Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The teacher was so furious that he wished he could give him a slap in the face.

However, as a teacher, his responsibilities prevented him from doing so. Instead, he placed his hands behind his back and coldly said, “Tomorrow, have your parents come to the school. If this matter isn’t resolved, you will be suspended temporarily!”

Li Zhen looked at the resolute back of the teacher, fuming with anger. He also glared at Mei Shu and left with a sense of indignation.

But Mei Shu had no intention of letting him off easily.

“Stop,” she walked slowly to where Li Zhen was and looked at the others.

“Leave, I need to talk to him alone.”

“Mei Shu, don’t push your luck!” a few of them made a threatening gesture, ready to roll up their sleeves for a confrontation.

Unfortunately, Mei Shu didn’t pay any attention to them.

She raised an eyebrow and gazed down on them with a hint of disdain. “Just you guys? What can you do?”

Just as both sides were about to come to blows again, Li Zhen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, “You all go out!”

“But!”

“No more nonsense! Leave!” Li Zhen stared at Mei Shu with hatred in his eyes.

The group reluctantly left the classroom with a cold snort, leaving Mei Shu to confront Li Zhen alone.

“What do you want to say?” Li Zhen sneered at her with a sidelong glance and a roll of his eyes.

He felt that even a second of looking at her would dirt his eyes.

Mei Shu didn’t speak but took her phone out of her pocket. After a few taps on the screen, she turned up the volume on her phone.

At the same time, the beep from her phone was accompanied by the ringing of Li Zhen’s phone in his pocket.

“It’s really you,” Mei Shu hung up the call and suppressed her anger. “Why did you have someone follow me?”

Li Zhen hurriedly tried to grab his phone and, upon hearing Mei Shu’s question, looked at her with a hint of disbelief. “How do you know it was me?”

Mei Shu’s patience was exhausted, and her brows furrowed into a deep crease. “You have no right to question me. Right now, I’m the one asking you. Why did you have someone follow me?”

Li Zhen chuckled softly and, no longer struggling, decided to act stubborn. “Do you have any evidence to prove that I had someone follow you? Just because you got my phone number from somewhere?”

Mei Shu had always known the extent of his shamelessness, but this time, Li Zhen’s behavior had truly exceeded her expectations.

In her previous life, she and Li Zhen had at least had a good relationship for a while. In this life, even though they weren’t together, they had no reason to be enemies.

She didn’t understand why Li Zhen had repeatedly made her feel uncomfortable.

“Whether you say it yourself or I force you to, it doesn’t matter,” Mei Shu didn’t plan to continue wasting time with this man. He was someone of little importance to her.

“Hey, do you think you can continue hitting me all you want because I let you hit me once? Do you not know your own limits? Do you believe I’ll slap you right now?” Li Zhen arrogantly walked over and made a gesture to strike Mei Shu.

Mei Shu didn’t go looking for more evidence; instead, she directly confronted Li Zhen. She was prepared for the fact that he wouldn’t cooperate willingly.

That was okay, though. If he didn’t want to cooperate, she had plenty of ways to make him obedient.

She grabbed the hand he used to strike and didn’t intend to leave any room for doubt this time. She pressed him to the ground and delivered punches that would cause excruciating pain without leaving any visible marks.

This time, she was ruthless. Her little brother was in the hospital, and she only wanted to use Li Zhen to vent her anger and seek revenge for her brother.

In this life, she had already sworn to herself to protect her younger brothers from any harm. Little did she know that now, because of the despicable actions of Li Zhen, her commitment had been broken!

It was all because of this person’s shameless behavior that her brother was suffering from concussions!

He deserved to die!

“Hit me all you want, maybe you’ll kill me, but you’ll have to accompany me in death!” Li Zhen clenched his teeth and didn’t even cry out in pain.

Mei Shu wasn’t in a hurry; she had many ways to torment Li Zhen.

They remained in the classroom together until darkness fell. Li Zhen was covered in sweat, weak, and the stubbornness that had been in his eyes had long disappeared.

“Damn woman, you’re really ruthless. Have I ever treated you badly before? When you were bullied by Mei Mu, didn’t I stand up for you? Why are you doing this to me?” Li Zhen lay on the cold ground, and a tear slid down from the corner of his eye.

Mei Shu looked at him with indifference, squatted down beside him, and pulled his collar, “Tell me, why did you have someone follow me? I’m asking you for the last time.”

At this moment, Li Zhen had been tormented to the point of feeling deflated, lacking even the strength to move a finger, let alone resist Mei Shu’s restraint.

He exerted all the strength he could muster to turn his eyes in her direction and forced a bitter smile. “Answer me first, have you ever had a place for me in your heart?”

“No,” Mei Shu replied without any expression. “Li Zhen, whether in the past or in the future, I will never like you. Just give up on that idea.”

Li Zhen closed his eyes with a sense of resignation and fell back to the ground.. After a long silence, he spoke in a low voice, “If I were to say that I had someone follow you because I couldn’t accept it, you probably wouldn’t believe me, would you?”
