Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

"I wouldn't say I know him, but I have a vivid memory of his face."

The hospital lights were dim that night, and she remembered this face the moment she saw it.

Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that this face is really beautiful.

It's even more amazing when viewed during the day.

Jiang Lai looked Si Yuan up and down. "Si Yuan... your surname is Si. Are you a daughter of the Si family?"

The words "Si family girl" came out of her mouth with a strong sense of mockery and contempt.

Si Yuan sensed that the other party had ill intentions and did not intend to pay any attention to them.

Zheng Meimei answered Jiang Lai's question, "Yes, it's the Si family, the fifth largest family in the capital."

"If I remember correctly, there are only four major families in the capital: the Bo, Jiang, Gu, and Xiang families. Where did this fifth family come from?"

Zheng Meimei sneered: "They're self-proclaimed. Their family is best at using their bodies to seduce men in exchange for benefits. They've developed to their current status by sucking up to countless men."

Zheng Meimei sneered smugly, "Si Yuan, tell everyone, how many men have you and your mother slept with?"

"Snap—"

Zheng Meimei was slapped across the face. Covering her cheek, she glared at Si Yuan in disbelief and anger. "You... how dare you hit me?"

Si Yuan's face remained expressionless. "If you insult me ​​and my mother again, I will hit you."

"Fighting is not allowed on campus. Believe me or not, I'll tell the principal and he'll expel you."

"I'm afraid you won't go. Then we can confront the principal and explain the reason for the fight, and see just how foul-mouthed the students of Yunjie University, especially the young lady of the Zheng family, can be!"

"you……"

"Clap clap clap—"

Jiang Lai smiled and clapped her hands, "As expected of a daughter of the Si family, her methods are indeed remarkable."

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside.

"Make way, make way... The little princess is here..."

The crowd parted to make way for a girl with pink hair, dressed in an unconventional style, and chewing bubble gum as she walked into the classroom.

Ignoring everyone else, she walked over and sat down at the table next to Si Yuan.

When Zheng Meimei saw her, she instinctively hid behind Jiang Lai and whispered to Jiang Lai, "She is Gu Yinhe, the second young lady of the Gu family."

The Gu family ranks second among the four major families and has deep ties with the Bo family.

As the little princess of the Gu family, she was also a little princess who could walk sideways at Yunjie University and no one dared to offend her.

But thinking of Jiang Lai's identity, Zheng Meimei became smug again.

"Little princess, what brings you here?"

After blowing a giant bubble, Gu Yinhe winked mischievously, "Wherever there's excitement, there I am."

At the beginning of the semester, Gu Yinhe was sick and missed the lively scene of Zheng Meimei's march demanding that Si Yuan get out of the school.

We can't miss it today.

Gu Yinhe saw Zheng Meimei's swollen face. "What are you doing? Fighting?"

Zheng Meimei knew that Gu Yinhe was a very righteous person, so she immediately complained to her, "It was Si Yuan who attacked me unilaterally."

"Yo~~~"

Gu Yinhe gave an exaggerated expression and looked at Si Yuan in disbelief, "The daughter raised by the Si family can hit people? Come on, slap her again, let me see?"

Si Yuan: "..."

Zheng Meimei: "..."

If Zheng Meimei hadn't known that Gu Yinhe was a neutral party, she would have thought Gu Yinhe was doing it on purpose.

Gu Yinhe's gaze fell on Jiang Lai. "Who is this unfamiliar young lady?"

Zheng Meimei immediately introduced her solemnly, "She's a new student who just transferred here today, Jiang Lai—"

Gu Yinhe showed no mercy, "Jiang Lai? Who's that? I don't know her!"

"She is..."

Before Zheng Meimei could finish speaking, Jiang Lai interrupted her, "It doesn't matter if we didn't know each other before, it's good that we do now."

Gu Yinhe clearly had little interest in making new friends; she was more interested in watching the drama unfold.

"The unwritten rule at Yunjie University is that if anyone disagrees with someone, they settle it through a competition. Zheng Meimei, you're not going to challenge Si Yuan again, are you?"

"It wasn't me, it was Jiang Lai..."

Gu Yinhe's eyes lit up, and she became interested. "A new student dares to challenge the most authoritative and beautiful woman in our school as soon as he arrives. That's quite courageous."

Gu Yinhe walked over to Jiang Lai, raised an eyebrow at her, and said, "I wonder what grudge you have against Si Yuan? Tell us so we can all have some gossip~"

Jiang Lai looked at Si Yuan and said, "It's not really a challenge. I've just heard that she's very capable, and I want to know if it's real skill or just a facade."

"Clap clap clap—"

Gu Yinhe clapped, "Not bad, not bad. Jiang Lai, right? I admire you."

Then she looked at Si Yuan, "Si Yuan, do you dare accept Jiang Lai's challenge?"

Si Yuan knew that Gu Yinhe, Zheng Meimei, and the newcomer Jiang Lai were all formidable individuals.

School is a microcosm of society. If you can't even stand firm in this society, you can forget about the larger society outside of school.

Si Yuan said calmly, "I never cause trouble, nor am I afraid of it. What challenge does Miss Jiang Lai wish to take?"

With a gesture from Gu Yinhe, the band she brought started playing drums and gongs again.

"receive--"

After the sound stopped, she smiled and said, "The 88th round of the challenge for Si Yuan has officially begun. First, Ms. Jiang Lai, please state the event you wish to compete in."

Jiang Lai was somewhat surprised that Si Yuan agreed so quickly.

"Si Yuan doesn't even know the stakes in the competition, yet she dares to accept?"

Si Yuan looked at Jiang Lai calmly, "If I don't respond, will you let me go?"

That is of course impossible.

Jiang Lai originally came to help Zheng Meimei, but when she saw that it was Si Yuan, she naturally wanted to settle both old and new scores.

"Heh—you've got guts. I've heard that Si Yuan is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and is also quite skilled in language and dance. So let's have a design competition."

Gu Yinhe's eyes lit up. "Design what?"

Jiang Lai: "Design a men's brooch."

The students watching nearby started discussing it.

"Then how do we determine the winner?"

Zheng Meimei looked at Gu Yinhe, "Little princess, next month is the centennial celebration of Yunjie University. I heard that the school invited President Bo of Huanyu Group, and he has agreed to attend."

Gu Yinhe nodded, "I heard that Brother Yusen is coming to participate."

Zheng Meimei: "That's simple. You can give the brooches designed by Si Yuan and Lai Lai to President Bo. Whoever designs the brooch he wears when he attends the school anniversary celebration will be the winner."

Gu Yinhe raised an eyebrow: "Not bad, Zheng Meimei. When did you become so smart?"

Zheng Meimei was taken aback, then looked at Si Yuan defiantly, "So, Si Yuan, do you dare accept the challenge?"

Si Yuan frowned.

Why did Zheng Meimei use Bo Yusen to judge the winner in a design competition?

And how could someone as arrogant as her be so respectful to Jiang Lai?

Jiang Lai looked at Si Yuan, "You can admit defeat now, but starting tomorrow, I don't want to see you at school."

Si Yuan laughed, "Admit defeat? The word 'admit defeat' doesn't exist in my dictionary, and I certainly won't be defeated without a fight."

Gu Yinhe waved his hand, and the sound of gongs and drums rang out again.

Jiang Lai frowned. "Could you ask them to stop blowing that thing? It's so jarring!"

Gu Yinhe has always been independent and unconventional; her motto is, "I like it, that's all that matters!"

She then added, "I can tell from your voice that Jiang Lai wants Si Yuan to leave the school, right?"

Jiang Lai looked at Si Yuan. "If she admits defeat, I can let her leave school with dignity. But if she doesn't admit defeat now, then if she loses, she'll have to strip naked and get out of school. And by 'get out,' I mean 'get out'—it's a verb!"

Gu Yinhe: "Wow~~~ That's so exciting, so incredibly exciting~~~ What if you lose?"

Jiang Lai: "I won't lose."

Gu Yinhe smiled and said, "Confidence is a good thing, but the decision of whether you win or lose the competition rests with President Bo."

Jiang Lai scoffed, "If I lose, I'll let her do whatever she wants with me."

Gu Yinhe smiled and looked at Si Yuan, "Si Yuan, what do you say?"
