Qian Feng was unaware that everyone already knew the truth from Shen Luoluo's inner thoughts, and was still trying to deny it.

Father Zhou didn't even want to look at him again. "Beat him to death!"

After he finished speaking, several men dressed as bodyguards in black stepped out and began punching and kicking Qian Feng again.

The children nearby tried to intervene, shouting, "Don't hit my dad! Don't hit my dad!"

Her mother stopped her, saying, "Chenchen, your dad did something wrong and he deserves to be beaten. Don't be like him, he's a bastard!"

The boy then stopped crying, though he was still crying.

Father Zhou was even angrier. "Not only are you a liar, but you also abandoned your wife and children. How could you face them?!" It's so pitiful for this mother and son to have met such a scumbag!

"Dad, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"

When Qian Feng realized that pleading with his father-in-law wouldn't work, he turned to his Bride, pleading, "Wife, wife, I didn't mean it! Please, please, say a word to Dad for me! I've been wronged!"

In response, the Bride slapped him twice, saying, "I must have been blind to have fallen for you! You brought a wolf into the house!"

Enraged, she kicked the man there. "You like to play around, huh? Let's see how you play around in the future!"

"Hiss--" The onlookers gasped; it looked painful.

Xiang Lu, however, just wanted to applaud. Serves him right! This kind of person should be eliminated immediately; keeping him around is just a menace!

The groom was beaten half to death and lay motionless on the ground. The farce came to an end, and how to handle it afterward was a family matter for the Zhou Family. However, now that they knew everything, Father Zhou would not let him off easily.

On the way back, Zhao Huizhen was still sighing, "I don't think that son-in-law is that handsome. How did Miss Zhou fall for him!"

[How did you fall for him? It wasn't that you were attracted to him; you were deceived by his sweet talk! He said good morning and good night every day, picked you up and dropped you off from get off work, gave you water when you were thirsty and clothes when you were cold, and took care of you in every way. You thought he loved you, but little did you know he was after your money!]

[But we can't entirely blame Miss Zhou. After all, she grew up in the Zhou Family, her mother was absent, and her father was often away negotiating deals and didn't pay much attention to her. She never experienced the warmth of a family, so she was easily deceived by a little bit of concern from others!]

Zhao Huizhen nodded. Yes, family factors play a significant role! She secretly resolved that she absolutely could not let her daughter end up like Miss Zhou!

She tentatively asked, "Does Luoluo have someone she likes at school?"

"Cough cough cough!" Shen Luoluo almost choked on her own saliva. Why did the question suddenly come to her?

"No, no, I should be focusing on my studies now. What's the point of talking about romance!"

Zhao Huizhen smiled gently, her face full of kindness, "It's okay if you have one, Mom and Dad don't object, but remember to bring it home to show Mom and Dad, so they can help you decide!"

"Me too!" Shen Jiayan interjected.

"How come you get a share of everything?" Zhao Huizhen laughed and patted his head.

Shen Luoluo understood; it was a post-wedding banquet lingering effect. She obediently nodded, "Okay!"

Zhao Huizhen smiled with relief, her heart softening.

It's Monday again, and every Monday brings the inevitable post-holiday blues, with most students slumped over their desks, feeling drowsy.

The International Class, on the contrary, was very lively.

"I heard a couple of days ago that Shen Anya stole Xiang Lu's fiancé. I thought it was just a rumor, something people were spreading, but this morning they haven't said a word, Xiang Lu even asked the Teacher to change her seat! It seems it must be true!"

"Xiang Lu is really pitiful. She was so good to Shen Anya, but in the end, she was betrayed by her best friend. I couldn't accept that!"

"Who could stand it? Having your boyfriend stolen by your best friend! I've had a feeling something was off about Shen Anya for a long time. She was always the third wheel between Xiang Lu and Lu Yanshi. I never thought it was true! A woman's intuition is really accurate!"

"And another thing, have you guys seen the forum posts? Her brother himself said she's an adopted daughter, and the one in the Rocket Class is the real heiress!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I saw it too. The scariest thing is that she knows she's an adopted daughter, yet she still hogs the title of someone else's heiress! She enjoys it as if it's her right, how terrifying!"

The classroom was filled with constant chatter all morning.

Shen Anya couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to; whether in class, on the road, or in the bathroom, people were talking about her! She painfully covered her ears, trying to block out the noise.

Xiang Lu had moved from the front to the back, and now he was leisurely propping himself up on his arms, watching the scene before him with a relaxed and contented expression.

They're capable of such shameless things, yet they're afraid of what others will say!

Just as energetic as Xiang Lu was Shen Jiayan, who was currently scrolling through his phone like crazy.

Duan Yixing curiously leaned closer, "Brother Yan, what are you looking at so intently?"

Shen Jiayan didn't even look up. "You've come at the perfect time. My sister's birthday is coming up soon. Come help me figure out what kind of birthday present to buy for her."

Instead of answering, Duan Yixing asked, "Do I still need to choose? Don't you just randomly pick one of those Ling Bei'er teddy bears every year?!"

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Yanze smacked her on the head. "You forgot about Sister Luoluo!"

"Oh yeah," Duan Yixing said, rubbing his head, "Brother Yan, when is Sister Luoluo's birthday party? I want to pick out a gift for Luoluo later! Hey, what do you guys think? How about I give her a complete set of skins for all the heroes in the game? Sister Luoluo would definitely love it!"

"You're overthinking it!" Jiang Yi's voice drifted over from the side. "Girls don't like game skins! With your way of giving gifts, no wonder you don't have girlfriends!"

Duan Yixing retorted, "Why are you resorting to personal attacks!"

Jiang Yi shook her head and sighed almost imperceptibly. This person is beyond saving.

Instead, Shen Jiayan quickly put down his phone and humbly asked, "So what do you girls like?"

Jiang Yi: "There are many! Everyone has different preferences, so just observe carefully!"

As a result, when Shen Luoluo was eating lunch, she could clearly feel that someone was staring at them.
