You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

"Su Qinghe... I'm sorry, I posted that thread on the forum, and I asked my roommate to create those fake accounts to stir up trouble..."

"Speak louder," Jiang Che added casually from the side. "Weren't you quite loud when you were arguing with people earlier?"

Some people in the crowd couldn't help but laugh.

Ding Siyu's face was already flushed red. She took a breath and raised her voice a little: "I'm sorry! The forum posts were deliberately meant to smear you, and those alternate accounts were created with my roommate's help. My coming to ask you for the cat today was also pre-arranged!"

"I... I just want to get that 100,000 yuan from Sister Wang, and incidentally, ride the wave of her popularity to gain more followers..."

She paused for a moment, because a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

After the broadcast ends, Sister Wang will definitely come after her for failing to complete the task, and might even demand the 30,000 yuan back.

It's one thing if they just want money, but what if they turn around and cause her trouble?

What kind of kind person can casually pull out 100,000 yuan to cause trouble?

The more she thought about it, the colder her back became.

Jiang Che had no idea what was going through her mind, but seeing her expression growing increasingly stiff, he interrupted, "Alright, let's leave the apology here for now. What's next?"

"Next... what's next..." Ding Siyu looked up at him, her eyes a little blank.

"Of course, you should post a clarification and apology on the forum, clearly explaining the ins and outs of the matter, and don't allow the posts to be deleted."

Jiang Che stared at her with a smile, "My roommate will be keeping an eye on you, so if you dare to delete it..."

"No, no, I won't delete it! Absolutely not!"

Ding Siyu quickly waved her hand, even if Jiang Che hadn't mentioned it, she definitely wouldn't have dared to delete it.

After what happened today, if she still doesn't understand the ruthless methods of this young master in front of her, then there's no need for her to continue working at Peking University.

Although she didn't plan to delete the post, Ding Siyu still wanted to keep bothering Jiang Che about the 30,000 yuan issue.

The main concern was that Sister Wang would ask her for money, and as a relatively new online influencer, she wouldn't have that much money.

She bit her lip and said softly, "Um, Jiang Che, it's about that 30,000 yuan, you see..."

"I said I would donate to the school's stray cat and dog rescue organization."

Jiang Che gestured with his chin toward her phone, "Aren't you still live-streaming? Transfer the money now in front of everyone."

"Find out who to transfer it to and to whom yourself."

Seeing this, Ding Siyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and start operating on the screen.

She glanced at the man in front of her, then at Su Qinghe, who had been standing quietly beside her.

In fact, she knew in her heart that Jiang Che's way of handling things had already left her a lot of room for maneuver.

They only made her apologize, clarify, and donate money; at least they didn't humiliate her to death in public.

Although 30,000 yuan hurt her, it was indeed cheap compared to being disciplined by the school or being held legally responsible by Su Qinghe.

She had the contact information for a school-run stray cat and dog rescue organization, and they quickly sent her a QR code for payment. She entered the amount and confirmed the transfer.

A notification popped up on my phone saying "Transfer successful".

Seeing that Ding Siyu kept her word, the audience felt that the matter was pretty much over, since Ding Siyu at least had a decent attitude in admitting her mistake.

Although there are still a few occasional comments criticizing her, there are far fewer than before.

"Alright, I hope Ding won't do such stupid things again in the future. After all, you might not meet someone as easy to talk to as me again."

After casually uttering those words, Jiang Che reached out and took Su Qinghe's wrist, then turned and walked out of the crowd.

Su Qinghe was led by him, and after taking a few steps, she turned back to look at Ding Siyu.

Ding Siyu was still standing there, staring blankly at her phone screen, as if she couldn't quite believe that her performance today had ended like this.

The popularity of the live stream has also started to decline, and the audience's attention comes and goes as quickly as the tide.

The students who had been watching also dispersed.

As they passed through the crowd, everyone automatically made way for Jiang Che and Su Qinghe, and all eyes were on the couple.

There are hardly any people watching Ding Siyu anymore.

Without any exciting plot twists, the onlookers weren't going to waste any more time on her.

She stood on the cement ground at the entrance of the teaching building, her hands drooping and her shoulders hunched, like a piece of clothing that had been hung on a clothesline and forgotten to be taken down.

After walking a distance, Su Qinghe looked down at her hand, which wasn't being held by Jiang Che, and saw it was still trembling slightly uncontrollably.

It's not out of fear. People who get angry often know that the intense emotions after getting angry don't dissipate immediately, leaving some residual reactions in the body.

Su Qinghe is in this state right now; the adrenaline and all that stuff haven't completely dissipated even after it's all over.

She clenched her fists and took a few deep breaths, feeling slightly better, but her fingertips were still a little numb.

Jiang Che noticed her unusual behavior. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Su Qinghe shook her head. She didn't want A-Che to worry about such a small matter, so she changed the subject and said, "I'm a little hungry. It seems like a new noodle shop has opened outside the school. I saw a lot of people online saying that it tastes good."

"Okay, let's eat at this restaurant then. It'll be crowded in the cafeteria at this time, so we won't have to squeeze together."

The two walked towards the north gate. Some students recognized them and glanced at them a few more times.

But judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to want to be disturbed, so they only glanced at them a few times and no one dared to approach them casually.

The street outside the school gate was bustling with noise, and the two people's slightly depressed mood was immediately dispelled by the noise.

After exiting the door and turning right, Jiang Che saw the newly opened noodle shop that Su Qinghe had mentioned after walking only a few steps.

A banner announcing the grand opening was hanging at the entrance. Inside the noodle shop, there were seven or eight tables, and menus were posted on the walls.

After they sat down, Jiang Che looked up at the menu on the wall and asked Su Qinghe, "What would you like to eat? Beef noodles or something else?"

But after he finished speaking, he did not receive a reply from Su Qinghe.

Jiang Che turned his head in confusion to look at her, and saw Su Qinghe sitting in her seat, staring blankly into space.

He reached out and gently tapped her head. "Still thinking about what happened earlier?"

Su Qinghe let out a soft "ouch," rubbing her head where Jiang Che had hit her, and then nodded obediently.

She was indeed thinking about what had just happened, but not about Ding Siyu. Instead, she was wondering who this woman called Sister Wang was and why she was targeting her.

She knew she couldn't understand these things, but her mind just wouldn't stop racing.

"Hey, food is the most important thing. Let's think about it slowly after we finish eating. What's the rush?"

Jiang Che reached out and pinched Su Qinghe's cheeks with both hands, then gently turned her head towards the menu and asked her again, "What do you want to eat? If you don't tell me, I'll order for you."

Su Qinghe was forced to pout and mumble a reply: "Um... a small bowl of beef noodles..."

"Would you like an egg?"

"Let's add one."
