For a month, Yuan Gun Gun lived like her old days in the Yuan Mansion. In the mornings she woke up, cooked breakfast and Na Liu Ting Du took her to school. In the evenings she returned to the Hao Mansion, cooked dinner, set the dining table and walked straight to her bedroom.

Hao Yan Che and Yuan Gun Gun avoided seeing each other that whole month.

Yuan Gun Gun was in her final year of high school at a prestigious private high school. Only the students from the richest families and the smartest poor students were admitted into the school. All students were guaranteed to be accepted into college. There were three social groups at the school. The first were poor students, the second were students from average households and the third were rich students.

Yuan Gun Gun was a rich student. But she had a handicap, her handsome adopted brother, Na Liu Ting Du.

‘Gun Gun, are you sure you gave your big brother the love letters?’ the tall girl asked.

‘Yes,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. She packed her books into her bag. ‘I gave all our classmates’ love letters to big brother Du.’

‘Good,’ the tall girl said. ‘Do you have to go now?’

‘Yes,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘I need to go home after school.’

A group of beautiful female students surrounded Yuan Gun Gun.

‘Let’s go to the bathroom first then we can all go home together,’ the group leader said.

‘OK,’ Yuan Gun Gun said and followed the leader.

Five girls walked behind Yuan Gun Gun to the bathroom.

In the bathroom the leader pushed Yuan Gun Gun’s head against a wall.

‘Ah…’ Yuan Gun Gun cried out and felt dizzy.

‘Gun Gun, tell the truth,’ the short hair girl said. ‘Did you give the love letters to your big brother or not?’

‘Yes,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

The leader slapped Yuan Gun Gun’s face hard. Yuan Gun Gun held her swollen face.

‘You’re lying,’ a half-cast girl said. ‘If you gave your big brother the love letters, why hasn’t he replied to us?’

‘I don’t know,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

Yuan Gun Gun didn’t understand how such beautiful girls could be so vicious.

‘Of course you know,’ the leader said. ‘You love your big brother so you hid the love letters from him. We’ve seen you kiss your big brother.’

‘Big brother Du is my big brother,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘Of course I love my big brother. I only kiss big brother Du’s face.’

‘Stop acting innocent,’ the leader said. ‘Look at your face and your body. Stop dreaming. You should go kill yourself.’

The group of girls threw buckets of water onto Yuan Gun Gun’s body. Then they hit and scratched Yuan Gun Gun’s face. Yuan Gun Gun wasn’t smart but she respected herself. She didn’t let herself cry in front of the vicious girls.

In that moment, a doll like girl walked into the bathroom.

‘You hateful bitches, if you’re going to gang up on a defenceless person then at least remember to lock the door,’ Qiu Li Li said sarcastically. ‘Indeed all the bad deeds happen in the bathroom after school.’

An attractive sassy girl walked into the bathroom after Qiu Li Li.

‘Is there a problem here?’ Luo Qing Qing asked.
