The fake heiress loves to act? The max-level boss isn't interested in playing along.

"Tell me...tell me about you..."

Zhang Wen blushed, unable to say, "Anyway, it sounds awful! It's better not to listen."

"It's alright, go ahead and tell me. I want to hear what disgusting things some people spew from their dog mouths."

Fu Hua smiled, but her eyes were icy cold.

"You really want to hear it?"

Zhang Wen looked troubled.

Fu Hua nodded.

"They say you seduced Lin Bei, which is why he transferred to our class. They also say someone saw you two kissing in the classroom!"

She got angrier and angrier as she spoke, "It's clearly the three of us in the classroom every day, do you think I wouldn't know whether you two are kissing or not?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Wen's face as she continued, "What's even more outrageous is that some people are saying that because you're physically developed, you might already be with Lin Bei..."

Fu Hua's eyes turned completely cold.

The two walked into the classroom, and the previously noisy Class 6 instantly fell silent.

Chen Zhe and Zhao Meng, along with a few other boys, hesitated to speak, while the girls avoided eye contact.

Lin Bei's seat was empty.

"Where is he? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Zhang Wen pointed to Lin Bei's location.

"He was called to Teacher Zhao's office."

A girl in the front row whispered.

Fu Hua put down her schoolbag and sat up straight.

The osmanthus-patterned hair tie on my wrist gleamed gently in the morning light.

The atmosphere in the teachers' office was somber.

Zhao Kuan, as the homeroom teacher of Class 6, heard this rumor.

My first reaction was that it was impossible.

Someone is spreading rumors.

Other teachers made rude remarks.

His face turned ashen with anger: "Nonsense! Utter nonsense!"

Standing opposite him was Lin Bei, the young man with his back straight and an expression more serious than ever before.

"Lin Bei, you tell me, what exactly happened? How could such a rumor spread?"

Zhao Kuan's face was solemn, and his shoulders were straight.

"Teacher Zhao, those are all rumors."

Lin Bei frowned, his hands clenched into fists at his sides: "I asked to transfer to Class 6 because Fu Hua's study methods inspired me."

"Aside from academic exchanges, there was no inappropriate behavior between us."

"What about the rumors about kissing in the classroom? Some people say they saw you kissing..."

Ms. Li, the original homeroom teacher of Class A, was also present, her tone tinged with doubt.

Lin Bei was originally her prized student.

The matter of transferring classes had been bothering her ever since.

"That's not true."

Lin Bei's voice was firm and resolute: "This is a slander against Hua's character. If you insist on pursuing this matter, I can confront the person who spread the rumors."

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Fu Hua walked in.

She first politely greeted the teachers in the office.

Then, calmly, she said, "Teacher Zhao, Teacher Li, I would like to clarify a few points regarding the rumors circulating about the school."

All the teachers' eyes were on her.

"First, Lin Bei transferred to Class 6 of Ding because the learning atmosphere in our class and my learning methods were helpful to him. All the students in Class 6 of Ding can testify to this."

Fu Hua's voice was clear and calm.

"Second, regarding the so-called 'eyewitness accounts' of these rumors, we urge the rumor-mongers to come forward and state the specific time, place, and witnesses. If they cannot, it is malicious defamation."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Teacher Li: "Third, the false statements made about me personally constitute an insult."

According to the "Regulations on Administrative Penalties for Public Security", publicly insulting others can result in detention or a fine.

If necessary, I will ask the parents to contact the police for intervention.

The office was completely silent.

Zhao Kuan looked at this usually quiet and reserved student in surprise.

I never expected her to be so organized and composed.

Teacher Li's expression changed.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

Zhao Kuan's gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on those in front of him. "Fu Hua, Lin Bei, you two go back to class. The school will definitely deal with the rumor-mongers seriously."

As Lin Bei walked out of the office, he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

"You're not the one who should be apologizing."

Fu Hua shook her head. "But do you know where the rumors started?"

Lin Bei's eyes darkened: "I don't know, it seems like everyone's been saying it overnight."

Fu Hua nodded and didn't say anything more.

During the third period in the morning, an emergency meeting was held for all teachers.

Principal Gao, a veteran educator, slammed the lesson plan down on the table: "Nonsense! Utter nonsense!"

The meeting room was completely silent.

"Fu Hua, with a score of 750, you have to retake the exam under the personal supervision of Professor Yan!"

Lin Bei, second in his grade, excels in both character and academics! Such a student is the pride of Minghua High School!

Principal Gao was so angry that his fingers were trembling. "And now? Someone actually spread such a despicable rumor!"

Is this an attempt to ruin these two children, or to destroy Minghua's reputation?

He looked around at the teachers present: "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Director Wang of the Moral Education Department, you are personally in charge of this matter! You must find the first person who spread this rumor!"

"Principal, what about the students...?"

Director Wang asked cautiously.

"Announcement to the entire school! I need to personally clarify this matter before school ends tomorrow afternoon!"

The principal slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Anyone who dares to spread such rumors again will receive a major demerit, and those with serious offenses will be expelled!"

Meanwhile, a storm is brewing in Lin Bei's home.

While cleaning her son's room, Lin's mother accidentally opened the bottom drawer of his desk.

Several items were neatly arranged inside.

A slightly worn strawberry-shaped hair tie, a clean calligraphy practice book,

A dried osmanthus flower,

There were also several sheets of draft paper with solutions to physics problems written on them—the handwriting was neat and legible.

It's clearly a girl's handwriting.

There seemed to be a faint, delicate fragrance emanating from the girl.

Lin's mother's hands trembled.

She grabbed these things and rushed into the living room.

His voice changed: "Old Lin, look what your son has done!"

Mr. Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly put down the newspaper he was holding.

He frowned at the things in his wife's hands: "What are these things?"

"What else could it be? They're all things girls use!"

Lin's mother's eyes reddened. "I told her he'd been acting strange lately. He comes home every day and just goes straight to his room, barely talks to us, and won't let me wash his underwear."

When asked how school was going, how his new class was, he always seemed impatient. Turns out he was in a relationship!

"Don't worry, I asked him last time, and he said he found a classmate's hair tie and returned it the next day..."

"Return? Return what! How long has it been? It's still here!"

Lin's mother trembled with anger, "And this calligraphy practice book, these flowers! Does this look like an ordinary student?"

Just then, the phone rang shrilly.

Lin's mother answered the phone, listened for a few sentences, and her face grew paler and paler:

"Teacher Li, I understand. Thank you for telling me all this. I know you meant well and were afraid this child would be ruined."

After hanging up the phone, Lin's mother was trembling all over: "Old Lin, your son... he's having a puppy love affair!"

Teacher Li said it was about a girl named Fu Hua, and the rumors were going around the school saying they kissed in the classroom, and that the girl's figure was developing...

She couldn't go on, tears streaming down her face: "My son, he's always been the best boy in the Lin family... how could he..."
