Chapter 883

True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (46)

Chu Xiang finished washing up and got into bed. She said smilingly, “Good night, everyone. Sleep early and wake up refreshed for a productive day of studying!”

What an ancient motivational declaration!

The three roommates were momentarily stunned but politely said “Good night” and then turned over to their phones to vent to their friends. However, their venting wasn’t malicious. Their friends were curious about Chu Xiang’s entrance to their dormitory and wanted to know if she was really as malicious as rumored, or if they were being bullied by her. In any case, their WeChat conversations were lively. Only Chu Xiang who said she was going to sleep actually went to sleep. She took her health very seriously.

The next morning, Shao Yan went downstairs and headed straight to the kitchen. Mrs. Shao was preparing breakfast there. After so many years, she had gotten used to cooking for her son every day. She was surprised to see him and asked, “Xiao Yan? What’s wrong? Is something the matter?”

Shao Yan silently handed a piece of paper to his mother. When she looked at it, she realized it was his handwriting!

The paper listed several dish names and even mentioned preparing medicinal soup specifically for Chu Xiang.

Mrs. Shao thought back to her advice from the previous night and took a deep breath to calm her excited heart. She had only mentioned it to see how much her son cared about Chu Xiang, never expecting him to take it to heart and make such a breakthrough. He even willingly used written communication!

Without hesitation, Mrs. Shao agreed, “I’ll have someone prepare it right away. Xiangxiang loves the sweet and sour spare ribs I make, so I’ll personally make it later. Son, don’t worry. After you eat and go to school, I’ll have the food delivered around noon. It will still be steaming hot.”

Upon hearing this, Shao Yan went out and sat at the dining table, waiting for the meal.

Mrs. Shao was overjoyed and immediately took a photo of the menu her son had written and sent it to her husband to show off. While looking at his phone in the office, Mr. Shao burst into laughter. His son was willing to communicate with others, which made his wife happy. Chu Xiang truly was a benefactor to their family.

The executive assistant, who had been notified by the boss to work overtime and was holding documents, entered the room. Seeing the smile on Mr. Shao’s face, he was startled and froze in place, as if he had seen a ghost.

Mr. Shao looked up and composed himself. “What’s the matter?”

“Chairman, here are the latest project documents for your review,” the assistant said, relieved to see him returning to normal. However, he was extremely curious about what Mr. Shao had been looking at on his phone. Was it related to his early departures in the past few days? As the chairman’s top assistant, should he find out?

The campus was as lively as ever. After the classmates stopped isolating Chu Xiang, the classroom atmosphere improved significantly, although they still hadn’t spoken much to her. In the past, they thought she was maliciously doing those bad things behind their backs, so they felt a bit scared and disgusted. Whenever they saw her, they would feel annoyed, and naturally, it affected the overall mood.

Now everyone felt more at ease, and the students actually breathed a sigh of relief. However, they still felt uncomfortable when they saw Chu Xuan. After all, seeing her reminded them of that disgusting toad. Even the teachers stopped looking at her or asking her questions during class.

With the conflict between Chu Xiang and Chu Xuan resolved and no fallout between Chu Xuan and Wang Shasha, the class became peaceful. It was as if all the unpleasant things had been put behind them. However, the disciplinary office started investigating the students who had been near the changing room on that day. There was a surveillance camera not far from the front of the changing room, but there was none near the windows.

Wang Shasha strongly demanded that the head of the disciplinary office find out who had infiltrated the locker room. As a result, the head of the disciplinary office began to take this matter seriously. It wasn’t just because of the students’ request, but also because the locker room was a highly private area. If someone had really infiltrated it, it posed a great danger to the students. The students’ safety would be compromised, and the school would be unable to justify it to the parents.

The process of this thorough investigation involved each class teacher tallying where each student was at that specific time. Some students remembered and could provide witnesses, which immediately ruled them out as suspects. However, for those who had no witnesses or couldn’t recall what they were doing at that time, the suspicion couldn’t be cleared. They became individuals to be investigated.

This made the students feel anxious and frustrated. They hadn’t done anything wrong, so why were they being treated like criminals? Several students who were considered key suspects were particularly angry. What did Chu Xuan’s situation have to do with them? Why were they being suspected?

The students didn’t know that it was Wang Shasha who had initiated the school’s investigation. All they knew was that it was related to Chu Xuan being bullied, and they started to dislike Chu Xuan for causing trouble for them.

The previously deleted post was brought up again, and all the suspected individuals told the teachers and the principal that it must have been Chu Xuan herself who did it. Who would hold such a grudge against her and bully her so easily? If there really was such a person, how could she go to school happily as if nothing had happened? How could someone be so heartless?

Moreover, many students had saved that photo. According to Chu Xuan, the “culprit” did those things during the break. But the painting on Chu Xuan’s face was so lifelike that even a professional artist might not be able to paint it that perfectly, right? Did their school have such skilled artists? Besides, didn’t Chu Xuan say she struggled desperately? If she was struggling and moving around, how could the other person paint so perfectly?

It wasn’t painted by someone else at all; she must have prepared the painting in advance and stamped it on her own face! Otherwise, how could it be impossible to wash off? She rubbed her face until it turned red, but the painting didn’t smudge at all. It was just too unbelievable!

As the saying goes, “The voice of the people is as powerful as melting gold.” The suspected students were not convinced, and their friends were indignant on their behalf. Even their classmates joined in the analysis and speculation. In just two days, almost the entire school was talking about how Chu Xuan had orchestrated the whole incident to prevent Chu Xiang from pursuing her studies. Didn’t Chu Xiang mention before that her parents warned her, saying they would have her expelled if she caused trouble again?

If it weren’t for Chu Xiang’s stroke of luck with classmates providing alibis, she would probably have been sent home by now, right? No wonder Chu Xiang didn’t dare to confront Chu Xuan when she applied to live on campus. Chu Xuan was truly cunning, and the Chu family was truly outrageous.

Coincidentally, it was the weekend, and this incident became the focus of conversations among students, their families, and friends. Just as Chu Xiang had anticipated, the news quickly spread.
