True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (62)
People had different opinions about her. Some found her amusing, some thought she was overconfident and lacked self-awareness, some laughed at her ambitious dreams, some felt she was pretending to be aloof, some thought she was too naive, while others found her genuine.
Regardless of whether they wanted to see her fail or genuinely liked her, everyone enjoyed hanging out with her. Chu Xiang gradually accompanied them to various places such as the racecourse, shooting range, golf course, racing track, bars, Michelin-star restaurants, and more. These were all luxurious or upscale venues. Many people were curious if her simple wishes from before had changed after meeting them. Would playing with them multiple times intoxicate her with the allure of this extravagance? Would she forget her original intentions?
Chu Xiang was so busy that she didn’t have time to spend with Shao Yan. After enduring for a few days, he couldn’t help but send her a message, asking, [Do you enjoy going out everywhere? I can accompany you.]
Shao Yan never went out to play, except for going to school, and he avoided crowded places. When Chu Xiang saw his message, she felt like he was overcoming obstacles to be by her side. Breaking through layer after layer of barriers.
Chu Xiang replied to him, saying, [If I don’t go out with them, how could rumors about me spread so quickly within our circle?]
Shao Yan naturally knew that she wasn’t seeking fame. After thinking for a moment, he asked her, [Are you trying to tarnish the reputation of the Chu family? Do you hate them and want to make them suffer? I can have my dad take care of it.]
[What’s the point of silently bringing them down? They made me a laughingstock in this circle, so they should experience that feeling too. Besides, I want to learn more about the movements of each family. Having conversations with them can yield a lot of information. Don’t worry, I enjoy playing this way.]
Chu Xiang wasn’t accustomed to letting others do everything for her. Would she just live her life aimlessly and wait for death? What was the point in doing that? She needed to stir up some trouble and have some fun. It was quite entertaining when the young masters and misses from various families willingly approached her to extract information.
When Shao Yan saw that she had her own intentions, he didn’t say much and instead thought about what he could do for her. If those people could provide her with information, what about him? Did Chu Xiang come to his house to hang out because she had no friends? Now that she had more friends, would she find him boring?
Shao Yan contemplated alone for a long time and sent a WeChat message to his father. He asked, [How do you send someone to prison?]
Mr. Shao was in a meeting when he saw the message and was startled. He quickly gestured for everyone to adjourn and went back to his office with his phone to call Shao Yan. What had happened to his son? If he hadn’t been carrying his phone with him all the time, fearing that his son might need him, he might not have seen this message in a timely manner.
Mr. Shao dialed the number and immediately regretted it. His son didn’t like to talk, so why call him? However, since the call had already been connected, he still asked, “Xiao Yan, who do you want to send to prison? What happened?”
He thought his son wouldn’t speak and was already prepared to hang up and send a message, but he didn’t expect to hear his son say, “Xiangxiang’s foster parents, surnamed Chen. They abused Xiangxiang. She is covered in injuries.”
Mr. Shao didn’t know why, but he could hear the anguish in his son’s otherwise steady tone. Moreover, this wasn’t a text message. It was the first time in ten years that his son had spoken such a long sentence to him!
Mr. Shao wanted him to say more, so he tentatively asked, “Did Xiangxiang ask you to help her deal with the Chen family? Does she want them to go to prison?”
His question made it sound like he misunderstood everything, thinking that Chu Xiang was using Shao Yan. Shao Yan became a little anxious and immediately explained, “No! Xiangxiang is kind and never mentioned it. A classmate asked why we don’t report the Chen family, and I think their identities are quite special, making it inconvenient to do so. It’s also difficult to obtain medical evidence and evidence of abuse. It would be better to use another method, but I don’t know what method to use.”
Having grown up in a very sheltered environment all these years, he naturally wouldn’t know. Mr. Shao chuckled and said, “I will come home earlier every day and work with you to handle this matter. Don’t worry, they won’t get away with it.”
Shao Yan spoke so much this time, as if he had broken through some barrier. After hesitating for a moment, he added, “Thank you, Dad.”
Mr. Shao was exceptionally elated the whole day. His son had changed so quickly. Since he started interacting with Chu Xiang, his social withdrawal had improved rapidly. Just for this reason alone, he couldn’t let those who bullied Chu Xiang get away with it. With the personalities of the Chen family, it was easy for them to get into trouble.
Mr. Chen had been unwilling to accept his bankruptcy and downfall over the years, and he had always harbored a grudge. Once he obtained five million from the Chu family, he couldn’t stop himself from trying to make a comeback. He never rested.
