In the car, Fu Lin handed Ruan Chen a large bag of things, with a fawning smile on his face.
“Ruan Chen, these are all things that Jian Zhi is used to using. You can take them back to him. He can cook and do housework by himself. Don’t spoil him. If you need to ask him to do something, just treat him like family.”
Ruan Chen reached out and took it, hugging it to his chest. "Don't worry, Uncle, I will treat Jian Zhi like my own younger brother."
That's not what Fu Lin actually meant.
He had a hesitant expression on his face, knowing that both children were minors, and that his thoughts were simply not something to be discussed openly.
With a helpless wave of his hand, he gave up.
He instructed the driver to take Ruan Chen home, and Ruan Chen began to doze off halfway there.
Fu Lin turned his head to look at her. Ruan Chen was sleeping soundly. The faint chill that had been emanating from her body had completely disappeared, and she was as delicate and soft as a rose about to bloom.
When they arrived at the apartment building, the driver wanted to help Ruan Chen carry her things up, but Fu Lin stopped him.
"I'll do it."
Ruan Chen rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and got out of the car. She casually straightened her slightly disheveled collar, took her schoolbag out of the car, and hung it on her shoulder.
Fu Lin got out of the car from the other side, personally carrying the things his brother Fu Jianzhi had brought. "Ruan Chen, is it convenient for me to take you upstairs? I can also check what that kid is up to."
"Thank you for your help, Uncle."
Ruan Chen always appeared sensible and polite in front of Fu Lin.
Fu Lin followed Ruan Chen into the apartment building and waited for the elevator.
A taxi not far away rolled down its window, and Zeng Han held out her phone, pointing it at the two of them.
She even came up with captions for every single photo.
Her favorite picture is one of the middle-aged men standing to the side of Ruan Chen, waiting for her to walk over. Because of the perspective, the two look very intimate. Ruan Chen leans slightly towards the middle-aged man, but in reality, they are still quite a distance apart.
But that's not important; that's what generates buzz.
The day before the exam, Zeng Han suddenly entered the classroom and confiscated everyone's cell phones.
Ruan Chen's phone was full of random stuff. Although she had backed it up, it was still a problem if some of the content was seen by unrelated people. But she was too lazy to argue with Zeng Han, so she encrypted it twice, turned off the phone, and put it in the box that Zeng Han was holding.
Zeng Han didn't send out her phone during her lunch break.
Some people who urgently needed a mobile phone went to ask Zeng Han for one, but returned empty-handed.
Zeng Han's response was that this monthly exam was a city-wide joint exam, and the answers from the neighboring high school were leaked last night. To prevent anyone from using their mobile phones to pass on the answers today, the phones would not be distributed until after the exam.
During lunch break, Ruan Chen took out her tablet. Just as she turned it on, Zeng Han walked in from outside in her high heels and said to Ruan Chen with a forced smile, "Please hand in all your electronic devices. The same goes for the other students."
It's not clear that she's deliberately targeting Ruan Chen.
Ruan Chen was a little annoyed, but she still handed it in.
She had a premonition that after the cheating scandal passed and Zeng Han behaved himself for more than half a month, it seemed he was about to relapse and start causing trouble for her again.
After the last exam, Zeng Han called everyone up to collect their belongings one by one, and Ruan Chen was the last one.
Yu Xiaoya waited outside for her to walk a short distance together. When she saw Ruan Chen take her phone, her expression darkened, and she asked Zeng Han in a less than friendly tone, "Did you touch my phone?"
At that time, there were still a few students left in the class, and they were quietly discussing the answers in small groups of three or five.
Hearing Ruan Chen's angry question, everyone looked up at the podium in unison.
After the cheating scandal, the previous discussions about Ruan Chen in the class disappeared, after all, she really has the ability.
Zeng Han put Ruan Chen's things on the teacher's desk and was about to leave when she said, "I haven't touched your things at all. Ruan Chen, I've seen that you've been behaving well lately, so I hope you won't cause any trouble."
Ruan Chen pressed the power button, but there was no response.
Moreover, it is significantly lighter.
"When I handed you my phone this morning, I turned it off under the camera. Why can't I even turn it on now?" Ruan Chen questioned coldly.
Zeng Han reached out and pushed Ruan Chen away, her words sharp but her tone weak, "How would the teacher know what's wrong with your phone? Ruan Chen, don't go looking for trouble!"
But she didn't budge Ruan Chen at all. Ruan Chen reached out and took his tablet and computer, then turned them on.
There was still no response.
She was really angry this time; her hand was trembling slightly as she pressed the power button on the computer.
Although she has backed up all her data in the cloud, buying a new machine and setting it up would be a waste of time for her.
It's already October, and the final draft for the global invention competition needs to be finalized by early December. It's really urgent.
She didn't even want to call him "teacher" anymore, and asked directly, "Zeng Han, what a coincidence that all my things turned into bricks after just one day here?"
"It has nothing to do with me, I had no idea! Who knows if your stuff was broken to begin with, and you're trying to frame me by leaving it here?"
Ruan Chen was so angry she laughed.
She had an online meeting with Lin Fengzi tonight, and after 10 PM, she also had things to discuss with Tao Ran after he finished work. She needed to have the copyright buyout contract with FANtY company reviewed by a lawyer again, and she didn't know what was happening at home with Fu Jianzhi. She was sure she'd worry if she couldn't reach her grandfather...
A whole bunch of messy things came rushing at him, and Ruan Chen's eyes...
Zeng Han saw an opening, squeezed past Ruan Chen and headed towards the door to leave, but was stopped by Yu Xiaoya who was blocking the doorway.
"Yu Xiaoya, why are you following Ruan Chen's nonsense too?"
Yu Xiaoya leaned against the door, bracing one foot against the doorframe, firmly blocking Zeng Han's way. "Teacher, Ruan Chen's things are all quite expensive. The three items together are enough to buy half of your house. You really can't leave until things are cleared up."
Zeng Han tried to go to the back door, but a classmate had already locked it shut.
No one spoke, but everyone knew that Zeng Han had always disliked Ruan Chen, and it was hard to say that it wasn't intentional revenge.
Ruan Chen looked at Bo Nian—she didn't have many friends in this class—and said, "Bo Nian, can I borrow your phone?"
Bo Nian handed it over without thinking.
Zeng Han thought Ruan Chen was going to call the police. "Ruan Chen, so what if the police come? Do you have any evidence to prove that I touched your things?"
“Don’t panic, I won’t call the police,” Ruan Chen called Xu Xiaolan. “I can’t let the police car drive into No. 1 Middle School twice in just over a month.”
She added coldly to herself that if the matter were simply resolved by calling the police, it would be too lenient on a piece of trash like Zeng Han, who was supposed to be a teacher but was actually a hypocrite.
"Sister Lan, I'm in a bit of trouble. Could you come to No. 1 Middle School and help me disassemble the machine for an inspection?"
"Yes, now. Thank you, Sister Lan."
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Chen was about to return the phone to Bo Nian when she saw a trending topic pop up in the notification box at the top of his phone.
[Shocking! A seemingly innocent high school girl and the CEO of a listed company have an unspeakable secret?]
The small picture on the side clearly shows a scene of myself with Fu Lin yesterday!
