Forced to Become the Female Villain's Doting Wife (GL) - Chapter 8

“You’re asking if the matter was done by you? If you’re this scared, then why didn’t you use your brain when you did it!

Think about your elderly grandmother, your poor mother, your innocent young brothers, and your father who is struggling desperately outside to earn money to support your education!

Is their expectation for you to cause trouble like this in school and then use them as a shield? What if you had framed another classmate instead of me today?

In this school, in this class, apart from me being conspicuous, who isn’t an ordinary person?

Are you saying that just because you focused your attention on me today, you can cry poverty and play pitiful?

If I don’t teach you a lesson, tomorrow you’ll be bolder, and you’ll harm whoever you want?

What excuse will you use then?”

Su Xianxian desperately tried to suppress the hatred emanating from the original host.

When Su Xianxian brought this up, the classmates in the room seemed to wake up, their minds suddenly clearing. This girl dared to provoke even Su Xianxian, let alone them.

At this, the students’ sympathy for the girl began to decrease significantly.

[Trash System: Congratulations, Host, on completing the critical plot point mission. The Host’s fusion degree with this world has increased by 6%. The Host’s current fusion degree with this world is 15%.]

Upon hearing that the critical plot point was over, Su Xianxian immediately let out a long breath. Her tense shoulders relaxed, and her tightly clenched fists loosened.

“Teachers, this is just a small matter, and I don’t really care about it. I just wanted to clear my name. The principal and teachers have been working in education for so many years; they should know how to handle this kind of situation…”

Su Xianxian didn’t want to blow the matter up. She was simply following the system’s request and hoped that her handling of the situation would change Jiang Cuo’s opinion of her somewhat, helping to lower Jiang Cuo’s Disgust Value.

Before Su Xianxian could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a rapid knocking on the door.

In Su Xianxian’s eyes, Su Lian at the door seemed afraid the matter would simply pass, so she immediately interrupted her speech.

Su Lian’s expression looked full of apology, but the movement of her hands was ceaseless and grating to the ear.

The teacher, who had thought Su Xianxian was about to suggest some aggressive, unforgiving move, quickly cut off Su Xianxian’s speech and began introducing Su Lian at the door.

“Classmates, this is our new student, Su Lian. Classmate Su Lian just transferred to our school from a private school today. Please introduce yourself to everyone.”

Su Lian looked timidly around. She slowly walked toward the podium, looking at Su Xianxian across from her.

“Hello everyone, I’m Su Lian, and I am Su Xianxian’s younger sister…”

Su Lian saw the uncontainable astonishment in the eyes of the students below when they saw her, and she secretly swelled with pride. She knew they must be comparing her to Su Xianxian, and that Su Xianxian couldn’t even compare to her little finger.

Although Su Lian wore a delicate, weak smile, her eyes were devoid of warmth. She glanced at the girl kneeling not far away and sneered inwardly. Useless. She still needed me to step in.

The moment Su Lian appeared, Su Xianxian understood. The person behind the scenes could no longer restrain herself and had shown up.

Su Lian was clever. She interrupted Su Xianxian’s speech by knocking because she heard that Su Xianxian was not planning to press charges. But how could that be? That wouldn’t fulfill her wish.

After saying she was Su Xianxian’s sister, Su Lian immediately covered her mouth, a look of horror in her eyes.

“I’m sorry, Sister. I know you don’t want others to know our relationship, and I know Sister doesn’t like me… But Dad was just too worried about Sister. Dad knows Sister is not sociable, which is why he asked me to come here to keep her company. But how could Sister bully a classmate?”

As Su Lian spoke, she walked with tiny steps, carrying her cute little backpack, to the girl kneeling on the floor. She helped the girl up by holding her arm.

“Everyone in this school is ordinary. How can they compare to someone as noble as Sister? No matter what happened today, please don’t be angry with her, okay, Sister? You can take out all your frustrations on me, but please don’t bully anyone else.”

Everyone around held their breath upon hearing Su Lian’s words, their eyes blazing with intense gossip as if they had heard some explosive news.

Originally, Su Xianxian was the victim of a frame-up, but Su Lian’s few light words twisted the narrative into Su Xianxian using her power to bully others and being completely unreasonable. Not only did she bully her sister at home, but she also targeted anyone she disliked outside.

Seeing Su Lian arrive and hearing her words, Jiang Cuo, one of the only two rational people in the classroom, couldn’t help but glance at Su Xianxian.

She saw Su Xianxian’s shoulders trembling slightly. Jiang Cuo pursed her lips. It was strange; for a moment, she even wanted to speak up and defend Su Xianxian. But she clearly wanted nothing to do with Su Xianxian.

Jiang Cuo ultimately chose to remain silent, waiting to see how Su Xianxian would respond.

But what Su Lian never expected was that Su Xianxian didn’t explode in anger. Instead, she had an unusually calm smile on her face.

Su Xianxian yawned as if she were tired, rubbing her oval face. “I said so much just now that I’m exhausted. I really didn’t expect that today would be the first day my little shadow, my good sister, transferred into the same class as me. Well then, I’ll give her face today and won’t pursue this matter.”

As Su Xianxian spoke, she pointed to the camera above the podium. “In the past, there was no high-tech, so people said, ‘Man proposes, God disposes.’ Now that we have this, ‘Man proposes, the camera disposes.’ I already said that justice resides in the heart of the people. The teacher and principal will definitely handle it, so I won’t say any more. I truly apologize for wasting the teacher’s class time.

Furthermore, I want to apologize to Classmate Jiang Cuo. After all, this classmate targeted me, but tore up Classmate Jiang’s homework instead, implicating Classmate Jiang. I feel very sorry.

However… even though I won’t pursue this matter, I hope this classmate remembers: if a similar incident happens to me again, then you will be the first person I suspect. My good sister only has one reputation; once it’s used up, there’s no going back. I hope you conduct yourself accordingly.”

Su Lian wasn’t sure if Su Xianxian’s final, forceful admonition to “conduct herself accordingly” was directed at the girl or at her.

But Su Xianxian’s reaction was completely unexpected. She thought Su Xianxian would erupt in fury. That’s how it always was before; if she spoke like that, Su Xianxian would go wild, hit her, and curse her, which would make everyone sympathize with her and pity her, and in the end, Su Xianxian would be the one in the wrong.

But what was wrong with her today?

Su Xianxian very naturally walked around the girl Su Lian was helping up. She collected the paper scraps scattered near the trash can, put them in her pocket, returned to her seat, turned off her phone recording, and uploaded the footage to a cloud drive for backup.

[Trash System: Wow, Host, your emotional control is impressive! But why did the Host pick up those paper scraps? What good are they?]

Su Xianxian raised an eyebrow.

‘You’re just a trash system, so of course you wouldn’t know. They’re going to be of great use.’

Su Xianxian’s strange action of picking up the scraps also caught the attention of the other classmates.

Some began to whisper, “Why is Su Xianxian so weird today? Logically, with Su Xianxian’s spoiled temperament, she shouldn’t let that classmate off.”

“Yeah, why is Su Xianxian even picking up Jiang Cuo’s homework scraps? Could it be… is it really like the forum says?”

“What did the forum say? Quick, tell me, tell me!”

“The forum says Su Xianxian transferred to our class to pursue Jiang Cuo! The reason she didn’t lose her temper today was because Jiang Cuo was present. And Su Xianxian picking up those scraps—isn’t that proof that they belong to Jiang Cuo! I never thought a young lady like Su Xianxian could be so humble for love. And did you hear? Su Xianxian even apologized to Jiang Cuo. The arrogant young lady paired with the aloof, top-tier study genius—it’s quite exciting!!”

All this gossip entered Su Xianxian’s ears, word for word.

Su Xianxian: “…”

She now firmly believed that the “romance-brained” mentality was an illness that needed curing.
