My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

How could they not be happy about it?

The Shi family didn\'t plan to host a large celebration for relatives and friends, after all, nothing was set in stone yet, and making a big fuss now could jinx things.

Although they weren\'t making a big deal of it, Song Ying and Lu Lanshan came over on their own initiative.

Song Ying, being Shi Li\'s classmate, knew about her recommendation news.

When she told her family about it, the Xu family was genuinely happy for Shi Li.

Somehow Madam Xu had heard that the Shi family was planning a small celebration.

So that afternoon, Xu Xing\'s Wife brought gifts and came over with her daughter.

Since they were guests, it wouldn\'t be right to turn them away, and they meant well, so the mother and daughter were invited to stay for dinner.

Lu Lanshan heard about this from Shi Ruan, and being someone who loved joining in on celebrations, how could she miss this?

She also brought gifts and asked to join the meal.

They couldn\'t refuse her either.

When Song Ying heard from Shi Ruan about her breakup with Ji Chunsheng, she first turned to observe Shi Li\'s reaction.

Shi Li\'s expression was stunned, clearly very surprised by this outcome.

Song Ying wondered to herself if this hadn\'t been orchestrated by Shi Li.

Everyone\'s understanding of Shi Li was that she strongly disliked Ji Chunsheng and had been trying her best to break up him and Shi Ruan.

When discussing the couple\'s breakup, Song Ying\'s first thought was that it must have something to do with Shi Ruan, which was actually a reasonable guess.

But Shi Li\'s expression proved one thing - she had nothing to do with this.

And the next second, Song Ying heard Shi Li\'s inner thoughts, which confirmed this guess.

Shi Li said bitterly, "Damn, humans are such fickle creatures. When I used to try to break them up, they were inseparable, acting like they\'d fly away together like butterflies the next second. Now that I\'ve stopped meddling in their romance, they break up faster than a toilet flush."

Song Ying: She could somewhat understand Shi Li\'s frustration.

Others also couldn\'t understand how such an apparently loving couple could suddenly break up.

Her brother Shi Quan raised his eyebrows angrily, "What happened? Did he bully you?" It seemed like if Shi Ruan had nodded, he would have slammed the table and gone to beat up Ji Chunsheng right then.

Although in their relationship, it was clear that Shi Ruan had the upper hand, and logically it should have been Shi Ruan who did something wrong.

But that\'s how brothers are - biased. My sister must be innocent; it must be the other person\'s fault.

Eldest Uncle Shi didn\'t stop his eldest son, clearly sharing the same mindset.

Lu Lanshan could see clearly now that this family always sided with their own, regardless of right or wrong.

Of course, she was the same way.

Although she knew Shi Ruan wouldn\'t be bullied, she still felt Ji Chunsheng deserved a beating.

Eldest Aunt Shi told Shi Ruan to calm down, but her words still favored her daughter, "Tell mom how he bullied you, and I\'ll help you deal with it."

Previously, Eldest Aunt Shi had always affectionately called him "Chunsheng," but now she simply referred to him as "he."

Shi Ruan ladled some bamboo shoot and matsutake soup for Song Ying and Shi Li, then smiled slightly, "It\'s nothing much, just that I saw Ji Chengmin\'s wife hugging him, and he didn\'t push her away."

Shi Li\'s eyebrows knotted together, thinking "What is Ji Chunsheng up to?"

"Whatever he\'s doing, he\'s just garbage, a complete scumbag."

Shi Li had been the strongest opponent of their relationship, so she didn\'t show excessive shock or surprise now.

The rest of the Shi family was different. In everyone\'s eyes, Ji Chunsheng had been the embodiment of the perfect son-in-law - handsome, from a good family, and always listened to their daughter.

Such a good son-in-law would be hard to find even with a lantern.

Suddenly hearing about this flaw in his character was like finding out a celebrity with a supposedly perfect reputation, whom you\'d been a fan of for years, had suddenly been exposed for misconduct - how could people not be shocked?

Beyond shock came anger, intense anger.

Huang Jie apologetically said, "I\'m sorry, darling. It\'s all aunty\'s fault for not seeing through that scumbag when I introduced him to you."

Shi Ruan smiled, "Aunty, this isn\'t your fault. You stay together if it feels right, and break up if it doesn\'t - it\'s not a big deal."

"Besides, I didn\'t lose anything in this relationship. Even though he turned out to be a scumbag, he did provide me with emotional value." He had also helped her copy many teaching plans, so the sudden breakup was indeed a bit of a shame - she\'d lost a super useful helper.

Shi Ruan was taking it well and didn\'t seem too sad or upset, but her family saw it as her putting on a brave face, which made them hate Ji Chunsheng even more.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and Lu Lanshan, after cursing Ji Chunsheng in her heart,

Couldn\'t help but think about how Shi Li had once called for Shi Ruan to break up with Ji Chunsheng, and how she had also said her former fiancé (who she\'d said was "growing grass on his grave") wasn\'t a good person.

Time had proven that neither of them were good people.

And Shi Li had recently mentioned that her current boyfriend wasn\'t a good person either.

So...

After Lu Lanshan went home, she promptly broke up with her boyfriend.

Elder Brother Zuo was left with an inexplicable breakup, completely unable to understand why.

Of course, no matter how much he racked his brain, he probably wouldn\'t figure out the real reason.

After not having to go to school for a few days, Shi Li had been lounging at home for two days when a text message from Ji Chunsheng made her bolt upright from her sickbed.

Ji Chunsheng: [Shi Li, please help me arrange a meeting with your sister. She\'s blocked me, and I can\'t message her. The last incident was a misunderstanding, I want to explain everything to her. I would never betray her]

Shi Li stared at the screen in shock for two seconds.

Shi Li: Sorry, I forgot to block you.

Two seconds later, a large red exclamation mark appeared on Ji Chunsheng\'s screen, indicating that she had enabled friend verification.
