nThe person who spoke was not on Li Hanlei’s and Xue Yao’s side. She was well-behaved and cute. It was obvious that she did not have any ill intentions when she said this. There was even a hint of negotiation in her words, but Xue Xi still felt displeased. She instinctively said, “No.”

n

n

nShe was stunned by this word.

n

n

n

n

nXue Xi had had a cold personality since she was young and did not pursue material things. In the orphanage, she did not care if her friends snatched her toys. The only time she was unhappy was when someone else snatched her textbooks and prevented her from learning.

n

n

nNow, this unhappiness seemed to have crept in.

n

n

nShe then recalled that if she were to introduce Xiang Huai to her and he addressed her as “little kid” like he did Xue Xi, her displeasure would be even greater.

n

n

n“Why?” the student asked curiously.

n

n

n

n

n“Because if I leave him, I will die.”

n

n

n“…”

n

n

nThe classroom fell silent again. After a moment, the student sighed. “So you like him that much, but you don’t have any money. Will he still follow you?”

n

n

nXue Xi was not bothered by this. “I have money.”

n

n

n

n

nNow that she thought about it, though, it seemed that she had not given Xiang Huai money for a long time. That guy did not ask for it either. Was he embarrassed? Forget it, remember to give him some tomorrow.

n

n

nOtherwise, he would really be snatched away…

n

n

nWhen this last sentence popped in her head, Xue Xi subconsciously added in her heart: No one else will date me if he is snatched away.

n

n

nQin Shuang looked at her worriedly and asked secretly, “Sister Xi, are you really broke?”

n

n

nXue Xi replied slowly, “It’s not too bad.”

n

n

nShe then lowered her head and continued to read and study.

n

n

n

n

nQin Shuang wanted to say something, but when she thought of her own financial situation, she sighed and shut her mouth.

n

n

nAt this moment, in the group chat.

n

n

nFlame Number One had already started sending messages: “Little Shuang, I have some money here. Can you think of a way to use it for Sister Xi?”

n

n

nFire Seedlings, 1, 1, 1, 1, and 1 came one after another. He actually managed to gather ten thousand yuan and transferred it to Qin Shuang for her to hand to Xue Xi.

n

n

nHowever, when Qin Shuang mentioned it after class, Xue Xi rejected the money and said seriously, “I’m really rich.”

n

n

nQin Shuang thought for a while and replied in the group chat: “Sister Xi said that she has money. Give it back to everyone. Didn’t Sister Xi just receive a scholarship? She shouldn’t be so poor that she can’t even afford food.”

n

n

nAfter sending this message, a private message suddenly appeared.

n

n

nGao Yanchen: “Don’t mention her lack of money in the group. That could hurt one’s pride. Watch more. If she doesn’t have money, make a sound.”

n

n

n

n

nQin Shuang looked at that message and wondered if she had seen wrongly.

n

n

nGao Yanchen actually cares about others? The sun will rise from the west!

n

n

n…

n

n

nIn the provision store.

n

n

nLu Chao was paying attention to the forum in the school.

n

n

nThe moment this post was out, Lu Chao was stunned. “Boss, I remember that the second wife of the Xue family was cheated, right? How did she suddenly become the first wife?”

n

n

nXiang Huai stared at the post for a while before glancing at Lu Chao. “Go and investigate.”

n

n

nA number of the lawyers knew about Xue Sheng’s handling of the notary, and the police had also changed their files. The person who had been cheated had changed from Xue Gui to Xue Sheng, making it easier for them to contact him after they had received the news.

n

n

nHence, Lu Chao quickly found out the whole story. In the end, he sighed. “Sister Xi’s father is too generous, isn’t he? He actually helped them fill a hole that’s in the tens of millions? If it weren’t for us, that money would’ve really be gone!”

n

n

nXiang Huai said coldly, “What are you waiting for?”

n

n

nLu Chao: “?”

n

n

nXiang Huai: “Inform them that the criminals have been caught and the money can be returned.”

n

n

n“…Yes.”

n

n

n

n

n…

n

n

nDuring the lesson, Xue Xi and Qin Shuang went to the washroom. When they entered the cubicle, they heard Li Hanlei and Xue Yao’s voices coming from outside.

n

n

nLi Hanlei said, “Yaoyao, I heard before that the Xue family was founded under the leadership of Xue Xi’s father. But if he was cheated so badly, what kind of intelligence did Xue Xi’s father actually have that he could build up the Xue family? It must actually be your father who does all the work. Her father is fighting for the credit, right?”

n

n

nXue Yao said in a vague tone, “We’re all family, so why should we talk about things like credit?”

n

n

nLi Hanlei continued, “That’s right. You’re all family. Now that you’re separated, their shortcomings are exposed! It’s so embarrassing to be cheated out of 50 million! Tsk, tsk. You can still manage the company, right? I think you should let your father be the chairman!”

n

n

nXue Yao said lightly, “My grandpa has the final say in this.”

n

n

n“Your grandfather is really biased. However, what’s the use of Xue Xi’s studying? She looks so dumb, and her intelligence is abnormal. Perhaps it’s because the previous generation suffered too many losses, so there’s some reparation in the next generation? Oh, right, I also heard that the Ye family has a lunatic. This illness can be inherited!”

n

n

nThis was too much.

n

n

nIt was not enough that they’re mocking Sister Xi, but they even involved Sister Xi’s parents and maternal grandparents.

n

n

nQin Shuang held her breath. She quickly pulled up her pants and pushed open the cubicle door.

n

n

nSeeing her, Li Hanlei felt a little awkward and embarrassed.

n

n

nAt this moment, Xue Xi also pushed open her cubicle door.

n

n

nXue Yao shook Li Hanlei’s arm and whispered, “Stop it.”

n

n

nLi Hanlei sneered. “But I’m only speaking the truth. Can’t you let others say it?”

n

n

nQin Shuang clenched her fists and wanted to hit her.

n

n

nHowever, Xue Xi washed her hands and headed straight for the door. Qin Shuang thought that Xue Xi did not want to blow things up. After all, there were others in the cubicle.

n

n

nShe could only glare at Li Hanlei fiercely and say, “Li Hanlei, let me give you a piece of advice. Just keep your mouth shut!”

n

n

nAfter saying that, she followed Xue Xi out. When she exited, she saw Xue Xi standing at the door and saying to the person who had come to use the toilet, “Can I trouble you to go downstairs?”

n

n

nThe Goddess of Academics personally spoke, and everyone else admired her. Hence, they said fearfully, “Sure, sure.”

n

n

nQin Shuang was stunned.

n

n

nIn the bathroom.

n

n

nXue Yao could not help but say, “You’re too much.”

n

n

nLi Hanlei thought nothing of it. “What are you afraid of? That’s what she’s like. Do you find her pleasing to the eye? She even went to the toilet!”

n

n

nThe two entered the cubicle.

n

n

nThere were a total of six cubicles in the bathroom. When they each went to a toilet, the other four using the isolated rooms came out one after another and left after washing their hands.

n

n

nWhen Li Hanlei came out, she realized that there was no one else in the washroom. She washed her hands and waited for Xue Yao while asking, “What time is it? Class is starting soon, right? Yaoyao, hurry up.”

n

n

nOnly then did Xue Yao slowly walk out of the cubicle. “It’s still early, isn’t it? I still hear some noises outside. Why are you in such a hurry?”

n

n

nAs she spoke, she washed her hands and followed Li Hanlei to open the bathroom door. The next moment, someone pushed them in.

n

n

nAs Xue Yao staggered, she looked up and saw Xue Xi and Qin Shuang walking in.

n

n

nAfter entering, Xue Xi turned around and locked the bathroom.
