ould lead people to block his way.Kana immediately pulled out her phone, lit up the screen, and held it up to Ming Sihan's face.“ Lian Xing'er, eighteen years old, the youngest daughter of Leng Yechen...He SiSi sat in the passenger seat, chattering incessantly: "What's so good about Lian Xing Is she very pretty I don't think she's that pretty! She's just rich. My family is rich too! Why does Brother Si Han care about her so much"

" "..." He continued to drive, without a word.

"

"Brother, since you don't have a girlfriend, why don't you go after Lian Xing'er"

As soon as she spoke, a screeching brake sound suddenly pierced her ears.

He Zechuan slammed on the brakes, and He Sisi's body would have hit the windshield headfirst if she hadn't been fastened in her seatbelt.

"Brother, what are you doing" He SiSi couldn't help but roar.

He Zechuan only narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly grinned coldly.

When He Si Si saw the ambiguous smile on her older brother's handsome face, she also felt a chill down her spine.

He Zechuan didn't answer He Sitsi's words, but instead released the brakes and stepped on the accelerator.

It was another reflex, driving He SiSi's body to instinctively lean back.

"Brother, can you drive a little more carefully" He Si Si complained in the car.

On the other side, as Xing'er just stepped into the bedroom, Gu Qianning, Zhao An Tong and Lu Ya Wen immediately crowded around her, each vying to gossip:

"Did you have lunch with Ming Sihan today"

"Xing'er, isn't your boyfriend Ming Sichan"

"Ming Sihan is the school heartthrob, you sure you don't want to openly admit your relationship"

Three people, one sentence each.

After rejecting every star child one by one, Lian Xing concocted a reason: "Actually! Ming Sihan and I are cousins."

"Huh" The three of them looked at each other in surprise.

Lian Xing'er smiled knowingly, then went on to weave a lie: "I only found out recently too. It turns out he's the descendant of my mom's maternal uncle's brother."

" "..." Gu Qianning, Lu Yamin, and Zhao Antong blushed simultaneously.

After knowing that Lian Xing'er was deliberately lying, the three of them stopped talking about it.

However, after that incident on the forum, her reputation as Star-child was well known throughout Limhai University.

There's a saying going around: you can mess with anyone, but don't mess with Lian Xing'er.

Otherwise, you'll either receive a court summons or be sipping tea at the police station.

That day, even when Xing'er just went to the restroom, as soon as she entered the door, the girls inside saw her and scattered out the door like they had seen a mother tiger.

During class, besides Gu Qianning and her two friends, every other student, regardless of gender, kept a distance of two meters from her.

Even her professor, who used to call on her to answer questions in class, now avoids calling on her.

Each one of them seemed afraid of offending her.

Although Xing'er felt a little uncomfortable with everyone's apprehension towards her, she quickly dismissed the matter.

Until she finished her morning classes and was on her way back to the dormitory with Gu Qianning and the others, she encountered a middle-aged couple downstairs. This incident once again abruptly intruded into her mind.

“Excuse me, are you Lian Xing'er” A woman dressed in fine clothes but with a haggard face suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Lian Xing'er’s hand.

Lian Xing'er and Gu Qianning looked at each other, then stammered, "Yes, we are. May I ask, who are you"

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie immediately explained, "We are Zhu Xiao's parents."

Gu Qianning immediately understood and politely said to Lian Xing'er, "Xing'er, we should go up first. You guys can chat slowly."

Lián Xīng'ěr nodded.

Gu Qianning then pulled Zhao An Tong and Lu Ya Min back to their dormitory first.

The woman glanced at Gu Qianning and the others' backs, waited until they were out of sight, then looked back at Lian Xing'er, her voice low and husky as she continued, "Could you talk to me privately about my daughter Xiaoxi"

"Whatever you have to say, just say it here!" Lian Xing'er said indifferently.

The middle-aged man stepped forward and pleaded, "Can we go somewhere more private"

Liènxīng'er glanced at the middle-aged man, then at the woman, and with a reluctant smile, nodded to agree to their request.

Now that it's time for after-class free activities in the morning, there are people everywhere you go in the school.

Then, the couple suggested going to a coffee shop outside of school for a sit.

Lian Xing'er wasn't afraid of the couple's schemes at all, so she readily agreed.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhu booked a private room at the cafe, suitable for protecting the privacy of a conversation between three people.

After the waiter served the coffee, the woman took out a bulky manila envelope from her handbag and handed it to Lian Xing'er.

"Lien, there's 20,000 yuan here. Do you think that's enough" the woman asked in a hushed voice.

Lian Xing'er looked at the woman puzzled and asked, "Auntie, what do you mean"

Before the woman could reply, the middle-aged man spoke first: "Child, take this money. It's our compensation to you."
