Chapter 908

Mrs. Chu, even if a painter could draw it, if Chu Xuan struggled and shook her head, nobody could capture that perfectly. How else can this matter be investigated? Chu Xuan insisted it was Chu Xiang, but after the surveillance footage was brought out, Chu Xuan said that the person wore a mask, so she didn’t see it clearly. Why did she claim it was Chu Xiang if she didn’t see it clearly before? I’m sorry if my words are unpleasant to hear, but Chu Xiang is a good child. I hope she can have a good development. I heard that you and Mr. Chu are planning to keep her out of school. Chu Xiang is very talented. I hope you can reconsider and not impede her academics.”

When Mrs. Chu saw the toad’s photo, her expression was a bit grim, and she could not react immediately. She only had a general idea of the matter before, thinking that a mistake during a sketch was not a big deal. But now that she saw it, she also doubted Chu Xuan. This figure is not at all like a casual drawing. The drawing was too much like a living toad, especially the lumps that were threatening to burst open and leak pus.

Chu Xiang used to be an ordinary poor student, so she did not have the money or time to learn how to draw. Even if she did, she could not have possibly painted it so vividly. If she was that capable, when she lived with the Chen family, she didn’t have to do the labor of setting up the stall. She could’ve earned money with her skills. Who would believe that this was Chu Xiang’s painting?

It was too much like a sticker. There is no other possibility. Mrs. Chu turned away, feeling a little disgusted.

She frowned. “Chu Xuan would not be so stupid to not think of the impossibility of drawing such a realistic painting in a few minutes. How could this be used to frame Chu Xiang?”

The teacher looked at her. “They are teenagers. They might not necessarily have thought it through. And maybe she has succeeded more than once, so she thinks she will succeed this time as well. Mrs. Chu, you have to teach your children before it’s too late. It’s okay for them to fight when they’re young, but it’s not necessarily the case when they grow up. I’m saying too much, but I only wish well for the kids.”

These words concluded the nasty things are all done by Chu Xuan, so it could be seen how highly the teacher thought of Chu Xiang. Chu Xuan was in the teacher’s class for two and a half years, but cannot compare to Chu Xiang’s three months there. Mrs. Chu suddenly doubted her own vision.

She thought about all the things before. If Chu Xuan was not so dumb, then Chu Xiang shouldn’t be so stupid to be caught each time too. All the incidents between the two kids did not make sense after careful consideration.

Mrs. Chu did not want to talk about this matter. She remembered the teacher’s words and hurried to explain. “We did not want to let her go to school before because she wasn’t comfortable in school for three months, and she’s also at the bottom of the class during monthly exams. So, we thought it would be better to suspend her from school and hire a teacher to teach her at home. We want to wait until she has learned well in all aspects and has adapted to her current life, then we can find her another school that is similar. She is our own daughter, how could we possibly hinder her education? It’s not like we have a grudge.”

It sounded very reasonable, so the teacher nodded, “It may be a misunderstanding. You should not be too harsh to Chu Xiang. Parents and children need to communicate, especially in your case. If you can let your child understand your heart and concern, the child can also open up to you about their discomfort. Things will get better eventually.”

“You’re right. We do have poor communication, and I realize that I don’t understand a lot of things very well.” Mrs. Chu was in a very bad mood, and coincidentally, the bell rang, so she paused and said, “I’d better not take away Chu Xiang’s time in class. I’ll find her after school, so I’ll go back first. Please take care of my two children.”

“Mrs. Chu don’t worry.”

Mrs. Chu took another look at Chu Xiang and left the school with quick steps. She felt complicated as things were not as she thought. Mrs. Chu had the driver send her home quickly. Upon arriving home, she gathered all the housekeepers and interrogated them about the situation at home these days, including what they saw and heard each time Chu Xiang got into trouble, what did Chu Xiang and Chu Xuan do in private, and if the children contacted the housekeepers.

Seeing how serious Mrs. Chu was, the housekeepers dared not hold back or lie. Chu Xuan did everything personally and never instructed them to do anything, so these housekeepers knew nothing. Even so, Mrs. Chu still caught something unusual from their words.

Every time Chu Xiang supposedly bullied Chu Xuan, they were alone. If Chu Xuan did not want to be bullied, she should not interact with Chu Xiang in private. It was also the same at school. Chu Xiang would have a hard time finding private time to bully Chu Xuan with so many people around.

In the past, Mrs. Chu always thought Chu Xuan wanted to get close to Chu Xiang. However, in the sticker and most-likely-an-act toad incident, Mrs. Chu suddenly thinks Chu Xuan was not so nice toward her sister. All these previous incidents seem too suspicious now.

Besides, Chu Xuan once messaged a kitchen helper asking if Chu Xiang had arrived home.

Why? If she wanted to know, she could’ve asked Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu was home all day. Chu Xuan did not have to ask a housekeeper. That day seemed to be the day Chu Xiang drowned, and it was Wang Shasha who sent Chu Xuan home. She told Mrs. Chu how excessive Chu Xiang was by pushing Chu Xuan into the water to try to kill Chu Xuan.

Mrs. Chu was too angry at the time, but now that she thinks about it, Chu Xuan wouldn’t have brought Wang Shasha back on purpose, right?

When she thought about it, she felt badly in her heart. No one in the world was willing to suspect her own child to be so scheming and to lie to herself.

Mrs. Chu called Mr. Chu to say these things, but before she could say anything, he roared angrily, “Have you arrived at school? Bring Chu Xiang and Chu Xuan home! The two of them have done such a good job that our family is now the laughing stock of Beijing!”
