My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 242: Have you heard about this thing before?
Chapter 242: Have you heard about this thing before?
"Xia Ru!"
Because her heart was boiling with rage, her tone was somewhat harsh.
The group opposite even felt a burst of cold air coming at them.
Xia Ru was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and looked over with confusion, "Hmm?"
"What does Fangfang want with me?"
Fangfang looked into her eyes and asked, "I remember you’re from the Red Star Commune. I want to ask you, do you know Lin Tang?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Ru’s heart skipped a beat.
Lin Tang?
How does this person know Lin Tang?
Fangfang didn’t know what Xia Ru was thinking and took the opportunity to press on:
"The Lin Tang from your commune who has been keeping the first place in her grade since school started and considers second place a step back, do you know her?"
Xia Ru’s pupils trembled, and the corners of her lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
"...Yes, I know her."
Her eyes slightly concealed, her expression calm, only the trembling of her lashes betrayed her inner unease.
"Where did you hear about her?" Xia Ru tried to ask without betraying her composure.
Fangfang shook the newspaper in her hand.
"In the newspaper."
Her gaze at Xia Ru took on an investigative quality, as she continued to question:
"Lin Tang’s grades and admission notice were stolen. You’re from her hometown, aren’t you? She got first place and didn’t go to college, even suffered persecution, don’t you find that odd?"
Fangfang had long felt that there was something off about Xia Ru.
Her grades...
Her behavior in school...
Everything seemed peculiar.
Xia Ru did not answer immediately.
Her sharp nails were digging into the palm of her hand.
Her slightly hooded eyes suddenly darkened.
Especially since the expressions of the people around her had changed, which made her feel extremely annoyed.
Barely calming down.
Xia Ru’s face showed a look of difficulty.
"Well... I’m not in the same class as Lin Tang, and I don’t know her very well.
Moreover, Lin Tang has always been proud and aloof. I’m not clear about her matters and can’t answer Fangfang’s questions, I’m really sorry!"
A frown formed between her beautiful brows, making it almost irresistible to want to smooth it away.
The balance in the onlookers’ minds instantly tipped toward Xia Ru.
Their glances at Fangfang and the others became somewhat hostile.
Moving forward to stand in front of Xia Ru, they indeed protected her as if she were a princess.
"Fangfang, please stop troubling Xia Ru."
"With so many students at the university, how could Xia Ru know what you are talking about regarding Lin Tang?"
"Yeah! Do you still remember all your middle school classmates now? Do you know their current situation?"
"Xia Ru is so hardworking, all her time is spent studying, how would she know about such messy matters..."
Fangfang and her two friends were attacked by the group, but the righteous and kind young girl was not afraid.
Yuanyuan stepped forward, intending to shield her roommate, and said calmly, "Fangfang hasn’t said much, why are you panicking?"
"If Xia Ru is innocent, why would she fear others asking her questions!"
With that, her clear eyes looked towards Fangfang.
"Let’s go! Aren’t we going to see the school leaders? Let’s do it sooner rather than later."
Fangfang was getting frustrated, rustling the newspaper in her hand.
"Hmph, it’s clearly written in the newspaper, Lin Tang’s grades and admission notice were taken by someone.
The one who took her admission notice is from our school. We’re going to ask the school leaders what exactly is going on!"
She was very dissatisfied with Xia Ru only caring about wearing new clothes and primping herself, wasting her youth without valuing the opportunity to study.
Corrupting the school’s atmosphere!
If Xia Ru hadn’t taken Lin Tang’s place, that would be one thing.
But if it were her, then the person before them was someone wearing human skin but not doing human things.
Xia Ru snapped out of it, her muddled head suddenly cleared.
Seeing that Fangfang and the other two were going to look for the Principal, she exclaimed in alarm, "Newspaper? What newspaper?"
The voice lost its gentleness, turning somewhat chilly.
Fangfang watched Xia Ru’s crumbling expression, further convincing her of the suspicions in her heart.
And the look in her eyes toward Xia Ru grew increasingly unfriendly.
"H Province newspaper, just go and have a look and you’ll know," she said.
They dropped a bomb in Xia Ru’s heart and turned to walk toward the leadership office.
Some gossip-hungry students around heard Fangfang’s words, their eyes lit up, and they headed to the newspaper stand at the school gate.
The students who were close to Xia Ru fell silent.
After exchanging a few glances, they stepped forward to comfort her.
"Xia Xia, don’t worry. If you haven’t done it, then you haven’t done it. We have nothing to fear!"
"Fangfang is right! But, do you really not know about the girl Fangfang mentioned?" A boy spoke, his mind buzzing with doubts.
Xia Ru’s face flushed with annoyance and she said with indignation, "What do you mean by that?"
"Fangfang and the others might guess blindly, but don’t you know me?
After knowing me for so long, have I ever stolen someone else’s stuff?"
Her face showed both dissatisfaction and grievance.
She ground her teeth in anger internally.
After receiving so many benefits from her, these words now were utterly inhuman.
However, what exactly was that newspaper about?
Xia Ru felt panic rising within her.
She had a foreboding that something terrible was about to happen.
The boy who had spoken was looking sheepish, "Sorry!"
Xia Ru felt like her head was on fire, with no spare energy to deal with these irrelevant people.
She was desperate to know what was up with that newspaper.
"It’s nothing. I have an upset stomach; I’m leaving first," Xia Ru said with a forced smile, walking toward the school exit.
The group was stunned.
"Didn’t Xia Xia say her stomach was hurting? Shouldn’t she go back to the Dormitory to rest or to the school infirmary? Why is she leaving the school?" a girl asked with confusion.
The apologetic boy said, "...She’s not going to buy the newspaper, is she?"
A few students froze.
Could it be?
Was what Fangfang said actually true?
Inside, they were torn between two voices.
The image of Xia Ru as a dedicated, kind, and gentle student began to crumble in their hearts.
As the new issue of H Province’s Xiangyang Newspaper continued to ferment, all the teachers and students turned their attention to the affair of the university placement being taken over by someone else.
The school leadership took this very seriously, set up an investigation team, and began an internal inquiry.
In such circumstances, those with a clear conscience remained calm.
Those with guilt were anxious in body and mind, eating poorly and sleeping worse, their faces pale as ghosts.
Xia Ru was one of the most outstanding.
Her classmates could tell at a glance that something was off with her.
After holding out for two days, Xia Ru approached the homeroom teacher, took leave, and went home. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Her departure struck others as a confirmation of a guilty conscience.
Adding to this, Xia Ru and Lin Tang came from the same place, and her classroom performance and exam results did not match what her high school grades should have been.
Before she knew it, she was nailed to the pillar of shame.
Xia Ru booked a train ticket, packed her things haphazardly, and could hardly wait to return to the Red Star commune.
Every time she thought of Lin Tang, Xia Ru wished she could tear her apart.
Bitch!
Trash!
She believed that anyone who ruined her bright future was a bitch!
As Xia Ru fled back in disgrace, Lin Tang was thriving in the county.
When the Lin Family’s house was being constructed, the news reached Shuangshan Brigade that the commune was sending someone to connect electricity.
The village was astir with the news!
The brigade was setting up a factory, and those members who were remodeling the old mansion had been reminded by the Captain to keep it under wraps, so only a few were in the know.
Once the news of the electrification was confirmed,
the word spread throughout the entire brigade about the Sauce Factory and electrification of the village.
It was like a bomb dropped on the quiet land, leaving everyone in shock for a long time.
