However, in the long night, there were always people who were not spending it peacefully.

For example, the current Ji Yao.

“Pa!”

The sound of a heavy slap rang out.

Lin Xue fell to the ground and covered her face with her hands. One side of her face was red and swollen. There were tears in the corners of her eyes, but she held them back.

“You were the one posted the recording? Who is that person?” Ji Yao said fiercely. As she spoke, she turned on the recording on her phone and looked at Lin Xue. “You’d better know your place.”

“Yes, I recorded the recording, but why do you care whose account that is?” Lin Xue was fearless as she faced Ji Yao, who was about to go crazy with fury.

“Looks like you’re asking for it.” Ji Yao smiled strangely and adjusted the camera angle.

“Although your not as good-looking as me, your face is also a little pure. Do you know how much those wretched men on the Internet would like to look at you?” Ji Yao approached step by step.

“What are you going to do? I’m telling you, it’s illegal for you to do this.”

“So what if I broke the law? Firstly, I’m not an adult yet. Secondly, I have my parents to take care of it for me. Don’t worry, you’ll be the only one in trouble.” Ji Yao looked at Meng Fei and gestured for her to take action.

Meng Fei was a little unwilling, but she had always lived in a family that valued power. For someone like Ji Yao, her family could not compare to her. It was best to obey and not get herself into trouble.

“Sigh, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for provoking someone you shouldn’t have.” Meng Fei walked forward. She had a strong build, and Lin Xue was very thin. Although she struggled with all her might, she was still subdued by Meng Fei.

She took off her clothes one by one, revealing her underwear.

“Continue taking off her clothes.” Ji Yao looked at the video on her phone and was very satisfied. However, at this moment, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

“Hello, the Student Council is inspecting the dorms. Please don’t lock the door.”

Ji Yao gritted her teeth. Someone had come to disturb her halfway through her business. She could only ask Meng Fei to let go of Lin Xue. After Lin Xue was dressed, she switched to a fake friendly smile and opened the door.

“Why is there a sudden dorm inspection today? I haven’t had time to…” Before Ji Yao could finish speaking, she heard the student who was in charge of the dorm inspection, muttering, “What are you pretending for?”

She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart so that she would not explode in public.

“Student Ji Yao, your father has helped you with the dormitory withdrawal procedures. It’s effective immediately. Pack your personal belongings now. Your father’s car is already at the school gate.”

“What?” Ji Yao was shocked. Why would her father…

At this moment, she could no longer care about her trivial matters. She immediately packed her things and left the dormitory.

The student council member left the dormitory after the inspection.

“Oh! How exciting! I’ve never challenged Ji Yao’s authority like this!”

“That’s right. From the sounds inside just now, something must have happened. Fortunately, Student Chu An was quick-witted and informed the student council to come and do a dorm inspection.”

“But the main thing is to tell Ji Yao that she has been withdrawn from the dorms. This is quite sudden.”

The girls chatted and laughed as they returned to their respective dormitories, as if they were heroes who had saved the world.

In the dormitory, Lin Xue and Meng Fei looked at each other in silence.

“I’m sorry. I’m just considering my family’s business.” Meng Fei was the first to speak.

“Your apology is too cheap. You don’t even have the courage to resist. Why are you apologizing to me?” Lin Xue tidied her clothes. “Alright, Ji Yao has left. You should sleep well tonight. I don’t want it to affect your studies.”

Outside the school, a black Maserati was parked by the roadside. After Ji Yao hurriedly dragged her suitcase in, the car slowly started.

“Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused?” Mr Ji’s voice was filled with anger.

Ji Yao suddenly raised her voice. “It’s all Gu Xiao’s fault! She stole so many of my things. I couldn’t help but…”

“Don’t give me these excuses. How did I teach you since you were young? To be calm no matter what happens. And what did you do? Do you know what the Chu family told me today?” Mr Ji’s tone was filled with disappointment.

“What did they say?” Ji Yao was afraid.

“The Chu family said that they want to sever their partnership with the Ji family!” Mr Ji said tiredly.

“What?!” Ji Yao was shocked.

The Chu family and the Ji family had always been business rivals, but at the same time, they also had a cooperative relationship and this kind of cooperation promoted the development of the two corporations.

The only difference was that the Ji Family had always relied on the materials provided by the Chu Family for production, and the Ji Family was the largest customer of the Chu Family. The two of them were in a mutually beneficial relationship, but if they stopped working together, the Ji Family would definitely lose the most.

“Do you know that because of you, our Ji Family will lose hundreds of millions?!” Her father was furious.
