Chapter 26: The School Fight
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Young Master Tang and the beauty left, he passed by Gu Qingchen and said softly, “I’ll come and play with you in a few days.”
After saying that, he held the beauty and left. With his back facing Gu Qingchen, he raised a hand and waved, looking very cool.
When Gu Qingchen went back, she saw that the police had already arrived. Perhaps Dong Guiyun had caused too much trouble, so she was taken away directly.
Although Gu Qingchen’s family of three’s mood had been ruined, it was still a happy day.
The next day was Monday. Gu Qingchen had to go to school. Before she left, she gave the few hundred dollars left from yesterday’s meal to her mother. Her father, Gu Yuanchuan, said that he was going to take care of the handover, so they went out together.
As soon as Gu Qingchen entered the school gate, she found that the atmosphere in school today was off.
Every student who passed by Gu Qingchen would look at her a few more times. The look in their eyes was very strange.
Gu Qingchen could only read one person’s mind.
“I can’t believe that our former most popular and beautiful girl was actually a thief and a robber. No matter how I look at her, she doesn’t look like a thief. Sigh, return my goddess!”
Gu Qingchen’s heart sank. She immediately understood that Shi Wei must have spread rumors again.
When Gu Qingchen entered the classroom, the initially lively classroom suddenly quieted down. Everyone’s eyes were focused on Gu Qingchen.
Gu Qingchen took a glance and saw that Shi Wei was sitting in her seat. Her head was wrapped in thick gauze. Those who did not know would think that she was seriously injured.
When she saw the expressions of the people around Shi Wei looking at her, Gu Qingchen knew that those rumors must have been spread by them.
Good! Very good!
“Yo, look who’s here. Everyone, take care of your wallets and personal safety. Don’t let anyone steal them by accident.”
The person who spoke was called Wang Meili. Her parents probably wanted her to be beautiful. Who knew that things would go against their wishes and she was the opposite of her name.
Wang Meili hated beautiful girls the most. That was why she had always been jealous of Gu Qingchen. Now, she was Shi Wei’s number one lackey.
After knowing that Gu Qingchen’s family had gone bankrupt, Wang Meili also became arrogant. The way she looked at Gu Qingchen also became a lot smugger.
“Meili, you’d better stop talking. Qingchen doesn’t seem to be a heinous person. Stealing money is a possibility… but something like robbery shouldn’t happen.”
Ma Shihan’s words were meaningful. On the surface, it seemed like she was speaking up for Gu Qingchen, but in fact, she was implying that Gu Qingchen would steal money.
“Hehe, Ma Shihan, don’t be so naive. If you get framed again one day, you won’t be able to clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River.”
In other words, Gu Qingchen had framed Ma Shihan.
Gu Qingchen laughed lightly. Ma Shihan was really unwilling to give up. Previously, when she stole the wallet, everyone saw that the wallet fell out of her school bag. Now, she actually wanted to slander her.
No one knew if Ma Shihan was really stupid or naive.
“The Yellow River’s water isn’t clean, to begin with. It probably can’t stand another pollution.”
Pfft!
When Gu Qingchen’s words left her mouth, many of the boys in the class burst out laughing, especially Gu Qingchen’s deskmate. His laughter was especially loud, and he even slammed the table. “Hahaha, that’s right, that’s right. The first task of managing the Yellow River is to erect a plaque that says, ‘Due to the recent serious pollution of the Yellow River, please move to the Yangtze River to clean up’! Oh no, I’m laughing so hard that my stomach hurts.”
Han Zhengxiu was Gu Qingchen’s deskmate. This fellow’s academic results were average, and he liked to take leave for nothing. On the day of the wallet theft incident last week, Han Zhengxiu had taken leave and did not come to school.
This was the first time Gu Qingchen had seen Han Zhengxiu since her rebirth. Her deskmate was still the same. Although his grades were average, he was very loyal.
In fact, they were all students who had just entered high school. Han Zhengxiu often asked for leave, and they had even less time to see each other. Gu Qingchen was grateful that he could stand up for her.
“Han Zhengxiu, we are talking. It’s none of your business.”
When Wang Meili heard that Han Zhengxiu was defending Gu Qingchen and ridiculing her and Ma Shihan, she immediately became angry.
Everyone in the class knew that Wang Meili and Han Zhengxiu were not on good terms, but in reality, Gu Qingchen could tell that Wang Meili was using this method to attract Han Zhengxiu’s attention because she liked Han Zhengxiu.
Han Zhengxiu sat there without a proper posture. “You ugly girl, don’t talk to me. I want to puke just listening to your voice.”
“You… you!”
Wang Meili’s face turned red when she was so despised by the boy she liked. She looked at Gu Qingchen with red eyes. The hatred in her eyes seemed like she wanted to devour a whole person.
Gu Qingchen must have bewitched Han Zhengxiu. She wanted Gu Qingchen to be uglier than her!
At this moment, Wang Meili’s mind was thinking of making Gu Qingchen uglier as well. Since she could not get Han Zhengxiu, she would not let Gu Qingchen take advantage.
“Gu Qingchen, I’ll fight it out with you!”
Wang Meili’s outburst was very sudden. Everyone was busy mocking Wang Meili for being despised by Han Zhengxiu. They did not expect Wang Meili to suddenly attack Gu Qingchen.
Just as Wang Meili’s sharp fingernails were about to scratch Gu Qingchen’s face, Gu Qingchen grabbed Wang Meili’s wrist and used the force to dodge Wang Meili’s sharp claws.
Wang Meili lost her balance and continued to rush forward with her hands raised high.
With a bang, the two of them collided.
With a roar, it was a woman’s sharp scream.
The originally lively crowd was dumbfounded. Their mouths were opened wide, and they did not dare to blink.
There was only one thought in their minds: Wang Meili was in trouble.
The person she bumped into was none other than the homeroom teacher who had just entered the classroom to prepare for class, Liu Ying.
Liu Ying and Wang Meili both fell to the ground. Wang Meili was the first to react and got up. Liu Ying only felt pain all over her body and her face was burning hot.
“Ms… Ms. Liu.”
When Wang Meili saw Liu Ying’s appearance, she panicked. She wasn’t Shi Wei. Even the teacher had to give way to Shi Wei because Shi Wei’s family was rich.
And she, Wang Meili, was only from an ordinary family. If she had not hooked up with Shi Wei and become Shi Wei’s lackey, she would definitely be invisible in this class.
Gu Qingchen sneered in her heart and looked at Wang Meili and Liu Ying with sarcasm in her eyes.
She had said before that what she liked to see the most was dogfights.
Liu Ying was in so much pain that she bared her teeth as she had fallen quite hard. Her feet, which were wearing stilettos, were crooked. Her arms and waist were hurting badly.
What worried Liu Ying the most was the burning sensation on her face.
“Wang Meili! What are you doing!”
Wang Meili was shaken by Liu Ying’s roar and took a few steps back. She glanced at Gu Qingchen from the corner of her eyes and hurriedly pointed at Gu Qingchen. “Ms. Liu, it was Gu Qingchen who pushed me. That’s why I bumped into you. It must be because she didn’t dare to hit you, so she used this method to frame me!”
Gu Qingchen’s expression was cold, and that cold gaze shot towards Wang Meili.
