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

This was the first time Si Yuan had heard Bo Yusen say so much.

She looked at him—

I don't understand what he's doing now that he chose Jiang Lai's brooch.

Did you feel a surge of sympathy when you saw her being attacked?

I still have a little bit of regret about not choosing her brooch.

The principal was already drenched in sweat, and the handkerchief he used to wipe his sweat was soaked with sweat.

"Hehe... Mr. Bo, look at this... everyone is just trying to make you happy..."

Bo Yusen scrutinized the principal. "Oh? So, it's my fault after all?"

"No, no, no, that's absolutely not what I meant. I meant..."

"President Bo..."

Si Yuan's voice was weak as she slowly stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked to Bo Yusen.

Her lips were pale, and her face was completely bloodless.

"We are very sorry to have shown you this unpleasant scene. Our school has prepared many activities to welcome you, and we hope that this small matter will not affect your mood."

As expected of the daughter raised by the Si family, even after suffering such injustice, she still managed to consider the school's well-being.

Gu Yinhe also tried to smooth things over, "Yes, yes, then this match is a draw, peace and love."

The principal immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes... Mr. Bo, it's just a competition between children, haha..."

Bo Yusen's dark gaze fell on Si Yuan's face.

The bright red wound looked particularly gruesome against her fair skin.

The voice suddenly turned cold, "Principal Lin, are all the competitions between your school's children this bloody?"

Jiang Zhe chimed in, "Absolutely! Anyone who didn't know better would think Miss Si had done something utterly heinous, causing everyone to gang up on her!"

bloody--

Encirclement and Suppression—

The two words are heavier than the other, and the speakers are more influential than the other.

The principal had lived most of his life, and this was the most panicked moment of his life.

He glanced at Si Yuan's face; although she was injured, it wasn't to the point of being "bloody."

But Si Yuan's face is the face of the Si family and the school. If something happens at the school, it will be difficult to handle if Si Qingwan investigates.

Moreover, there's a formidable figure by his side whom he shouldn't mess with.

The rumors say that Master Bo is cold and ruthless and never interferes in other people's affairs.

Why would I concern myself with such a trivial matter today?

Things have escalated to this point, and Bo Yusen needs to be given an explanation.

The principal glared angrily at the crowd and said, "School competitions are supposed to be healthy, so when did they turn into bullying? Si Yuan, did you see who scratched your face?"

Si Yuan's slightly cool gaze fell on Zheng Meimei.

Zheng Meimei had thought that today she could expel Si Yuan from the school in the most humiliating way.

I never expected that the principal and Master Bo would come here.

It's one thing for the principal to protect Si Yuan, since she's the face of the school. But what's going on with Master Bo?

Isn't he Lai Lai's uncle? Why is he helping Si Yuan?

What should she do if Si Yuan exposes her?

Oh, and Lai Lai too...

Feeling guilty, Zheng Meimei hid behind Jiang Lai.

The next second, Si Yuan said, "No..."

"Distinguished leaders, President Bo, compared to this trivial matter, today is our school's centennial celebration, which deserves everyone's attention more."

The principal secretly glanced at Bo Yusen.

Bo Yusen stared at Si Yuan, a slight smile playing on his lips, but his eyes were unusually cold.

Gu Yinhe smiled and said, "Since Si Yuan doesn't mind, then we should..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zheng Meimei suddenly stood up and said, "Principal, I want to report Si Yuan for promiscuity, which damages the reputation of our school."

A wave of waves has risen again.

A post suddenly appeared on the Yunjie University campus website, accusing Si Yuan of promiscuity.

As soon as this post appeared, it instantly surpassed the post about the centennial celebration in popularity, taking the top spot on the trending list.

"It really is Si Yuan. The man beneath her doesn't seem to be Young Master Xiang."

"That figure and that face, isn't that her? I never expected her to have such an innocent, angelic face, yet be so promiscuous in private."

"I heard that the Si family has a teacher who teaches the women how to serve and seduce men. Putting everything else aside, they must be good in bed."

"Aren't the daughters of the Si family supposed to remain virgins before marriage? How will she explain to the Xiang family if she loses her virginity?"

"What a pity for Young Master Xiang, he loved her so much, yet he still got cheated on."

Whispering chatter drifted over, and Si Yuan was once again subjected to teasing, ridicule, disdain, and schadenfreude from the crowd.

Zheng Meimei reverted to her usual arrogance; she never expected that a single competition wouldn't be enough to get Si Yuan kicked out of school.

Fortunately, some kind-hearted person exposed Si Yuan's shameful deeds.

Si Yuan is the face of the school. Now that her scandal has blown up so big, let's see how the school can still cover for her.

Si Yuan frowned. Gu Yinhe approached her with his phone, looking on with amusement. "Hey, is this really you?"

Si Yuan glanced at Gu Yinhe's phone.

[Is the seemingly innocent young woman's private life a sign of moral decay or a distortion of human nature?]

The photos are extremely graphic and shocking.

Some were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied.

Some were shirtless, riding on top of men.

There's also Si Yuan dressed in all sorts of sexy outfits.

With such a juicy piece of gossip, how could Jiang Zhe not take advantage of it?

While others were discussing it, he held up the photo to Bo Yusen and said, "Take a look..."

Bo Yusen merely glanced at it casually, his gaze then settling on Si Yuan with a deep, brooding look. "It's not her."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Jiang Zhe immediately chased after her, "How do you know it wasn't her? What made you think that?"

Seeing Bo Yusen leave, the principal followed him, leaving the mess to the head of the teaching department.

Seeing that Bo Yusen remained silent, Jiang Zhe grew anxious, "You're just leaving like that? Aren't you going to help Si Yuan?"

"She doesn't need it."

As soon as Bo Yusen left, the crowd, which had been whispering, gradually erupted into a commotion.

"Aren't Li Jiale and Xiang Shao good friends? Of all people to choose, Si Yuan had to pick such a beast."

"I guess she herself is a masochist."

The surrounding noise grew increasingly shrill, and Si Yuan coldly said, "The person in the photo is not me."

Zheng Meimei scoffed, "Just because you say it wasn't you, doesn't mean it wasn't you!"

Si Yuan looked coldly at Zheng Meimei, "So if you say it's me, then it's me?"

Zheng Meimei: "How do you explain these photos?"

Si Yuan: "Someone photoshopped my face onto my image, ruining my reputation. Shouldn't the person who posted the ad be the one explaining this?"

"Ah Yuan—"

Si Qingwan and Xiang Mingche were discussing their wedding when they overheard a passing student saying that Si Yuan's unflattering photos had been exposed.

Xiang Mingche stopped two classmates and asked them a question. After seeing the photos on their classmates' phones, the two of them rushed over with grim expressions.

Si Yuan didn't know if this matter had anything to do with Xiang Mingche. She didn't need to explain to Xiang Mingche, but she had to explain to Si Qingwan.

Seeing her boss Qingwan's gloomy and terrifying face, Si Yuan walked up to her and said, "Mother, the person in the photo is not me."

"It's you—"

The other protagonist in the photo slowly appears, walks to Si Yuan's side, and puts his arm around her shoulder.

It's Li Jiale.
