Chu Xiang lived in the Shao family. She lived like a rich and powerful person. Even the cleaning, maids, and education were top-notch. She lived very comfortably. She and Shao Yan took care of the dog as if they were playing house. They also played games and worked out together. They really had a good time.
Yu Nan and Yang Xueqing also came to see her, but she didn't go out with them because she was still interested in the dog. She just went outside to relax.
Only the principal and a few people knew about Shao Yan's identity. In addition, Shao Yan didn't talk or interact with others, so his classmates didn't know about his family's situation. Naturally, there was no gossip about him and Chu Xiang.
However, there was some gossip about the grudges between the real and fake daughters of the Chu family. Most of it was among their peers. Almost all the classmates mentioned the Chu sisters to their friends over the weekend. They also mentioned the rumors about the two sisters in the three months before and after. It became a rumor that the two sisters were fighting to be the heiress.
Almost no one in the circle had seen Chu Xiang. Except for the classmates in the school, the only time they saw Chu Xiang was at the banquet held by the Chu family. At that banquet, several people saw Chu Xuan fall in front of Chu Xiang in the garden. They believed that Chu Xuan was born in the countryside and was unbearably shrewish.
The rumors in the school before were that Chu Xiang was gloomy and rustic. Anyway, there was nothing good about her. Everyone didn't have a good impression of her. But this time, the situation was reversed. Chu Xuan's painted face alone was enough to make them laugh for a long time. Like the classmates in the school, they also didn't believe that someone could draw such a good painting when Chu Xuan was struggling. It was obviously painted by Chu Xuan herself!
Chu Xiang's roommates liked to go to parties. When people found out that they lived with Chu Xiang, they were curious and asked a lot of questions.
"What's Chu Xiang like in private? Do you think she's dirty? She's also very childish and jealous. "
"No, we heard that before. But when we saw Chu Xiang, we felt that she was very easy to get along with. She also likes to laugh. She doesn't look gloomy at all. When we encountered questions that we didn't know, she would patiently explain them to us. "
"She explained questions to you? Was this for real? Didn't she transfer from a bad school that he had never heard of? I heard that you were the last in the previous monthly exams. "
"She's in the last place. I've asked her as well. When she first came to school, she felt that everyone was unfamiliar. She was embarrassed that she couldn't keep up with the classes. Now, she was especially hardworking. When she saw the teacher, she would ask questions. When she was free, she would memorize books and do practice questions. She was even self-studying the first year of high school. She even went to our Year One teacher's office to ask questions. That's why when we encounter questions that we don't know, it just so happens that she just learned it. "
The people who heard this did not quite understand. "What do you mean? She worked hard to learn and asked the teacher, so she knows everything? "
"Yes, yes, yes." Chu Xiang's roommate nodded excitedly. "You don't know, but Chu Xiang is super smart. As long as the teacher explains it to her once, she immediately knows it. The same type of questions can't stump her. She has a photographic memory. Our dormitory leader is going to participate in a speech competition and is memorizing the speech in the dormitory. Chu Xiang only read the speech once, but she can actually tell the dormitory leader where the words are missing and where the mistakes are. She's amazing. She's simply my new idol! "
Chu Xiang's roommate's words were a little unbelievable. It had completely overturned their understanding of Chu Xiang. They thought that the real daughter of a poor family would be rustic, a little timid, not well-educated, and easy to make a fool of. Who knew that they would hear a completely different answer from Chu Xiang's roommate.
There were also other people who heard a lot of information from Chu Xiang's classmates:
Chu Xiang was so focused on her studies that the teacher praised her for every subject. She had already become the teacher's favorite smart student. She never got any questions wrong in class.
Chu Xiang confronted Chu Xuan directly, saying that Chu Xuan was a Virgin Mary green tea b * tch who directed and acted out her own plot to frame her. However, she was afraid that Chu Xuan would go back and complain, so she decided to let it go.
Chu Xiang almost drowned. After that, she did not go home. Her family did not call her, nor did they come to school to look for her. According to her parents, she did not dare to go back and directly lived on campus because they wanted her to drop out of school.
Compared to the two sisters of the Chu Group, Chu Xuan was more like a rich daughter. Chu Xiang was more like a hard-working person who relied on her grades to enter the company. Her biggest dream was to get into a good university and find a good job.
Find a good job? Everyone's first reaction was to laugh when they heard this, but then they started to think about it. Chu Xiang was completely disliked in the Chu family. She was supposed to be the only heir of the Chu Group, but tens of billions of assets seemed to have nothing to do with her. She did not even dare to go home and only wanted to study hard to find a good job.
This was a bit strange!
They wanted to see the two sisters of the Chu family, but Chu Xuan and Chu Xiang did not go out to play this weekend, which made people even more curious. At least, more and more people were looking forward to seeing Chu Xiang. They all wanted to verify whether the real Chu Xiang was a vicious man-eating flower or an inspirational messenger.
A few people also mentioned it to their parents and elders at home.
The Chu family was considered to be in the upper-class circle in Beijing. Although they were not the top rich and powerful family, many people still knew that the Chu family carried the wrong child. Previously, they only heard that the one who was found was not good enough, so the Chu family did not bring it out. Now, they heard a different version from the children.
Whether it was the fake daughter who directed and acted out her own plot to frame the real daughter, or the real daughter who was jealous and framed the fake daughter, both foretold that the Chu family would be in chaos. At the same time, it was clear that the Chu couple did not handle this matter well. Three months had passed, but there were still conflicts in the family and rumors were spreading.
Families with a bit of status and wealth had removed the Chu sisters from the list of marriage alliances. In their view, even if Chu Xiang was innocent, she did not have the temperament of a big family and did not have enough understanding of the upper-class circle. She was not qualified to be the matriarch. What's more, she did not have the support of her family and might not even be able to inherit the family business. Even if she inherited it, her parents' somewhat muddle-headed style was likely to drag her family down.
It did not matter if the children were friends, but marriage was out of the question. If they wanted to cooperate, they had to consider carefully. As long as there were other options, they did not need to choose the Chu family.
While Chu Xuan's father was still working overtime in the company, the Chu family had been moved to the bottom of the list of candidates for some projects.
Of course, there were also some families similar to the Chu family, or those who were not so clear-headed, and those who were ambitious, who had ideas about Chu Xuan and Chu Xiang.
These two girls did not seem to be able to carry the company. If they married them, wouldn't they have a chance to swallow the Chu family?
It was obviously not a good thing to be targeted by people with bad intentions and treated as a delicious cake. The future of the Chu family quietly became difficult.
However, Chu Xuan's father and mother did not feel it at all. They even felt that their life was going to be as comfortable as before. Perhaps they should have let Chu Xiang live in the dormitory a long time ago. They should have arranged for Chu Xiang to go to another school. That way, they would only need to spend money to support Chu Xiang. By separating Chu Xiang from them, Chu Xiang would not have so many opportunities to bully Chu Xuan. She would not make them fly into a rage, and she would not make so many jokes and embarrass them.
Chu Xuan's father and mother were very satisfied with Chu Xiang's living in the school, so they did not care about this matter. They did not even ask the teacher about it. Naturally, they missed the opportunity to learn the new situation from the teacher.
Chu Xuan's mother and three other wives went to the spa. One of them was Mrs. Li's daughter, who was in the same class as Chu Xiang and Chu Xuan. She knew more about these things, so she mentioned it. "Isn't it inappropriate for your two daughters to be together? After all, their identities are awkward. It's better for them to be separated. "
Chu Xuan's mother felt a little embarrassed. She had not felt this way for many years. Since Chu Xiang appeared, she had experienced this feeling one after another. How could she not feel disgusted with Chu Xiang?
She put on an indifferent expression and said, "It's okay. The mid-term exam is coming soon. At that time, they will be assigned to different classes according to their grades. They will naturally be assigned to different classes to avoid awkwardness. I thought that Chu Xiang had just transferred to another school and was unfamiliar with the place. It would be better if Xuanxuan took care of her. I didn't expect that … I would make a fool of myself. "
Mrs. Li waved her hand and said, "The children are just fooling around. What kind of joke is this? But when girls grow up, their image and reputation are very important. They should pay attention to it. Otherwise, they will be easily bullied. Don't you think so? "
Most of the wives' relationships were based on interests. Few of them had close girlfriends. They were very plastic. No matter how well-mannered they were, Mrs. Li certainly did not want to talk about the things in the school in detail. She just said a few words.
Chu Xuan's mother had always been satisfied with her daughter. When she heard that, she thought that it was because she had fallen into the water at the swimming pool previously. Chu Xiang almost drowned. The parents of these children must know about it. Chu Xiang pushed Chu Xuan with a black heart. In the end, she got into an accident. How embarrassing!
Chu Xuan's mother could not possibly complain about her family's dirty laundry to others. She maintained a dignified smile and said, "The child was only found at this age. Her personality has already been set. It's not easy to discipline her. Fortunately, it's not a big deal. I can teach her slowly. Sooner or later, she will get better. "
When Mrs. Li heard that, she was completely biased towards Chu Xuan. She did not think that Chu Xuan was at fault at all. All the fault was on Chu Xiang. Mrs. Li could not help but look at her. Chu Xuan's school uniform was cut into pieces and her face was painted with a toad. She insisted that it was Chu Xiang who did it. However, Chu Xiang was found to be innocent. It was even found out that Chu Xuan was the one who directed and acted it. Chu Xuan's mother was fine. She even thought that Chu Xiang was at fault? How biased was Chu Xuan?
Mrs. Li could not imagine that Chu Xuan's mother did not know about it. Even she, an outsider, knew about it. How could Chu Xuan's mother not know about it? Therefore, she directly interpreted Chu Xuan's mother's words as being biased towards Chu Xuan.
Judging from the fact that Chu Xuan's mother did not get angry and ask the school to investigate, Mrs. Li knew that it was not someone else who did it. Otherwise, who would not be angry when their children were treated like this? Chu Xuan's mother must have met a pervert. How dangerous!
In Mrs. Li's eyes, Chu Xuan's mother's reaction became the evidence that Chu Xuan had directed and acted and wronged Chu Xiang. Mrs. Li's mother's bias made Mrs. Li remove her from the list of contacts. She secretly decided to have less contact with Chu Xuan in the future. Of course, she also told her children to stay away from Chu Xuan. In order to keep her position in the Chu family, Chu Xuan directed and acted a pervert. She caused the real daughter of the Chu family to drop out of school. She was so vicious at such a young age. She could not get in touch with anyone.
Mrs. Li also had her friends. Naturally, she would tell them later. However, it was not a big deal. This matter only spread a few words among the ladies. However, as long as a second person knew about it, it would become public sooner or later. Only a few people knew about it now. It was just that time was short.
Only a few people knew about it. They all felt that Chu Xuan and Chu Xuan were cruel. They only cared about the child they raised and were especially cold to the child they found outside. Think about it. If Chu Xiang really dropped out of school because of the toad incident, she would be disliked by the family. She would not be able to be the heir. She would not even be able to study. Wouldn't she be useless in the future? When Chu Xuan chased her out after Chu Xuan and Chu Xuan passed away, she would not even have the ability to support herself.
No wonder Chu Xiang was studying so hard now. If she could persevere, she would be quite smart. She knew how to use the resources available to her for her own benefit. Although this "benefit" was too insignificant to them, it was the best that Chu Xianglai could get at the moment.
The image of Chu Xuan and Chu Xuan treating their biological daughter harshly was like a seed sown in the circle. As long as it was fertilized and watered, it would grow into a ginseng tree that could not be washed clean.
And all of this was the result of Chu Xiang laying the groundwork. She liked this kind of method the most. She would dig a hole in a circle and make a move in the end. Who asked her to be weak in the early stages of her transmigration? This kind of method was the most useful and the most convenient.
She let the Heaven and Earth Mirror go out for a few rounds. She had a specific understanding of the current development situation and adjusted her plan in time.
Before the morning reading on Monday, there were not many people in the class. Chu Xiang was embarrassed to borrow money from Yu Nan.
Shao Yan looked at her in confusion. Didn't his parents give her a card? Why did she still want to borrow money from others? Did she not want to spend his family's money?
Yu Nan was also stunned. "How much do you need?"
Chu Xiang: "Two hundred yuan."
"Ah? Two hundred yuan? "This time, not only Yu Nan was stunned, but several people in the class were also stunned. They all looked at Chu Xiang in unison.
Chu Xiang blushed and lowered her head. She said in a low voice, "My family … stopped my card. I, I didn't withdraw cash before. I also tied the card to my WeChat account. So now I don't, I don't have money to eat."
There were sounds of disbelief in the class. Chu Xiang was embarrassed. She looked up and approached Yu Nan. "Don't worry. I'll find a part-time job this weekend. I'll pay you back in half a month at most."
Yu Nan saw that she was anxious and took out her phone to make money for her. She was puzzled. "You work on the weekend and spend two hundred yuan a week? Do you eat rice and vegetables? I'll transfer you ten thousand yuan first. "
"No, no, no." Chu Xiang was shocked and hurriedly stopped her. "It's good enough to earn a few hundred yuan a week. I can't afford to pay you back if you lend me so much money. Two hundred yuan a week is enough. Really, just lend me two hundred yuan. By the way, I won't eat lunch with you guys. I'll eat in the cafeteria. "
Yu Nan was a straightforward person. Seeing her like this, she was also a little anxious. "No, why are you being so silly? A meal in the cafeteria costs at least thirty yuan, right? You only eat one meal a week? Also, why did your family stop your card? "
Dong Fei came to look for Yu Nan. When she heard this, her eyes widened in surprise. "Stop your card? Your family doesn't give you money to spend? Why? Because of the locker room incident? "
Yu Nan was irritated. "What do they want? The director found out that it had nothing to do with you. Did Chu Xuan go home and complain? "
Chu Xiang heard her voice. She hurriedly stood up and covered her mouth. She looked at her classmates awkwardly. "Uh … I'm sorry …"
The few classmates in the class didn't know what to say. They hadn't reacted yet. Two hundred yuan? Two hundred yuan for a week?
Someone asked curiously, "Chu Xiang, two hundred yuan … How are you going to eat?"
Chu Xiang said matter-of-factly, "Aren't there steamed buns in the cafeteria? Two yuan for one. A bowl of soup is eight yuan. Ten yuan for a meal is enough. Two hundred yuan is enough to spend. " She saw everyone's shocked expression and sat down. "It's true. Maybe you're not used to it, but sometimes I can't eat. A steamed bun and a bowl of delicious soup is really enough."
Dong Fei couldn't accept it and asked, "You should explain to your parents. If they don't believe you, we can explain it for you. Or we can ask them to come to the school to watch the surveillance cameras."
Yu Nan stood up and walked around. She said angrily, "This time it's obvious that Chu Xuan cheated you. Your parents are actually punishing you. There's something wrong with their brains!"
Dong Fei pushed her. Yu Nan pressed on Chu Xiang's table and said, "What are you afraid of? This kind of thing should be dealt with properly. Weren't you very tough when you were a green tea b * tch?"
Chu Xiang shook her head awkwardly. "No, you don't understand. I'll really be locked up at home and suspended from school. My family is not a place to be reasonable. What's the use of going back? I might not even be able to eat when I go back. "
The few classmates thought that her "not being able to eat" was when the Chen family was poor. They didn't expect her to be in the Chu family. This kind of melodramatic gossip attracted them so much that they didn't even blink.
Chu Xiang didn't want to think about it anymore. She pulled Yu Nan and said, "Okay, Nannan, lend me 200 yuan. I'm fine now. As long as I maintain the status quo, it doesn't matter if they don't give me money. Anyway, I used to work to earn money. It's nothing. My life now is much better than before. "
Dong Fei wasn't as straightforward as Yu Nan. She thought about it. They were loyal and wanted to help Chu Xiang, but their family was indeed not a place to be reasonable. Judging from the behavior of the Chu couple, Chu Xiang might really be locked up when she went back.
Besides, the Chu family originally wanted to suspend Chu Xiang. If they overreached and caused Chu Xiang to be unable to study, they would be guilty. Not to mention that after the Chu family was locked up, those damn servants didn't send Chu Xiang food. With Chu Xiang's malnourished body, the Chu family was a tiger's den!
Dong Fei pulled Yu Nan and said to Chu Xiang seriously, "It's okay to lend you money, but you have to eat with us. Good friends don't care so much. If you don't eat with us, you don't give us face. "
Chu Xiang smiled helplessly and shook her head. "I really can't give you face. I know you're doing it for my own good, but I can't eat with you. What's the difference between that and taking advantage of you? I'll look down on myself. In fact, I originally planned to not rely on my family when I turned 18. If it weren't for my 18th birthday, I wouldn't have spent the Chu family's money. Now, I'm just becoming independent earlier. It's nothing. Let me be self-reliant. "
Yu Nan said angrily, "You're still underage. Let them support you. They have the obligation to raise children!"
Chu Xiang smiled. "Didn't they pay my tuition fees? It's more than a million yuan a year. I may not be able to earn that much in my lifetime. I'm satisfied. Fortunately, I paid for a year's accommodation two years ago. Otherwise, I might have to sleep on the streets. Okay, don't be angry. I'm not angry. How can you have all the good things in life? I'm already very lucky. "
Seeing this, Dong Fei sent Chu Xiang 200 yuan on WeChat and pulled Yu Nan out. "I'll persuade her. Don't worry. I won't let her do anything."
Chu Xiang also said to her classmates, "I'm sorry to disturb your morning study. Well … I hope you can help me with the matter just now. Don't go out."
Her classmates nodded. Some of them wanted to ask Chu Xiang about food and work, but Chu Xiang had already taken out her exercise book. When they thought of how Chu Xiang, the daughter of a rich family, had been reduced to studying as her only way out, they couldn't ask any more questions. They quietly gave her the best learning environment.
Shao Yan couldn't help but send a message to Chu Xiang. [Let's eat together. I'll ask my family to cook and send it over at noon. You have to nourish your body. You can't eat steamed buns and soup.]
Chu Xiang checked her phone quietly and found that Shao Yan had sent her such a long message. Obviously, he was a little anxious. She explained. [I'm pretending. If I don't eat steamed buns, how can I let the whole school know that the Chu family suspended my card? Don't worry. It won't affect me if I eat a few steamed buns. I'll go to your house to eat delicious food on the weekend.]
Shao Yan was stunned. He didn't find it strange. Just like how Chu Xiang pretended not to know how to do exercises, he found that she was completely different from what he knew. He breathed a sigh of relief and was a little happy at the same time. It was because he was the only one who knew the real Chu Xiang. It was also because of Chu Xiang's trust in him.
He insisted. [I'll bring it to you secretly. You eat it secretly. Zhang is a retired soldier and my bodyguard. He's very good at anti-reconnaissance. Let him keep a lookout and he won't be discovered.]
Chu Xiang had already noticed that Zhang wasn't an ordinary driver. He was probably not an ordinary retired soldier, but a soldier king. She didn't know why the Shao family hired such a powerful bodyguard and driver for Shao Yan.
However, she was very relieved with Zhang around, so she agreed to Shao Yan's suggestion.
The students came to class. In the morning, the students didn't make a mess. However, Chu Xiang went to the cafeteria to eat steamed buns and soup at noon and night. Then, she took a book and went to some corner to study. Many people noticed and even posted a post on the forum to express their doubts.
After all, the tuition fee of this school was a million yuan. Which student had eaten such a simple meal? Of course, they were confused about what Chu Xiang was doing.
Chu Xuan brought her own food. She didn't want to go to the cafeteria and be surrounded by so many people, so she kept a low profile and stayed in the classroom. It wasn't until she saw the post that she realized what Chu Xiang had done.
The Chu family had stopped Chu Xiang's card, and Chu Xiang was so shabby. Wasn't this embarrassing the Chu family? What would the people in the school think of the Chu family? How would they treat her?
Before Chu Xuan could do anything, someone anonymously posted on the forum about Chu Xiang's card being suspended. He said that Chu Xiang couldn't resist. If she resisted, she wouldn't be able to go to school. She would even be grounded and not be able to eat.
Chu Xiang, the daughter of a rich family, could only eat steamed buns every day and work on weekends to earn money. She was at risk of dropping out of school at any time. Chu Xuan ate delicacies carefully prepared by her family and had a driver to send her to and from school. It was obvious who was wronged.
The teachers and students in the school had a deeper understanding of the "Chu family".
