Chapter 570: Meeting Her Beloved’s Daughter

Yun Xirou collapsed onto her knees in the middle of the empty schoolyard. She had her face covered and was sobbing inconsolably. At that moment, she did not regret anything—she did not regret scheming against Han Jianyou. If anything, she was filled with disgust and annoyance toward him. Why did he use such a technique? Who was he even trying to impress? Why could he not stay the same as before? As long as he was the same Han Jianyou, Yun Xirou was sure that as long as Han Jianyou was willing to stay the same, she could have easily controlled this situation.

It was all his fault! That boy was the one who ruined her. No matter what Han Ruochen said, the truth was that Han Jianyou was the one who fooled her. If he had studied from the beginning, would she have been mistaken in thinking that he was not good at studying? Who told him to hide his skills and talent? He was the one who fooled them all!

Liu Ming sighed when he saw Yun Xirou sobbing and crying. Ji Yuan was no better. Seeing their condition, he knew that the two girls and the boys were not in any condition to study today. Running a hand through his hair, feeling utterly frustrated, he said in an annoyed tone, “You all go back to your dormitories. I will go and ask for leave on your behalf.”

These students might be unwilling to work hard, but there were students who were trying to do their best. He could not let these idiots ruin their hard work. If they came to the classroom looking like this, they would certainly make everyone uncomfortable.

It would be twice as troublesome; it would be better to send them away. Let them stay in the dormitory and calm down first. There was no need for him to bring these troublemakers back with him. Anyway, he was a good student, and if he explained his reasons, the teachers would agree with him.

After he finished speaking, Liu Ming pursed his lips and returned to the staff room. He had had enough of their troubles. He was their class monitor— not their nanny; why would he care about them if they were in trouble? It was not him who asked them to do it!

Once Liu Ming walked away, Ji Yuan burst into tears. She turned on her heel and pushed Yun Xirou down on the ground. She angrily snapped at Yun Xirou, “Are you happy now!? Yun Xirou, you are really good. You were the one who came up with this plan, and yet you pushed all the blame on our heads. At most, we listened to you—so you should have taken responsibility!”

“You were the one who told us to lie and promised that nothing would go wrong and yet such a thing happened? Who should we turn to now?”

“Now you have ruined yourself as well as us. It is simply terrible of you!”

“This permanent stain will follow all of us for the rest of our lives.”

Ji Yuan yelled at Yun Xirou at the top of her voice. She hated that she had listened to Yun Xirou, and she hated herself. Why did she listen to Yun Xirou and lie to Teacher Xu? So what if Han Jianyou rejected her? After seeing his sister, she realised that Han Jianyou was used to seeing pretty faces and compared to his sister, she was nothing in comparison! How could he even consider her? She was like an ugly potato in front of his sister!

And yet because of Yun Xirou’s manipulative words, she had caused her own ruin with her own hands.

“Yun Xirou, you will not live a good life!” Ji Yuan cursed with all her might before covering her face with her hands and running away. Her sobs could still be heard as she headed to the dormitory.

The three male students parted their lips. They, too, wanted to say something, but when they saw Yun Xirou’s crying face, they realised that there was no point in saying anything to her. They had already received the demerit, and even if they made a fuss, nothing would change; instead, they would be charged with the accusation of bullying a girl. It was better to ignore this matter. Anyway, they were not good students and knew that they were not going to get into good universities from the start.

So, even if they received demerits, nothing was going to change for them. At worst, they would get even worse universities.

The three boys also left, leaving Yun Xirou to cry alone. When she saw that everyone had left her, Yun Xirou ran out of the school. However, after she ran out of the school, Yun Xirou did not know where to go. If she went back home, then she would be scolded by her mother. After all, Mother Yun was a stern woman and was very careful with the studies of her children. If she found out that she had received a demerit, even if her father doted on her, he would not be able to save her.

Her mind was in complete turmoil, and she was really scared to go back home.

At the exact same time, Meng Yunhan was walking back home after buying some grains and dry goods. She could not buy fresh meat and could only buy some jerky. After the old hag announced that she would be the one taking care of the groceries, Meng Yunhan had no choice but to buy all the groceries. Now she was forced to count every single copper coin!

“Why doesn’t that old hag die? Every day she causes trouble for me. It would be so much better if she died.”

As she reached the corner where the old banyan tree was, Meng Yunhan, who was muttering angrily, did not see where she was going and ended up colliding with someone.

“Watch where you are going—”
