After I died, I became the white moonlight of the crazy villain.

I pursed my lips and forcefully pulled my arm away.

Xiang Jiao and the people behind her looked at me with mockery and ridicule. Being stared at by so many people actually calmed me down a bit.

"My reputation is none of your concern."

I turned to leave, intending to explain things to Ge Zeyu another day.

Xiang Jiao quickly stepped aside, blocking my way, her chin slightly raised. "You're about to die, what are you still being arrogant about? You played a trick on Young Master Ge today, so just wait to be expelled from school!"

People in the school had heard about Ge Zeyu's background to some extent, so it would be easy for him to cause trouble for someone if he wanted to.

No one at school knew that Ge Zeyu and I were childhood sweethearts, and thanks to my mother's upbringing, I never flaunted my family background.

This, in turn, led to these people looking down on others.

I gave a cold laugh. "You think you can make decisions for Ge Zeyu? Well, I'll be waiting to see."

She paused, her brows furrowing in a cold glare. "Jiang Wanying, you're shameless! You caused such a commotion today just to attract Song, the school heartthrob?"

"Unfortunately, you overdid it and let everyone see through your true colors. You deserve it."

"Don't say that, everyone. Wanwan just likes Song Chenhao too much." Bian Jiahui came over and tugged at Xiang Jiao's sleeve. "We're all classmates. Wanwan definitely didn't mean to embarrass everyone."

Her words, which added fuel to the fire, immediately caused all the classmates, led by Xiang Jiao, to start whispering and gossiping. "She's really embarrassing us girls, deliberately making people look bad, and then saying it's a joke. Does she really think that the school heartthrob Song will appreciate it?"

"They even tricked Young Master Ge. They're definitely not going to have a good time now. The last person who offended Young Master Ge dropped out of school long ago."

I didn't take these comments to heart. In my past life, these people were also constantly ostracizing me under Bian Jiahui's pretentious instigation.

I have no respect for people like them who bully the powerful and look down on the weak.

Song Chenhao frowned, but then turned around and interrupted them, saying that this was outside and there was no need to make a scene, and asked Bian Jiahui to take her classmates inside first.

I raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. Usually, when people in my class bullied me, he would always remain indifferent. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to speak up for me.

I was still wondering why he would be so kind for no reason, but I soon found out the answer.

Bian Jiahui was taken aback by Song Chenhao's words. She was probably also surprised that Song Chenhao would step in to help her.

But she bit her lip and ultimately called Xiang Jiao and the others to go inside together.

Once they were all inside the private room, Song Chenhao turned around, his expression shifting from helplessness to cold indifference, his eyes filled with an inexplicable certainty. "Jiang Wanying, you made me lose face so badly tonight. If you want me to forgive you, then give me your sapphire and a necklace of equal value."

"Consider it an investment in my project. But forget about the previous 5% stake. And don't do any more unnecessary things in the future. You're not smart to begin with, and the more you do, the more annoying you become."

I narrowed my eyes slightly. Song Chenhao really hasn't changed. He used to like to use various occasions and opportunities to suppress me, making me constantly doubt myself, and then completely depend on him.

It seems he is very confident in his mind control methods.

Beneath his arrogant and unyielding expression lay such blatant greed; I must have been blind in my past life to have missed it.

I feel disgusted just looking at it now. "Idiot!"

After saying that, I turned and left.

Behind her came Song Chenhao's angry voice, "Jiang Wanying, you will regret this. Even if you beg me with tears in your eyes, I will never forgive you."

Hearing his voice, I quickened my pace. I don't know where he got his confidence from, but he was so sure that I would beg him.

I never realized in my past life that he was not only an ingrate, but also mentally challenged.

I originally planned to go and explain things to Ge Zeyu first thing tomorrow morning, but I forgot that I am still a student and don't have classes on Saturdays and Sundays.

After two comfortable days at home, I ate breakfast early Monday morning and couldn't wait to rush to school.

As soon as I entered the classroom, I heard my classmates excitedly discussing the competition.

Xiang Jiao glanced at me sideways, her voice suddenly rising, "I think the first place in this competition belongs to Song Xiaocao. We saw it in the lab before. The robot that Song Xiaocao developed is something you can't find on the market right now."

"He's almost like the robots we imagine in science fiction movies. Song, the school heartthrob, has really brought honor to our class. Some people will regret it later."

I knew she was saying it on purpose for me to hear, but I wasn't worried.

In his previous life, Song Chenhao succeeded only because of Su Jiayi. Even though Song Chenhao was reborn in this life, and even though he had the advantage and broadened his horizons, his mind wouldn't be changed, and he wouldn't suddenly gain knowledge he hadn't learned before.

I put down my schoolbag and went to Ge Zeyu's classroom. I went to check on him during every break, trying to explain the plan to him, but he didn't come all morning.

My heart sank. Where did Ge Zeyu go?

I sent him a message to explain, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea. Is he deliberately avoiding me?

I was a little dazed and didn't notice the person standing in front of me until Xiang Jiao rudely pushed me away.

I staggered involuntarily, and only managed to steady myself by grabbing the table next to me.

"what are you doing?"

"Of course we're here to laugh at you! After offending Young Master Ge, you still want to use the same old tricks and eagerly fawn over him? Now that no one's protecting you, are you scared?"

With a broad smile and a provocative tone, she said, "School Heartthrob Song is about to bring glory to our class. I advise you to stop with those embarrassing tricks. If you keep bothering School Heartthrob Song, you'll be affecting our class's honor. Don't blame the rest of us for teaching you a lesson."

"Song Chenhao won first place in the competition?" I asked back.

She said dejectedly, "Not yet, but..."

Before she could finish speaking, I interrupted her, "Let's wait until he actually wins first place in the competition. Isn't it arrogant to make such boastful claims now?"

Xiang Jiao wanted to argue, saying how amazing the robot Song Chenhao made was.

I was no longer in the mood to listen. Su Jiayi sent me a message saying that the entry had been submitted and that although she didn't know exactly what place it would get, a top-three finish was definitely not a problem.

This news put my mind at ease.

I sent him a congratulatory message and told him to let me know if he needed anything financial.

All I can do is offer financial support.

I had just finished replying when my phone rang again. It was an invitation from Su Jiayi. He said that the municipal government attaches great importance to this competition and that the awards ceremony and interviews will be held at the municipal library. He wanted me to come and watch the awards ceremony and share the joy with him.

He told me that, on the one hand, he didn't have many friends, and I was the first person to support him, so in his heart I was his friend; on the other hand, it was also an opportunity to promote our company.

Without much hesitation, I immediately replied "okay".

If I could live my life again, this competition would be the turning point in my and Song Chenhao's lives. How could I not go? I want to see with my own eyes whether Song Chenhao would still be convinced that he could become the richest man he has always dreamed of after learning the results!
