7: Section 7

Ever since Xiao Fan became infatuated with that Campus Belle, he hasn't shown his daughter a shred of kindness.

As her father, Chen Jianye watched this, feeling pain in his heart. If not for his good relationship with Xiao Taian, he would have arranged for someone to deal with Xiao Fan long ago.

"Nothing... it's just... a very good friend."

Seeing Chen Xueqi's hesitant expression, Chen Jianye, as someone who had been through it all, immediately understood what had happened.

"Xueqi, listen to your dad's advice. That boy is no good. He might change his mind in a couple of days."

"No, Brother Fan is very good to me. Look, he even gave me this."

Chen Xueqi proudly took out the heart of the deep orchid and waved it in front of Chen Jianye.

"Who knows how many people that boy has given gifts to? Does his family lack that bit of money? Listen to me, I have an old comrade-in-arms with whom I have a good relationship. His son is about your age..."

"I won't listen, I won't listen! I'm only marrying Brother Fan!"

Chen Xueqi covered her ears with both hands and walked into her room without looking back, locking the door behind her.

"What kind of bewitching potion did Xiao Fan pour into my little darling?

Don't let me find out you're bullying my daughter, otherwise, even if your father is Xiao Taian, I won't let you off!"

His wife had passed away long ago, and his daughter was his Achilles' heel.

He would not allow anyone to bully Chen Xueqi... Early the next morning, Xiao Fan's phone started ringing incessantly.

"Who is it? Calling so early in the morning? Don't you know I need to sleep?"

In a daze, Xiao Fan picked up his phone.

"Brother Fan, you're not still asleep, are you?"

"Xueqi Baby, have you had breakfast yet? Do you want to come to my place to eat together?"

Hearing Chen Xueqi's voice, Xiao Fan's tone became incredibly gentle.

"I've already eaten."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Chen Xueqi felt her heart race a little.

"Then wait for me a bit. We'll go to school together later."

"Mmm~"

After breakfast, Uncle Zhou was already waiting in a Rolls-Royce.

"Go to Chen Xueqi's house first."

The Rolls-Royce was fast, and there was no traffic. They arrived at school shortly.

"Oh my goodness, what am I seeing? Young Master Xiao and Chen Xueqi are together!"

"I think Young Master Xiao and Chen Xueqi are a match made in heaven. If it weren't for Young Master Xiao, Yue Fuyao wouldn't even deserve to be the Campus Belle."

Seeing Xiao Fan and Chen Xueqi walk into the school hand-in-hand, many boys and girls were heartbroken.

"Wuwuwu, my heart aches so much. Young Master Xiao, why did you choose her and not me...?"

"Buddy, you're a man, why are you crying? And if you're going to cry, can you please not touch me!"

"What's going on, what's going on? Why are you all gathered here? Don't you have class?"

Wang Wei, the director of studies for the finance department, saw so many people gathered at the school gate and walked over with a swagger, head held high.

"Young Master Xiao, you've arrived. Please, if you need anything, just say the word."

The moment he saw Xiao Fan, the previously arrogant Wang Wei immediately became subservient.

He quickly bowed and scraped, walking up to Xiao Fan, looking like a sycophant.

"Little Wang, I still prefer your arrogant look from just now. Go back to that."

Xiao Fan patted Wang Wei's shoulder and said earnestly.

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Wang Wei understood, puffed out his chest, and looked down on everything.

"Yes, yes, yes, just like that. Keep it up."

After saying that, Xiao Fan took Chen Xueqi's hand and left.

"Xueqi, I have something else to do this afternoon. You can go home by yourself after school."

Xiao Fan had a good show planned for this afternoon.

"Okay, then I'll call the driver to pick me up this afternoon."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Chen Xueqi didn't press for details. No matter what Xiao Fan did, she would silently support him.

The two were not in the same class. Xiao Fan was in Class 1 of the finance department, and Chen Xueqi was in Class 3.

Upon arriving at the classroom, Xiao Fan felt two gazes fixed on him.

As soon as Xiao Fan arrived, Yue Fuyao quickly walked up to him.

"Xiao Fan, everything I said yesterday was out of anger. Can you please forgive me?"

The students who had been joking around instantly fell silent, many of them looking at Yue Fuyao with curious eyes, ready for gossip.

Only Lin Yan, in the corner of the classroom, was staring intently at Xiao Fan with murderous eyes.

Seeing Xiao Fan remain silent, Yue Fuyao pursed her lips.

"I know my words yesterday were a bit too much. I can give you a chance to pursue me. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Hearing Yue Fuyao's childish and somewhat ridiculous words, Xiao Fan sneered.

"I told you, I'm no longer interested in you. Disappear from my sight right now."

As soon as these words came out, many people looked at Xiao Fan with surprise, clearly not understanding why he would do such a thing.

A small number of students, however, showed an 'I knew it' expression.

"Xiao Fan, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

"Huh? What's going on? The Campus Belle is actually apologizing to Young Master Xiao!"

"Don't you know? Young Master Xiao got together with Goddess Chen Xueqi yesterday afternoon."

"Let her be so self-righteous. Now she's in a hurry, isn't she?"

Many people in the class had grown tired of Yue Fuyao. She claimed not to like gifts, but accepted all of them that others gave her.

Wasn't that being hypocritical?

Hearing the class's discussions, Yue Fuyao's face turned pale.

Xiao Fan was the one who changed his mind first, so why were they all blaming her?

Even if she was wrong, she had already apologized now.

Just then, a voice came from the corner, "Apologize to Fuyao immediately!"

Chapter 7: Self-Delusion Is the Most Fatal

Everyone turned their heads, and Lin Yan, who was in the corner, had already stood up.

Finally, it's my turn to show off.

Seeing everyone's attention on him, Lin Yan's mouth curved into a strange smile.

Then he strode towards Xiao Fan's seat, "I want you to apologize to Fuyao!"

"How dare you! How dare you speak to Young Master Xiao like that? Are you tired of living?"

"That's right, it's still not too late to apologize to Young Master Xiao now, otherwise, there'll be no place for you to live, neither in heaven nor on earth!"

How could Xiao Fan, as a villain, not have subordinates?

He hadn't even spoken, and his subordinates were already speaking for him.

And Xiao Fan's subordinates were not simple either. Sun Chuan's father was the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and another subordinate, Zhou Xiaohu, had a father who was the director of the Education Bureau.

"Oh, everyone's classmates, it's not good to fight and kill. I'll be generous and forgive Lin Yan."

Xiao Fan waved his hand, interrupting his two subordinates.

"As expected of Young Master Xiao, so magnanimous! Lin Yan, aren't you going to apologize to Young Master Xiao?"

"Exactly, Lin Yan, if I were you, I'd be eternally grateful to Young Master Xiao."

Lin Yan's face turned beet red, clearly infuriated.

What exactly was going on?

Lin Yan racked his brains but couldn't understand. Normally, when he rallied, shouldn't everyone fawn over him?

What he didn't know was that his protagonist's halo had already lost its effect in front of Xiao Fan.

"Xiao Fan, Fuyao has clearly apologized to you, so why won't you forgive her?"

Lin Yan looked at Xiao Fan, who had a smile playing on his lips, and his fists clenched.
