Chapter 2

I didn't expect Mu Qinghan to say that.

"I won't go back, he never acknowledged me in the first place. Why should I go back? I'm not that shameless."

Mu Qinghan consoled, "This is what you deserve, and after all the suffering you and your mother endured, don't you think your father should pay some price?"

Hearing her say that, I felt a little shaken. I also thought it was too easy on this so-called father if I don't ask for anything.

At that moment, a handsome guy approached us and started chatting.

I immediately recognized him as Huo Minghao, a famous second-generation rich kid at school, a playboy with money and influence, not to mention good looks, whose romantic exploits were known all over campus.

From juniors to seniors, no pretty girl could escape his grasp, and even quite a few pretty female teachers had been taken advantage of by him.

Of course, someone like him would have nothing to do with me.

It was obvious he came to pursue Mu Qinghan again, I instinctively made room for the handsome guy and the beautiful girl, but who knew Huo Minghao would come closer to me.

I took a step back, and he came even closer.

"What, do you really dislike me?"

Huo Minghao's smile was exceptionally attractive.

I started feeling a bit restless, "What are you doing? The person you're trying to chat up is over there!"

Huo Minghao glanced at Mu Qinghan among the boys, gave a slight smile, "What's there to chat her up about? She's all appearance and no substance. I prefer dealing with interesting people."

Interesting people?

Was he complimenting me or mocking me?

I've received so much sarcasm that I couldn't tell in the moment, nor did I dare to have any illusions.

"If you want to laugh at me, go ahead, just leave after laughing."

"Haha, you're really interesting. I'm Huo Minghao, what's your name?"

"I…" My heart started racing a bit, trying my best to control my emotions. Such a handsome guy was overwhelming to me, a girl who had never been in a relationship and was full of insecurities.

"I'm Zhou Xin."

A very ordinary name.

"Oh, that's a nice name."

Huo Minghao chatted with me for a long time. He was the one always finding topics, and I was only responsible for responding. His confidence, composure, and smile slowly melted my heart.

Indeed, he didn't go after Mu Qinghan. It seemed he really wasn't interested in her. Even when Mu Qinghan took the initiative to talk to him, he only said a few words before turning back to look at me.

Before long, there were rumors around the school about Huo Minghao pursuing an ugly duckling like me.

Many people started saying that Huo Minghao had changed his taste and wanted something plain after too many gourmet meals.

I was also affected by these words.

Quite a few of Huo Minghao's admirers began to bully me, blocking my path, deliberately bumping into me, pulling my hair, tearing my bag, even cursing and insulting me, and I didn't dare to fight back.

"Does a pig like you deserve Huo Minghao!"

"Look at yourself, you're shameless!"

"Can you stay away from our Minghao?"

Actually, I never agreed to anything with Huo Minghao. He was always the one approaching me, and I've tried very hard to avoid him.

Suddenly, a girl holding a tray of food walked towards me, threatening viciously, "Fat pig, let me warn you, Huo Minghao is out of your league, do you really think with your looks you can join the wealthy? Don't dream!"

When she saw I wasn't responding, seeming like she lost face, she dumped a plate of food onto my head!
