After the midterm exam, teachers at Deyan Middle School will choose different teaching schedules for students in different score ranges. Those who perform poorly will stay behind for remedial classes to improve their weak points, while strong students will stay behind to attend classes and tackle the last two most difficult questions in each subject.

Shen Zhao happened to be one of the students who had to stay behind to tackle the last two questions, but unlike other students who studied hard, she behaved unusually inattentively during class. She didn't listen much to the teacher, but she didn't do anything to disrupt class order. She just did other things during class, such as drawing medicinal materials on the textbook and recording the dosage that Mu Yanchen would need to improve later.

Earlier, most teachers would criticize Shen Zhao, but later when they found out that the small tests Shen Zhao completed could be used as reference answers, many teachers gave up the idea of ​​criticizing her, and they even started placing bets behind the scenes to see who would be the top scorer in their school's college entrance examination. Several teachers who had not been optimistic about Shen Zhao before bet half a month's salary on her.

Because students with different score ranges were divided for the final time, the original classes no longer existed. Lu Siming happened to be one of the excellent students, so he was naturally in the same class as Shen Zhao. However, his goal was not to take the college entrance examination, but to enter a foreign university. Compared with other students who were preparing for the college entrance examination, he and Shen Zhao were rare "free" people.

Unlike the atmosphere in ordinary classes, students in the super key classes were busy reviewing in the final stage. During the break, Lu Siming walked to Shen Zhao's side. He lowered his eyes and looked at the person he hadn't seen for a few days. He didn't know if he was overthinking it, but he always felt that she was a little different. She was a cold and aloof person before, but now she seemed to have added some popularity and charm. She was a bud about to bloom before, but now the petals have not yet opened, and gradually exudes an alluring fragrance.

Thinking of the day when he saw her pushing a man in a wheelchair, his eyes dimmed slightly, but it only flashed away, and soon, he turned back into that sunny boy.

Seeing that he was just looking at her without saying anything, Shen Zhao couldn't help but asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Siming was not shy either. He pulled the chair next to Shen Zhao and sat down. He tilted his head to look at her. At this time, the two of them were almost parallel, and Lu Siming was a little taller. "Do you know about Xu Yaoyao's family?"

After the graduation trip, a lot of things happened in Deyan Middle School. Because of Fang Cheng's revenge, Deyan Middle School's reputation in H City plummeted. The principal and directors were all anxiously looking for solutions, but there seemed to be an invisible hand controlling them. No matter how hard they tried, they all ended in failure. Finally, the principal had to adopt a cold treatment method and asked the teachers to focus on the senior students. He believed that as long as Deyan showed real results, the reputation would come back.

I have to say that the principal did put the right emphasis. Although parents had some prejudices against Deyan during this period, as long as the results came out, many parents still flocked to his school.

The market value of Xu Yaoyao's family's business has shrunk severely in just a few days, and it seems that it is on the verge of bankruptcy. Xu Yaoyao has returned to school recently, but her performance in the mid-term exam was not good, so she was transferred to the last class. In the past, due to family reasons, the school turned a blind eye and allowed her to stay in the key class, but now the school will no longer allow such a special existence as her.

It turned out that those classmates who only followed Xu Yaoyao's lead came over to add insult to injury, and all the prejudice and isolation in the school fell on Xu Yaoyao's head.

Xu Yaoyao was still thinking that sooner or later she would become the young lady of the Lu family. One day, she actually went to find Lu Siming. Lu Siming did not reject her. He found a deserted place and Xu Yaoyao tugged at Lu Siming's clothes and begged the Lu family to help them survive, otherwise their family would really go bankrupt. But that day, Xu Yaoyao truly saw what kind of person the heir of the Lu family was. She had only seen a glimpse of one part of him during the graduation trip.

Sunny, handsome, gentle, polite, and clear-headed are all his appearances. Inwardly, he is as cold, selfish, and vicious as other superiors. Xu Yaoyao looked at Lu Siming with eyes that grew colder and colder. He shook off her hand that was pulling at his clothes and patted it. He showed a hint of sneer, "A person like you is worthy of calling yourself the future young lady of the Lu family. How dare you flatter yourself? Do you deserve it?"

His words penetrated into Xu Yaoyao's blood like poison, and her body became colder and colder. She stared at the indifferent young man in front of her in a daze. Is this still the Lu Siming she knew? The heir of the Lu family who was active on the court, had excellent grades, was humble and polite to others, and kept a gentle voice to her, never showing any disgust.

She took a few steps back, keeping some distance from him, and shook her head in disbelief. "Impossible, are you lying to me? You are obviously interested in me. Everyone says that I will become the future young mistress of the Lu family. Everyone knows it clearly in their hearts. How could you be wrong!"

"Don't you know that seeing is believing? I advise you to shut up. Did your family offend someone?" Lu Siming asked her, but his mind flashed back to the man in the wheelchair, who was seriously ill and without a trace of life. "We at Lu's have an account book and never support those bad accounts. You should take care of yourself. Don't use my name to flatter yourself, otherwise your family will be retaliated by Lu's."

Lu Siming's warnings were like hallucinations. She watched him leave and burst into tears. Her tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the concrete floor, then disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, Xu Yaoyao truly realized what the next heir of the Lu family meant. Such a cold person was simply not something she could control. The young lady of the Lu family was just a beautiful fantasy. How could it be something that their Xu family could reach? It was simply a pipe dream.

Since that day, Xu Yaoyao seemed to have disappeared and had no sense of presence in the school. She no longer chased after Lu Siming, no longer paid attention to Lu Siming's news. She became calm and no longer as arrogant as before, as if she had become a different person.

Shen Zhao didn't know any of this. She shook her head at Lu Siming and asked, "What happened to their family?"

Lu Siming looked into her eyes, as if he wanted to see into her heart, but she remained cold and a little puzzled. Lu Siming suddenly smiled, and then said seriously: "Their family is not doing well recently, and their future development prospects are equivalent to nothing. It is still unknown whether they can support Xu Yaoyao to go to college."

Shen Zhao looked at him indifferently, "You seem a little happy?"

When Shen Zhao asked this, Lu Siming's originally serious expression suddenly froze on his face, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes, "Why do you ask that?"

Shen Zhao turned his head away and stopped looking at him. "Nothing special, just intuition, probably."

"Xu Yaoyao hurt you before, don't you feel relieved?"

Shen Zhao tidied up his desk and said expressionlessly, "I really don't feel anything. Evildoers will be punished by evildoers. After all, I am just a passer-by and will not have any intersection with her in the future. Why should I have such extreme emotions? At most, I can only sigh."

She checked the time and said, "I have to go home now."

Lu Siming watched Shen Zhao leave dimly. This girl was indeed different. As for how she was different, he couldn't tell for the moment, but her goal seemed to be more determined than before, and her inner strength seemed to be stronger.

Of course, Shen Zhao couldn't go home. She had to report to the old lady's house. As "Ai Ai", she also had to walk the dog.

She went out from the back door as usual. There were still several young men squatting at the entrance to the back street. But the difference today was that the leader named Ji Zhengxuan was not there. Shen Zhao, who did not want to be overly involved, did not make eye contact with those young men this time. She was about to walk past them, but some people refused to let her go.

"What's wrong?" Shen Zhao looked up at the golden-haired man standing in front of her.

There was no trace of cowardice in Shen Zhao's attitude, and it could be said that Shen Zhao's attitude was beyond Jinmao's expectations.

"Do you know where my brother is?" asked the Golden Retriever. "He's been gone for a day and I can't get in touch with him on his phone."

Shen Zhao suddenly found it funny, "Your own eldest brother doesn't care about you, but you actually ask me, someone you don't have much in common with?"

An inconspicuous young man followed behind and walked forward, "You may not know, but Mu Yanchen definitely knows."

The young man said firmly.

The golden-haired man made a hushing gesture, "Du Ren, do you want to die? That guy even our eldest brother..."

Du Ren did not give Jinmao a chance to say the rest. He placed his big hand on Jinmao's mouth and glared at Shen Zhao fiercely, which was totally inconsistent with his inconspicuous appearance. "Shen Zhao, even if you don't know, you can call Mu Yanchen. Don't you know Mu Yanchen's phone number? Then call him."

His tone was calm, but Shen Zhao could hear the implication that it could not be refused.

But she still wanted to provoke, "Tell me, what should I do after I call him? I don't know him well."

Du Ren showed sarcasm on his face, "We are all from the same family, so we are familiar with each other. I am giving face to Brother Xuan, so I won't touch you now, but it doesn't mean that," he stared at Shen Zhao dimly, spitting out his tongue like a poisonous snake, "I won't touch you in the future. If Mu Yanchen doesn't say anything, then don't blame me for doing anything to you!"

"Okay, what you have to do now is to call Mu Yanchen and ask where our Brother Xuan is!" he ordered.

Shen Zhao could tell that they had known about her relationship with Mu Yanchen from the beginning and had even followed her. From Du Ren's words, she could tell that they knew they lived together.

Several young men stood in front of her. Shen Zhao glanced at them coldly but did not argue with them. It was useless to waste words now. She took out her mobile phone, swiped the communication bar on the screen, found Mu Yanchen's phone number, and tapped it in front of Du Ren.

The call was connected quickly.

"Zhao Zhao." A deep voice sounded from the other end, "Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

Shen Zhao glanced at Du Ren, "Well... this is it, do you know someone named Ji Zhengxuan?"

When he answered the phone, Mu Yanchen was sitting under the window of the study facing the manor. Hearing Shen Zhao's words, he frowned, and something suddenly connected in his mind. He turned on the speakerphone and made a "hush" gesture to Situ Rui who was standing beside him.

Situ Rui was also secretly amazed after hearing this.

"I have a history with him."

Shen Zhao nodded, "Then do you know where he is now?"

Shen Zhao originally didn't want to reveal the fact that he went to Luhu Yajing, but now that things have developed like this, he had to think of the wording in advance.

"Who is next to you?"

Shen Zhao glanced at Du Ren and Jin Mao, "Maybe they are Ji Zhengxuan's men?"

Shen Zhao's words echoed in the study, and Situ Rui naturally heard them. When Mu Yanchen glanced at him, he quickly walked out of the study and made a phone call.

Soon, a message was sent to Mu Yanchen's mobile phone. Mu Yanchen raised his eyebrows when he saw the message. It was no wonder that he was a little surprised, because although he asked Situ Rui to find something for Ji Zhengxuan to do, it was obvious that someone was faster than them, and they became his scapegoats. Mu Yanchen's brows seemed to be frozen with frost. They were fighting among themselves but they blamed his girl, which was something he could not tolerate.

"Zhao Zhao," he said, "give the phone to the man named Du Ren."

Shen Zhao blinked, feeling that they all knew each other. After hesitating for a moment, he handed the phone to Du Ren.

Du Ren quickly took over, "Mr. Mu, long time no see, how are you?"

Mu Yanchen curled his lips. His voice reminded him of some past events. He said calmly, "If you wanted to find Ji Zhengxuan, you shouldn't have dragged Shen Zhao into this. This was the first wrong decision you made. The second wrong decision was your misjudgment. I guess Ji Zhengxuan is only a breath away from death. Instead of wasting time here with us, you might as well go find him and return the phone to Zhao Zhao."

Du Ren was filled with anger, and Shen Zhao could clearly see the bulging blue veins on his forehead, which looked hideous and terrifying.

He threw the phone to Shen Zhao, then took the golden retriever and said, "Let's go, it wasn't Mu Yanchen who did it!"

During the years of getting along with Mu Yanchen, Du Ren also saw through Mu Yanchen's character and would never admit anything unless he did it.

Shen Zhao watched Du Ren, Jinmao and other young people hurried away. She straightened the phone that had almost fallen to the ground and leaned over to ask, "Hey, are you still there?"

"Where are you, are you injured?"

Only then did Mu Yanchen reveal a hint of panic. Shen Zhao listened and realized that he was also worried about her, but after such an incident, some problems were unavoidable.

"They didn't do anything to me."

"Where are you?" Mu Yanchen asked again, this time more urgently. He put on his clothes and walked out of the villa. Situ Rui followed closely behind him.

"…In the back street of Deyan Middle School."

"Wait for me there, I'll come get you!"

"Don't bother me, I can go back by myself, please don't come..." His voice became smaller and smaller, without any momentum, and he couldn't refuse at all.

"Be good, okay? I'll be there soon."
