Lin Zhenzhen's plan was well thought out, but unfortunately she didn't anticipate that Shen Yanzan would appear halfway and she never expected her own momentary greed to trap her in such an awkward situation.

When faced with Shen Yanzan's hairpin, she still couldn't resist the temptation of over a thousand yuan. A thousand yuan, that was barely enough for her to scrape together in a week of work. Her family was not well-off, and they favored sons over daughters. Ever since she started high school, her parents no longer gave her any living expenses.

Nowadays, besides the scholarship she receives from school, her main source of income comes from odd jobs she picks up outside. It must be said that the temptation of Liang Zhaowan's one thousand yuan is truly significant to her.

So when Chen Yan offered to give her money to Shen Yanzan, she tentatively took out one hundred yuan. As expected, Liang Zhaowan didn't say anything, nor did she expose her. She calmly accepted the remaining money as her due.

However, now that this matter has been raised and doubted by the crowds watching, Lin Zhenzhen felt a bit stifled under the countless malicious gazes coming from all directions.

Why is it that everyone is human, yet Liang Zhaowan can live carefree as a young lady, while she has to run around for a mere one thousand yuan and be ridiculed?

The money was voluntarily given by Liang Zhaowan! She is not at fault!

"Lin Zhenzhen, tell the truth, did Liang Zhaowan really only give you a hundred yuan?" Just as Lin Zhenzhen was comforting herself, she heard the voice of Chen Yanxi beside her. She turned her head and saw Chen Yanxi looking at her with a gaze full of doubt, no longer trusting her as she did at the beginning when she rushed back to stand up for her without hesitation.

Her fingertips were slightly cold, causing Lin Zhenzhen to shiver uncontrollably. She couldn't speak the truth! If she did, she feared everything would truly be ruined. If news of this incident got out, those part-time jobs she had found outside would probably never hire her again. She had to keep her mouth shut. After all, Liang Zhaowan hadn't exposed her just now, and it was unlikely that she would do so now.

Only the two of them knew how much money Liang Zhaowan had given her. As long as she didn't speak up, this matter would be considered over.

"Lin Zhenzhen, tell me, how much money did you really take from Liang Zhaowan?" Chen Yanxi asked again, his gaze burning into Lin Zhenzhen's eyes, as if Lin Zhenzhen's every word would be enough to expose her lies with a single glance.

Chen Yanxi didn't know Lin Zhenzhen for a long time, but because they were classmates, they inevitably had more contact. In his impression, Lin Zhenzhen was a timid and obedient little girl. She had good grades and could endure hardship. She always unknowingly attracted people's attention, so he paid a little more attention to her.

When Lin Zhenzhen hurried past him today, he casually asked her why. Upon hearing that Liang Zhaowan had sent her to buy food, his immediate reaction was that Liang Zhaowan was bullying her.

After all, Liang Zhaowan was universally acknowledged as the heiress in their circle. Whenever she went out, she would be surrounded by a group of people. Her good friends were eager to elevate her status, but when she arrived at school, she was no longer adored by so many. It seemed that bullying a classmate had become something as normal as can be for Liang Zhaowan.

At that time, Lin Zhenzhen was bowing her head, with a cautious and careful appearance. The Chen family and the Liang family were close friends, and he and Liang Zhaowan had grown up together since they were young. Therefore, he couldn't just stand idly by and watch Liang Zhaowan bully their classmates in the class. In a moment of impulsiveness, he took Lin Zhenzhen with him and confronted Liang Zhaowan without any regard for the consequences.
