If it weren’t for Gu Zhihan who also happened to give her an even better necklace, she still wouldn’t know how to get out of the situation.
"Exactly, compared to the cost of a truth verification, it’s nothing. The most important thing is to find the real thief!" The homeroom teacher said sternly, speaking up for Luo Mengmeng.
Soon, the authentication results came out.
There were only Belle’s fingerprints on it.
The homeroom teacher, thinking of how she had been manipulated earlier, felt a surge of anger and wanted to strangle Belle. She grabbed Belle by the collar and roared, "You’re coming to the dean’s office with me now!"
"Teacher... I, I was just confused. I don’t want to go to the dean’s office, I..." Belle was completely dumbfounded, crying and clinging to the desk, refusing to go with her.
"Quit your nonsense! Move!" The homeroom teacher was furious and didn’t listen to her explanation, dragging her straight to the dean’s office.
Needless to say, Belle was also severely reprimanded.
Originally, she wanted to use this incident to have Luo Mengmeng reprimanded and then find a way to get her reprimanded again. That way, with two reprimands, she would be expelled from school.
But she never expected to end up suffering the consequences herself...
Meanwhile, Luo Mengmeng was staring at the pink diamond bracelet in her hand, swallowed, and poked Gu Zhihan to confirm, "That... is this bracelet really worth a million?"
She initially thought it was just from some shop, worth three to five hundred dollars.
"Mm!" Gu Zhihan nodded under her incredulous gaze.
"Oh my gosh!" Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but scream out loud, then quickly took off the bracelet, "I can’t wear this."
Wearing a million dollars on her wrist, she was afraid she might get robbed one day.
"Do not take it off." Gu Zhihan immediately stopped her actions, grabbing her delicate wrist.
"But it’s too valuable..." Luo Mengmeng said timidly, still shocked, "I’m afraid of being robbed while going to and from school."
"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Gu Zhihan replied, raising an eyebrow.
They spent every day stuck together, yet she still worried about such a foolish issue.
Since he said so, Luo Mengmeng had to endure the envious, jealous, and hateful looks from others and kept the bracelet on, but she remained curious, "Then where did you get the money?"
"Earned it myself." Gu Zhihan said indifferently.
"Ah? How did you earn it?" Luo Mengmeng asked again, surprised.
She had thought he had gotten the money from his parents.
Gu Zhihan answered, "Just bought a couple of stocks and earned it."
"..." Luo Mengmeng was dumbstruck.
Was he a stock market genius, just buying a couple of stocks and earning a million?
Just then, Belle came back from outside.
At the same time, she was publicly reprimanded by the whole school and noted for misconduct.
Her eyes red from crying, she cast a venomous glare at Luo Mengmeng as she walked in, as if Luo Mengmeng was solely responsible for her plight.
Luo Mengmeng was speechless at once.
But being laid-back as usual, she soon put the matter out of her mind.
Unable to endure the strange looks and badmouthing from her peers, Belle left the school with a crestfallen look and went back to her country.
She knew she no longer had any image left in front of Gu Zhihan, staying here would be of no help.
It was better to let go early...
