Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 52 She suddenly thought of—

The hottest posts on the forum had become a school beauty pageant. After staying home for a few days and going out to relax and "heal" over the weekend, Jiang Tianyao finally returned to school.

When she returned, she shared the small gifts she had bought on her weekend trip with everyone. Her classmates didn't mention the anonymous post on the forum anymore, and her girlfriends chatted with her as usual, gossiping and sharing their weekend stories.

After behaving well in class for a morning, Jiang Tianyao quickly regained the feeling of being the center of attention she used to have.

Jiang Tianyao heard about the conflict between Song Xinying and Shi Sui during morning reading, and also heard that Song Xinying went to see Shi Sui after class. However, no matter how she asked her on WeChat about what happened afterward, Song Xinying did not reply.

I had a bad feeling. Could it be that Song Xinying also got humiliated by this country bumpkin?

So at noon, she went to have lunch with Song Xinying.

As soon as get out of class ended, I took the elevator to International Class 1. By sheer coincidence, I saw Shi Sui's back in the corridor, which made me feel annoyed.

Unexpectedly, the school decided to keep Shi Sui in the international class because of the placement exam next month.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been subjected to cyberbullying on the forum, and my brother wouldn't have been slapped for no reason. Gu Chenyi was right, she really is a barbaric shrew from the countryside.

However, the class placement exam is next month, and with her terrible grades, she'll definitely be at the bottom of the grade, bringing shame to the Jiang family. Her parents will surely scold her.

And recently her brother hasn't given her any living expenses. In a few days, she'll definitely be begging for them. Let's see how long she can keep up that stunt.

As Jiang Tianyao was thinking, she saw two figures flash past her. The young man had a tall and straight back, exuding an aura of authority.

It was obvious that it was Chi Yan and his underling Yan Ze.

Jiang Tianyao felt a surge of displeasure again.

Arrogant young men naturally have a fatal attraction for teenage girls, especially Chi Yan, who comes from a noble family and looks down on everyone. No girl doesn't want to be his exception.

She deliberately tripped and fell on the road Chi Yan was passing by, then secretly fed the kittens on the path he was walking along to show her love, and pretended to be wronged and hid in his lounge to cry...

All he got in return was an impatient glance from the boy, an annoyed "Get lost," and that he rarely appeared at school again.

But last week, I heard that Chi Yan came to school for four days, breaking the record for the number of days he attended school in a week.

It's very unusual, but Jiang Tianyao doesn't think it's related to Shi Sui.

Lost in thought, Jiang Tianyao soon arrived at Class 1's classroom and saw Song Xinying, with a bow in her hair, still slumped over her desk, looking listless.

Song Xinying's girlfriends, who were also Jiang Tianyao's girlfriends, surrounded her from all sides.

"What happened?" Jiang Tianyao walked over and, seeing that Song Xinying was in a bad mood, asked one of her friends.

"It's because Shi Sui has gone crazy, like she escaped from a mental hospital."

Now that she had already revealed her dislike for Shi Sui on the forum, Jiang Tianyao decided not to maintain the image of sisterly affection anymore, saying, "She often goes crazy at home too. People from the countryside have no manners."

Jiang Tianyao asked again out of curiosity, "So what exactly happened?"

"Yes, you weren't here, so you have no idea what happened in the activity room," the girl said in a low voice. "Shi Sui went crazy for some reason, pulling hair, stuffing rags in her mouth, pinning her to the ground, hitting her, slapping her, and even trying to get rid of Xin Ying..."

"Shut up." Song Xinying, who was lying on the table, raised her head, her face slightly angry, and glared at her friend.

This is a disgrace to her.

He was unexpectedly cornered against a wall by a country girl, and fled in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry," the girl said, bowing her head in apology. "When she goes crazy, we can't stop her."

Song Xinying stopped talking. Shi Sui's face flashed through her mind again. She was undoubtedly exquisite and beautiful, but how could Shi Sui threaten her so calmly?

He also forcefully trapped her beneath him, and as he spoke, the breeze carrying his voice carried a faint, pleasant scent.

So abominable.

Seeing that Song Xinying's cheeks were slightly flushed, Jiang Tianyao asked with concern, "Xinying, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Song Xinying's face fell, and she straightened the wrinkles in her clothes. "Let's go, let's go eat."

Jiang Tianyao immediately deduced the whole story from her friend's few words—Shi Sui must have caused trouble for Song Xinying after class.

Pulling hair, stuffing rags in, pinning to the ground and beating, slapping... a shrew from the countryside is capable of anything.

It suddenly occurred to her—

Just as Jiang Tianyao was about to speak, her friend cut her off: "By the way, Tiantian, I heard that Pei Shuoxun specially invited you to his celebration banquet the other day."

"Yes, yes, I'm so envious. I don't even qualify to go."

Did he talk to you that day?

"They specially invited Sweetie, the president must have chatted with her. Tell us, what did you talk about?"

The girls looked over with gossipy expressions, but Jiang Tianyao maintained an ambiguous smile: "It's nothing, I just congratulated him on winning the award."

Thinking back to that night, she recalled being mocked while buying clothes at the mall, and felt only embarrassment.

Seeing Jiang Tianyao's delicate and charming expression, her friends all expressed their disbelief: "Tsk tsk, something else must have happened. I've always felt that Pei Shuoxun and Shangguan Ying don't have any chemistry. It's just that one is the student council president and the other is the vice president."

"Honestly, in terms of looks, I think you and Pei Shuoxun are a better match."

"That's right, that's right, Shangguan Ying is nowhere near as pretty as our Tian Tian."

……

These girls didn't get along with Shangguan Ying, so naturally they didn't want Pei Shuoxun and Shangguan Ying to be a couple.

"Enough already!" Song Xinying, who had been silent and in a bad mood, said sharply. "Jiang Tianyao has a boyfriend, so don't talk nonsense."

The girls fell silent and quickly arrived at the cafeteria.

Jiang Tianyao remembered that she had an extra allowance this month, and with the recent school beauty pageant, she needed more popularity, so she said, "Okay, okay, I'll treat everyone to lunch today. How about we go to the fifth floor?"

The girls all agreed and took the elevator to the fifth floor.

Then, I saw Shi Sui pushing a small cart by. The three-tiered cart had several dishes on each tier, and each tier was covered with a lid to keep them warm.

"How did she get here?" Song Xinying asked subconsciously, her face darkening again.

Jiang Tianyao looked in the direction Shi Sui had walked and soon saw Chi Yan and Yan Ze on the other side of the garden restaurant.

“That’s Chi Yan and his henchmen,” Jiang Tianyao said, hardly believing her eyes.

"What kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to get close to Brother Chi? They're shameless."

"Holy crap, this country bumpkin kept pestering Chi Yan, and he actually got brought here to eat?"

"I don't think so. This guy must have shamelessly sidled up to her. Tsk tsk, buying so much food must have cost her a fortune. She's such a poor girl, yet she's really willing to spend so much."

"As long as I can win over Chi Yan, I'll definitely break even. Hehe, you have so many ways to seduce men."

The sisters nodded in agreement.

"Xinying." Jiang Tianyao subconsciously looked at her best friend. She knew that Song Xinying had liked Chi Yan for many years, and deliberately hesitated before saying, "How about... how about we go downstairs to eat?"

“No, we’ll eat here.” Song Xinying said with a stern face, then suddenly turned and walked towards the cafeteria window.

Jiang Tianyao put away the conflicted expression on her face and gave a faint smile.

She knew that Song Xinying would be particularly concerned whenever Chi Yan was involved, and her suggestion to go downstairs to eat would only further agitate Song Xinying's emotions.

Now, the real show is about to begin.
