Chapter 372: 171 Style (First Update)

“This morning Madam Zhu personally drove her to school in a red Ferrari, you can’t imagine how ostentatious it was.”

“What’s going on, exactly? Wasn’t there talk of Zhu Xiangxiang being thrown out by the Zhus? How did she get back there? Have the Zhu family gone blind, still favoring her even with the presence of Zhu Mingjing, the family’s gem of a daughter?”

“They’re just supporting another person, the Zhu’s is a wealthy family, they wouldn’t worry about afford it. Probably they’re just afraid of gossip, just putting on appearances. Even so, she still can’t compete with Zhu Mingjing, the rightful young lady of the Zhu family.”

During morning study time, small groups in the class were discussing the scene at the school gate this morning, occasionally glancing towards the protagonist of the incident, sat in the back corner.

“A centipede dies but never falls down.” Tao Xingxing snapped her pencil in her hand and said venomously.

“Xingxing, what…what are you planning to do?” Ma Xiaoxiao, her desk-mate, was a reserved and shy girl. They quickly became good friends after meeting just yesterday, and she was somewhat frightened seeing Tao Xingxing like this.

Tao Xingxing sneered: “That shameless Zhu Xiangxiang not only stole Mingjing’s mother, but also shamelessly dwells in Mingjing’s house. She’s so cunning, Mingjing is no match for her. As Mingjing’s good friend, it’s my duty and responsibility to help Mingjing reclaim her home.”

Tao Xingxing gestured: “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her. Once she falls into my hands, I’ll make her pay.”

Tao Xingxing was popular, and had friends in every class. Now, taking advantage of her status as Mingjing’s best friend, she thrived in class four, enhanced by her revolutionary friendship with Huang Liang, she successfully got elected as class monitor.

The class monitor is a symbol of authority, if they want to make life hard for someone, it’s easy.

As the end of class approached, Huang Liang said, “Our class hasn’t elected a group secretary yet. Let’s take this time to decide the candidate. This time we’re not voting. The work of group secretary is different from other class officers, it requires those with high ideological awareness, any self-nominations?”

Everyone exchanged glances. Tao Xingxing immediately raised her hand: “Sir, I would like to nominate someone.”

Huang Liang nodded, “Go on.”

Tao Xingxing stood up with a smile, “I nominate Zhu Xiangxiang.”

The whole class fell silent, Zhu Xiangxiang included.

Zhu Xiangxiang abruptly looked up at Tao Xingxing. Since she was as close as peas and carrots with Zhu Mingjing, why would she kindly nominate her?

What was she trying to pull?

Huang Liang looked towards Zhu Xiangxiang. He didn’t completely understand the students’ gossip, but he knew that Zhu Xiangxiang was previously the school’s top beauty, and her academic performance was decent too. He thus nodded his head: “Zhu Xiangxiang, what do you think?”

Zhu Xiangxiang stood up, intending to refuse subconsciously: “Sir, I…”

“Sir, as far as I know, Zhu Xiangxiang was the group secretary when she was a junior. She’s sure to be proficient at this work. Now that we are a class, our priority is to honor the class. Zhu Xiangxiang, as a person with high ideological awareness, you wouldn’t refuse this, would you?”

With that said, it was difficult for Zhu Xiangxiang to refuse.

Huang Liang didn’t detect the sarcasm in Tao Xingxing’s words; instead he thought Tao Xingxing was considerate and genuinely had the class’s best interest at heart. After praising her, he affirmed Zhu Xiangxiang’s position.

After class, Ma Xiaoxiao asked curiously: “Why did you nominate her? Don’t you have a beef with her? Isn’t this just boosting her morale?”

Tao Xingxing smiled and said: “We’re classmates who see each other every day, why create such a tense relationship? Besides, Zhu Xiangxiang genuinely has the ability, it’d be unjust to bury her talents.”

After saying this, she patted Ma Xiaoxiao’s shoulder, and joined the other students on the way to the bathroom.

Passing by class one, Tao Xingxing stood at the classroom door excitedly waving to Mingjing.

Everyone was used to her coming to class one at the end of each lesson.

Mingjing smiled and nodded.

After Tao Xingxing left, Mingjing’s gaze dropped and she unconsciously, wrote a couple of words on the sketch paper.

Her eyes were fixated on the words she wrote on the paper, deeply lost in thought.

After Song Yinzhang finished his problem, he raised his head to look at Mingjing. Seeing her furrowed brow, he thought she had encountered some difficult problem. His gaze inadvertently fell on the paper.

At the bottom of the sketch paper, three words were written with each stroke powerful enough to pierce the paper.

Usually Mingjing’s handwriting was fluid without a pause, to write in such a heavy-hearted way, she surely must be deeply thoughtful.
