Falling Out

Chu Bai leaned against the corridor balcony, enjoying the evening breeze and watching two beautiful girls walk by hand in hand downstairs.

Shui Ze High School had three recognized School Belles, all of whom were in their third year.

One was Xu Muyan, and the other two were the girls who had just passed by downstairs.

"If only both of them could be my girlfriends," Chu Bai fantasized inwardly.

Just then, a powerful force struck his lower back.

Someone had sneak-attacked him, kicking Chu Bai hard.

Chu Bai almost threw up his dinner.

He turned back angrily, only to see that the attacker was Chen Zishi.

"Are you f*cking crazy?!" Chu Bai roared, suppressing the urge to fight back.

If he hadn't just been disciplined again, he would have definitely pinned Chen Zishi to the ground and rubbed him in the dirt.

In all his life, Chu Bai had been in countless fights, and he hated nothing more than cowardly sneak attacks from behind.

"You beast!" Chen Zishi was in a frenzy, accusing him angrily.

"I'm innocent! You'd rather believe a woman than me, your brother, wouldn't you?"

Chu Bai guessed that Wen Jing must have told Chen Zishi what happened; otherwise, Chen Zishi would never have lost control like this.

"I believe your mother's ass!" Chen Zishi cursed.

"Damn it, you're just an idiot, a retard! You don't even know when you're being tricked. I don't have a brother like you anymore, we're done!" Chu Bai's anger flared.

"You dog, worse than a beast! If you want to cut ties, then cut ties!"

Ding, the Host has successfully manipulated events, causing the protagonist Chu Bai and important supporting character Chen Zishi to fall out. You have gained 300 Villain Points, Chu Bai's Protagonist Halo -20, and the Host's Villain Halo +20.

"Perfect!"

Wang Haoran nodded with satisfaction after receiving the system notification.

This plan had succeeded perfectly, just as he had envisioned.

After evening self-study ended, students and teachers prepared to head home.

To avoid suspicion, Song Zhenyu stayed in the office for a while longer, just like the day before.

Wang Haoran took advantage of this time to take Wen Jing home.

In the car.

"Darling, I've completed all the tasks you assigned. Are you satisfied?" Wen Jing asked with a sweet smile.

"You did a beautiful job," Wang Haoran praised, looking at Wen Jing's slightly red eyes.

"Are you okay?"

"It's fine now." Wen Jing shook her head dismissively.

As long as she could do what Wang Haoran asked, this little bit of hardship was nothing to her.

Wang Haoran took out his phone and transferred 188,000 yuan to Wen Jing as a reward.

Wen Jing was completely stunned.

Her family's total annual income was only about fifty or sixty thousand, and her usual monthly allowance was only two or three hundred.

188,000 yuan was definitely a super large sum of money for Wen Jing.

To be with the boy she deeply loved and have so much money to spend.

Wen Jing increasingly felt that her decision to be with Wang Haoran was truly too wise.

"I'll take you back."

Wang Haoran was about to tell the driver to start the car.

However, Wen Jing suddenly held Wang Haoran's hand and said affectionately,

"Darling, I miss you so much."

"You've recovered?"

"No."

"Then I'll still take you back. You cried for so long today, aren't you tired?"

"I... I'm fine," Wen Jing said, lowering her head.

"Then I'll take you to a hotel first. I have something to do, I'll come find you later."

Wang Haoran suddenly felt that his cheap father really had some foresight to give him a Black Gold VIP Card.

He didn't even need to book a room in advance, he could just go directly.

"Okay, okay!"

Wen Jing nodded excitedly and quickly took out her phone to call her family.

Xu Muyan returned home, took a shower, and washed away the day's fatigue.

Passing through the living room, her father was still watching TV.

"Dad, I'm going back to my room to sleep," Xu Muyan said.

"Yanyan, wait a moment, Dad has something to tell you," Xu father beckoned.

"What do you want to tell me?" Xu Muyan was a little curious.

"There's a student in your class named Chu Bai, right?"

"Yes, Dad, how did you know?!"

"I saw him at the station."

"What did he do?"

"Nothing," Xu's father shook his head, a look of admiration on his face. "There's a student at your school who reported a group of criminals. You should know about this, right? I handled the case, and the student who reported them was Chu Bai."

"Oh, it was him." Xu Muyan's expression was indifferent.

"Yan Yan, judging by your look, why do you seem to dislike this Chu Bai a bit?"

"He tried to molest my best friend. I wish I could beat him up."

"Something like that happened? Tell me the details." Xu's father said.

Xu Muyan told her father the information she had gotten from Wen Jing.

"Your best friend only heard a sound and touched the other person's hair. That doesn't prove that person was definitely Chu Bai." Xu's father's professional habit kicked in.

"But he admitted it."

"According to your description, all the evidence points to Chu Bai, and that girl chose to settle the matter and have Chu Bai apologize. It's normal for Chu Bai to make this choice to avoid trouble."

"Dad, why do you seem to be protecting this Chu Bai?" Xu Muyan was puzzled.

"Although I've only met this Chu Bai once, I can be sure he's not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding," Xu's father said.

Could it be that Jing Jing was mistaken? This thought suddenly popped into Xu Muyan's mind.

Because of the nature of his job, her father dealt with various criminals every day and was very good at judging people.

Of course, Xu Muyan believed her father's judgment.

At the same time, Xu Muyan also believed that her best friend had no reason to lie.

However, this matter had already come to an end, so there was no need to dwell on it.

Xu Muyan shook off the distracting thoughts and suddenly asked, "Dad, why did you suddenly bring up this Chu Bai?"

"Ah, look how muddled I am, I almost forgot while talking." Xu's father patted his forehead, then pointed to the phone on the tea table. "Chu Bai just called you. You were taking a shower, so Dad answered. I told him that when you came back, I'd have you call him back."

"Huh?" Xu Muyan was very reluctant.

"You don't want Dad to break his promise, do you?" Xu's father spread his hands.

Xu Muyan had no choice but to call back, putting it on speakerphone.

Chu Bai answered instantly.

"Is this Uncle or Xu Muyan?"

"It's Yan Yan." Xu's father answered for his daughter.

Xu Muyan couldn't help but roll her eyes at her father, then spoke indifferently:

"What do you want?"

"Xu Muyan, I really didn't do anything to Wen Jing, I was framed!" Chu Bai quickly explained.

Since Wen Jing would tell Chen Zishi about it, Xu Muyan, as Wen Jing's best friend, would definitely know about it too.

Chu Bai wasn't afraid of falling out with Chen Zishi, but he was afraid of being disliked by Xu Muyan.

So, after evening self-study, Chu Bai estimated that Xu Muyan would be home and able to use her phone. He immediately called her, wanting to tell her the truth.

"His tone is firm, and he speaks without any hesitation. He must be telling the truth." Xu Muyan's father's occupational habit kicked in again, and he couldn't help but comment, adding to his daughter, "Yan Yan, it seems this young man Chu Bai is truly innocent."

"Thank you, Uncle Xu! Xu Muyan, you also believe I'm innocent, right?" Chu Bai said excitedly over the phone.

"That's not important anymore. You should focus on the joint entrance examination in a few days," Xu Muyan didn't want to dwell on the matter.

"I'm not worried about the joint entrance examination at all. I've been studying very hard recently. I can at least get into the top ten in the class for the joint entrance examination," Chu Bai was overflowing with confidence.

"Bragging!" Xu Muyan pouted.

The top ten students in the class were all top students, all with a great chance of getting into first-tier and key universities.

Chu Bai used to be at the bottom of the class. In the last monthly exam, he only scored in the lower middle range, still belonging to the ranks of "poor students." Getting into the top ten all of a sudden was simply impossible.

"I'm not bragging. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. If I can get into the top ten in the class, you'll be my girlfriend. If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me. Do you dare to bet?" Chu Bai said.
