The girl who said this was the class's know-it-all; no matter which class had a transfer student or which teacher was having an affair, she was always the first to know.
Even the news that Ling Shen was going back to school came from her.
Qian Sui wasn't very concerned about Shang Anqi's affairs, or rather, she didn't want to meddle in other people's family matters.
Qian Sui said, "That's not a good idea."
Seeing that Qian Sui refused, the girl looked at Luo Xinyue again and said, "Do you want to know?"
Luo Xinyue picked up her pen and continued reading the book in her hand, but what she said was: "Go ahead and say it."
Qian Sui glanced at Luo Xinyue.
She felt that Luo Xinyue wasn't a gossipy person.
But since Qian Sui didn't say it, and Luo Xinyue wanted to hear it, she had her own reasons.
Seeing that Luo Xinyue was interested, the girl said, "He is Shang Anqi's father. He has an illegitimate daughter in the countryside, who is only a few months younger than Anqi. A few years ago, the illegitimate daughter came to the Shang family because her mother had passed away."
Although Luo Xinyue really wanted to hear it, her hand kept writing. When she heard the words "illegitimate daughter," her hand paused, but quickly returned to normal.
"Then what?"
Luo Xinyue asked.
The girl continued, "Back then, Shang Anqi and her mother absolutely refused to let that girl appear in the Shang family, so Shang Anqi's father had no choice but to give that illegitimate daughter a sum of money to leave. He thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly, the illegitimate daughter has come back in the last few days."
Qian Sui recalled Shang Anqi's tired appearance earlier and finally understood what had happened.
The fact that her father had an illegitimate daughter who was only a few months younger than her meant that her father had cheated on her while her mother was pregnant with her.
Now that illegitimate daughter has come knocking on our door, most people probably wouldn't be able to accept it.
Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue both quieted down, feeling that it wasn't appropriate to discuss other people's family affairs.
Luo Xinyue and Shang Anqi used to be friends, and even though their relationship is not good now, Luo Xinyue still wanted to know the reason after seeing Shang Anqi's behavior just now.
Now that she knew, Luo Xinyue didn't really want to listen anymore.
But once the girl started gossiping, she couldn't stop, continuing to chatter on: "And, it seems that girl was adopted by someone before, she's changed so much, she used to be a country bumpkin, but now she's become so talented and elegant. I also heard that she's transferring to our school!"
No wonder Shang Anqi broke down.
Chitose understands now.
After telling Luo Xinyue and Qian Sui, the girl still felt unsatisfied and was about to turn around and tell others, but Luo Xinyue stopped her.
"What's wrong?" the girl asked.
Luo Xinyue raised her eyes, her expression indifferent, and said, "It's best not to talk about this with others."
The girl was a little puzzled: "Xinyue, I didn't see that you and Shang Anqi got along well, so why are you protecting her now?"
Luo Xinyue said, "I don't get along with her, but I only want to confront her directly. I won't talk badly about her behind her back."
Chitose chimed in, "Of course, arguing is more fun when it's in front of the other person."
The girl still hesitated; after all, she felt uncomfortable keeping such explosive gossip to herself.
Luo Xinyue noticed her hesitation and said directly, "I'll let you copy all of this month's homework."
"Really?!" the girl exclaimed in surprise. "Then it's a deal!"
...
Although the girl didn't tell anyone about it, people still heard about it through other channels.
After all, in the world of the wealthy, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
A group of people are waiting for something bad to happen in someone else's family so they can gang up on them.
Although it's normal for wealthy families to have an illegitimate daughter, Shang Anqi was too flamboyant at school and bullied many people by using her status as the only daughter of the Shang family.
The girl who was bullied by Shang Anqi back then, now that she has caught Shang Anqi red-handed, will naturally not let her go easily.
During PE class, Shang Anqi wasn't very interested and just sat to the side to rest. The girls from the school's art troupe who had been bullied by Shang Anqi came over and deliberately mocked her.
"Hey, why isn't Anqi playing ball?"
Shang Anqi merely glanced at them without saying a word.
Another girl among the group said, "Oh my, didn't you know? Anqi has a new little sister, so naturally she's too happy to go play ball."
Upon hearing the term "new sister," Shang Anqi looked at them coldly and said, "Are you all very free?"
Several girls were also surrounding Shang Anqi, and they spoke up for her at this moment.
"What business is it of yours whether our Anqi plays basketball or not?"
"That's right. Besides, Anqi's hands are for playing the piano, not for playing basketball. Unlike your hands, which can only play basketball if you can't play the piano well."
These girls had lost to Shang Anqi in a piano competition before, so they felt mocked when they heard them say that.
Enraged, the girls said, "Heh, I've heard that your new sister has been adopted by a rich family and has many talents now. You should worry about whether your status will be taken away. Losing to us only means losing the piano, but if you lose to your sister, you'll lose both the piano and your home."
These words were so harsh that Shang Anqi unconsciously clenched her fists.
