Tang Yueying was woken up by her phone ringing. She had been partying with her friends at a club until 3 a.m. the night before she got home, and she was feeling extremely upset.

A hangover combined with morning grumpiness ignited a nameless anger within her. Without even checking who was on the other end of the phone, she answered and began cursing in frustration.

"It's so noisy! What's with all the fuss so early in the morning? The phone is ringing like it's killing me!"

The person on the other end paused, looking surprised and uncertain.

"Tang Yueying, you're alright last night?"

"What could possibly happen to me?"

"Then why did you send Sang Huan to the suburbs to look for you! That young girl searched for you all night in the dark and couldn't reach you, so she called the police. Now the authorities have sent people to the school to investigate. You need to come to the school right now!"

What?!

Tang Yueying's hazy confusion was instantly jolted awake by these words, and she then saw that the contact name on her phone was "Mentor".

Her breath hitched, and without thinking of anything else, she quickly got out of bed and rushed towards the school.

-

"You mean when Miss Tang messaged you last night, she said she was in the suburbs and her phone was dead, right?"

"Yes, I have the call logs. Sister, I was in a rush to deliver the order and was a step too slow. I hope my senior is alright! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have delivered that order..."

Inside the office, the girl's slender shoulders trembled, her eyes were red-rimmed, and glistening tears welled up in them. Her delicate, jade-like fingers gripped her clothes tightly, making her look extremely pitiful.

Her counselor and the other tutors looked at each other, remembering the message they had just received. They wanted to explain but didn't know how to start.

Just then, a woman wearing a luxury brand sweatshirt and suit stormed in, ignoring everyone around her, and began to angrily berate the girl.

"Sang Huan, what are you doing! Who told you to call the police!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the girl quickly looked over. When she saw that the person in front of her was Tang Yueying, the worry in her delicate brows finally faded away.

"Senior, are you alright?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me? What are you doing? Who told you to call the police?"

Tang Yueying was furious. Her original intention was to trick Sang Huan into spending the night in the suburbs so that she wouldn't be energetic enough to attend the interview, thus allowing Su Yubai to successfully get the job.

Who would have thought that this woman would be so stupid as to call the police and make a scene that the whole school would know about!

Thinking about what his little follower had said, and the strange looks he received from the people around him when he arrived...

Tang Yueying was furious and wanted to slap Sang Huan and ask this idiot what she was thinking!

But once inside, she realized there were so many people in the room. No matter how unhappy she was, Tang Yueying could only suppress her anger and stare intently at Sang Huan with her slightly swollen eyes.

Sang Huan was so frightened by her fierce appearance that she felt helpless, and tears immediately fell down her cheeks.

"Senior, I couldn't reach you after I arrived at the location yesterday. I searched the entire area but couldn't find you. I was worried something might have happened to you, which is why I contacted the authorities..."

"Couldn't you have waited a little longer?! Couldn't I have just gone to charge my phone because it was dead?!"

Tang Yueying felt even more annoyed when she saw Sang Huan's aggrieved and helpless appearance. She was the one who was being talked about, so why was Sang Huan crying like this?

"That's enough!"

Finally, an official stepped forward, unable to bear it any longer. She gave Tang Yueying a cold look and spoke in a serious tone.

"Since Miss Tang is here, why don't you go over there and give a statement first?"

Tang Yueying's tone was somewhat annoyed, but she didn't dare to say anything when she met the woman's gaze.

That evening, she went to the next room with another person. Only then did the woman look at Sang Huan with a gentle gaze and helplessly recount the news she had just heard to Sang Huan.

Seeing the girl's face gradually turn pale after hearing her words, she sighed and patted her shoulder in comfort.

"So, your senior sister was fine yesterday, Miss Sang, you don't need to worry about this kind of person anymore."

Sang Huan gripped the hem of her dress so tightly that her knuckles turned white. All the color drained from her face. She stared blankly at the officials in front of her, her voice muffled.

"But, senior, she clearly knew I had a very important interview today... I prepared for this interview for half a month... Why would she lie to me...?"

The moment those words left her lips, her eyes suddenly reddened, and glistening tears rolled down her cheeks.

As if afraid of being ridiculed by others, Sang Huan quickly lowered her head and frantically wiped her snow-white cheeks with the back of her hand, trying to hide her aggrieved appearance.

But the more she acted this way, the more people around her felt sorry for her.

The teachers, especially those who knew about his family's circumstances, frowned deeply.

Sang Huan is a good student and obedient. Everyone can see how hard she works to ease the burden on her family.

The reason he was able to receive offers from major companies was because a teacher couldn't stand by and watch him go. Now that things are like this, how can everyone feel good about it?

The officials standing nearby also felt a little uncomfortable, but they couldn't interfere in this matter. They handed the little girl two tissues to wipe her tears.

Seeing that her colleague who was in charge of taking the notes had returned, she didn't linger any longer. After saying goodbye to the other instructors, she turned and left.

When Tang Yueying returned after giving her statement, she immediately saw Sang Huan crying her heart out, with several teachers around her offering tissues and offering quiet words of comfort.

Some teachers even looked at her with condemnation when she came in.

"Tang Yueying, come back and apologize to Sang! Look what you've done!"

Tang Yueying's already suppressed anger flared up even more. "Why should I apologize to her?!"

"You made someone miss their interview today and you're not even apologizing?!"

One sentence silenced Tang Yueying instantly, but she still refused to back down.

She didn't force Sang Huan at knifepoint, so why should she blame herself?! It's not like she didn't give her money!

Two thousand yuan is enough for Sang Huan after working hard for half a month. What right does she have to cry and play the victim here?!

"Ha, she's the one who's greedy and wants to go there, what does it have to do with me?"

"I told my senior to find someone else, but she said she was too scared and worried something might happen, so she insisted that I take a taxi there!"

"So you agreed? Fine, so what if I played you? I still gave you money, consider it compensation for emotional distress, and we're even!"

"This isn't about money at all!"

Sang Huan was trembling with anger, her eyes blazing as she looked at Tang Yueying.

"Tch, so what if you missed an interview? What more do you want? That two thousand isn't enough..."

Before Tang Yueying could finish her sentence, Sang Huan could no longer contain her anger. She strode forward and slapped Tang Yueying hard across the face!
