Shen Ming and Jiang Nian’s relationship is not open to the public, but it was not intentionally concealed. It is just that Shen Ming is like a celebrity and Jiang Nian wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble. He didn’t care much in this regard; however, he didn’t expect this to become an anecdote.

Shen Ming of course wasn’t happy that outsiders have misunderstood his girlfriend, and even damaged her reputation. She must have also suffered from the pointed looks of outsiders.  

Jiang Nian had almost forgotten about this matter. Because she solved the problem too well, she did not achieve the effect she wanted. Just thinking about it gave her a headache so she simply removed it from her mind.

However, she didn’t like people making irresponsible remarks.

That day, after eating in the cafeteria, Jiang Nian and Lin Xiaoyue were going back to the dormitory. In the corridor, they heard someone talking about how Jiang Nian was being taken care of. Although the post was deleted and the counsellor officially said that the post was false as it was her boyfriend who sent her back, some people still did not believe it. Or maybe, they didn’t care about what was the truth. Instead, for them, it became her trying to cover up the scandal.

“I heard that Jiang Nian’s parents are both teachers. The family is so ordinary, where would she get to know a rich third generation?”

“Yeah, you should see how Jiang Nian usually wears cheap clothes that cost only a few hundred Yuan. And her friend, Lin Xiaoyue, looks so gaudy as well. I heard that her family runs a small supermarket. Her father even sent her to school in a car that costs twenty million. Do they think that they are rich? Do they even know what real rich is?”

Then they gave this elaborate explanation as to why the teachers are trying to supress the matter. It must be because it would damage the school’s reputation so they had to let Jiang Nian get away with it.

“Her luck must be very good!”

“…”

They said a lot and the analysis was very well-founded. Even Jiang Yan almost started believing it, let alone others.  

Lin Xiaoyue was so appalled that she pointed at her nose and then looked up and down at her own dress: “I look… so gaudy?”

Jiang Nian said: “Is wearing a dress that cost a few hundred pieces very shameful?”

“They won’t learn a lesson unless I beat it into them!!” Lin Xiaoyue rolled up her sleeves.

But Jiang Nian stopped her by saying, “No, we are only two people while they are four. We would be outnumbered.”

In fact, they cannot be completely blamed for being suspicious.

That is because the cars that Shen Ming drives are specially customized. Each cost at least eight figures! The car that was photographed hasn’t been manufactured for a long time. It is said that it isn’t sold in the market anymore and cannot even be bought with just money.

The car shows that the status of the other party is very high.

“Jiang Nian looks so pure and harmless. Before this, she even rejected Xue Hao’s confession. I said that Xue Hao is such a handsome guy. How could she reject him? It is not that she disliked him. It is because Xue Hao doesn’t have any money!”

The rest of the people also nodded saying that before they also couldn’t see it.

At the time, their class organized a dinner party.  Xue Hao confessed to her with a bunch of roses, but Jiang Nian was already with Shen Ming. She naturally rejected him, and they never mentioned it afterwards. Naturally, it was over. I didn’t expect it to become a reason to attack her.

Lin Xiaoyue has a short temper. She couldn’t listen anymore so she shouted: “Are all of you eating garbage for breakfast? How else can such disgusting things come out of your mouths?”

Lin Xiaoyue’s voice was very loud, could almost be heard in the entire corridor!

She pulled Jiang Nian’s hand and said, “Let’s fight back today. This cannot be tolerated anymore!”

Jiang Nian was a little hesitant. Is this what a good female lead should do?

The people who were previously talking couldn’t help but get embarrassed.

Li Mei said: “Who knows what you do at night. Can’t people talk about it if they want to?”

Jiang Nian chuckled: “I have already explained this to the teacher. The teacher also said that the photos were misleading. Now you are attacking me with your malicious speculation, don’t I have the right to at least defend myself?”

“Everything we said has been backed up with evidence. Do you think that we will just believe in your few empty words?”

Lin Xiaoyue said with indignation: “You really are a two-faced b***h. You only saw few fuzzy photos and orchestrated that into a big drama. Do you have any concrete evidence to prove that what you are saying is true?!”

Li Mei has some guilty conscience and said: “What other evidence is needed? Aren’t the photos the best evidence?”

Lin Xiaoyue: “How is that any kind of evidence? Are girls not allowed to have a rich boyfriend? What kind of logic is this? Is there something wrong with your brain?”

Li Mei: “Is this boyfriend even real? Do you have the ability to bring him here to show us?”

Jiang Nian immediately said: “No!”

She then added: “I am afraid that you will burn with jealousy even more if you see him.”

Li Mei, Lin Xiaoyue & everyone: “………”

Jiang Nian: “Plus, such an immoral and insignificant person like you has no right to see him.” 

Li Mei does not like Jiang Nian. She hasn’t liked Jiang Nian from the first year of school.

When she was in high school, she was the most beautiful and popular person in school. After coming here, she became ordinary. Jiang Nian is more popular than her, and her grades are better than her. Even the person she secretly loves, had confessed to her, but she still did not even appreciate it!

Li Mei has a lot of resentment against Jiang Nian, so when Jiang Nian was being defamed, she was very happy. It turned out that Jiang Nian was just a vain woman. Xue Hao would definitely regret liking her when he gets to know about it.

Li Mei is 100% confident that Jiang Nian is really being taken care of. The so-called rich third generation boyfriend is just her cover up.

But now Jiang Nian actually dared to lie in front of her? Li Mei grit her teeth and said: “You are just saying that to escape. You don’t dare to call your boyfriend because he is fake!”

Jiang Nian looked at her with a satirical smile and faintly said: “You think that if you damage my reputation enough, Xue Hao will like you?”

Li Mei’s proud expression suddenly collapsed. She looked at Jiang Nian like she was about to kill her.

Jiang Nian: “What do you say? Do I still need to prove anything?”

Lin Xiaoyue gave a low laugh: “That is, some people are too self-centred! Do you think that Xue Hao is blind enough to actually like you?”

Lee Mei was overflowing with anger: “Do not go overboard.”

Lee Mei could hear people around them already talking about what they had just heard.

Lin Xiaoyue stepped forward: “Who is going overboard? Aren’t you the one who started it?!”

Li Mei got too irritated and pushed Lin Xiaoyue’s shoulders: “If Jiang Nian is actually innocent, then why is she hiding her boyfriend?”

Lin Xiaoyue pushed her back:”!! You shouldn’t use such tricks to speculate about other people. ”

Lee Mei was too angry at this point and pushed Lin Xiaoyue too hard.

“You hit me?”

“What about me hitting you?”

The two sides were so emotional that they started seriously pushing each other. After a while, the 3 other girls joined in against Lin Xiaoyue. Jiang Nian couldn’t simply let Lin Xiaoyue fight alone. She was decided to seriously fight so the two vs. four fight suddenly became a tie.

The disturbance caused by the fight was too big. Many others came over to watch the showdown. Some teachers heard the commotion and ran over. They immediately put an end to the fight and took all of them to the counsellor.

The six people involved in the fight were all in the office.

Jiang Nian’s state is still good. Her hair is only a little messy and her clothes are a bit wrinkled.  Only that the corner of the mouth and the forehead were bruised.

Both Lin Xiaoyue and Li Mei looked more dishevelled. Their hair was messy, their clothes were crumpled, and there were scratches on both their faces. Lin Xiaoyue, however, only had three red scratches while Li Mei was scratched all over.

The counsellor was so angry that he started shouting: “Do you take this place as a place suitable for fighting? Haven’t you learned anything?!”

Jiang Nian hung her head lowly and said with an aggrieved attitude: “Teacher, sorry, I was wrong.”

Counsellor: “What did you do wrong?”

Jiang Nian said seriously: “I was wrong. I should have just shown my beautiful and rich third generation boyfriend to Li Mei. If I had, they would not spread the rumour that I am being taken care of and I would not have been in a fight. If I hadn’t been in a fight, then I wouldn’t have needed to fight back and so, I wouldn’t have been standing here… in trouble…”

Lin Xiaoyue: “Pff! – Cough and cough!”

Li Mei and others: “…”

Counsellor: “…Li Mei, is everything that Jiang Yan just said true?”

Li Mei took a long while to answer: “Yes, Teacher. However, I don’t understand why Jiang Nian isn’t being punished so I believe that I’m right.”

The counsellor frowned, “I remember that I’ve already said it in my class. The incident with the photos was just a misunderstanding so why do you keep saying these things about Jiang Nian everywhere? You are classmates, even if you don’t love each other, you shouldn’t maliciously speculate about another.”  

“Is there any evidence to prove that it was her boyfriend in the car? I won’t just believe her because she says so.”

Li Mei firmly believes that Jiang Nian has committed misconduct. Although she was a bit hesitant before, but now she is completely convinced since Jiang Nian is trying to conceal her boyfriend so much. If it is a normal relationship, then why the need to hide it?

Jiang Nian could finally understand what true stubbornness is like.

The counsellor rubbed his forehead while Lin Xiaoyue rolled her eyes.

Meanwhile, the school is full of excitement. The story of the fight between Jiang Nian, Lin Xiaoyue, Li Mei and others in the dormitory has been spread out. Almost everybody had heard of it by now. Some of them even made bets on what the punishments should be right outside the councillor’s office.

The counsellor was so angry that he started shouting at them. Fortunately, that is when someone knocked on the door.

The counsellor could only temporarily stop and say: “Come in.”

As soon as the door opened, they saw a young man in a black suit standing outside.

The councillor asked with wonder: “You are…?”

He replied: “I am Jiang Nian’s boyfriend…”

The man hadn’t finished, the counsellor was immediately surprised. Li Mei and others also turned their heads to look at the door – the man looked around 29. He had a polite smile on his handsome face. Li Mei saw the watch on his wrist. She had only seen this brand in the magazine.  The cheapest one would cost tens of thousands.

…so young, not an old man?

“I am the assistant of Jiang Nian’s boyfriend, my name is Xu Chao.”

Li Mei thought, sure enough, the Gold Lord [1] is afraid to show up.

Lin Xiaoyue apprehensively pulled the clothes of Jiang Nian: “Do you know when Shen Ming is going to show up?”

Jiang Nian also shook her head, how would she know when she is going to enjoy the treatment of a female lead?

The counsellor looked at Jiang Nian, and Jiang Nian bowed her head.

Xu Chao looked at Jiang Nian, who was standing there with a pitiful look. He saw that she had no injuries except for some bruises, and he quietly sighed. He remembered how the boss’s face turned ugly when he heard that Jiang Nian had a fight at school. It would have been terrible if she were to be actually injured.  

After observing that she wasn’t too hurt, he regained his sight. That is when the door opened from the outside.

Xu Chao looked back and was surprised and confused when he saw him.

In A university, there is no one who doesn’t know Shen Ming. He is a very famous alma mater who returned several times to attend anniversaries. When he was in school, he was the top student. When he left, he became a legend of A.

So everyone was shocked when they saw him standing in the office.

Even the counsellor was shocked and stuttered: “…Sh-Shen Ming? How come you…?”

Shen Ming politely nodded: “Mr Zheng, hello, I am Shen Ming, Jiang Nian’s boyfriend.”

… Jiang Nian’s boyfriend….?

… So the rich third generations of Jiang Nian’s mouth who is particularly rich was Shen Ming?

The counsellor felt that Jiang Nian, a university student needed to go back to middle school to improve her ability to express herself. How is this just another “rich third generation”…?  This is obviously a super-rich, rich and rich third generation!
