Xu Wanwan was stunned for a moment. “This…”
“Wanwan, just keep it,” Fang Ya said with a smile. “It’s our good fortune that you are attending our school. You deserve this.”
Principal Fang said, “Okay, I hope that you will study hard in our school in the future and achieve what you want.”
Xu Wanwan did not decline anymore and accepted the thick wad of money with both hands, nodding as she thanked him. “Thank you.”
Principal Fang waved his hand. “In two days, the school has organized a welcome party for the new students. The school would like to invite you to give a speech on stage. Please prepare for it.”
“Alright, I’ll prepare well when I get back.”
After they left the principal’s office, Fang Ya returned to her department and Xu Wanwan then walked back to her classroom alone.
She did not bring her bag when she went out. The envelope in her hand was too thick and could not fit into her pocket, so she could only hold it in her hand.
As soon as she entered the classroom, countless pairs of eyes looked over, with the student’s eyes wandering over the envelope in her hand from time to time.
Xu Wanwan was a little embarrassed. She clenched her hands and quickly walked to her seat.
When Lin Jianan saw that she was back, she stood up from her seat, crying. “Wanwan, I’m sorry…”
“What’s wrong?”
“I didn’t guard your seat.” Lin Jianan’s little face was wrinkled from crying. She pointed to the seat next to her and sobbed. “This boy came in late. With no-nonsense at all, he took your seat outright.”
Xu Wanwan then looked at her seat and saw the boy wearing a black short-sleeved shirt leisurely lying on his seat and looking at his phone.
Lin Jianan became angry when she looked at Li Xuyi. “Wanwan, it was him who said I was meddling in other people’s business. Now that you’re here, hurry up and teach him a lesson.”
To Lin Jianan’s surprise, Xu Wanwan didn’t get angry as she asked patiently instead. “Classmate, do you have no seat?”
Li Xuyi did not even turn his head. The atmosphere was especially awkward.
Xu Wanwan did not give up. She bent down slightly, moved her face closer to the boy, and squeezed out a smile. “Classmate? Can you answer my question first?”
Li Xuyi looked at the face that suddenly moved closer, and his hands trembled in surprise.
He frowned unhappily. “Are you bored?”
Although this girl was not bad looking, she suddenly came closer and gave him a fright.
Xu Wanwan blinked and said seriously, “This is my seat.”
“Your name is written on it?” Li Xuyi turned to look at Xu Wanwan and narrowed his eyes. “Or is it that you, the famous top scorer of Science, need special treatment?”
Xu Wanwan was stunned. “That’s not what I meant…”
“Then what do you mean?”
Li Xuyi saw Xu Wanwan’s confused look and thought it was quite interesting to bully her.
He wanted to see how long she could endure it.
Xu Wanwan’s tone was calm. “I just want you to get up and move away.”
Li Xuyi casually played with the pen in his hand. “Why?”
Xu Wanwan took a light breath and turned to leave.
In order to get lucky, she had to endure it.
At worst, she could just give him this seat. It was not a big deal anyway.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Xuyi turned on his phone and browsed through the comments on the forum. He casually said, “The new top scorer in Science is really high-profile. The whole school knows her name on the first day of school.”
Xu Wanwan could hear the sarcasm in his words. She stopped in her tracks and clenched her fists.
Li Xuyi stared at her back. Seeing that she had stopped, he deliberately raised his voice. “Top scorer in Science, care to explain?”
Xu Wanwan inwardly sighed and felt helpless.
Why was he so unreasonable?
She clenched her fists and turned around. Ignoring Li Xuyi’s gaze, she brought an extra chair from the side and placed it beside him.
“What do you want?”
Xu Wanwan sat next to him and said with a smile, “Since you don’t have a place to sit, we can squeeze together.”
Li Xuyi’s face darkened, and he stood up. “You want to get close to me so badly. Aren’t you shameless?”
Xu Wanwan’s eyes curved. “You don’t want to sit here anymore?”
“Who wants to sit with you?” Li Xuyi said coldly. He turned around and walked toward the back.
Xu Wanwan moved his chair out of away and sat back down in her own seat. She maintained a smile the whole time and didn’t look pissed off at all.
Lin Jianan couldn’t help but ask, “Wanwan, how did you manage to not get angry?”
“I just had an argument with that boy. Not only did he not listen to reason, he even glared at me. It was so scary.”
Xu Wanwan comforted her, “Sorry for the trouble. If he bullies you again next time, just tell me.”
“Telling you is out of the question, he’ll bully you too.” Lin Jianan held her chin and sighed. “I thought there would be no school bullies when I go to the university. Who would have thought…”
Xu Wanwan could not help but shake her head when she thought of Li Xuyi’s good-for-nothing look.
They were both sons of Fate, but Li Jingran liked to be quiet. He had a steady and calm personality, and his heart was set on his career.
However, Li Xuyi seemed to have nothing to do with the Li family. He was arrogant and didn’t care about trifles. He even offended people easily.
However, Xu Wanwan didn’t hate him.
Because he was a member of the Li family, he also had good luck in him. As long as she could please him, she could get double protection.
As long as she thought like this, Xu Wanwan would not get angry at all.
The first day of school passed very quickly. In the afternoon, after taking the classes that she had to learn, school was soon over.
Lin Jianan said goodbye to her at the school gate. “Wanwan, my dad is here to pick me up. How are you going to go back?”
Xu Wanwan looked around and saw the elongated Lincoln parked across the road. She said calmly, “I have a ride home.”
“See you tomorrow!”
Xu Wanwan nodded and quickly walked across the road with her bag on her back.
She got into the car and made a polite request to the driver. “Uncle Liu, can you pick me up at a farther spot next time?”
“Miss Xu, why?” Uncle Liu picked Xu Wanwan up at the opposite side of the school because he was following Li Jingran’s orders.
Xu Wanwan said truthfully, “I don’t want to be too ostentatious. I’m afraid that my classmates will misunderstand…”
“Alright then, I’ll wait for you at the back of the street next time.” Uncle Liu saw that Xu Wanwan was quite low-key, so he quickly compromised.
“Okay, thank you, Uncle Liu.”
Xu Wanwan walked toward her room when she got back to the Li family home. When she passed by the tea room, she heard the Butler’s voice.
“Director Li, I’ve frozen the Second Young Master’s bank card as instructed.”
“The school has also responded and promised to put pressure on the Second Young Master. I’m sure the Second Young Master won’t cause trouble at school.”
Li Jingran took a sip of tea with his thin lips, his furrowed brows relaxing a little. “Yes, I remember that he had chosen the Computer Science Department as well.”
“Oh right, I forgot to tell you that the Second Young Master and Miss Xu have been assigned to the same class,” said the Butler. “Do you think you should tell the Second Young Master about this and ask him to take care of Miss Xu at school?”
