Ruan Xingchen was stunned for a moment, but didn't think much about it.

Nodding: "No need to treat me to a meal, it's just a small favor."

She reached out to pick up the suitcase, but Huo Yan took it away first.

"Let's go."

He looked indifferent and stood aside with an expressionless face.

The girl then noticed his presence and looked up at him with a hint of curiosity, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

But she quickly turned her gaze to Ruan Xingchen and said with a grateful smile, "Thank you so much. If I hadn't met you, I don't know what I would have done."

Ruan Xingchen smiled and said, "We are all classmates, so it's only natural for me to help."

During the conversation, the two exchanged names.

The girl’s name is He Caiwei. She is from Province Z and is a freshman this year.

Because I was spoiled since childhood, I used my connections to move to a double room in the graduate dormitory building.

"Senior, you are so beautiful!"

He Caiwei's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "You and your husband are a perfect match. I'd believe you if you said you were TV stars! Your parents must be very good-looking too, right?"

Her first impression was that she wasn't very approachable, but after chatting for a while she turned out to be quite talkative and enthusiastic.

"You're very beautiful too."

Ruan Xingchen chuckled and didn't answer her last question. Instead, he asked, "Your roommate hasn't arrived yet. Are you okay on your own? Do you need to be taken to the school hospital?"

"It's okay, I should be fine after a rest."

He Caiwei shook her head, took out her phone, and said, "Senior, let's add each other on WeChat... I just came to school and don't know anyone here. Can I contact you if I need anything in the future?"

Ruan Xingchen didn't refuse.

The two exchanged WeChat, and He Caiwei smiled, put away her phone, thanked them again, and sent them out of the dormitory.

After leaving the dormitory building, Huo Yan quietly looked up at the building and said calmly, "There's something wrong with her."

The attitude changed a little too quickly.

He was obviously cold and aloof before, and looked difficult to approach, but suddenly he became so enthusiastic towards Ruan Xingchen.

"Maybe he's in a new place and wants to find someone to keep him company."

Ruan Xingchen smiled indifferently and tilted his head and said, "Just a little girl."

After a brief exchange, the two did not continue discussing this topic and left side by side.

They didn't know that someone was taking pictures of them from behind a window high up.

After the report, there were still two days before the official classes started, but the photo of Ruan Xingchen going to school still became a hot topic.

When her college entrance examination results came out, the grand occasion of the lottery drawn by Huo and Huo Yan was still vivid in her mind. Moreover, she was indeed a trending topic, so it was natural that her photos would go viral when they were released.

While countless netizens were licking the screen, a marketing account suddenly posted an article, accusing Ruan Zeming of death and Ruan Xingchen of not even attending the funeral, showing lack of filial piety.

As soon as this news broke out, the comments immediately skyrocketed.

"Oh, this! I was thinking Ms. Ruan was beautiful and intelligent and wanted to be her fan... She didn't even show up after her own father died. How cold-blooded!"

"No matter what, the dead are the greatest. It's horrible for someone to not even love their own parents!"

"At least he gave her life. How cruel and heartless."

"There are no bad parents in the world. Besides, when someone dies, everything disappears into thin air. It would be too much not to see them off!"

"Is that true? Even if the relationship is very distant, it's impossible not to attend the funeral, right?"

"It's been a long time since a marketing account dared to come out and talk about that lady. Guess when this account will be sued?"

"Ruan Zeming did so many disgusting things, why should he be forgiven just because he's dead? It's Ms. Ruan's freedom to go or not, and someone is asking for forgiveness from someone else?"

"He was my biological father after all. He didn't even want to see me off after my death. How cold-hearted."

"Why would a scum who doesn't respect his parents get so angry?"

There is never a shortage of people who are magnanimous towards others in life, not to mention that Chinese people really believe that the dead are greater, as if once a person dies, all the evil he has done can be forgiven.

Seeing this trending search, Ruan Xingchen looked calm.

Since she did this, she is certainly not afraid of being talked about by others.

Netizens discovered that Ruan Xingchen reposted the post shortly afterwards, responding concisely: "Really, I didn't go. I didn't go before, and I won't go to pay my respects in the future. He had no role in my life, and his life or death has nothing to do with me."

She never believed that the dead should be forgiven.

The reason she was able to get to this point in her life was because she had learned enough lessons through blood and tears.

She knows best how much suffering and hardship she had in her previous life.

What's more, Ruan Zeming is not worth her worrying about.

Lin Changpei had helped him start from scratch and build up the Ruan family. It was fine that he had an affair and killed Lin Changpei.

After Lin Changpei died, his grandmother had a heart attack, but he was unwilling to spend money to treat her.

Ruan should have had half of Lin Changpei's fortune. If she knew that after her death, her mother would be sick and couldn't even afford the money for hospitalization, I wonder how sad she would be.

In her previous life, Ruan Xingchen never received any love from Ruan Zeming and never ate a grain of rice from him.

Even if he took two or three million from him in this life, it would still be far less than the inheritance that Lin Changpei should have.

She has a clear conscience.

Her response was so clear and firm that the onlookers couldn't help but be stunned by her toughness.

But before people on the Internet could react and start a craze, another video started to go viral.

Looking at the video that was on the hot search, Ruan Xingchen's eyes showed a hint of coldness and sarcasm.

No wonder it took so long for the news of her not attending the funeral to be revealed.

It turns out there was someone behind the scenes.

It’s just that some people, after being dodders for a long time, get used to relying on men for their lives, and their methods become much more crude.

I jumped out in such a hurry.

"Do you want me to remove the trending search?" Huo Yan was also reading the news online. His brows furrowed slightly, a hint of coldness in his eyes. He said calmly, "I'll handle it for Madam."

"Not urgent."

Ruan Xingchen chuckled, tapped the screen with his fingertips, and said thoughtfully, "Mr. Huo, where did Jiang Qiuyu get the money to make such a big fuss?"

That’s right, the person who caused all this trouble was none other than Jiang Qiuyu, who had been silent for a long time.

She now stood up and played the victim in front of the public, saying that the Ruan family had gone bankrupt and owed countless foreign debts.

She was used to being a housewife and was unable to bear the responsibility of raising Ruan Jiaci alone. She hoped that Ruan Xingchen, as her older sister, could share the pressure with her.

After all, blood is thicker than water, and half of the blood flows in the body.

Watching her heartfelt calls in the video and shedding two tender tears from time to time, Ruan Xingchen could hardly hold back her laughter.

The tear of crocodile.
