Early in the morning, Lian Han finished washing up and was eating breakfast made by the housekeeping robot when she heard a rapid knocking on the door.
"Master, it's Miss Jingyuan."
"Open the door." Lian Han was surprised. This girl always arrived at the classroom on time. Why was she here so early today?
As soon as the door opened, Zong Jingyuan rushed in, followed by An He.
"What's wrong?"
"Goddess, quickly check the school forum!" Zong Jingyuan's expression was not good.
Forum? Lian Han clicked on the smart device in confusion, then his face darkened.
The young man invited the girl to ride in his car, and the two of them, laughing, got into a luxury car that many people can only dream of in their lifetime, behaving intimately.
The girl was scammed, but she generously paid the money she was owed. Then she turned around and thanked the sunny senior, saying mysteriously, "See you again sometime," in an ambiguous tone.
The young man and the girl met at a banquet. The girl was alluringly made up and looked at him with a cold expression, but she was smiling and talking to her companions. The young man looked hurt. After hesitating, he put his coat on her shoulders before she disappeared and then fled.
What a heartbroken sight!
The text next to it included the date and clearly revealed the girl's background. It then implied that she was a gold digger and two-timing, practically labeling her a "scumbag."
"Ha!" Three videos: one showing Ling Ze picking her up from school, one showing him going to the Mecha Academy to find Xing Yan that day, and the last one from last night.
What's wrong with her cousin and his close behavior? And that senior, she just thought he had a nice voice and a kind heart, so she said a few words, how did that become ambiguous? As for last night's heartbreak—looking at the unanimous condemnation below, the chill intensified.
Thinking of how furious Ling Ze was, yet he was prevented from revealing the truth, she felt even more guilty and depressed.
Lian Han stood up with a cold laugh, "You guys eat, I'm going to change my clothes."
"Change clothes?" Zong Jingyuan was taken aback. Would a normal person react like that?
Anhe spoke softly, "I sensed murderous intent."
Whether Lian Han resolves the matter himself or the Ling family intervenes, she feels quite sorry for those who court death.
"Will this cause trouble?" Yozakura asked after watching the video as well.
Instead of answering, Anhe asked, "Do you think Xiaohan would do such a thing?"
"My goddess is so beautiful, how could that Ling Ze possibly be worthy of her? He must be the one relentlessly pursuing her!"
Anhe: ...Zong Jingyuan's built-in filter function is truly something else.
“Xiao Han isn’t that kind of person,” Ye Ying said, her voice soft but her tone firm.
"Why not? We all saw it with our own eyes yesterday."
“No way!” Ye Ying retorted. “Xiao Han is kind, a good person, and thoughtful. How could she do such a thing? Besides—she wouldn’t be in a relationship so early.”
"...Only the last one is the reason, right?" Anhe said, embarrassed. Indeed, how could a study fanatic have room for anything other than studying?
"Have you finished eating?" The door opened and Lian Han came out.
The three of them turned to look, then fell silent in unison. This was too much...
"We're done eating. Let's go."
"Hey? Wait for us."
Seeing her leave the room, the three women, snapping out of their daze, quickly followed...
Meanwhile, Ling Ze was enduring his brother's death stare on the SkyNet, and finally broke down under the pressure. "Why are you stopping me? Can't I just go find the person who took the photos right now?" He could just test his rights as a hacker from the Divine Alliance!
"Wait," Ling Yue said coldly. "I've already asked for leave for you. Just wait here today."
"Why? My sister is being talked about right now, she must be very upset, that's exactly what she needs us..." Suddenly remembering Lian Han's words that day, Ling Ze's face turned pale, and he looked listless. "This is my fault, I can't cause her any more trouble."
“She’s right. Although she’s still a child, her past experiences have certainly made her self-reliant.” Ling Yue wasn’t nervous at all in front of her younger brother, who had been bullied since childhood. She spoke clearly and logically. “She’s so strong-willed. She just turned against us. If we help her now, or expose our relationship, things will only get worse. You can investigate, but you should see how she handles it first.”
"So you're just going to watch it like this?"
"If we can't solve it, we'll give Anhe Lance information about who's behind this. She'll step in to protect them; that's better than us."
Ling Ze pursed his lips. Why should his own sister be protected by someone else? He couldn't shake the feeling of unease.
"The investigation will be done tomorrow. You can stay here today," Ling Yue said calmly, having seen through his thoughts.
...
Han Ningshu, the class advisor, walked to the classroom on time. The New Year had just passed, and it should have been a lively time, but the students were quieter than usual today.
But when he stepped into the classroom, he knew why.
Lian Han was still the same Lian Han, except that she was wearing a black suit today. Her aura was so strong that it made people forget about her appearance. She was cold and domineering, like an ice queen.
Thinking of the forum he'd seen that morning, Han Ningshu knew the other person was in a bad mood. He didn't waste any words on the person who'd previously used Lizka to beat and threaten him. "Ahem, everyone's here, very good. The class challenge will begin in a week, everyone get ready. If you're kicked out of the elite class, the points system will be shut down."
"Has the mentor finished speaking?" As soon as Han Ningshu stopped speaking, Lian Han spoke up. The girl's originally silvery voice now sounded murderous.
"The new schedule is ready. Classes will begin on time this afternoon. get out of class dismissed now."
"Um."
Seeing her leave straight away, followed by three tails, clearly looking for trouble, Han Ning asked, "Where are you going?"
"Mecha Academy," Zong Jingyuan replied, then noticed they had walked away and quickly chased after them, calling out, "Goddess, wait for me!"
