Chapter 32

Stealing Coat

His words became a contentious issue. Everyone began to judge Song Fan, saying she could not afford the coat she was wearing.

Song Yin’s friend turned around and asked, “Yin Yin, did you buy a coat like this?”

Song Yin hid behind her and said with tears, “I think I have something like this, but I don’t remember.”

Song Yin spoke carefully. After what happened at the banquet last time, she decided to be careful with her words and not take responsibility for anything. Now that someone was willing to be mean, she only needed to urge them.

Although Song Yin was not sure, the girl was certain that Song Fan was the one who stole the coat.

She led a group and surrounded Song Fan, “Now, take off your shirt. I’ll pretend that you didn’t steal.”

She could only wear a single layer of clothing in the current weather. If she took it off, she would only be wearing her underwear. This was obviously to humiliate Song Fan.

The girl thought she had an advantage in people, so Song Fan was afraid she would take off her shirt.

But Song Fan did not want to argue with them at all. Fools would not listen to the truth.

She walked ahead, her aura stronger than the combined group. The girls were stunned and subconsciously made way for her. Song Fan left the encirclement and prepared to leave the teaching building.

The girl felt that Song Fan was looking down on her. She rushed up and said, “I told you to remove your shirt. Did you not hear me?”

Song Fan did not want to be attacked from behind, so she turned around and looked at her.

The girl raised her hand and was about to slap Song Fan, but Song Fan grabbed her wrist and threw her out. Although Song Fan did not exert much force, the girl was still in agony after being propelled meters away.

This aroused the dissatisfaction of the others. The boys came out of the classroom and said, “Who do you think you are, bullying a girl? You stole something, and you won’t even own up to it. You are despicable.”

“Your IQ is low.” Song Fan looked at him coldly and asked, “Do you have any evidence to prove that I stole the coat?”

This question stumped the boys. They did not have any evidence to prove that Song Fan stole the coat. Song Yin only said that she seemed to have the same coat.

However, this could not be considered a basis at all. It was common for girls in their third year of high school to wear the same clothes if everyone spent money at the same place.

The girl stood up, tears streaming down her face. “You’re just a wild girl from the countryside. How could you possibly afford such expensive clothes? Your life isn’t even worth the fabric they’re made of.”

Everyone felt that this was very true. They all chose the most expensive clothes to buy. All of them added up to the annual income of an ordinary person. They suspected that Song Fan did not have that much money.

However, someone else said, “She’s the daughter of the Song family. She should have some pocket money, right?”

Then, everyone looked at Song Yin, waiting for her to speak.

Although Song Yin did not want to stand out, she had no choice but to speak up now. She wanted to let Song Fan know that this was not a place she could come to.

“I don’t know if she has any pocket money, but my parents and brothers have never given her money. It should be her savings.” Song Yin said timidly.

The girl seemed to have heard a royal order and said proudly, “How much savings can she have? She can’t afford all this, even if she farms in the countryside for her entire life. She must have stolen Yin Yin’s coat!”

Her words were so resolute that the people who heard them thought she was some kind of detective. The others agreed with her words.

“That makes sense. Song Fan’s clothes aren’t something she can afford.”

“Chairman Song hasn’t brought her back for so many years. It’s obvious that he doesn’t like this daughter very much.”

“The illegitimate daughter who was hidden in the countryside had no money at all. She probably stole the coat because she wanted to compete with Song Yin.”

They spoke very loudly. Song Fan heard it. She did not expect these people to be so idle and spend all their time gossiping. She had no intention of refuting it. The truth would naturally come out during class.

Song Fan remarked to Song Yin, “Your lying skills have improved since you were young.”

With that, she left the group and prepared to depart.

The girls became more convinced of their suspicions and yelled, “Strip before you go!”

Just then, Song Fan received the class schedule. She checked the sign at the classroom entrance and strode towards the podium. “Class is about to start. I am your teacher, Song Fan. But I believe you all already know me.”
