Chapter 82 "The Ugly Daughter" (12)
Shanshan confessed to a lot of bad things that Suman had done during the three years since she started school...
Apart from Shisui, the number of people she had bullied, either openly or secretly, could not be counted on one’s fingers and toes.
Among them, there are tall people like Xia Xinyuan - they are considered "an eyesore";
Some, like Kong Miaoqi, are too good at academics but stubborn in character—they are accused of being loners and nerds.
There are also those who are beautiful but have inferior family backgrounds - they are ridiculed and accused of becoming mistresses or third parties of wealthy men in the future.
Su Man claims to represent mainstream aesthetics and absolute authority. On the surface, she is a beautiful and sweet-talking daughter of an official, well-mannered, smart, and proficient in many musical instruments and ballet. However, only those victims who swallow their anger know how terrible she is inside.
"You're the first one who dared to stand up and challenge her..." Shanshan said to Shisui frankly, "Others are afraid of even more severe retaliation, so they just think they're unlucky. If I didn't have the leverage you had, I wouldn't say a word."
"You're all so stupid! Her powerful family background is both her armor and her weakness!"
Shisui was as calm as could be. Dealing with a few young kids was a piece of cake for her.
"Speaking of which, I just received a notice from the school saying that I've been selected as one of the candidates for the annual outstanding student representative competition. If I'm selected, I'll receive a 100,000 yuan bonus. I can also represent the school to participate in government-organized exchange meetings and other things." Shi Sui said to Shanshan, "I heard that Su Man is also one of the candidates. We must prepare in advance."
Shanshan, however, was a bit dismissive: "Su Man doesn't even care about the 100,000 yuan prize. She has been shortlisted for this competition every year, but she never even bothered to give a speech, saying that such a small school-level award is not worth her appearance."
"I don't think so. The prize money is secondary, and the reputation is secondary. She's mainly trying to prove herself." Kong Miaoqi suddenly joined the discussion. "This year, Su Man might have taken the initiative to participate in order to suppress others."
Shi Sui gave her a thumbs up and agreed 100% with Kong Miaoqi's statement.
That's exactly what she thought.
Shanshan and Kong Miaoqing glanced at each other secretly, then quickly looked away.
The atmosphere between these two people is really awkward.
Shi Sui couldn't stand it any longer and asked Shan Shan directly, "Why don't you take this opportunity to explain clearly? Why did you bump into Kong Miaoqi on the day of the dance and then step on her?"
Shanshan defended herself: "I did bump into someone, but Suman told me to do it! But I didn't step on her!"
Tokiho raised an eyebrow with a half-believing look.
"It's true! Why would I lie to you at this point? Su Man couldn't stand seeing someone else go up on stage to receive the award with you, so she asked me to teach Qiqi a lesson!" Shanshan excitedly wanted to prove her innocence.
Tokiho's eyebrows raised even higher.
"She certainly didn't step on me..." Kong Miaoqi curled her lips, "My foot is swollen because I was in a trance when I came back, and I twisted my ankle while walking up the stairs..."
It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
It seems that Shanshan still has some room for Kong Miaoqing.
But after this topic was brought up, the battle style that was originally about discussing how to deal with Su Man gradually turned into an emotional drama in which the former best friends accused each other.
Shanshan said, "No matter what, it was me who bumped into you. And three years ago, I wrote formulas in your desk drawer and falsely accused you of cheating... I still feel guilty about it today..."
Kong Miaoqi also spoke her mind: "I used to say you were as dumb as a log, that you couldn't digest all the knowledge I poured into your head. I thought I was joking, but anyone would be embarrassed."
Shanshan: “Em…what?”
Qiqi: "Uh, embarrassed, I mean... I don't mean to criticize you, but even if your family is rich, you should at least be more motivated. Otherwise, how can your parents support you forever?"
"Ah, I know, I know I was wrong! I've been reflecting on it these days! Please stop talking about it!"
"No, I've been wanting to tell you something for three years now. I'm going to scold you and wake you up today no matter what!"
Shisui helplessly watched these two strange people who loved and hated each other.
One is sharp-tongued and likes to teach others, the other has no backbone and is at the mercy of others... It will be difficult to end it if they don't get married.
Shisui felt that her body was shiny and bright, like an extra-large light bulb.
…
Under the arrangement of Coach Liu, Shi Sui participated in the preliminary group selection of the National Youth Tennis Tour, the most prestigious domestic tournament, as an individual. She successfully qualified as the first in the group and was able to participate in the official sub-station competition.
After the game, Shisui rushed to school without stopping, returned to the dormitory, washed and changed clothes at the fastest speed, and participated in the speech of "Annual Outstanding Student Representative Evaluation".
There are a total of 14 candidates present, and finally 3 of them will be selected to become the annual outstanding student representatives of the entire school.
Each candidate has 10 minutes to introduce himself or herself through a speech, and then another 5 minutes to answer questions from the judges and other candidates.
Tokiho changed into her school uniform and rushed into the auditorium at the last minute before the deadline.
There were about 100 people sitting inside.
In addition to the 14 candidates and 8 leaders, there were also audiences watching the speeches in the back.
She looked around and found Su Man among them, sitting next to a senior leader of the school, chatting and laughing with him.
When Su Man saw Shi Sui coming in, she narrowed her eyes and provoked her.
The eye contact between the two was like lightning and thunder, very intense.
...Shisui's appearance order is earlier than Suman's.
The topic of her speech was naturally related to tennis. With her eloquent mouth, she didn't need any prior preparation. She delivered the 10-minute speech effortlessly and with great ease. The teachers in the audience smiled knowingly, and even the leader sitting next to Su Man kept nodding in appreciation.
"There's a saying that goes like this... The most beautiful women have a face that's righteous and confident. My looks and figure may not conform to today's worldly aesthetics, but I still like myself the way I am. Whether the future is smooth or bumpy, I will gladly accept it and love it as always. Thank you everyone!"
At the very end, Tokiho forcibly sublimated the theme, as if drawing a perfect ending to the breathtaking symphony.
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
How inspiring! How representative!
Everyone felt that Shisui would definitely be able to take one of the three spots for outstanding student representatives.
The host came out to announce the process: "Thank you, Xia, for your wonderful speech. Now we will move on to the discussion session. Does any teacher or student want to ask a question?"
A pair of hands immediately rose from the audience.
She is Suman's younger sister.
Su Man's face was filled with a ruthless look of determination to win.
Tokiho responded with a dismissive smile on the stage.
She had long expected that Suman would take advantage of the question time to embarrass her.
But what made Shisui despise her the most was that even at this time, she was still hiding behind her sisters and letting others fight for her.
Come on, let’s battle!
Look, I'm going to tear off your mask!
