Chapter 1355: Paranoia Kills

~8 min read 1,470 words

The head teacher was relentless and still did not believe them: "Why should I believe you? This love letter is ironclad proof. You won't even admit it when the proof is as solid as a mountain; what use is swearing an oath? Don't think your little schemes can escape my eyes; you two are definitely in a puppy-love relationship."

The teacher was very stubborn.

As long as it was something she had decided upon, explanations were completely useless.

The girl ran out of the school crying.

All the students in the class testified for the two of them, proving that they were indeed not in a romantic relationship, but were just ordinary classmates who rarely even spoke to each other.

Lu Feifei was pretty and did well in her studies.

She had an introverted personality and would never take the initiative to talk to male classmates.

This joke had gone too far.

But even with the whole class testifying, it was useless; both of them had to write a self-criticism.

Whether it was to kill the chicken to scare the monkey or to make an example of them, the head teacher was dead set that these two students were in a puppy-love relationship; one person admitting fault wouldn't work, both had to write the self-criticism together.

Lu Feifei ran away, and when some female students wanted to chase after her, she wouldn't let them: "Don't chase her; if you chase her, she'll think we're afraid of her."

Five minutes later.

A window on the fourth floor of the dormitory building opened, and Lu Feifei jumped down from above!

An ambulance sped into the school like a lightning bolt.

Both Lu Feifei and the head teacher were taken away.

Lu Feifei was not in serious trouble; jumping from the fourth floor only resulted in one leg being unable to move and some minor abrasions on her arms—what a stroke of luck!

The head teacher was not so fortunate; upon hearing that Lu Feifei had jumped from the building, she fainted on the spot.

When the ambulance arrived, the head teacher didn't even have a heartbeat, but fortunately, emergency treatment brought her back.

Shi Youxuan followed to the hospital and hired the best doctors to treat them.

She poked her finger at her son's forehead: "This is all the trouble you've caused; wait until later, I'll settle the score with you."

Seeing that the situation had blown up, Sheng Zichen was no longer as arrogant as he had been just a moment ago; he stood honestly in the corner with his head lowered, not moving an inch.

Lu Feifei's parents arrived.

Lu Fei brought a woman who was clearly much younger than him, and her voice arrived before she did.

"Lu Feifei, you disgraceful thing, why didn't you just die? How could you have the face to keep living after such a thing? You're just as shameless as your mother!"

Shi Youxuan frowned slightly.

"Are you Mr. Lu?"

"I am not her father; I don't have such a disgraceful child."

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry. This matter is entirely my child's fault; I apologize to you."

Shi Youxuan took the initiative to recount the sequence of events, without exaggeration and without shirking responsibility.

This matter really had nothing to do with Lu Feifei; she was the victim, the fault was entirely her son's, and now the other party's daughter had even jumped from a building.

Fortunately, she only suffered minor injuries; if something had gone wrong, there would truly be no way to explain it.

"You mean, my daughter wasn't in a puppy-love relationship?" Mr. Lu's expression looked much better.

"Yes."

Shi Youxuan nodded: "That's right, they weren't in a puppy-love relationship; it was all a prank by the boys, it's my son's fault..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the young woman beside Mr. Lu couldn't help but interject sarcastically: "Yo! Is Madam Sheng afraid that we'll latch onto your family?"

"Although our Feifei isn't a match for your Eldest Young Master in terms of status, our Feifei is pretty, gentle, sensible, and obedient; we can't just let it go like this, can we?"

"You say it's 'no big deal' so lightly, and it's just no big deal?"

Shi Youxuan:...

"And who is this?"

Mr. Lu: "My wife, Feifei's mother."

"Mrs. Lu takes such good care of herself; she looks like she's only thirty."

Heaven is my witness, Shi Youxuan was genuinely trying to compliment her, after all, her own family was in the wrong.

But she didn't expect to say the wrong thing.

Mrs. Lu was very displeased: "You rich people don't have very good judgment, do you? Where do I look thirty? I'm only twenty-five."

Twenty-five?

Lu Feifei's mother?

Mr. Lu explained: "She's the stepmother, the stepmother."

The young stepmother didn't dwell too much on her age and went straight to the point, revealing her purpose.

"Madam Sheng, our daughter jumped from a building because of your son; this jump shouldn't be for nothing, right? I think they are a good match; why don't they get engaged?"

Shi Youxuan didn't speak.

Mr. Lu scolded his wife: "Shut up, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? Although we are an ordinary family, our daughter cannot be promised to someone just like that..."

Seeing that her husband didn't agree, Lu Feifei's young stepmother immediately changed her tune.

"If not an engagement, that's fine, but your compensation cannot be small; we are a clean and innocent young girl..."

If giving some money could settle this matter, Shi Youxuan wouldn't mind.

After all, the fault in this matter lay with Zichen.

"Fine, how much do you want?"

"We aren't greedy; how about fifty million?" The young stepmother's eyes flashed with calculating light.

Shi Youxuan:...

Fifty million and you're not greedy?

How much would you want if you were greedy?

Shi Youxuan was, of course, not going to give them whatever they demanded.

She was not a sucker, and she would not give them however much they asked for.

She did not refuse them directly either, but instead said they could call the police, and she would pay whatever amount the police deemed appropriate.

The little stepmother naturally would not call the police; such a large sum would constitute extortion, and she could not go to jail before even getting her hands on the money.

Soon, Lu Feifei's mother also arrived.

After Lu Feifei's biological mother arrived, she did not say a word to Shi Youxuan and started fighting with the little stepmother.

"You shameless vixen, you mistress, how do you have the face to come here?" Lu Mother's eyes were red.

The little stepmother was not to be outdone: "Why wouldn't I dare to come? You are Xiao Fei's mother, and I am also Xiao Fei's mother..."

"Pah! You stinking, shameless woman, what kind of mother are you to her? I'm not dead yet, so it's not your turn, no matter whose turn it is!"

Lu Mother was furious and rushed over to strike her.

The little stepmother was not the type to just take a beating, and the two women wrestled together.

"What do you think you look like? Don't let people laugh at us, let go, let go immediately." Lu Father tried to break up the fight, but neither woman listened to him.

The hallway was too chaotic, so Shi Youxuan took the opportunity to slip away.

Every family has its own troubles, and she had no intention of getting involved in the Lu Family's domestic affairs; she would go see the teacher instead.

The homeroom teacher had already woken up, but her face was as pale as paper and she looked listless.

"Zichen's mother, thank you for hiring the best doctor for me, but I still cannot have your Sheng Zichen as a student; I have already told the Principal to transfer him to another class."

"That's fine, teacher, please rest well and don't exhaust yourself."

Even if the teacher hadn't brought it up herself, Shi Youxuan was going to take the initiative to request a class transfer.

This teacher was meticulous in her teaching, but being that way in her conduct was not acceptable.

Shi Youxuan came out of the homeroom teacher's Hospital Ward and saw that the Lu family members were still fighting in the hallway, but Sheng Zichen was nowhere to be seen.

He had not gone far, however, and was hiding in a corner with only his head poking out to watch the spectacle.

Shi Youxuan walked over, grabbed her son by the collar, and left.

Sheng Family.

"Go to the corner and face the wall; you are not allowed to eat dinner."

Sheng Zichen knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to argue, so he went to stand in the corner.
