Ma Mingquan kept a straight face and replied sternly, âLet go of your hand!â
Song Fang cupped the paper in his hand tightly as he replied, âNever! Every single stroke that formed the words on this paper was made by me with a 50-cent black pen. Each and every word represents my love and care for Sister Zhi! You must not take it away from me!â
Ma Mingquan replied, âYouâre affecting other students by passing a slip of paper in class!â
Song Fang kicked Fu Zhiâs chair and said anxiously, âSister Zhi, say something!â
Fu Zhi pressed her lips. âWhy canât you guys communicate with each other through QQ? Why must you pass a piece of paper around? Besides, just like you s*ck at passing ball, you also s*ck at passing paper and youâve indeed disturbed my rest.â
Song Fang looked at Fu Zhi, his eyes filled with disbelief. It was only now that he realized he had been too naive. How could he trust a dense, cold-hearted person like Fu Zhi to bare her soul to him?
In the end, Song Fang handed the paper, aka his kid, to Ma Mingquan.
Then, Fu Zhi chimed in, telling Ma Mingquan, âRemember to get a better trash can.â
Ma Mingquan nodded in assent. âDonât worry. Iâm a professional. Iâm sure it will go into its rightful place.â
Song Fang was stunned.
âHello, police? Can you come over here? There are two lunatics on the run!â
ââ
The atmosphere in Class 21 remained the same until just before lunchtime.
Song Fang planned for them to have lunch at a hot pot restaurant outside their school. Su Xing came out of the school as well. She had been secretive lately and she had been going to No.2 High School recently.
While they were on their way out of the school, they bumped into Mu Chenxi, who was walking with a group of Hang Yuan students.
It seemed to them that she was acting like a âtour guideâ for the students of Hang Yuan. After all, they were not familiar with the surroundings of No.1 High School.
Mu Chenxi paused for a moment when she met Fu Zhiâs eyes. Then, she walked up to Fu Zhi and pulled her aside.
Although she did not like Fu Zhi, she did not hate her as much as Lu Chuwan did. She was just a bit frustrated that Fu Zhi had been able to thwart Ouyang Ya and her plan every single time.
She was certain that Fu Zhi would not be able to turn the tide this time. The news about her and Ye Shiyun had caused turmoil across the internet, and she was confident that Pure Feather would step forward to clear the situation up. Then, sheâd make Fu Zhi apologize to her, the Mu Family, and also Lu Chuwan.
Mu Chenxi was not as patient as Ouyang Ya and she always had trouble keeping her cool. They were only at the first stage of their plan, yet she approached Fu Zhi directly, wanting her to admit her mistake and help her get the cooperation with Pure Feather back.
âFu Zhi, a wise person will adapt to the circumstances. Iâm sure youâre well aware of the things happening on the internet. The odds are not in your favor, and this is just the start. Besides, donât you feel guilty about ruining someoneâs business cooperation? I advise you to apologize sincerely to me right now before the matter goes too far. Otherwise, donât blame me for whatever happens next!â
Fu Zhi did not know what Mu Chenxi was talking about. She was hungry and she wanted to get this over with as soon as possible. She thus asked, âDo you know what happened to Lu Chuwan?â
âI canât believe you still have the audacity to ask that question.â Mu Chenxi gritted her teeth. âIf you had not lured her into your trap, howââ
âThat means you still donât know.â Fu Zhi interjected. At the same time, her phone rang. She pulled her phone out and realized it was a message from the delivery man. Her parcel was going to arrive soon, so she decided to end this conversation as quickly as she could.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI gave her two chances, yet she didnât appreciate it. She left me no other choice, so I had to do it,â she said flatly.
Then, she paused for a moment before adding, âI donât care what is going on with your family, but since you are Lu Chuwanâs best friend, I advise you to learn from her mistakes so that you donât follow in her footsteps.â
âFu Zhi, donât get so cocky!â
âSheâs giving me advice? Who the hell does she think she is?!â
Mu Chenxi flung her sleeve in exasperation as she hissed, âJust you wait, Fu Zhi. Iâll surely...â
Fu Zhi interrupted her again. âNope! Iâm not going to wait for you!â
Mu Chenxi was stumped.
âWhy donât you want to wait? Why do you have to be so hard on me?!â
Not wanting to give up just yet, Mu Chenxi said, âThen donât come and cry to me in the future!â
Then, she turned around and left with tears in her eyes.
The crowd looked at her speechlessly.
Lu Yumo commented, âAre all ugly people so dramatic? I donât understand how she could become an actress with her behavior and appearance.â
âWell...â Su Xing chimed in. âDonât you think her skin is fair? If you watch closely, you will realize that she is as fair as Fu Zhi. I happened to come across her drama a few days ago. Perhaps itâs because of the special effects, but her skin looked as if it was glowing in front of the camera. Because of this, sheâs regarded as a beauty goddess on Weibo and she has successfully gathered quite a lot of fans. However, I have no idea why, but her skin condition has deteriorated lately. It seems to me that she has been taking medicine or she has gone through some kind of treatment.â
However, Su Xing could not be sure of that. At the same time, Lu Yumo suddenly remembered something and whispered to Fu Zhi, âAn agent and a celebrity came to our shop and bought the Beauty Pill from us last month, but Iâve not heard from them since.â
âDonât worry. We can stop selling the Beauty Pill if itâs not selling well. After all, itâs not our main product.â

The private room in the hot pot restaurant was so huge that it could house more than 20 students.
By the time Fu Zhi arrived, the boss had finished preparing everything.
Other than Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu, most of them did not have much of an appetite, especially Lu Yumo. After he consumed six plates of lamb slices, he wiped his mouth with a paper towel and said, âOur mom called me just now and asked me about the things people are saying on Weibo. How are we going to deal with it now?â

On the other side of the city, in a certain luxurious residential area...
Ye Shiyun was browsing through âRed Sunâ for the third time. His agent, Xiao Bai, came into the pink villa. He stood in front of the mirror for a moment and after he ascertained that all buttons were buttoned up, he pulled the book out of Ye Shiyunâs hand and said, âOur cooperation with the Mu Family has been terminated. Anyway, I have something else to ask you.â
Leaning against the couch, Ye Shiyun said, âGo ahead.â
He took the book back from Xiao Bai. Then, he took a bottle of disinfectant out of the drawer, sprayed the book, and wiped it with a clean paper towel before putting the book underneath a pillow that Xiao Bai could not reach.
Xiao Bai did not know what to say. He began to wonder if he was a virus or a germ instead of a human.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Bai threw his phone on the table and asked, âWho is the girl in the video? Didnât I already tell you this? If youâre dating someone, then you have to tell us. Now that youâve been exposed, we need to figure out a solution as soon as possible. Give me the phone number of the girl in the video. I will talk to her, and the company will help you release a statement.â
From Xiao Baiâs perspective, both Fu Zhi and Ye Shiyun were extremely good-looking. He was thinking of signing Fu Zhi on as an actress for his company, so he could not allow Ye Shiyun to provoke Fu Zhi.
âThereâs no need to clarify anything. The netizens have already clarified this for us.â
Xiao Bai asked, âWhat do you mean?â
Ye Shiyun pointed at the comments section. âCanât you see it? The netizens are already saying Fu Zhi is Pure Feather.â
Xiao Bai was stumped.
âIt seems to me that something is wrong with your brain,â Xiao Bai said worriedly as he shook his head. âHaving a girlfriend is a small issue, but lying to your fans is a big no-no. Do you really love this girl that much?â
Ye Shiyun took a sip of his orange juice and nodded. âYeah.â
âHave you forgotten about your dream? Didnât you say you were going to make a lot of money so that you could buy a pink villa for your long-lost sister?â
âYeah, and I already bought it. I will transfer the ownership of this villa to Fu Zhi soon.â
Xiao Bai asked, âWhat about your sister?â
âFu Zhi is my sister.â
âIsnât she your girlfriend?â
Ye Shiyun frowned. âGirlfriend? Who told you that? Sheâs my biological sister.â
