"Yan Yan, did your second aunt misunderstand your relationship with Qin Sheng?" Ning Yutong asked somewhat absentmindedly after a while.
Qin Sheng and Qin Yanshu are respectively the school's recognized beauty goddess and the proud daughter of the Qin family. Although they are in the same class, they rarely interact and have never even exchanged a few words.
Why did Qin Yanshu's second aunt stand up for Qin Sheng?
There must be a mistake!
Qin Yanshu also wanted to believe that Gu Yueming had made a mistake, but a voice in her heart told her that it wasn't like that.
Gu Yueming was indeed good to her, but she was always more polite than affectionate. Even Qin Yanshu had never seen Gu Yueming so nervous.
Qin Yanshu's gaze swept across Gu Yueming and Qin Sheng's faces, and suddenly, her gaze sharpened.
These two... how come they look so alike?
A strange sense of panic spread through her. Before she could figure it out, Qin Yanshu had already subconsciously run a few steps forward and reached out to take Gu Yueming's arm.
"Second Aunt, why didn't you tell me you were coming to school? Why did you come here?" Qin Yanshu tilted her head and looked at Gu Yueming with a sweet and obedient smile.
Gu Yueming then noticed that Qin Yanshu was also there. She reluctantly shifted her gaze from Qin Sheng and smiled at Qin Yanshu: "Second Aunt was just passing by and stopped in to take a look. I didn't expect to run into someone bullying...this classmate."
Qin Yanshu smiled a little shyly: "It's really troublesome for my second aunt to stand up for my classmate."
Qin Sheng emphasized the words "my classmate" slightly, then looked up at her, just as Qin Yanshu was also looking at her.
The smile, well, carried a subtle hint of hostility and provocation.
Qin Sheng chuckled lightly and looked away.
Then Qin Yanshu continued, "But Second Aunt is probably helping the wrong person this time. Qin Sheng is a very good fighter. She's famous throughout our school. Chen Kai and his gang are no match for her at all."
Qin Yanshu thought that Gu Yueming would show some displeasure, but to her surprise, Gu Yueming's eyes lit up as soon as she finished speaking.
She grabbed Qin Sheng's hand: "Qin Sheng, you're really good at fighting! To be honest, I loved fighting when I was young too. Do you have time? We can have a friendly spar!"
Qin Sheng glanced at Gu Yueming and pursed her lips: "Okay."
Gu Yueming's eyes lit up even more: "How about today? I'll pick you up after school!"
Qin Sheng: "...Okay."
Qin Yanshu's smile gradually cracked: ...Why did things turn out so differently from what she expected?
She took a deep breath and smiled again: "Second Aunt, Qin Sheng might be a bit busy lately. Inviting her so suddenly might cause her some trouble."
Gu Yueming's heart tightened, and she immediately looked at Qin Sheng: "Is...is that so?"
Before Qin Sheng could speak, Ning Yutong, who had already vaguely grasped Qin Yanshu's meaning, spoke up first.
"Of course that's how it is. Qin just failed to seduce her younger brother and was kicked out of her home. She's probably homeless now and is busy trying to make amends for her mistake!" Ning Yutong said, her words filled with undisguised sarcasm.
Then she looked at Gu Yueming with a fawning smile: "Auntie, you don't know, Qin Sheng is not only bad at studying and loves to fight and cause trouble, but she also flirts with boys everywhere because she's good-looking. Don't be fooled by her..."
Ning Yutong's voice gradually faded. Looking at Gu Yueming's brows and eyes, which had darkened at some point, she involuntarily took a step back.
"Aunt...Aunt, what's wrong?" Ning Yutong asked, forcing a smile.
Gu Yueming's voice was as somber as her expression: "A young girl like you, always talking about seduction and flirting, is this how your family raised you?"
Ning Yutong's face turned pale: "No...it's not like that..."
She couldn't quite put her finger on what "like this" meant, so she could only look at Qin Yanshu for help.
Qin Yanshu was extremely annoyed, but Ning Yutong was still one of her people, and she couldn't just ignore her in front of so many people.
So she shook Gu Yueming's sleeve and softened her voice, saying, "Second Aunt, Yutong just spoke too quickly and didn't mean any harm. Besides, she was misled."
Facing Qin Yanshu, Gu Yueming's expression improved slightly, but not by much. She sneered, "Being quick-witted is not a reason to hurt others. Everyone must bear the consequences of their words."
"Apologize!" The two words were spoken decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Second Aunt..."
Qin Yanshu wanted to plead for mercy, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Gu Yueming swept over with a clearly displeased look. Her expression changed, and in the end, she obediently shut her mouth.
Forget it, it's just a matter of Ning Yutong apologizing. It's not a big deal, and it's not worth making Gu Yueming angry over it.
She winked at Ning Yutong, signaling her to do as she was told.
Ning Yutong's face turned pale and then red. In front of so many students, she naturally didn't want to apologize, but she knew even better that the Qin family, especially the second branch of the Qin family, was definitely not someone she could afford to offend...
She couldn't help but look at Qin Sheng, hoping that she would take the initiative to let the matter drop, but the other party's gaze was cold and indifferent.
Ning Yutong cursed Qin Sheng inwardly for being tactless, but she bent down slightly and said in a humiliated voice, "I'm sorry."
Qin Sheng said "Oh" and laughed, "I didn't hear it."
Ning Yutong: "..."
"I'm sorry!" she shouted, veins bulging on her face.

Upon hearing the news, the dean of students from No. 1 High School rushed over and finally dispersed the students who had come to watch the commotion. Only then did he wipe the sweat from his forehead and walk up to Gu Yueming.
