“What’s going on?” Mei Shu turned around to look at him.
Mei Mu wanted to approach and strike up a conversation, but seeing Lu Yan’s grim expression, she hesitated and didn’t dare to move.
“Is there a conflict between Lu Yan and Mei Shu?”
“I haven’t heard anything! But with his aggressive demeanor, did Mei Shu offend him?”
“If she offends the Lu family, there won’t be a good outcome! I had just started to consider her as my goddess, and then she ran into a stroke of bad luck. I think I’ll just continue to like Mei Mu!”
She had become the backup option!
Mei Mu was itching with hatred, feeling extremely wronged but had to endure it.
If she left now, she would truly lose her position at No.l High School!
“Brother Lu Yan, is there something you need with my sister?” Mei Mu approached with a worried expression, subconsciously leaning towards Lu Yan.
Lu Yan furrowed his brows and stepped aside, standing next to Mei Shu. “I rushed away after yesterday’s incident, worried that you might encounter trouble. Are you alright? Has anyone been bullying you?”
Originally, he had an icy expression, but now, in front of Mei Shu, the cold iceberg had instantly melted into a pool of warm water, so warm and gentle.
Those around them were instantly dumbfounded.
Mei Mu felt stiff all over, standing awkwardly in place, not knowing how to position her hands and feet, feeling a prickling sensation on her back.
She stood next to Mei Shu, right in the center of the crowd. The contrasting way Lu Yan treated the two sisters was evident.
What was there left to be misunderstood by others?
“I’m fine. Who would dare to bully me? Let’s go, let’s go to class.” Mei Shu glanced indifferently at the embarrassed Mei Mu standing nearby, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of her mouth, then calmly walked away with Lu Yan.
The two of them walked side by side on the path leading to the teaching building, their figures exceptionally well-matched.
“No wonder I’ve heard that the Mei and Lu families have a good relationship! 1 used to think it was just rumors when I saw Mei Mu flattering Lu Yan and the two of them acting like strangers at school. Now that I see Mei Shu and Lu Yan walking together, 1 realize that it’s not about the relationship between their families, it’s about Lu Yan and Mei Shu’s relationship!”
“If that’s the case, Mei Shu is the real heiress of the Mei family! Lu Yan has always ignored Mei Mu because she is the daughter of that home-wrecker?”
“That must be it! I never expected that our school’s Campus Belle had such a shady background! She’s no longer my goddess!”
“What campus belle? I think Mei Mu looks better than her! I demand a reevaluation of the Campus Belle title, and Mei Shu must participate!”
The discussions echoed incessantly.
Mei Mu didn’t know how she managed to walk into the classroom.
Along the way, she heard praises for Mei Shu and criticism directed at herself.
Since she was accepted into the Mei family by her father, officially becoming the young lady of the Mei family, who dared to speak ill of her behind her back?
Thinking about those baseless insults, Mei Mu felt as if she had been dragged back to the past in an instant.
She and her mother had to live in the midst of others’ gossip, and her classmates even mocked her for not having a father.
Back then, Wang Yue comforted her, telling her to endure a little longer, that once her father brought the two of them back home, everything would be fine!
But now, Mei Shu had just returned, and her life had turned upside down!
She didn’t want any of the inheritance left by that b*tch. She just wanted Mei Shu to go back to the countryside!
Mei Mu entered the classroom in a daze, the noisy voices around her suddenly disappeared.
She looked up in surprise at her classmates inside the classroom and immediately saw Li Hua staring at her resentfully from the podium.
“Why are you coming to school?” Mei Mu instinctively asked.
“Why can’t I come to school? You did such a malicious thing to harm me, and I can’t even come to school?” Li Hua knew she had embarrassed herself this time, but if she didn’t vent this anger, she wouldn’t be able to rest even in death!
“Li Hua, I talked to your family yesterday.” Mei Mu furrowed her brow tightly, deciding not to continue speaking.
If she made herself clear, neither of them would be pleased.
“You talked to my family, but did you ask for my opinion?”
After Li Hua returned home yesterday, she cried so much, heartbroken. Later, she didn’t know what happened, but she fell into a deep sleep on her bed. When she woke up, she saw her hesitant parents.
At first, she was surprised, but then she saw the money on their coffee table…
Mei Mu was humiliating her with that money!
Who wanted her filthy money!
“Li Hua, stop making a scene. Let’s talk outside, and I’ll explain everything to you.” Mei Mu grabbed her hand without asking for permission and forcefully pulled her out of the classroom.
Li Hua couldn’t break free, her body still weak from the medicine she drank yesterday. Now, she was completely powerless, allowing herself to be dragged to the rooftop.
“Why did you bring me here? You, the forever hidden illegitimate daughter of the Mei family! A scheming woman!”
Mei Mu’s face also darkened as she coldly stared at Li Hua. “Don’t forget, you were the one who offered to bring the cup of water. Even if you call the police, it won’t change anything..”
