Realizing that they were about to come after her, Yao Ran donned a timid expression and looked up from her desk. "It's not like that at all. I feel terrible for everything that happened to Sister Yao Tang."
Her voice sounded frightened and a little aggrieved.
"Ha! Who knows what you and your family are thinking?" a chubby girl sneered.
"None of you even defended Yao Tang. Instead, you took to the forum to apologize for her behavior. You've basically confirmed that the rumors were real!"
At this point, a good number of her classmates were surrounding Yao Ran, looking at her in disdain.
A pregnant silence fell into the room.
The boys who had been constantly professing their love for Yao Ran sat in their seats and ducked their heads. They liked her, yes, but they weren't fools.
The Yao family had truly gone too far this time.
