Chu Yu never bullies others, but she also doesn't let others bully her. Chen's mother always had a stern face, which Chu Yu had noticed long ago, but she felt that she was Chen Qiufen's mother after all, so Chu Yu didn't say anything.
But she never expected Chen Qiufen to say such a thing.
Chu Yu stared at Chen Qiufen with a half-smile, and said in front of her roommate:
"What do you mean by that, Auntie? You came in with a dark face and your words were sarcastic. Who are you trying to talk to? Why don't you just name names?"
Chen's mother was confident because she had been transferred to Beijing this year and was expected to become a leader in the education department, where she might even be able to take charge of Chu Yu.
She's an old-fashioned, bookish person who can't accept any flexibility. She's the kind of person who would slut-shame a female student for getting her ears pierced, to the point of expelling her. She thinks that any boy with good grades who dates a girl is being seduced by her words and eyes.
She naturally couldn't accept Chu Yu, nor was she afraid of offending him. Besides, Chu Yu had taken away Chen Qiufen's opportunity to go abroad, and she was angry about it, so she smiled immediately:
"Look at this student, so young, yet he dares to talk back to his elders. He really hasn't been properly taught. Didn't your mother teach you to be polite to your elders?"
“I was taught that if elders are polite, I should be polite too. If elders don’t behave like human beings, then don’t treat them like human beings either.”
Mrs. Chen was furious. She had always been arrogant and haughty, and this was the first time she had been so humiliated. She immediately snorted coldly:
“What business is it of yours if I scold my daughter! The apples I brought for her were very expensive; you can't get them anywhere else. And she went and cut them for those shady people. Of course I wasn't happy about that.”
Chu Yu glanced at Chen Qiufen, who looked shocked, ashamed, and apologetic as she looked at Chu Yu.
She grabbed Chen's mother's arm, trying to stop her from making a fool of herself, but Chen's mother wouldn't listen.
"What? Is what I said wrong?" Chen's mother sneered. "I told you long ago that these apples are very expensive. You can't eat them without a certain status. Even if you are generous and want to share, you can't give them to people like that."
After saying that, Chen's mother placed a plate of apples on Chen Qiufen's table.
Zhang Ying's mouth gaped open, she just couldn't understand. Although Chen Qiufen had some minor flaws and liked to engage in bureaucracy, she was still a pretty good person. How did she end up with such a shameless mother?
Li Miao was also stunned. She felt that if she had a mother like that, she would be so ashamed that she would jump into the river.
Chu Yu felt incredibly small. She had no idea where she had offended Chen's mother, who had actually humiliated her like a slut in front of so many people!
They're hoping to drive her away, make her cry, and leave her unable to lift her head.
Unfortunately, Chu Yu was born immune to psychological manipulation.
Are elders so great? Do they have the right to make veiled criticisms? Do they have the right to do inhuman things?
"Elder" is a respectful term and should not be insulted in this way.
Chu Yu picked up the plate from Chen Qiufen's table, and Chen's mother was displeased, scoffing and mocking:
"You're getting all worked up over the apples my family cut for Qiufen? I've said it before, we don't give our apples to people with bad character or questionable conduct. I hope you'll stop corrupting my family's Qiufen and the atmosphere of Tsinghua University."
Chu Yu really thought this kind of person was trash.
Chen's mother was the kind of person Chu Yu hated the most—the kind of person with extreme views, a natural hatred of women, who would abuse her power at school, subject ignorant female students to slut-shaming, and even drive a female student to jump off a building.
Chu Yu sneered: "That's right, such good apples shouldn't be given to scumbags who are disrespectful to their elders!"
Chen's mother was so angry she almost hit her.
Who are you talking about!
"I'll call anyone trash!"
"What right do you have to insult me! Call your parents here, I want to ask them how they raised you!"
Unable to out-argue Chu Yu, Chen's mother grabbed the porcelain plate, trying to snatch the apples away, as if by taking the plate of apples she would defeat Chu Yu and this bad trend that she disapproved of.
Chu Yu looked thin, but she was very strong. She didn't give an inch. Chen's mother used all her strength. Chu Yu smiled and used a clever trick. Chen's mother lost her balance and fell backward, her head hitting the corner of the table with a thud.
The plate of apples was spilled, covering her face.
Chen's mother, relying on her status, has always been arrogant. Wherever she stands, she acts like a proud rooster. She is used to doing whatever she wants in her hometown and thinks that since Beijing is her hometown, she can also act arrogantly and throw tantrums whenever she wants.
If you want to use your power to oppress people, then use your power to oppress people.
Chen Qiufen's former roommate was humiliated by her and dropped out of school, which gave Chen Qiufen the opportunity to get extra points to enter Tsinghua University.
Chen's mother thought that Chu Yu would be the same way, so she wanted to humiliate Chu Yu and make her suffer from rumors and gossip, so that she would lose interest in studying. After Chu Yu dropped out of school, wouldn't it be almost Chen Qiufen who went abroad to study?
But Chu Yu wasn't buying it at all. Not only was she unmoved, this female student was also incredibly fierce, even defeating Chen's mother!
"You, you, you... This is my Qiufen's apple! You ill-mannered, shameless slut, I'm definitely going to report you to your homeroom teacher!"
Does this guy think he's a primary school student, always tattling?
Chu Yu chuckled and looked down at Chen's mother, saying:
"First, this is my apple. I kindly offered your daughter an apple, and you jumped out to make veiled accusations. Don't you have any shame? Second, adults shouldn't go to the homeroom teacher when they have a conflict. They should go directly to the police station. We'll go to the police station right now and tell them what you've done. Let them see how you, at your age, can so shamelessly bully a vulnerable student like me."
Chen's mother was stunned. Was this Zhou Chuyu's apple?
She was convinced that the apples were Chen Qiufen's because they were specially supplied and each one had a sweet core. It was rare to find such apples these days. When she saw the sweet core, she subconsciously felt that Chen Qiufen had treated everyone to them.
