True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (42)
She always liked to achieve multiple goals with one action. Blackmailing someone wasn’t done casually. In her past life, she firmly held the position of the top talent manager. Operating these things was her specialty. Did Chu Xuan, a mere second-tier celebrity, really think she could excel in all areas? Chu Xuan probably couldn’t even fathom what Chu Xiang had in mind.
After the afternoon teacher finished class, she asked Chu Xiang in front of their classmates if she wanted to go home and pack her belongings. Chu Xiang hesitated for a moment, shook their head, indicating that she could just buy new things and hoped to move in that evening.
Her expression was quite convincing. She appeared suppressing her sadness and showing strength and stubbornness. This attitude of not even wanting to return home not only didn’t make people dislike her, but it also made people involuntarily feel sorry for her and lament her circumstances. It was obvious that she should be a wealthy heiress who could inherit billions of assets. How did she inexplicably become a pitiable person?
The homeroom teacher mentioned these things in class to demonstrate the teachers’ attitude and care for Chu Xiang. Regardless of the classmates’ backgrounds, there was still some respect for teachers in school. Students whom the teachers cared about and paid attention to generally wouldn’t be bullied or have gossip spread about them.
The teacher just hoped to reduce the number of people gossiping about Chu Xiang and make her life in the class a bit easier.
Once the teacher left, Chu Xiang felt a hand gripping her arm hanging by her side. She lowered her head and saw Shao Yan holding onto her sleeve.
She looked at him in confusion and saw him tightly pursing his lips, staring at the textbook on the table. Considering his behavior of pulling her sleeve the previous night when he wanted to take her somewhere, she quickly guessed his thoughts and asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to go to your house and hang out with you? Or do you want to help me by providing a place to stay?”
That was exactly what Shao Yan meant. If the Chu family didn’t want her, he did. Didn’t he already share the third floor with her? Why should she stay at the school?
Chu Xiang didn’t want others to overhear, so she leaned in closer and whispered, “I can’t keep going to your house. Even if I do go, I can’t let anyone find out.”
Shao Yan immediately turned to look at her, his eyes filled with deep confusion.
Chu Xiang smiled and said, “Interest makes people flock towards me. Now they hate me and wish I would disappear because I’m useless to them. But if they know I often go to your house and your parents treat me well, then they will definitely try to climb the ladder and pretend to be nice to me, using me to get closer to your parents. I’m not willing to let that happen. I want some peace and quiet for a while.”
Shao Yan understood that by “they” she meant her parents. He also understood that interests truly test human nature, and many simply couldn’t withstand that test. The height of the Shao family was beyond the reach of the Chu family, and the outside world had no idea that he was the young master of the Shao family. If Chu Xiang’s parents found out, it was 99% certain they would try to make use of her.
Chu Xiang disliked all the trouble, and he didn’t want to cause any trouble for her either.
He let go of her hand. He understood, but he was still very unhappy. So, from this point forward, couldn’t Chu Xiang go to his house anymore? Didn’t they agree the previous night that they were going to raise puppies together?
Chu Xiang saw him pick up his pen but didn’t answer a single problem for a while. It was evident that he was unhappy. She then whispered, “Local boarding students can go home or not go home on weekends. How about this? I’ll come to see you on weekends. That way, no one will notice that I’m going to your house. Is that okay?”
Shao Yan’s mood immediately brightened at the mention of every weekend. He took out his phone and checked the calendar. Seeing that it was Thursday, his mood improved even more.
Chu Xiang chuckled at his behavior and said, “I’ll come the day after tomorrow in the morning. You should prepare a temporary home for the puppies, and we’ll go shopping at the mall and buy things for them.”
Seeing that Chu Xiang hadn’t forgotten about their puppies, Shao Yan felt completely relaxed. He thought that if she was being so good to him and he didn’t respond at all, she might find him boring or even get angry.
After thinking for a moment, he took out the milk that his mother packed in his backpack every day and placed it on Chu Xiang’s desk, then started focusing on his schoolwork.
Chu Xiang noticed that her desk mate was quite easy to please. She smiled, inserted the straw into the milk, and while drinking it, she took out her assignments and began working on them with concentration.
Many students in the class were paying attention to Chu Xiang. They found it strange that she had just talked and laughed with Shao Yan. However, what was even more shocking was that Shao Yan was now paying attention to her and even gave her a box of milk to drink!!!
It was absolutely unprecedented for Shao Yan to take the initiative to give someone something!
However, giving milk to a girl was a common scene in a romantic relationship, right? What was the situation between the two of them? With Shao Yan’s quiet nature and lack of words, wouldn’t they freeze in a romantic relationship?
Zhang Qi felt the most uncomfortable. He had advised Chu Xiang to stay in the dormitory because he was also a boarder. He had wanted to seize the opportunity and enter her world when she was most down and out after leaving home. But who knew that she didn’t seem very down and out. Instead, she had developed such a relationship with Shao Yan.
However, once Shao Yan and Chu Xiang both focused on doing their assignments, their classmates sensibly dismissed the idea of a romantic relationship. They couldn’t imagine what Shao Yan would be like in a relationship. Besides, Chu Xiang’s newfound confidence in speaking up and her cheerful smiles had only been happening for the past two or three days. It was too soon to assume they were in a relationship.
So, the reason they seemed close was probably because neither of them used to talk much and didn’t have many friends, leading to a sense of camaraderie between them.
