~9 min read 1,690 words

"……"

The uncles and elder brothers in the family group seemed to have lined up, messages flooding the screen one after another.

Basically they all wanted to come in person to block the person, some wanted to investigate the other side's background, and even an overseas brother directly said he would pause his work and return home.

The confrontation in the classroom remained tense, the bodyguard's grip on Yun sister's wrist showed no weakening, she endured without making a sound.

Mu Youyu put away her phone, glanced at the book that had fallen to the ground, the corner of her mouth curling into an inscrutable smile, she looked at the people beside her and said in a flat tone: "A Jin, what should we do with these books?"

Jiang Liangjin's eyes still held coldness, but his gaze toward her instantly softened, he comforted: "It's fine, I'll have someone bring over the new books later."

Yu Ci also chimed in with comfort: "It's not too late to switch when we get to senior year."

Gu Xingnan nodded, "Anyway, we're going to skip a grade."

Everyone who heard:!! What? They're going to skip a grade?

Yun sister's group's faces instantly turned pale, if these people were in the same class as them...

At this moment, homeroom teacher Liu Yunmi stood at the doorway holding her lesson plan, her gaze sweeping over the books scattered all over the floor and the obvious water stain on the most, most, most, most, most cute student Mu Youyu's clothing!

And the imposing bodyguard at the doorway, along with a crowd of students from our class and other classes standing there.

"What are you doing?" Liu Yunmi said, not loudly, her gaze instinctively locking onto those few obviously not from our class strangers.

She also glanced at the obvious water on Mu Youyu's clothing, swept over the soaked books on the floor, then looked at the evasive gazes of Yun sister and her group, and already formed a judgment in her mind.

Yun sister seemed to have grabbed a lifeline, she struggled violently to look at Liu Yunmi, trying to turn the tables: "Teacher! You finally came! It's Mu Youyu who's extorting us!"

"She actually demanded five million for a single piece of clothing! We just wanted to reason with her a bit, and she called all these people to threaten us—look, my wrist is all red from being pinched!"

As she spoke, she deliberately lifted her wrist, revealing the reddened mark from her struggle, looking pitiful and wronged as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Mu Youyu: "……"

Jiang Liangjin didn't expect her to report five million—does that count as extortion?

The followers also quickly chimed in, portraying themselves as victims.

"Yeah, teacher, we didn't do anything wrong at all—she's the one being excessive!"

"Exactly, relying on her wealth to bully people, and even bringing bodyguards to intimidate us!"

But the Class A students wouldn't let them twist truth and falsehood; Bai Yun spoke up first: "Little Liu sis, don't listen to their nonsense! This girl deliberately splashed water to knock over Xiao Yu's books, and even led the rumors about Xiao Yu—we can all testify!"

Gu Xingnan continued: "There's surveillance, we can check it; if it's broken and we can't check, I'll hack into the system to get the backup."

Jiang Liangjin glanced at him and added: "No need for that trouble, the surveillance isn't broken—we have the full footage."

Liu Yunmi always sides with her own class's students; hearing her classmates also chime in, they spoke one after another to clarify the whole story, their words full of dissatisfaction toward Yun sister and her group.

After listening, Liu Yunmi's gaze toward Yun sister grew even colder.

Having taught for over ten years, she's seen all kinds of students; she can tell at a glance who's lying and who's feeling wronged.

Moreover, she still knows the students in her own class; although some are a bit mischievous, they are all reasonable and would never instigate trouble, let alone bully others using their status.

Moreover, another well-behaved girl with excellent grades and a prestigious Family Background—a true princess—has arrived!

And she still hasn't spoken up!

Mu Youyu's eyes flickered, and she spoke: "Teacher, I... I'm fine, I just accidentally got bumped by them on purpose, my clothes got wet, I just casually said five million, I didn't expect them to react so strongly..."

After saying that, she raised her eyebrows at the few girls, her eyes as if appreciating something amusing.

But soon she suppressed it again, leaving only a magnanimous demeanor: "Maybe they're just feeling defensive? Teacher, don't blame them—I don't blame them."

!!

Liu Yunmi instantly became even angrier.

Look look look look! Listen listen listen listen! This is the difference between people! Who would believe the obvious act of pretending to be pitiful by outsider class students?

In her class, the top-ranked student's pretended toughness makes it obvious who's right and who's wrong just by listening!

Last time with Yu Cheng, wasn't it also the other side who started the trouble, and in the end Mu Youyu still chose to let things go peacefully?

Yun sister knew Yan Yuejiu's status in the design world, and tried to desperately struggle, confusing the issue: "A piece of clothing worth five million is impossible! Maybe this clothing is a counterfeit, it's not worth that much at all..."

"What's wrong with a piece of clothing being five million?" Liu Yunmi coldly cut her off, her tone full of impatience.

"You don't know her clothes—they're all personally custom-made by her sister-in-law, Ms. Yan Yuejiu! Each piece is a unique design!"

Jiang Liangjin added: "Don't even say five million—even if it were fifty million, people would be fighting to get it."

After all, Sister Yan's craft is on the verge of being lost, she has piles of awards and certificates, she's famous internationally, and she hasn't sold externally in the past two years, making her work practically priceless.

Within the circle, many wealthy collectors are vying to acquire her works.

"That's right." Liu Yunmi said sternly, "Never mind who's right or wrong—you few, come with me to the classroom door! This is a classroom, a place for learning, not a place for you to cause trouble!"

Saying that, she looked at the bodyguard, her tone softening a bit: "Sir, please release her first; I'll handle the rest."

The bodyguard didn't release his grip right away, but turned his head to look at Mu Youyu, waiting for her instruction.

Mu Youyu lifted her eyes slightly: "Leave one person here, the others can go first."

The bodyguards looked at each other, played rock-paper-scissors, and only the winner stayed behind.

The other bodyguards then nodded in unison, exited the classroom in an orderly fashion, leaving only the one bodyguard arranged by Mu Xin.

Yun sister rubbed her reddened wrist, her eyes still filled with reluctance, but she didn't dare act out anymore, only unwillingly following Liu Yunmi out.

Her followers exchanged glances, then could only lower their heads and follow.

Liu Yunmi walked over to Mu Youyu's side, her gaze full of concern: "Should we first take your clothing to the dormitory building to deal with it?"

Mo Song heard and quickly said: "Older sister Yu, I have clothing I can lend you."

She is a commuter student, but she has applied for a dormitory.

As soon as she finished speaking, other classmates chimed in with concern.

Mu Youyu shook her head, looked up at Liu Yunmi, and said: "Thank you for your concern, teacher, and thank you everyone—I'm fine; I'll handle the clothing matter after my family arrives."

The classmates gave the group of people standing outside a "dead bad" look.

Once Older sister Yu's family arrives, they're doomed.

But does jealousy really make people unrecognizable like that?

Jiang Liangjin also stepped forward and said to Liu Yunmi, "Teacher, please start the class first; I'll stay with her here until her family arrives."

"Okay." Liu Yunmi nodded, thought of something, turned and walked to the classroom door, seeing Yun Jie and a few others leaning against the wall, her gaze stern as she fixed it on them.

"Which class are you from?"

Yun Jie and the others stood at the doorway, facing the probing glances of passing students in the hallway, their faces alternating between red and white.

Especially thinking of how Mu Youyu had just called for help in the group chat, saying her family would arrive soon, made her panic even more; but now there was nothing to do but grit her teeth and wait.

Seeing their delayed response, Liu Yunmi grew impatient and asked again, "I'm asking which class you're from."

One of the girls, intimidated by her presence, whispered back, "Class 15 of Senior Year 3."

Knowing this was the bottom-ranked class, Liu Yunmi quickly took a few group photos of them, posted in the teacher chat, "Whose students are these? Come claim them fast," and then began her lesson.

The classroom soon fell silent again; Bai Yun leaned over to Mu Youyu and said, "I'm furious—people like that deserve a lesson! But Xiao Yu, you were so cool just now; saying five million outright scared her silly!"

Jiang Liangjin's expression finally eased, though his eyes still held a hint of coldness, and he said indifferently, "Next time just report a hundred million."

Yu Ci agreed, "Let such clueless people know that not just anyone can be provoked."

Mu Youyu thought the same; anyway, Sister Yan's clothing is practically priceless on the market—"Next time if there's a chance, definitely."

"..."

Liu Yunmi confirmed that the bodyguards at the door would help watch over Yun Jie and the others, then turned and returned to the classroom.

Everyone else returned to their seats; only Mu Youyu and Jiang Liangjin went out, pulling the door shut behind them.

As soon as the two stepped out, they saw two familiar figures hurrying toward them from the end of the hallway.

It was Mu Xi and Song Lujing.

Mu Youyu paused, then shoved her coat back into Jiang Liangjin's hands.
