Chapter 101 The 1980s: The Male and Female Protagonists' Demise (27)
Everyone watched her silently; some greeted her quietly, while others immediately looked away and lowered their heads to read.
Finally, Jin Shu sat in the corner by the window according to her height.
After this exam, the members of Class 1 remained largely unchanged. The students sitting here were all top students in the city. Some had parents who were professors who had returned from studying abroad, some were highly qualified individuals who had traveled to various places with their parents since childhood, and many, like Jin Yin, came from intellectual families where both parents were teachers.
Prior to this exam, there had been no personnel changes in this class for quite some time.
So everyone knew each other well, and before class, they would chat excitedly about their plans for the upcoming winter break, forming small groups in a harmonious atmosphere.
Only Jin Shu sat alone in the corner, silently flipping through the book in her hands.
After finishing her classes for the day, Jin Shu was packing her things when a voice suddenly came from in front of her.
"Jin Shu, I knew you'd come back. It's my birthday soon, do you want to come to my house for dinner? There will be fireworks tonight."
Chu Dong sat in front of me wearing a leather jacket. His hair was styled with hair wax and combed until it was shiny, making his slicked-back face reflect light.
"No, I'm busy."
Are you still angry with me?
"What smell? Get out of the way, your hair smells awful."
These words worked. As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Dong immediately stepped aside and kept reaching out to touch his hair and sniffing it.
"This is hair wax, a very expensive brand, and it doesn't smell bad."
Jin Shu didn't want to waste her time on these unimportant people; she needed to arrange deliveries today, and time was tight.
Chu Dong wanted to follow, but Jin Yin grabbed his sleeve.
"Didn't you say you'd go shopping with us after class? Are you coming or not? Do you want to copy our homework?"
"Yes, I want to. I know, I know."
Jin Shu's attitude was too cold. Chu Dong, a young master, only had a three-minute attention span. After being ignored twice, he quickly became impatient.
"Jin Shu did very well on the exam this time; she actually got first place."
Several girls who were close friends with Jin Yin walked hand in hand down the street, talking about Jin Shu the whole time.
"She missed two months of school, how did she catch up on so much knowledge? Yinyin has been giving herself extra lessons at home every day, and she only got second place this time."
Jin Yin had good grades when she was studying in town, but she couldn't stand being looked down upon and ostracized at school every day, so in her previous life she chose not to study and went home to get married.
In this life, ever since she learned about her true identity, she has been studying hard. As soon as she regained her identity, she took advantage of the privilege that both her parents were school teachers, and she could get extra tutoring from different teachers every night.
Since she came to the city to study in her second year of high school, she had been ranked first in her grade in the first two monthly exams. In class, she could answer any question the teacher asked fluently.
Soon, she became even more outstanding than Jin Shu.
The more people sympathize with her plight, the more they despise Jin Shu, a thief who steals other people's lives.
When she returned this time, her classmates naturally didn't give her a friendly look.
After all, everyone knew from Jin Yin's few words that Jin Shu had known all along that she was not her biological daughter and had been monopolizing her urban parents' lives.
As for why Jin Shu knew...
No one cared or investigated further.
Jin Yin is so pitiful and adorable, yet so cheerful, generous, helpful to her classmates, and respectful to her teachers. How could someone like her lie?
Therefore, Jin Shu is indeed very scheming.
She went to great lengths to come back, just to continue exploiting her urban parents.
"What's the use of getting good grades? How can she be so shameless? There are so many schools out there, why does she have to come back and annoy Yin Yin?"
“I suspect she did it on purpose. Do you know what she was wearing? It’s a Golden Crane brand dress, which costs more than ten yuan. How could a country girl like her afford that?”
Maybe Yinyin's parents gave it to her secretly.
Jin Yin remained silent beside him, her head bowed and her sullen appearance only aroused more sympathy and pity from her classmates.
In this era, everyone responded to the one-child policy, so many people here are only children, enjoying all the love and attention from their parents.
That's why they despise Jin Shu, who deliberately tries to steal other people's parents.
"Yinyin, don't be sad. Your parents can give you a while, but can they give you a lifetime? Director Zhao and Teacher Liao still love you the most."
“I’ve survived so many years of hardship, and now all I want is to live a peaceful life. I just didn’t expect that Jin Shu, who has already gained so much, would still try to take away what belongs to me.”
"She's absolutely despicable! I've never seen such a shameless person!"
"Don't worry, let's just ignore her and let her learn the lesson of usurping someone else's place!"
With her friends' comfort, Jin Yin finally felt a little better, and she took a deep breath.
"Forget it, let's go shopping. Boss Chu said today that he'll pay for my bill to repay me for helping him with his studies."
"Chu Dong, keep your word! We are all witnesses!"
Chu Dong nodded helplessly.
"Yes, yes, my ancestor, I'll pay for whatever you buy today, okay?"
"Wow, Mr. Chu is so generous! I'm so envious. Why don't I have such a rich and generous childhood sweetheart?"
Jin Yin stood smiling beside Chu Dong.
"Did you bring enough money today?"
"Here, I brought it. One hundred yuan. Is that enough for you?"
"That's more like it. Let's go, I'm going to Jinhe to buy clothes."
Now many girls in the school are wearing the Golden Crane brand, which makes Jin Yin extremely envious.
Unfortunately, the clothes are too expensive, and my parents are very strict with money. To get a set of Golden Crane brand clothes, it would cost at least fifty.
Chu Dong is such a sucker, we might as well take advantage of him.
Anyway, she'll be with Chu Dong sooner or later, so his money is her money too, what's wrong with spending a little?
As soon as I arrived at the clothing store, I saw that it was packed with people.
Many people were still queuing outside, unwilling to move despite the cold weather.
"This clothing store is so famous now, have you heard? Even TV actresses have come to their store to look at their clothes."
"Really? Which celebrity?"
"It's just acting..."
The people in front were talking loudly, which made everyone's enthusiasm even higher.
Jin Yin glanced into the store and suddenly noticed a familiar face.
"Wang Dan? It really is you! I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."
Xiao Wang was busy when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw an old acquaintance.
"Jin Yin? You're here to buy clothes?"
"Yes, what is this...?"
Jin Yin stared at Xiao Wang's clothes, which had a clear Golden Crane brand logo printed on the chest, making them stand out from the crowd.
"I sell clothes here."
"You sell clothes here?! You own this store?"
Jin Yin asked two questions in a row, which was enough to show her surprise and shock.
