Yu Zhao smiled but did not say anything.

Seeing this, Gu Li immediately jumped and grabbed Yu Zhao’s shoulder excitedly. “Zhaozhao, did you already know that your points will be deducted? That’s why you don’t seem to care. Why?”

Yu Zhao raised her eyebrows and said noncommittally, “Because there’s something called cash in this world that can break the natural growth pattern of common people.”

Gu Li was stunned. She had never thought that Yu Zhao would admit to this so frankly.

Since the beginning of school, she had been alone. She didn’t even have her parents to send her to school, nor did she have a word of concern from her parents.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Gu Li and Yu En were in the same Math Olympiad Class before, she might have thought that Yu En was a kind and gentle girl.

Yu Zhao didn’t refute any of this, except for the slap on the field that morning.

Perhaps Yu Zhao could have told everyone about Yu En’s fake actions, but she chose to remain silent.

How could such a straightforward girl be bothered to bully others?

Unless someone provoked her.

And everything she did, without exception, was to show everyone that she was indeed a victim.

Her unwillingness to explain and clarify did not mean that she was the kind of person who would be hurt by rumors.

“Zhaozhao, do you have any difficulties?” Gu Li held her arm, her eyes slightly warm. “If you need my help, I… I can help you.”

Yu Zhao looked at Gu Li gratefully. “Thank you, but there’s no need for that.”

“Why are you doing this?” Gu Li was anxious. “Aren’t we friends? It’s only right for friends to help each other out.”

“I really don’t need it.” Yu Zhao shook her head.

She was used to fighting alone. If Gu Li interfered, she would have to take care of her instead.

At this moment, the sound of a phone ringing interrupted their conversation.

Yu Zhao glanced at the caller ID, raised her eyebrows, and hung up the phone. “I’m going out for a while.”

“You just came back but you’re leaving again?”

Yu Zhao didn’t turn her head, but raised her hand and waved it behind her.

Seeing this, Gu Li could not help but burst out laughing. “Alright. Go and do your work.”

Yu Zhao walked out of the dormitory and stood downstairs, waiting for Lu Kun to pick her up.

The afternoon wind blew gently, blowing away the fine bangs on the girl’s forehead, revealing her tired eyes.

She raised her head and let the cool wind brush across her face as if it could relieve some of her fatigue.

At this moment, an eye-catching Koenigsegg suddenly stopped beside her, and a familiar male voice sounded, “Get in.”

Yu Zhao turned and looked at Lu Kun, who was sitting in the driver’s seat. She pursed her lips indifferently and said, ” I think I’ll be labeled as a sugar baby on the school forum tomorrow.”

Lu Kun glanced at her and handed her the tablet. “I’ve found it. His name is Xing Lin, and he’s also a new student at Capital University. However, he’s not the one who was injured.”

“Just this little bit of information?” Yu Zhao was obviously not satisfied with Lu Kun’s investigation results.

Lu Kun raised his eyebrows and said, “Not only that, but I’ll also bring you to see him now, as well as the injured man behind him.”

Hearing this, Yu Zhao’s face finally showed a hint of a smile.

“By the way, the teacher also said that the ninth brother was quite angry when he heard that you came here without him,” Lu Kun suddenly blurted out.

At the mention of the ninth brother, Yu Zhao’s eyes flickered with hidden emotion. “Ninth brother, is he ready to come back?”

“If nothing unexpected happens.”

Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at a teahouse.

When Yu Zhao entered the room and saw the man sitting by the window, she was stunned for a moment.

Was he Xing Lin?

The man was dressed in a casual outfit, a black t-shirt, and white pants. It looked very comfortable.

He leaned back in his chair. His long legs crossed, his left hand casually placed on the table, and his right hand holding a celadon teacup while gently swaying. His movements were elegant and noble.

“Hi.”

At that moment, Xing Lin, who was standing beside Gu Li, glanced at Yu Zhao and reached out his hand. “I’m Xing Lin, the middleman this time.”

Yu Zhao’s gaze paused in the air for a moment before finally landing on a dark-skinned man. Her expression did not change. “Hello, I’m Master Rizhao’s assistant.”

“Assistant?” Suddenly, the man who had been silent said, “Yu Zhao, a freshman in the School of Biology of Capital University. You’re Yu Yuan’s only biological daughter. You were sent abroad for further studies when you were ten. When you were fifteen, you returned to the country to get the will and disappeared from the capital again.

“So, Student Yu Zhao, who exactly are you?”
