Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

The girl scoffed dismissively and raised her chin:

"Pretentious! Who do you think you are?"

She pointed at Wang Ruxue, her tone full of contempt:

"My family's group is the largest processing company for exotic beast materials in Tongwen Province! Why would we cooperate with your family? Even if we did, it would be your family begging us to cooperate!"

She got more and more excited as she talked:

"You dare call me stupid? You're the stupid one! Your whole family is stupid!"

She stood with her hands on her hips, looking proud.

"Let me tell you, you'd better kneel down and apologize to me right now, and maybe I can forgive you. Otherwise, I'll have my family make you pay!"

Wang Ruxue ignored her completely.

The girl was furious when she saw that Wang Ruxue completely ignored her.

Just as I was about to lose my temper—

My phone suddenly rang.

The girl was taken aback.

She took out her phone and was somewhat surprised to see the caller ID displayed on the screen.

Father?

Why are you calling at this time?

She muttered something to herself, but still answered the phone.

"Hey, Father—"

Before he could finish speaking, a voice suppressing anger came from the other end of the phone:

"Hu Ruxin! What have you done?!"

The voice was angry, irritable, and carried a hint of...fear?

The girl was startled by the sudden roar.

She had never heard her father speak to her in that tone before.

She pouted, looking aggrieved.

"Father, you yelled at me...you actually yelled at me! Waaaaah...I'm going to tell Grandpa and Mom!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, the voice rang out again, this time more suppressed and colder:

"Shut up!"

"Tell me! Who exactly did you offend?!"

The girl was stunned by the shout.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Who did I offend?

Who did she offend?

All she did was yell at a doorman and mock a few drivers.

She subconsciously looked at the hovercar that was still parked in the same spot.

Look at that license plate.

Six 8s.

She suddenly felt that the license plate seemed a little glaring.

She whispered:

"I...I didn't offend anyone..."

A heavy breathing sound came from the other end of the phone.

Then, the voice slowly rang out, each word as if squeezed out from between clenched teeth:

"We haven't offended anyone? Then why did the Wang family from the capital just call the company, saying they want to terminate all cooperation with us?!"

"Terminate the cooperation?"

The girl was stunned.

She suddenly remembered the phone call from that aloof woman, and her face turned deathly pale.

On the other end of the phone, the father continued, his voice filled with despair:

"Do you know that 70% of our Tianluo Group's business is related to the Wang family in the capital? Do you know what would happen to our company if we lost the cooperation of the Wang family in the capital?"

"Do you know how I felt when I got that call just now?!"

The Wang family is one of the four top families in the capital!

These four families control 90% of the production of exotic beast raw materials in the Great Xia Dynasty. Even the remaining 10% is related to these four families, making them the monopolists of exotic beast raw materials!

The raw materials for the exotic beasts used by their Tianluo Group are all imported from the Wang family; it can be said that they rely on the Wang family for their livelihood.

With just one phone call, the Wang family could bring Tianluo Group to its demise!

The girl's fingers, gripping the phone, began to tremble, and her face turned as white as a sheet.

The father's voice continued:

"Hu Ruxin... From childhood to adulthood, whatever you wanted, I gave you. You wanted to come to Tsinghua or Peking University, so I spent money and used connections to get you in. Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?

"Without me, without Tianluo Group, you are nothing!"

"And now, with just your words, you've pushed our whole family and the entire company to the brink of disaster!"

"How exactly...did you offend the Wang family?!"

The girl opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

But when she heard her father's questioning tone, coupled with the mocking looks from the onlookers, a huge sense of grievance and shame instantly welled up in her heart.

On what grounds?

Why does everyone think she's wrong?

What did she do wrong?

The girl suddenly looked up and yelled into the phone:

"All I did was flag down a car! Who knew she was some damn Wang family member!"

She became more and more agitated as she spoke, and her voice even changed tone:

"The rules at Tsinghua and Peking Universities state that outside vehicles are not allowed inside! This is the university's regulation! What's wrong with me stopping the car?! Aren't I upholding the university's rules?!"

She was breathing heavily, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

"And you! You yelled at me?! You actually yelled at me!!"

"Didn't you say you loved me the most?! Didn't you say you'd stand up for me if anyone bullied me?!"

"And now?! You yelled at me for the sake of a stranger, you bullied me with them!! Waaaaah..."

She finally burst into tears, her voice filled with grievance:

"You don't love me at all! I'm never talking to you again!!"

From childhood to adulthood, whenever she got angry or said, "I'm never talking to you again," her father would come running over to coax her.

Buy her the bag she likes, take her out for a nice meal, and do everything you can to make her calm down.

So she assumed it would be the same this time.

She thought that as long as she got angry, her father would give in and coax her.

But she was wrong.

There was a full three seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, an even angrier, colder roar exploded from the phone:

"You bitch!! You still don't know you're wrong!!!"

The sound was so loud it made the girl's eardrums ache.

She was stunned.

Her father never scolded her from childhood to adulthood.

Not to mention using a word like "bitch".

Her father's voice continued, each word piercing her heart like a knife:

"You go apologize to them right now, immediately!!"

"Begging for forgiveness!!"

"otherwise……"

The father paused for a moment, then said, word by word:

"Otherwise, don't blame me for kicking you out of the house!!"

The girl was stunned.

Tears were still on her face, but she was completely stunned.

Kicked out of the house?

Her father said he was going to kick her out of the house?

Just because of that woman?

Just because she stopped a car?

She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

He was overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of injustice.

When has she ever been treated like this since she was a child?

She grabbed her phone and roared into the other end:

"So what if they kick me out of the house?! Who cares?!"

"You want me to apologize to her? Don't even think about it!!"

"I, Hu Ruxin, am not that despicable!!!"

After shouting her last sentence, she pressed the hang-up button hard.

Then, she raised her phone and smashed it on the ground with all her might!

“Pah!”

The phone shattered into several pieces.

She stood there, panting heavily, tears streaming down her face.

But she gritted her teeth and stubbornly refused to give in.

There was silence all around.

Wang Xian watched this scene with her mouth slightly open.

He turned to look at Wang Yuhao and asked in a low voice:

"Is...is this girl out of her mind?"

Wang Yuhao was also stunned, scratching his head with an incredulous look: "Wait... she still hasn't figured out the situation?"

Wang Xian shook his head and clicked his tongue twice:

"She must have been spoiled at home."

"From childhood to adulthood, everyone has always indulged her and gone along with her wishes."

"She thinks she's a princess, that everyone has to give in to her and everyone has to coax her."

This kind of fairy probably thinks that rules are rules and cannot be broken.

She felt that she was upholding the rules, that it was just, and that she was right.

As everyone knows...

Regulations are established by those above for those below!

For those in power, regulations are merely tools to constrain others, and have little binding force on themselves.

They can trample on it whenever they want.
