Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 893
True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (56)
The whole class instantly surrounded Chu Xiang, with no room to breathe. Shocked voices reverberated, and everyone’s eyes widened. There was no other reason than the horrifying scars on Chu Xiang’s arms, clearly indicating varying degrees of freshness, which were undoubtedly the consequences of years of continuous abuse.
Some girls with a soft heart had tears welling up in their eyes and questioned Chu Xuan, “You must know that your parents are not good people, right? Otherwise, why don’t you go back home? How can you still treat Chu Xiang this way?”
“That’s right! I thought this kind of thing could only be seen in the news, but it’s happening around us! Chu Xiang, you should sue them! You’re not even their biological child. They’ve been abusing you, and it’s not just domestic violence, it’s deliberate harm! Sue them!”
“Huh, if they end up in prison, Chu Xuan will have criminal parents, won’t she? The Chu family must be considering Chu Xuan’s reputation, that’s why they haven’t sued, right?”
“Enough already. Can’t you see how biased the Chu family is? Just imagine, if my daughter were abused to this extent, I would kill them, and going to prison would be nothing. The fact that the Chu family hasn’t taken any action is ridiculous. And Chu Xuan can still put on an innocent face every time she faces Chu Xiang. What a deceitful white lotus!”
*Note: “White lotus” is a term used to describe someone who feigns innocence or purity while hiding their true, often manipulative, nature.
The sense of justice in young people has always been easily triggered, especially when there are many people around. What was more, the contrast was stark. Chu Xiang and Chu Xuan stood face to face, and the difference between them was truly like night and day, not in terms of their talents and demeanor, but in terms of their background and experiences
The one who should have been abused grew up in luxury, while the one who should have been cherished lived in hell.
They were all children from wealthy families, and in their eyes, the Chen family was hell.
Not being able to afford food, having to set up a stall to earn money, and enduring beatings and insults—what kind of place was that? It was a place where even Chu Xuan, their own biological daughter, couldn’t last for a week, while Chu Xiang endured it for a whole seventeen years!
The sympathy of their classmates for Chu Xiang reached its peak, and their disgust towards the Chen couple made them equally repulsed by Chu Xuan. Recalling Chu Xuan’s behavior over the past three months, they increasingly saw her as a hypocritical white lotus, a green tea bitch. She didn’t even deserve to be called a saint, after all, a true saint would not escape from the Chen family and return to the Chu family. Chu Xuan made it clear that she couldn’t bear hardships and coveted the wealth and privilege of the Chu family.
Amidst the accusations, Chu Xuan’s face turned pale. This was different from being labeled as a prankster, which would at most be a temporary influence that people would soon forget. But these revelations proved that she had a very poor character.
She genuinely didn’t know about Chu Xiang’s malnutrition. Otherwise, she would never have gone so far. At the very least, she would have taken care of Chu Xiang’s health and maybe even inflicted more harm, apart from the scars.
Chu Xiang had hidden herself too well. She was certain that this chain of events, unfolding like a calculated plan, was intentionally orchestrated by her. She knew so little about Chu Xiang, and falling into her trap twice in a row had directly ruined her own reputation.
Chu Xuan’s mind was in chaos, and she instinctively looked at Shasha. However, Shasha frowned, her initial reaction being, What does Chu Xuan mean? Does she want me to step forward? She wasn’t Chu Xuan’s lackey, getting slapped in the face repeatedly for defending her. She felt uncomfortable about it.
Especially after today’s incident; when she saw the bruises covering Chu Xiang’s arms, she couldn’t utter a word. If her arms looked like that, what about the rest of her body? If it were her enduring all of this, she might have gone mad. Even if Chu Xiang had really bullied Chu Xuan, she could understand it. If she were in Chu Xiang’s shoes, she would probably hate Chu Xuan to death!
Chu Xiang pulled her sleeves down, took a deep breath, and looked at Chu Xuan coldly. “Don’t talk to me anymore, and don’t spread misunderstandings about me to others. If you insist that it was unintentional, then it only proves that you have extremely low emotional intelligence and can’t even speak like a normal person. So just shut up.
I won’t ask for a single penny from you to avoid your doting parents accusing me of taking your money. After all, I’ve been able to earn my own money for all these years, and I don’t need your sympathy. After the college entrance examination, we’ll go our separate ways. I hope that during this period before the exam, we can keep our distance and go our own paths.”
Finally, she added, “If you provoke me again, don’t blame me for not being polite!”
