True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (10)
Chu Xiang got even Wang Shasha to think, let alone others. Just as the morning reading time ended, classmates in the class whispered and discussed. Some went out to discuss, all talking about the question raised by Chu Xiang.
Approaching those who have bullied oneself time and time again, wasn’t that despicable?
Not believing her own sister but trusting the suspicions of classmates, it was like having plastic sisterhood.
Feeling indebted for accommodating the other person’s every action, hence repaying grievances with kindness was understandable. However, sincerely caring for the other person like this seemed a bit too fake, didn’t it?
The most crucial point was that not a single person has actually witnessed Chu Xiang doing something bad. Chu Xiang adamantly claimed it wasn’t her. Despite this, was she just making baseless claims or was there someone else who was responsible for the misdeeds?
If there was someone else responsible for the misdeeds and they were hiding so well, that was also quite frightening, isn’t it?
Chu Xiang’s words have stirred up the hearts of the entire class, causing them to be less focused during class than usual. Their gazes occasionally drifted towards Chu Xiang and Chu Xuan. However, they did notice that Chu Xiang was very serious and diligent in class, unusually diligent, as if… she was extremely eager for knowledge.
Every time the dismissal bell rang, Chu Xiang was the first one to rush to the teacher and ask questions. Some observant students in the front row noticed that her thick notebook actually contained records of the questions she didn’t understand in various subjects. The questions weren’t very difficult, but it was normal for her to struggle to keep up due to her previous poor school. Surprisingly, regardless of the subject, whenever the teacher explained it to her, she immediately grasped the concept. Several teachers have praised her.
Sitting behind Chu Xiang was the class representative named Yang Xueqing. She had fair skin, a slightly plump figure, and didn’t engage much in gossip or discussions. She simply enjoyed studying and was the top student in the class. When Chu Xiang asked the homeroom teacher a question after class, but didn’t have enough time to finish, the teacher called on Yang Xueqing’s name and told Chu Xiang to ask her if she had any further doubts.
Yang Xueqing has been sitting behind Chu Xiang for three months, and her impression of her was that she was quiet and rarely raised her head. She hasn’t had a clear view of Chu Xiang’s face, let alone exchanged a few words. Today, when Chu Xiang suddenly spoke so much, it surprised her. When she personally experienced her intelligence while explaining the problem to her, she couldn’t help but ask, “You learn very quickly. If you had been studying like this since you transferred, you wouldn’t have ranked last in the previous two monthly exams.”
Chu Xiang replied while calculating a problem, “I come from a small place. It’s my first time experiencing such a good school, such good desks, and such good teachers and classmates. I felt nervous and afraid of making a fool of myself. I didn’t dare to interact with teachers and classmates much, and I didn’t dare to ask questions about the things I didn’t understand.”
Nearby classmates pretended to be reading while listening to her speak. Yang Xueqing asked again, “Then why did you…?”
Yang Xueqing was one of the few people in the class who has never spoken ill of Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang smiled at her and said, “That’s because I had a near-death experience yesterday. It was quite scary at the time, as if the whole world was getting farther and farther away from me, and I couldn’t come back. I thought I was going to die, and the only thought in my mind at that moment was…”
Chu Xiang paused, and curiosity was aroused among her classmates. A group of three or five students asked together, “What is it?”
“Why aren’t I studying properly when I had finally have such good teachers! Education can change lives, you know!”
Everyone thought she would say something mysterious and extraordinary. Even students who were a bit further away perked up their ears to listen. But what they heard was an unexpected dose of motivation? Regretting not studying well, what was that all about? Is it only when you are on the brink of death that you ponder over such matters?
Wang Shasha glanced at Chu Xiang’s clothes and disdainfully looked away. “You sure know how to make things up. Who in the world can change their life as much as you claim?”
Chu Xiang nodded. “You’re right. If that hospital hadn’t made a mistake 17 years ago, I could have started studying with good teachers since my kindergarten years. I could have learned the best etiquette, made the best friends, and become a pure and innocent little princess. That hospital truly changed my life, leaving me with nothing but the determination to study hard now.”
She smiled at Yang Xueqing and said, “Thank you for helping me with the problems.”
Before everyone could fully react to her words, she had already turned back and focused on solving the questions. The level of concentration she displayed made it seem like anyone who disturbed her studies was committing a grave sin, leaving no room to doubt her passion for learning.
Wang Shasha wasn’t able to retort, but she felt even more frustrated than ever. She wanted to point out that Chu Xiang had transformed from a country bumpkin to a rich lady, so why was she still talking about studying and learning? How hypocritical. However, after hearing Chu Xiang’s words, she couldn’t help but think, Yeah, if the two families hadn’t made a mistake 17 years ago, Chu Xiang would be the beloved pearl of the Chu family, living a happy and pampered life. Chu Xiang becoming a rich lady was just returning to her original position. It was nothing to mock. On the contrary, when Chu Xiang mentioned that she was now left with only studying, it inexplicably evoked a sense of loneliness.
Chu Xuan keenly noticed that some of her classmates were no longer as hostile towards Chu Xiang. She had worked hard for three months to isolate Chu Xiang, and now it was all undermined by her words. Damn it!
Instead of acting impulsively, she continued to secretly observe Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang had suddenly changed, but was it really because she almost drowned? Going through a near-death experience could cause significant changes in a person, and Chu Xuan believed in that. However, there was another possibility: Could Chu Xiang have been reborn?
She quickly dismissed this speculation because she was the one who had been reborn. In her previous life, the two families had discovered the child mix-up when she was in her first year of university. At that time, she was studying away from home, while Chu Xiang, after graduating from high school, had a difficult time working in Beijing.
