Chapter 779: Chapter 779: The Childhood Sweetheart Gets Married (5)

”Who is Xu Jiahuan?”

As Chuzheng took her seat, before Jiang Jin even had a chance to ask her what Teacher Qiu had wanted her to do at the office, Chuzheng unexpectedly asked a question.

”Xu Jiahuan?” Jiang Jin said, ”Why do you ask about her? Did you run into her? Has she been causing you trouble?!”

Jiang Jin fired off three questions in a row.

Chuzheng: ”...”

She’s pretty quick on the draw with that logical reasoning.

Chuzheng pulled out a book and started to read.

Seeing that Chuzheng wasn’t paying attention to her, Jiang Jin got back to the point: ”Xu Jiahuan is Xu Qingzi’s sister.”

Chuzheng: ”Blood-related?”

Jiang Jin rolled her eyes: ”Of course not, how could that be. Xu Jiahuan is... a child born from a mistress.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Don’t lie to me, from the incident just now, Xu Qingzi seemed more like the one born from a mistress!

The child of a mistress is older than Xu Qingzi, who is born of the legal wife?

The ways of the wealthy are truly fearsome.

”I’m not exactly sure about the details, but that child of the mistress is pretty arrogant. Don’t be fooled by how Xu Qingzi struts around the class like she’s someone special; in front of Xu Jiahuan, she always ends up on the losing side, which is why she especially hates running into Xu Jiahuan at school.”

She hates it even more when people bring it up.

There’s no wall in the world that doesn’t have ears, and everyone had heard rumors and sometimes would discuss them in private.

”Why are you suddenly asking about her? Did Xu Jiahuan cause trouble for you? I heard she likes Yan Xiu...”

Jiang Jin’s mind began to conjure up possibilities.

”No,” Chuzheng replied.

”Then why do you ask about her?”

”Just asking,” Chuzheng stopped Jiang Jin with a raised hand: ”Class is starting.”

Jiang Jin: ”...”

Nowadays, my little buddy doesn’t tell me anything.

-

After school, Xu Qingzi walked over to Chuzheng with her schoolbag in hand and sat down across from her with a plop.

Jiang Jin jumped in surprise.

This proud little princess, who usually kept to herself and barely had any friends...

The ones who fawned over her don’t count, of course.

Why was she suddenly sitting down opposite her with such an aggressive air?

Chuzheng had just been asking about Xu Jiahuan...

Jiang Jin watched Xu Qingzi warily: ”What are you doing, Xu Qingzi?”

Xu Qingzi gave her a glance, didn’t utter a word, then turned her head to look at Chuzheng.

Chuzheng handed over the homework assigned by the teacher to her, and Xu Qingzi stuffed it into her bag with a sniff, then stood up and left without a word.

There was no exchange between them.

It was as if they had an unspoken agreement.

Jiang Jin: ”...”

What, what’s going on here?!

”Xiao Chu, since when have you been so close with her?” Her little buddy apparently had other dogs now!

Jiang Jin felt sour like a lemon.

Chuzheng replied indifferently: ”Not close.”

”You’re fooling ghosts?!” Jiang Jin said, ”If you’re not close, why did you hand her the homework? No... Why did you give her the homework?”

Chuzheng hadn’t responded when a loud bang followed.

Bang!

The back door of the classroom was kicked open, and the students who were exiting didn’t dare go that way, instead turning back to leave through the front door.

”Yao Chuzheng!”

Someone called for Chuzheng.

Jiang Jin saw the person at the door, her expression changed slightly: ”Xiao Chu, it’s Xiao Mei.”

”Who?”

”Yan Xiu’s number-one fangirl!”

Chuzheng turned her head to have a look.

Several girls were standing at the back door, one of whom was quite outstanding, probably the ringleader.

That girl was also quite pretty, looking somewhat familiar...

Chuzheng turned her head back, unfazed: ”Don’t know her.”

”This is bad, she’s definitely here to pick a fight with you.”

Chuzheng methodically packed up her things, grasping the anxious Jiang Jin, and headed toward the front door to leave.

At the back door, Xiao Mei glared, a surge of fury and disbelief rising within her.

She actually dared to ignore me!

”Yao Chuzheng, stop right there!”

Xiao Mei called out coquettishly.

Chuzheng walked even faster, Xiao Mei cursed under her breath, and her entourage chased down the hallway to block their path.

The students in the hallway hurriedly stepped aside.

Those who hadn’t left the classroom all shrank back inside, not daring to come out.

Xiao Mei wasn’t much, but she had a brother who was the school’s little tyrant; nobody dared to provoke him.

”I’m calling you and you still dare to run? You’re pretty bold!” Xiao Mei sneered.

”What do you want?” Blocking someone’s way is very impolite, an action worthy of being hit.

Xiao Mei, with the air of a gang leader, crossed her arms: ”Yao Chuzheng, let’s go, I want to have a nice chat with you.”

I’m not familiar with you, what’s there to talk about?

Even if you’re pretty, that doesn’t mean you can just chat with me whenever you like!

Chuzheng let go of Jiang Jin, who clung to her arm and said defiantly, ”Xiao Mei, don’t go too far, we’re at school, and the teachers haven’t left yet.”

”What’s it to you.”

”You better not bully Xiao Chu!”

”Oh my, I didn’t see that coming, you’re quite righteous,” Xiao Mei scoffed. ”Then you might as well come along.”

Chuzheng pulled Jiang Jin behind her and kicked the nearest girl.

The girl was caught unprepared, toppled to the ground by Chuzheng’s kick, and let out a cry of pain, stunning the onlookers so much their jaws almost dropped.

Taking advantage of the other girls’ shock, Chuzheng acted swiftly and decisively, knocking them all to the ground, including Xiao Mei, who lay in a neat row on the floor.

Chuzheng approached Xiao Mei and squatted down with a cool pose: ”What was it that you wanted to talk to me about?”

”Yao Chuzheng, you dare hit me...”

”I’ve already hit you.” The deed is done; what’s there to fear?

”...” Xiao Mei was rendered speechless, glaring furiously at her: ”If you dare touch me today, I’ll make sure you can’t stay in this school tomorrow.”

”Wow, you’re so powerful.” Chuzheng complimented her insincerely.

Xiao Mei: ”...”

Has she lost her mind?

”What are you doing here?”

A teacher’s voice scolded them.

Chuzheng immediately stood up, posing with graceful poise as if she had not been the one to start a fight just moments ago.

Teacher Qiu came from behind the students, saw Xiao Mei and others on the ground, and his face immediately darkened: ”What is this? Fighting?”

Without changing her expression, Chuzheng fibbed: ”Teacher, they said it’s cooler on the floor, so they wanted to lie down for a while.”

Teacher Qiu: ”...”

Xiao Mei: ”...”

The crowd: ”...”

Xiao Mei wanted to tattle, but she was somehow unable to speak up.

Chuzheng glared at her icily.

The look in her eyes intimidated Xiao Mei.

It felt as if an invisible pair of hands were choking her throat.

Chuzheng held up a facade of seriousness, and Teacher Qiu looked back and forth between the silent Xiao Mei and the surrounding students.

”No, Teacher, it was Yao Chuzheng who started hitting people.” A student snitched.

Chuzheng glanced in the direction of the snitch, whose face showed a provocative expression. But when she met Chuzheng’s gaze, the provocativeness froze, as if a chill had swept across her spine.

”Hitting people?” the teacher asked Chuzheng. ”You dared to hit someone in the school?”

”I didn’t hit anyone,” Chuzheng denied.

”Then why are they on the ground? Huh?”

”Like I said, they thought the floor was cooler.”

”...” The teacher was so frustrated he felt a stomachache. Which class does this student belong to? She dared to blatantly lie in front of a teacher.

”Is that so?”

Chuzheng asked Xiao Mei and the others on the ground.

No!

Xiao Mei screamed internally, but she couldn’t vocalize it.

Not only that, Xiao Mei nodded in agreement with what Chuzheng had said.

Teacher Qiu: ”...”

The crowd: ”...”
