Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the start of the new semester, everyone’s attention returned to their studies.

...

However, the atmosphere in the classroom was strangely tense.

During self-study, all the teachers from the entire grade were called to the principal’s office for a meeting.

In the absence of teachers, only the class monitor, Chen Hao, was in charge of discipline. He was easygoing and didn’t strictly forbid students from discussing questions, so the classmates were exchanging answers under his tacit approval.

But today, the whispers in the classroom were not about exam questions; instead, the topic revolved around Mei Mu.

During the welcome banquet at the Zhou family’s residence, Zhou Li invited many students from their class. It was the first time they attended such a grand event, and they all sat in the corner timidly. They only dared to take pastries placed right in front of them, afraid of making any mistakes and being ridiculed.

Thus, they almost all saw the scene of Mei Mu half-relying on a man’s chest during the banquet.

Some quick-witted students even managed to take intimate photos of the two, and by now, the pictures had been thoroughly circulated among Mei Shu’s admirers in the class.

“It must be a misunderstanding! Maybe that guy is Mei Mu’s relative! Didn’t you see that she was injured? She probably couldn’t stand properly, so she leaned on someone else!”

“But the woman standing on the other side should be Mei Shu’s mother… If she couldn’t stand, she could have leaned on her mother. Why did she cling to a man?”

“I’m telling you, that guy must be Mei Mu’s relative! Maybe he’s her brother! Don’t think so dirty. Mei Mu is pure and innocent, and she would never do such things!”

Wen Miao also secretly glanced at the photo.

The man in the photo was clearly much older than Mei Mu. Even if he was Mei Shu’s brother, they shouldn’t be so intimate in public. They were already adults, so how could they behave like that in front of others?

Moreover, the man’s gaze towards Mei Shu was clearly not innocent at all!

In Wen Miao’s view, there must be something fishy between these two!

With this thought in mind, Wen Miao crouched down and sneaked over to Mei Shu’s desk partner. She lightly poked her waist, signaling her to switch seats.

Her desk partner glanced at Mei Shu, who was still focused on her test paper, and hesitated before nodding in agreement.

After changing seats, Wen Miao sat next to Mei Shu and gently patted her shoulder, “I finished copying the notes from Lu Yan. Here you go. Thanks!”

Mei Shu put the notes away with just a quick glance, “You’re welcome. If there’s anything else you need, feel free to ask.”

While talking, she continued to write answers on her test paper, completely unaffected by the disturbance.

Wen Miao smiled somewhat embarrassedly, “There’s one thing 1 want to confirm with you personally.”

Mei Shu paused her pen and looked at Wen Miao, puzzled, “What is it?”

Wen Miao said mysteriously, “Yesterday at Zhou Li’s banquet, was Mei Mu really attending with a man, and they seemed very close?”

Mei Shu furrowed her brows, recalling Zhang Jiao did take Mei Mu to the hospital yesterday. Suddenly, her expression relaxed, “He is my father’s business partner, and they did attend the banquet together. But as for their relationship, I don’t know.”

Business partner?

So they were going to be married for a business alliance?

In an instant, a whole TV drama unfolded in Wen Miao’s mind.

She patted Mei Shu’s shoulder and said, “Mei Mu has some uses after all. At least, after she marries that man for your family’s business, you can choose a man you really like.”

Mei Shu was taken aback but then smiled helplessly.

Wen Miao was indeed a top student, but sometimes she could be so naive.

If her father wanted to use her marriage to form a business alliance, she wouldn’t be able to escape from such a fate no matter what Mei Mu would do.

However, in this second chance at life, Mei Shu only wanted to live comfortably, so even if Mei Yun forced her to marry someone, she would never submit.

Locking eyes with Wen Miao’s sparkling eyes, Mei Shu nodded, “Yes, my life will not be dictated by anyone.”

“i support you!” Wen Miao patted her shoulder and, having obtained the answer she wanted to hear, returned to her seat gleefully.

At this moment, the admirers of Mei Mu were still trying to whitewash her.

“Mei Mu is beautiful and kind-hearted. She gets along well with her family. Unlike Mei Shu, I heard even her younger brothers dislike her! If 1 were in her shoes, I would rather die than live like that! Everyone hates her, so why doesn’t she just kill herself?”

These words were really venomous.

Wen Miao couldn’t stand it anymore, “What do you know? Who told you that the man is Mei Mu’s relative? Let me tell you, that man is Mei Shu’s family’s business partner! They have no blood relationship at all!”

“You’re talking nonsense!” The person became angry and slammed the table, causing quite a disturbance.

Chen Hao lifted his head from his test paper, glared irritably at them, and said, “Quiet! The college entrance exam is coming up. Even if you don’t want to study, others want to!”

The person could only close his mouth, still glaring at Wen Miao, silently saying, “Just wait, I’ll ask Mei Mu about it after class!”
