Mei Shu paused for a moment, then softened her expression. “Okay, thank you.”

The entire class passed but Mei Mu hadn’t returned.

However, the atmosphere in the classroom was entirely different from the morning when Mei Shu went to the principal’s office. Most of the students were inclined to believe Mei Mu, thinking that Mei Shu had caused trouble in front of the teacher, leading to Mei Mu being publicly criticized.

Mei Mu pretended not to hear the discussions and continued to study quietly.

She didn’t want to waste precious study time on someone who wasn’t worth it. That would be a big loss for her!

It wasn’t until the end of the first class that Mei Mu returned to the classroom with red, teary eyes. Immediately, her classmates approached her and asked what had happened.

Mei Mu took a quick glance at Mei Shu, who seemed indifferent to everything, and walked a few steps closer to her. “Sister, why did you frame me? I never directly told the teacher that you stole the money.”

Her words shocked the entire class, and it was hard to imagine that Mei Shu was really the one who took the money!

For a moment, everyone’s accusing gaze fell on her.

Mei Shu calmly finished writing the last word and put down her pen. She looked at Mei Mu and asked, “Then how did you indirectly imply it? I had no idea about this at all.”

Mei Mu choked and said, “If you didn’t know, how could the grade director come looking for me? He even wanted to call my mom over!”

The grade director wanted to call the campus goddess’ mother over?

Curious classmates immediately gathered around Mei Mu and asked, “What happened exactly? Goddess, just tell us the whole story. Let everyone hear how Mei Shu stole the money, got caught, and then framed her sister!”

With a pout, Mei Mu looked aggrieved and said, “Mei Shu told the grade director that I planned everything. She said I had someone steal the money and put the blame on her. Why would I do such a thing? What benefit do 1 get from tarnishing Mei Shu’s reputation?”

The students who believed Mei Mu’s words were filled with anger. “How could she be so wicked?”

“So, she really stole the money, and now that she’s caught, she’s trying to drag the campus goddess down with her!”

“That must be it! Poor Mei Mu, if 1 had a sister like that, I’d be furious!”

The discussions around her entered Mei Mu’s ears, and she felt even more wronged. Tears welled up in her eyes again, making her eyes red, and she looked just like a helpless and weak rabbit.

Some of the students came to confront Mei Shu.

“Why are you like this? Even if you stole the money, why do you have to frame Mei Mu? What did she do to you? Who gave you the right to spread rumors in front of the teacher?”

“Mei Shu, you have to apologize to Mei Mu today. Otherwise, our entire class won’t let you off!”

Class monitor Chen Hao came over to mediate with a headache. “Don’t be impulsive, and don’t just listen to Mei Mu’s side of the story. Let Mei Shu explain as well.”

Wen Miao also chimed in, “Yes, that’s right. Just because Mei Mu said something doesn’t mean it’s true. If she has nothing to hide, she should let Mei Shu explain and not rush to accuse her like this, without giving her a chance to explain!”

“Fine, let’s hear what she has to say!”

“Ever since Mei Shu came to our class, we haven’t been able to study peacefully. She causes trouble all the time and acts recklessly. With her poor grades, she might as well drop out directly! Her presence in our class only affects others’ studies!”

As the surrounding voices became more and more offensive, Wen Miao couldn’t bear it any longer and suddenly covered her ears, screaming, which shocked everyone.

“Don’t just throw dirty water on others and pretend to be good students. I think you’re all fit to be village gossip aunties at the village entrance!”

“Wen Miao, Mei Shu just gave you a notebook from Lu Yan, and you’re already rushing to be her lapdog. How despicable!”

Wen Miao was angered. “You!”

“What did you say?”

Mei Shu, who had been silent until now, suddenly had an angry expression on her face. She reached out and grabbed the girl’s collar, lifting her off the ground.

The girl was suddenly choked, her face quickly turning red. She couldn’t catch her breath, but the more she struggled, the more tightly her throat was squeezed.

“Mei Shu, don’t be impulsive. Let her go first.” Chen Hao couldn’t watch Mei Shu cause a big mess and tried to persuade her with a gentle voice.

Except for him, everyone present was dumbfounded by Mei Shu’s actions.

No one had expected that Mei Shu, who looked so weak and frail, with barely any flesh on her arms, would have such strength, even stronger than the boys!

She was like a monster with immense power!

Mei Shu didn’t actually intend to strangle the girl. Seeing that she was truly scared, she loosened her grip and let her collapse to the ground, coughing uncontrollably.

Before the girl could catch her breath, Mei Shu bent down, lifted her chin with one hand and warned her word by word, “From now on, Wen Miao is my good friend. If I hear you saying anything bad about her, don’t blame me for not being polite!”

The girl, who had just experienced a life-and-death situation, was still dizzy and terrified, trembling all over. She didn’t dare to confront Mei Shu anymore and nodded desperately, begging for mercy. “I won’t, please don’t kill me. I won’t dare to do it again!”

“Good girl.” Mei Shu patted her cheek gently, then slowly straightened up and scanned the crowd.. “Do you all remember now?”
