They were just trying to scare me.

Tao Zi secretly laughed in her heart. As usual, she wore a pitiful facade to hide her clandestine promiscuity.

“What happened yesterday, how am I here?”

The school's staff and cla.s.smates simply exchanged furtive glances with one another without replying.

Then, a female cla.s.smate helped Tao Zi up and whispered quietly, “Tao Zi, you have to prepare your heart and mind for what I'm about to tell you.”

“Be prepared? Be prepared for what?” Tao Zi furrowed her eyebrows in doubt.

The female cla.s.smate hesitated for a while and anxiously glanced at the people staring at them, before whispering, “Everyone knows about you and Professor Tan.”

When Tao Zi heard it, her entire body was frozen in guilty astonishment. Before she could open her mouth…

A staff member spoke to her, “Li Tao student? If you are fine, we need to talk to you for a while. From today on, Professor Zhang will be fired by the school. As for you, considering the adverse effects to the school and our job to maintain a respectable quality of the students, we will give you a stern warning first. Alas, the texts that you sent have been posted on our school's post. Since the media has discovered it, many people are waiting for an explanation. Although the death of Professor Tan's wife is not directly related to you, the indecent photos between you and Professor Tan have a negative impact on the school's reputation. Thus, we must deal with it immediately. You should go home now, while we investigate this matter further.”

“You can't do this!” Tao Zi shouted, “Just because I have a relationship with the professor, you're going to fire me? Why? This is not in accordance with legal procedures!”

This was indeed not according to the book.

Therefore, Tao Zi was not taken away on that day, and stayed in school instead.

However, just because the school did not deal with it, it did not mean that everyone was unaware of her deplorable act.

Everyone began to look at her differently than before.

Many boys like the kind of girl like her the most, as she was very beautiful and amiable. She even knew how to be coy and would never hide her interest in the men that she liked.

Everyone thought that she was very outstanding, but in fact, she was more materialistic than anyone else.

She seduced Professor Tan because she was very fascinated by a man of that age. On the other hand, he bought her whatever she wanted and he was her professor. It was simply a deal that was too good to be true.

In addition, she really detested that old hag. She simply met Old Tan earlier than me. Why did she have such a good life, with an expensive car and a large house?

While I have nothing even though I'm so young?

Tao Zi knew these men very well. When she interacted with them, the less she seemed to care about money, the more they would think that she was special and not materialistic.

She acted like those women who did not care about money, and could talk freely about extravagant and luxurious items such as branded handbags and expensive cars.

In their eyes, nothing was taboo for them.

However, in the men's perception, her facade was charming and very unique. The unpretentious ladies, however, seemed like an unprofitable investment.

Tao Zi used her underhanded trickery to seduce Old Tan. She believed that Old Tan still thought that she really liked him and he was the only one in her heart.

In fact, Tao Zi was not wrong. After this incident, Professor Tan did not care about anything and desperately looked for Tao Zi. Then, he held her hand and said many things that sounded like “I will be good to you for my entire life.”.

At that time, Tao Zi already knew that Old Tan had been fired by the school because of this incident. Since the incident had caused quite a furor, his career would be heavily impeded in the future. Undeniably, a teacher that committed such a flagrant offense would have a bleak future in the education field.

However, Tao Zi had lost all her attraction for Old Tan since he's not a professor anymore. Furthermore, he seemed extremely pitiful when he approached her, and had completely become a useless 50-year-old man.

Thus, Tao Zi would never be with him. She shoved him away and yelled, “Are you insane, who wants to live with you forever!”

Old Tan did not expect her to say that, but he did not give up. “Are you concerned about how others look at you? You can rest a.s.sured that I'm now divorced and can marry you immediately.”

“Marry me? What do you have to marry me? The car and house a.s.signed to you by the school have been taken away, so you only have the broken house left. You want me to marry you just because you have these shabby things?” Tao Zi was afraid of giving him any hint of hope, so she said curtly, “To tell you the truth, I can't stand that kind of suffering. In order to avoid people gossiping about me in the future, please do not show yourself in front of me in the future.”

Old Tan still could not believe that this was the kind girl he knew previously. Thus, he pressed on further, asking Tao Zi if she had any bitter difficulties.

Tao Zi became extremely annoyed at him. When she noticed that no one was around, she revealed her true self to him and snapped, “Are you a f*cking moron? Do you really want to anger me further? You can't even protect yourself now, how can you give me happiness, you old piece of trash!”

When he heard the ruthless insult, Old Tan seemed to have been struck by lightning. His whole body stiffened and trembled furiously in anger.

Just then, a chuckle suddenly sounded from nearby.

“Jue, look at this. This is how your kind is. At this stage, he's still making excuses for a mistress. It is really cheap into the bones.”

Baili Jia Jue laughed, as he kneeled on the ground on one knee. Then, he raised Helian Wei Wei's hand with his gloved hand, before lowering his eyes and kissing it, “My master, you must know that not all men are blind like him.”

“Hey.” Helian Wei Wei was really not used to such a move from His Highness.

He always treated her like a delicate doll. After he kissed her hand, he would surely lift her up with a beautiful smile.

It seemed as if he really planned to raise her like a pet.

Helian Wei Wei let out a sigh helplessly, her face was small but also adorable.

However, when she looked at Old Tan, she nonchalantly said, “Auntie Lin asked me to tell you that she has never betrayed you after more than 10 years as your childhood friend and 30 years of marriage. She hated you once, but not anymore because she will never meet you again in her next life. Even if you do, both of you will simply pa.s.s each other as mere strangers. Whether you will be rich or poor in the future, it is no longer any of her business. She will not be buried next to your tomb in the Tan family's grave, because you have completely disgusted her.”
