“Jiang Xue’er?! She finally appeared!!”
“Hiss, isn’t she the Campus Belle, Jiang Xue’er?”
“I saw her picture a few months ago. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I haven’t forgotten her.”
“But, why is there a man beside her?”
“Hehe, I guess he wants to confess to Jiang Xue’er. Unfortunately, he’ll be rejected again.”
The students on campus naturally wanted to watch the drama unfold. After all, Jiang Xue’er, which was Pear!’s real name, was famous for being an ice-cold beauty. She would always ignore everyone who went after her.
During her time on campus, there were quite a number of men who confessed to her. All of them were rejected by her, no exceptions.
However, what happened next made the students’ jaws drop. Under the gazes of countless students, Pearl reached out and grabbed Li Cheng’s hand.
“D*mn, what’s going on? Jiang Xue’er has a boyfriend?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible, I can’t accept it!”
“Sob, sob, sob… My first love has been stolen.”
“Hiss, who is this man? Rumor has it that Young Master Zhang has been chasing after Jiang Xue’er for a few months. If this man doesn’t have any background, I’m afraid he won’t be able to leave this school!”
“Who cares about him? Who asked him to hold my goddess’s hand!”
Naturally, Li Cheng could not be bothered by their gossip.
At this time, Pearl had already found her teacher. Looking at the two people holding hands, the female teacher’s pupils constricted as her gaze rested on Li Cheng.
As someone who had been through this, the closeness of Pearl and Li Cheng’s relationship could be seen at a glance by the female teacher. She asked, “Little Xue’er, what are you doing?”
Pearl did not beat around the bush and said, “I’m here to drop out of school today. Teacher, thank you for taking care of me for so many years.”
“Thi:
The female teacher was stunned.
She and Pearl’s father were good friends. It was also under her care and protection that Pearl was able to become who she was today.
‘As if she could hear her teacher’s concern, Pearl continued, “Don’t worry, he’ll take good care of me.”
Hearing this, the female teacher was stunned again. It seemed that Jiang Xue’er had found her own home.
However, as someone who was aware of her situation, Pearl’s teacher still frowned. “Young man, do you know about Little Xue’er? Do you know what kind of behemoth you’re fighting against?”
Hearing this, Li Cheng did not understand. He was fighting against a behemoth? This teacher probably did not know who was the one fighting against a behemoth.
Li Cheng smiled and replied, “Isn’t it just the Zhang Corporation? Why does it seem like they’re so powerful?”
‘The teacher’s eyes lit up. From what Li Cheng said, it seemed that Xue’er had found a boyfriend with a deeper background?
Then, the teacher asked, “What do you plan to do?”
Li Cheng shrugged. “Taking down a corporation might be easier than you think.”
‘The teacher asked, “How so?”
Li Cheng’s eyes turned cold. “Killing all of the Zhang organization’s employees with the surname Zhang.”
‘The teacher’s expression instantly froze. She almost laughed out loud. What kind of society was this? Kill them all? Why did it feel like the young man in front of her was living in a dream?
However, she could feel an almost tangible murderous aura from Li Cheng’s body. It suffocated her until she almost could not breathe. She was not sure who this young man in front of her was.
‘The teacher took a deep breath and asked, “Who exactly are you?”
Li Cheng did not explain much. He simply spat out a word. “Netherworld.”
When she heard what Li Cheng said, her eyes widened.
‘The word Netherworld was now known by everyone in the world. The teacher asked with widened eyes, “Are you really Netherworld?”
Pearl nodded and said, “That’s right, teacher. I’ve never told you this, but I’m actually Pearl.”
Hearing this, the female teacher finally came back to her senses. “So… That’s how it is.”
She finally understood. Xue’er had not been coming to campus and had always stayed at home. Although she had played online games in the past and was quite famous, she was not as crazy as she had been in the past few weeks. Even the news on television was reporting it.
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect her well.” Li Cheng stared at Pearl who was beside him and said, “With me around, no one can hurt her.”
Having said that, the female teacher did not say anything else. She would let the younger ones decide on their own matters.
After that, they exchanged a few simple greetings. Pearl thanked her teacher for taking care of her.
After bidding their farewells, Pearl quickly completed the withdrawal procedures. She carefully folded the documents and said, “Ever since that night, all of my life’s trajectories will be known to my parents.”
Li Cheng did not speak and remained silent. The grudge between Pearl and Heartless War Soul could be said to be very simple. Pearl’s father was once a collateral member of the Zhang Group.
Later on, the person that Pearl’s father assisted failed to win in the power struggle within the family and was subsequently purged.
That night, Pearl was taken away by the female teacher. Under her protection, Pearl was able to live to this age.
However, no one would have thought that a little girl who was not even three years old back then would remember everything so clearly.
Seeing this, Li Cheng smiled and said, “How about we form a marriage certificate and send it over to them?”
Hearing this, Pearl’s fair and gentle face instantly turned red. However, she revealed a smile again.
After dealing with the withdrawal process, everything was settled. Li Cheng and Pearl walked out of campus.
At this moment, a group of men in suits surrounded the two of them.
Seeing this situation, Li Cheng was stunned. Were they here to deal with him? Why was this scene exactly the same as in the novel? Why did they need him to show off?
It had to be said that a beauty like Pearl would naturally be coveted by others.
Very quickly, a man walked out from the crowd and said to Pearl, “Jiang Xue’er!”
Pearl’s expression was indifferent. “What?”
This one word successfully made the man’s face turn red with anger. He was the eldest Young Master Zhang that the students had mentioned earlier, the Crown Prince of the Zhang Group, Zhang Fan.
Just as the students had said, in order to pursue Jiang Xue‘er, he had expended a lot of effort. Of course, Pearl could not be bothered with him at all.
‘The Zhang Group was a big group run by a renowned family. They were not on the same level at all.
Zhang Fan took a deep breath and looked at Li Cheng. He asked, “This is?”
Pearl’s tone was still very calm. “My boyfriend.”
As Pearl’s words fell, Li Cheng seemed to hear the shattering of countless hearts…
