He came looking for Ruan Chen.
The teacher asked everyone to pair up as dance partners. Yu Xiaoya was assigned a partner by her family. All the students knew that Yu Xiaoya was the tagalong of Chen Mohan, a poor student. Even though Yu Xiaoya had a dance partner, no one dared to ask Chen Mohan to dance.
Coincidentally, everyone knew that Yu Xiaoya and Ruan Chen didn't seem to get along, so they tacitly left her out in the cold as well.
Chen Mohan simply agreed with Ruan Chen to attend the social dance party as each other's dance partners.
When Chen Mohan said this, the surrounding classmates suddenly realized.
"Isn't this our new school beauty? We've had her advertised on the school website all summer."
"What a disappointment! I thought she was some kind of goddess-level school beauty, but she's just average. Hitting her own sister is one thing, but touching other people's things is another. She has no manners!"
"To be honest, she's not as pretty as her sister. Look at the little girl, she's so cute and pitiful. She's only thirteen. What will she be like when she grows up?"
"My sister can reserve her spot as the campus goddess, I told you so!"
Ruan Yun was so angry she couldn't say a word. She lifted her skirt and walked out, not caring what these people said. Anyway, under the spotlight, there would definitely be plenty of people falling at her feet!
"Wait a minute, student." The teacher stopped her. "Are you here to give a freshman presentation?"
"Yes, teacher." Ruan Yunhan forced a flattering smile.
The teacher said coldly, "Given your performance, you don't need to participate in the freshman presentation. Our Huating Academy cannot allow a student like you to be a freshman representative!"
Ruan Yun sneered, raising her chin. "Do you know who I am? My dad is one of your school's biggest sponsors! What right do you have to stop me from going on stage? My dad only needs to say one word to make you lose this job!"
The teacher didn't seem to care and walked straight outside, leaving behind the words, "Then let Mr. Ruan come and talk to me in person."
"Hello, Principal."
"Take care, Principal."
Some of the bolder girls even stepped out of the crowd and said to the teacher, "Principal, you're so nice! I love you!"
"The principal is so cool!"
This unassuming teacher is actually the principal of Huating Academy!
Her grand appearance, which she had been planning for almost two months, was ruined. Ruan Yunhan lowered her voice and said to Ruan Chen, "You just wait until you get home tonight!"
Then she gave Chen Mohan a deep look, "Looks like you're a poor student who got in on a scholarship, right? I advise you to stay away from that plague, or you'll regret it!"

Hillside villa.
Ruan Chen was in a good mood. Wearing the pretty little dress that Ye Huanhuan had picked out for her, she hummed a song as she went to open the door.
"Ruan Chen!"
Ruan Luo grabbed her.
Ever since Ruan Luo was beaten before winter break because Ruan Chen complained about her, the two have barely spoken and have been in a stiff, cold war.
With Ruan Yunhan as a comparison, Ruan Chen now realizes that Ruan Luo is actually a spoiled child with no guile, after all, his greatest revenge is just a cold war.
So Ruan Chen generously replied, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Yu'er was also behind him, looking furtive.
Ruan Luo lowered her voice, "You need to be careful! A woman came to the house. After my mom saw her, she let my sister and me come out to play. I heard you gave Ruan Yunhan a hard time tonight, so I guess they're going to deal with you!"
Ruan Yu'er blinked her big eyes and chimed in, "Sister, that woman is so beautiful! She might be a mistress too!"
Hearing Ruan Yu'er's words, Ruan Luo's face flashed with embarrassment, and she slapped Ruan Yu'er, "Go play somewhere else!"
“I overheard that’s Ruan Qin and Ruan Yunhan’s biological mother, Yu Wanqing. There was a fight in the house just now, and my sister and I wanted to go in to see what was going on, but the nanny stopped us! I also heard my mother crying,” Ruan Luo said, looking at Ruan Chen. “Ruan Chen, my mother is good to you, so you have to protect her if anything happens.”
Ruan Chen had a pretty good idea of what was going on, and nodded lightly, "Don't worry, she's my mom too."
“And…” Ruan Luo hesitated for a moment, then extended a hand, “What happened before was my fault… My mom told me that Auntie is a good person… and so are you. Um… I’m sorry.”
Ruan Chen's heart stirred, as if the ice in his heart had melted away.
Ruan Luo's face was already red.
She smiled, reached out and shook his hand, and whispered, "Thank you...brother."
She nimbly opened the door, and Ruan Luo anxiously warned, "You must be careful, that woman is definitely not a good person."
"Don't worry..." Ruan Chen suddenly pushed open the door, her low laughter drowned out by the sound of the door opening, "I'm not someone to be trifled with."
The people in the hall already knew that Ruan Chen had returned, and they looked towards the door.
Ruan Chen casually glanced around the room. Ye Huanhuan's eyes were swollen from crying again. Ruan Qin and Ruan Yunhan sat next to a woman with an elegant demeanor, while Ruan Zhengde sat in the main seat, looking at him coldly with an expression that seemed to be asking questions.
That woman must be Yu Wanqing, Ruan Zhengde's beloved first love, an artist.
Ruan Chen greeted them casually, "Hello, Mom and Dad, hello, older brother and sister, hello, Auntie, I'm going upstairs now."
"stop!"
Before Ruan Zhengde could speak, Ruan Qin couldn't sit still any longer and shouted angrily, "You made Yunhan suffer such a great injustice today, are you just going to pretend nothing happened?"
Ruan Chen walked over, then suddenly realized, "No wonder you were so serious, so this is what it's about. Ruan Qin, are you really determined to get an explanation for this?"
"Yunhan lost her right to speak as a representative of the new students because of you. Do you think the Ruan family will pretend this never happened?"
Ruan Zhengde remained silent, clearly acquiescing to his son's actions.
Ruan Chen smiled and said, "I originally planned to pretend that nothing happened, but since you insist on seeking justice for your sister again, it would be unreasonable for me not to grant your request."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ruan Chen swung his arm and slapped Ruan Yunhan hard across the face!
Ruan Yunhan collapsed onto the sofa, half of her face burning with pain.
No one present expected that Ruan Chen would dare to slap Ruan Yunhan in front of Ruan Zhengde and Ruan Qin.
Ruan Chen waved her hand and looked innocently at Ruan Qin, "Alright, she slapped me, so I slapped her back. We're even. Brother Ruan Qin, you're such a kind person. I remember last time when Sister Yunhan fell down the stairs, you were the one who demanded justice. Is there anything else?"
Ruan Yunhan cried and trembled, grabbing Yu Wanqing's arm, "Mom, you saw it! How I was bullied by this lowly wretch in the Ruan family!"
When Yu Wanqing saw her pampered and spoiled daughter being slapped so hard in front of her, she raised her sharp nails and swung them at Ruan Chen's face!
Ruan Chen never expected that this woman would try to disfigure her without saying a word!
She leaned back to avoid it, but a bloody scratch still appeared on her face from the diamond fragments on Yu Wanqing's fingernails.
Ruan Chen's long-suppressed resentment suddenly exploded.
She grabbed Yu Wanqing's wrist with her other hand and slammed it heavily onto the table.
Ruan Chen pulled out a fruit knife from the side of the fruit plate with her other hand, pressed it against the pale blue vein on Yu Wanqing's wrist, gritted her teeth and smiled, looking directly into her eyes, "Auntie, I think your hands must never have been stained with blood."
