Chapter 412: Chapter 371: Indifferent as a Chrysanthemum Mother? The Young Lady Casually Sabotages 11_2
In their eyes, Su Zhiruan had gone mad by now. She wasn’t afraid of these people bullying her again, so naturally, they wouldn’t demean themselves by bothering her anymore.
From a broader perspective, this round was won by Su Zhiruan.
Su Zhiruan followed the homeroom teacher to her office, which contained only two desks. At the moment, the other desk was empty, meaning it was just her and the female homeroom teacher in the room.
The original host and this female homeroom teacher didn’t really have any conflicts. The teacher didn’t particularly like her, and when the original host was bullied, she merely watched indifferently.
To say she disliked her would be inaccurate.
In short, she treated her like a stranger. But such an attitude was good. In her previous life, the original host had obtained a guaranteed university spot thanks to this female homeroom teacher. If it weren’t for Ning Fu pretending to be all righteous, saying things like “the college entrance exam should be taken with one’s own true abilities,” disparaging the underhanded means to secure a spot, the original host might have secured it much earlier.
Opportunities were rare. How often does one receive help from a Noble in their lifetime? Not often. The original host had finally encountered such an opportunity, but it was all ruined by Ning Fu, which made her very resentful inside.
“Su Zhiruan, can you explain to me what just happened in class? Why did these students suddenly become so respectful towards you?”
The homeroom teacher poured a cup of tea from the kettle beside her and handed it to Su Zhiruan. Her expression was relaxed, not serious, more like a conversation between friends.
Seeing that Su Zhiruan remained composed, she slowly added, “I want to know the truth. It’s okay if you don’t tell me; after all, it’s not a big deal. Don’t be afraid, I’m not planning to do anything to you. I just want to know why, in just a few hours, they became so compliant to you. What exactly did you do? I, as a teacher, would also like to learn.”
Su Zhiruan smiled, took a sip of the tea, and enjoyed the lingering floral aftertaste. The delicious tea burst in her mouth and flowed down her throat. “It might be the power of a slap!”
“The power of a slap? What kind of power is that?” The homeroom teacher, puzzled, looked at Su Zhiruan’s palm. Su Zhiruan also glanced at her own palm.
There was nothing for Su Zhiruan to hide regarding this matter.
After all, she had done it in front of a crowd, under the watchful eyes of many. Anyone wanting to know could simply check the surveillance and learn about her actions, but she didn’t care. Plus, since she was about to change and shed the original host’s cowardly image, she wanted others to recognize her current capabilities. So, she disclosed without hesitation, “It’s nothing much. They used to bully me all the time. Today, when I came to school, they wanted to bully me again, so since my hands were itching, I gave each of them a slap to satisfy their craving.”
“What??” At this moment, the teacher’s face showed lines of shock. Even in her dreams, she had not imagined that the ever so gentle and timid Su Zhiruan would today raise her hand and, alone, confront those influential and rich kids in the class. Usually, these rich kids, with their noses in the air, never regarded others as equals, let alone being hit by someone else. But unexpectedly, Su Zhiruan had today reached out her hand in retaliation. “They… what—what, will they retaliate against you? Do you need to notify your parents?”
The teacher’s gaze towards her now carried a respectful solemnity. Even she, a mere ordinary homeroom teacher, was usually lenient when dealing with the class’s spoiled heirs and wealthy daughters. If her approaches were too strict, those young ladies and lords would surely complain to their parents, causing her more trouble than it was worth. It would be better to turn a blind eye sometimes, which could also benefit her somewhat. However, today she had not expected that Su Zhiruan would actually slap people, giving each of them a slap.
“It’s just a warning. They’ve bullied me for so long, can’t I fight back? Even a cornered dog will leap the wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite. Teacher, don’t worry. This was all done by me alone; it has nothing to do with you!” Su Zhiruan noticed the surprise and fear were genuine on her face. Her own expression relaxed a lot, and she stood up and gently patted the teacher’s shoulder.
