Hearing that Shu Cheng wanted to call the police, the counselor quickly stopped her.

“There's no need to call the police, Shu Cheng. Why do you have to make such a big deal out of it? If the police come, you'll lose face.”

Shu Cheng sneered.

It was one thing for the counselor to be inactive on weekdays, but she was also a coward. Whenever a student had a problem, she would always delay it if she could.

The reason she didn't want Shu Cheng to call the police was probably because she was worried that if things got out of hand, the school would blame her for not handling things properly.

“If I don't call the police, are you going to let them pin this on me?”

With that, Shu Cheng reached out to grab the phone.

Cao De'an naturally didn't want to give it to her and pushed her away with a ferocious look.

The couple knew better than anyone that the money definitely wasn't stolen from their home.

After all, they had never had that much money in their house.

Ye did send some money for Shu Cheng's child support every month, but it wasn't much. It was already hard enough to support their own family.

But even knowing this, the couple still wanted to shift the blame onto Shu Cheng.

Even if the money wasn't stolen from their home, it must have come from an unknown source!

How could a young girl in her teens or twenties have so much money?

In the pushing and shoving, Shu Cheng stumbled back several steps, her chest filled with anger and frustration.

Just then, the office door behind her opened, and the dean's respectful voice came through—

“Young Master Rong, please wait a moment, I'll go get the documents for you to look at…”

Seeing the absurd scene in the room, the smile on the dean's face froze, and the few sparse hairs above his balding head trembled violently.

“What's going on here!”

The counselor, seeing the situation, quickly and flusteredly came over: “Dean, why are you here? I'm just dealing with some personal matters of the students…”

“Deal with it later, first go and get me all the information on the impoverished students in our college!”

The counselor nodded repeatedly, his gaze curiously falling on the man behind the dean.

The man looked to be in his early twenties, wearing a well-tailored dark suit. His slender figure leaned casually against the doorframe, his expression relaxed, exuding a noble and unrestrained aura.

His gaze fell upon Shu Cheng.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

“It's you.”

Rong Yin suddenly spoke, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

It took Shu Cheng a while to come back to her senses.

“Are you talking to me?”

“Yes.”

“Do we... know each other?”

Rong Yin chuckled softly, his eyes filled with an uncertain, misty aura.

“I almost bumped into you just now, are you hurt?”

As soon as he said this, Rong Yin's gaze fell on Shu Cheng's injured calf, the smile in his eyes fading slightly.

“Looks like you are hurt.”

Only then did Shu Cheng realize that the handsome, somewhat devilish man in front of her was the owner of that Cullinan.

She quickly said, “Oh no, this injury…”

Before she could finish, Cao De'an impatiently interrupted, “Stop talking nonsense, quickly spit out the money you stole.”

He then moved closer to the dean, “You're the leader, right? Look at this, this is the student you've taught. She stole money from her family to spend on a man, five or six thousand dollars!”

The dean was sweating profusely, his forehead glistening with cold sweat.

He quickly glanced at Rong Shao beside him, fearing he might get angry.

The principal had mentioned that Rong Shao was an alumnus who had come to donate a building to the school and was planning to sponsor all the impoverished students.

He couldn't let anyone ruin such an honor.

“Ahem, this parent, can we handle this matter later? I have other things to attend to…”

“No! How can you be a dean like this? Hurry up and resolve this issue.”

Rong Yin raised an eyebrow, observing Shu Cheng with a leisurely gaze.

He had a general idea of what was going on, but stealing money? This little girl didn't seem like that kind of person.

“Enough, I've said it, if you want to deal with it, call the police! I didn't steal your money.”

“Then explain clearly, where did your money come from?”

“Exactly, if you can't explain it, it means the money is of dubious origin.”

Shu Cheng bit her lip.

Just as she was hesitating, she heard the man beside her speak leisurely, “I gave it to her, is there a problem?”

Shu Cheng looked at the man in surprise.

“You? Who are you? What's it to you?”

Cao Shi glanced at Rong Yin with a huff, her eyes almost rolling to the sky.

The principal was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

“How can you talk to Young Master Rong like that? Quickly, quickly apologize to Young Master Rong.”

Cao Shi rolled her eyes again, not intending to pay any attention.

The principal turned back in panic, “I’m really sorry, Young Master Rong. This, this is just some student’s parent from who-knows-where, they’re really too rude. How about we go to my office…”

“Isn’t this matter not resolved yet?”

Rong Yin didn't seem angry, but said slowly, “I accidentally bumped into this classmate when I entered the school and paid some money. Why, Principal Cui, is this student’s parent planning to check my money too?”

“Oh no, no, no, of course not.”

The principal's face turned even paler with fright. The counselor beside him, although unaware of the reason for the principal's panic, still wisely echoed.

“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it seems this is just a misunderstanding.”

Cao De'an and his wife widened their eyes.

A misunderstanding!? They made such a big fuss and it was just a misunderstanding!?

“Good, you guys, you’re colluding together to make fools of us, right?”

“I’m going to post your true colors online right now.”

“And you, where did you come from, you pretty boy, meddling in our family affairs? Do you know who we are!”

Gigolo.

When the dean heard Cao's wife utter those words, he almost fainted on the spot.

He was so angry that he stuttered, pointing at the counselor and yelling, "You idiot! Quickly call security and get these two troublemakers out of here!"

The counselor had never seen the dean so furious, and his hand trembled uncontrollably as he picked up the phone.

Cao De'an and his wife were still cursing, and soon the security guards came, covered their mouths, and dragged them out.

"Young Master Rong, I'm so sorry you had to witness this. I never expected such a thing to happen..."

"It's nothing."

Rong Yin waved his hand.

"So, about the funding..."

"I have other matters to attend to today, I'll pass on it for now."

After Rong Yin finished speaking, he called out to Shu Cheng, who was about to leave.

"Is there something you need?"

"I'll take you to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Shu Cheng, the dean, and the counselor were all stunned.

So, when Young Master Rong said he had something to do, he meant taking this student to the hospital?!

Shu Cheng choked a bit, "Why?"

Rong Yin pointed to the injury on her leg.

"Weren't you hurt just now?"
