Zhao Zheng couldn’t hide his urge to sow discord between them.

But his words still hit her in the heart.

Why did Yan Rusheng, the man out of her reach, try so hard to secure her a place in T University?

She had been pondering over this for a few days. She wasn’t sure if he had noticed her affection for him, hence despised her and wanted to send her as far away as possible.

She didn’t say a word. But her shining eyes couldn’t hide her anticipation for Zhao Zheng to tell her why Yan Rusheng wanted her to go to T University.

Zhao Zheng smirked. “Last week, he invited a newly appointed official for lunch. Secretary Wu has already been given the sack.”

Bai Jing’s eyes widened and she paled.

Zhao Zheng had expected this reaction from her and he smirked. “You probably thought that what you and your mother did would go unnoticed.”

Bai Jing nervously shook her head. “I don’t know what you’re saying.”

She clenched her fists in her pockets and she turned to leave.

“Bai Jing, this is my number. You can come to me tomorrow after you’ve thought it through. Attending Yizhong’s anniversary will definitely benefit you.”

Zhao Zheng suddenly slipped a piece of paper into her pocket.

Bai Jing ignored him and quickened her pace, getting as far away from him as possible.

How did he know about this?

Nobody knew about it except that woman. Even Lei Yong was kept out of the loop.

As for Secretary Wu, he definitely wouldn’t leak the information since his career was on the line.

So how did he know?

‘Bai Jing, your phone...’

Suddenly, Bai Jing recalled something. She halted in her footsteps. Her gaze became dark and cold.

Su Yue!

Su Yue was holding her phone when her mother sent her the message regarding Secretary Wu’s situation. So Su Yue must’ve seen it and told Xuxu. That must be it.

She knew that Yan Rusheng sending her overseas was for her own good.

But he was obviously disappointed with her. She was filthy.

He said ‘I hope you don’t disappoint your father’ . So he was only treating her well because her father had saved his life.

Hatred flashed across her eyes when she thought about it.

She unclenched her fist and gripped tightly onto the slip of paper that Zhao Zheng had placed in her pocket.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

‘Su Yue, you’ve betrayed me time and time again. You’ve ruined his image of me and I won’t let you off.’

...

There were many well-known alumni at Yizhong’s 100th anniversary.

Some of them traveled all the way here just for the occasion. There were writers, celebrities, entrepreneurs, professors...

But alumni like Yan Rusheng and Ming Ansheng—young and well-known—were few. So, they were the center of attention wherever they stood.

They were very eye-catching.

The venue where they held many celebrations and tea sessions was decorated luxuriously and extravagantly.

Yan Rusheng was wearing a white shirt and black pants. He was standing in a subtle corner but still, many people went up to greet him.
