Shu Can worriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Autumn Leaf, what's going on? Have you offended someone?"

This was a post that had been posted on the school forums. It said that she had been supported by others for over half a year, and she didn't have the courage to read all the other unpleasant words that had been said in detail.

Although it was quite common for female university students to be taken on as pets in various schools, it did not make a big deal out of it.

The most important thing was that there was truth in this. The people who posted these posts were not satisfied. They sent them out one after another until they attracted the attention of everyone. They also posted their comments one after another below the forum.

After reading the post, her hands were shaking uncontrollably, her face as pale as paper. Pushing away from the computer, she bent over the table and buried her head deep into her arms. She felt a warm liquid seeping through her clothes, straight to her skin.

Shu Can could only sigh in heartache.

"Autumn Leaf, should we inform Zhuang Shili and let him handle this matter?"

"No!"

She looked up from the table and said lightly, her pale face still teared with tears.

"What they say is the truth, so there is no need to deny it and there is no need to deal with it. Let's do it this way. As time passes, everyone will gradually forget about it!"

"But Autumn Leaf …"

Shu Can was still very worried. She felt that it would be better for Zhuang Shili to step in and settle this matter. He could use his power to find the person behind this matter and then suppress it with ease.

How long would it take for this matter to be forgotten by others? It was hard to explain it clearly right now, so could it be that she needed to continue living while facing these strange gazes? She knew that her identity was the pain in her heart. Now that her scars had been removed, how much pain would she suffer?

"I'll go back to class first!"

She lifted her hand to wipe her tears, picked up her bag, and walked out of the classroom.

"Autumn Leaf, why don't you ask for a leave of absence today?"

Shu Can rushed forward to hold her back.

"You can still attend classes in this state?"

Had she gone mad? She was already so unsettled, yet she still wanted to return to class?

She turned around, her clear eyes filled with pain.

"Senior, I've already thought about it. If I were to escape and disappear just like that, it would be tantamount to admitting to this matter!"

"If I remain silent for too long, everyone will give up if they find it boring!"

She lowered her head, afraid that her tears would burst out.

She would not admit it, because it would take too much courage to admit that she was someone else's mistress. She would not deny it, because it was the truth. Even if she denied it, she would feel pale and powerless. Thus, she would remain silent, all the way until everyone forgot about this matter.

Seeing her insistence, Shu Ming did not try to force her any further. He slowly loosened his grip on her hand and watched her stubborn figure disappear down the stairs with worry in his eyes.

Like a sharp arrow, she fiercely shot into Autumn Leaf's heart. With a calm expression, she walked forward, but in reality, her fingernails in her coat had already fiercely dug into her palms, using the sharp pain to force herself to calm down.

She didn't know how she finished the day's lesson, so she went back to her small apartment. The tears that she had endured all day finally began to flow down her face. Crying, she took out photos of her parents and Liangqiu, saying over and over again that she was sorry.

But now, she had actually become someone else's mistress, and had even been unrestrainedly announced by people. Father and Mother must have been disappointed with her, right? She must have defeated the reputation of the Lin Family!

Just like that, he hugged the only piece of the family fortune and cried, constantly apologizing and then falling asleep. The next day she dried her eyes and braced herself for another day.

Just like that, a week had passed, and this matter had gradually calmed down from the initial hustle and bustle. Because this week, everyone was waiting to see her reaction, but she was only attending class as usual, eating as usual, and doing everything as usual. There was nothing out of the ordinary, so everyone gradually lost interest.

That afternoon, Autumn Leaf sat alone in the corner of the cafeteria, eating quietly. As she ate, she suddenly realized that the restaurant, which had been noisy all this time, had suddenly quietened down.

A bad premonition suddenly flashed through her heart. She suddenly recalled the message on the thread saying that she had been taken care of for half a year. She still remembered the day she first came to the manor half a year ago, she had met Zhao Ziqing. At that time, Zhuang Shili had even broken her wrist.

As for the school cafeteria, Zhao Ziqing was disdainful to come here. Today, she had appeared here, and now she was in front of him. It was obvious that she was here for her. Had she taken that picture and posted it online?

However, although she was suspicious, she remained calm on the surface. She looked at Zhao Ziqing and lowered her head to continue eating.

"Lin Qiuye!"

The way she ignored him made Zhao Ziqing angry. She angrily took a step forward and stood in front of her, looking down at her.

Originally, the crowd had already lost interest in her name, but with a roar from Zhao Ziqing, she was once again exposed to the crowd. Furthermore, there were some students who only knew her name, but had never seen her before, and now all their attention was focused on her.

She bit her lips and stood up slowly. She raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Ziqing calmly.

"I am! What's the matter? "

Her indifferent attitude made Zhao Ziqing feel as if she was an unruly shrew. Annoyed, she threw the scalding instant coffee on her body.

"She's just a b * tch, what are you pretending to be so noble here!"

Then he gave her a fierce glare and led the girls away aggressively.

Autumn Leaf had not expected Zhao Ziqing to behave in such a disgraceful manner. Caught off guard, the scalding coffee poured onto her coat. She stood there staring at the stains all over her body.

Everyone was angry at what Zhao Ziqing had done. There were a few girls in her class who had lost their hostility towards her when they saw her act this way. After all, they were all in the same class.

Autumn Leaf, your clothes are dirty. Hurry up and go back to change. In the afternoon, we'll help you apply for a leave of absence from your teacher.

"Thank you!"

With a pinch to her nose, she suppressed the tears in her eyes and hurriedly left with her bag.

Outside the school, the black car was parked quietly in a secluded corner, like a dormant beast.

Dragon One saw the figure approaching from afar through the mirror. He pressed his horn a few times at the right time, but it seemed as if she didn't hear him. She continued walking with her head lowered.

Long Yi was slightly puzzled and pressed a few more buttons. Previously, he had come to the school to pick her up, but every time he would stop on the road she had to take to get to the stop sign. But today, no matter how much he pressed, she was unable to hear anything.

"Boss, Miss Lin's appearance seems a little strange?"

Long Yi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the person that was about to reach the car.

"Damn it!"

Zhuang Shili stared at the absent-minded little woman and muttered a curse. Then he grabbed his phone and dialed her number.

The moment she came out, he felt that something was wrong with her. Her small face was filled with sorrow and despair, unlike how she always gave people a light and shallow feeling.

The ringing continued, and she was almost to their car when she finally heard the phone ringing and took it out of her pocket. But when she saw that it was from him, she seemed terrified.

She looked up frantically in their direction, hung up with a snap, ducked past their car, and ran to the stop sign.

Long Yi was stupefied on the spot, while Zhuang Shili was also slightly stunned. He was so angry that he wanted to rush down and grab her. However, after looking at the surrounding students who were walking around, he suppressed his anger and continued patiently reprimanding them.
