True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (51)
Chu Xiang settled in the Shao residence, truly experiencing the life of a wealthy family. Even the manners and upbringing of the housekeeping staff were top-notch, making her feel very comfortable. She and Shao Yan took care of the puppies like playing house, played games together, and worked out together. They truly had a great time.
Yu Nan and Yang Xueqing also approached her for a day out, but she was engrossed with the puppies and didn’t go out with them. She simply said she was taking a walk outside to relax.
Shao Yan’s identity was unknown to outsiders. Only the principal and a few people knew about it. Additionally, Shao Yan didn’t speak or interact with others, so his classmates didn’t know what his family background was like. Naturally, there were no idle discussions about him and Chu Xiang.
However, there were some rumors circulating about the dispute between the real and fake heiress of the Chu family, mostly among their peers. Almost all the classmates mentioned the Chu sisters on weekends when talking with friends and discussed the true and false information that had been circulating for the past three months. Eventually, it turned into a competition between the two of them to become the successor.
People in their social circle had hardly seen Chu Xiang. Except for the schoolmates, the only time they saw Chu Xiang was at the banquet held by the Chu family to recognize their daughter. During that event, several people saw Chu Xuan collapse in front of Chu Xiang in the garden. Hence, they assumed that Chu Xiang came from a rural background and was fierce and unrefined.
The rumors that had previously spread in school about Chu Xiang’s gloomy and unsophisticated personality were not favorable. People had a negative impression of her. But this time, things had turned around. Just Chu Xuan’s face painting in the photos alone was enough to make them laugh for a long time. They, like the classmates at school, also didn’t believe that someone could draw such a flawless art while she was struggling. It was clearly printed by Chu Xuan herself!
Chu Xiang’s roommates enjoyed attending parties, and once it became known that they were living with her, many people curiously pulled them aside and asked many questions.
“What’s Chu Xiang like in private? I heard she’s not clean-handed and has a petty and jealous nature.”
“No, we have heard the same rumors from others, but when we actually met Chu Xiang, we found her very easy to get along with. She smiles a lot and doesn’t have any gloomy demeanor. Whenever we encounter a problem we don’t understand, we ask her, and she patiently explains it to us.”
“She helps you with problems? Is that true? Wasn’t she transferred from a lousy school where she didn’t even pay attention? I heard she ranked last in the previous monthly exams.”
“She did rank last, and I asked her about it. She said when she first came to the school, everyone felt unfamiliar. She was hesitant to speak up or admit that she was struggling to keep up with the coursework. But now she works hard every day, she approaches teachers with questions, and when she has free time, she studies and does exercises on her own. She even went to the office of our grade’s teachers to ask questions. So when we encounter problems we don’t understand, she happens to have just learned them.”
The people who heard this didn’t quite understand. “What do you mean? So she studied hard and asked teachers, and now she knows everything?”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Chu Xiang’s roommate nodded excitedly. “You don’t know, Chu Xiang is super intelligent. As long as a teacher explains a problem to her once, she immediately understands it. The same type of question can’t stump her. She has an incredible memory for what she reads. Our dormitory leader is participating in a speech competition, and she was practicing her speech in the dorm. Chu Xiang read it once and could point out where there were missing words or mistakes. It’s amazing. She’s become my idol!”
Chu Xiang’s roommate’s statements made people somewhat incredulous. It completely overturned their perception of Chu Xiang. They thought that the true heiress who returned from a poor family would be unsophisticated, timid, lacking in manners, and prone to making embarrassing mistakes. But now, hearing the opposite from her roommates, they couldn’t believe it.
Others also heard various pieces of information from Chu Xiang’s classmates:
Chu Xiang was completely immersed in her studies. Every teacher praised her every day, and she had become the teachers’ favorite smart student. She never answered a question incorrectly in class.
Chu Xiang confronted Chu Xuan head-on, calling her a hypocritical green tea b*tch who staged plots to frame her. However, she was afraid that Chu Xuan would go home and complain, so she decided not to hold any grudges.
Chu Xiang nearly drowned and hasn’t gone back home since then. Her family hasn’t called her or come to the school to find her. It was said that her parents wanted her to drop out of school, so she didn’t dare to go back and stayed at the school directly.
Comparing the two sisters of the Chu family, Chu Xuan seemed more like the wealthy Missy, while Chu Xiang appeared to be someone who relied on her academic achievements and hard work. Her biggest dream was to get into a good university and find a good job.
