Chapter 880

True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (43)

This speculation seemed more plausible. Some classmates noticed that the people Chu Xiang had become friends with in the past two days, including Shao Yan, Yang Xueqing, Yu Nan, and Dong Fei, were the ones who had never spoken ill of her. Those classmates who had said bad things about her felt a bit uneasy in their hearts. Most of them didn’t have malicious intentions and had unintentionally isolated an innocent and pitiful classmate, leaving them with a sense of discomfort.

Based on what happened in the past two days, those things really didn’t seem like something Chu Xiang would do. It seemed like they had become spreaders of rumors. If Chu Xiang resented them, they might have developed rebellious thoughts and not felt they were in the wrong. But now that Chu Xiang didn’t blame them, they started to feel a little remorseful.

This feeling of remorse toward Chu Xiang unintentionally transformed into resentment toward Chu Xuan. If it wasn’t for Chu Xuan’s misleading attitude, how could they have wrongly accused her? Even if Chu Xuan didn’t do it intentionally, she portrayed herself as a Virgin Mary and innocent person. People like her should be kept at a distance.

The attitude of the classmates would slowly but inevitably change, it was just a matter of time. Chu Xiang didn’t put too much thought into the final outcome. She had already performed her act of being focused on studying during evening self-study. After school, she immediately packed her bag and planned to go buy daily necessities.

Yu Nan turned around and said, “Chu Xiang, are you going shopping? I’ll go with you.”

Yang Xueqing also said, “I’ll go too, I can help you carry something or whatever. Let’s buy everything in one go, it’ll be convenient.”

Chu Xiang smiled and replied, “Sure, thank you both. Let’s go quickly so that everyone can go home early, study well, and get some rest.”

Yu Nan got up first and went to the next classroom to find Dong Fei. It would be helpful to have one more assistant.

Chu Xiang waved at Shao Yan and said, “Let’s go. You should go home early too.”

Shao Yan watched Chu Xiang and Yang Xueqing’s departing figures as they chatted and laughed, clutching his backpack tightly.

They were going to buy things for girls, which meant going to the girls’ dormitory, and he couldn’t go with them.

He felt unhappy.

When the driver picked up Shao Yan, he sensed a heavy atmosphere around him. The driver looked around and didn’t see Chu Xiang, causing a slight panic in his heart. The young master’s mood was usually calm every day, but today he was clearly unhappy. Could it be that he wasn’t getting along well with his new friend? It was so hard for the young master to make friends.

Before driving, the driver quickly sent a WeChat message to the housekeeper, informing him about the young master’s unhappiness and not seeing Chu Xiang. The housekeeper treated this matter as a top priority and immediately reported it to the Shao couple.

The Shao couple were already at home, preparing to give the two children the puppies as gifts. Mr. Shao even took half a day off from work for this. Now they were a bit perplexed.

Mrs. Shao urged her husband to immediately make a call to the principal, although it might seem exaggerated to involve the principal in such a trivial matter. However, for them, their son’s reaction was of paramount importance. Their son, who rarely showed obvious emotions, was suddenly unhappy, so they needed to find out immediately what had happened between their son and Chu Xiang.

Thanks to the principal’s attention to Chu Xiang, he even made a special inquiry before leaving work. He assured Mr. Shao with a smile, “Chu Xiang is doing well. I heard she has made two good new friends who know about her application to stay in the dormitory. They went to help her buy things as soon as school ended, and they are treating her well. The homeroom teacher arranged a good dormitory for Chu Xiang, with three good classmates from the first year as roommates. They should get along well. Oh, by the way, the homeroom teacher said that Shao Yan has been eating with Chu Xiang and Chu Xiang’s new friends these past two days. Today, Shao Yan even gave her a box of milk. Both of them are doing well at school, so Mr. Shao can rest assured.”

Everything is fine? Then why was their son still unhappy?

After hanging up the phone, Mr. and Mrs. Shao speculated for a while, and finally concluded that it must be because Chu Xiang didn’t come to their house and stayed with her new friends instead, which made Shao Yan jealous.

Having a friend was hard enough, so of course, he wanted to spend more time with her.

Mrs. Shao hesitated and looked at the two small puppies in the cage on the sofa. She asked, “So, should we still give them the puppies?”

Mr. Shao frowned. He was just about to respond when Shao Yan walked in from outside. Both parents stood up and carefully observed their son. Mrs. Shao smiled and said, “Xiao Yan, you’re back. Are you hungry? Would you like to have something to eat before doing your homework?”

Shao Yan didn’t feel like eating. He took a few steps but noticed the puppies on the sofa. He changed his direction and walked straight to the puppies, lowering his head to stare at them.

Mrs. Shao hurriedly said, “These were requested by your father from his good friend. They are of good breed…”

She glanced at her husband and tentatively asked, “Xiangxiang didn’t come today, huh? Will she come in the future? Do you still want these two puppies? Should we keep her room for her or…?”

Shao Yan lifted the puppy cage and said in a low voice, “Weekend.”

Mr. and Mrs. Shao were instantly petrified. They stared at Shao Yan as he carried the puppy cage upstairs before snapping out of their daze. Mrs. Shao pinched her husband hard, causing him to cry out in pain, his expression changing. She exclaimed excitedly, “Our son spoke! It’s real, not a dream! Did you hear that? Our son spoke to me! I finally heard our son speak again!”

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Mr. Shao gently embraced her and comforted her in a soft voice, “Our son is getting better. He will speak more to you in the future, and he will smile at you. He will be fine.”

For parents, the most agonizing part of having an autistic child is the lack of communication. Any response or reaction from Shao Yan would make them excited and thrilled for a long time, even the entire Shao household staff joined in the excitement.
