Feng Huan squeezed Zhao Fan's face tighter when she didn't answer him. Causing Zhao Fan to wince out in pain, but that didn't seem to bother him one bit. It didn't look like she was planning to come clean with him. So he wasn't going to let her go too.
"H-Huan… I really don't know what you're talking about!" Zhao Fan stammered. She closed her eyes, unable to bear to look at the unfamiliar Feng Huan. What happened to the cold Feng Huan, yet still treated her with courtesy?
He jerked on Zhao Fan's face and caused her eyes to be forced open again. Feng Huan's way of talking to Zhao Fan didn't lighten up, "I had been thinking for the past five years… How did Feifei manage to show up at the hotel we were at? Got our exact room number and the passcode to get in?"
Tears welled up at the corner of Zhao Fan's eyes, "I-I… I don't know… Please, Feng Huan! It really hurts!"
"Hmph!"
Feng Huan released Zhao Fan from his grip, but her eyes were still facing downward. He leaned in next to Zhao Fan's side, so only she could hear him.
He hissed, "Do not let me find out it was you that caused me to misunderstand Feifei all this time."
He stood up and walked away from the kneeling Zhao Fan. She didn't realize she was holding onto her breath the whole time. Once Feng Huan's stepping became light and far away. That was only when Zhao took a breather and sat on her side.
Zhao Fan wanted to cry, but she wasn't sure what she was crying for… Because she knew she forever lost Feng Huan or was it because the old Feng Huan she knew was gone?
She was always the person on the other side when Feng Huan was like this to others. Only this time, she was now given a small taste of what it's like to piss him off, and it wasn't just temporary.
"Zhao Fan?" A female student called out, she recognized Zhao Fan even with her back turned. She reached out her arm and touched Zhao Fan's right shoulder. "Why are you kneeling here?"
"Don't touch me!" Zhao Fan screamed, slapping away the outreached arm that tried to comfort her. She doesn't need anyone's pity, and especially someone from a low-class!
At An Jing University, there is no one ranked higher than her than Feng Huan. Talking about ranking, Xiong Jingfei will be higher than her once she marries Yang Zheyan.
"No… No! I can't let that happen!" Zhao Fan muttered to herself, not wanting to even imagine what it'll be like to be underneath Xiong Jingfei.
The female student rubbed her slapped hand and glared at Zhao Fan's back. Hmph, this Zhao Fan is still so arrogant! Something so small, and she had fallen down into this state. If she didn't need Zhao Fan, she would have rubbed in more salt to where it hurts Zhao Fan the most.
She couldn't hear what Feng Huan was saying to Zhao Fan. Having that she was hiding behind the corner from them. Feng Huan would have noticed her eavesdropping if she didn't hide. Even from a distance, she can tell whatever relationship left between Feng Huan and Zhao Fan. It was over!
The female student remained calm, although Zhao Fan was treating her like a piece of sh*t. For her to climb up the social class ladder, it was through this one lady who got dumped. Why else would she be here trying to comfort someone who wouldn't come down the pedestal?
"Zhao Fan, I apologize if I offended you…" The female student didn't give up, but this time she didn't dare to carelessly touch Zhao Fan again. "There is something I wanted to show you."
"Shut up!" Zhao Fan shouted, why the hell is this woman bothering her?
She wanted to be left alone! This female student was literally asking Zhao Fan to turn around and slap her. Which, Zhao Fan was "this" closed to venting out her anger on this lowly person.
"Zhao Fan…"
Zhao Fan turned around with her hand up in the air. But, it didn't come down like she initially planned. What saved the female student from being slapped was the phone that was put in front of Zhao Fan's face. Dropping her arm, she grabbed the phone because the phone was apparently not "close" enough to her face already.
"W-what is this?" Zhao Fan stuttered, using her fingers to zoom in on the picture.
The female student wanted to laugh at Zhao Fan's reaction. She thought Zhao Fan didn't want a low-classed person to touch her, but look at her right now. She is touching the low-classed person's phone and zooming it in and out.
Zhao Fan's smeared face of tears and frown began to turn upright. Yes! This is what she needed to be above Xiong Jingfei and make Feng Huan regret leaving her! She thought all the videos and pictures of that day were deleted by Lu Weisheng's order.
Zhao Fan couldn't find anything online that shows Xiong Jingfei was going to kill her. However, this wasn't a picture of Xiong Jingfei pushing her head over the ledge. It was a clear picture of her pressing her body up against Lu Weisheng's left arm.
The picture made it look like Zhao Fan, and Lu Weisheng were on a date. This picture…
If Zhao Fan sends it to the media, it won't take long for it to become the number one hot topic. Lu Weisheng already has a bad reputation for being a womanizer. Putting this picture up and tweaking the headline was easy to make others believe it.
Zhao Fan scoffed. Lu Weisheng, you only have yourself to be blamed for being famous for being a womanizer. By tomorrow morning, the main headline won't be about any celebrities but you and me. Should the headline be, did Lu Weisheng with a new woman? Lu Weisheng and Zhao Fan are together now?
The female student kneeled down beside Zhao Fan, watching how drastically her face changed from Feng Huan to Lu Weisheng. Right now, she was willing to lower herself down to Zhao Fan. It was only the start of what she needed and to achieve what she wanted! Soon… No one will dare mock her for being poor or look down on her!
"I wanted to know, are you Lu Weisheng's girlfriend?" The female student whispered as if scared someone was going to hear the secrets between them.
The phone in Zhao Fan's hand shook violently, and in a haughty voice, "Yes. I am Lu Weisheng's girlfriend."
Zhao Fan didn't answer the female student because she asked the question. She answered it because people like her will spread and gossip about it. Rumors spread through others can be deadly or beneficial. This time it was to Zhao Fan's advantage, and the media tomorrow will confirm it.
Zhao Fan was glad she didn't slap this annoying woman. She handed the phone back, "Send the picture to my phone. By the way, what is your name?"
This is what the female student has been waiting for. To have Zhao Fan's attention and for her to acknowledge her, "Xia Guang. My name is Xia Guang."

Xiong Jingfei sat across from Wu Yuan, waiting patiently for him to start the conversation between them. Compared to Feng Huan, she doesn't know why Wu Yuan was looking for her. There was actually nothing between them besides being co-workers.
Wu Yuan found a quiet restaurant and one that had a private room. He couldn't casually have a meal with the opposite s.e.x without a scandal.
Taking off his mask and his hat, he said, "First off, don't you know it's rude to not contact someone back?"
Xiong Jingfei nodded her head, but he only called her once and never contacted her afterward. Was it something super important that he had to come to look for her at school? Isn't he afraid of being spotted?
"It's all your fault that I had to come all this way to look for you!" Wu Yuan complained, crossing his legs and leaning back. He hasn't felt this relaxed in a long time, and he didn't really care for his "handsome" image in front of Xiong Jingfei. "I called you and messaged you, but none of it ever came through."
Xiong Jingfei opened her phone, checking her call logs and message, but there was nothing from him. She showed it to Wu Yuan, and he clicked his tongue.
Wu Yuan did a few clicks and checked Xiong Jingfei's blocked call list. Yep, just like he had thought. That damn Yang Zheyan put him on her blocked calls right after that call he made to Xiong Jingfei!
'I didn't block you!' Xiong Jingfei wrote down on her tablet. She will never do something like that to Wu Yuan! She would be considered crazy for doing such a thing!
"I know," Wu Yuan said, unblocking himself from her contact list. Then he suddenly looked up at her without any joking in his tone and eyes, "Xiong Jingfei, do you want to marry Yang Zheyan?"
