When Zhao Xuran and his group heard rumors and rushed over, they found that it was nearly over.

"What happened?" Gong Ruwen saw that his sister was fine and let out a sigh of relief.

They had to know that this group of people were typical moral paragons who wouldn’t back down until you agreed with them.

How did his sister manage to handle them all? Impressive.

"No matter what they think, if I can get a scholarship, I won’t give it up."

This girl was still holding onto this thought, and Gong Ruwen wanted to advise his sister that it wasn’t necessary to care about such a small amount, and there was no need to make a fuss.

"Brother, it’s because everyone thinks like you that such people’s behavior is tolerated."

"They carry the banner of so-called justice but never think about truly helping those in need."

"Even if they wanted to help, they shouldn’t push down those with good grades."

"Why did I work hard all semester, only for my effort to end like this?"

"If they really think they should help others, why not negotiate with the school about possibly reducing tuition or dorm fees for those good students from less well-off families."

"If possible, help them find work-study jobs, so they can earn while studying. Teach a man to fish rather than give him a fish."

"That way, they also contribute and their ability to accept help will be greater and stronger."

"They could learn more, too."

"Meanwhile, we who have good grades wouldn’t have to worry about giving away the scholarships we worked hard for."

Strong—his sister’s response was impressively strong, and Gong Ruwen habitually wanted to give her a thumbs-up.

Zhao Xuran was lost in thought. On the surface, Gong Ruini’s suggestion seemed like a ploy not to donate her scholarship.

But Zhao Xuran detected an opportunity here, a chance to seize a good opportunity.

"Ni Zi, we can continue discussing this," Zhao Xuran hinted that such a good opportunity couldn’t be missed.

Gong Ruini realized later that this was something they could strategize on.

If handled well, it could definitely elevate their family’s reputation.

Watching the two of them chat enthusiastically, Gong Ruwen wondered how this girl could be so sharp, but he should listen to how Ni Zi planned to solve it.

Even if it wasn’t immediately useful, it didn’t mean it wouldn’t be in the future. Learning more is always good.

As the three walked away, Luo Zijun emerged from the corner she was hiding in, her face visibly tense.

Despite so many people gathering and several who loved to talk, how did it end with Gong Ruini teaching them a lesson?

Such a good opportunity was wasted, and Luo Zijun didn’t know if there would be another chance like this.

"I don’t believe she’ll be this lucky every time." Luo Zijun wasn’t surprised to see Gong Ruwen come over, but she was curious why Zhao Xuri also looked worried.

Not worried, that wasn’t the trait, more like a bit annoyed.

Moreover, why did Zhao Xuran want to find a place to talk after Gong Ruini’s speech—what was the situation?

Luo Zijun thought there was definitely something more between Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran; otherwise, he wouldn’t have this attitude.

After leaving the site, Gong Ruini hit Gong Ruwen on the head a few times.

Although not very hard, it was enough for Gong Ruini to feel wronged, "Brother, how can you hit me?"

"Do I need a reason to hit you?"

"I was being lenient," Gong Ruwen added.

555, isn’t this bullying? Gong Ruini looked at Zhao Xuran, hoping he’d stand up for her.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xuran, following Gong Ruwen, also knocked her head, "You, what should I say about you?"

"You’re too reckless." Zhao Xuran was aware that the group might not physically attack, but some shoving wasn’t out of the question.

Was she reckless? Gong Ruini wanted to explain that she wasn’t.

"Did you know someone was eavesdropping?" Zhao Xuran asked Gong Ruini.

What, someone was eavesdropping? On what? Gong Ruini looked puzzled; she really didn’t know.

"Someone was behind you just now."

"Your roommate, Luo Zijun." Gong Ruwen hadn’t met Luo Zijun many times, but he’d always remember her.

"Oh, it’s her." Gong Ruini wasn’t surprised, "She didn’t get the scholarship and was jealous of me, perhaps?"

Though she tried to control her temper, how easy is it to erase something ingrained in your bones?

Was it just jealousy? Gong Ruwen glanced at Zhao Xuran.

Zhao Xuran appeared helpless; could he really be blamed? He hadn’t met Luo Zijun much. If it weren’t for her targeting Ni Zi, he might not remember her.

Does Luo Zijun have feelings for Zhao Xuran? No way, Gong Ruini was surprised, "Has she met Brother Xuran?"

"How could she not, and several times at that." Apparently, his sister really didn’t know anything.

Gong Ruwen was worried about his sister. How could she be so naive, knowing nothing about what’s going on?

Luckily, Zhao Xuran had no ulterior motives; otherwise, his sister would be devastated.

Gong Ruini didn’t know about Gong Ruwen’s concern for her, and she was curious, "Luo Zijun actually approached you?"

And multiple times, yet why hadn’t she heard anything?

"An irrelevant person," Zhao Xuran truly didn’t feel he should be concerned about Luo Zijun’s movements, "Should I be?"

"No." How foolish, why let Zhao Xuran concern himself with Luo Zijun, that’s just bringing her man closer to the opponent.

"Just keep ignoring her." Gong Ruini paused, "But if she appears again, you need to tell me."

Hmph, Luo Zijun is bad news. Now she dares to blatantly get in her way; she must not want to play nice anymore.

The more Gong Ruini thought about it, the angrier she got. She decided to give Luo Zijun a lesson; otherwise, she’d think she was easy to bully.

Seeing the fired-up Gong Ruini, Zhao Xuran was genuinely pleased, "Your roommate doesn’t know about us, right?"

Ahhh, Zhao Xuran’s words snapped Gong Ruini out of her excitement. That’s right, the roommate didn’t know about this, so who can she blame?

Wait, is Zhao Xuran waiting for such a day? He once wanted to publicize their relationship, but she resisted the idea.

Now, should she say it or not? Gong Ruini was troubled.

Zhao Xuran wasn’t in a hurry; he quietly waited by her side for her decision.

Strong, this guy really knows how to seize opportunities, Gong Ruwen admired Zhao Xuran thoroughly for making the most of the opportunity without appearing responsible.
