Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bai Yao was stunned as she looked at the group of people who suddenly rushed in. She quickly wiped her tears and stood up with an unfriendly expression. “Who let you in? Why did you come in?”

She was like a vicious dog defending her territory. She bared her fangs and brandished her claws, completely losing her usual gentleness and composure.

Chen Wei was slightly stunned. He recognized her as the famous sweet girl in the grade and could not help but ask in surprise, “Then why are you here? We’re here to help the teacher get the holiday homework.”

During this holiday, Geng Hui wanted to take advantage of the students’ enthusiasm to leave more homework for them to consolidate. He had bought a large number of exercise books from his own pocket, but he had forgotten about them because of the incident just now. Now that he remembered, he asked Chen Wei to bring a few boys to the office to get them.

Unexpectedly, Shi Man, who had always been impatient to participate in such matters, took the initiative to ask to go with him. Geng Hui had no reason to stop her and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Bai Yao’s surprised gaze slowly moved from Chen Wei to Shi Man’s face. Her expression instantly turned ugly. “Are you here to laugh at me?”

Shi Man smirked. “Why? Aren’t you going to cover up for yourself now? Is your score of zero good?”

Bai Yao bit her lower lip and her face turned pale. She clenched her fists tightly and tried her best to control her emotions. Her nails dug into her flesh. “How dare you say that!”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Shi Man shrugged her shoulders fearlessly and walked lazily to the sofa to sit down. “Your courage surprises me. You took the initiative to mention it in front of others right after it happened. It seems like you’re afraid that others won’t know what you did.”

“What’s the matter?” Chen Wei looked back and forth between the two of them in confusion.

After following Shi Man for so long, he had never known that she had a grudge against Bai Yao. The two of them should not have known each other in school, right?

Bai Yao finally realized that she had been blinded by anger when she was interrupted by him. She quickly shut her mouth and put on a pitiful and weak expression.

Chen Wei was even more curious now.

This was because he realized that not only was Bai Yao’s expression changing drastically, even Su Tang, who had always only known how to follow Shi Man around, had a change in expression.

As Shi Man’s self-proclaimed number one follower, Chen Wei tactfully approached Su Tang and asked, “What happened? Does this have something to do with you?”

“Of course!” Su Tang gritted her teeth and glared at Bai Yao. When she remembered that this was the girl she had seen with Shi Mu last time, her expression turned even worse. “Bai Yao, I don’t even know you. Why did you harm me?”

Shi Man pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at Su Tang, who was clearly braver than before, and leaned back on the sofa in relief to enjoy this scene.

Bai Yao’s expression immediately became flustered. She lowered her head helplessly and muttered, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. I don’t even know you!”

Su Tang sneered and imitated Shi Man’s usual aura. “If you don’t know me, how can you imitate my handwriting so well? If Manman hadn’t invited Elder Wen over this time, I’m afraid the principal would have been deceived by your tricks!”

All she wanted to do now was to ask Bai Yao why she had framed her for no reason.

Bai Yao’s jaw dropped when she heard her question. However, she remembered that there were other people present, so she didn’t want to publicize the matter. She immediately put on an impatient expression and said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

She pushed Su Tang away and was about to walk out, but her arm was firmly held by someone from behind.

She turned around and met Su Tang’s angry eyes. “Let go.”

“No!” It was rare for Su Tang to be so unyielding. She grabbed her hand and insisted that she give a reason. “Why did you harm me? Is your target Manman or me?”

Bai Yao couldn’t get rid of it. Soon, a red mark appeared on her wrist. It was so painful that she gasped. She could only open her watery eyes and ask Chen Wei for help. “Brother Chen, help me chase this lunatic away. I really don’t know what she’s talking about.”

Chen Wei was not a fool. Looking at the confrontation between the two of them just now, he instantly figured out the reason why Shi Man suddenly came to the office today.

The thought that Shi Man was trying to block him lingered in his mind. His heart, which was about to soften, instantly became stubborn again. “No, since Su Tang has said so, you have to make yourself clear before you leave.”

Bai Yao stared at him in disbelief. This man used to chase after her for a period of time. Why did his attitude towards her suddenly change so much?

She was already so aggrieved, but this person was still looking at her expressionlessly!

Grievance and sadness surged into her heart at the same time. Tears streamed down her face. Bai Yao was crying as she squatted on the ground. She looked as helpless as a little girl who had been bullied by a group of people.

Chen Wei could not bear to see a woman cry. He immediately looked at Shi Man helplessly.. “Sister, what should we do now? She won’t call the teachers over if she cries so loudly, right?”
