Chapter 034 Hurry Up and Repay the Debt

Apologize!

None of Deng Man’s group of girls had expected Bai Chuwei to have the nerve to confront them, let alone to arrive so quickly. Caught off guard, they were at a loss and flustered. Deng Man glanced at Bai Yinyin, who kept her head down, too afraid to meet anyone’s eyes. Deng Man burned with even greater fury—was this adopted daughter always so arrogant? She had frightened Bai Yinyin to the point she wouldn’t even raise her head; did this adopted girl think she could overturn the heavens?

With her arms crossed, Deng Man sneered coldly. “Bai, don’t make a scene without reason. What have we done? Do you have any proof? You claim we bullied you, but I say you’re just here to pick a fight!”

She was full of bluster, showing not a trace of guilt. The onlookers couldn’t tell who was in the right.

Bai Chuwei appeared utterly unruffled. Her red lips parted, but before she could speak, a graceful figure hurried over and stood protectively in front of Deng Man.

Tong Qingyan fixed her gaze on Bai Chuwei. “Bai, I’m Tong Qingyan, the class monitor of Class Eleven. About Deng Man—”

Bai Chuwei lazily interrupted, barely lifting her eyelids. “Miss Tong, stay out of matters that don’t concern you. If you have spare time, perhaps you should focus on raising the money to settle your family’s debts.”

The Tong family owed her four hundred million, and she hadn’t forgotten.

The surrounding students gasped, exchanging shocked whispers.

“The Tong family isn’t top-tier, but they’re still wealthy. How could they owe money?”

“Is it true? My dad’s company works with them. Maybe we should reconsider.”

“The Tong family is in debt? That’s big news—I have to tell my brother!”

At Henghua No. 1 High School, nearly every student came from a well-off family, most had companies of their own. If the Tongs owed money, that would send ripples through high society.

Tong Qingyan’s cheeks flushed crimson with anger, her fists clenched. “Bai, why are you spreading rumors about me? When has my family ever owed money?”

Bai Chuwei smiled sweetly and retorted, “Miss Tong, what do you think?”

Tong Qingyan froze. Her family in debt… four hundred million? What kind of debt was that? That Bai Chu had no right to take her family’s assets!

The family matriarch was making it clear—she wouldn’t leave until this was resolved.

No one expected Bai Chuwei to be not only beautiful but also so relentlessly strong.

Deng Man, under Bai Chuwei’s faintly smiling gaze, began to sweat on her brow. She exchanged a look with the other girls, then gritted her teeth. “Where’s your evidence? What did we do to you?”

“You locked me in the restroom,” Bai Chuwei replied.

Deng Man burst out laughing. “And how do you know it was us? Bai, can you see through walls? Did you see us outside the restroom door?”

The other girls were equally uneasy. They hadn’t given their names, and Bai Chuwei had never met them before. How had she identified them and found them so quickly?

Tong Qingyan, regaining her composure, tried to help: “Bai, Deng Man is right. If you were locked in the restroom, how could you have seen their faces? Please don’t—”

Leaning against a desk, Bai Chuwei suddenly raised her hand and snapped her fingers, abruptly cutting off Tong Qingyan’s words.

With that crisp snap, Deng Man lost all control over herself. Her mouth gushed words as if there were no filter:

“Bai Chuwei, just because she’s pretty, tries to seduce Duan Xingye and Xu Xingchen—so I gave her a little lesson!”

“Let her get a good whiff of the restroom stench.”

The girls stared in utter shock as their confessions spilled out uncontrollably. Their hands flew to their mouths instinctively, but it was no use—their secrets tumbled out for all to hear.

It was as if they’d seen a ghost.

Bai Chuwei stroked her chin, watching the stunned Tong Qingyan with interest. “Well, Class Monitor Tong, did you hear that? Tell me, do you think they owe me an apology?”
