Seeing that there was still some time before the first class in the morning, Chen Dong first sent Guo Miao and Yu Qin back to the classroom to get them out of the way.

After the two left, Chen Dong looked at Chu Mengran with deep gratitude, his eyes overflowing with affection.

"Mengran, thank you for your unwavering belief in me."

“When I was in the office, I saw you so anxiously defending me, your eyes were even red, and I was really touched.”

"You know what? At that moment, I felt that you were my strongest support."

Chu Mengran smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, a gesture that was both elegant and charming.

She said with a smile, "I'm your girlfriend, and I firmly believe in you. Isn't that what I should do?"

"If I don't stand by you when you're in trouble, what kind of girlfriend am I?"

Chen Dong was immediately drawn to Chu Mengran's smile, staring at her blankly with infatuation in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "Meng Ran is so understanding and trusting; she's really too charming."

"In my past life, I saw too many couples break up because of a little bit of wealth or a little bit of distrust."

"Not to mention the countless boyfriend-girlfriend relationships."

"In this life, choosing Mengran as my girlfriend was truly the best decision I ever made!"

"Meng Ran~"

Chen Dong snapped out of his daze, called out Chu Mengran's name softly, and then gently pulled her into his arms.

Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Chu Mengran blushed instantly, her cheeks turning crimson like ripe apples.

I tried to push it away but found that I couldn't muster any strength.

He could only whisper, "I'm at school now, and I have early class soon."

"It would be so embarrassing if our classmates saw us like this."

Chen Dong chuckled softly, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze, and parted gently.

He held Chu Mengran's shoulders with both hands, gazed at her affectionately, and smiled, "Meeting you is the greatest happiness of my life."

"From now on, no matter what happens, we'll face it together, okay?"

Chu Mengran's face was as red as a ripe apple, just like a steampunk princess from an anime.

She patted Chen Dong lightly, blushing, and said reproachfully, "You're so good at talking. Hurry up, or we'll be late."

After that, Chen Dong withdrew his hand and walked towards the classroom with Chu Mengran.

The two figures were stretched long in the morning light, exuding the beauty and sweetness of youth.

......

During the morning exercise break, sunlight streamed through the classroom windows and fell on the desks, creating dappled light and shadow.

Chen Dong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then called out to Guo Miao, "Guo Miao!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet classroom.

Upon hearing Chen Dong's call, Guo Miao immediately put down the textbook she was organizing and quickly walked to Chen Dong's seat.

With a questioning look on his face, he asked in confusion, "Brother Dong, what's wrong?"

Chen Dong glanced at Guo Miao, then turned to look at Chu Mengran, and said with a slightly serious expression, "I need to tell you that I have to leave for a while."

"Guo Miao, could you please tell Teacher Pan that I'm skipping the morning exercises and need to go to the convenience store to make a phone call?"

Guo Miao nodded without hesitation and replied, "Okay, Brother Dong, don't worry, I will definitely pass on the message."

Chu Mengran understood why Chen Dong had called, and nodded slightly in understanding, saying, "Chen Dong, go ahead, be careful."

Then, Chen Dong stood up and straightened his clothes.

He calmly left the classroom as his classmates headed to the playground for their morning exercises.

Seeing Shen Yue leave after Chen Dong finished explaining things, her heart suddenly tightened, as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

Her eyes were filled with unease, and she prayed silently, "I hope this won't affect me."

"I also hope it won't cause too much trouble for my white moonlight Hao Hao."

Chen Dong arrived at the school store, which was filled with the aroma of various snacks.

He walked to the counter, smiled and said to the owner, "Boss, I'd like to make a phone call, thank you for your help."

The shop owner was a kind middle-aged man who readily agreed, saying, "Sure, young man, go ahead and use it."

Chen Dong took the phone and dialed the number for his father Chen Jianguo's office.

The phone kept dialing.

A moment later, the call connected, and Chen Jianguo's calm and authoritative voice rang out: "Hello, who is this?"

Chen Dong quickly said, "Dad, it's me, Chen Dong."

Chen Jianguo asked with a hint of doubt in his voice, "Dongzi, why are you calling at this hour? Is something wrong?"

Chen Dong gathered his thoughts and replied simply, "Dad, I was misunderstood at school because I had a lot of pocket money."

“There’s a guy in Class 8 named Tao Hao who keeps saying that I’m being kept by a rich woman and he’s also accusing you of embezzlement and bribery. This is going too far, and I don’t know what to do.”

On the other end of the phone, Chen Jianguo remained silent for a moment.

He knew perfectly well what Chen Dong meant by being generous.

My wife and I give our son at least 30 yuan a month as pocket money.

Chen Dong used the money to curry favor with Shen Yue, and then switched to someone else to curry favor with Chu Mengran.

Chen Jianguo sighed slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said authoritatively, "I understand about this matter."

"I'll go to the school this afternoon, so don't worry about it."

Chen Dong smiled, feeling relieved, and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll wait for you."

Then he hung up the phone, gave the one yuan he had spent on the call to the shop owner, and turned to walk towards the classroom.

I'm already looking forward to the show this afternoon.

In the office of the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau, Chen Jianguo sat at his desk with a sullen face, his fingers tapping lightly on the surface.

He picked up the phone again and dialed the number for the principal's office at Nanjiang No. 1 Middle School.

The phone rang in the principal's office. The principal picked it up and asked, "Hello, who is this? What's up?"

Chen Jianguo said solemnly, "Hello, I am Chen Jianguo, the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau, and I am also the father of Chen Dong, a student at your school."

The principal was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized what he meant and said in a flattering tone, "Oh, it's Director Chen! I've heard so much about you."

"What can I do for you?"

Chen Jianguo said sternly, "Students from your school openly bullied my son and even accused me of embezzlement and bribery."

"I will come over here this afternoon specifically to discuss this matter. I am just calling to let you know in advance."

After saying that, Chen Jianguo hung up the phone.

In the principal's office, the principal was completely stunned, the phone still pressed against his ear, he didn't put it down for a long time.

After a while, he came to his senses, and a surge of anger welled up inside him.
