Chapter 167 Using Money to Throw At People
Jiang Ruzhen squeezed into the crowd, carrying two large bags of snacks.
"Xinxin, Mom has come to see you."
Shen Shuxin's eyes lit up. "Mom, what brings you here?"
Jiang Ruzhen smiled gently, and the entire dormitory lit up, prompting the surrounding students to exclaim in amazement.
My goodness, Shen Shuxin's mother is so young, stylish, and beautiful!
"Sister, you're Shen Shuxin's mother? You must be kidding, you only look a few years older than Xin Xin!"
"Yes, sister, your skin is so nice! What cosmetics do you use?"
"Sister, you are so beautiful. No wonder Xin Xin is so naturally beautiful and has so many suitors."
These adorable and innocent college students, calling her "sister" this and "sister" that, made Jiang Ruzhen beam with joy.
She put two large bags of snacks on the bed and said, "You classmates have such sweet tongues! Come on, share the snacks."
The students around her felt a little embarrassed looking at the snacks on the bed. They had never seen the packaging before, and some of them were written in foreign languages, so they must be imported from abroad and very expensive.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruzhen had no choice but to personally distribute the snacks to the students.
"Thank you for defending my daughter Xinxin today. These imported snacks are not worth much, only three or four hundred yuan."
You guys can just sit here eating snacks and watching the show; I have things to take care of.
The students' hands were burning from holding the snacks. Three or four hundred yuan? That's so expensive!
Their mouths don't deserve to eat such expensive things.
After arranging things for her classmates, Jiang Ruzhen ignored their reactions, turned to face Zhang Cuihua, who was already feeling guilty, and gave a cold laugh.
He then turned his head and tapped Shen Shuxin's forehead with his finger.
"If Mom hadn't come, I wouldn't have known there was such a shameless pauper who would use a hundred yuan to frame my precious daughter."
Shen Shuxin knew her mother was really angry as soon as she saw her smile, so she quickly hugged Jiang Ruzhen's arm and smiled ingratiatingly.
Jiang Ruzhen snorted, then turned around and looked at Zhang Cuihua with a smile, "You think a hundred yuan is a lot of money, but losing it feels like the sky has fallen."
Do you know how much that wool skirt my daughter is wearing costs? It's a new style from Zhenbaoge, 120 yuan a piece. And do you know how much that down jacket she's wearing costs? It's an export version, 180 yuan a piece!
Do you know how much those lambskin ankle boots she's wearing cost? They're from Hong Kong, $220 a pair. Do you know how much that watch on her wrist costs? It's a Swiss-made Titoni ladies' watch, $280 a piece.
Whoosh—
The surrounding crowd erupted in an uproar.
Shen Shuxin is usually very low-key and polite to her classmates. Everyone thinks she is beautiful and gentle, and any clothes she wears look great on her.
Just like the beauty with the best bone structure that people often talk about, she shines even when she's wearing a rag.
They had no idea that Shen Shuxin came from such a well-off family.
The clothes he's wearing cost almost half a year's worth of money for an average family, and this watch is equivalent to his parents' total annual salary!
This heiress from a wealthy family is so unassuming!
Zhang Cuihua was shocked by Jiang Ruzhen's continuous questioning, her face turning pale and then red, and she felt extremely ashamed.
Indeed, in her eyes, one hundred yuan was the limit she could afford. This was the amount she had saved up over a year by living frugally and then scraping together money from her close classmates.
But even Princess Shen Shuxin can't afford a decent piece of clothing.
She felt that God was being unfair. She had worked so hard to get out of the mountains and come to this big city, but she was always inferior to others.
She studied so hard, but she could never beat Shen Shuxin, who was first in the grade.
The teacher liked her, the classmates liked her, and even Xie Hui, the boy she had a crush on, tried his best to please her and pursue her.
On what grounds?
She cried out in agitation, "So what? Just because your family is rich, does that give you the right to trample on other people's dignity at will?"
Can she just bribe teachers to take her as their last disciple? Can she make all the outstanding boys bow down and fawn over her, Shen Shuxin?
"Is she a princess high above, and we're just the mud beneath her feet? Do we deserve to be trampled on by you rich and powerful people?"
Zhang Cuihua, believing herself to be on the moral high ground, delivered a passionate and indignant speech, lamenting the unfairness of fate.
But when she looked around, no one stood by her side to join the condemnation.
Instead, her classmates gathered together, pointing and whispering about her.
“Zhang Cuihua, we are all college students with our own thoughts and judgments. You can’t incite us with just a few impassioned words.”
"That's right, how can you be so vicious? The facts are already very clear. You are jealous of Shen Shuxin, so you used such despicable tricks to frame her."
"If you were as kind and polite as Shen Shuxin, and treated people with peace, how could you have ended up in this predicament of being surrounded by enemies?"
Instead of complaining about the unfairness of fate, you should think about why you are still not as good as Shen Shuxin despite working so hard.
"You're just being petty, envious, and jealous. Do you think that just because you study hard, Shen Shuxin doesn't study hard too?"
"What's wrong with teachers liking outstanding students? What's wrong with male students liking pretty and generous girls? Does it have to be that everyone has to like you, this vicious and petty person, for it to be considered fair?"
Faced with everyone's accusations, Zhang Cuihua was filled with shame and indignation.
"You...you're also supposed to be the pride of heaven, how could you be bought off by a few bags of snacks? I...I look down on you..."
Seeing that she was not getting anywhere, she stomped her foot and tried to walk away.
At this moment, the mentor arrived and, after investigating the whole story, she reprimanded Zhang Cuihua in front of everyone with a stern face.
They made Zhang Cuihua apologize to Shen Shuxin on the spot, and also made her write a 2,000-word self-criticism, saying that they would report it to the school and wait for the school's punishment.
The students applauded, praising the mentor for his decisive action and fair and just approach to problem-solving.
After the grand performance ended, Jiang Ruzhen publicly gave Shen Shuxin 1,000 yuan, asking her to treat her classmates to go out and have fun.
The students were overjoyed and gathered together, changing clothes and putting on makeup.
Everyone was as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.
While they were busy, Jiang Ruzhen pulled Shen Shuxin outside the dormitory and greeted Lu Mingzheng.
Shen Shuxin felt closer to Lu Mingzheng than to her, his mother.
The two huddled together, and Shen Shuxin chattered on and on about the problems she encountered at school. Lu Mingzheng helped her analyze the pros and cons and offered her good advice.
Shen Shuxin benefited greatly from the experience and even invited Lu Mingzheng to her home for the Chinese New Year.
Jiang Ruzhen was speechless for a moment. Lu Mingzheng's status in her family had risen sharply, and he had the four children completely under his control.
They're almost surpassing her status as a mother, and she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
"Xin Xin, are you going to the mall to buy clothes?"
"No, I want to talk to Uncle Lu."
"Then, will Mom buy you cosmetics?"
"No, I'm naturally beautiful, I don't need that much."
"Then should Mom take you out to eat?"
"Mom, I just finished eating. What restaurant did we go to? Wait a minute, I'll ask Uncle Lu for some advice on how to exercise."
"Losing weight, I know about that topic, let me tell you..."
"Mom, I'm exercising seriously, I'm not trying to lose weight."
She's done with this brat.
Jiang Ruzhen stormed out, and a moment later, Lu Mingzheng caught up with her and tried to grab her hand, but she shook him off forcefully.
"snort!"
Lu Mingzheng heard Jiang Ruzhen snort through her nose and wanted to laugh, but he held it in.
"What's wrong? We're getting married anyway, and your child and I get along so well, aren't you happy?"
Lu Mingzheng forcefully grabbed Jiang Ruzhen's small hand, interlocked their fingers, and looked at Jiang Ruzhen with anticipation.
