Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

As for Zhang Miao, she was almost forcing herself to think of a solution to the current situation.

Basically, her actions were reported immediately, there was definitely a mole in the student council within the news department, and this young master of the Su family actually went to such lengths to hold her accountable for Su Zixiao's sake.

That's ridiculous. Normally, how could a rich kid like this make such a fuss over such a trivial matter?

Yu Zhe read the article carefully, and his expression was not good.

Because this article is completely fabricated, portraying Zixiao as utterly worthless, using the most offensive and hurtful language imaginable.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, preventing her from posting it.

Even if it were posted, with the Su family's PR power, it wouldn't have much impact on Zixiao. But if Zixiao saw it, how disappointed she would be with the school.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhe simply tore the article into pieces, stood up, and threw the scraps of paper into the wastebasket not far away.

Then he circled back and stood in front of Zhang Miao, clearly displeased: "Zhang Miao, right? If I remember correctly, you've admitted that you wrote that article. So, since you wrote it, you should know what the consequences will be, right?"

The pressure emanating from Su Yuzhe was no less than that from Su Yuche.

This made Zhang Miao break out in a cold sweat.

Now she feels her legs are weak and she really can't stand up.

But... if we don't say anything here, it's all over.

She glared fiercely at Su Zixiao, who was standing at the door.

Suddenly, I felt I should take a gamble.

That's right, we don't gamble here, but taking a gamble might break the deadlock.

She lowered her voice as much as possible and said, "Young Master Su... please don't let that vixen Su Zixiao be bewitched. I'm actually thinking of you. Like I wrote in my article... you were just confused for a moment and fell for her tricks..."

Then Zhang Miao lowered her voice again: "If you need women... I can find them, as many as you want, and they'll all be very beautiful. So it's best to get rid of those vixens as soon as possible!"

She felt that if she said this, Su Yuzhe might let her off the hook.

But to her surprise, Yu Zhe, whose face was already pale, became even more gloomy after hearing her words.

28. Punishment

What happened next left everyone there speechless.

After Zhang Miao whispered something to Young Master Su, Young Master Su took a step back, raised his arm high, and slapped Zhang Miao across the face without hesitation.

The crisp sound echoed throughout the activity room and even into the hallway outside.

Zhang Miao felt a burning pain on her face, followed by a dizzying sensation. When she came to her senses, she glared fiercely at the person who slapped her, only to see the unfathomable darkness in Su Yuzhe's eyes.

Like icicles, like a raging wind.

Accompanied by Yu Zhe's emotionless words: "You scoundrel, who gave you the courage to call Zi Xiao 'that kind of vixen'? Believe me or not, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Zhang Miao subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth. It was just a sentence, but she felt like the person in front of her could really tear her mouth apart.

But having never been hit before, she was still filled with rage, pointing a finger at Su Yuzhe: "You! How dare you...you...uh..."

He didn't finish his sentence, nor did he dare to.

Because two sharp blades were already pressed against the sides of her neck.

They were just a hair's breadth away from each other; one of the weapons had already scratched her neck, drawing out tiny beads of blood.

She dared not move at all, remaining frozen in place, looking at Su Yuzhe with pleading eyes.

The people holding the blades on both sides are Lu Ling and Lu Yao.

These two divine beasts had long since made themselves invisible, following Yu Che and lurking in the vicinity.

.

They could have remained on standby until the matter was over.

But this ignorant maggot actually pointed his finger at Young Master Yu Zhe just now; he deserves to be chopped off.

Zixiao and Xiaolizhi watched from the doorway. Xiaolizhi thought that Yuzhe, who gave off a different vibe, was inexplicably handsome, but Zixiao was different; she was more worried.

What's there to worry about? It goes without saying, getting angry is bad for your health!

However, since Yu Zhe's matter was not yet resolved, she could not go up and stop him.

Moreover, Zhang Miao should indeed be punished.

The seemingly ordinary girl, Lu Yao, held the small blade of her knife to the table and looked up at Yu Zhe for instructions: "Should I... cut?"

These words terrified Zhang Miao to death: "No! Don't cut me! No! I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"

Yu Zhe's question was simple: "You know you're wrong? Oh, do you know what you did wrong?"

"I know, I know!" Zhang Miao felt the cold blade against her neck, her expression panicked. "I shouldn't have made those comments about Young Master Su's girlfriend! I was out of my mind! I was just talking nonsense!"

If the knife hadn't been there, she would have slapped herself: "I'm a piece of trash! I don't know what's good for me! Young Master Su, please let me go this time, okay? I promise! I promise I won't say anything out of line again!"

Completely disregarding her reputation in front of the club members, Zhang Miao is now speaking in the most humble and subservient way possible.

The other members couldn't help but laugh. This deputy minister used to be so arrogant and domineering in the department, always putting on an aggressive act with everyone. But now, he was acting like a dog.

Zhang Miao said this, but she didn't really think so. She just wanted to get through this hurdle first. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't afford to offend the person in front of her, she would have stood up and started cursing long ago.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that this wasn't just a matter of not being able to afford to offend someone.

After listening to her words, Yu Zhe calmly said, "I see. So you know that your mistake was writing rumors about Zi Xiao. Very good. Now, listen carefully to the punishment for this. The first punishment is expulsion from school."

"what?"

Zhang Miao felt a sense of disorientation. She had paid a lot of money to have someone cheat her way into Fenghai No. 1 High School. After graduation, her future prospects were very bright, at least in Fenghai City. Now that she was being expelled, wasn't she doomed?

The others present knew that once Su Yuzhe had said those words, the school leaders would immediately carry them out.

Everyone knows that Fenghai No.1 Middle School was originally invested in by the Su family; to be more precise, it was Su Yuzhe who invested in it back then.

The school's de facto board of directors has spoken; is there any room for argument?

Zhang Miao knew this too, and hurriedly shouted, "Young Master Su! You can't do this! That article wasn't published, and it didn't have any impact on Su Zixiao. You can't just fire me like this!"

"Don't talk," Lu Ling warned her.

She quickly shut up; saving her life was the priority.

Maybe we should just accept our fate...

But Yu Zhe's next words made her even more uneasy: "This is the first punishment I mentioned. There's a second one. Send him to Africa for a few years. The Su family has a cattle-raising business there. You can do odd jobs and temper your character. Oh, by the way, you won't be coming back until the required number of years has passed."

"!"

These words instantly snapped Zhang Miao out of her reverie. She had no idea she would be punished like this today. All she did was offend Su Zixiao? Just who was she? How could the eldest son of the Su family protect her to such an extent?

Before her thoughts could return to normal, Yu Zhe told her the answer: "I'll tell you, and also the members of the news department here."

Yu Zhe turned his head and declared a fact: "Su Zixiao and I are not a couple. She is my sister. Anyone who dares to make a move on her will suffer a worse fate than Zhang Miao."

The explosive news was told so calmly and without any fanfare.

The news department members, who were usually very keen on the news, were all stunned, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

Xia Wenhan was even more stunned; she was completely dumbfounded.

What has she done in the past?! Provoking Su Zixiao? Provoking Lord Yu Zhe's sister? Isn't that tantamount to provoking Lord Yu Zhe himself?! Does she have a death wish?!

However, the person who reacted the most to this matter was probably Zixiao herself.

She hadn't figured out why her brother wanted to reveal the truth until Yu Che turned around, walked to her side, and whispered, "Now you understand, right? Your brother's protectiveness of you this time... Oh dear, you should be secretly happy about it."

Protect?

After carefully considering the cause and effect, the clever Zixiao quickly figured it out!

The reason for this incident is simply that some people did not know her identity, thought she had no power, and out of jealousy, plotted to harm her in secret.

Zhang Miao was the first, but who knows, in such a large campus, there might be others who think the same way.

But if Yu Zhe reveals that Zi Xiao is his sister, then from now on, who will dare to say anything bad about Zi Xiao?

Of course, for Yu Zhe, making things clear like this would mean losing his "shield," but compared to protecting Zi Xiao, all of that is insignificant.

Having figured this out, Zixiao felt a warmth in her heart; it was truly wonderful.

Finally regaining her senses, Zhang Miao hurriedly shouted at Yu Zhe, "Su Yu Zhe! You! Uh..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Ling struck her neck hard with the back of her knife, knocking her unconscious.

"Shut up already, or you'll be in Africa when you wake up again."

After resolving things here, Yu Zhe stood up and walked over to Xia Wenhan: "As for you..."

"No! Lord Yu Zhe!" Xia Wenhan was almost in tears. "I don't want to be expelled! I don't want to go to Africa to raise cattle! I studied so hard, I really put in so much effort, I don't want this..."

"Who said they were going to expel you from school?" Yu Zhe looked at Xia, who was almost crying on her own.

Wenhan looked completely bewildered.

"Huh?"

Yu Zhe thought for a moment, looked around at the other members in the room, and said, "You and your club members only reported some things about me without my consent, which is different from Zhang Miao. Moreover, I heard that you all had a bottom line when you had the meeting just now. How about this, club activities are suspended for a week, so you can reflect and make corrections on your own, okay?"

Xia Wenhan didn't react for a moment until her fellow club members across from her frantically reminded her. She then quickly nodded gratefully, "Ah... okay! Thank you, Master Yu Zhe! We will definitely live up to your expectations, rectify the situation properly, and never publish inappropriate reports again!"

"Ah That's good."

But what is the title of Lord Yu Zhe?

Little did they know, Little Lychee's eyes had already begun to sparkle.

Her brother Yu Zhe is so handsome! He's decisive, never gets blinded by anger, and is fair in rewarding and punishing.

I really love Little Lychee.

29. Realism (Vote needed at the end of the month!)

With this arrangement, the incident can be considered to have come to an end.

In Yu Zhe's opinion, this punishment was not excessive at all. Although Zhang Miao's actions had not yet been implemented and even if they had, they would not have caused any impact, that was for Zi Xiao's sake.

Imagine if she hadn't targeted Zixiao, but some ordinary girl who really had no way to fight back; the resulting public opinion would have been devastating, making it impossible for that person to ever hold their head up in school again.

Therefore, it is absolutely the right choice to decisively expel and exile such a person to prevent them from continuing to harm others.

Oh, by the way.
