The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 031: The Bottom Line Has Already Been Broken:

The two of them had played their parts well, and the cheating crisis had been smoothly resolved.

However, since Qi Lin had framed a fellow student, his punishment was increased.

Instead of just one parent being called in, both of his parents were now required to come to school.

“Pfft~”

Thinking about this absurd punishment, Lan Yuxi couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.

“Class monitor, how does it feel to act like a delicate white lotus?”

Qi Lin lazily teased, completely unfazed by Lan Yuxi’s mockery.

“Tch! You’re the white lotus here! This whole mess started because of you, and now that your parents are being called, you totally deserve it!”

Lan Yuxi rolled her eyes at him, showing no gratitude whatsoever.

“Heh~ Just got out of trouble, and you’re already acting feisty again. Looks like someone needs to be taught a lesson.”

Qi Lin reached out and grabbed Lan Yuxi’s soft, cold little hand, playing with it.

“You’re such a scoundrel! We’re standing right outside the office!”

Lan Yuxi’s face flushed red with embarrassment and anger. She quickly shook off Qi Lin’s hand and ran toward the classroom.

If she stayed with him any longer, who knew what other outrageous things he might do?

But what she failed to realize was that, despite never even letting Wang Cheng hold her hand, she hadn’t felt anything particularly wrong when Qi Lin did it.

Perhaps it was because Qi Lin had already broken her bottom line.

After all, he had already kissed her—what was holding hands compared to that?

…

Ever since Lan Yuxi and Qi Lin had been called to the office, Wang Cheng had been restless, unable to focus on his exam.

By the time he realized it, the test was almost over, and he still had half of the paper left unanswered.

“Damn, I’m screwed. My ranking is definitely going to drop this time.”

“Damn it, this is all because of Qi Lin! If it weren’t for that bastard, I wouldn’t have gotten caught up in this mess.”

Blaming Qi Lin for everything had already become a habit for Wang Cheng.

Just as he was cursing in his head, the exam time officially ended.

Ignoring Wang Cheng’s desperate pleas, the substitute invigilator Mei Sanyuan had called in collected all the papers.

At the same time, Lan Yuxi had returned to the classroom.

Seeing her, Wang Cheng immediately forgot about the exam.

The moment she sat down, he leaned in, his face filled with guilt.

“Yuxi, I’m sorry. I’m really, really sorry. If I had known that the answer sheet was from you, I would never have reported Qi Lin.”

“Wuuu… Now it’s all over. You’re definitely going to be punished, maybe even expelled. If I could, I’d take the blame for you so you wouldn’t have to suffer for this.”

Perhaps because his feelings for her were too deep, Wang Cheng, a grown man, actually started sobbing.

Lan Yuxi hadn’t planned on paying him any attention.

But now, seeing him like this, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

“Why did you have to provoke Qi Lin? You could never win against him, don’t you see that?”

After all, they had been classmates for six years, and Wang Cheng had always been considerate toward her.

In the end, Lan Yuxi’s heart softened.

What she had just thought remained unspoken. Instead, she sighed lightly and said, “I already explained everything to the teacher. The cheating incident was just a misunderstanding. Qi Lin framed me, but I’m fine now. However, Qi Lin was given a demerit and has to bring his parents to school.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Cheng’s head shot up, his face filled with joy.

“Really? Is that true?”

“That’s great! I knew it—someone as outstanding and righteous as you could never cheat! Qi Lin, that bastard, must have been the one to slander you!”

Hearing him still call Qi Lin a bastard, Lan Yuxi knew that Wang Cheng still held resentment toward him.

Her expression turned serious for the first time.

“I’ve already promised you that if we both get into the same university, I’ll be your girlfriend. You don’t need to be jealous of Qi Lin. Just remember, don’t cause him any more trouble, or I won’t talk to you again.”

Thud.

Wang Cheng’s heart sank.

For the first time, he realized that Lan Yuxi wasn’t joking with him.

But her words were clear—she didn’t like Qi Lin. Her heart was still set on him.

Wang Cheng clenched his teeth.

He could ignore anyone else’s advice, but not Lan Yuxi’s.

“I… I promise.”

His voice was filled with reluctance and defeat.

Lan Yuxi’s approach was undoubtedly the right one.

After all, Qi Lin wasn’t just an ordinary person—he was a reborn individual with a system, and he had completely changed from his past self.

Wang Cheng had no chance of winning against him.

Lowering his head and staying out of trouble was the best option.

But no matter what, neither of them realized that the grudge between Qi Lin and Wang Cheng was one that could never be resolved.

In his past life, Wang Cheng had pinned him down, forced steaming hot dry noodles into his mouth in front of countless people, and, in the end, he had been humiliated to the point of jumping off a building…

Such hatred—only a saint could forgive something like that.

But Qi Lin was no saint.

He was a villain—a rich second-generation heir who had completely embraced his dark side.

He wanted Wang Cheng dead.

Even if Wang Cheng surrendered and admitted defeat, Qi Lin would make sure he suffered.

He would ruin him—leave him broken, despised by all, and in complete despair. Only then would Qi Lin’s hatred be satisfied.

And more importantly…

The system had already revealed that this world was a fusion of multiple novels.

If he wanted to survive, he had to crush every protagonist’s halo.

Otherwise, he would inevitably meet the same tragic fate as before.

With that, everything was already set in stone—Wang Cheng and Qi Lin were destined to be lifelong enemies.
