55: Chapter 55 One second he was lying on the verge of death, the next he was barbecuing and drinking.

Gao Mingxuan and his group left the teaching building in disgrace, with the boos of the students following them.

"Young Master Gao, I really didn't hit him..." The bald bodyguard, Old Zhang, followed behind, his face full of grievance.

"Shut up!" Gao Mingxuan turned around abruptly and slapped him across the face. "Useless trash! I told you to scare him, who told you to lay a hand on him?"

"I really didn't!!" The bodyguard continued to explain, but no matter how he explained it, he only had that one sentence.

Gao Mingxuan also noticed something was off, but he still didn't believe it. "He's just a student! Could he be smart enough... or shameless enough... to have such schemes? And he had the nerve to pull it off?"

"He has fifty million in his account!" The bald bodyguard suddenly remembered; the other party had shown him the balance.

"Do you know what you're saying..." Gao Mingxuan's gaze darkened.

"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes."

"A simulator?"

"I... I don't know about that, but it looked real!"

Gao Mingxuan took a deep breath, walked out of the teaching building, kicked the trash can beside him, and then turned around to say, "I don't care who he is! You go check him out. If he has no background... you know what to do!"

"Don't worry! He won't be so lucky off campus."

...

On the other side, Tang Luochuan was helped into a car by several male classmates.

Zhang Ming drove his panamera, taking Tang Luochuan and Zhou Qi away from the school.

Although Shen Muyan and Jiang Jinyue also wanted to go, they were refused by Tang Luochuan.

The reason was that the two of them still had to be busy with the Freshman Orientation Gala.

"Old Zhang! The nearest Grade A tertiary hospital is the Third People's Hospital, I'll navigate for you!" Zhou Qi said, looking nervous.

"Okay!"

However, Tang Luochuan suddenly sat up. "No! It's almost lunchtime, let's go eat barbecue first, my treat! In the afternoon, let's go to my place to game; my esports room is set up... and I have a few laptops! I'll give you each one."

Once he finished speaking, the car fell silent.

Zhou Qi and Zhang Ming didn't pay attention to what he said, but instead looked at Tang Luochuan, who had been nearly dead just a moment ago, suddenly acting like nothing had happened.

They were a bit shocked.

"Luochuan, you... you aren't having a final burst of energy, are you?"

"A final burst of your sister, I was faking it."

"Huh? Faking it?"

"Yeah, turn left up ahead, I know a pretty good barbecue restaurant!"

...

At noon, Shen Muyan, Wang Fangfang, and Li Jiaqi, along with Su Yuanyuan and Liu Xin from Jiang Jinyue's side, gathered.

Six girls sat around a table.

"Yueyue, it's okay! Let's go to the hospital to see him this afternoon!" Shen Muyan said, putting her arm around her shoulder.

Jiang Jinyue was still sobbing silently, not just because Tang Luochuan had been 'beaten up.'

But also because the mastermind behind it was Gao Mingxuan, whom she had once considered a brother.

This sense of tearing apart made her miserable.

Just then, Tang Luochuan sent a message with a photo attached: "Eating! Come back early in the afternoon!" (Photo)

In the photo, he, Zhang Ming, and Zhou Qi were sitting together, drinking, and eating barbecue.

Shen Muyan: [What do you mean? You didn't go to the hospital?]

Tang Luochuan: [Nope, I'll call my counselor this afternoon! I'll say I'm taking a few days off!]

Tang Luochuan: [I'm perfectly fine, the bald guy didn't touch me! I lay down myself... but you have to keep it a secret for me.]

Shen Muyan stared at the phone screen, her fingers repeatedly zooming in on the photo of the barbecue stall.

Then she secretly showed it to Jiang Jinyue.

The latter's eyes also revealed a sense of shock.

Jiang Jinyue whispered, "Should we report him as 'model students'? Or..."

Shen Muyan quickly stopped her. "He's our boyfriend, sigh... don't say it..."

"Yueyue, Muyan, hurry up and eat!" Li Jiaqi pushed the dishes on the table, then glanced at the necklaces around their necks and said nonchalantly, "New necklaces? Four-leaf clovers?"

"Ah, yes..." Shen Muyan quickly used this topic to chat. "Luochuan gave them to us."

"Damn, I'm envious!" Li Jiaqi stopped pretending; it felt more comfortable to be herself like this.

Just then, Su Wantang walked over with heavy steps.

She stood beside the goddesses and looked at Jiang Jinyue.

"Do you need something?" Jiang Jinyue asked.

Su Wantang suddenly bowed deeply. "I'm sorry."

"..."

The few girls were all a bit confused.

Shen Muyan spoke up. "This matter has nothing to do with you."

"No!" Su Wantang stood up. "I am apologizing to you two on behalf of Brother Mingxuan."

The expressions of the six girls were quite colorful, each with their own confusion.

Li Jiaqi was straightforward. "You really are delusional, you've hit rock bottom as a sycophant! He hit our Luochuan, and you think a simple 'sorry' is enough?! You should bring gifts and apologize in person!!"

"Our?" Shen Muyan rolled her eyes internally; this girl was still pining for Tang Luochuan.

Su Wantang was pale, as if she were the one who had done something wrong. "No problem! I will apologize, I will buy gifts. Which hospital is he in?"

"Muyan, tell her!" Li Jiaqi immediately said loudly.

Shen Muyan and Jiang Jinyue looked at Li Jiaqi with the urge to strangle her.

Which hospital? How would they know!

Shen Muyan picked up her chopsticks and, without looking at her, prepared to eat. "Forget it, Luochuan said he's not holding it against him anymore!"

"That won't do, how can we let him suffer a loss like this! They beat someone up and just walked away like that? People are bullied when they are kind, and horses are ridden when they are docile!" Li Jiaqi was so anxious she wanted to slap the table.

Su Yuanyuan, Wang Fangfang, and Liu Xin also chimed in.

Shen Muyan said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to apologize! We are not pursuing it!"

"Damn, what a nonchalant family." Li Jiaqi was left speechless.

"However!" Jiang Jinyue suddenly said, "You want to apologize? If you have the ability, make Gao Mingxuan go apologize. Anything else is unacceptable."

This was purely making things difficult for Su Wantang. If she could order Gao Mingxuan around, she wouldn't have come here to lose face herself.

"He hits someone and just leaves! Making a girl come over to apologize for him, disgusting! What a turn-off!" Li Jiaqi chattered on and on.

Su Wantang, however, said, "He didn't ask me to come. Brother Mingxuan wasn't like this before! Jiang Jinyue, you should know that. I just think there's a misunderstanding."

Jiang Jinyue and Shen Muyan blushed, thinking to themselves, "The misunderstanding is huge! Tang Luochuan is purely scamming him..."

But it was true that the other party wanted to threaten him.

"Miss Su, I really feel sorry for you! Gao Mingxuan can't even compare to one of Tang Luochuan's fingers!!"

Jiang Jinyue's voice carried a hint of ruthlessness. "To be a woman like this is a disgrace to all women!"

"I'll tell you the truth. The Gao Family's investment failed! They owe a mountain of debt! When the debt matures, they'll go bankrupt if they can't pay it back. My dad, out of old friendship, lent their family 50 million! He thinks I'm young, so he didn't tell me about this?"

"Tell me, why is Gao Mingxuan so actively pursuing me? Is it really because I'm better than you? Does he like me more?"
