Yu Zhao smiled but did not say anything.
Seeing this, Gu Li immediately jumped and grabbed Yu Zhaoâs shoulder excitedly. âZhaozhao, did you already know that your points will be deducted? Thatâs why you donât seem to care. Why?â
Yu Zhao raised her eyebrows and said noncommittally, âBecause thereâs something called cash in this world that can break the natural growth pattern of common people.â
Gu Li was stunned. She had never thought that Yu Zhao would admit to this so frankly.
Since the beginning of school, she had been alone. She didnât even have her parents to send her to school, nor did she have a word of concern from her parents.
If it wasnât for the fact that Gu Li and Yu En were in the same Math Olympiad Class before, she might have thought that Yu En was a kind and gentle girl.
Yu Zhao didnât refute any of this, except for the slap on the field that morning.
Perhaps Yu Zhao could have told everyone about Yu Enâs fake actions, but she chose to remain silent.
How could such a straightforward girl be bothered to bully others?
Unless someone provoked her.
And everything she did, without exception, was to show everyone that she was indeed a victim.
Her unwillingness to explain and clarify did not mean that she was the kind of person who would be hurt by rumors.
âZhaozhao, do you have any difficulties?â Gu Li held her arm, her eyes slightly warm. âIf you need my help, I⦠I can help you.â
Yu Zhao looked at Gu Li gratefully. âThank you, but thereâs no need for that.â
âWhy are you doing this?â Gu Li was anxious. âArenât we friends? Itâs only right for friends to help each other out.â
âI really donât need it.â Yu Zhao shook her head.
She was used to fighting alone. If Gu Li interfered, she would have to take care of her instead.
At this moment, the sound of a phone ringing interrupted their conversation.
Yu Zhao glanced at the caller ID, raised her eyebrows, and hung up the phone. âIâm going out for a while.â
âYou just came back but youâre leaving again?â
Yu Zhao didnât turn her head, but raised her hand and waved it behind her.
Seeing this, Gu Li could not help but burst out laughing. âAlright. Go and do your work.â
Yu Zhao walked out of the dormitory and stood downstairs, waiting for Lu Kun to pick her up.
The afternoon wind blew gently, blowing away the fine bangs on the girlâs forehead, revealing her tired eyes.
She raised her head and let the cool wind brush across her face as if it could relieve some of her fatigue.
At this moment, an eye-catching Koenigsegg suddenly stopped beside her, and a familiar male voice sounded, âGet in.â
Yu Zhao turned and looked at Lu Kun, who was sitting in the driverâs seat. She pursed her lips indifferently and said, â I think Iâll be labeled as a sugar baby on the school forum tomorrow.â
Lu Kun glanced at her and handed her the tablet. âIâve found it. His name is Xing Lin, and heâs also a new student at Capital University. However, heâs not the one who was injured.â
âJust this little bit of information?â Yu Zhao was obviously not satisfied with Lu Kunâs investigation results.
Lu Kun raised his eyebrows and said, âNot only that, but Iâll also bring you to see him now, as well as the injured man behind him.â
Hearing this, Yu Zhaoâs face finally showed a hint of a smile.
âBy the way, the teacher also said that the ninth brother was quite angry when he heard that you came here without him,â Lu Kun suddenly blurted out.
At the mention of the ninth brother, Yu Zhaoâs eyes flickered with hidden emotion. âNinth brother, is he ready to come back?â
âIf nothing unexpected happens.â
Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at a teahouse.
When Yu Zhao entered the room and saw the man sitting by the window, she was stunned for a moment.
Was he Xing Lin?
The man was dressed in a casual outfit, a black t-shirt, and white pants. It looked very comfortable.
He leaned back in his chair. His long legs crossed, his left hand casually placed on the table, and his right hand holding a celadon teacup while gently swaying. His movements were elegant and noble.
âHi.â
At that moment, Xing Lin, who was standing beside Gu Li, glanced at Yu Zhao and reached out his hand. âIâm Xing Lin, the middleman this time.â
Yu Zhaoâs gaze paused in the air for a moment before finally landing on a dark-skinned man. Her expression did not change. âHello, Iâm Master Rizhaoâs assistant.â
âAssistant?â Suddenly, the man who had been silent said, âYu Zhao, a freshman in the School of Biology of Capital University. Youâre Yu Yuanâs only biological daughter. You were sent abroad for further studies when you were ten. When you were fifteen, you returned to the country to get the will and disappeared from the capital again.
âSo, Student Yu Zhao, who exactly are you?â
