Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 922

How could a family like the Chus not do a paternity test? Some classmates, hearing what Chu Xiang said, asked in confusion, “You haven’t done a test before? They can’t be that hasty, right?”

Chu Xiang sighed. “We did. I just can’t understand…”

She didn’t say what she couldn’t understand, but everyone understood.

She fell silent for a moment and then said, “Don’t make fun of me, but I’ve always envied others for having parents who love them. Later, I found out that I was adopted, and I had high hopes for my biological parents to love me. But now… I often dream that I have incredibly loving parents who treat me like a precious treasure…”

Chu Xiang was sitting by the window in the classroom, gazing out at the playground with an absent look, as if she was about to dissipate like a cloud. Yu Nan instinctively grabbed her arm, and Yang Xueqing even got up to close the window. Then the two exchanged a glance, feeling a bit stunned by their own actions.

Chu Xiang also snapped back to reality and smiled. “What are you guys doing? Don’t tell me you thought I was going to jump out the window? We’re on the second floor, I won’t die if I jump. Besides, I’m doing well. I haven’t seen the results of my investments yet, and there are still many delicious foods and fun things I haven’t experienced. How could I bear to die? I cherish my life now.”

Several nearby classmates breathed a sigh of relief, with some saying, “You have no idea how you looked just now. It made my heart ache, I felt so uneasy.”

Some of them said, “Chu Xiang, our classmates in this class are like your brothers and sisters. No matter whether others care about you or not, we care about you! Everyone, right?”

“Right!” The classmates all shouted in agreement, except for Wang Shasha.

Wang Shasha’s desk mate nudged her and asked, “Are you still siding with Chu Xuan? We all know that you made the mistake before, you helped the wrong person, and it’s Chu Xiang who’s been wronged.”

Even if Wang Shasha had a falling out with Chu Xuan, she couldn’t be on good terms with Chu Xiang. She retorted stubbornly, “Chu Xiang is not an orphan. Is it necessary to go to such lengths? The paternity test has already been done; otherwise, how could they have taken her back? Her request for another test is just to make her parents remember who their real daughter is, right? I don’t believe she doesn’t have any ulterior motives.”

Chu Xiang remained silent, and some classmates became unhappy. “What do you mean? Are you saying we’re meddling?”

Wang Shasha sneered, “Isn’t it? Today, we all know how Chu Xiang’s dad treated her, don’t we? And now Chu Xuan has been kicked out of the house. According to you guys, it’s a revelation, a cause for celebration. Well, Chu Xuan deserves it, and Chu Xiang will soon have a caring dad. Didn’t her dad say he would compensate her tenfold or a hundredfold?”

These sarcastic remarks were grating to anyone’s ears. Yu Nan snorted coldly, “According to your logic, if I beat you up and buy you lots of nice things afterward, would you forgive me? Do you want to try it?”

Wang Shasha gave her a disdainful look and didn’t say anything more. The classmates’ gazes toward her were not favorable. She had always been close to Chu Xuan, but no one knew what kind of person she really was.

The previous post on the campus forum was deleted, but soon there was a new post. However, it wasn’t as blatant in exposing the Chu family’s affairs. Anyway, those who needed to know already knew what was going on. At present, everyone’s comments were filled with emoticons and abbreviations and the like, as long as young people could understand them. The most discussed topic was today’s incident.

Everyone felt that this episode in the Chu family should be coming to an end. Judging from the situation, Mr. Chu didn’t want Chu Xuan anymore and intended to spoil Chu Xiang and compensate her as a little princess. But Mrs. Chu definitely didn’t like Chu Xiang. The incident when Chu Xiang went home and got beaten up the day before might be because she learned about Mr. Chu’s decision. Mrs. Chu was unhappy, so she hit Chu Xiang. She was really in a miserable state.

Some people didn’t understand Mrs. Chu’s way of thinking, but there was a popular Korean drama years ago where the mother was especially doting on the daughter she raised and was very cold to her biological daughter who returned later. Perhaps Mrs. Chu was just like that character from the drama.

Some people said Chu Xuan was unlucky because no one would take care of her after turning eighteen. However, they were quickly refuted, saying that Chu Xuan was originally a poor girl who should have been abused and now she has her own property, years of savings, expensive jewelry, and grew up in luxury. Wasn’t she taking a huge advantage? They were in Beijing; countless people couldn’t afford a small two-bedroom apartment like hers even after a lifetime of hard work.

There were also people who said that Chu Xiang was going to live a good life, but they were also refuted. Hurt was hurt; could it be easily whitewashed? Haven’t they seen how disappointed Chu Xiang has been time and time again, to the point where she didn’t want family affection anymore? Treat her like a disposable object, was that what she was to them? If it weren’t for the Chu family’s reputation being affected, would Mr. Chu make such a statement? Where was his concern for his daughter all this time?

Moreover, who knew if Mr. and Mrs. Chu, who used to dote on Chu Xuan, would truly sever ties in the future. Mr. Chu was busy while his wife mainly managed the household, but Chu Xiang still experienced grievances when she returned home. Therefore, the best outcome now would be for Chu Xiang to live at school and occasionally meet with her father to cultivate their father-daughter relationship.

That was what everyone thought and claimed, but it seemed that Chu Xiang didn’t have much expectation. Everyone understood that wounds in the heart were not easily healed, especially when they came from a sudden betrayal.
