It has been like this since childhood. My father and his father were competitors in the business world, and he and I attended the same kindergarten and elementary school. Later, my father's career moved abroad, and I went abroad as well. However, this guy hasn't changed at all over the years; he still enjoys causing me trouble. Gu Rong was recounting his grievances with Han Ran to Su Jingjing.

"It is from the second class next door," Gu Rong said, increasingly agitated. "Just now, as I was walking forward, he suddenly came over to block me and started saying a whole bunch of sarcastic remarks. It was simply intentional to make me uncomfortable."

Gu Rong looked at Su Jingjing and suddenly asked, "You aren't angry, are you?"

Han Ran looked at Gu Rong with a cold smile and said softly, "Someone like you deserves to be abandoned by everyone." After speaking, he disregarded Gu Rong's reaction and directly walked towards the teaching building

No

Are you out of your mind? What does it matter to you where I go? Ever since the day we met in college, you have been looking for trouble with me for no reason. If you are so bored, why don't you go play by banging your head against the wall

Su Jingjing quietly listened to Gu Rong's account and gained a preliminary understanding of the dispute between Han Ran and him. She felt that Gu Rong had been bullied by Han Ran. To her, Gu Rong was her employer, the person she needed to protect, and she absolutely could not allow Gu Rong to be bullied by others. With this in mind, Su Jingjing thought of a simple and straightforward method. She resolved to teach Han Ran a lesson. By this point, she had even forgotten about what had happened at the KTV the previous day, fully focused on seeking justice for Gu Rong.

I simply cannot stand some people who, despite clearly having taken shortcuts, remain oblivious to it. Han Ran adjusted the immaculate collar of his shirt and said with an air of superiority

Gu Rong stood behind Han Ran, momentarily stunned. After a while, he angrily shouted at his back: "You are the one who is truly abandoned by both friends and family!"

Gu Rong glanced at Su Jingjing and said without any hesitation: "What’s wrong with me? You are well aware of your own identity, there is no need for me to remind you." After a moment's thought, he asked, "Have you told my dad about my situation?"

"It is good that there is none." Gu Rong thought again of Han Ran's expression from earlier, and his anger flared up once more, "That guy Han Ran is causing me trouble early in the morning. Just because his grades are a bit better than mine? What is there to be so proud of?"

Su Jingjing quickly denied, "No."

Today, Gu Rong did not lie in the last row sleeping as usual; instead, he energetically sat beside Su Jingjing.

"Who is Han Ran?" Su Jingjing raised her head from the book and asked Gu Rong, as she had heard the words "trouble".

The newcomer was about the same height as Gu Rong, but somewhat slimmer. Although his facial features were comparable to Gu Rong's, he possessed a certain delicate and refined air. However, facial features are often unreliable and can differ greatly from one's true character. He tilted his eyes and curled his thin lips in a sarcastic manner, saying: "I entered through proper means, unlike some people who have relied on connections from childhood to adulthood. I bet you don't even know which way the school's front door faces"

Su Jingjing was originally engrossed in her reading when she was genuinely startled to see Gu Rong suddenly sit down beside her: "You?"

Gu Rong listened to Han Ran's words, each one laced with sarcasm, and couldn't help but feel anger rising: "Han Ran, don't push your luck. What I, Gu Rong, am like is not for you to comment on."

Gu Rong only saw a pair of shoes standing close to him. He looked up and found that a person was blocking his way. Gu Rong rubbed his eyes and carefully examined the other person's face, finally recognizing who had come. "If you can stay here, why can't I?" he retorted with a cold smile.

Gu Rong was hungover the night before, yet had to attend "Master of Extinction" class early the next morning. Rubbing his heavy head, Gu Rong carried his textbooks towards the teaching building. As he lifted his head to observe the world, everything he saw appeared to be swaying and strange.

Hmm. Su Jingjing bit her lip and did not look at Gu Rong

It is truly rare for the school to retain you after everything that has happened

Why is he causing you trouble

That is good. Gu Rong nodded in satisfaction, saying, "You should obediently report to him, picking out some things he likes to hear, such as how I have been diligently studying recently."
