Chapter 584: Chapter 581

Knowing his heart was not with them and he couldn’t give them love, let alone marriage, he simply went after their money.

He didn’t care either; it was just a matter of mutual needs.

He did want to meet his true love, but only if it was someone he liked.

The one he truly wished to connect with.

And what does it mean to truly like someone…?

Before, he used to think that love was just nonsense, but that changed after he visited Lu Xiao’s home.

He saw the way Wen Xian looked at Lu Xiao, her eyes filled with love, as if he was the only one there despite the crowd.

He saw his brother, cold as ice, looking at her with tender love in his eyes and providing meticulous care.

They were deeply in love with each other.

It was then he saw what genuine, steadfast love was.

Previously, he thought there was no rush, feeling annoyed by his family’s nagging about marriage, considering Lu Xiao would keep him company.

But who would have thought that not only did Lu Xiao not return from the west, but when he did, he had a wife and child in tow?

It completely floored him—

Shen Lin rubbed his temples helplessly.

But marriage is a lifelong commitment; getting a wife isn’t as simple as just deciding to have one…?

…

Li Zaijun had taken the day off and didn’t return to school to teach, staying in her dormitory all day.

Even though she hadn’t sparked the issue herself, she didn’t want to face pointed fingers either.

Her roommate, Tong Le, sent her a message, furiously tapping:

“Junjun, what’s going on? Why didn’t you come to class, where are you, is everything okay?”

After seeing this, Li Zaijun replied:

“It’s okay, I’m in the dorm.”

Tong Le sent a relieved emoticon, but couldn’t help saying:

“That’s good, it’s better you didn’t come. The classmates here are still discussing your issue.”

Li Zaijun: “…”

Her eyes flickered slightly.

In an avalanche, no snowflake feels responsible.

These classmates wouldn’t think they had caused her any harm, but when added up, the damage to her was immense.

She buried her head and continued to work on her thesis.

But as she put it aside, suddenly a message from the school official website popped up on her phone.

She hadn’t seen it immediately, but other students at the school had all received the message.

They immediately clicked on it.

Upon reading it, they were all stunned.

It was a notice about the school.

Clearly written:

[Recently, our school was the site of a malicious public opinion sanction.

According to the investigation, Xu Wenbin, the president of the student council of our Economics College, fabricated a manipulated chat record, using a secondary account to slander other innocent female students.

He and his girlfriend at the same grade, Fan someone, spread rumors using the school’s public space, and after review, both are considered to have committed serious defamation. However, in consideration of Li as a fellow student, she has decided not to pursue the matter further.

Therefore, Xu and Fan will each have a major demerit, their degree qualifications canceled, and they will be under scrutiny for one year without the possibility of graduation, and their criminal records will follow them for life.

We hope all students will take this as a warning and not to make judgments without knowing the full facts!]

At the end of the notice, the principal gave a message to everyone:

Education does not equate to character; no matter what, born as humans, everyone is expected to be kind.

…

When the whole school saw that message, whether they were in the classroom or—
