As if God had heard her prayers, she saw a lone figure roaming in the hallways, looking for his new class. Since Lu Xuan’s rank had improved, he would be sitting in Class Ten I this time. Earlier he was in Class Ten K but he had improved his rank this time. He was now in the same class as Wang Yuxi.
“Cousin!” Zhou Liling shouted.
Lu Xuan stopped in his footsteps as he heard a familiar shriek. He turned his gaze to find Zhou Liling running toward him, tears streaming down his face. He furrowed his brows as he didn’t understand why she was crying.
“Cousin, save me! Some students of Class Ten K want to beat me up!” Zhou Liling snitched and cried hard.
Now, this was a twist in the plot…
Song Xueyun had an urge to beat up Zhou Liling. Of course, she knew about the girl’s relationship with Lu Xuan. They were distant cousins, not immediate family. She swore that if Lu Xuan supported Lily or her endeavours rather than his twin, she was going to beat him to a pulp..

“I did,” Han Zixin announced as he hid An Xiulan behind his back and grabbed his pipe from her. “If she didn’t accept her wrongdoings in a minute, I’m going to push her down the second floor and call it a suicide. I will see who will stop me.”
“You bastard!” Lu Xuan launched to punch him but before his fist could touch Han Zixin’s face, Gu Shangyan and Wang Yuxi pulled him.
“Zhou Liling is in wrong this time,” Both of them said and he fell silent.
“Speak!” Han Zixin said once and Zhou Liling burst into sobs.
“I didn’t try to commit suicide,” She accepted while crying. “I was just angry so I went to the school terrace to cool off. I don’t know why the janitor felt that I was there to commit suicide. Everyone believed the Janitor’s words. I wanted to tell everyone the truth but I know that no one would ever believe my words and so I went with the flow of the story.”
“Lily, you don’t have to lie. Say the truth, I will save you,” Lu Xuan said while glaring at Han Zixin.
However, Zhou Lily could only cry pitifully. If she wanted to save her reputation, she had to cry and be oblivious since she couldn’t be the victim this time. Although she lost the first half of the game, she believed that she would be able to defeat Shen Yue and that bitch.
Lu Xuan was on her side. She has nothing to fear.
Soon the words started spreading in the school that a student of Class Ten K beat up Zhou Liling and proved Shen Yue innocent. Some people believed that Shen Yue was innocent while some didn’t. Thankfully, half of the students of the class Ten K believed that Shen Yue was innocent.
The method adopted by An Xiulan couldn’t be said to be the best one. She was a sixteen years old girl who hadn’t schemed against anyone. She was as straightforward as a line and she wasn’t enough to fight against someone as devious as Zhou Liling.
Someone as sincere and honest as An Xiulan needed proper training to fight against a tricky opponent like Zhou Liling.
Although it wasn’t proved that Zhou Liling was a bully, it was enough for Shen Yue. Never had she ever thought that the tag of the murderer from her name would be removed like that.
Lu Xuan was so angry with Wang Yuxi and Gu Shangyan that he left in a fit of anger. He knew if he stayed there for a minute, he was going to beat up Han Zixin whose face he absolutely loathed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore leaving, he saw Song Xueyun standing behind Han Zixin along with Han Nanxian and he felt his temper rising.
As Lu Xuan left the premise, An Xiulan snatched the steel pipe from Han Zixin again as he felt as if he was taking her credit. It was her who had the most amazing idea of beating up the bully but it was him taking all her credit.
Han Zixin let her take the credit and walked out of there along with his buddies who just reached the premises. He didn’t want to talk to her and so he left for the class.
When the news reached the teacher, the discipline teacher saw An Xiulan holding the steel pipe and Zhou Liling crying pitifully. His temper riled up and he invited her to the principal’s office.
Currently, she was standing before the principal while the headteacher of Class Ten A and Class Ten K along with the discipline teacher were scolding her. She was still thinking about how she freed Shen Yue from the tag of the murderer and feeling giddy. Thus, she didn’t pay attention to what the teachers were saying to her. She was only obediently nodding and shaking her head all this while.
“Call her parents,” The teacher of Class Ten A said. “No student has any right to threaten any student in my class. If I don’t get justice for my student justice, I will not be satisfied.”
“Teacher Qian–” Teacher Jin tried to negotiate with the teacher but to no avail.
“Teacher Qian is right, call her parents, “The vice-principal said.
The principal looked at An Xiulan and sighed. Of course, he remembered this girl. She was no one else but President An’s daughter. It wasn’t that the school was afraid of punishing her but they already had committed a mistake of calling President An when it was the school’s fault. They didn’t want to offend the school’s shareholder as well as board of director.
“The school will set up a committee to resolve this matter,” The principal said the two teachers were left in bewilderment.
Never had Zhou Liling thought that her small trick would land her in such a big fix.
