Xia Sanghuan originally wanted to be picked up and dropped off by the driver as usual, but her family was worried, so this task fell to Fu Lingshi.
And it seemed that her eldest brother enjoyed it.
When she came downstairs for breakfast, she found that her family was still quietly sitting around the table as usual, showing no sign.
This atmosphere made her heave a sigh of relief.
After all, her elder brothers and sisters were all outstanding. If they made a fuss about such a small thing, she would feel a bit uncomfortable.
Although what she considered a "small thing" might be an unattainable height for others in their whole lives.
After breakfast, the girl went to school as usual.
It was just that today her eldest brother used a new car to take her.
It was a globally limited - edition sports car that was just released some time ago. It was said that their grandfather bought it for her eldest brother as compensation.
She didn't really care what car she took to school, but the people in school seemed to think otherwise.
She watched her eldest brother drive away. The next second after she turned around, a sarcastic voice mixed with a harsh sneer rang in her ear.
"Why did you come to school in such a nice car today? Did you find a rich sugar daddy?"
She paused in her steps forward, then looked at the girl who was speaking, but the girl didn't notice her at all.
"Could it be that her family is actually wealthy?"
Another girl asked.
"How is that possible? The car she used to take is not even in the same league as this one."
The girl sneered.
"Moreover, the only good thing about her is probably her face."
"It's not surprising that she was taken fancy to by a rich man."
She said mockingly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her burst into laughter.
However, the next second they couldn't laugh anymore.
Because the protagonist they were talking about had walked behind them.
"Is it really that funny?"
Xia Sanghuan asked calmly.
"Do you want me to tell your tutors or professors about your deliberate slander of others?"
She folded her arms, and her extremely aggressive eyes slowly scanned everyone's faces.
Some people immediately fell silent and left quietly.
The remaining people looked at her with a mixture of fear and provocation in their eyes.
They were like a group of mice caught by a cat.
The arrogant expression on the girl in the middle faded after she met the girl's eyes. If you looked closely, there was cold sweat trickling down her forehead.
How could this woman have such a strong aura?
"What, did I say something wrong?"
She put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, and tried to maintain her pitiful pride.
Seeing her attitude, Xia Sanghuan knew that if she continued to entangle with her, it would only make the situation worse.
She simply ignored her and turned to walk towards the research building.
In the eyes of others, her actions seemed like a hasty escape after being exposed.
Moreover, that girl didn't seem to intend to let her go.
"Otherwise, do you think a vase like you could become Master Xiao's apprentice?"
"You must have bribed the hospital a lot of money, right?"
"Your sugar daddy is really..."
She swallowed back the words "caring".
She looked up in horror at the person in front of her.
While the girl was still chattering like a frog, Xia Sanghuan walked back in front of her. Before the girl could react, Xia Sanghuan's hand had already reached out.
She pinched the girl's face with one hand and her neck with the other.
"You seem to know so much. Are you the one who's being kept as a mistress?"
Unlike the girl's veiled remarks, she was straightforward and explicit.
She looked at her coldly, as if she were looking at a dead thing.
Her grip wasn't very strong, but it still made the girl feel a slight suffocating pain.
The girl tried to struggle, but Xia Sanghuan tightened her grip.
She immediately dared not move.
Seeing this scene, the people around began to stir uneasily.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that fighting is prohibited on campus?"
The security guard heard the commotion and walked over with a baton.
Just as the girl was about to speak, a boy in the crowd started to "accuse the victim first".
"Uncle, we were just joking with classmate Xia Sanghuan. Who would have thought she..."
The girl turned to look at him, and he immediately shut up.
The boy shrank back into the crowd with lingering fear. When Xia Sanghuan looked at him just now, he felt for a moment as if a venomous snake was baring its fangs at him.
It was a feeling of coldness from head to toe, and he almost sat down on the ground.
Xia Sanghuan retracted her disdainful gaze and released the girl.
The girl coughed continuously, and there were red handprints on her neck.
She actually meant it.
This was the only thought in everyone's mind after seeing the handprints.
Looking at the dull expressions of these people, the girl sneered disdainfully.
A bunch of young beasts who grew up in the ivory tower, still so naive, dared to confront her head - on?
Seeing the terrified expression on the girl in front of her as if she was about to faint, she took a few steps back.
The security guard looked at her suspiciously. There was no trace of guilt on her face for being caught in the act. Instead, she looked extremely cold because of anger.
The security guard asked a few more questions, but no one present answered him.
Xia Sanghuan didn't want to, and the others didn't dare to.
Just as the situation was at a standstill, a familiar voice came.
"Sanghuan, why are you here?"
It was Professor He.
"Professor."
The girl turned around and greeted him briefly.
The security guard, who had been racking his brains because of these students, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Professor He.
He walked up to him and briefly explained the situation.
"I see."
Professor He's expression gradually became serious.
"Sanghuan, come with me."
He nodded to his student.
Xia Sanghuan didn't show much reaction and just followed Professor He.
But she didn't miss the gloating whispers from the people behind her.
"You were so full of yourself just now. Why don't you act like that anymore?"
In order not to make things difficult for the professor, she had to pretend not to hear.
Such loose - tongued people. I really want to cut their mouths open to see how many tongues are inside.
The two returned to the research room without saying a word on the way.
The girl felt more and more uneasy as she walked. She thought she had really made the professor angry.
She closed the door and was just about to apologize when she heard Professor He say,
"I have to have a good talk with Lao Li."
"Let the tutors in the school manage their students well."
"If this trend continues, it will be out of control."
As he said, he put on his white coat.
Xia Sanghuan was stunned for a moment when she saw his reaction, and then she understood.
"Okay."
She heaved a sigh of relief.
