Gu Ning looked at Li Fen from Class 25, Du Lanzhi's former lackey, and sneered, "Why are you here?"

Li Fen stiffened her neck and asked, "Why can't I be here? My grades are higher than the admission score, and I can also take out a loan to go to school."

Gu Ning put down the application form in his hand and said, "I will not approve your application. You don't need to waste your time here."

Li Fen, "Gu Ning, you are seeking revenge for your personal gain!"

Gu Ning crossed his arms and said, "You know we have a grudge, so how dare you come here?"

"Have you forgotten that you, Sun Fang, and Du Lanzhi bullied me?"

Li Fen said nonchalantly, "That's all in the past. How can you be so narrow-minded that you still can't forget such a small thing?"

Gu Ning stood up at once, "Because you are the bully, not the victim. Your words passed by lightly, but they left a shadow on the victim that he will never be able to erase in his life."

Li Fen looked at Gu Ning and said, "I don't think you have any shadows. Besides, every time we fight you, we are the ones who suffer. What kind of shadows can you have? What kind of harm?"

"Besides, Du Lanzhi is dead now. Why are you still fussing over a dead person?"

Gu Ning sneered, "But you and Sun Fang are still alive."

Li Fen, "Gu Ning, Du Lanzhi is the mastermind behind bullying you. I am at most a minor accomplice. You have also beaten us, so we are even now."

Gu Ning, we are even in this life, but not in the last life.

"There is no evenness here for me, some damage has already been done and for the victims, there is no such thing as the past."

"It's not like you, a bully, can just let it go."

Li Fen said loudly, "What else do you want?"

Li Fen's mother also said, "Student Gu Ning, my Li Fen was just playing with you. It's normal for children to fight and quarrel. Don't take it to heart."

Gu Ning, "Auntie, I am a very petty person. I have mentioned the names of those who have bullied me thousands of times a day. I will always remember those who have bullied me."

"So you two shouldn't waste your time here. I won't lend you any money."

When Li Fen heard that Gu Ning was unwilling to lend her money, she became anxious. If she couldn't continue her studies, her father would definitely make her get married early to earn the dowry money.

She didn't want to get married too early, she wanted to continue studying. Li Fen knew that the only way for children from poor families to have a future was to study, and studying was the fastest way to change their destiny.

She tried to curry favor with Du Lanzhi just to get money from her. Du Lanzhi was very generous and sometimes the tips she gave them were equivalent to their living expenses for a month.

Li Fen believed that as long as she followed Du Lanzhi and supported her, Du Lanzhi would be willing to spend money to let her go to high school with her.

Li Fen followed Du Lanzhi and did a lot of bad things, bullying many classmates, but she only suffered at the hands of Gu Ning.

Du Lanzhi even lost her life.

Now that Li Fen’s financial sponsor is gone, she originally thought that she would have no chance to continue studying. Unexpectedly, Gu Ning would provide interest-free loans to her classmates, so Li Fen came here to apply.

Who knew that Gu Ning was so vindictive that he didn't even want to lend her the money.

"Gu Ning, what exactly do you want in exchange for lending me the money?"

Gu Ning said firmly, "You don't stand a chance with me at all, so don't waste our time here."

"Next!"

Li Fen walked out in a daze.

A man in the crowd behind followed Li Fen out.

Li Fen's mother followed her and said, "Fen, if you don't want to study, then don't study. Look at the society, many people don't have much education, but they still make a lot of money."

"Mom, you're talking about probability. If only one person out of a hundred makes money, you think studying is useless."

“But out of a hundred people who read, ninety percent can live well.”

Li Fen's mother said, "We don't have the money to let you continue your studies. Your brother will take the college entrance examination next year, and there are many things to spend money on."

"Fen, you should go out and work, and then in two years, find someone to marry."

"It's not easy for your father and I to raise you. The betrothal gift cannot be less than 50,000 yuan."

Li Fen turned to look at her mother and said, "Mom, if I can graduate from college, I can earn you 100,000 or 50,000 yuan."

Li Fen's mother said, "That's because we don't have any money now!"

"Mom, you don't have to follow me. I'm going out for a walk by myself."

After saying that, Li Fen turned around and left, no matter what her mother said behind her.

After walking for a while, Li Fen found someone following her, and she ran away in fear.

When she got tired of running, she stopped and squatted on the ground to rest.

A pair of men's feet appeared in front of Li Fen. Li Fen looked up and saw a short and fat middle-aged man.

His eyes narrowed into a line and he looked around furtively.

Greasy hair stuck to the scalp, as if it hadn't been washed in days.

His face was covered with uneven beard and there was a lewd smile on the corner of his mouth.

His hands are always groping restlessly, which makes people shudder.

Li Fen asked in a trembling voice, "Uncle, why are you following me?"

"Little girl, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I'm here to help you realize your dream."

"Don't you want to continue your studies? Gu Ning is unwilling to lend you money for schooling. I can help you finish college without you having to pay for it."

Li Fen stood up and said, "Uncle, we don't know each other, but you are so kind as to sponsor me to go to college. How can such a good thing fall from the sky?"

The uncle cleared his throat and said, "Li Fen, my name is Ma Tao, you can call me Uncle Ma."

"How do you know my name is Li Fen? Are you following me?"

Ma Tao waved his hand. "I just found out your name. I followed Gu Ning to the No. 1 Middle School in the county and saw that Gu Ning was unwilling to lend you money for school."

"I felt sorry for you. You wanted to go to school so badly, but Gu Ning refused to lend you money because of such a small matter. I was so angry that I followed you out."

"I hate to see little girls being wronged, so I decided to sponsor your studies and help you realize your dream."

Li Fen asked cautiously, "What are your conditions?"

Ma Tao combed his hair with his short fat fingers and said, "Li Fen, my conditions are not high. All I want is for you to keep an eye on Gu Ning and Shui Mutian for me."

"I will arrange for you to be in the same class with Gu Ning. You just need to help me keep an eye on Gu Ning and Shui Mutian's every move. You need to report to me about their situation every week."

"Can you do this?"

Li Fen asked uncertainly, "Is this all right? No other requirements?"

Ma Tao touched his hair and said, "That's all I ask!"

Li Fen, "Let me go home and think about it, and then I'll give you an answer."
