Chapter 425: Chapter 237: The Little Toad Wants to Do Live Shopping? Sorry, Pay the Exorbitant Penalty First_3
A few grunts and Brother Gang sat up, patting Li Yang’s back, and sighed, "So you see, I’m truly devoted to you; my little tricks might be insignificant among the rich second generation, but to ordinary people, it’s like an overwhelming show of force."
"But this is nothing; with me around, no one in Z City can bully you!"
Brother Gang patted his chest and chuckled sinisterly, "Now, it’s time for us to strike back!"
...
At the girls’ dormitory.
Zhao Xiaodan looked at the brand partner that suddenly backed out and couldn’t help but feel anxious.
But she was helpless, after all, she didn’t read the contract carefully. Even if she stepped on a bunch of pitfalls, she could only grit her teeth and swallow it down.
After all, the contract was clear, and she couldn’t afford the sky-high penalty.
Worse still, when she opened her live stream hoping to hint the top supporter to send gifts, he was nowhere to be found.
The entire live stream brought only a few scattered hearts, nothing close to the usual earnings.
"Damn heavens, are you trying to ruin my path?"
Zhang Xiaodan was about to lose it, but fortunately, she had a backup plan.
Hearing the constant notifications from certain pay apps, her bad mood finally eased a bit.
Clutching her phone, Zhang Xiaodan regained a bit of confidence, "My fate is determined by me, not the heavens! I refuse to believe, damn heavens, you can push me to a dead end!"
Seeing that it was almost time for class, she tidied up a bit and headed to the classroom alone.
The other dorm mates were naturally at the library, burning the midnight oil preparing for graduate exams.
In Zhang Xiaodan’s eyes, these people were foolish, choosing these uncertain paths instead of securing better research places.
"Ultimately, we’re not on the same path, how unfortunate."
With such feelings, she quickly arrived at the classroom.
Not long after, as the teacher hurried in, class began.
However, a few minutes into the class, the front door of the classroom was knocked open.
A few court officials in uniform pushed the door open, greeted the teacher, and turned to ask inside the classroom, "Who is Zhang Xiaodan?"
With this commotion, discussions instantly erupted in the classroom.
"Zhang Xiaodan, who’s Zhang Xiaodan?"
"You don’t know! Are you usually offline? You dummy. She’s the girl from the Art Academy, who after being saved from drowning, turned around and accused the savior of harassment."
"How can you say that? It was clearly the guy who was harassing, how can you twist it so harshly?"
"Hey, let me tell you, ma’am, you’re just surfing online and not reading the official notices, right? The police and school have both issued statements, saying the harassment claims were completely unfounded. What a good punch you threw!"
The classroom was chaotic, and no one responded.
Seeing this, the court staff raised their voice a few decibels and said:
"Who is Zhang Xiaodan? There’s a copy of a lawsuit here that requires your signature."
This time, everyone heard clearly.
Including Zhang Xiaodan.
Upon hearing her name called, she lifted her head in confusion, preparing to respond.
But the next moment, she froze in her seat, incredulous, "What? A copy of a lawsuit?"
No one spoke, just staring at her.
Zhang Xiaodan’s mind buzzed; she still couldn’t process what was going on here.
How did she, out of nowhere, get sued?
"Hello, student."
Seeing all eyes on Zhang Xiaodan, the staff member approached her briskly, saying, "Please show your ID or a photo will do."
Meanwhile, another staff member pulled a document from the file and handed it to her.
"Please review this document, and if there are no issues, sign and seal here."
"I...did something wrong?"
Zhang Xiaodan’s expression was a bit flustered; after all, it was her first time encountering such a situation.
Normal college students would naturally be a bit nervous when encountering terms like lawsuit, court, signing, and sealing.
"It’s okay, student."
The staff member handing the document explained patiently, "This document merely means you’ve been sued by someone; it doesn’t imply anything else."
"Once you sign and seal, this document takes effect, and you must submit your defense to the court within 15 working days. You will be notified three days before the court date."
Upon hearing this explanation, Zhang Xiaodan did not calm down; instead, she grew even more anxious. Nervously, she asked the court official, "Uncle, what did I do wrong? Why am I being sued?"
"The lawsuit clearly states the reason. Take a look at the notice yourself."
The court official’s tone was calm, without any emotional fluctuation.
For people like them, Zhang Xiaodan’s case was nothing surprising.
"The plaintiff is Li Yang, Li Yang? The defendant...me? Didn’t he sign a letter of understanding and agree not to sue me?"
Seeing the plaintiff’s name, Zhang Xiaodan’s teeth clenched in anger, and she continued reading: "...invasion of privacy, damage to personal honor..."
Zhang Xiaodan’s mind was a mess, and when she saw these words, she couldn’t help but read them aloud.
The voice wasn’t low, sparking a surge of curiosity among her classmates, who turned their heads to see what was happening.
Some even took out their phones to record the scene, hoping to share the gossip with more people.
"Oh, Li Yang is a real man! I thought he wouldn’t dare to sue the little troublemaker!"
"Hehe, I heard that after Li Yang saved Zhang Xiaodan from drowning, she turned around and falsely accused him, but later evidence proved her accusation baseless, and she finally went quiet."
