After seeing that Song Fan didn’t express any objections, Song Kai felt quite pleased. It seemed she was also pleased about his decision to attend the class.

Unaware of Song Kai’s misunderstanding, Song Fan quietly opened her textbook to pass the time.

With Song Kai engaged in conversation with Song Fan up front, the students in the classroom started to whisper amongst themselves. “Who do you think is right, Song Yin or Tingting?”

Student A asserted confidently, “It must be Song Yin. The company’s dealings are the most reliable.”

“But Song Yin doesn’t even work in the company. Why would Sunflower want to see her?” Student B countered.

Student A responded smugly, “You guys don’t get it. Song Yin is the Song Family’s daughter. If she wants to meet with Sunflower, Stars Technologies will have to find a way.”

Student C, who had been eavesdropping, nodded in agreement. “That does make sense.”

As the discussion was no longer hushed, it reached Song Kai’s ears. He looked puzzled as he asked, “Who claimed that Yinyin met Sunflower? And why would Star Technologies agree to meet her because of her family background?”

Student A responded, “I heard that the two companies are collaborating.”

Song Kai became even more perplexed. Why hadn’t he heard anything about this?

Song Yin’s complexion turned pale upon hearing Student A’s words. She hadn’t anticipated Song Kai’s presence in the class. Knowing he was well-informed about the company’s affairs, it would be challenging to deceive him.

Song Yin quickly approached and asked, “Fourth Brother, I heard there’s a new motorcycle model. How do you rate its performance?”

Her intention was to divert Song Kai’s attention away from the current topic. As expected, Song Kai eagerly began discussing the motorcycle, much to Song Yin’s relief.

In the midst of this, Student A glanced at his phone and suddenly exclaimed,

‘”Future City’ just announced that all players must have the same gender as their ID card. Otherwise, they won’t be allowed to enter the game.”

Student B quickly approached. “Is Sunflower online?”

“Not yet,” Student A shook his head, adding, “But the official announcement is out. The top ten players on the server, including Sunflower, must have the same gender as indicated on their ID card. They’re warning everyone to be cautious about potential deception.”

As he spoke, he cast a disbelieving look at Song Yin.

Song Yin hadn’t expected ‘Future City’ to make such a statement. It was almost as if they knew what she had said in class and decided to expose her lie directly.

Song Fan remained seated, wearing a smile that she couldn’t hide. She had asked Hua Yue to release this statement. She couldn’t tolerate Song Yin using her name for deceit.

Tingting stood up and chuckled. “Just moments ago, she seemed so confident as if we were falsely accusing her. Now, everyone knows she was lying. She even claimed that your company has a partnership with Star Technologies. I think she’s been lying all along.”

Song Yin realized she was in a difficult spot. Song Kai frowned and asked,

“Yinyin, why did you say that our company has a partnership with Star Technologies?”

Song Yin’s entire body trembled, and she found herself speechless. Ultimately, she could only hunch down on the ground and let her tears flow. At that moment, the class bell rang.

Song Fan rapped her knuckles gently on the desk in front of her and declared, “If you have something to say, save it for after class. It’s time for the lesson now.”

With that, she began to write the topic on the blackboard. Song Yin returned to her seat, feeling as though every passing minute and second was sheer torment. Everyone around her was surreptitiously casting glances in her direction, undoubtedly discussing her exposed lie.

Song Yin had never experienced such profound embarrassment before. Her lie had been unveiled right there, and she hadn’t even been granted the opportunity to explain herself.

She glared angrily at Song Fan. Ever since Song Fan’s return, her life had grown significantly more complicated. Initially, Tingting had been her school companion, but now she had turned against her and was no longer willing to support her.

This was precisely why she had resorted to lies to capture the boys’ attention.

She had longed to satisfy her desire to be the center of attention. If not for Song Fan, she wouldn’t have felt compelled to lie in the first place.

Song Yin remained unaware that her perspective was wrong. She continued to harbor her resentment toward Song Fan, casting hateful glances in her direction.

Once the class concluded, Tingting disregarded the presence of the teacher and approached Song Yin. “You really need to improve your lying skills. It’s been barely a few minutes, and your deceit has already been exposed. You claimed to have seen Sunflower, but you didn’t even know their gender.”

Song Yin hung her head and suppressed her anger. She had the urge to charge at Tingting and scratch her face, but she understood that doing so would reveal her true intentions.

Instead, she continued to cry in silence, hoping that someone would take pity on her and come to her defense..
