Chapter 3
....Uncle Wang’s body trembled. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. Oh no, this little ancestor wouldn’t cry, right? Crying on the streets was not a small matter. He had to throw her into school as soon as possible. Thinking of this, he immediately assumed a 100-meter sprint posture. Just as he was about to throw her into school and run away when Yue Xin wasn’t paying attention, he heard Yue Xin say, “Uncle Wang, I’m sorry. I was too willful. Don’t be too sad. I won’t be like this in the future.”
Uncle Wang was instantly stunned. This… He wasn’t actually very sad. He was mainly afraid that his boss would deduct his pay. However, when he saw Yue Xin’s sincere apology, Uncle Wang suddenly felt that not only did he not buy breakfast for the child, but he also lied to her and made her cry. He was too beastly!
Yue Xin still didn’t know that her apology would make Uncle Wang feel extremely guilty every time he woke up in the middle of the night.
After a series of mental struggles, Uncle Wang said, “Next time, I’ll definitely buy it for you.” What he meant was that the next time they got rid of the bodyguards, he would secretly buy it for her to eat.
However, Yue Xin misunderstood Uncle Wang’s meaning and thought that he was just being perfunctory. She replied politely, “Okay.”
At the same time, Yue Xin’s classmate, Cui Peng, happened to pass by and coincidentally heard the conversation between the two of them. He was instantly shocked. Yue Xin’s family was so poor that they couldn’t even afford morning tea. So Yue Xin’s parents were poor! He usually saw that Yue Xin’s clothes were not bad, but he really didn’t expect…
12 years old was neither old nor young. He was both impulsive and reckless. After hearing the so-called secret, he strode in front of Yue Xin and anxiously shared this big matter before Yue Xin entered the classroom.
“Guess what I just heard? You definitely won’t be able to guess that Yue Xin is a liar!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he attracted the attention of the entire class. Everyone put down what they were doing and turned to look at Peng Cui.
“What? Yue Xin is a liar?”
“What happened?”
“Are you crazy? Which Yue Xin are you talking about?”
“Yue Xin from our class?”
Cui Peng took a few steps to the lecture table and picked up the blackboard eraser. He was about to give a lecture when he suddenly remembered that class was about to start. The teacher was arriving soon so he hurriedly said, “I heard the conversation between Yue Xin and her uncle at the school gate. Her uncle actually said that he was useless and really didn’t have money. After that, Yue Xin started to apologize.”
Hearing this, the students began to express their opinions.
“That’s not right. Yue Xin grew up with Lu Yu. Even if she’s not as well-off as Lu Yu’s family, she shouldn’t be too bad…”
“And the things Yue Xin usually uses aren’t cheap.”
“They’re not stolen, are they?”
“Ah? That’s too disgusting. Why would Yue Xin do that? Stealing and pretending to be rich?”
“Oh my god, she even treated me to food before. How funny. Where did she steal the money?”
“You never know. It’s stolen money. Why don’t we call the police?”
This was underscoring the saying about rumors having wings of gold. Even if it was just a hypothesis at the beginning, as more and more people said it, it slowly became true. Especially when this person was Yue Xin, the Yue Xin who went to and from school with Lu Yu every day, the Yue Xin who knew how to play the zither and dance, the Yue Xin who had many supporters because she was sweet and cute and had a good personality. Such a person who was surrounded by stars was actually a liar and a thief. How interesting was this!
Most of the time, a person’s happiness was built on the pain of others, especially those who had low self-esteem. They relied on belittling those who were better than them to recover their pitiful self-esteem and even build up an inexplicable sense of superiority.
Therefore, when Yue Xin finally arrived at the classroom, she realized that the way all the students looked at her had changed. She didn’t know how to describe this feeling, but she knew that someone with such a gaze wouldn’t be able to live to see the sun the next day in prison.
She completely ignored everyone’s gazes and walked to her seat. Just as she was about to sit down, she realized that the chair was covered in red ink. The originally clean desk was also covered in unfinished graffiti and secret words. Liar, thief, disgusting, poor, and trash were mostly childish words. There were also some words that said that she was unrestrained, flirtatious, and a few unsightly insults.
Yue Xin looked at these carefully and felt that… happiness came too suddenly! She looked at her classmates in disbelief and asked excitedly, “This is my table?”
The student did not answer him. Someone shouted, “That’s right. That’s your table. It suits you so well. Hahaha…”
Yue Xin was sure that she had been bullied in school! She really didn’t expect such a good thing to happen to her. Although she didn’t know why, she could finally have a legitimate reason to go home and not go to school anymore!
“Hey, Yue Xin, aren’t you going to sit down?”
“How can a high and mighty princess sit in a dirty chair like that?”
