Chapter 984


    Zuko was stunned.


    “My ss starts at 8:30 a.m., and it’s already 8:20 a.m.” Lina felt troubled. “I need it for the third period.


    I—”


    Zuko turned around and departed without saying another word, leaving her standing there alone.


    Lina stood there, lost in thought. She couldn’t seem toprehend this man’s intentions… After


    arriving in the ssroom, she still had five minutes to spare. She took a bite of her gran bar and


    noticed that it contained sugar, yet it failed to taste sweet.

    As the third period approached, Lina struggled to focus. The lecturer’s words felt like rocket science to


    her. She filled her mind with excuses for potentially being unable to submit her homework on time.


    During a break, she made a quick visit to the bathroom.


    Upon her return, Gia intercepted her outside the ssroom. “Lina!”


    “Hmm?” Lina was stunned. “What’s up?”


    “Don’t… go in yet.” Gia looked rather odd.


    Lina looked into the ssroom.


    Violet was spewing nonsense. “I guess you guys didn’t know that Lina is already married!”


    Those ssmates who loved to gossip gathered.


    “Do you know who her husband is? That man used to be the Grist Group’s truck driver before. He was


    a delivery man! Ha! He’s always quiet with a grim face on. He’s no different than a mute person, so


    everyone calls him a fool! Hahaha!”


    Her voice was shrill. It was extra harsh even in the rather noisy ssroom.


    Lina clenched her fists, and her shoulders shuddered out of control.


    “Ridiculous!” Gia yelled while looking at the ssroom. “Ignore her, Lina! She’s like a crazy dog now.


    She—”


    Lina rushed in before Gia could finish.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All

    Although Lina was not a troublemaker, she was not a pushover either.


    Moreover, ss was starting soon. Violet did not own the ssroom, so why could she not enter?


    Lina stirred quite amotion as she returned to her seat. The gossiping quiet that they could hear


    everyone’s breathing.


    To these wealthy students, Lina was an alien, so the person she married was even stranger than she


    was.


    They had never treated her as their own and would look at her in curiosity and pity. The better ones


    would respect her and maintain their distance.


    The terrible ones, like Violet, would mock her and humiliate her. Even worse, they would shun her.


    Lina did not care about how people looked at her. All she cared about was doing well, as her parents


    had spent a lot to get her into this university.


    However, she could not learn in peace now.


    Violet scoffed, walked to her, knocked on her table, and said sarcastically. “Hey Lina, tell us about your


    husband, will you? What made you fall for him?”


    Lina ignored her.


    “Do you know this?” Violet intentionally raised her voice. “Your husband used to be in prison. Did you


    know that?”


    The ssmates gasped. Everyone stared at Lina as if there were thorns in their eyes.


    Lina took a deep breath in and red fiercely at Violet.


    “Why are you looking at me?” This was the exact reaction Violet wanted. “I’m right about this! Lina,


    you’re married. You should share your romantic experience with your ssmates, right? How did you


    end up marrying such a man?


    “Hey, is it super exciting to marry someone who was in prison before?


    “How’s your husband feeding you since he’s not working? Lina, why don’t I be generous and let him


    continue being the Grist Group’s driver?


    “Hey, I’m talking to you! You—”


    “I heard you.” Lina looked calm as she enunciated each word. “I heard every single word you said, but


    I’m sorry to say that although I heard you, I don’t understand you!”


    “What do you mean?”


    “What I mean is…” Lina scoffed. “I’m a human, so I don’t understand a dog’s barks!”
