"That's hilarious! Bai Lu's grades are the worst in the grade, and she even had to repeat a year. How dare she prepare for the exam? Is she afraid she hasn't embarrassed herself enough?"
"She can't get rid of it even if she wants to. She's been expelled from school. She's probably better off going home to roast sweet potatoes."
After mocking Bai Lu, the girls turned around and complimented the girl in the middle wearing jeans and a jacket with a grin.
"It's Jiayi who's so kind; she directly helped Bailu avoid the embarrassment."
Zhou Jiayi looked arrogant and disdainful: "Why not expel someone as immoral as her? Expelling her is a well-considered decision by the school and has nothing to do with me. Don't spread rumors."
The two girls immediately changed their tune: "Yes, it has nothing to do with Jiayi. It's Bailu's own fault. She deserves to be criticized for her improper lifestyle. Nobody likes bad students, and we resolutely resist bad students."
Li Shuixian grinned slyly and agreed: "Fire her and see where she can jump around now. She won't even have the chance to jump around anymore."
"When you all finish your exams and get into top universities, we'll go to Bailu's house together to share the good news with her and tease her so much that she can't sleep for three days and three nights."
This degrading and malicious method was immediately endorsed by the two narrow-minded girls.
While acknowledging their efforts, he also praised Zhou Jiayi for giving them the opportunity to humiliate them: "Jiayi is really something."
"They can control the whole situation just by talking and manipulating public opinion? If Jiayi isn't that amazing, who is? Bailu, who doesn't even qualify to take the exam? Don't be ridiculous, that's laughable. Just wait until after the exam, and we'll see how we roast her until she's too ashamed to show her face in public!"
"Yes, bring more classmates along..."
Several girls walked away arm in arm, laughing.
The direction is towards Li Shuixian's shop.
The 150 yuan that Li Shuixian had to pay Bai Lu last time was made up with her dowry money. She promptly changed the shop's accounting book back to the original one, so Xiao Zhihai didn't notice and didn't pursue the matter any further.
Otherwise, we'll definitely kick her out of the house.
After being hit by one devastating event after another, the grocery store is now out of business.
Li Shuixian hated Bailu to the core, but the thought that she would soon avenge her great grudge made her happy.
All the way, he and Zhou Jiayi and the others were discussing how to damage Bailu in order to achieve the best effect.
It would be best to invite more classmates to come and see the joke...
Wang Hao's understanding of women has been refreshed once again.
It turns out that girls don't fight; they seem peaceful on the surface, but they actually resort to such underhanded tactics behind the scenes.
To achieve their goals, they resort to any means necessary, forming cliques to ruin people's reputations with rumors, expelling them from school, and even instigating their accomplices to humiliate them at their homes, while also inviting a large number of students to watch the spectacle. Isn't this just trampling people to death?
Any girl with a weaker mental fortitude would find it unbearable, right?
Men's fights are physical, but women's are like stabbing their hearts.
Wang Hao belatedly realized that the woman these women were after was Bai Lu, his sister-in-law.
He immediately turned his head, expecting to see Xiao Cheng's gloomy, murderous face, but instead... he didn't.
Xiao Cheng's expression was surprisingly calm.
"Cheng, Brother Cheng?" Wang Hao was a little afraid of Xiao Cheng like this, feeling like the calm before a storm.
After all, the clear blue sky that had just been bright had turned somber, shrouded in layers of dark clouds.
It felt as if a violent storm was about to erupt at any moment.
However, Xiao Cheng did nothing, his expression remained unchanged, and he simply said calmly, "Let's go."
We proceeded to Pingcheng according to the original plan.
The motorcycle wasn't the one Li Shuixian and the others had ridden on; it was a different one that Wang Hao rented, and he drove it.
The cold wind whistled past his ears, and the bumpy road rose and fell, just like his anxious heart.
Xiao Cheng remained silent the entire way.
Wang Hao couldn't figure it out the whole way. Just two days ago, Xiao Cheng had told him that he missed Bai Lu, and soon after, he rushed back without stopping. Clearly, he cared a lot about Bai Lu.
But why did he ignore Bai Lu when she was being bullied?
Is it because it's not easy to make a move on a group of women?
Wang Hao was full of questions, but after arriving in Pingcheng, Xiao Cheng changed his route with a single sentence, from inspecting the shops to going to Pingcheng High School. He finally understood.
Cheng-ge is going to collect favors.
After receiving the favor, Bai Lu can deal with those gossipy women on her own.
Three years ago, Pingcheng High School was building a new student dormitory building. However, due to an accident, the funds allocated for the construction were not received by the school after the dormitory building was completed. The school was unable to pay the final payment to the building materials supplier that was due.
The building materials supplier didn't dare to challenge the public school, so he entrusted the matter to the big boss.
The man sent by the big boss was Xiao Cheng, a notorious figure in the underworld, known for his brutal methods, ruthlessness, and undefeated record in debt collection.
The client and the big boss have a payment deadline, and the big boss gives the people below a deadline.
The time limits given to others were different from those given to Xiao Cheng; Xiao Cheng's grace period was the longest among all of them.
Because the big boss trusts Xiao Cheng's abilities and knows that Xiao Cheng will not fail, he always gives him the longest possible deadline.
The payment deadline is so long that it directly corresponds to the client's payment deadline, which is equivalent to having the highest level of authority, similar to that of the top boss.
Xiao Cheng used this longest possible timeframe to cultivate relationships and pave the way for a future career change.
Those who had been lenient with Xiao Cheng were not fools; they all knew that favors had to be repaid.
It's just a matter of time.
The principal of Pingcheng High School is one of them.
He was so worried that he lost all his hair, couldn't eat or sleep, and feared that debt collectors from the underworld would come to his house and force him to sell his land and his meager possessions to repay his debts.
Xiao Cheng arrived at his house with only four men, without any weapons. He calmly asked, "When will you pay me?" After receiving an answer, he left with his men.
Even though the answer was very different from the actual repayment period, Xiao Cheng didn't take any action and left without a word.
The principal realized he owed a huge favor.
But to his even greater surprise, when Xiao Cheng came back three years later after doing such a huge favor, he didn't ask for anything in return, only asking him to do a small favor.
Even after Xiao Cheng left, the principal still found it hard to believe, wondering if he was getting old and his eyesight was failing.
He took off his glasses, wiped them with his sleeve, put them back on, and stared at the figure on the motorcycle until it disappeared from sight.
Only then did he realize that the person who had come to find him was Xiao Cheng, the rumored heartless and ruthless bully.
It shattered his understanding time and time again.
Leaving favors can be profitable.
When it came to reciprocating a favor, he didn't seek any personal gain, all for the sake of a girl whose grades were among the worst.
"That's truly astonishing..."
The shop that Wang Hao found was spacious and in a good location. He even had Lao Hu check the feng shui, and there were no problems. After Xiao Cheng finished inspecting everything, he contacted a construction team to clean and renovate the shop, and made sure to tell the warehouse to be cleaned first.
There are chestnuts from the White Dew season stored in the woodshed at home, and there's no room left. The appliances can be stored in the warehouse and someone can watch over them.
