Liu Yanhong stepped forward and greeted Zhao Zhu warmly, "Zhao Zhu, are you jumping rope? Why don't you join us?"
Zhao Zhen said coolly, "You've mistaken me for someone else." It's so annoying that people always mistake the two sisters for each other! Even if they look alike, how can Zhao Zhu compare to her? Their temperament, aura, clothing, and so on are clearly very different.
Liu Yanhong pretended to realize something and said, "Oh, I know, you must be Zhao Zhu's oviparous sister Zhao Zhen, right? No wonder, I was wondering why Zhao Zhu's temperament was so different today. Also, her complexion is not as good as yours, and her clothes are not in the same league as yours."
The girls who came with her looked at her in shock: Was this still the domineering Liu Yanhong they knew? Why was she saying so many flattering things to Zhao Zhen?
Zhao Zhen was clearly pleased with these words. Her cold expression softened with a hint of smugness and delight as she said, "You're my sister's classmate? She hasn't caused you any trouble, has she?"
Liu Yanhong immediately looked embarrassed and said, "No, no." She then began to look Zhao Zhen up and down, and then said, "Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like someone who is short of money at home..." She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.
Zhao Zhen frowned and asked curiously, "Is my family short of money?" Although the Zhao family was not a top-tier wealthy family, Zhao's father's business was quite successful, and the family had never been short of money.
Liu Yanhong also showed a strange expression and said, "Don't you need money? Then why is Zhao Zhu..." She stopped abruptly again.
Zhao Zhen pressed, "What happened to Zhao Zhu?" She vaguely felt that Zhao Zhu might have done something that made her lose face.
Liu Yanhong thought for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered, "Zhao Zhu is working as a kindergarten teacher, didn't you know?"
Zhao Zhen was utterly shocked and exclaimed in astonishment, "What?"
Liu Yanhong continued, "I heard that she was kept by a very famous gangster."
Zhao Zhen stared at Liu Yanhong in disbelief until Liu Yanhong had left, at which point she finally came to her senses. The news was so explosive that she didn't know whether to be sad or happy.
The good news is that this news will greatly lower Zhao Zhu's status in her family's hearts, and it will be difficult for her to return to her original state. Because a girl who has done such a thing, no matter how good she is, will probably find it difficult to bring enough benefits to the family. It will be impossible for her to find a good family for a marriage alliance.
Tragically, once the famous noble and wealthy families find out about this, she herself will be affected and will be considered unworthy to marry into these families.
What's most infuriating is that Zhao Zhu doesn't know how to do something like this in secret? How could she let her classmates find out?
Zhao Zhen studied so hard to win favor, all for the sake of securing a better future for herself. But now, all her beautiful dreams for the future are about to be shattered by this terrible news.
She truly hated herself for not being ruthless enough to strike again while Zhao Zhu was still unconscious in the hospital!
She found a secluded spot, called her mother, and told Zhao's mother the news.
Zhao's mother was so frightened when she heard this that she almost dropped her phone.
"How did you find out about this?" she asked, composing herself. "You can't just make things up without evidence. Your sister will be completely ruined by this kind of rumor; and you yourself might be affected in the future too."
Zhao Zhen cried, "Mom, I know that too. I heard it from her classmate. Tell me, did the family give her less pocket money? Did they not pay her tuition? Is it really necessary for her to act like this? Waaah... I felt so ashamed when her classmate told me, I just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into... Waaah..."
This news must have shocked Zhao's mother so much that she rushed to the school after hanging up the phone. Chu Nian was in class when she was called out from the back door of the classroom.
Fei Sisi, who was sitting in the last row, quietly followed Chu Nian out and overheard Zhao's mother questioning Chu Nian in a low voice: "Zhuzhu, tell your mother the truth, what exactly is going on about the rumors circulating at school about your kindergarten?"
Fei Sisi was startled: "A kindergarten teacher? How could Zhuzhu possibly do such a thing? She's such an amazing person..."
Then Zhao's mother continued, "Some classmates said that you're being kept by a mafia boss, is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Fei Sisi recalled the night a group of tattooed men surrounded the two of them. At that time, Zhao Zhu told her to leave first, while Zhao Zhu herself stayed behind.
Although Zhao Zhu's voice kept reminding her of this and that, making her feel that Zhao Zhu was no ordinary person, now that she heard Zhao's mother questioning Zhao Zhu like this, she still couldn't help but feel that Zhao Zhu must have been given to the "gangster boss" that Zhao's mother mentioned that night by those tattooed men.
She couldn't help but cry, "Zhuzhu, I'm so sorry, it's all because of me that you got into this trouble!"
Zhao's mother only realized she was behind her when she heard her voice. She turned around and scolded her, "Keep your voice down, don't let others hear. Do you want Zhuzhu to be too ashamed to face anyone in the future?"
Fei Sisi quickly stopped crying, leaned closer, and whispered with deep emotion, "Zhuzhu..."
Chu Nian said helplessly, "Mom, where did you hear this rumor? Do I need a kindergarten? I'm not short of money. I just recently met a gangster, we get along well, and we've met a few times."
Both Zhao's mother and Fei Sisi looked at her with suspicion.
Chu Nian had no choice but to emphasize again, "Really."
Zhao's mother turned to Fei Sisi and asked, "Sisi, from what you said just now, it seems like you know something. Tell your aunt what happened."
Although she clearly saw Chu Nian giving her several meaningful glances, Fei Sisi felt that this matter was caused by her. If Zhao Zhu was really bullied by the underworld because of this, she couldn't pretend that she didn't know anything. So she ignored all of Chu Nian's glances and told her in detail how she had been bullied by Liu Yanhong and how Zhao Zhu had stood up for her, which led to her being approached by several gangsters.
Zhao's mother's face flushed red and then turned pale with anger. She said furiously, "What kind of school is this? How can students do such pimping?"
However, although she hated it, she didn't want to make a big fuss, because making a scene might affect Zhao Zhu and even the entire Zhao family. Therefore, she didn't want to cause trouble for the principal and teachers. However, she blamed Fei Sisi for being bullied and for dragging Zhao Zhu down with her, and also blamed Zhao Nian and Fei Yi, the parents.
She actually knew that the root of the problem lay with Liu Yanhong, and she didn't intend to let the girl off so easily; however, given the kinship between the Fei family and the Zhao family, she took the initiative to call Zhao Nian.
