Staring blankly into Quan Jin’s eyes, the butler felt slightly at a loss for words.
Miss Quan Jin… that whole arrogant and assertive tone. It felt so familiar!
The butler was almost brought to tears.
“Miss Quan Jin You’ve recovered, you’ve really recovered.”
“I thought…I thought–” He thought everything the servant had told him wasn’t true.
From that moment, no matter what Quan Jin said, every servant, stakeholder, elder that was loyal to her would believe in her unconditionally, because she was Quan Jin!

Two days had passed.
The butler had already told the vice-captain to arrest Mr and Mrs Quan the night before. In the meantime, Quan Jin was cooped up in her room trying to create the antidote.
Early in the morning, Quan Jin, accompanied by the butler, drove to school. The speed at which the car travelled at made it a truly harrowing journey for the butler.
Swoosh!
The silver sports car came to a stop at the entrance of the institution.
Many elites that had driven there in their luxurious cars, though those were pretty much a common sight. The better ones would have only cost a few million dollars maximum.
“Wh–What car is this? It’s so cool! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one like this in Jiang, and the color of it… probably some rich kids transferring to our school today.”
“I know this car! It’s a Bugatti Veyron, customized overseas. It’s not even available in Hua.”
Bugatti Veyron?
Those who knew a thing or two about luxury cars were aware of the reputation of Bugatti overseas. It wasn’t a car that could be custom-made with money alone. The owners had to be some powerful individuals.
The door of the car opened. Quan Jin removed her keys as she got off, looking toward the pale butler, “Hurry up, get out of the car!”
The butler, still in shock from the journey, stuttered, “Y–yes Miss Quan. Miss, aren’t we acting a little too high profile?”
Quan Jin closed the door as she replied, “If I’m going to be held back just because of a few odd stares, I’d rather not live that life.”
The butler stared deeply at Quan Jin in awe and respect, more than he had ever done before.
“Quan Jin?! The peasant who was at An’s beck and call? How could she be in such a car?” Some of the students looking at her car could recognize her.
A regular person would always have an inferiority complex when meeting someone richer than them. The fifty-year-old man that alighted from the car looked quite charismatic while dressed in an expensive-looking customized suit.
Quan Jin, on the other hand…
“Quan Jin, do you have no shame? An Yunnuan was hospitalized because of you, the An Corporation had just exploded yesterday and has now shut down. Yet, you still show up at school!”
“Typical of a homewrecker like her. With a face like hers, imagine the amount of work she had to put in just to become a sugar baby!”
Have you ever experienced something like this?
When you’re known to others as a peasant and you alight such a luxurious car, the sheer number of eyes tearing at you, blatantly belittling you. If that were to happen to a man though, they’d receive all the recognition and admiration from those people.
A female alighting a luxurious car made her a sugar baby, while a man doing the same would mean success and nobility.
Normalizing such deviance… that was blatant discrimination.
“Miss Quan…”
The butler would have never thought that Quan Jin had been leading such a life in school. He was visibly upset and slightly guilty as he muttered, “You’ve suffered. It is bold of them to speak like this to you, I will immediately call–”
Quan Jin waved him off.
She twirled her keys around her fingers and demanded, “Those people who were just now barking like mad dogs, show yourselves!”
