The news spread around the school quickly. Both girls and boys were gathered in groups in the corridors discussing this matter with phones in their hands. All eyes turned to Lu Guixin the moment she stepped out of the classroom. There were looks of all sorts, from disgust, nonchalance, and sneering to schadenfreude.
Lu Guixin hadn't walked far when her phone rang inside her pocket. It was a call from the capital. She answered the phone and spoke in an aggressive tone, which was unlike her usual gentle voice. "Just watch. I'll settle it on my own, Dad."
Lu Chengzhou lazily reminded her, "Do a good job. Don't embarrass your mother."
As soon as Lu Guixin ended the call, she received another call. This time, it was from Tan Ying.
Tan Ying sounded relaxed as he said, "I've already clarified on Weibo that it was my great-grandfather's birthday that day. I've also contacted a few media outlets, so this matter will soon die down."
