My Villainous Persona Collapses as My Family Reads My Mind - Chapter 24

The moment Zhou Kai saw the message, he immediately knew that Meng Zhiyi had gone to provoke Song Wei again.

Thinking about how he was unable to protect her in his current state, Zhou Kai felt a wave of guilt and hurriedly called her.

The ringtone rang for quite a while before Song Wei finally picked up on the other end.

“Weiwei, how are you?” Zhou Kai asked with concern as soon as the call connected.

“Zhou Kai, I’m so upset,” Song Wei’s voice was tinged with sobs, sounding extremely aggrieved.

Hearing her voice, Zhou Kai’s heart ached even more.

“Was it Meng Zhiyi bullying you again?” he asked through gritted teeth.

Song Wei didn’t answer, but the sound of her sobbing gradually came through the phone. Even without words, Zhou Kai understood what she meant.

“Weiwei, don’t cry. Once I’m discharged, I’ll go settle the score with her right away!”

“Weiwei, did you hear me? Don’t cry. When you cry, my heart aches.”

Zhou Kai coaxed her gently.

“Why… why are you in the hospital?” Song Wei asked with feigned concern, “Did something happen? Which hospital are you in? I’ll come see you right away.”

That’s right-Song Wei had no idea that Zhou Kai had been sent to the hospital by Meng Zhiyi.

But even so, a casual show of concern from Song Wei was enough to make Zhou Kai overjoyed.

He replied cheerfully, “I’m fine, just a minor injury. I’ll be discharged in a few days.”

“You don’t need to worry about me. Take care of yourself first, and I’ll stand up for you when I’m out.”

Song Wei said, “Just focus on recovering. I’m just feeling a bit down and didn’t know who to talk to, so I called you.”

Zhou Kai replied, “No matter when, as long as you need me, I’ll always be here.”

Upon learning that Zhou Kai was in the hospital, Song Wei didn’t want to talk any further. She quickly found an excuse and hung up.

The moment the call ended, Song Wei’s expression instantly turned cold.

She stared at the WeChat chat window with Zhou Kai, her eyes filled with undisguised disdain.

“Truly useless.”

After this merciless complaint, Song Wei stood up, ready to head to the teaching building for class.

She had barely walked a few steps when her phone rang again.

As soon as Song Wei answered, an urgent male voice came from the other end.

“Miss Song, you never said there would be a lawsuit involved. Today I received a court summons from Meng Corporation. How are you going to handle this?”

Song Wei was already in a terrible mood, and her attitude was icy cold: “Handle it? I’ve already paid you. What more do you want? Isn’t risk assessment part of your job?”

At her words, the man’s voice also turned cold: “So, you’re not planning to deal with this problem now, is that it?”

“Miss Song, let me remind you-I have evidence in my hands. If Meng Corporation pushes me, I might have to hand it over to protect myself.”

Hearing this, Song Wei immediately calmed down.

She took a deep breath and softened her tone: “That’s not what I meant.”

“Tell me, how much more do you want?”

The man chuckled lightly: “If you’d had this attitude earlier, things would be much easier. How about this-give me another one million.”

Song Wei’s eyes widened: “One million?! Are you robbing me?”

“No bargaining. Transfer it to my account. If it’s not there by nine tomorrow, I’ll take the evidence to court.”

Song Wei gritted her teeth, extremely unwilling: “Fine.”

Meng Zhiyi had been sleepless all night. When she entered the classroom, she was drowsy and slumped over her desk.

The students were already coming in one after another, and everyone tacitly kept their distance from Meng Zhiyi.

Lin Luoluo came in hugging her books, glanced around, spotted Meng Zhiyi, and walked straight over.
After sitting down next to Meng Zhiyi and seeing that she was asleep, Lin Luoluo didn’t wake her.

Lin Luoluo gently placed her textbook beside Meng Zhiyi, then sat quietly.

Everyone thought Meng Zhiyi was difficult to get along with, but Lin Luoluo felt she was the easiest.

Meng Zhiyi sensed someone sitting next to her, but didn’t look up.

Soon, a group of people walked in, heading straight for Lin Luoluo’s seat.

“Lin Luoluo, come out, we have something to talk to you about.”

The speaker was Lin Luoluo’s former roommate, with three other girls following behind her.

They wore malicious smiles, their eyes fixed on her like venomous snakes.

Lin Luoluo’s face turned pale, her body stiff, not even daring to breathe heavily.

“I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear?” The girl grew impatient when Lin Luoluo didn’t respond.

Lin Luoluo bit her lip tightly, struggled inwardly for a moment, then whispered, “Class is about to start.”

The girl sneered, “So you mean you’re not coming?”

Lin Luoluo clenched her hands tightly, mustering her courage to reply, “I’ve already moved out of 401, and we’re not that close.”

The girl said, “Oh, so your wings have hardened just after moving out? Is it because I didn’t take good care of you before?”

Lin Luoluo bit her lip, her head lowered as far as it could go.

One of the girl’s companions was angered by her answer and reached out to push Lin Luoluo’s head.

She said, “You think you’re tough now? You dare to defy Miss Zhang’s orders?”

Lin Luoluo was caught off guard. With their push, she stumbled right into Meng Zhiyi.

Meng Zhiyi, who had been napping lightly due to the noisy environment, was instantly irritated by the collision.

“Can’t you understand what people say? She said she’s not close to you, don’t you get it?”

Meng Zhiyi raised her head, her delicate face full of displeasure, her voice cold.

At first, Miss Zhang and her group hadn’t noticed who was sitting next to Lin Luoluo. Now, seeing Meng Zhiyi, they were momentarily stunned, then mocked her:

“Oh, I wondered who it was. Turns out it’s Miss Meng, shamelessly chasing after Shen Que. What, not going after your fiancé today? Or is it that he doesn’t care about you at all?”

Meng Zhiyi closed her eyes briefly and let out a cold laugh.

Then, she suddenly stood up, her gaze icy as she stared at Miss Zhang and her group, but spoke to Lin Luoluo.

“Move in.”

Lin Luoluo hesitated for a few seconds, worried she’d cause trouble for Meng Zhiyi, and quickly said to Miss Zhang and the others, “I’ll go out with you.”

But just as she was about to leave, someone grabbed her collar.

Meng Zhiyi pulled her further inside, then stepped in front of Miss Zhang, her eyes sharp and cold.

Her tone was frigid: “Repeat what you just said.”

Perhaps it was the chill emanating from Meng Zhiyi, but Miss Zhang and her group felt an oppressive force from her, and a trace of fear crept into their hearts.

One of them stammered, “Isn’t it true? The whole school knows about your business, and we’re not allowed to talk about it?”

“And we’re here for Lin Luoluo, what does it have to do with you?”

Meng Zhiyi’s lips curled coldly, her head tilted slightly: “Because you disturbed my sleep. I have a bad temper. Either you leave on your own, or…”

As she finished, she picked up the textbook on the desk and rolled it up, clearly ready to take action.

“I’ll personally see you out.”
