Joanne Fu ran towards Song Shi Meng and was panting loudly infront of him. Shi Meng put his cellphone back into his pocket.
Joanne looked at him and said, "I honestly never expected Liu MengYi and Xia Yuni to be such a nasty person. They had always been so nice to me and had helped me all the times. I didn't purposely go against Ruby, I believe what they told me."
Her grandpa has died and the Fu's family is almost bankrupt. If her family hadn't had that economic accident.. if her grandpa didn't blamed himself and committed suicide under great pressure.. she had still been that noble princess.. if.. Joanne Fu was born in a rich family.
One night, she went to a pub and met a pretty lady drinking there alone. That lady was Liu MengYi and later helped her apply for a college scholarship. Liu's family was quite rich and in plastic moulding business. Its was her who had financially helped her at times.
"Don't you get it? It's jealousy. Ruby is better than those two in every way. How can they not be jealous? The only thing I'm surprised by is the extent of her rumors. I can't believe that they're capable of doing something so mean." Shi Meng said to her with a look of disdain on his face.
"My advice.., you better stay away and don't curry flavor them to much. I'm afraid one day, you get into trouble too."
"Yeah. I will think about it." Joanne was horrified by the mere thought of what he said.
'Xia Yuni, Liu MengYi and Yuni's cousin were the one who posted those photographs of Ruby. Like Shi Meng mentioned, I should stay away from them before I got myself into trouble but Liu MengYi's was my life-saver. How could I just ignore her like that.' Joanne thought to herself bluntly.

The next day morning, Lucas still drove Ruby to college as usual but unknown to all, Lucas's gonna make a surprised check later.
Inside Spark International Corporation, Gwen and Sandra were stunned by their boss's words. They had never excepted this bossy man to arrange such a sudden visit to Spark International College, where Ruby's studying.
"Give a calls to Dennis and Beatrice to meet me here in 10 minutes. And get few financial personnel to tag along too.. same as yourself, Sandra." He then passed Dennis new mobile number to Sandra. Also told her that they're now staying at 37th floor upon arrival last night.
"And keep it a secret from Ruby." Sandra and Gwen nodded before heading to their work station.
When he arrived at the Spark International College, there had already been his Secretary Sandra, his right-hand lawyer, Dennis Poon, his sister Beatrice Yii, who also a board committee and some other company's subordinates waiting for him.
"You're five minutes late.. bro." Beatrice giggled before voicing out. Dennis as usual showed no emotion.
"Sorry.. I got caught up with few things. Come, let's go.."
As they walked inside the main hall, Lucas and Dennis appearance caught the attention of many students who were inside the hall.
"President Yii of the City A! He was the most outstanding young master of the Yii family. And there's also the most distinguish lawyer, Dennis Poon.."
Many people exclaimed at their arrival. Even Beatrice and Sandra started to furrow their brows in curiosity.
The Yii family is not an extremely prolific family in Europe but also in City A and they are supremacy super-rich. However, Lucas Yii was the exception. This young man became one of the most influential people in City A since young. He handed multi-business.. apart from the steel industrials that collaborated with Europe side. He single-handed a construction company, few 6 to 7stars hotels, institutions and owned over hundreds of millions of other assets.
Lucas and the rest walked past the students, and into the office where the principal, professors and administrative staff situated.
"Hello.. everyone. Happy New Year!"
The room became pin drop silent. The professors and administrative staff were rendered speechless by what they heard. Hearing his words, everyone flashed a gloating smile on theirs faces. The principal who was in the phone, hurried hang up and walked out of his office.
"President Yii, I didn't expect for your visit today. It is our honor to be visited by your goodself. Come.., come and chat in my office."
His Secretary, Sandra layout the motive of this visit. The annual meeting would be held today. It is to reflect on last year's work and to plan next years tasks. Nonetheless, the meeting was also a cesspool for things from braggings to conceit and anything in between.
Lucas nodded aloofly. Some new and old lady professors had barely caught his attention. It was a rare chance for them to meet someone as high up as President Yii. Thanks to his surprise visit today, they got the opportunity to rub shoulders with him later.
All the students outside the main hall realized what was going on and the surprised appearance of this tycoon, spread throughout the college.
"Who is here?" Ruby asked curiously. Couldn't be, Lucas didn't tell her anything about visiting college. Did she heard wrong?
"The one who owns the Yii International Group? Your President Yii!!! I also heard the distinguish handsome lawyer, Dennis is here too." Fenny replied.
'When did Dennis and Beatrice flew over? How come I don't know?' Ruby thought again.
"President Yii of City A? That handsome President! Why is he here?" Everyones were talking about it.
"Wow!!! I have the chance to see him here. I should try to get closed to him. Maybe, he will get the chance to like me." Even Xia Yuni, Liu MengYi and some other female students were crazy over him.
Ruby looked to them savoring her man, felt angry and frustrated.
