Tang Li always felt that things weren’t this simple.

Just as she was about to ask for the note back, Yu Sui folded it quickly and stuffed it into his pocket, speaking before Tang Li: "I’ll keep it for now, and give him a week. If he doesn’t repay the money in a week, I’ll go find him."

After saying this, he swaggered off.

Once he was gone, He Wei asked about the origin of the five thousand yuan debt.

Upon learning it was the caretaker fee, He Wei: "..."

He had visited Yuan Qin in the hospital before; the caretaker was clearly a middle-aged man.

But He Wei quickly figured it out: "It’s that caretaker’s daughter."

Tang Li: "..."

As she prepared to return to Tan Palace, Gao Shengyan arrived.

Gao Shengyan told her that the principal wanted to take a photo with her at the Monument at the school gate.

As for why the principal didn’t say this personally—

"Maybe he was shy." Gao Shengyan explained.

Tang Li: "..."

Tang Li belatedly realized something, "Why isn’t Vice Dean Yu here today?"

In their college, Vice Dean Yu is Yu Sui’s uncle.

"You mean Yu Guowen?"

Tang Li nodded: "That’s right."

Gao Shengyan’s expression softened: "He was transferred to the logistics department long ago, specifically to oversee the distribution of cleaning supplies."

It was undeniably a demotion.

Gao Shengyan didn’t hide from Tang Li: "Previously, Yu Guowen used sponsorship fees as an excuse to trouble you, and then he canceled your scholarship out of private grudges, which Principal Huang found out about." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The current Tang Li is not the same as before. Whether Principal Huang is standing up for her or genuinely feels Yu Guowen is undeserving of his position, at least this decision prevents certain tragedies from the past life.

Remembering the girl who was forced to jump off a building in her past life, even though Yu Guowen is Yu Sui’s uncle, Tang Li still reminded Gao Shengyan: "At that time, Vice Dean Yu called me into the office to coerce me with sponsorship fees and scholarships to do things I didn’t want to do. I guess I’m not the only one he pressured."

Upon hearing this, Gao Shengyan’s expression changed.

As a woman, she fully understood what Tang Li’s ’things I didn’t want to do’ implied.

If Yu Guowen really caused chaos in the college...

Gao Shengyan couldn’t imagine how many girls would suffer.

After all, not every girl comes from a wealthy family, and those from poor backgrounds are more vulnerable to mistreatment.

Having learned such crucial information, Gao Shengyan immediately decided—

"I’ll go find Dean Han now."

Watching Gao Shengyan disappear around the corridor corner, Tang Li touched her belly. Since she had a second chance at happiness, others shouldn’t have to end up as a handful of soil in their blooming years.

Responding to favors with favors, Tang Li took a photo with the principal at the Monument before leaving.

However, seeing her name at the end of the Monument, Tang Li: "..."

"This is the Honorary Alumni Monument." The principal explained.

Tang Li had studied here for several years, so she knew this was a monument engraving the names of honorary alumni, but the name ’Tang Li’ appearing on it seemed very out of place.

Soon, Tang Li found the anomaly.

—She was the only living person on that Monument!

When she raised this point, the principal promised on the spot to have the monument moved back.

Principal Huang truly is a man of his word.

The next day, Tang Li saw a new Monument in the class group.

A monument that only had her name engraved on it.

Just like that, it replaced the Honorary Alumni Monument, standing proudly at the entrance of the Art College.

Tang Li: "......"
