True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (55)
In the evening after school, just as Chu Xiang was putting the cap on her pen, she saw Chu Xuan standing in front of her.
Chu Xuan nervously handed over a card. “Sister…”
Before she could say anything, Chu Xiang’s face changed dramatically, and she stood up abruptly. “What are you doing?”
The classmates who had been watching Chu Xuan were instantly drawn to Chu Xiang, no longer paying attention to Chu Xuan’s superb acting. Chu Xuan felt like she was performing on a set, desperately trying to overshadow Chu Xiang’s role. Biting her lip, she said, “Sister, don’t misunderstand our parents. You haven’t come home for so many days, and you blocked our calls. They are worried about you and want you to come home, so they froze your card. I didn’t expect you to endure hardships rather than come home. Mom hasn’t been able to eat or sleep well these past few days because of her worry. Come home with me. And please take this card…”
“Wait!” Chu Xiang interrupted her in surprise, raising her hand to stop her from continuing. “You said Mom is so worried about me that she can’t eat or sleep? Then why hasn’t she come to the school to find me?”
Some classmates who had initially thought Chu Xiang might have misunderstood her parents immediately started pondering. Yes, if their parents dared not to come home for several days, whether angry or worried, they would have come to the school long ago, right? Chu Xiang was attending school every day, and she wasn’t missing. But what about her blocking her family’s calls?
Chu Xiang immediately provided them with an answer. “The day I woke up in the hospital, Mom scolded me harshly without even listening to my explanation. She accused me of pushing you into the water and trying to kill you. She told me to go home and apologize to you, and then she stormed off. I didn’t do it. If I admit to this baseless accusation, wouldn’t it be attempted murder? If I apologize to you, they will say I haven’t repented. You know very well what the consequences would be.
Chu Xuan, you don’t have to come to me and say these strange things. Every time you speak, you make my classmates misunderstand me. I’m begging you, please don’t talk to me or mention my name again. If one day my parents drag me back home, I won’t have anything to say. Since my parents haven’t come to find me, I don’t want their money anymore. Can’t I support myself? Even a rabbit bites when it’s desperate, so stop pushing me!”
Contrary to her submissive attitude over the past couple of days, she became assertive with Chu Xuan, but no one felt she was in the wrong.
“Chu Xuan is going too far. What’s all this talk about her mom worrying about Chu Xiang? They’re just endless lies.”
“Yeah, look at her dramatic way of throwing the card. What’s she trying to show off? Wasn’t that money supposed to belong to Chu Xiang in the first place? After occupying her identity for so many years, she has the audacity to hand her a card.”
“Is she doing it on purpose? Chu Xiang is right. Chu Xuan always says strange things in front of everyone, and we used to misunderstand Chu Xiang a lot because she couldn’t express herself like her.”
“Thank goodness Chu Xiang had a near-death experience and became more open-minded and courageous. Otherwise, she would have been bullied by her.”
Some classmates spoke louder, while others whispered, and all their words fell into Chu Xuan’s ears. She struggled to maintain her composure, hastily put the card away, and apologized, “Sister, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it that way. I didn’t think so much. I haven’t encountered these things before, and I didn’t know how to handle it for a moment. I’ve caused you trouble, but I absolutely didn’t have any ill intentions. I… I won’t say anything more. I’ll go home and talk to Mom and Dad. They were just speaking out of anger…”
“Chu Xuan, that’s enough!” Yu Nan couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up, blocking Chu Xiang in front of her. “Do you think no one knows about the filthy things in your family? Are you even audacious enough to say that your mom worries about Chu Xiang? If she’s really that worried, wouldn’t she at least show up? Even if she just made a phone call to the teacher to inquire about Chu Xiang’s situation, she would know how she’s been living at school, right? Last week, you falsely accused her, did your parents scold you for that?”
“Yu Nan, you’ve misunderstood.” Chu Xuan just felt like she was being overwhelmed by Chu Xiang, suffocating and unable to breathe, but she still had enough composure to face Yu Nan.
Little did she know that Yu Nan had a hot temper and didn’t give her a chance to perform. Without letting her finish speaking, Yu Nan said, “Don’t pretend with me. You’re just relying on the fact that no one has solid evidence to prove the disgraceful things in your family, right? It’s not that there’s no evidence, it’s that Chu Xiang doesn’t want to air the family’s dirty laundry and has been covering for you! But you just keep stirring up trouble. How about it? Isn’t it enough that you’ve bullied Chu Xiang to the point where she can’t even go home? What else do you want?”
Chu Xiang pulled Yu Nan back and silently gave her a thumbs up in her heart. Well done!
Chu Xuan’s pupils contracted, and her gaze fell on Chu Xiang’s face. What evidence was Yu Nan talking about? Why was Yu Nan supporting her like this? Did she overlook something and get caught by Chu Xiang?
Chu Xuan kept her head down, unable to make sense of anything. At this point, several curious classmates had already gathered around. “Yu Nan, what evidence are you talking about? Please tell us. We’ve misunderstood Chu Xiang for so long, and we all want to know the truth.”
Yu Nan, who had always felt the urge to protect Chu Xiang after witnessing her flatline, had long wanted to reveal the truth.
Unable to bear it any longer, she pulled Chu Xiang over and rolled up the sleeves on both sides, loudly declaring, “The solid evidence is Chu Xiang’s medical report! She suffered in the Chen family for Chu Xuan, enduring long-term abuse. After returning to the Chu family for three months, she’s actually malnourished! Malnourished! Have any of you ever experienced malnutrition? Is the Chu family bankrupt and unable to afford food?
Chu Xuan, tell me, how did you, as a good sister, and your good mother, manage to let Chu Xiang become malnourished after three months back in the Chu family? Why did you return from the Chen family after only a week? Did you realize that your biological parents are perverts? Are you grateful to Chu Xiang? Do you feel guilty towards her? All you ever think about is plotting against Chu Xiang!”
