He saw the menstrual blood on her skirt.
They also come from prominent families, understand the connections in officialdom and business circles, and are familiar with going through the back door and giving gifts. After graduating from university, they will walk on the broad road paved by their parents, have a smooth career or take over the family business, and welcome an even brighter tomorrow.
"Ah, is that Dai Lin?" The young lady of the deputy mayor's house, Li Xiangxiang, let out a cry of surprise and immediately stood up, swinging her high ponytail, smiling brightly as she ran over: "Dai Lin, Xiao Han, you guys come quick, Xie Yi and them are talking about you..."
Instead went to pull Xiao Han's hand, completely ignoring Dai Yun.
"What are you talking about?" Xiaohan walked down the stairs and sat among those handsome, noble-looking rich young men. She punched a man named Xie Yi: "Are you comparing me to Dai Lin again? Dai Lin used to be our class flower, whoever dares to compete with her for this throne is just overestimating themselves!"
Li Xiang followed behind her, covering her mouth and laughing, "Really? You guys used to bet on who could chase after Dai Lin first. You boasted that Dai Lin had an angelic face and a devilish figure, and often drove her sports car back home to party... Now you have girlfriends, but you're still comparing our Xiaohan and Dai Lin, aren't you afraid your girlfriends will get jealous?"
Dai Lin was thrown behind, listening to them you one word I one word, steps walking more difficult.
They were making a big deal out of her past, using it as a laughing stock, and she had to silently accept it in this situation. Because these are all unerasable facts.
She didn't finish college, went to jail, had a record, caused her father's death and ruined her family, but she still wants to live with dignity.
"My dad arranged for me to work in an office, and I'm starting tomorrow. Although the job is stable and the salary isn't bad, after the internship, I can get a formal position and step up gradually. But it's so boring, just sitting there every day."
As soon as they saw that the old lady and the secretary were not around, several officials' daughters started chatting enthusiastically. They sat around Xiaohan, whispering in her ear one moment and bursting into loud laughter the next, their eyes shining with amusement as they looked at Daiyun: "Daiyun, you've graduated too, where are you planning to work? Do you want me to introduce you to a job? My dad said his company is short of a janitor, no education required, having been in prison doesn't matter..."
Xiao Han also didn't stop her, elegantly eating watermelon and waiting for Dai Yun to explode.
Three years ago, Dai Lina was so arrogant. This group of rich girls, whoever dared to scold her, she would hit them, especially not allowing anyone to scold her for pursuing Tan Rui Zhe, not allowing anyone to scold her for being overbearing and having no upbringing because of her mother's teachings, and bringing up her mayor father to pressure others whenever something happened. Otherwise, she would make the other party suffer.
At that time, Xiaohan and Dai Lin were the ordinary flowers of the class. One was the secretary's daughter, with a delicate face and a gentle personality. The other was the mayor's daughter, with a porcelain doll-like face, who could stir up waves no matter what she did. With their identities unmatched by anyone else, they became the biggest sensation on campus.
Han is naturally gentle and humble, never putting on airs, and has won the affection of her friends, having a good relationship with others; while Dai is overbearing and tyrannical, feared by everyone, and female friends actively keep their distance from her.
Now three years have passed and everyone's impression of her is still that of the Su Daiyun who drove a sports car around campus.
"Dai Lin, why aren't you saying anything? I remember that year you vowed to catch Tan Rui Zhe and become his wife, then settle down with him in Beijing." Xia Li, the daughter of the Jin City Public Security Bureau director, covered her mouth and giggled, leaning over to join Xiao Han and Li Xiang Xiang, "Marrying Tan Rui Zhe would be so glorious! She'd be both a government official's wife and a boss's wife. It's said that Old Man Tan is in Zhongnanhai, with high status and great power..."
"So our Xiaohan also wants to marry Teng Rui Zhe..." Li Xiangxiang took over the conversation and flattered, but was secretly glared at by Xiaohan, and quickly changed her words: "Who wouldn't want to marry such an excellent man? I, Xiaoli, also want to marry him, but the key is that Teng Rui Zhe doesn't take a liking to us. My dad is just the vice mayor of Jin City, not even close to the level of a Beijing official, who dares to aim high at the Teng family. Look at Dai Lin, you were also the daughter of a mayor back then, and still couldn't get him after all that fuss and burning his girlfriend..."
As soon as the words fell, several women burst into suppressed laughter, and their sarcastic eyes turned to Dai Yun, relentless.
Dai Lin lowered her gaze to the ground and didn't say a word from start to finish. She got up and left.
Xiao Han saw that she didn't explode, and calmly got up. She used a tissue to wipe the watermelon juice off her slender fingers and said: "Xiang Xiang, Xia Li, are you done yet? You've eaten watermelon! Dai Lin, don't take it to heart, these two are spoiled rich girls, talking nonsense!"
Dai Lian's heart was heavy with difficulties, but she couldn't help but respond to Xiao Han with a faint smile. Under the gaze of five or six pairs of eyes filled with ridicule and sarcasm, she slowly went upstairs.
Her dignity was destroyed when she set that fire, three years of prison life made her think of humility instead of counterattack when facing these cold jokes and hot ridicule.
What's the point of arguing, they're all telling the truth. These young ladies just want to vent their anger and get back at her for what she did to them in the past, while Su Daiyu has no choice but to survive.
"Night Rong Auntie, where's my dad? He took Rui Zhe out and hasn't come back yet?" Xiaohan turned to ask Zhang Night Rong, who was still standing in the hall, and got up from her seat. "Oh, it seems like Brother Rui Zhe forgot his coat, I'll take it to him!"
"Miss, don't go out! The secretary said before going out that he would take Mr. Teng for a walk and leave the living room to Miss's classmates, and he will be back soon!"
Just as Zhang Ye Rong was speaking, the sound of Secretary going out and coming back again came from the door, his voice like a bell, laughing loudly: "Ah, my precious daughter is still having a gathering with her classmates, it seems that I and Rui Zhe came back too early."
"Dad!" Xiaohan pouted, rushing over and gazing up at Teng Rui Zhe who was a head taller than her: "Rui Zhe brother, I thought you were gone and got heartbroken for a while."
Tall and handsome Tian Rui Zhe quietly looked at her, his thin lips curled up into a smile.
She immediately looked up and gazed forward, seeing Dai Lin walking down the stairs. Her white skirt had a large patch of blood on it, staining an entire side red. Her delicate figure seemed weak and frail, as if she might fall over at any moment, a stark contrast to her energetic appearance three years ago. The men and women sitting on the sofa were secretly laughing, mocking the stain on her skirt that was still fresh after all these months.
