He spoke and sat in the car, driving away in his sports car. The fallen leaves on the ground were lifted by the wind, floating in mid-air, conveying a sense of loneliness.

“Do I even have his number?” She wondered, casually flipping through her phone, only to be surprised. In her contact list, the first two names were I-Xiao

Mohan and 2-Han Changqing.

Dragging her aching foot, she took small steps forward.

Underneath the sign of “S city Art College”, many young men and women dressed in bright, attractive clothes came and went. There were even more people coming and going in luxurious cars. And as always, Gu Chuyan preferred to keep a low profile.

“Gu Chuyan, why are you just arriving now? Today is Professor Li’s class; if you’re late, you’re in for it.” Suddenly, a woman, striding over swiftly, took her by the arm and led her inside.

“Yao Rong, slow down! My foot hurts.” Gu Chuyan said.

Being dragged by the short-haired girl, she couldn’t keep up and stumbled to the ground. Falling onto her knees, she let out a soft moan from the pain.

“What happened?” Seeing this, Yao Rong quickly came back to help her up and asked worriedly.

Yao Rong, with a standard melon-seed face framed by her shoulder bob cut, her lips slightly thick, radiated an indescribable sensuality.

“I’m just a little hurt, it’s nothing! Let’s go,” she said, not wanting to talk about it.

Yao Rong was her best friend. Because of school break, Yao Rong had taken a special trip abroad and was therefore unaware of Gu Chuyan’s situation. As Gu Chuyan was not one to complain, she naturally did not bring it up.

“Crash.” No sooner had Gu Chuyan and Yao Rong walked inside than something was thrown, landing on Gu Chuyan.

A woman with a cigarette in her mouth walked up to her, took a drag, and blew smoke in her face. “Just a week’s vacation, and look what we find. Gu Chuyan, didn’t think you, pretending to be so pure, would let yourself be kept by someone.”

“Come on, tell your fellow students about the scandalous things you’ve done,” the woman’s voice was harsh, as if she had come prepared.

“Xie Tianli, enough!” Seeing this, Yao Rong rushed forward to push her away.

But Xie Tianli had been prepared, and she slapped Yao Rong in return. “Yao Rong, mind your business! You’re best friends, I bet you’re no cleaner.” The whole classroom fell eerily silent in an instant.

Everyone was enjoying the spectacle, particularly Xie Tianli! With her influential background and street-wise attitude, no one dared to cross her, not to mention her boyfriend was rich.

Two police officers entered the room and glanced at the principal.

“Gu Chuyan is implicated in an assault case. We would like to take her in for questioning, ” they announced. Clearly, this incident was not as straightforward as it seemed.

“Officers, we have some matters to resolve first! Taking a student from school might not be appropriate. Ms. Gu Chuyan is already in the process of withdrawal. Perhaps, you could wait outside?” The principal had already made up his mind.

“Alright,” the police replied, not insisting on taking her in immediately.

A couple of professors wanted to speak up for her but were held back by others.

“Principal, you’re expelling me without even knowing the whole story? Aren’t you even going to ask what happened?” Gu Chuyan sounded bitter.

“You attacked someone, the entire class witnessed it. We have a letter of complaint,” The principal responded, accepting a complaint letter handed over by his secretary.

Everyone had signed it, except for Yao Rong.

“Heh,” she suddenly laughed, a laugh filled with desperation.

So, no matter if it was the Gu Family or the school, the hypocrisy of these people…. they were all the same!
