Chapter 396: 183 Beauty (One more update)
Translator: 549690339
Zhu Xiangxiang rested at home for a week and returned to school on Monday after recovering from her illness.
Zhu Shaodan dyed his hair black and put on his uniform, but the rebellious teen still maintained his stubbornness. When the wind blew, the colorful strands hidden within his black hair were revealed.
“How’s the self-criticism letter coming along?” Inside the car on the way to school, Zhu Xiangxiang adjusted Zhu Shaodan’s collar and asked gently.
Zhu Shaodan pulled out a thick stack of printed papers from his bag.
“Anyway, that old man didn’t specify whether it should be handwritten or printed.”
Zhu Xiangxiang smiled helplessly, “Lucky for you, mom donated a library to the school, otherwise, you might have been expelled on the first day of school. Focus on your studies from now on and stop breaking school rules.”
Zhu Shaodan grunted and turned his head away arrogantly.
He had become infamous overnight. The moment he appeared at the school gate, he was surrounded by stares from all directions.
Some of these stares were scornful, fearful, or cautious. People kept a two-meter distance when they walked past him, as if he was a carrier of some super virus.
Zhu Xiangxiang became the only one walking beside Zhu Shaodan. Naturally, from that day on, no one dared to bully her in person anymore.
However, the rumors about her became even more rampant.
As Zhu Xiangxiang walked to her classroom, she sensed that people were looking at her strangely, and it wasn’t just because of Zhu Shaodan’s intimidation.
When Wu Jiajia handed over her Chinese homework, she quickly threw Zhu Xiangxiang a note and turned away.
Zhu Xiangxiang secretly opened the note. After reading what was written on it, her face changed instantly.
Who the hell spread this rumor?
Now, the whole school knows that she, Zhu Xiangxiang, is a mercenary and heartless social climber who ignored her own brother’s death.
People were afraid of Zhu Shaodan, so they didn’t dare say anything to her face, but she could imagine the nasty things they were saying about her behind her back.
Zhu Xiangxiang crumpled the note and took a deep breath.
Only Zhu Mingjing would know about this. It must have been her who spread the rumor.
Tao Xingxing didn’t come to school today, claiming to be sick. Still, hardly anyone in her class dared to talk to Zhu Xiangxiang.
In part, because of Ming Jing, and certainly, because of Zhu Shaodan, who would just beat up anyone without any repercussions. So, just to avoid being beaten up by Zhu Shaodan, it was better for everyone to avoid provoking Zhu Xiangxiang.
If the rumors were true, then Zhu Xiangxiang was morally bankrupt. Even though no one is perfect, she was ruthless and ungrateful to the extreme, deserving only of disdain.
She could do nothing but swallow her pride and bear it…
During the flag-raising ceremony, Zhu Shaodan was honorably called on stage to read his self-criticism in front of the whole school. He stumbled through the reading and was sent off the stage by the principal after just a few sentences.
Such a student was incredibly infuriating. If he kept reading, the principal would lose all his dignity.
“Mr. Zhu, you really made a name for yourself this time. Even the principal can’t do anything about you, truly impressive.” When Zhu Shaodan returned to his class, he was immediately surrounded by two sycophants, massaging his shoulders and flanking him on either side.
Zhu Shaodan smirked, “From now on, Class 8 is mine. Follow me, and I will make sure you live the good life.”
The two lads were thrilled and began showering him with praise.
Others in Class 8 avoided him like a plague but some of the boys idolized him, hoping to gain some power and influence by association.
Now everyone knew about a student in Senior Class 1/8 called Zhu Shaodan, Mr. Zhu from the Zhu family, Ming Jing’s biological younger brother. On the first day of school, he beat up Qi An and got off with just a week of suspension. Whichever way you looked at it, he was someone not to be messed with.
“From now on, don’t call me ‘young master’, it’s so unpleasant. Just call me ‘boss’.” 𝔣𝚛eewe𝚋𝚗𝚘𝚟e𝔩.𝚌𝔬m
Zhou Xiang considered this and said, “Boss Dan, we’ll call you Boss Dan from now on.”
Zhu Shaodan nodded approvingly, feeling like he was on his way to becoming as authoritative as Master Xiao. One day, he would be even more powerful than him.
Ji Dagui said, “Boss Dan, there’s something you probably don’t know yet. It’s about Sister Xiangxiang.”
As soon as it had something to do with Zhu Xiangxiang, Zhu Shaodan immediately asked, “Did someone bully her?”
Ji Dagui quickly shook his head, “No, it’s about a rumor regarding Sister Xiangxiang. They say…”.
Ji Dagui explained everything, “Sister Xiangxiang doesn’t seem like that kind of person, does she? But the rumor is so detailed, what do you think we should do, Boss Dan?”
