In the classroom, Qu Xiao stood calmly on the podium. Under the scrutinizing gazes of her classmates, she was filled with confidence.

“Hello, everyone. I hope we can all become good friends.”

Qu Qi, who was sitting in the front row, stared at her with jealousy and hatred as she forcefully broke the pencil in her hands.

Qu Qi suddenly said sarcastically, “The student quota at our school is extremely limited. Students have gone through continuous screening tests and selections to enter. The only reason you were able to transfer to our school is because of your connections, right?”

When the students heard Qu Qi’s words, they all looked at Qu Xiao.

Qu Qi smirked as she stood up with her hands on the desk. She was particularly aggressive toward Qu Xiao, “You’re so old. You can just go to university. Why are you so stubborn that you have to return to high school?”

“Aren’t you already married? Didn’t you sell yourself to your husband’s family?”

As soon as Qu Qi finished speaking, the male students in the classroom who were interested in Qu Xiao turned gloomy and disdainful.

The female students lowered their voices and started gossiping about Qu Xiao. They even began to slander her as a street girl.

All kinds of unpleasant words were thrown around. Qu Xiao still stood quietly in front and looked at Qu Qi with contempt, as if she was mocking her childishness.

Qu Qi continued to say angrily, “I heard that your husband is disabled? He can’t even stand

up!”

“You’re so young, but you’re already willing to sell yourself for money. It’s embarrassing to be classmates with you.”

Qu Qi wanted to rally her fellow classmates who soon started laughing at Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao lowered her eyes for a long while before a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

The Sun happened to shine through the window and landed on the side of her face.

The noisy classroom instantly quieted down as everyone admired Qu Xiao’s beauty.

Qu Xiao looked at Qu Qi. Since Qu Qi openly mocked her, why shouldn’t she do the same?

“Qu Qi, I know you hate me, but you don’t have to slander me like this. No matter what, I’m still your sister.”

After Qu Xiao said that, all eyes fell on Qu Qi. Qu Qi’s face turned pale instantly. She clenched her fists, stood up abruptly, kicked the chair away, and shouted, “Shut up!”

“Back then, our family wanted you or Qu Zhen to marry him. It was your mother who forced me to marry the one whom you call a cripple on behalf of you.”

“He treats me very well, and I’ve never brought up all the bad things you’ve done to me. I just wanted to be able to continue my studies. You can’t even support me? Qu Qi, I’ve never thought of fighting with you for anything!”

Qu Xiao deliberately put on an aggrieved look as she spoke with a sobbing tone.

Her reddened eyes instantly aroused the desire of the male students to protect her.

Qu Qi was usually arrogant and domineering in school because of her family background. Naturally, there were many girls who hated her.

At this moment, a group of girls stood by Qu Xiao’s side and supported her. “Qu Qi! I didn’t expect you to be such a heartless person! You even slandered your own sister?”

“You seriously tried to manipulate us into isolating Qu Xiao?”

“We won’t listen to your instigation, Qu Xiao! We welcome you…”

With just a few words, Qu Xiao instantly won the battle. She fiddled with the strands of hair on her forehead and threw a provocative look at Qu Qi.

During self-study time, Qu Xiao looked around the classroom and saw an empty seat in the corner of the last row. She carried her bag and walked over.

Seeing her actions, the students held their breaths and did not dare to speak.

Qu Qi, on the other hand, chuckled. She crossed her arms and waited to see what was going to happen. In the corner of the last row, a boy wearing a white shirt was sleeping on his desk. His facial features were beautiful and he was very handsome.

The name “Zhou Ce” was written on his book. Qu Xiao suddenly recalled the school bully whom Miss Zhang had mentioned to her. She said not to provoke him.

Qu Xiao naturally pulled out a chair.

When she wanted to sit down, she saw a few students who looked like thugs walking over and surrounding her.

“Newcomer, you can’t sit here!”

“You should sit somewhere else. Our boss doesn’t like to sit with others!”

The boy raised his chin, his entire body exuding a ruffian aura.

Qu Xiao raised her eyes and glanced at the nameplate on his chest. Her voice was extremely light as she said, “Yao En? Excuse me, please make way.”

“You’re blocking me.”

After Qu Xiao said that, she directly sat down. She had no intention of sitting somewhere else.
