Chapter 123 : Eat Your Medicine, You Dunce! 4 (2/2)
Ji Xiaoyu gave Shi Sheng a final look before heading upstairs in a huff. Shi Sheng rolled her eyes speechlessly.
The next morning, Shi Sheng made sure to leave earlier. Ji Xiaoyu arrived after she did, once she had already found her class and taken a seat.
“Remember to focus on your studies. Especially for a certain student who doesn’t have anything else but grades.” The teacher spoke in an unpleasant tone.
The entire class chuckled lowly. Ji Xiaoyu was enraged and humiliated as she angrily muttered inwardly, ‘So what if you have money?! All that money still belongs to your parents! Bunch of parasites! Without your parents, you’d be nothing!’
Bei Zhi and Bei Ze were in the same grade while Ji Xiaoyu was in freshman high so Shi Sheng ended up attending the same class as Bei Ze.
Her arrival caused quite a commotion in class; after all, Bei Zhi was quite the looker. When he saw more and more people surrounding her, Bei Ze’s expression got worse. In the end, he kicked his desk before storming out of the classroom in a rage.
The noise caused by his actions caused the entire classroom to quiet down and look towards the direction he had stormed off in.
“What’s with Bei-shao?”
“No idea, he just suddenly blew his top… Could it be because of Ji Xiaoyu’s matter? I heard she was behind the whole thing.”
“Hadn’t expect Ji Xiaoyu to be so scheming. And here I was thinking she was rather pitiful when others bullied her but now it looks like she deserved it!”
“Why do you think she spent so much effort on getting the grades to enroll here? Of course it’s for the sake of finding a rich guy so she wouldn’t have to worry about money anymore!”
Shi Sheng didn’t have anything to say to these brats so she just spoke some perfunctory words. Seeing her being so lofty, they lost interest in striking up a conversation and scattered.
In the afternoon when Shi Sheng went to the cafeteria for lunch, she watched from afar as Ji Xiaoyu was slapped by someone. At the same time, food was scattered on the ground.
“What are you guys saying? I didn’t seduce him! It was him who—”
“You’re not about to say it was Bei-shao who seduced you, are you?” The girl who slapped Ji Xiaoyu laughed coldly as she interrupted her before continuing in a voice filled with ridicule, “Ji Xiaoyu, just who do you think you are?”
“No, it’s not that I- I have nothing to do with him.” Ji Xiaoyu’s eyes were red from anxiety. “Don’t just spout nonsense.”
“If there was nothing between the two of you, why would Bei-shao have let you sit on his family’s car? Ji Xiaoyu, did you use some underhanded methods to seduce him?!”
“I didn’t.” Ji Xiaoyu shook her head. She suddenly spotted Bei Zhi at the back of the crowd and looked as if she had seen her saviour. She pushed the crowd aside and sprinted over. “Hurry up and explain to them that I sat on your car yesterday.”
“Who’s that? She’s so pretty!” Someone in the crowd couldn’t help but sigh in praise.
“Bei-shao’s younger sister. She only just transferred here today.”
“Bei-shao has a sister? She really looks like she’s his sister! She’s so pretty and her temperament matches too!”
“Hurry up and tell them that I really didn’t come here in Bei Ze’s car yesterday.” Seeing Bei Zhi wasn’t speaking, Ji Xiaoyu was getting a bit anxious.
Shi Sheng had always wondered who was the one breaking their setting in this world. Well, now she knew.
In this kind of situation, the female lead should either stay silent or pick a fight with them instead of asking Bei Zhi to help her speak up in such a humble manner!
Though the character setting was defined by the author, the author couldn’t control how much they broke the setting. As long as there was the tiniest change to the overall setting, it was possible for the character setting to warp in any number of ways.
Even a single choice could influence a lot of people.
With all that nonsense out of the way, Shi Sheng only had one thought in mind, ‘Let’s get this female lead to fall from grace!’
