Chapter 20: Rumors

Translator: Lonelytree

This school was where the heirs of Pearl River City’s upper-class gathered. The students here were either from very rich families or had with excellent grades. There were students with parents in important government postings too, like lawyers, politicians and so on.

But even at a place like this, Mo Li stood out, she was like the Paris Hilton of their school. She was the sole daughter of the business mogul behind Pearl River’s hotelier, foreign trade and financial business.

She came to school dressed in the latest fashion and the most expensive brand. She was admired, or rather feared, by many. Her aura and arrogance that surpassed her age meant that she would be a topic of conversation wherever she went.

Her unpredictable temperament and aloof nature made her unapproachable. She always gave the impression that she looked down on others around her and honestly, she did.

In other contrast, Qiao Qing was the friendly girl with great results. She was popular with everyone.

…

The moment Mo Li walked into school, everyone looked at her with surprise. She wondered if there was something on her face that these people were staring at her so intently.

Ignoring them, Mo Li made way to her class. As she prepared to open the door, Mo Li felt something. She jumped back 2 steps. A pail of squid ink fell, permeating the classroom with a fishy smell.

Mo Li stepped over the pool of ink casually and walked to her seat. There she discovered her seat was stuffed with rubbish.

All her belongings were thrown into the rubbish bin. While the rubbish was used to fill her desk drawer and locker. Mo Li walked towards her desk with a frown, not noticing the invisible fishing line that had pulled taut before her ankle.

Just as everyone thought she was going to trip, Mo Li lifted her feet and stomped heavily on the fishing line, causing the two boys who were holding the fishing line to fall to the ground, dragging their tables with them. Mo Li’s wintry gaze fell on the two boys on the ground.

One of the boys tried his best to explain, “Sorry… We didn’t want to! But Sister Xi told us to do this!” The two boys had to follow Sister Xi’s orders because they were afraid of her. But Mo Li with her family background and temper was not easy to deal with either. The boys were truly the sacrifice in this battle.

From the novel, Mo Li knew of Zhou Xi. In the original story, Zhou Xi and Qiao Qing were also very good friends. Their friendship didn’t blossom when they were in high school, but instead it solidified after graduation. Zhou Xi helped Qiao Qing many times.

Zhou Xi was another person charmed by Qiao Qing’s obedience, understanding and kindness. As Qiao Qing slowly made her way up from an orphan to a woman of power, she had many aid along the way and one of the people she always had by her side was Zhou Xi.

…

And, speak of the devil, once she heard that Mo Li had returned to school, Zhou Xi immediately rushed over to witness the result of her handiwork. She barged into the classroom through the back door.

She saw Mo Li standing there perfectly unruffled while her lackeys were groaning on the ground. Zhou Xi was furious.

Zhou Xi was tall and slender, with short hair that reached her ears. Her facial features were decent. She looked like a fearless and lively character, the kind who would not hesitate to mind other people’s business.

Mo Li only needed a glance to know this Zhou Yi was more than a spoiled child. Zhou Yi had ear piercings, which she removed whenever there was a spot check. Zhou Yi’s father was the school director, but only one of the many school directors, so Zhou Yi didn’t dare to push the envelope too far either. But her mannerism and way of dressing was already ‘gangsta’ enough in the eyes of the other students.

The students inside the classroom automatically retreated to the side.

No one wanted to interfere in this matter, but no one went to get the teacher either. Instead, many people were excited because Mo Li was finally going to get her comeuppance. They were victims of Mo Li’s tyranny for so long, it was time for the bitch to fall!

“Mo Li, you bitch, how dare you show your face around here again? Your brother’s career is ruined because of you!” Zhou Xi shouted at Mo Li. “Do you not have a heart? Get out of school. My father’s school doesn’t welcome a human stain like you.”

Mo Li turned to her accuser and demanded plainly, “You’re quite an interesting person. Where did you get that news? Who said I ruined my brother’s career?” The original Mo Li had asked her family the same question, but she was ignored and silenced. After all, Mo Zheng’s words carried more weight than hers. Honestly, Mo Li had no one but herself to blame for her bad history. She got so tired of defending herself, that in the end, she just gave up and admitted to the sin just because she could.

“What, what do you mean? You were the one who hit Brother Zheng! Everyone at school knows about it!”
