[School Mystery + Two Top Students + Redemption]
I discovered Lin Wan’s secret back in elementary school: in front of adults, she was the model student, but behind their backs, she swept her gaze over everyone as if they were trash.
After she realized I’d seen through her, she followed me home from school every day. Once, she deliberately tossed my homework into a puddle.
“Jiang Yu, why are you pretending to be a good person?” she sneered, stepping on my notebook.
It wasn’t until our classmate Shen Jiayi tearfully begged us not to tell anyone about her family’s troubles that I quietly signed my name on the donation list.
Lin Wan stared at me. “You promised to keep it secret.”
“You’ll find out soon enough.” I calmly put away my fountain pen.
On the day of the fundraiser, when the principal publicly announced what had happened to the Shen family, Lin Wan abruptly turned and glared at me.
She didn’t see the bloodstained IOU clenched in my hand. My gambling-addict father had lost all the donated money the night before.
And Shen Jiayi had disappeared.
