"Why did he hit you? Why didn't he hit others?"

Zhang Cheng said arrogantly: "He is jealous of our family's wealth."

Shen Anran chuckled and asked, "If they beat you because they're jealous of your wealth, then according to what you said, does that mean all poor people have a reason to beat you?"

Zhang Cheng was so angry that he stomped his feet and turned to his father for help.

"Dad, hurry up and drive these people away so they can't survive in S City."

Shen Anran turned her head and her eyes fell on her homeroom teacher, Teacher Li.

She asked calmly, "Teacher Li, as the class teacher, do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this matter?"

Teacher Li seemed a little embarrassed and hesitated for a moment. "Well... you should apologize to Boss Zhang and admit your mistake. After all, judging from the current situation, it was indeed Liu who made the mistake first."

When Shen Anran heard this, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

She said coldly, "Okay, in that case, please produce the evidence. I want to check the surveillance video to see if it is my brother's fault."

Teacher Li replied somewhat uncomfortably, "But... the surveillance equipment broke down a while ago, so we can't provide any video now."

The corners of Shen Anran's mouth rose slightly, but without a trace of warmth.

As expected, the world of novels can never avoid this joke.

Zhang Teng's attitude was arrogant and domineering. He said coldly, "I'm not the kind of person who is rude and unreasonable. As long as you are willing to kneel down and kowtow to me and admit your mistakes, I can consider letting you go this time."

Liu Shuming tightly grasped the corner of Shen Anran's clothes, his eyes filled with deep regret and self-blame.

He shouldn't have caused trouble and let her suffer like this.

Their relationship was not good to begin with, and now she was afraid that she would be disappointed.

Zhang Cheng said excitedly: "Hurry, Liu Shuming, kowtow to me and I will let you go."

He was inferior to Liu Shuming in study, and now he has finally got his revenge and is determined to humiliate him severely.

Liu Shuming clenched his fists, his inner anger reached its peak, and he wished he could kill him immediately.

Shen Anran noticed his abnormality and gave him a reassuring look.

She said slowly, "Oh? It sounds like your father is quite remarkable, but it's strange that I've never heard of his name."

Zhang Cheng seemed a little proud, but also a little dissatisfied, and retorted: "You don't know my dad? My dad Zhang Teng is a well-known figure in S City."

There was a sense of superiority in his tone, as if his family background was enough for him to dominate S City.

When Shen Anran heard the name, her memory finally came back.

She raised the corners of her lips slightly, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes: "So it's Boss Zhang, I've heard a lot about you. I wonder if you know someone named Su Jin, she's a big star."

A hint of barely perceptible panic flashed across Zhang Teng's eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, but you must have heard of a place called Royal Bay."

Zhang Cheng interrupted curiously and asked, "Dad, who is Su Jin?"

"She is..." Shen Anran just started to speak, but was interrupted by Zhang Teng hastily.

"That's enough. Let's end today. I don't have time to waste with you."

Shen Anran naturally would not compromise easily, "Shu Ming, tell me, what exactly happened today?"

Liu Shuming took a step forward and said calmly, "I accidentally bumped into him when I was going downstairs today, and then classmate Zhang got angry."

Zhang Cheng's face flushed instantly, and he almost jumped up in anger, "Let go of you..."

However, before he could finish his curse words, he was interrupted by a loud slap.

Zhang Teng's palm landed hard on Zhang Cheng's face.

His voice was cold and hard: "I asked you to study hard, but what nonsense are you learning? Apologize to your classmates immediately."

Zhang Cheng's eyes were full of disbelief. He covered his beaten cheek and looked at him in disbelief.

"Dad, you actually hit me for a stranger?" Zhang Cheng said and ran away crying.

Zhang Teng looked at Shen Anran with complicated eyes, which contained both warning and murderous intent.

The Su Jin that Shen Anran mentioned was the woman he secretly kept outside.

Only he and his secretary knew about this. Could it be that the secretary leaked the secret?

He stopped Shen Anran from speaking further because his current achievements and status were all obtained thanks to his wife.

If his wife found out he had a woman outside, he could be kicked out of the house and lose everything.

Shen Anran knew what he was afraid of, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Boss Zhang, today's matter ends here."

Zhang Teng snorted coldly and turned away.

The head teacher stood aside, looking dazed and confused, obviously at a loss as to what had just happened.

Boss Zhang, who had been so aggressive earlier, became flustered after she mentioned Su Jin and left in a hurry like a coward.

Could it be that Boss Zhang and Su Jin are having an affair?

Su Jin is a big star. If this matter gets out, it will probably cause a sensation in the entire entertainment industry.

"Teacher Li, I'll ask for two days' leave for my brother."

"Okay, by the way, is the Su Jin you mentioned the same as..."

"Teacher Li." Shen Anran interrupted her, her tone carrying an undeniable warning, "I think you should be very clear about what to say and what not to say."

The head teacher nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, take your brother to the hospital."

Shen Anran did not continue the topic and walked out of the office with Liu Shuming.

After they left, the head teacher returned to his desk and opened the student file.

In Liu Shuming's family relationship column, only his parents' information was filled in, and no information about his sister was mentioned.

The head teacher muttered to himself, "Strange, since they are not siblings, why are they so protective of him? They even go against Boss Zhang."

Walking out of the school gate, Liu Shuming followed Shen Anran obediently, with a barely perceptible panic in his eyes.

Shen Anran suddenly stopped, turned around and looked directly at Liu Shuming.

Calmly asked, "Now that there's no one else around, can you tell me why you're fighting with others?"

Liu Shuming lowered his head and was silent for a moment before he replied in a low voice: "He said bad things about you, and I was so angry that I hit him."

Shen Anran sighed softly and raised her hand to rub his head.

"Don't be so impulsive in the future. Even if you have to fight, make sure you are safe instead of getting yourself hurt."

Liu Shuming's eyes were filled with grievance, and his voice was a bit coquettish: "Sister, please don't be angry, okay?"

Shen Anran's eyes revealed helplessness. "I'm angry because you let yourself get hurt and don't know how to take care of yourself. Since you call me sister, I will definitely protect you."

"I won't do that again." Liu Shuming immediately promised with a firm look in his eyes.

"Let's go to the hospital and check your injuries."

"okay."

Liu Shuming was extremely happy, and the corners of his mouth were raised so high that they were almost as bright as the sun.

Shen Anran's words were like a reassurance, making him feel at ease. The two of them tacitly understood each other and did not expose each other.

However, his joy did not last long.

When they arrived at the station, they found that the last bus had stopped running.

In the sunset, the station was empty, with only the two of them standing there.
