Li Zhen didn’t expect to be directly rejected.

He stood still for a while, watching the two of them, before his lips curled up slightly. He jogged a few steps to catch up and took the initiative to approach Mei Shu. “The dessert shop we went to last time was good. How about trying some different flavors of cake tonight?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan’s expression froze, and he looked down at Mei Shu carefully for a while. “When did you two eat dessert together?”

“We bumped into each other when I was buying practice books and decided to eat together.” Mei Shu replied nonchalantly.

Lu Yan mentally calculated the time she last bought practice books, and a layer of frost seemed to form in front of him. “Oh, was that the time I recommended you to buy exercise problems?”

Li Zhen, with a smile on his face, continued the conversation, “Mei Shu also complimented me last time. I bought this sports shirt recently. Do you like it?”

His gaze was intense, and he focused only on Mei Shu when he spoke. This attentive gaze made many girls blush and their hearts race.

But obviously, Mei Shu was not a girl in the mood for romance, and she was not interested in Li Zhen’s tricks.

“It’s okay, not as good as last time. This outfit doesn’t match your age either. If you didn’t say it’s new, I would have thought you were wearing your father’s clothes to school.”

Li Zhen’s face stiffened, and he turned into stone on the spot.

Lu Yan chuckled softly and nodded as if it were a serious matter. “It seems our tastes are similar. How about the next time you’re free, accompany me to the mall to pick out some clothes?”

Mei Shu didn’t think much and simply agreed, “Sure, you’ve helped me with my studies a lot, and I want to help you too. Let’s wait until after the exams, and we can go together to buy some clothes for college.”

“Deal.” The two of them reached an agreement and walked away, chatting and laughing, leaving Li Zhen still frozen in place, unable to move his feet for a while.

What’s going on?

This woman clearly had a favorable impression of him last time, so why did she suddenly show no respect for him?

Especially in front of Lu Yan!

Wait a minute!

Could it be that Mei Shu likes Lu Yan, so she deliberately belittled him in front of him to avoid misunderstandings?

With this thought, Li Zhen felt like grinding his teeth to pieces.

He didn’t like Mei Shu in the first place, but because she was beautiful, he treated her with a little more tenderness.

But now, this woman repeatedly seduced him and then moved on to liking Lu Yan, which sparked some interest in him!

If it’s about being a jerk, he didn’t believe that she, a girl, could outdo him!

Let’s wait and see!

Li Zhen snorted coldly, turned around, and walked away in the opposite direction.

The next day, as soon as Mei Shu arrived at school, someone grabbed her hand.

The person was a sweet-looking girl from the next class. She always blinked her big eyes timidly when she looked at people, making them unable to help but be patient with her.

Even Mei Shu, who was in a hurry to go to her classroom for self-study, couldn’t help but stop when she saw her. “What’s the matter?”

“You’re Mei Shu, right? I have something I want to ask you.” The girl hesitantly stood in front of her.

Mei Shu was confused by her attitude and couldn’t help but ask, “What is it?

Just tell me.”

The girl glanced around at the expressions of the people nearby. Although they were all walking toward the teaching building, they were intentionally slowing down, eavesdropping on the conversation. She smirked and said in a low voice, “Was Mei Mu’s mother really the mistress of your father? Is she the daughter your father had outside the marriage?”

Upon hearing this, Mei Shu immediately understood who was behind this matter.

She smiled faintly and helplessly shook her head. “I don’t want to talk about this matter. Please don’t continue to inquire about it. The past is too painful, and I don’t want to mention it in front of others.”

Is it true then?

The girl’s eyes widened in shock, and she watched as Mei Shu, with a lonely expression, left on her own. She quickly grabbed her best friend’s hand and said, “Oh my god, we’ve been idolizing a mistress’s daughter all these years! Isn’t she deceiving our feelings?”

This news quickly spread like wildfire.

When Mei Mu arrived at school, everyone’s gaze toward her had changed.

Mei Mu found it strange. She felt everyone staring at her, and even when she entered the classroom, the feeling didn’t diminish.

She discreetly approached one of her followers in the class and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong with everyone in the class today? Is there something wrong with my hairstyle?”

She could think of no other reason for her classmates’ strange looks other than her hair.

She got angry whenever this matter was brought up.

It was all because of that damn Mei Shu. She had lost her beautiful black hair. Now, with the weather so hot, she had to wear a wig every day and would end up sweating profusely when she got home. And washing the wig wasn’t as simple as washing her own hair!

It took a lot of time every day, which caused her practice time on the piano to be reduced.

“It’s not because of that!” her follower tried to explain quietly, but the classmates around them all pricked up their ears, eavesdropping on their conversation. She didn’t dare to provoke their anger and had to turn around, ignoring Mei Mu’s attempts to get her attention..
