Shi Man asked her to get up from the ground and sit on the sofa to explain. Her attitude was worlds apart from her attitude towards Zhou He.

Chen Wei lowered his voice and asked her why.

Shi Man glanced at him and replied lazily, “Because she’s a girl, it’s not good to attack directly. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have let you go.”

Chen Wei was speechless.

However, on second thought, it made sense. Shi Man seemed to be especially patient with girls. Shi Jing, who had schemed against Su Tang, was not beaten up as Shi Man did to men.

Zhou He sat beside Duan Jia with mixed feelings.

He no longer knew if he should resent Shi Man or hate himself for not having a brain. He could only lower his head and remain silent. The words on his chest were still hurting, but he did not even dare to look up at Shi Man.

Shi Man asked the waiter to serve a bottle of red wine. She poured a glass for Duan Jia and said gently, “Tell us. We all want to know about this teacher.”

Duan Jia held her wine glass uneasily and stole a glance at her expression. “If I’m willing to say anything, will you let me go?”

Shi Man gave a negative answer without thinking.

Chen Wei originally thought that Shi Man would be a little more tactful. At the very least, she had to lie to Duan Jia to get to the truth!

However, he did not expect Shi Man to be so straightforward. He immediately looked at Duan Jia worriedly, worried that she would play some tricks and refuse to tell the truth.

Duan Jia was also a little hesitant, but before she could consider a result, she heard the girl sitting opposite her smile casually. Her calm tone carried an indescribable dignity. “You can hold back, but 1’11 also use other methods to make you spit out everything you know.”

This was a blatant threat.

Duan Jia sighed and helplessly recognized the reality in front of her. She nodded and said, “Alright, 1 can tell you everything.”

Before the summer vacation began, in order to obtain better results at the end of the semester, Duan Jia immersed herself in practice questions all day. She did not interact with anyone almost week after week. She did not even have the time to answer questions from her classmates and only focused on her own matters.

Gradually, the students in the class had a bad impression of Duan Jia. Everyone said that she was selfish and arrogant.

Duan Jia felt terrible when she heard this, but she still tried her best to suppress her emotions. In order not to affect her exam results, she studied hard. Even if others had already returned home from school, she would still study in the classroom until late.

This was until that day when she was slandered for stealing money from the class.

The class monitor walked over with an empty paper bag and threw it on her table. He did not distinguish right or wrong and asked her where the money went.

Duan Jia frowned and finished the last math question in her hand. Only then did she look up from her book and say coldly, “I don’t know.”

“How could you not know? You’re the only one who doesn’t leave after school every day! Before 1 came home yesterday, this money was clearly still in the drawer of the table! Who else could it be?”

The class monitor raised her voice angrily, and the messy classroom instantly fell silent. Everyone’s disdainful or gloating gazes landed on her.

Duan Jia suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

She had always been an invisible figure in the class. No matter how hard she tried, even the teachers sometimes could not remember her name.

She looked ordinary and came from an ordinary family. The only thing she could show was her results on paper.

But even though she had given up socializing and not participated in their trivialities, they still refused to let her go.

Duan Jia was so angry that her eyes turned red. She couldn’t help but stand up and retort, “1 didn’t take this money! 1 don’t know where you put the money at all!”

As soon as she said this, not only did it not garner the approval of the surrounding people, but it also caused a wave of whispers.

In terms of the use of this money alone, Duan Jia was the most suspicious person.

Two days ago, the class monitor suggested that the entire class and the teacher go to a gathering to relax after the exam. Everyone donated the funds excitedly, but Duan Jia refused to attend on the grounds that she wanted to study.

At that time, the students in the class looked at her strangely. Duan Jia never interacted with them. In their opinion, she looked down on them.

“Isn’t she just good at her studies? Why is she pretending? The last time I asked her a question, she was actually very impatient and asked me to leave quickly. Hmph, my family has plenty of money! I don’t have to rely on my studies to do better than her!”

Such whispers were endless. Duan Jia was trembling with anger, but she pretended to be calm. She suddenly sat down and tried her best to immerse her thoughts in the question again.

Unfortunately, someone would not let her have her way.

The class monitor slammed the table angrily and looked down at her coldly. “Come with me to the teacher’s office and hand over the money!”

“I told you, I didn’t take your money!” Duan Jia waved her hand away irritably.

However, this action completely angered the class monitor and the surrounding students..
