After registering the Chen brothers, it's time to register Xu Hongxia.
Because the school was very close, it only took a few minutes to walk there. Zhang Yumei originally thought that registering Xu Hongxia would be faster.
Because Xu Hongxia had been enrolled in school all along, all she needed to do now was pay the tuition. After paying the tuition, she ran into Li Lulian.
Li Lulian, along with two girls, blocked the office door, looking like they were about to cause trouble.
Zhang Yumei felt lingering fear whenever she saw Li Lulian, not because she couldn't do anything about Li Lulian, but because she was afraid that Xu Hongxia would do the same thing as before.
By associating with her, Zhang Yumei wasn't afraid that Xu Hongxia would be swindled out of anything or money.
What she feared was that, like last time, something that shouldn't have happened might appear, which would implicate everyone in her family.
Zhang Yumei carefully observed Xu Hongxia's expression and found that she had been looking impatient ever since Li Lulian appeared.
She felt much more at ease.
Zhang Yumei blocked Xu Hongxia's way and said as gently as possible, "Excuse me, classmates, we need to go out."
As if they hadn't heard, they not only didn't move aside, but instead took a few steps forward.
She pointed at Xu Hongxia indignantly and said, "Xu Hongxia, you've gone too far!"
Xu Hongxia: ? ? ?
"What did I do? Was I really that much?!"
Student A: "You still won't admit it?! You actually took back what you willingly gave to Green Lotus! You dare to say you didn't?!"
Student B: "Exactly! You gave it to her yourself, yet you barged into her house to take it back! And Green Lotus was so good to you!"
Li Lulian then feigned innocence, saying, "Hongxia probably didn't do it on purpose; it's all my fault."
"I shouldn't have thought that just because I did a lot for her, she was going to give me things. It's all my fault for overthinking things."
After saying that, she pretended to be sad and covered her face. Xu Hongxia felt disgusted.
Student A: "Green Lotus, why are you still defending her! She treated you like that, you're just too kind!"
Student B: "That's right! Xu Hongxia, your family is so rich, what's wrong with you sharing some of your things with Lülian? How can you be so heartless!"
Xu Hongxia was speechless. She thought she and Li Lulian were even. Now Li Lulian actually dared to turn the tables on her.
Zhang Yumei's brows furrowed more and more as she listened, and she was about to lose her temper and reprimand them when Xu Hongxia stepped out.
Xu Hongxia looked at Li Lulian with a half-smile: "You're quite something, you really know how to distort the truth."
Li Lulian looked at her with tears in her eyes: "Hongxia, what are you saying? I don't understand."
"You'd better not understand! Come on, I'll give you a chance. Now, tell me in front of everyone what you've done for me!"
Xu Hongxia is not the same Xu Hongxia as before. She will not risk her wallet for the sake of her pride!
The thought that Li Lulian was the reason she lost her allowance made her angry! She even felt like hitting her.
Li Lulian kept her head down and didn't say anything, but she looked very aggrieved, which made some male classmates who didn't know the truth start to feel indignant on her behalf.
"Xu Hongxia, don't go too far! Everyone knows you two are always inseparable. Who knows how you're bullying her behind her back!"
"That's right, we often see Li carrying your bag and running errands for you!"
The teachers in the office listened to their mindless remarks and shook their heads repeatedly.
They kept saying that we should distinguish right from wrong and not blindly judge whether things are right or wrong.
Anyone of a certain age could tell that Li Lulian was putting on an act, but the students were young and often only saw things on the surface.
At first glance, it seemed that Li Lulian had suffered a great injustice, but when Xu Hongxia asked her to tell the story, she fell silent.
She simply knows that if she speaks her mind, she'll be in the wrong. And yet, so many students are still defending her... it's truly...
However, even though they noticed, the teachers dared not intervene. If a student got angry and reported them, they would be finished.
We are no longer in an era where teachers are respected and valued. Now, teachers need to be more careful with their words and actions; their lives are the most important thing.
"I bullied her? Do you know that she's been mooching breakfast from me for the past few years?"
“Every time she said she would mend my clothes, she never returned the clothes she took. Every time we went out together, she would always find some excuse to make me buy her things.”
"I just took back the clothes she took. They were mine to begin with, so how is that going too far?!"
"I haven't even asked her to pay me back for what she took from me and the money she used. I've already been very generous!"
"And do you know how many pieces of clothing she took from me? Eight pieces! I'm asking you, who wouldn't be upset if they lost eight pieces of clothing!"
Upon hearing that Li Lulian had taken eight pieces of clothing from Xu Hongxia, a chorus of boos immediately erupted from the surrounding crowd.
Eight pieces of clothing!!!
Good heavens! They might not even have eight pieces of clothing from childhood to adulthood!
How many cloth coupons would that take? It seems the rumors about Xu Hongxia's family being rich are true.
Li Lulian suffered another setback at Xu Hongxia's hands, leaving her feeling extremely frustrated. She had originally planned to get two people to stand up for her.
Then she pretended to be magnanimous and forgave Xu Hongxia, so that they could get back together. But that bitch Xu Hongxia didn't give her any face at all!
"Hongxia, I just realized that this is what you really think of me, sob sob sob."
"I didn't mean to keep those clothes; I just forgot to return them to you. As for the other things, you gave them to me yourself, sob sob sob."
Seeing that Li Lulian was about to run away after speaking, Xu Hongxia grabbed her immediately.
"Trying to run?"
Li Lulian didn't expect Xu Hongxia to act so quickly; she had originally planned to run away as soon as she finished speaking!
Xu Hongxia asked angrily, "You said you just forgot to return it to me, so why are you still wearing the clothes?"
"You can't possibly have so many clothes that you can't even count them all, can you?!"
"Either apologize to me in front of everyone right now, or I'll go to your house and tell your neighbors what you've done!"
Li Lulian looked up in disbelief: "How could you do this?!"
Xu Hongxia retorted, "Why can't I? You can even distort the truth, but I'm just telling others the truth. What's wrong with that?"
"I apologize! I'm sorry! It's all my fault, okay?"
Li Lulian lowered her head and roared, feeling a burning pain on her face. This time, she was truly crying.
Xu Hongxia released her and said to the onlookers, "Did you hear that? It's all her own fault. Don't let me hear anyone mention this again."
Li Lulian had already run away the moment she let go of her hand.
