jiang Yiyi's words, Su Yu's expression turned somewhat grim. She also began to suspect that there might be something wrong with her body. She only knew that she had nightmares every night, but she did not find any discomfort in her body.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Su Yu stopped talking about it, but the grudge between her and Wen Lu had not yet been settled.
"Wen Lu, why are you slandering my mother? You left the Wen family, not because my mother kicked you out. Isn't what you're doing going too far?"
Su Yu couldn't leave in a sorry state. No matter what, she had to keep the narrative in her own hands and not let Wen Lu reveal the truth here.
“I was not kicked out of the Wen family by Madam Wen. I left on my own. The reason I left was because I saw through Madam Wen’s idea of ruining me. I had to leave the Wen family to protect myself.”
"Su Yu, I've already returned the status of the eldest daughter of the Wen family to you. What more could you possibly want? Why are you targeting me at every turn?"
Wen Lu suddenly changed her tactics. She had indeed wanted to expose all the bad things Su Yu had done, but she didn't want the people in the class to judge who was right and who was wrong between her and Su Yu. She knew that making people sympathize with her was her biggest trump card.
After Wen Lu finished speaking, tears streamed down her face. She lowered her head and made a very aggrieved expression. With the help of her stunning good looks, everyone around her felt sorry for Wen Lu.
The people who were originally watching the commotion suddenly turned on Su Yu. A boy suddenly stood up from his seat, walked to Su Yu's side, and pushed her out of the classroom.
“Su Yu, this is Class 24, not a place for you to bully others. We are not interested in your family affairs, but we know that it is true that your mother gave money to Wang Min. It’s not up to you to decide everything. Justice will prevail.”
After saying that, the boy slammed the back door shut. Everyone in the classroom gave him a thumbs up, thinking that his heroic rescue was quite cool.
A tissue was placed in front of Wen Lu. Wen Lu looked up, and her big, teary eyes met a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. The owner of the peach blossom eyes, Jiang Yiyi, smiled gently at Wen Lu.
"Wipe away your tears. From now on, in Class 24, neither you nor Dong Zhimeng will be bullied. With me, Jiang Yiyi, here, even Su Yu won't dare to be too presumptuous."
As she spoke, Jiang Yiyi directly pulled Wen Lu's hand and stuffed a tissue into it. She wasn't good at comforting people, but she had already naturally included Wen Lu in her protective circle.
Wen Lu almost burst out laughing when she heard Jiang Yiyi's words. She never dreamed that one day someone would stand up and say they would protect her. This was really too interesting.
