For the entire weekend, Shi Qinglan was at Qinglan Water Pavilion with Bo Yucheng, helping him take care of his wound. Luckily, it was only an external injury, so he recovered rather quickly.
However, Shi Qinglan still refused to let him send and fetch her to and from school.
Before she left with Wen Le for school, Bo Yucheng held the girl’s waist, reluctant to part. “Come back home earlier after school.”
“I will.” Shi Qinglan nodded obediently.
Bo Yucheng smiled and leaned forward a little. The girl felt a soft and cool touch on her forehead. “Don’t go running around. Remember to contact me first if anything crops up.”
“Okay.” Shi Qinglan nodded again.
Bo Yucheng only headed back to the study room for a conference call in his usual indifferent self after he watched the girl leave the manor and the car disappeared from his vision.
…
In Mingcheng High School, everyone was in a fervent discussion.
The students gathered in front of the notice board, pointing at a notice as they engaged in a fierce discussion.
“Shen Ruxue was detained for half a month for being involved in arson!”
“Oh my! Did she really set fire to that old school building? The police have already sent a notice to the school!”
“And her mom even had the gall to cause so much commotion at the school gate…”
Shi Qinglan could already hear the commotion when she stepped through the school gates.
She lifted her brow and smiled as she walked straight into the academic building. Her hair flew freely in the wind, and her beautiful back view attracted a lot of gazes.
“Those rumors about Shi Qinglan being heartless and maligning the school belle were all made up by her foster mother to ruin her reputation, right?”
“F*ck! I knew it. How could someone so beautiful have such an evil heart…”
“Haven’t you heard? Someone fainted at the school gate that day, and it was Shi Qinglan who saved him with CPR!”
“Really? She’s truly an angel inside out. She would never be a heartless ingrate like her foster mother made her out to be…”
People’s views were always like that, changing like clouds.
Shi Qinglan could not be bothered. She wanted to avoid the gazes and look for a quiet spot, so she purposely took the route to the academic building through the garden.
However, she didn’t expect to suddenly hear noises and some cursing from a nearby bush.
“Motherf*cker! Give us the protection money right now! Otherwise, don’t you dare think of leaving this place with your limbs intact today!”
“Beat her up! This b*tch is just asking for a beating! I’ll let her know who’s the boss in school!”
After that came the sound of punching and kicking.
Shi Qinglan’s gaze turned cold. She looked in the direction of the bush and squinted. Almost without hesitation, she swept her bag behind her and walked straight over.
“No! This is mine…”
A group of boys had cornered a girl near the bushes. They snatched her bag and poured everything out, flipping through all her belongings but could not find a single cent.
The girl was a little flustered and nervous. She tried to protect a small box that fell out from her bag, fearing that it would be snatched away.
“What’s this! This little box is pretty exquisite. Could there be money hidden inside?”
A gangster was sharp enough to notice the girl’s action and was about to grab the box when suddenly, a snapping sound was heard. Following that was a terrible cry. “Ouch–”
