Chapter 885

True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (48)

As for the homeroom teacher not informing her about Chu Xiang staying at the boarding school, she thought about it but didn’t bring it up. After all, Chu Xuan was still in the same class, and it was better to maintain a good relationship with the homeroom teacher. Initially, the homeroom teacher used to communicate with her about Chu Xiang’s adjustment issues at school, but she didn’t feel like dealing with it unless it was a major issue. She often replied to messages late, and eventually, the homeroom teacher stopped contacting her. Perhaps that’s why the homeroom teacher didn’t reach out to her this time. It wasn’t a big deal, so she let it go.

Chu Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she had been on edge since after school, afraid that her parents would insist on bringing Chu Xiang back. If her parents went to the school to investigate the situation and Chu Xiang started blurting out things, she wouldn’t be able to explain who could draw a toad in such a short amount of time.

Chu Xiang’s move was too extreme, and she really didn’t expect it. When it came to acting, she couldn’t outperform her. Her reactions in class were flawless, and she had even set the stage in art class by intentionally showing poor drawing skills. Who would believe that Chu Xiang was the one who drew the toad? She couldn’t explain it, so she decided to keep her parents in the dark about the school. In such matters, the school often communicated with the assistant, and it was normal for parents to be unaware unless someone specifically informed them.

Chu Xuan escaped a disaster and succeeded in stirring up trouble once again, making her parents dislike Chu Xiang even more. Her mood finally improved.

In a better mood, Mrs. Chu asked her, “I’ve made an appointment with a few ladies to go for a spa tomorrow. Would you like to join me and go out?”

Chu Xuan smiled and shook her head, “Mom, I won’t go to the gathering among the ladies. I’ll go when there are people my age.”

The photo of the toad had already spread within their social circle. Many people who knew Chu Xuan couldn’t believe it was actually her, and some people boldly sent her the photo, but she didn’t reply.

The “disgusting” label had been attached to her, and she couldn’t get rid of it in the short term. Going out would only make her a laughingstock. However, she didn’t feel too bothered by it. After all, her plans were long-term, and it didn’t matter if she built her network later.

As long as she could take over the Chu family, who would still care about an ugly photo from her student days? New outstanding labels would be enough to overshadow this incident. With time passing and people gradually forgetting, this kind of harmless photo wouldn’t affect her at all.

Having lived for so long, she was calm about these things. There were no traces that time couldn’t wash away, and she had a good appearance. She wasn’t worried about this temporary impact. She simply decided not to attend gatherings in their social circle for a while and keep a low profile. If she didn’t appear, the discussions about her would naturally decrease. It was a good opportunity since Chu Xiang wasn’t at home. She could take this time to strengthen her relationship with her parents.

Mrs. Chu didn’t think too much about it. After all, she had raised her daughter herself and had never worried much. She considered that Chu Xuan had her own plans.

“You should rest well over the weekend, and if you’re bored, you can go out and have fun.” She looked at the sensible and considerate daughter in front of her, feeling much more at ease. Thinking how their family would return to their previous life after Chu Xiang had moved to the dormitory, there was nothing bad about it, so there was no need to be angry.

However, Chu Xiang’s behavior could be considered as challenging their authority as parents, so she directly stopped the card she had given to Chu Xiang. Cutting off the financial lifeline was a common practice among parents, and the Chu family was no exception.

Chu Xiang could stay in the dormitory, but first, she had to come home and apologize for the incident of falling into the water, as well as for her days of running away from home. Only when she truly felt remorse and understood where she had gone wrong could she return to school.

At this time, Chu Xiang had just walked out of the campus and got into Shao Yan’s car. The driver smiled as soon as he saw her. “Miss Chu, hello.”

“Hello, Brother Zhang,” Chu Xiang greeted the driver, and then said, “Brother Zhang, please make a stop at Century Mall later. I want to buy something.”

“Sure,” Driver Zhang replied, and he skillfully drove the car out.

Chu Xiang put down her backpack and smiled at Shao Yan beside her. “Did you wait for a long time? When I went back to the dormitory to get my clothes, my roommate held me back and we chatted for a while.”

Shao Yan took out his phone and sent her a WeChat message: [It’s not necessary. I can send someone to buy it for you.]

Chu Xiang replied to him: [I want to buy gifts for Uncle and Aunt. Last time when I came to visit, it was too sudden, and I didn’t have any preparations. This time, I should bring a gift when I meet them.]

[No need.]

Shao Yan’s message was as brief as his words. Not everyone could be friends with someone as “aloof” as him, but Chu Xiang had long been accustomed to seeing people for who they truly were, so she didn’t care about these external behaviors. As long as his words made her understand, it was enough!

She smiled and directly said to him, “Everyone likes gifts, especially when they are given by someone they care about. Have you never given your parents any gifts?”

Shao Yan pursed his lips, his fingers slightly moved, and he typed two words, [No.]
