Because An Mingzhu insisted, Chu Shanwen didn't try to pay the bill with her anymore.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry to everyone!" An Mingzhu apologized to everyone again with utmost sincerity.
Although 10,000 yuan is not a lot, not all families are wealthy. Some families are quite poor, and 10,000 yuan is basically their living expenses for a semester.
Now that An Mingzhu has helped them pay the money, they naturally feel much more relieved, and their goodwill towards An Mingzhu has increased even more.
"Mingzhu, this is not your fault at all! It's all Lin Chuxia's fault!" Chu Yiyi said angrily, unable to bear seeing An Mingzhu so self-blaming and upset.
An Mingzhu's eyes flickered, and she looked down at her toes, appearing heartbroken and distressed: "I... but even so, it's still my fault... I didn't keep a close eye on her, and I didn't realize in time how much Chu Xia valued money..."
These words undoubtedly tell everyone that Lin Chuxia is a gold digger who was just deliberately trying to swindle their money.
"I never imagined that Lin Chuxia, who seemed so aloof on the surface, would be so corrupt inside!"
"She's disgusting! How could she use such a disgusting method to swindle my money!"
"She's probably desperate for money. Wasn't she supposed to have grown up in a mountain village?"
"But there's nothing we can do, after all, she has Senior Brother Xie Yi protecting her..."
When Xie Yi was mentioned, no one dared to utter a sound.
The fear that Xie Yi had just instilled in them still lingered.
They didn't have the guts to provoke Xie Yi at all; even if they were dissatisfied, they could only keep it to themselves.
"Ugh, this is so frustrating!" Chu Yiyi clutched her head, feeling a bit frantic.
An Mingzhu saw everyone's resentment and discontent, then quickly lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes.
"Well... Chu Xia, maybe her childhood environment wasn't very good, but actually she's a good person at heart, really, please believe me!"
Seemingly eager to convince everyone, An Mingzhu missed a step while taking a step forward and stumbled. If Chu Shanwen hadn't caught her in time, she would have fallen.
"Don't worry, we all believe you!" Chu Shanwen looked at her with extremely gentle eyes. "Sigh, you're just too kind!"
Seeing this, the others all expressed their belief in her and told her not to rush and to be careful not to fall.
Naturally, An Mingzhu received another round of praise because of her kindness and naivety.
"Chu Xia is really not a bad person! How about this, I'll invite her to our party again! You'll see once you get to know her well!"
However, no one present wanted to be around Lin Chuxia, since they had just emerged from the fear that Xie Yi had instilled in them.
"Well... let's just forget about it. She just said she didn't want to participate, so there's no point in forcing her," someone said with a conflicted expression.
Chu Yiyi nodded in agreement: "That's right, Mingzhu, you always think of that bitch, but she's always plotting to harm you. Why bother with her anymore! So what if she's bad at socializing? It's her own choice, and it has nothing to do with us!"
This time, it was An Mingzhu who started it, saying that Lin Chuxia usually keeps to herself and studies all day long, and they were worried that she would get bored, so they came to invite her to go out and have fun with them.
