After speaking, An Xiran turned and left.

Lu Lehua stared in disbelief as An Xiran’s cold figure left, first feeling hurt, then anger boiling up within her. He was her son, and he treated her like this! Lu Lehua angrily shouted, “An Xiran, stop right there!”

Unfortunately, An Xiran seemed as though he hadn’t heard her shouts at all. He continued walking without a pause, quickly reaching the door and slamming it shut behind him.

“An Xiran!”

This time, Lu Lehua was truly furious. Her own child dared to defy her like this!

What did he take her for?

“Mom, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. Fourth Brother must be angry with me, which is why he spoke to you that way…”

An Muyao pitifully tugged at Lu Lehua’s sleeve, tears rolling down like raindrops.

She had used the method of ‘slitting her wrists and attempting suicide’ to get admitted to the hospital yesterday, and then was arranged to this room. Throughout the night, she had tried to win Lu Lehua over, finally managing to regain her favor. She absolutely couldn’t let An Xiran’s actions ruin it all!

A burning hatred flared in An Muyao’s heart, spreading rapidly.

Why was it that even though she had been An Xiran’s sister for eighteen years, she couldn’t compare to Nan Yan who had only returned two years ago?

Anyone who went against her was her enemy, and anyone who stood by Nan Yan’s side was also her enemy!

Thinking this, a cruel glint flickered in An Muyao’s eyes.

Since he had chosen the wrong side, don’t blame her for disregarding their eighteen-year sibling relationship…

Because she was looking down, Lu Lehua didn’t see the malice in her eyes. Instead, she comforted her with affection, “Don’t overthink, Yao Yao. This isn’t your fault. Nan Yan is just petty and calculative. Don’t pay any attention to what your Fourth Brother said to her.”

“You don’t have to worry about whether Dad and I will abandon you in the future. So, try to build a good relationship with Nan Yan and avoid targeting her, okay?”

“Your reputation is far more important than hers. Don’t ruin your reputation for her sake!”

“In this age of information, things change rapidly. After a few days when the heat dies down, you can go abroad for further studies—several months or half a year. Once the storm has passed, you can think of ways to change everyone’s perception of you.”

“You’re aiming to be a musician, so take care of your reputation. Alright?”

Lu Lehua had invested almost all her efforts in nurturing An Muyao into a talented individual.

She couldn’t accept letting her be thrown away just like that, so after thinking it over with An Yaoqing for a long time, they came up with this plan.

An Muyao knew that Lu Lehua and An Yaoqing were currently on her side due to her talent and skills. But she didn’t dare tell them that just yesterday, after her posts were exposed, her teacher Huai Youyi had called her and said she didn’t need a scheming student.

She wasn’t Huai Youyi’s student anymore, so she couldn’t continue learning the violin with her.

The blow she suffered yesterday wasn’t limited to just this.

Her studio had been reported and given bad reviews by those busybody internet users, leading to its shutdown.

Her personal account had become a platform for those people to vent their anger, filled with unbearable comments.

Almost all the fans she had accumulated over the years had turned their backs on her, leaving her with almost no true fans… In just one night, she had lost almost everything!

And all of this was thanks to Nan Yan!

An Muyao clenched her teeth in secret, a burning fire raging in her heart.

She swore she would exact revenge sooner or later!

Suppressing her resentment and hatred, An Muyao put on a docile appearance and softly said, “I’ll follow your arrangements.”

Lifting her head, she spoke with determination, “Mom, I won’t let you and Dad down again!”

Lu Lehua nodded and patted her on the back, “Mom knows, you’re a good child! Keep up the good work!”

“Okay!”

After school that afternoon, Nan Yan was called to the office by the headmaster.

“Nan Yan, come and sit down.”

Nan Yan entered the office and was warmly invited by the headmaster. “Is there something you need, Headmaster?” Nan Yan sat across from the headmaster and raised an eyebrow slightly.

The headmaster put on a stern expression and pretended to be serious, “I can’t talk to you unless there’s something going on?”

“Sure, of course.” Nan Yan leaned back in her chair with a hint of nonchalance, lightly curling her lips. “I can definitely do that. The cafeteria is also crowded right now during lunchtime, so I’ll wait until it’s less crowded before going.”

“From now on, don’t go to the cafeteria for lunch.” The headmaster took several lunch boxes out from under his desk, opened them in front of Nan Yan, revealing four well-balanced dishes, along with rice and soup.

Nan Yan raised an eyebrow, “What’s this…”

The headmaster cleared his throat, trying to make his words sound genuine, “My family makes too much food, and I can’t finish it alone. In the future, just come to the office and have lunch with me.’

He did this to take care of Nan Yan. When he saw those exposé posts, he felt a lot of distress for Nan Yan. He never took lunch from home before, always eating in the cafeteria. This new approach was entirely due to his concern for

Nan Yan.

However, he felt that Nan Yan, being as intelligent as she was, must have guessed his intention.

But would she agree?

“Then, thank you for your kind offer, Headmaster.”

Nan Yan propped her elbow on the table and looked at him with a touch of warmth in her eyes.

Although she wasn’t emotionally sensitive, she would still respond with kindness to those who treated her well. The headmaster’s care wasn’t something she needed, but she didn’t want to dismiss his good intentions.

The headmaster let out a sigh of relief and then smiled, “Alright then, it’s settled. From now on, when school’s out for lunch, come to the office and find me.”

“Okay.” Nan Yan readily agreed.

In the afternoon, when school was about to end, Nan Yan returned to the classroom from the computer lab, preparing to pack up and leave.

However, she found a bouquet of flowers on her desk.

All the students in the class were present, and even the usually confrontational Lu Rongrong hadn’t left.

The entire class stared at her a bit nervously.

A hint of curiosity flashed through Nan Yan’s eyes, and then she walked towards her desk.

As she passed by Lu Rongrong, the latter suddenly stood up, nervously clenching her fists and lowering her head apologetically, “Nan Yan, I’m sorry. It was because I was deceived by An Muyao that I always went against you and caused you trouble. I was wrong. Please forgive me!”

Lu Rongrong wasn’t someone who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong.

The reason she treated Nan Yan that way was partly due to the original host’s cowardice and servility, which made her look down on her, and partly due to An Muyao’s influence.

However, now that she knew the truth, she felt nothing but disgust and loathing for An Muyao. She would never be friends with her again.

“Nan Yan, I hope you can give me a chance to make amends….”
