  “Sure. I will make the preparations,” said Jiang Shenyuan. “It will probably be over quickly this time. Will you come to court?”


  Gu Mang hummed a low “mm.”


  There was silence on the line for a few seconds before Jiang Shenyuan spoke again in a hesitant voice. “I know you’re in a bad mood right now, so I’ll handle this. Don’t act rashly……”


  It made one’s scalp numb to think of Gu Mang going all out.

  The girl replied emotionlessly, “Got it.”
……

  Shen Huan sneaked a cautious look at Meng Jinyang, who was quietly answering questions beside her. She wanted to say something, but felt that not saying anything right now would afford Meng Jinyang the greatest respect.

  Year Three’s seating arrangement was on a rotation basis and they were sitting at the desks closest to the door this week. There was a large group of people gathered around those who were sitting near the windows and discussing matters softly and glancing over occasionally. One did not need to guess to know what they were talking about.

  Shen Huan pursed her lips and frowned. Lu Yang and the rest were out looking for Sister Mang and no one could suppress the people in the class. Their voices began to grow louder and louder.

  “So, Meng Jinyang had something like that happen to her. She’s such a poor thing. I heard that she used to carry a bowel pouch before she underwent multiple surgeries to be able to live a normal life.” The girl gestured to her stomach. “Everything below the stomach is artificial.”


  The crowd’s expressions looked complicated and one could not tell whether they were feeling pity or something else. In short, there was discrimination.

  “What’s the use of being first in the cohort when she’s like that?” Another girl sighed. “How will she get married in the future? No one will probably like her.”


  “Thump!” A book slammed into the girl’s face.

  The girl shrieked and grimaced in pain. She stood up suddenly in indignation towards the person who threw the book. “Shen Huan! What are you doing!”


  Shen Huan stared at her icily. “Watch your mouth! Try to rank top in the cohort if you can! How can you concentrate on studying if all you want is to marry someone! You’ve even been retained before, anyway. As a 20 year-old, you’re just right for marriage.”


  “You!” The girl was at a loss of words from the retort.

  Shen Huan chuckled coldly. “But, Li Meng, it’s probably because of your character that no one likes you. You have a poor character. It’s easy to make you jealous and you feel envious whenever someone else has something good going for them!”


  Li Meng’s face instantly reddened. Raging because of the humiliation, she wanted to rush over, but she was held back by her deskmate.

  Her deskmate looked over at Shen Huan. “Shen Huan, Li Meng didn’t mean anything by it. She was only making a casual remark.”


  “A casual remark?” Shen Huan was expressionless. “Do you want to repeat your opinions in front of Shen Huan and Lu Yang when they come back?”


  Silence fell over the crowd instantly.

  Meng Jinyang tugged at Shen Huan’s sleeve. “Ignore them. I’ve already solved the question that you asked me previously. Let me explain it to you.”


  Shen Huan was extremely angry. Would they only shut up when Meng Jinyang was in tears? Everyone should be scolding the piece of sh*t that hurt Meng Jinyang! They should be cursing that piece of sh*t with a horrible death! His ashes should be scattered to the winds when he dies! They shouldn’t be discussing Meng Jinyang.

  Meng Jinyang tugged Shen Huan’s shirt again. Shen Huan looked towards Meng Jinyang, who was smiling at her nonchalantly. A lump formed in Shen Huan’s throat out of the blue. She took a deep breath and sat down to discuss the question with her.

  As Meng Jinyang explained the question to her, a genuine smile danced in the corner of her lips. She was really lucky that she was able to befriend Gu Mang and Shen Huan and she felt that her life had meaning……

  Lu Yang was the one who had summoned Xi Yan and Luo Songhua earlier. When the boy and his friends saw that Gu Mang had almost thrown Gu Yin off the floor, they were so frightened that their legs almost went numb. Afraid that something would happen, he went to get the teachers.

  Chu Yao and Fatty finally believed that Gu Mang was really awesome at fighting. It was crazy! She lifted Gu Yin up with a single hand!

  Upon returning to the classroom, they noticed something strange about the atmosphere.
