Calling an Assembly and Revealing Her Identity

In the fading glow of the setting sun.

The vast sports field was packed with students, their teachers leading them.

They stood in square formations.

Densely packed and neatly aligned.

Ye Huo, her parents, her grandfathers, the principal, and the Education Bureau officials stood on the school's central platform, as though reviewing troops and generals in ancient times.

The scene was grand and imposing, solemn and orderly.

Only by disturbing the precious daughter of the Ye Family, the Capital's number-one wealthy family, could St. Peter Aristocratic Academy have been ordered to put on such a grand display.

"This is awesome! No classes!"

"Do you know why the principal called us here?"

"No idea. I heard they might have caught the person who spread the rumors."

"Rumors? Things turned around that fast?"

"Yeah, I heard Sister Huo's family called the police, and the police issued a statement saying the photos were edited to spread rumors! Her own grandfather was just shopping with his granddaughter, and they twisted it into that. How awful!"

"Holy crap! Seriously? Whoever spread those rumors was way too blackhearted!"

"Yeah, and there's an even more earth-shattering piece of gossip. Sister Huo's grandpa is that low-profile richest man in the country, the one ranked number one-Ye Zhengyang!"

"Oh my god, she's got the script of a true wealthy heiress protagonist!"

"No wonder she can show up in a luxury car every day. Her family's background is unfathomably deep!"

Whispers rippled through the crowd on the sports field.

Ye Huo, dressed in her school uniform, stood before the microphone on the platform.

Her skin was fair, her features delicate, and her long, straight black hair fell loose around her. A noble aura radiated from her entire being.

The brilliant starlight of the setting sun shone upon her.

At that moment, heaven and earth seemed to pale in comparison.

Ye Huo stood straight on the platform like a shining star, both commanding and cool. Whether it was her figure, her looks, or her bearing, her beauty was god-tier.

Holding the microphone, she casually lifted her eyes, and the boys across the school went wild.

"Sister Huo, how can you be so cool?!"

"Sister Huo, you're my goddess! Marry me!"

"Sister Huo, you must be God's favorite."

Li Zeyuan stood on the platform, watching the boys below gaze at Ye Huo with worship and infatuation written all over their faces.

A wave of worry swept through him.

What should I do? My little ancestor is too popular with the boys. What if Huohuo takes a fancy to a young, handsome, energetic guy and thinks I'm too old?

Li Zeyuan was feeling emo.

"Everyone, quiet down!"

Ye Huo ignored their gazes.

She picked up the microphone and stood on the platform, arching an eyebrow. The elegant, noble gesture drew another round of cheers.

Sister Huo truly lived up to her name!

Wherever she went, she was as dazzling as a star, with top-notch qualities to boot!

"First, I'll play a recording. Then the person who spread the rumors will clarify the facts and apologize in person. All right?"

"All right! Go, Sister Huo! Shame on the rumor-monger!"

"Go, Sister Huo! Shame on the rumor-monger!"

Cheers rang out across the sports field.

Ye Huo pointed the voice recorder at the microphone and played it.

Bai Yaxi's voice spread throughout the campus.

"Sob... I was wrong. I shouldn't have been jealous of you. I shouldn't have wanted to ruin you!"

"Ye Huo... I admit I couldn't stand you. I admit I was despicable and shameless. I'm the one who got Long Tai to beat you up... I also hired a private detective to secretly take those photos used to spread rumors..."

"I also told Qian Xiaoteng to put up the posters on the bulletin board... I told him that as long as he was willing to help me, I'd agree to be his girlfriend..."

Bai Yaxi's face was deathly pale, and she hung her head as low as it could go.

At that moment, before everyone's eyes, her true colors were finally exposed.

But no one felt sorry for her!

"I'm surprised, but I believe Bai Yaxi is capable of doing something like that."

"Exactly. She and Qian Xiaoteng are a green tea bitch and a bootlicker-a match made in heaven!"

"She even used her dad's connections to buy exam answers, didn't she? Some campus belle, some academic star-it's all fake!"

"If she has time to put her mind to these underhanded schemes, she'd be better off improving herself and living an honest life!"

"Yeah, Sister Huo is amazing. If someone else had been cyberbullied, they might have lost hope and jumped into a river by now."

"Sister Huo bravely fought back and cleared her name. That's so awesome."

Reproaches rang out from below, ninety-nine percent of them aimed at Bai Yaxi.

Bai Yaxi steeled herself and walked up to the microphone. Bowing at the waist, she said grudgingly, "I'm sorry. I apologize to Sister Huo and everyone I've hurt!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a police car arrived.

They were there to take Bai Yaxi and Qian Xiaoteng away because they had spread rumors that damaged another person's reputation, violating criminal law.

But considering they were still young, the police only took them back to the station to give them a talking-to and have them reflect on their actions!

By the time the clarification assembly ended, school was almost over.

Escorted by the three older brothers, Mom Jian Yan and Dad Ye Chuan held their precious daughter close and went home, doting on her.

In the luxury car, the whole family lavished attention on the apple of their eye.

"Huohuo, you must be tired today! Mom will make you something delicious when we get home!"

"Huohuo, if you run into something upsetting like this again, tell Dad. I'll stand up for you!"

"Huohuo, you handled this very well. You had reason and evidence on your side and struck back at the enemy. Beautifully done! That's my granddaughter, all right!"

Old Master Ye spoke with firm approval.

He especially admired his precious granddaughter: she was decisive and capable, and she wouldn't let others bully or trample her!

That stubborn streak was exactly like his when he was young. She was no less than any man, and she would surely go far in the future!

"Thank you, Grandpa."

The corners of Ye Huo's lips curved up slightly. She was in a very good mood.

Her family stood by her side no matter when, trusting, loving, and supporting her without hesitation!

Warmth filled Ye Huo's heart.

"Why thank me, precious daughter? Our whole family should be thanking you! You're the treasure closest to all our hearts. The happiness you've brought Mom and the whole family has long surpassed everything else in the world..."

Her face full of joy and excitement, Jian Yan drew her precious daughter into her arms, patted her shoulder, and spoke softly.
