When Fu Xiuhan came in, he heard Zhang Ming spouting nonsense about Shi Qian having taken a liking to him.
He scoffed coldly, glancing at Zhang Ming from head to toe with disdain in his eyes.
I am the type that Shi Qian likes. Even if Shi Qian lost an eye, she would never be interested in Zhang Ming. I am not even in the same league as Zhang Ming. Shi Qian's aesthetic standards could not have dropped so drastically.
When Zhang Ming saw Fu Xiuhan appear in the office with an unfriendly tone, he immediately had a bad feeling.
He was actually a little afraid of Fu Xiuhan, after all, who here didn't know Fu Xiuhan's identity?
He had tried to get along with Fu Xiuhan, but Fu Xiuhan didn't even give him a glance.
Knowing that the two could no longer communicate, Zhang Ming avoided Fu Xiuhan whenever he saw him, so as not to upset Fu Xiuhan.
Zhang Ming never expected to run into the two of them here today. Seeing Fu Xiuhan's accusatory look, Zhang Ming felt something was amiss.
Fu Xiuhan was never one to meddle in other people's business. If he came to the office to see a teacher, he would never have started a conversation with them.
Besides, he had no reason to appear in the office. Usually, if there was anything, Fu Xiuhan would contact the principal directly, and someone would notify the teachers below.
His presence here suggests that the matter is definitely not directly related to him; most likely, he's standing up for someone else.
Fu Xiuhan doesn't speak easily, but since he has spoken, it means he intends to take charge of this matter.
Zhang Ming naturally knew that Fu Xiuhan couldn't possibly be here to help him, so there was only one possibility left.
They came to help Shi Qian.
Zhang Ming also learned a little about Fu Xiuhan and Shi Qian from the forum. Fu Xiuhan had rejected Shi Qian's confession several times, so logically there shouldn't be any relationship between them.
But Zhang Ming clearly saw the look in Fu Xiuhan's eyes when he first entered the room—concern, worry, and relief after realizing that everything was alright for the time being.
It seems that Shi Qian is not nothing to Fu Xiuhan.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ming broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly regretted coming to cause trouble for Shi Qian. Being beaten was nothing compared to being beaten, being bruised and swollen, having a broken hand or a broken leg.
Zhang Ming began to have second thoughts.
Seeing that Zhang Ming did not answer, Fu Xiuhan repeated the question, "Tell me, who has he taken a fancy to?"
Zhang Ming cautiously looked up to meet Fu Xiuhan's condescending gaze, his eyes extremely cold, as if Zhang Ming's life would end if he uttered a single wrong word.
Zhang Ming swallowed hard, telling himself that he couldn't back down now. He was in the right; he was the one who got beaten up, and he wasn't deliberately causing trouble for others like he used to.
Yes, he's here now, just trying to get justice for himself.
Zhang Ming mentally mustered his courage countless times before stammering, "He...he took a liking to...he took a liking to me, I rejected him, and he beat...beat me like this..."
There was no one else there that night, and no cameras were on the scene. Zhang Ming had to shift all possible blame onto Shi Qian and portray himself as the perfect victim.
Zhang Ming knew that although Fu Xiuhan didn't like to meddle in other people's business, he would never actively cause trouble for others. If he was in the right, Fu Xiuhan probably wouldn't make things difficult for him.
Fu Xiuhan laughed in anger upon hearing Zhang Ming's reply.
"You're saying Shi Qian has taken a liking to you? What does he like about you? Is it your height and weight of 1.6 meters and 200 pounds, or your bald head at such a young age, or your face that looks like it's been run over by a car?"
"Besides, how could he beat you up like this? You're as big as a cannonball, how could he possibly take you down?"
Zhang Ming knew he wasn't good-looking and his physical appearance wasn't good either, but knowing it himself and hearing it from others were two different things, especially coming from Fu Xiuhan.
Normally at school, no one dares to mention these things in front of him. Rich people look down on him and don't bother with him, while good students only want to study and don't even look at him.
But even if no one said anything, Zhang Ming was still insecure. He felt that anyone who glanced at him would laugh at him behind his back. So Zhang Ming would always pick on those who were easy to bully and cause trouble for no reason.
He was exactly 1.7 meters tall and wanted to correct Fu Xiuhan's words, but at this moment, correcting such an unimportant point amidst a string of negative reviews seemed a bit redundant.
Actually, he had also suspected that Shi Qian had beaten him that night, after all, he couldn't quite believe that he could be beaten like that by a skinny guy.
However, he quickly dismissed his idea, because who else but Shi Qian would know where he was?
He dared not refute Fu Xiuhan's words, because they were all facts that could be seen, nor did he dare to get angry with Fu Xiuhan to his face, because he could not suppress Fu Xiuhan.
Zhang Ming's face was flushed red with shame and anger, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into and escape immediately.
He glared at Shi Qian beside him, trying his best to make amends.
"He...he just wants my money because I'm rich!"
Zhang Ming was going all out; he couldn't afford to lose face today, especially since he was the victim in this whole affair!
Everyone at the school knew that Shi Qian was a poor relative of the Shi family. He was admitted to the school through an exception because of his good relationship with Shi Yan. That's right, Zhang Ming told himself, just seize this opportunity!
Fu Xiuhan was even more displeased upon hearing this. After being surrounded that night, he believed that he and Shi Qian had become sworn brothers and could not bear to hear anyone speak ill of Shi Qian.
Is it really about money? Is there anyone here richer than him? Why would Shi Qian be after someone else's money?
