Li Han and Xiao Xu broke the car window of Song Zhen, causing the vehicle’s alarm to sound. This drew the attention of nearby pedestrians who gathered around to watch. An administrative staff member from the office building came running out in a fit of anger, pointing at the three people and berating them for their behavior: "What's going on here Which department or faculty are you from Haven't you seen how many cars there are here How could you throw things around like this" This was close to the time when Nan University’s Homecoming Festival was about to begin, and the car owners in the campus were not ordinary people. All campuses tightened their rules on discipline, atmosphere, cleanliness, and security. Any issues would fall directly onto his shoulders, and he couldn’t afford any trouble with superiors.

Clearly, Li Han and Xiao Xu were also shocked by what had happened. Both of them were university students who occasionally broke some minor school regulations—such as skipping curfew checks or fighting impulsively on campus—but these issues could usually be resolved within the university. However, breaking someone’s sports car window went beyond that.

The consequences and compensation for such an act would be too much for financially strapped college students to bear. Thus, their spirits had already plummeted.

News of this incident quickly reached higher-ups, and soon a group of people from the Nan University Homecoming Festival Committee, Publicity Department, and Party Office descended upon the scene.

Song Zhen stood out among the crowd in a light pink strapless top paired with white bare legs encased in black leather sandals. Her toenails were painted clear, giving her toes a beautiful sheen. Despite changing from her usual seductive style to a more delicate one, she still had an allure of her own.

With such attire and a slightly matured demeanor, Song Zhen would not be mistaken for an ordinary university student walking around the campus; instead, she would likely attract attention from male students who wouldn’t dare approach her. Meanwhile, those driving luxury cars in the area might stop to talk to her.

Upon hearing about the broken car window and its alarm going off, Song Zhen descended the stairs with an icy demeanor. Accompanying her was a tall man with a slender yet muscular build and deep-set eyes who would typically elicit screams of admiration from female office workers.

This man’s name was Fu Hang; he had been a driver for Song Zhen's father at Sen Group, later moving into a department manager position but still carrying the nature of being her bodyguard. His status within the company was quite high.

Today, Fu Hang accompanied Song Zhen to the meeting at Nan University and remained by her side throughout.

Lately in Shanghai, he had been with Song Zhen for shopping, sightseeing, and relaxation; even purchasing a set of Dior’s cool black fashion clothes from Henglong department store for him.

This is Fu Hang's reason for vanity, even though Song Zhen only expressed gratitude for his loyalty and responsibility. However, Fu Hang knows what this set of clothes from the Group’s Miss Song means for his status within the company. Perhaps in the future, more people will look at him with suspicion or envy, even questioning whether he might be the first among many to climb to the top and achieve everyone's dreams.

Among so many people up and down in the company, who, if a man, especially those between twenty and thirty years old regardless of marital status, can say they have no thoughts about Song Zhen Who truly has no impure desires hidden in their heart, especially when showing solid and reliable qualities to Miss Song that wealthy women lack—the sense of security. Fu Hang believes he will eventually shine brightly before Song Zhen.

When going downstairs together, Fu Hang whispered to Song Zhen, "I'll take a look first."

He quickly went out from the administrative building to where the incident happened. Facing Li Han and Su Can, Fu Hang raised his voice high, saying, "Who smashed the car What does it mean" The intimidating manner made some students watching feel cold-hearted and think this matter wouldn't end well. The duty teachers nearby didn't dare to speak up.

Li Han and Xiao Xu hurriedly apologized; although Fu Hang's expression softened a bit, his stern look remained unchanged.

In the eyes of others, he was an imposing figure, but in his view, others' gazes were merely clouds passing by. The only thing on Fu Hang’s mind was how to leave an impression on Song Zhen or even a deep one. This could help him climb higher and further within that profound company.

The leaders who came down from the administrative building hurried forward with gloomy faces, not showing any displeasure towards these students like Li Han but instead questioned the duty teachers. After getting an overview of what happened, he turned to some school staff members and said, "Make a phone call and bring over the counselors and department heads for these three students, have them notify their parents about this matter…"

He then turned to Song Zhen and said, "It was caused by these students throwing balls. The school needs to take responsibility too, we will handle it seriously, but should we first call the insurance company people over"

The surrounding people were either solemn or sighed, feeling pity for the situation. On one side is a beautiful lady with an expensive sports car, while on the other are just ordinary students. The final outcome of this matter might have significant impacts on these students' futures.

Fu Hang beside Song Zhen had already called the insurance company and glanced at his boss's back figure, thinking that exposing someone like Miss Song for too long here isn't a good idea. Should he let her leave first and handle it himself

His eyes flickered slightly as he saw Song Zhen stepping forward through the crowd to stand in front of Su Can.

Song Zhen tilted her head sideways, one side of her long hair was pinned up while the other side flowed like a black cloud. Her previously frosty expression had been replaced by a pair of eyes as clear and tranquil as lake water, staring intently at him, "You’ve sat in this car before, so you must know that it’s mine… This car is innocent, it hasn’t done anything to offend you, right"

Reaching here, Song Zhen seemed to have calmed down somewhat and teased, "Or perhaps because I picked you up for dinner on Huanshi Road but didn’t take you home that day Didn’t you say you usually go back by bus with Lin Ge Ran"

Su Can smiled helplessly, “Lin Luo Ran is a friend I’ve known for quite some time. If she did something the other day, please don’t mind it. In any case, what happened today was completely an accident…”

Li Han and Xiao Xu both stared intently at Su Can; their eyes were filled with many thoughts. Even if they weren’t very perceptive individuals, from Song Zhen’s words, they could sense that there was something between her and Su Can. It wasn’t just a matter of knowing each other—it went beyond mere acquaintanceship.

Since Su Can knew her, and given the somewhat relaxed tone in which she had spoken, it didn’t seem like Song Zhen intended to make a fuss about this incident. Li Han and Xiao Xu felt slightly relieved at that moment and spoke from the sidelines, “It’s not related to Su Can; we accidentally hit the car. Regardless of how much it costs to repair, we will bear full responsibility.”

When Li Han and Xiao Xu mentioned money, their voices lacked confidence. They didn’t know how expensive a replacement window for such a car would be—was it in the hundreds or thousands In today’s context, where college students generally had monthly expenses of several hundred to a few thousand yuan, this was no small amount. Now that they hoped this girl would overlook the matter due to her friendship with Su Can and thus reduce compensation—if not completely avoid paying up—the two of them actually wished for Su Can and the girl to have an even closer relationship so as to make things smoother.

A sardonic voice sounded, "How much money" Li Han and others looked over; it was the man accompanying Song Zhen beside her. He seemed to be stifling a laugh from deep in his nose at hearing this amusing situation and raised an eyebrow, “Can you afford such payment This car model is rare in China and hasn’t entered the domestic market. You’ve been quite lucky that only the window got damaged—however, I reckon replacing this side window alone would cost several ten thousand yuan…”

Li Han and Xiao Xu were left speechless.

Fu Hang was no stranger to reading people’s emotions; even though Su Can knew Song Zhen, did many around her really treat her as a close friend Some merely played together in the same social circles but weren’t genuine friends. In this situation, there was no way Song Zhen wouldn’t be upset regardless of whether they were acquaintances or not. Given his understanding of Song Zhen’s character, Fu Hang felt it was necessary to clearly distinguish between friendship and responsibility here; hence he spoke bluntly without any niceties, “Don’t keep saying you’ll take responsibility… Some things are too expensive for you.”

Song Zhen stared at Fu Hang with flashing eyes, a hint of anxiety in her gaze. Her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something but didn’t manage to get the words out. Su Can looked up and met Fu Hang’s eyes sharply; Fu Hang felt rather intimidated by this student’s direct stare. He heard Su Can calmly state, “I can afford that responsibility.”

This statement left Fu Hang speechless. What was critical was the confrontational tone of his words immediately following his public declaration.

A committee member from the homecoming group of school administrators nearby thought this student was being presumptuous and was about to reprimand him when he was pulled back by a section chief from an organ party committee. Naturally, they knew Su Can's identity and shook their head slightly as a warning. The other person had been immersed in such matters for quite some time and immediately understood the situation, only increasing his scrutiny.

"What資格 do you have to say that" Fu Hang stared at Su Can with a distant look.

Su Can then opened his personal bag, used a pen to write down the address of the Mei Luo Building in Chinese characters on a notepad, and left Qiao Cunxin's phone number. He tore off two pieces and flicked them towards Fu Hang, "Think twice before you speak like that in the future. You want qualifications... Here are your qualifications!"

"After determining the damage, call this number. Someone will come to handle it." Holding the piece of paper given by Su Can, Fu Hang's eyelids were twitching from being provoked. How could such a weak party dare speak to him like that He was merely a student from Nan University.

Su Can patted the shoulders of Li Han and Xiao Xu, who watched him with excitement. Then he turned to Song Zhen and said, "That's all for today. We have other things to do and will leave now."

The surrounding crowd felt puzzled by this turn of events; they had never seen anything like it before. Even the school representatives were left speechless.

Song Zhen clenched her fist when she saw Su Can's habitual demeanor, "Did I say that you must compensate for this"

"Ah, so in the end, we still have to pay!" Xiao Xu turned with a mournful expression.

A sudden feeling of oppression rose in Song Zhen's chest. She said somewhat無力地, "That's not what I meant."

Then, without revealing her inner thoughts or pride, she hardened herself and nodded seriously, "Alright then." She watched Su Can wave as he turned away with Li Han and Xiao Xu walking through the crowd, everything seeming so natural.

Fu Hang drove Song Zhen back to Yushan Villa in his damaged car. Upon arriving at the villa entrance, Song Zhen remained silent and sullen. Fu Hang said, "Don't be angry over such a trivial matter. I'll take your car back for repairs."

Song Zhen picked up her bag, opened the driver's side door, and said with frost in her voice, "No need to bother. I’ll drive it back myself." Fu Hang’s hand trembled slightly before he laughed, "Alright, then I'll come by tomorrow."

"What I mean is, from tomorrow onwards, you are not needed here anymore," Song Zhen said calmly as if declaring a sentence.

“Oh, understood,” Fu Hang stiffly exited the car. He turned back at the villa entrance and asked with trembling voice and reluctance, "Why Is it because of that man today If Miss Song, you have no wish to offend, I can apologize... I can even go to Nan University tomorrow to personally make amends..."rmly followed academic principles except for normal social interactions.
