Because Sheng Ning’an refused to withdraw the case, Shi Yue was detained for 5 days before being released, but nonetheless, she was left with a criminal record, and the school also decided to expel her.
After making a fuss with the counselor and school for two days to no avail, Father Shi and Shi Mu wanted to confront Sheng Ning’an, but Sheng Ning’an directly called the police to report harassment, leaving Father Shi and Shi Mu to forlornly take Shi Yue away.
Before leaving, Father Shi harshly slapped Shi Yue in front of everyone and said, "You dead girl, I supported you through all these years of school for nothing. If I had known, I might as well have made you go out to work from the start. Now that you’ve been expelled, don’t come back; I can’t bear this shame." Finishing his words, he actually left the mother and daughter behind, walking off by himself.
Shi Mu, however, hugged Shi Yue, crying incessantly, "Why are you such a troublemaker? You refuse to study properly and only cause trouble. What will you do in the future?"
Shi Yue remained cold all the while, not even glancing at Father Shi and Shi Mu. Hearing Shi Mu’s crying, she impatiently interrupted, "Enough, stop crying! Expelled is expelled; at worst, I’ll take the exam again. If this crappy school doesn’t want me, there are plenty of other schools to choose from." It wasn’t like it was Jing University or anything, as if she cared that much.
"You make it sound simple; won’t studying another year cost money? And each additional year spent in school is one less year earning money outside. The money wasted in and out," Shi Mu thought about it and felt heartbroken, involuntarily raising her hand to hit Shi Yue twice.
Shi Yue, with a dark face, said, "Money, money, all you two care about is money. None of you genuinely care about me." With that, she pushed her mother away and strode off.
Shi Mu froze for a moment, then immediately chased after, "You dead girl, you make mistakes and don’t allow anyone to talk about it. If you behaved well in school, there wouldn’t be so much trouble..."
The crowd watched the dramatic scene unfold, sighing in exasperation.
Although Shi Yue made mistakes, her parents’ behavior was quite suffocating as well.
After Shi Yue was expelled and causing trouble proved futile, she swiftly packed her things and moved out of the dormitory.
The next news about her came many years later; it was said she’d changed her name, returned to repeat her final year of high school, but unfortunately didn’t perform well on college entrance exams, only getting into an average second-tier university.
Even with a name change, her record remained, making civil service exams and official positions out of reach.
Fortunately, she was quite attractive, and after graduation, she got a job at a private company where she got involved with her male boss. It was said the man was well-off, though much older than her, with a stepson not much younger than her.
It was easy to imagine how "exciting" her life was.
No longer having to face erratic roommates or worry about being drugged by them, both Tian Yu and Xue Xian sighed in relief, yet felt a bit melancholic.
Out of the four in the dorm room, only the two of them remained now.

Sheng Ning’an didn’t plan to move back into the dormitory.
Because Xu Weiran’s new house was almost fully renovated.
The new house used all environmentally friendly materials, and once complete, it would take just a month of ventilation before they could move in.
At the beginning, the new house’s design was decided by her and Xu Weiran together, with her following the entire renovation process, making it fit her ideal to the letter.
Looking at the nearly finished renovation, Sheng Ning’an couldn’t be more satisfied.
It was far more comfortable than staying in the dormitory.
