The car arrived at the front gate of the school.

Across the road, Jiang Yining saw Chen Qinglian standing in front of the food delivery cart. Next to her was a very eye-catching glowing sign — In order to atone for my sins, I will give all students free breakfast for a month!

She no longer had luxurious clothes and an arrogant attitude.

She was dressed plainly and stood there with a reserved and awkward expression.

The students surrounded her curiously and pointed at her. From time to time, they would even pick up their phones and take photos of her.

Lu Zhi said, “Ah Man, remember to get someone to keep an eye on her every day.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Sitting in the co-drivers seat, Ah Man replied.

Jiang Yining secretly gave a thumbs-up.

It was awesome!

When Lu Zhi got serious, he did not care about family ties.

However, she really liked his personality.

“The matter of framing you is written off.” Lu Zhi looked at her and said calmly.

“Mhm!”

Jiang Yining couldn’t hide the smile in her eyes.

Lu Zhi looked at her for two seconds and said, “Go to class.”

“Okay, Hubby. Bye!”

Jiang Yining jumped out of the car and ran forward quickly.

The car was silent.

Ah Man stole a glance at her boss. Seeing that he didn’t give any orders, she didn’t dare to breathe.

After a long while —

“Drive,” Lu Zhi said.

When Jiang Yining walked into the classroom, the commotion instantly disappeared without a trace.

She knew what was going on.

However, she did not respond. She walked to her seat, sat down, and began to read quietly.

The students looked at each other.

After holding it in for about five to six minutes, a girl walked up to Jiang Yining and said, “Are you alright? I’ve read all the posts on the school forum. Ignore those silly people.”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

Jiang Yining looked very calm.

This reaction was rather unusual, and the girl admired her.

Being slandered for seducing a married man was a huge blow to many girls.

If it were her, she would have cried her eyes out and no longer had the face to live.

For Jiang Yining to be able to face it so calmly, her heart was really strong!

“Hello, my name is Ye Xiaoxi. We are classmates.” Ye Xiaoxi reached out her hand in a friendly manner.

Jiang Yining’s gaze finally shifted from the textbook to the face of the girl beside her.

She had a round, apple-like face, and her eyebrows were delicate and sweet.

She looked pretty good.

However, she was never used to making friends. Lin Yan was her only good friend since she was young.

She would only feel uncomfortable with the warmth and closeness of others.

“Yes, hello.”

Jiang Yining’s reply was rather cold.

Ye Xiaoxi did not mind and continued to chat with her.

She only quieted down when the bell rang.

In the afternoon, there was a volleyball class.

All the students had changed their outfits. The teacher divided them into groups and asked them to rehearse in pairs after the demonstration.

Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi happened to be in the same group.

Ye Xiaoxi jumped around happily and said, “We’re really fated to be in the same group.”

Jiang Yining was speechless.

There were only 30 students in the class, and the total number of girls was 10. The girls were grouped with the girls, and the boys were grouped with the boys.

A one in five chance, how could this be considered fate?

However, Ye Xiaoxi did not care.

She happily rehearsed with Jiang Yining.

After the PE class was finally over, Jiang Yining walked to the edge of the grass and grabbed a bottle of water, intending to drink it.

However, she saw a middle-aged man holding Ye Xiaoxi’s hand and pestering her.

Jiang Yining’s hand paused, but she was not in a hurry to help.

However, her gaze never left.

“Get lost. I told you, I don’t have money! If you want money from someone, go ask that woman! I have nothing to do with her anymore!”

“Heh, you two are biological mother and daughter. Your mother took you as collateral. According to the contract, you must marry me! Let’s go, you have to go back with me today!”

“If you don’t let go, I’ll call the police!”

“Go ahead. If you call the police, I’ll blow this matter up and let everyone in Qing University know that your mother is a gambler! Drug addict! Let’s see how you can continue staying in this school!”

Ye Xiaoxi blushed when she heard this.

The man took advantage of the situation and hugged her, opening his mouth to kiss her.

“Get lost!”

Ye Xiaoxi shouted in despair, trying to avoid his intimacy.

However, the man was not afraid at all. Instead, his eyes revealed a faint excitement.

He forcefully cupped Ye Xiaoxi’s face and was about to kiss her.

But at this moment, someone kicked him hard.
