After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

Chen Ming told Chen Yitian about what had happened before, and that Zhang Lingqian had no grudge against Qi Wenxuan and the others.

He couldn't understand why Qi Wenxuan would make things difficult for Zhang Lingqian, so Chen Ming suspected that he was involved in the matter.

"Son, you said before that those thugs were hired by Zhao Rou. Could this matter be related to Zhao Rou?"

Chen Yitian's opinion of Zhao Rou has now become very negative. He doesn't mind speculating about Zhao Rou with the utmost malice, thinking that this girl is capable of anything.

If Zhao Rou was able to bring in thugs to ambush Chen Ming at school, then she could certainly do the same thing, instructing these thugs to bully Zhang Lingqian.

After listening to Chen Yitian's words, Chen Ming nodded in agreement, also feeling that this matter was largely related to Zhao Rou.

“Dad, I’ve decided to go to the school tomorrow and ask Zhao Rou in person. If she really did it, I don’t think I need to be polite to her.”

By the end, Chen Ming's tone had become extremely cold. He could tolerate Zhao Rou's previous difficulties with him.

Anyway, he's a grown man, so he's not afraid of Zhao Rou's difficult behavior at all.

But Zhang Lingqian is innocent. She is just a young girl. How could she possibly fight against someone as vicious as Zhao Rou?

Most importantly, Zhang Lingqian is now a helper in their family, so Chen Ming certainly couldn't just stand by and watch Zhao Rou bully her.

The next morning, Chen Ming went to school. It was Monday, and all the students arrived very early.

When Chen Ming arrived at the classroom, Zhao Rou was already sitting in her seat.

Seeing this, Chen Ming walked straight towards Zhao Rou.

Previously, Chen Ming had always ignored Zhao Rou. This was the first time in a long time that Chen Ming had turned his attention to her, and Zhao Rou was somewhat flattered.

"Chen Ming, what do you need me for?"

For some reason, Zhao Rou felt a little guilty, because she had just instructed Qi Wenxuan to drive Zhang Lingqian away from the Chen family's fishpond yesterday.

The next day, Chen Ming came to see her. Zhao Rou suspected that Chen Ming knew something. Could it be that Qi Wenxuan had betrayed her?

Meeting Zhao Rou's somewhat guilty gaze, Chen Ming immediately smiled.

"It's nothing. Yesterday, Qi Wenxuan and his gang came to the fishpond to cause me trouble, and that's when I found out they had actually been released. Normally, without bail, they should have been in jail for fifteen days."

"I'm curious who bailed them out. I heard you're quite close to them. Do you know who it was?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rou became even more guilty and quickly shook her head to deny it, saying, "You misunderstood. I don't know them at all. I just happened to see them a few times at an internet cafe before."

"As for who bailed them out, I don't know, maybe it was their family?"

"Really? I heard that you were the one who bailed Qi Wenxuan and the others out?"

"Actually, I can understand why you did this, since they were instructed by you to come to the school to cause me trouble."

"Later, I took them to the police station. As the instigator, you naturally have a responsibility to rescue them."

As Chen Ming said this, his expression became ambiguous, as if he were smiling but not smiling.

"Chen Ming, you've really misunderstood me. I only wanted them to warn you, I didn't instruct them to do anything to you."

"After I found out about this, I broke off all contact with them and we haven't had any contact since. You have to believe me."

As Zhao Rou finished speaking, she once again revealed a pitiful expression, looking as if she had been very wronged.

However, Chen Ming wasn't buying it, and his classmates also kept their distance from her.

Their positive perception of Zhao Rou had been shattered, and having witnessed her vicious nature, they naturally no longer felt any pity for her.

"Zhao Rou, stop pretending. Do you think we don't know what kind of person you are? How could you possibly break off relations with those thugs?"

"You were the one who did what happened last night, weren't you? And you even dared to instigate them to target Chen Ming?"

After listening to the whole story, Li Yu's opinion of Zhao Rou immediately plummeted.

He had always thought Zhao Rou was a cunning girl, but now he realized that Zhao Rou had only broadened his understanding; this girl was truly vicious.

Chen Ming was merely refusing to be her lapdog anymore, yet Zhao Rou treated him so badly.

"I didn't. I just told them to drive Zhang Lingqian away. No one instructed them to target Chen Ming!"

Faced with Li Yu's accusations, Zhao Rou felt wronged. This time, she clearly did not instruct Qi Wenxuan and the others to target Chen Ming. She would never admit to something she did not do.

Therefore, Zhao Rou inadvertently let slip her true thoughts.

Upon hearing this, the entire class fell into complete silence.

At this moment, Zhao Rou realized that she had said the wrong thing. How could she reveal her true intentions?

How would her classmates view her? Would Chen Ming think she was a vicious girl?

"Chen Ming, don't misunderstand, I can explain..."

“You don’t need to explain. Zhang Lingqian has done nothing to you, yet you want to drive her away from the Chen family’s fishpond.”

"You know perfectly well that Zhang Lingqian works at my house to earn tuition fees."

"If she loses this job, she'll have a hard time making a living. How could you be so cruel as to try and kill a young girl like that!"

As Chen Ming said this, his gaze toward Zhao Rou was filled with disgust.

Upon hearing this, the classmates finally understood the truth: Zhao Rou had instructed those thugs to target Zhang Lingqian.

But why? Zhao Rou and Zhang Lingqian had no conflict whatsoever, and they weren't even in the same class.

Thinking of this, the students suddenly turned their attention to Chen Ming. Chen Ming had been the talk of the school recently, and everyone regarded him as an idol.

Many girls at school have fallen for Chen Ming and become her fans. Could it be that Zhao Rou has also changed her mind and wants to start over with Chen Ming?

Therefore, Zhao Roucai regarded Zhang Lingqian as a thorn in his side, and even hired thugs to target her.

Thinking of this, the atmosphere in the class became filled with gossip, and all the students turned their curious gazes to Chen Ming and Zhao Rou.

“I know what I did was a bit excessive, but Zhang Lingqian shamelessly seduced you, and I just wanted to warn her. Besides, she can find other jobs even if she loses this one.”

"Furthermore, I have also spoken with Qi Wenxuan and asked them to introduce Zhang Lingqian to other jobs. I have no intention of forcing her to commit suicide."

Zhao Rou knew that if she didn't explain things clearly today, she would definitely be labeled as malicious by everyone.

So she attributed everything to jealousy and wanted to clear her name of any stains.

It has to be said that Zhao Rou is really good at manipulating people's hearts. After she twisted the truth, the students in the class suddenly understood.
