Although the Ge family was rich compared with ordinary families, it was barely comparable to Lisa and Pegasus Entertainment. Both Lisa and Pegasus Entertainment had over billions of yuan in assets, while the Ge family only had hundreds of millions of yuan in wealth.
“Ge Haodong, you’re just an illegitimate son of the Ge family. You don’t have the qualification to judge me!” Criticized by Ge Haodong, Ge Jiaying lost her temper and attacked him.
Being humiliated by Ge Jiaying, Ge Haodong wasn’t annoyed, because it was true that he was an illegitimate son of the Ge family, but he didn’t care about that. He was the only son of the Ge family, and the Ge family valued boys above girls, otherwise the Ge family wouldn’t have brought him back. Therefore, the Ge family’s wealth would be his sooner or later.
“Even if I’m an illegitimate son, I’m the only son and sole heir of its wealth, so it’s my responsibility to protect it,” said Ge Haodong with a provocative smile.
“You…” Ge Jiaying was furious. If it weren’t for this illegitimate son, the Ge family’s wealth would be hers. Unfortunately, this illegitimate son showed up all of a sudden.
Because of that, Ge Jiaying hated Ge Haodong to death, but she didn’t dare to kill him.
“Alright, that’s all I can say. I hope you can bear it in mind, or I’ll have to report it to father,” said Ge Haodong, walking away and leaving Ge Jiaying behind.
“Ge Haodong!”
Ge Jiaying was furious, but she could do nothing about it, because she knew that her father would side with him. She had no position in the Ge family now.
Ge Jiaying walked into the ladies’ room again and didn’t come out until she composed herself.
When she was back in the hall, Ge Jiaying stopped trying to strike up a conversation with Lisa, because Lisa’s attitude told her everything. She was unwilling to embarrass herself again.
It wasn’t because she had realized her fault. One of the reasons was that Ge Jiaying was too proud to please Lisa once more after being embarrassed by her.
Anyway, Ge Jiaying didn’t stop trying to strike up a conversation with all the other directors and producers.
In such an event, normally no one would deliberately show dislike towards another person. Even if they met someone they disliked, they would still be polite at least on the surface.
The party was over at 8 pm, and all the people left one after another.
Before they left, Lisa already disappeared with Yeji. They took off their gowns beforehand, because it would be too noticeable if they went back to their schools in gowns.
Lisa planned to drive Yeji back to Capital Film Academy first, then she would go to the Capital University.
Because they went to Haicheng District from the city center, there was a long distance with isolated roads.
When they were on their way to Haicheng District on an isolated road, Lisa suddenly sensed the strong air of two cultivators.
She got anxious all of a sudden, because she was worried that either Jungkook or Taehee might encounter people of the Jing family.
Although there were many cultivators in the capital and she might be wrong, Lisa was still worried because she cared about Jungkook and Taehee. Therefore, she parked the car by the roadside.
“What’s wrong? Is there any problem with the car?” asked Yeji.
“Not really, i just feel the air here is quite fresh. Why don’t we go to have a walk?” said Lisa.
“Sure! I drank a little tonight, and I need to clear my mind,” said Yeji. She didn’t think it was a bad idea.
Lisa needed to drive, so she didn’t drink earlier, but Yeji drank a lot, so she really needed to clear her mind.
Although this place was isolated, Yeji wasn’t afraid at all. Lisa was very strong and she wasn’t weak at all. Even if anyone dared to hurt them, they wouldn’t be harmed.
Therefore, they got out of the car.
Afterwards, Lisa used her Jade Eyes to see where the air of cultivators came from. She had to make sure of it.
It turned out that the two cultivators were in a fight at the mountain 200 meters away from the road. One of them wasn’t Jungkook or Taehee, but Hyunjae, while the other was obviously at a higher level than Hyunjae.
Since she saw them, Lisa had to do something.
Although the flood dragon wasn’t by her side now and she might lose, Hyunjae could help her so it shouldn’t be a problem.
Lisa then took out a power crystal at once and gave it to Yeji. “Yeji, take it to get rid of the effect of alcohol. You can drive back before me. I need to deal with something right now.”
“Boss, it’s an isolated place.” Hearing Lisa’s words, Yeji was shocked. They were in an isolated place now. What did Lisa need to do right here?
Yeji felt anxious and uneasy.
“I just got a piece of news that a fugitive criminal is fleeing into this mountain, so I’m going to catch him. Relax, I’ll be fine. You know my abilities, right?” Lisa made up an excuse.
“But…” Yeji was still worried, but she also knew that Lisa wouldn’t change her mind once she made a decision. It was useless no matter what she said right now. “Fine, you must be careful. Don’t forget to send me a message once you’re done.”
“Sure,” said Lisa, then rapidly ran to the mountain. Her speed amazed Yeji, because it was too fast to be real.
After a long while, Yeji regained her senses. Without delay, she took the power crystal Lisa gave her before getting in the car and leaving.
She was alone, so she had better not stay there any longer. It wasn’t safe.
Although there was a distance of 200 meters to the mountain, Lisa reached them within 10 seconds.
Once someone was approaching, the two in a fight felt it, but they had no intention of avoiding it. As soon as they stopped, they saw Lisa.
“Who are you?” The cultivator stared at Lisa in annoyance. He was surprised by the unbelievable speed of this mortal.
“What are you doing here?”
Hyunjae was taken aback seeing Lisa, then frowned, because he was worried that Lisa might be in danger.
Hearing Hyunjae’s words, the strange cultivator figured out that he knew this girl.
“To help you,” said Lisa.
Although Hyunjae was aware that Lisa was extraordinarily strong and had magical skills, he was facing a cultivator who was even at a higher level than him.
The strange cultivator laughed at Lisa when he heard what she said. “You’re only an ordinary person. You’re no match for me.”
He could feel that Lisa was stable and had a habit of practicing kung fu, but she was merely a mortal who was barely comparable to him.
He believed that Lisa dared to say that because she didn’t know they were cultivators. Even though she knew Hyunjae, she might not be aware of his real identity.
“I can’t defeat you on my own, but the result might be different if I cooperate with him.” Lisa smiled with great confidence.
Hyunjae agreed with Lisa. Although neither of them could defeat the cultivator alone, the situation would be different if they worked together.
Besides, since Lisa already came, there was no reason for him to chase her away. Even if she was willing to leave right now, the cultivator might not be willing to let her go. Therefore, Hyunjae said, “Sure.”
Hearing Hyunjae’s answer, the cultivator was surprised. He couldn’t feel any air of cultivation from Lisa, but Hyunjae agreed to cooperate.
It was obvious that this girl wasn’t ordinary. However, he didn’t think it was a big deal.
“Really? If so, let’s see what the result will be!” said the cultivator with disdain, then attacked Hyunjae and Lisa without delay. Hyunjae and Lisa fought back at once.
Cultivators fought against each other with magical power. If Lisa was really an ordinary person, she absolutely couldn’t stand it and would be beaten at any second, but she wasn’t.
At this time, Lisa didn’t bother to hide her magical power any longer, so she directly used magical power to fight against the cultivator.
When Hyunjae and the cultivator sensed the sudden strong magical power from Lisa’s body, both of them were shocked. To their surprise, Lisa had hidden such strong magical power in her body.
Because they were astonished, both of them were distracted for a while. Lisa seized this chance and attacked the cultivator like lightning. She took out a bronze dagger to stab the cultivator’s heart.
It was dark, so they didn’t pay much attention to Lisa’s hands, so they weren’t very surprised by the dagger which suddenly appeared in her hand.
In the blink of an eye, Lisa reached the front of the cultivator. The cultivator regained his senses trying to avoid it, but it was too late. He could only tilt his body and the dagger which was about to stab into his heart slightly cut his arm.
Although Lisa put cold magical power into the dagger and made it super sharp, she was facing a cultivator at a high level after all. It hurt the cultivator, but the injury wasn’t serious.
“Are you a cultivator as well? Why couldn’t I feel your level of cultivation?” asked the cultivator in shock. He refused to believe that Lisa was able to hide it.
If Lisa had that ability, she would be able to kill him in a second.
Hyunjae was greatly surprised too, but didn’t ask about it, because it wasn’t a suitable time.
“I don’t think I have to answer that question,” said Lisa in a cold voice. Without a pause, she kept on attacking the cultivator.
At this time, both the cultivator and Hyunjae came back to their senses and continued to fight against each other.
The three of them moved back and forth in the woods. Lisa couldn’t do qinggong, but she was still able to move fast with the strength from her feet. She was fast too, but wasn’t as agile as the cultivator.
The cultivator controlled the branches and stones around to attack Lisa, but Lisa avoided all of them.
During the fight, Lisa learned to use her magical power to control the small stuff around her just like what the cultivator was doing.
However, neither Hyunjae nor the cultivator knew that Lisa just learned that from the fight.
When Hyunjae was alone, he couldn’t win the fight against the cultivator, but they soon were at an advantage once Lisa joined him. Moreover, the cultivator was losing control of the fight.
The cultivator knew that he was at a disadvantage and that it was meaningless to continue to fight with them, so he tried to leave, but Lisa and Hyunjae had no intention of letting him go right now.
After a long while, the cultivator finally failed and lost the ability to fight back.
“Jing Hyunjae, if you kill me, the Yin family will definitely pay you back!” said the cultivator. Even though he was caught by Hyunjae now, he was still quite arrogant, because he believed that Hyunjae didn’t dare to kill him.
This cultivator was a member of the Yin family, which was one of the four dominant families in the cultivation world. His father was the second son of the Yin family and his name was Yin Shixun.
Yin Shixun was quite outstanding in the Yin family, so he had an important position in his family.
“Do you think I’m afraid of the Yin family? No one will know it even if I kill you right now,” said Hyunjae with disdain.
“You…” Yin Shixun realized this problem as well and turned pale in an instant.
Was Hyunjae really going to kill him? If Hyunjae really killed him right now, he had no ability to fight back.
“Besides, you just tried to kill me first. There is no reason for me to let you go right now. You also had the thought that the Jing family won’t know it even if you kill me here. Do you think I’ve forgotten what you did to me 10 years ago? Since you know that Taehee is still alive, I can’t let you go to tell the Jing family,” said Hyunjae coldly, looking at Yin Shixun who was his enemy.
Hyunjae had no intention of letting him go, because he had tried to kill him many times. Besides, he had found out that Taehee was still alive.
The four dominant families never stopped secretly competing against each other. All the other three dominant families were aware of the Jing family’s bad relationship with Taehee. As a result, once they learned that Taehee was still alive, they would definitely leak the news to the Jing family, because they wanted to see the Jing family in a mess.
Lisa was also annoyed when she heard that Yin Shixun already knew that Taehee was still alive. She was also sure that Yin Shixun would tell the Jing family about that if he could survive tonight. If so, Jungkook would be in danger too.
Taehee was strong and she could escape and save herself even if she couldn’t defeat the strongest member of the Jing family. Besides, Taehee was in the capital. If she encountered any danger, Shangguan Yang could help her.
Jungkook, however, needed to travel around because of his job, so he was in a more dangerous situation.
Even though Jungkook had the flood dragon by his side, Lisa was still worried about his safety. Therefore, she would never allow Yin Shixun to stay alive.
The Jing family would know that Taehee was still alive and Jungkook was her son sooner or later, but Jungkook needed time to grow stronger.
“Kill him,” said Lisa to Taehee.
“No!” Yin Shixun struggled and shouted, because his body was seriously injured.
“No? It’s not up to you right now. Yin Shixun, it’s time to end the grudge between us,” sneered Hyunjae, then raised his hand and hit Yin Shixun’s energy center with great magical energy.
Yin Shixun rounded his eyes in shock. The next second, his energy center exploded and his cultivation was ruined. Afterwards, he was dead.
Lisa planned to release the monster fox to absorb Yin Shixun’s cultivation, but she gave up that idea because of Hyunjae’s presence.
She regretted showing her magical power. If she released the monster fox right now, her telepathic eye space would be exposed too.
Even though Hyunjae was in the same group as her, she should still keep her secrets.
Hyunjae looked at Lisa. He wanted to ask her about the magical power around her body, but he was afraid it wasn’t appropriate.
Lisa knew what he was thinking, but she had no intention of talking about it either, so she wouldn’t mention it.
“Uncle Hyunjae, who is he?” asked Lisa. She learned that he was a member of the Yin family from their conversation just now, but she didn’t know more details.
“His father is the second son of the Yin family,” said Hyunjae. “He caught me seeing Taehee today.”
“Let’s go now!” said Lisa. She didn’t ask about their grudge. Since the problem was already resolved, there was no need to stay here any longer.
Lisa and Hyunjae climbed down the mountain and Hyunjae asked nothing about the magical power in Lisa’s body and how she managed to hide it from being discovered.
Actually, even if he asked Lisa about that, Lisa wouldn’t tell him the truth.
On their way down the mountain, Lisa called Hyojong telling him to pick them up.
While they were waiting for Hyojong, Lisa sent Yeji a message and told her that she was done and fine now.
Yeji had worries after leaving, so she didn’t feel fully relieved until she received Lisa’s message.
In half an hour, Hyojong came and Lisa along with Hyunjae got in the car.
After the fight against the cultivator, Lisa was tired now, so she didn’t go back to her school. Instead, she went to Century City.
Hyunjae had seldom visited the capital, so he didn’t have a fixed abode in this city. He always stayed in the hotel.
Because he just came back today, he hadn’t booked a room so Lisa helped him book a room in Shengshi Hotel.
Once she was back in her place, Lisa took a shower.
After having the shower, she received a call from Jungkook, walking out of the bathroom. Lisa told him what had happened tonight and reminded him to be careful.
Jungkook was worried about Lisa’s safety as well, but he couldn’t stay by her side all the time. Therefore, he could only remind her to be careful and turn to Shangguan Yang for help whenever she needed help.
When Lisa was talking with Jungkook on the phone, Hyunjae called Taehee too.
“Taehee, the cultivator you discovered is Yin Shixun. I met him afterwards,” said Hyunjae.
When they were in the restaurant today, Taehee sensed the cultivator, but she didn’t know it was Yin Shixun. Because the cultivator was at a very high level, he could easily hide himself.
Taehee was unwilling to expose herself, so she left.
Back at that time, Yin Shixun wasn’t sure whether he really saw Taehee. Once Taehee walked out, Yin Shixun followed her, but he soon lost her. As a result, he returned to follow Hyunjae.
“And?” Taehee asked in annoyance.
If Yin Shixun told the Jing family that she was still alive, Jungkook might be in danger. She wasn’t afraid that the Jing family would find her. However, because Jungkook’s level was still comparatively low, he could be easily hurt by a cultivator at a high level.
Even though Jungkook had the flood dragon’s help, the flood dragon’s level wasn’t super high. Jungkook could still be in danger even with its help, so Taehee was still worried.
“I had a fight against him, but I was no match for him. Luckily, Lisa passed by and sensed the waves of magical energy, so she came to help me. We worked together to kill Yin Shixun. I don’t know whether the Yin family will find us, there is a long-standing grudge between us. He has also tried to kill me, so he had to die to prevent him from telling other people that you’re still alive,” said Hyunjae. He didn’t think that he shouldn’t have killed Yin Shixun.
In fact, if Yin Shixun agreed to keep it a secret that Taehee was still alive, Hyunjae wouldn’t have made up his mind to kill him.
What was worse, there was an old grudge between them.
Yin Shixun had tried to poison him once before, but he had survived that time.
He knew it was Yin Shixun who had done it, but he didn’t have evidence. He was no match for him, so he had to tolerate it for years.
Unexpectedly, he found out that Taehee was still alive today and followed him. With Lisa’s help, he finally caught Yin Shixun so it was impossible for him to let him go.
Knowing that Yin Shixun was dead, Taehee was relieved.
“Oh, do you know why we can’t feel any air of cultivation from Lisa’s body? How does she manage to release and use magical power?” asked Hyunjae. He thought it was inappropriate to ask Lisa, so he turned to ask Taehee.
Hearing that, Taehee was slightly surprised, but wasn’t shocked, because she knew that Lisa had many secrets. However, she didn’t know many details.
Lisa couldn’t be ordinary since she was able to tame the flood dragon.
“I don’t know, but she has many secrets. If she wants to tell us, she will talk about it. If not, we shouldn’t ask about it,” said Taehee.
Hearing Taehee’s calm voice, Hyunjae realized that she knew much more about Lisa than him.
“Sure,” said Hyunjae. He agreed with Taehee on that.
…
After the call with Jungkook, Lisa went to sleep.
The next day, Lisa got up early and went to her school. Because it would soon be the rush hour and there would be a traffic jam, Lisa didn’t drive, but took the subway.
However, because of the rush hour, the subway was super crowded too.
Anyway, it wasn’t so bad so she could squeeze herself inside.
From the subway station to the Capital University station, she needed to transfer to another line. It took about 50 minutes in all, which was as long as the time she might spend on the road by car. However, if she was caught in a traffic jam on the road, it could take longer by car.
When Lisa reached the gate of their school, she ran into Jaewook.
Lisa originally tried to pretend that she didn’t see him if he didn’t notice her, but someone aside suddenly said, “Isn’t that Gu Lisa?”
Jaewook heard it, so he turned to look at her.
A touch of happiness flashed by Jaewook’s face and he walked to her at once. “Hi, Gu Lisa, what a coincidence! Do you live outside the school?” he enthusiastically greeted her.
Although there was unpleasantness before, it didn’t affect Jaewook’s enthusiasm for Lisa. Besides, it was Wei Chuanxun’s fault after all, so he had no reason to feel bad about Lisa.
Since Jaewook came to greet her, Lisa couldn’t ignore him any longer, so she replied in a flat voice, “Not really, I don’t come back to the school when I need to deal with something outside.”
Hearing that, Jaewook remembered the companies owned by Lisa. “You must be very busy!” he said, caring about her.
Lisa was studying and running a business empire at the same time, which made it impossible for her not to be busy.
“Yeah,” said Lisa, but she enjoyed it.
“Oh, I should apologize to you for what Wei Chuanxun said last time. He’s indeed a little arrogant,” said Jaewook. He wasn’t deliberately defaming his friend, but he knew Wei Chuanxun’s character very well. What Wei Chuanxun had done last time was indeed unacceptable.
“It’s already history. I didn’t take it seriously,” said Lisa. She didn’t bother to pay special attention to Wei Chuanxun.
Jaewook was very popular in their school, so many students were attracted to him once he showed up. They also witnessed his talk with Lisa, and the girls got envious.
“Jesus, I’m so envious of that girl. Senior Rong went to talk to her of his own accord.”
“Yeah, I wish I were her. I’m envious of her as well.”
“She’s very beautiful. They look perfect together.”
“So what? Senior Rong is from a powerful family. An ordinary girl doesn’t deserve him.”
“Right, he’ll only have a marriage between families of equal social status. I think only Yuan Jihee deserves Senior Rong.”
“I don’t think Gu Lisa is a bad choice. She’s young and successful. She’s the boss of several super profitable companies now.”
“I have to admit that Gu Lisa is very outstanding, but the Rong family is an extraordinary family. It cares a lot about social status. In addition, power is always more valuable than wealth, unless it’s a top, super-rich family.”
“…”
Hearing their discussion, both Lisa and Jaewook were annoyed.
Lisa was displeased, but not because they thought that she didn’t deserve Jaewook. She actually didn’t think Jaewook deserved her! Moreover, her man was much better than Jaewook. She wasn’t an idiot and she wouldn’t like Jaewook.
She was simply reluctant to be connected with Jaewook, even if it was only a rumor.
Jaewook was annoyed because he disliked hearing other people saying that Jihee was perfect for him. He didn’t mind if people talked about him and Lisa.
As for the problem of social status, it was indeed very important, but his family would agree as long as he was determined. After all, Lisa was very outstanding.
Jaewook had that idea because he indeed had a good impression of Lisa, otherwise he wouldn’t have tried to strike up a conversation with her many times.
“Senior Rong, I think we should keep a distance from each other. I don’t want to be involved in unnecessary trouble,” said Lisa. After that, she left Jaewook behind and walked away fast.
Jaewook was surprised and chased after her at once. “Gu Lisa, has Yuan Jihee done anything to you?”
He was aware that Jihee liked him and Jihee would warn other girls to stay away from him. Therefore, Lisa’s words made him think that Jihee might have done something to her.
He didn’t care if Jihee warned other girls to stay away from him, but he wanted Lisa to be close to him.
“Yuan Jihee has no ability to hurt me. I simply don’t want to waste time on boring things or be affected by them,” said Lisa. She then ignored Jaewook and walked faster ahead.
Hearing that, Jaewook felt upset. However, he understood why Lisa said that, because they were merely acquaintances right now.
Therefore, Jaewook stopped chasing Lisa. Since she said that, he would only make her unhappy if he chased her.
Anyway, he needed to be more patient, because he wasn’t sure whether he really liked Lisa very much.
However, Jaewook was mad at Jihee for causing Lisa trouble.
He didn’t like Jihee at all, and actually hated her. Even if he liked her, it was impossible for them to be together given the huge gap between their families’ social status.
Is Jihee an idiot or something? Couldn’t she figure out such a simple thing?
Jihee soon heard that Jaewook went to talk with Lisa of his own accord. Some students also said that they looked perfect together, which was totally unacceptable in Jihee’s eyes.
She ached to cause Lisa trouble, but had to give it up because she knew that Lisa wasn’t weak. Therefore, she could only be full of anger, but couldn’t do anything about it.
The whole morning, Jihee was absent-minded.
At noon, Ge Qingqing noticed the absent look on Jihee’s face, so she asked with concern, “Jihee, what happened? You have an absent look. Is it because of Qu Hanjiao?”
Because of the terrible news about the Qu family, Qu Hanjiao had been absent for days.
Although both of them cut their relationship with the Qu family, Qu Hanjiao was their friend after all. They wouldn’t help her, but they still had sympathy for her.
The case about the Qu family was settled this morning. Because of the solid proof, Qu Linan was sentenced to years in jail. However, because it was his personal actions, the Qu family and the Qu Organization survived.
However, after the scandal was uncovered, the price of stocks of the Qu Organization dived, which had a great effect on it. Luckily, the Qu Organization was a large business group, so it wouldn’t easily go bankrupt.
Anyway, the sharp fall of the stocks price already made it chaotic.
There were many ambitious people in the Qu Organization, so they couldn’t wait to take action once Qu Linan was in trouble. Several men with great abilities were competing against each other for the seat of the chairman.
Although Qu Yifei was Qu Linan’s son, he wasn’t qualified for the job. Therefore, the Qu family was quite anxious at this time.
“I don’t care about her at all! I’m already bothered by my own business,” said Jihee. It sounded cold-blooded, but it was the truth.
Hearing that, Ge Qingqing didn’t think Jihee was cold-blooded, because she had the same idea. Even though she had sympathy for Qu Hanjiao, she wouldn’t be affected by her either.
When Jihee and Ge Qingqing reached the door of the canteen, they saw Jaewook. Actually, Jaewook went there to wait for Jihee on purpose.
Jihee was excited to see Jaewook, but refused to show her feelings on her face.
Jaewook walked to Jihee once he saw her.
Seeing Jaewook walking to her, Jihee got nervous and thrilled. She didn’t know why Jaewook wanted to see her, but she was happy to see him. She suppressed her excitement, and looked calm on the surface.
“Have you caused Gu Lisa any trouble?” Jaewook questioned Jihee in public without delay.
Hearing that, Jihee was annoyed and embarrassed. “Rong Jaewook, what do you mean? Did you come to see me for Gu Lisa? Did Gu Lisa tell you that I’ve caused her trouble? Fine, I thought she’s a considerate girl, but she turns out to be a troublemaker. I didn’t cause her any trouble!”
Jiher was furious. Although she hated Lisa, she had never caused Lisa trouble of her own accord.
Qu Hanjiao had tried to hurt Lisa because of her, but she didn’t do it on her own, so she didn’t think she should take the blame.
Jihee’s voice wasn’t low, so many students heard it, and they soon had a bad impression of Lisa. They thought that Lisa was hypocritical and tried to stir things up between Jihee and Jaewook.
Jaewook looked angrier after hearing what Jihee said, because Jihee was blaming Lisa for everything.
“I didn’t say that Gu Lisa told me that. Don’t blame her for it!” Jaewook said in anger.
“If she didn’t say that to you, why did you question me about that?” sneered Jihee. She believed that Lisa must have told Jaewook that she had caused her trouble.
Jaewook was struck dumb for a second. It seemed that Jihee really hadn’t caused Lisa any trouble.
Although Lisa hadn’t made it very clear that Jihee had caused her trouble, she had said that Jihee had no ability to hurt her, which made Jaewook believe that Jihee at least had tried to cause Lisa trouble.
“Great, I hope it won’t happen in the future either,” said Jaewook, then he turned around walking away. Even though he had misunderstood Jihee, he had no intention of apologizing.
Jaewook was born in a family of power after all. Although he wasn’t as arrogant as other heirs of power, he had great pride in himself. Therefore, he was unwilling to apologize to Jihee even if he had misunderstood her.
Jihee was angrier because Jaewook had misunderstood her and didn’t apologize, but she still blamed Lisa for it.
“Jihee, Rong Jaewook is so rude! How could he question you all of a sudden for no reason? He didn’t even apologize!” Ge Qingqing was also mad at Jaewooks attitude.
“Gu Lisa, it’s all her fault!” Jihee said, clenching her teeth. If she could beat Lisa, she would definitely teach her a lesson.
Because of the drama, there were rumors about Lisa in their school. Some students even gossiped about it in their school forum on the Internet.
《Big news! Rong Jaewook went to question Yuan Jihee today for Gu Lisa. He asked her whether she has caused Gu Lisa any trouble. Yuan Jihee denied it. It’s Gu Lisa who is stirring things up between them.》
【Really? I can’t believe it. Gu Lisa doesn’t seem to be such an evil person.】
【Never judge a person from his or her appearance. Yuan Jihee liked Rong Jaewook, and Gu Lisa liked him too. Gu Lisa must hate Yuan Jihee, so she tried to stir things up between them.】
【Right, although Gu Lisa is excellent at studying and running businesses, it doesn’t mean she has standards.】
【Senior Rong said Gu Lisa didn’t tell him that Yuan Jihee caused her any trouble.】
【Senior Rong likes Gu Lisa, so he naturally defended her.】
【Does it mean Gu Lisa is a calculating girl?】
【I still choose to trust Gu Lisa. There must be a misunderstanding.】
【Even if Yuan Jihee denied it, no one knows whether she has really caused Gu Lisa trouble. She has done that before. She never likes other girls being close to Senior Rong.】
【Right, Yuan Jihee has done that before, so I choose to believe Gu Lisa as well.】
【…】
【Can anyone tell me who Gu Lisa is?】
【Gu Lisa is a freshman. The top scorer with a full score this year.】
【Jesus? The top scorer with a full score? It’s unbelievable!】
【Yeah, it’s amazing.】
【She has greater achievements. She’s also the owner of Kouzi.】
【What? The boss of Kouzi is a student younger than 20?】
【Kouzi is quite popular in the makeup industry right now. It has great effects. I’m a loyal fan.】
【…】
Some people supported Jihee, while some chose to side with Lisa on it. At the beginning, the amounts of people who supported them were almost the same, but they gradually turned to talk about Lisa.
Many students had great admiration towards Lisa, especially those fans of Kouzi. The majority of them unconditionally supported Lisa.
At the same time, some students believed that Lisa was calculating, so they promised to stop using Kouzi products.
Class A of Economics was in a class. Some students would secretly play with mobile phones, and a girl was visiting the school forum and saw this post about Lisa. As a fan of Lisa, she was immediately angry, then lost control of herself and shouted, “How can they wrong Gu Lisa like this?”
Her sudden shout surprised the other students in the class.
They were in their head teacher’s class, and the girl’s shout interrupted their head teacher’s lesson, so he looked at the girl in annoyance.
However, they all heard that she said that some people had wronged Lisa.
Afterwards, they turned to look at Lisa.
Lisa frowned and knew someone must have slandered her on the Internet.
“Lin Ziyu, what happened?”
He Qihang paid special attention to Lisa, so he didn’t criticize Lin Ziyu for playing with her phone in class and disobeying the rules. Since it was about Lisa, he thought that he should learn more about it.
“Mr. He, someone attacked Gu Lisa in our school forum, saying that she’s…” Lin Ziyu suddenly didn’t know how to say it aloud, because it seemed that she was defaming Lisa.
“Finish it,” said Lisa.
“Um, the person says that you told Rong Jaewook that Yuan Jihee has caused you trouble, so Rong Jaewook went to question Yuan Jihee about that. However, Yuan Jihee denied it, so everyone believes you’re a calculating girl. And that you like Rong Jaewook, so you tried to stir things up between Rong Jaewook and Yuan Jihee to make Rong Jaewook hate her,” said Lin Ziyu.
Hearing that, Lisa was mad. Since when had she liked Jaewook?
Besides, why did Jaewook go to question Jihee about whether she had caused her trouble?
Lisa didn’t care if he went to question Jihee, but she was unwilling to be involved.
She originally had no bad impression of Jaewook, but she had to keep a distance from him because he was the enemy of her boyfriend’s family. However, she had a terrible impression of him right now, because he had dragged her into unnecessary trouble!
“No way!”
“I don’t believe it.”
“I trust Gu Lisa too.”
“Although we didn’t see Yuan Jihee causing Gu Lisa trouble, Qu Hanjiao has done that during the military training. It’s the undeniable truth. Qu Hanjiao is Yuan Jihee’s close friend. Yuan Jihee didn’t stop Qu Hanjiao from causing Gu Lisa trouble. She even defended Qu Hanjiao, so Yuan Jihee must be supportive of Qu Hanjiao’s behavior.”
The class leader, Lu Kaixuan said that, giving his opinion.
They had spent some time with Lisa. They didn’t know much about each other, but most of them admired Lisa, so they were willing to trust her.
Although several female students refused to side with Lisa because they were jealous of her, they didn’t dare to say it aloud.
“Gu Lisa, what do you think about that?” He Qihang asked Lisa. He also chose to trust Lisa, but he still needed to ask for her opinion.
“I do have conflicts against Yuan Jihee, but there is nothing serious. It’s very personal, so I didn’t tell anyone else. To be honest with you, I already have a fiancé, so it’s impossible for me to like Rong Jaewook. I’ll get married after graduation. I won’t have a closer relationship than friendship with other males. In addition, I have only met Senior Rong several times. We’re not familiar. We only had a brief talk. I don’t know why he went to question Yuan Jihee about whether she has caused me any trouble. I’m innocent and I’m unhappy about it. It has damaged my reputation. I don’t want to be blamed for being calculating. It’s ridiculous,” said Lisa. She didn’t bother to hide her real feelings. Actually, she was slightly mad.
Knowing that Lisa already had a fiancé, everyone was greatly surprised.
However, it was possible, because some college students were indeed engaged before graduation.
After hearing Lisa’s explanation, more students tended to trust her.
“So how will you handle it?” asked He Qihang.
“Please don’t worry, I’ll deal with it properly,” said Lisa. It wasn’t a serious thing at all, and Lisa had encountered trouble which was much more serious than that before.
“Great,” said He Qihang. He didn’t ask further about that, because he believed that Lisa could handle it well. After all, Lisa wasn’t an ordinary girl.
Since the drama became a hot topic in their school forum, more and more students saw it. Even though some students didn’t pay attention to it, they heard about it from other students’ conversations.
Therefore, Yuqi and Nayeon soon heard it, and they were mad at Jaewook too.
They had spent a lot of time with Lisa, and they were quite close, so they knew Lisa much better than other people. They were aware that Lisa wasn’t calculating at all. Moreover, Lisa already had a fiancé. It was impossible for her to like another man.
Most importantly, Lisa’s fiancé was much more outstanding than Jaewook. She absolutely wouldn’t choose Jaewook.
The Rong family was as influential as the Jeon family, but Jaewook was barely comparable to Jungkook.
Jungkook was the youngest major general in history with countless great achievements, while Jaewook was still a college student. It couldn’t be more obvious that Jungkook was more outstanding than Jaewook.
After learning the news, Yuqi and Nayeon talked about it in their WeChat group. Both of them criticized Jaewook and his behavior.
Lisa was angry too, but she wasn’t as emotional as Yuqi and Nayeon. Actually, she was amused by their reaction. She even comforted them and told them not to be so mad. She would go to talk with Jaewook about that.
Yuqi and Nayeon proposed to see Jaewook together with her.
Lisa agreed.
After that, Yuqi and Nayeon defended Lisa in their school forum, but they didn’t mention the fact that Lisa already had a fiancé, because it was Lisa’s secret.
When the morning’s classes were over, Lisa went to see her friends on the road to the canteen.
Along the way, Lisa felt some unkind looks and heard their discussions about the news in their school forum.
Lisa didn’t bother to pay more attention to them. After meeting Yuqi and Nayeon, they went together to the canteen.
They also saw Jaewook and his friends not far from them.
“Let me stop him!” said Yuqi, running towards them.
Lisa didn’t stop her, because she was going to see Jaewook too.
Yuqi ran ahead and stood in the way of Jaewook and his friends.
“Rong Jaewook, Lisa needs to see you,” said Yuqi in an unkind tone.
“Really? Where is she?” Jaewook asked excitedly.
“Rong Jaewook, you don’t look guilty at all!” Seeing Jaewook’s happy expression, Yuqi got angrier and snapped at him.
Hearing that, Jaewook was taken aback. He didn’t understand what Yuqi meant.
“What do you mean?” Wei Chuanxun opened his mouth at this time in an unkind tone, because he was displeased with Yuqi’s attitude.
Yuqi said nothing, and Lisa walked over.
“Gu Lisa, what do you want to talk about with me?” Jaewook was obviously excited to see Lisa.
Lisa, however, looked at Jaewook in annoyance. She asked, “Senior Rong, perhaps you’re worried that Yuan Jihee who likes you might cause me trouble, so you went to question her, but I didn’t tell you that Yuan Jihee has caused me any trouble. Have you ever considered my feelings? What you’ve done can damage my reputation. It’s now a hot topic in our school forum. Everyone believes that I told you Yuan Jihee has caused me trouble, but she actually hasn’t. People are all criticizing me for being calculating. I feel quite aggrieved.”
“What?”
Knowing that, Jaewook was shocked. It was obvious that he knew nothing about that.
“Sorry, I didn’t expect it to have such a huge impact. I thought that Yuan Jihee has caused you trouble, so I went to ask her about it.” Jaewook apologized at once. He was indeed surprised by the result of his impulsive behavior.
“Even though you didn’t expect this to happen, it indeed has bothered me and damaged my reputation. I think that we better be strangers from now on! I told you I don’t want to be affected by irrelevant people and things,” said Lisa.
Hearing that, Jaewook was disappointed. He believed that he had treated Lisa very well, but she didn’t cherish his affection towards her, which made Jaewook start to change his positive feelings to her.
“Gu Lisa, Jaewook was only worried that Yuan Jihee might bully you, so he went to ask her about that. You don’t cherish his effort, and you even blame him for that?” Wei Chuanxun was mad, defending Jaewook.
This time, Jaewook didn’t stop him, because he had the same thought.
Lisa frowned and was about to lose her temper.
Many people were already looking at them and more and more people surrounded them after Wei Chuanxun’s shout.
Hearing their conversation and the hot topic in their school forum today, they immediately realized what they were talking about.
When they saw Lisa’s annoyed expression, they began to wonder whether the post in their school forum today told the truth.
“You…” Yuqi was furious and wanted to say something again, but Nayeon stopped her.
They should leave it to Lisa, it was better for them to be quiet.
Yuqi also realized it, so she closed her mouth after giving Wei Chuanxun a glare. In her eyes, Wei Chuanxun was even more annoying than Jaewook.
Lisa turned to coldly look at Wei Chuanxun, which made him tremble in fear. He couldn’t help avoiding Lisa’s eyes, because her look was so piercing that he somehow was scared.
Ignoring those onlookers, Lisa said to Wei Chuanxun in a cold voice, “Why should I cherish it? I know he went to question Yuan Jihee out of kindness because he was worried that she might bully me, but I’ve done nothing wrong. Why should I carry the blame in the end? Do I deserve to be criticized by so many people? Can’t I be mad at being slandered? Do I have to accept the result?”
“I…” Wei Chuanxun felt a little guilty hearing that.
Actually, Lisa indeed had done nothing wrong, but she was amid criticisms in the end.
“Someone said in the school forum that I like Senior Rong, so I deliberately stirred things up between Senior Yuan and Senior Rong trying to make Senior Rong hate Senior Yuan.” Lisa turned to ask Jaewook, “Senior Rong, can you tell us whether I’ve told you that Senior Yuan has caused me any trouble?”
Jaewook remained silent. He didn’t answer Lisa’s question right away, because the answer was negative.
If he told the truth, he had to admit that it was his fault in public. Although it was indeed his fault, he was unwilling to admit it in front of everyone.
Seeing Jaewook’s reaction, Lisa’s expression became colder. She knew that Jaewook was selfish and refused to admit it only to save his own face.
Since he chose to protect himself, Lisa continued without waiting for his reply. “Senior Rong, we actually are not familiar with each other. Even if we’ve talked with one another before, it was only a brief talk. It’s impossible that I admire Senior Rong. Senior Rong has countless admirers in our school, but not every girl likes him. Besides, I already have a fiancé. I’m deeply in love with my fiancé, so I’d never like another man.”
Knowing that, everyone rounded his or her eyes in shock. To their astonishment, Lisa already had a fiancé.
It wasn’t strange, but was quite surprising.
Jaewook was embarrassed, because he believed that Lisa didn’t take him seriously. Somehow, Jaewook began to be mad at Lisa.
Because of Lisa’s further explanation, people learned that she wasn’t the kind of girl the post in their school forum described. That post obviously was defaming her.
It was Jaewook who went to question Jihee of his own accord, but it brought great trouble to Lisa afterwards.
As a result, people began to look at Jaewook differently, but nobody dared to criticize him for the sake of his background.
All of a sudden, a cold female voice sounded.
“Lord Rong, I think you should take the blame for this drama. Since Gu Lisa didn’t say that Yuan Jihee has caused her any trouble, you’ve damaged her reputation by questioning Yuan Jihee of your own accord. You did that out of kindness, but Gu Lisa was attacked because of you. Shouldn’t you apologize to her?”
Hearing her voice, Lisa knew that it must be Zhang Zikai before seeing her face.
Lisa didn’t remember that Zhang Zikai was also studying in the Capital University until this moment. However, she hadn’t seen her nor contacted her yet, neither did Zhang Zikai.
Anyway, once she saw Zhang Zikai’s hand wrapped in bandages, she figured out that she had been injured.
Although the Zhang family wasn’t as influential as the Rong family, it didn’t mean that Zhang Zikai was afraid of it and didn’t dare to stand out for justice.
Everyone agreed with Zhang Zikai on her words, but they still chose to be silent.
“What happened to your hand?” asked Lisa with concern.
“We can talk about it later. Now let’s focus on your problem,” said Zhang Zikai. She cared more about the drama Lisa was involved in right now.
Because she was injured and lost her phone, she lost Lisa’s number. Therefore, she couldn’t contact Lisa.
To her surprise, once she came to the school today, she heard the news about Lisa and was full of anger.
“Sure.” Lisa didn’t ask further about it for now.
Jaewook definitely knew Zhang Zikai, but he didn’t expect that Lisa also knew her.
Although the Zhang family wasn’t as influential as the Rong family and it was only a second-rate family of power while the Rong family was a top family of power, Zhang Zikai’s grandfather was from another top family of power.
There was a little gap between their families, but Zhang Zikai wasn’t afraid of the Rong family at all.
For the time being, neither the Zhang family nor Zhang Zikai’s maternal grandfather’s family, the Deng family, belonged to any faction of the four dominant families in the capital. Even though most families of power had already chosen a force to side with, about four tenths of the families of power still hadn’t.
The four dominant families were doing their best to draw them over to their own side, but they were unwilling to be involved in the politics competition.
Because they were unwilling to choose a force to side with, they were under pressure and encountered some difficulties, but it wasn’t serious.
After all, they weren’t weak, and it wasn’t easy to make them yield.
Besides, the four dominant families were competing against each other, so the other families would definitely stir things up once any of them had a problem. Therefore, they tried to draw other families of power to their own side more with bribery than coercion.
In addition to the four dominant families, those first-rate families of power were also ambitious. As a result, those who hadn’t chosen to side with any of them were ready to build their own force.
Although no one said anything aloud to support Zhang Zikai, their expressions showed everything, which made Jaewook feel quite embarrassed.
If he apologized now, he would be humiliated in public. However, if he ran away, his reputation would be greatly damaged.
“You…” Wei Chuanxun tried to defend Jaewook, because he felt that everyone was forcing Jaewook to apologize to Lisa.
“Chuanxun.” Before Wei Chuanxun could finish, Jaewook stopped him. He was dissatisfied that Wei Chuanxun interrupted them.
He knew that Wei Chuanxun was trying to defend him, but he had indeed brought trouble to Lisa. If he didn’t apologize right now, he might have to face a worse situation in the future.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Jaewook suppressed his reluctance and apologized to Lisa. “I’m sorry, Gu Lisa.”
“I accept your apology. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we can be strangers from now on,” said Lisa. Before Jaewook could reply to her, she walked away with her friends.
Onlookers also left one after another.
“Jaewook, the girl named Gu Lisa is too unkind. You tried to protect her, but she doesn’t cherish your kindness at all,” said Wei Chuanxun in annoyance.
“You can go to have a meal on your own. I don’t have an appetite now.” After going through what had happened just now, Jaewook lost his appetite. He didn’t want to see Lisa in the canteen again.
“Jaewook…” Wei Chuanxun wanted to stop Jaewook from leaving, but another two boys stopped him.
“Let him be alone for a while,” said a boy.
Hearing that, Wei Chuanxun didn’t follow Jaewook, and they went to the canteen together.
“Gu Lisa has no regard for Jaewook’s reputation!” Wei Chuanxun kept on complaining.
“Chuanxun, actually I don’t agree with you on that. Although Jaewook went to question Yuan Jihee for Gu Lisa’s good. It’s his own decision without her agreement after all. It has nothing to do with Gu Lisa, but Gu Lisa has to carry the blame in the end. She’s the victim, while Jaewook has caused the trouble for her, so Jaewook should apologize,” said Boy A.
Hearing that, Wei Chuanxun frowned. In fact, he was aware of that as well, but he chose to side with Jaewook because Jaewook was his close brother. Moreover, he needed to form a good relationship with Jaewook too, so he defended Jaewook for no reason.
In that case, once he saw Lisa’s bad attitude towards Jaewook, he was angry at her. Whether Jaewook was right or not, he blamed Lisa for everything.
“Right, a girl’s reputation matters a lot, and Gu Lisa is also a celebrity. Her reputation is even more important. If it’s damaged, her businesses might also be affected. It’s understandable that she’s mad. There are so many employees relying on her to make a living!” Boy B said, “Most importantly, she’s the victim.”
Hearing that, Wei Chuanxun closed his mouth.
Boy A and Boy B never liked Wei Chuanxun’s behavior, but they were all Jaewook’s friends, so they normally wouldn’t say anything as long as they weren’t involved.
Wei Chuanxun was selfish and only cared about his own benefits and feelings after all.
…
When Lisa and her friends left, she introduced Yuqi, Nayeon and Zhang Zikai to one another.
Yuqi and Zhang Zikai were both members of the high society, but they didn’t know each other until now. Yuqi stayed in the military camp most of her time, so she only knew a few people of the high society.
Lisa only told them their names without introducing their family background. After all, they were making friends so they didn’t care about their friends’ family background.
Lisa was aware that Zhang Zikai’s family couldn’t be ordinary, but she didn’t know much about it. She didn’t bother to ask about it either.
After exchanging greetings, Lisa asked Zhang Zikai, “What happened to you?”
Hearing that, Zhang Zikai showed obvious anger on her face. “A few days before enrollment, my father took me and my mother to City Bao to attend the wedding of a friend of his. However, on our way back, we encountered a car accident and was hit by a large truck.
“Our car was knocked down into a river. Fortunately, we were rescued in time, so there was no big problem. My injuries were slightly more serious. I suffered a mild concussion and my hand was fractured, so I had to stay in the hospital for half a month. I was discharged afterwards and had to rest for a week at home. I’m fine now, so I came to school.
“However, because I was knocked into the water, I lost my phone. I couldn’t contact you either. I heard from my father that the car crash isn’t an accident, but a scheme. He didn’t tell me details, so I don’t know much about it.”
Zhang Zikai didn’t bother to keep the truth a secret from Lisa, because she took Lisa as her friend. Anyway, she didn’t know any details.
As for Yuqi and Nayeon, since they were Lisa’s friends, Zhang Zikai believed that they were reliable. Anyway, they didn’t know her background, so it wasn’t a big deal even if she told them what had happened to her.
After hearing Zhang Zikai’s words, not only Lisa, but Yuqi and Nayeon were also mad. They actually knew that schemes weren’t uncommon. However, Lisa didn’t think she should ask further about that.
After ordering dishes in the canteen, Lisa took out a power crystal and gave it to Zhang Zikai. “If you trust me, take it and you’ll recover faster.”
“I trust you. Thank you, Lisa.” Zhang Zikai accepted the power crystal from Lisa’s hand at once.
“Can I take it right now?” asked Zhang Zikai.
“Sure, anytime,” said Lisa. Zhang Zikai then prepared a glass of water. In her opinion, medicines were all bitter. Therefore, without water, she couldn’t swallow it.
Seeing that, Lisa said, “It’ll melt once you put it into your mouth. You don’t need to drink water.”
Hearing that, Zhang Zikai put down the glass of water before opening the porcelain bottle and taking the power crystal.
Sensing the magical power, Nayeon’s eyes lit up, but she didn’t have further information about this pill which contained magical power.
She had to be very careful, otherwise Lisa would be suspicious of her.
“Wow, it really melted once it touched my tongue! I felt a touch of cold right afterwards, but it was quite comfortable,” said Zhang Zikai in surprise.
After taking the power crystal, Zhang Zikai soon felt the change from her arm. The pain in her arm suddenly went away. Moreover, her arm was very weak earlier, but now it gradually gained strength.
“No way! It’s so effective!” Zhang Zikai rounded her eyes in shock. She couldn’t believe it.
Lisa smiled but said nothing.
Right at this moment, Jihee and her friends walked to Lisa. Although Jihee was afraid of Lisa, it didn’t mean that she didn’t dare to face her. Besides, she was also wronged in today’s drama.
Because not only Lisa was amid criticisms today, Jihee was also criticized by many people. Jaewook, however, was barely criticized.
“Gu Lisa, did you tell Rong Jaewook that I’ve caused you trouble. I didn’t do that. Why did you say that to him?” Jihee angrily questioned Lisa.
Some people in the canteen didn’t know about Lisa’s argument with Jaewook just now, but they all had heard of the drama among the three of them in their school forum, so they immediately turned to look at Lisa with disdain and dislike.
“She’s Gu Lisa? She’s so good at studying and running businesses, but she has no moral standard.”
“Right, although she’s good at studying and running businesses, it doesn’t mean she has standards.”
“You’re right.”
“Don’t jump to conclusions before the truth comes out. Perhaps Gu Lisa didn’t say that.”
“Right, I don’t think Gu Lisa is that kind of person.”
“…”
Hearing their discussion, Yuqi and her friends really wanted to argue with them, but they suppressed their anger because they knew that Lisa could handle it. However, they all looked displeased.
Facing Jihee’s question, Lisa was slightly angry, but she didn’t lose her temper because she knew that Jihee was also a victim. “I didn’t. To be honest with you, I wasn’t aware that Rong Jaewook went to question you. It was his personal actions. I’m not mean. Besides, I’m not familiar with Senior Rong. We have only met a few times and had a brief conversation. It’s impossible for me to like him, because I already have a fiancé. I’m deeply in love with my fiancé. I’ll never pay special attention to another man. Therefore, Senior Yuan, I think you should talk about it with Senior Rong, instead of me.”
Although Lisa had said many times that she already had a fiancé, those people in front of her weren’t aware of it. As a result, they were all astonished after hearing that.
They didn’t think it was unacceptable, and were simply surprised.
Since Lisa already had a fiancé, it was indeed impossible for her to like another man.
In that case, it was Jaewook’s own idea that Lisa might like him.
At the same time, some people had a different idea. It didn’t mean anything even if Lisa already had a fiancé, because there were people who cheated on their partners after getting married. In addition, Lisa only had a fiancé, she was still unmarried.
Even if some people held that idea, not many of them dared to say it aloud.
However, someone suddenly said it without any fear, “So what? It doesn’t mean anything even if you have a fiancé. Some people even have affairs after getting married!”
It was a female voice, which Lisa was familiar with.
It was the girl named Song Siyao, who had a grudge against Lisa at the math competition in City B.
Song Siyao knew that Lisa was also studying in the Capital University long ago, but she didn’t have a chance to see her till now.
Although there was a grudge between them, Song Siyao didn’t bother to find out Lisa’s class and dorm room.
Anyway, since she met her right now, she wouldn’t miss this great chance to humiliate Lisa.
“Song Siyao, shut your mouth! Lisa isn’t that kind of person,” Zhang Zikai snapped at Song Siyao once she showed up.
Jihee didn’t notice Song Siyao and Zhang Zikai until this moment, but she knew both of them.
What surprised Jihee was that Lisa was Zhang Zikai’s friend.
In her eyes, Lisa was only an ordinary girl, but Lisa was able to know Heejin and Zhang Zikai. Even Jaewook had a very good impression of her.
How many people of the high society did Lisa know?
“Well, I witnessed her get out of a man’s luxury car in City B last time,” said Song Siyao.
Hearing that, some people turned to stare at Lisa with a different look, while some didn’t think that that reason was persuasive. Lisa was very rich, so it was understandable if she had a luxury car and a chauffeur.
“You seem to remember it very clearly, but don’t forget the lesson you learned in City B,” said Lisa in a flat voice, focusing on Song Siyao with a pair of unkind eyes. Song Siyao felt scared upon thinking of the fact that Lisa had beaten her in City B last time.
Nevertheless, she was now in the capital where she was born and raised, so she didn’t think that Lisa dared to hurt her here. Therefore, Song Siyao summoned up her courage. “This is the capital. Do you dare to beat me here? If you dare to hurt me again, I can chase you out of the Capital University at any time.”
Hearing that, everyone realized that Song Siyao had a grudge against Lisa and that Lisa had beaten her once before.
At the same time, they also believed that Song Siyao must have done something unacceptable, to make Lisa beat her.
Given Song Siyao’s arrogant behavior, it was easy to see that she was a typical spoiled rich heiress.
“Really? I’m very curious to know how you’ll chase me out of the Capital University, but I don’t have time to waste arguing with you right now. If you want to be beaten again, try it,” said Lisa in a threatening tone.
“You…” Threatened by Lisa, Song Siyao was furious, but she was afraid that Lisa would really beat her after seeing Lisa’s expression. After all, Lisa had done that once before.
During these days, she had also heard a lot about Lisa, so she was aware of her influence and level of martial arts. As a result, she was unwilling to mess with Lisa.
The next second, Lisa ignored her and turned to Jihee. “Senior Yuan, I mean every word I’m telling you now. If you still refuse to believe me, there is nothing else I can do. I’m in a very bad mood now. So I’m afraid I’ll lose control if you keep on bothering me.”
It couldn’t be a clearer threat. If Jihee wouldn’t stop bothering her right now, she might really beat her.
“Gu Lisa, you’re too aggressive!” Threatened by Lisa, Jihee was furious, but she didn’t dare to do anything to Lisa because Lisa was much stronger than her. However, in her eyes, Lisa was too arrogant as an ordinary girl.
Was it simply because she knew Heejin and Zhang Zikai?
“Aggressive? I have never caused other people trouble of my own accord. I was the victim every time,” said Lisa impatiently, because she was already losing her patience.
“You…” Jihee was struck dumb, because she had indeed never seen Lisa cause other people trouble of her own accord.
Although she originally believed that Lisa had bad-mouthed her in front of Jaewook, Lisa made it very clear that she already had a fiancé, which made Jihee change her mind.
“Senior Yuan, if you’re determined to search for justice, go to talk about it with Senior Rong! I ran into him outside the canteen just now. I also asked him about it. He apologized to me, so you can ask for an apology from him instead of me as well if you want,” said Lisa.
“…”
Jihee still wanted to say something, but she had to stop at this moment. After Lisa’s explanation, people would start to criticize her if she continued to blame Lisa for it.
Besides, Jihee was really afraid that Lisa might beat her. After all, Lisa had done that to Qu Hanjiao.
“Fine!”
In the end, Jihee snorted with reluctance before leaving.
Once Jihee was gone, the other people also left, but Song Siyao stayed.
“What? Do you want to cause me any trouble? Great, I’m in a bad mood now, and I need a chance to release my anger,” said Lisa in a cold voice, focusing on Song Siyao. It seemed that she was going to beat her at any moment.
“You…” Seeing that, Song Siyao immediately backed off in fear.
Nevertheless, it was too humiliating for her to give in to Lisa, so she still argued. “Gu Lisa, don’t you dare hurt me! My father is the mayor of the capital.”
“Do you think you can do whatever you want just because your father is the mayor?” Lisa asked mockingly without the slightest worry.
Lisa wasn’t surprised that Song Siyao’s father was the mayor of the capital, because she was aware that Song Siyao’s family was powerful.
However, the mayor of the capital was only an official at the provincial and ministerial level. In the capital, this position could only be regarded as a middle-to-upper-level, and there were far more state-level officials who were superior to that.
“Y-You, let’s go and see! I’ll certainly make you regret it!” Seeing that Lisa wasn’t afraid of her father’s position in the government at all, Song Siyao panicked. Anyway, Lisa dared to threaten Jihee.
Since she lost her courage, she could only try to threaten Lisa before leaving.
Other students all rounded their eyes in shock when they learned that Song Siyao turned out to be the daughter of their mayor. Most importantly, Lisa wasn’t afraid of that at all.
It actually was understandable. Lisa dared to threaten Jihee, the daughter of the Yuan family, so it was impossible that she would be scared of the daughter of the mayor.
Although Jihee was only the daughter of the collateral branch of the Yuan family, the Yuan family supported her. Therefore, she was naturally more important than the daughter of a mayor.
Everyone was curious about the reason why Lisa was able to be so confident that she even dared to offend those heirs of power.
Right when Lisa and her friends began to enjoy their meal, Heejin called her after reading the post in their school forum.
Lisa briefly explained it to Heejin, then Heejin directly told her to stay away with Jaewook.
It wasn’t because Heejin wanted to interfere in Lisa’s business, but because she was annoyed by Jaewook’s behavior.
Therefore, Lisa didn’t feel uncomfortable when Heejin told her to stay away from him. In fact, she never had the idea of being close to him.
She would say hello to him in the past, but she decided not to do that again in the future.
Heejin also asked Lisa whether she needed help, but Lisa declined. It wasn’t a big deal, and it would soon pass.
Within a short time, the drama between Lisa, Jaewook and Jihee became known to everyone in their school. The majority of the students sided with Lisa and Jihee, and some of them even apologized to them, because they were victims.
However, not many people criticized Jaewook, because he chose to do it for Lisa. In short, it was a misunderstanding, so people soon forgot about it.
Once Zhang Zikai learned that Lisa’s dorm room had a vacant bed, she proposed to move in to live with them, and Lisa agreed.
Although Yuqi and Nayeon just met Zhang Zikai, they agreed since Zhang Zikai was a good friend of Lisa.
Actually, after spending some time with Zhang Zikai, they liked her character too.
Before Zhang Zikai moved into another dorm room, she had to get agreement from her head teacher.
Given Zhang Zikai’s family background, her head teacher wouldn’t disagree, so she called her head teacher during the meal and got the agreement right away.
In the afternoon, Yuqi didn’t train, instead they went to help Zhang Zikai move into their dorm room.
Zhang Zikai was injured now, so she couldn’t move alone.
Although Zhang Zikai had taken a power crystal given by Lisa and her arm became much better, she needed to wait a day or two to remove the bandages.
Zhang Zikai’s dorm room was on the same floor in the same building as Lisa’s, but there were six dorm rooms in between.
Before long, Lisa and her friends successfully helped Zhang Zikai move into their dorm room. The vacant bed was at the bottom, which was very suitable for the injured Zhang Zikai.
