Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 927

Several classmates saw her calculating the money. She hadn’t even gone home these past few days, and she hadn’t seen the new clothes that Mr. Chu had prepared for her. Yet, she was still calculating and preparing to return the money to the Chu family. She was truly loyal and righteous.

On top of that, she had only been back at the Chu family for three months, yet she had already calculated the interest on that money and rounded it up to a whole number. It was obvious that she was very grateful to the Chu family for exposing her to the world, and she hadn’t done anything to betray them in the slightest.

If you talk about her enjoying the privileges of being the Chu family’s Young Miss, that simply doesn’t exist. Everyone knows that she was wrongly accused of being a thief as soon as she returned to the Chu family. Who doesn’t know that she suffered from malnutrition for three months at the Chu family? Who doesn’t know that Mr. Chu refused to give her food and Mrs. Chu slapped her? Chu Xuan continued to scheme against her both at home and outside, causing her to be isolated at school for so long.

They all witnessed the suffering that Chu Xiang endured. If she were a child of the Chu family, one could reluctantly say that the Chu couple were trying to discipline their child, albeit in the wrong way. But now that she was not a descendant of the Chu family, well, what was the difference between the behavior of the Chu couple and the Chen family?

When Chu Xiang eagerly anticipated the love of her parents, thinking she had escaped from hell, their emotional and psychological abuse had an even greater impact on her. Didn’t everyone see that she constantly lowered her head and seemed depressed not long ago? Just the other day, she mentioned her parents while looking out the window and was misunderstood by her friend to be contemplating suicide.

Originally, some people suspected that the Chu couple knew from the beginning that Chu Xiang was not their biological child, which was why they treated her poorly. However, after analyzing the revelations made by the dismissed housekeeper from the Chu family, everyone felt that all the incidents indicated that the Chu couple had always believed Chu Xiang to be their biological child. They were not unkind to her with any ulterior motive. One reason was because they were misled by Chu Xuan’s schemes, and another reason was that they felt they could discipline the child as they pleased, without really caring about this child who suddenly reappeared in their lives.

Therefore, the only thing the Chu family brought to Chu Xiang was despair. Compared to the exposure to the world that the Chu family provided for her, the harm inflicted by them was much greater. The meager favors they bestowed upon her were hardly worth mentioning.

Furthermore, it was Yu Nan and the others who introduced Chu Xiang to the world. The Chu family at most provided her with an opportunity to enter school and meet classmates. But initially, Yu Nan and the others also did not associate with Chu Xiang. It was her initiative in making friends after falling into the water that broke the ice.

So, Chu Xiang’s current circle of friends mainly depended on herself. She truly hasn’t relied on the power of the Chu family. Besides giving her an opportunity to enter school, everything else the Chu family has done was to harm her.

Even so, Chu Xiang didn’t harbor any resentment. After learning that she was not their biological child, she was still grateful to them for giving her such an opportunity. She even wanted to repay them more than what she owed and never mentioned the harm they had caused her.

Who wouldn’t like a smart, sensible girl like Chu Xiang, who was full of sunshine in her heart?

Some people say that if the Chu family had treated her well after recognizing her, she wouldn’t have become desperate and clung to a glimmer of hope to request another paternity test. Then she would have always been the Chu family’s daughter. Having such a talented young girl as their daughter is something others can only envy. She is truly “the child of another family”!

Unfortunately, the Chu couple treated her poorly, but luckily she fulfilled her dream. She was indeed not the Chu family’s daughter. Now she was free, and once she repaid the money, she would have completely cut ties with the Chu family. As for the Chu family, they were presently without descendants, left only with a malicious foster daughter. Who knew if the Chu couple would regret their actions?

Ever since Mrs. Chu found out that the campus forum was discussing the Chu family, she couldn’t help but open it and take a glance. This time, she saw that the students were actually congratulating Chu Xiang for breaking free from the Chu family, which made her furious. And when she saw that Chu Xiang was going to repay them 1 million after making money, she became even angrier. She said to Mr. Chu, “She was definitely sent to the Chu family to ruin our reputation. Making money like this, who can earn 1 million in such a short time? Even if I go out and work now, I won’t be able to earn it. She’s a fraud!”

Mr. Chu took her phone and carefully browsed through it, understanding the cause and effect from various fragmented pieces of information. It turned out that Chu Xiang gained insights even when she went out to play with friends. She even obtained information from their casual conversations. Investing in stocks could sometimes be difficult, but sometimes it was not that hard either. For example, if someone knew about the recent developments of a certain company, they might be able to predict whether the stock of that company would rise or fall.

Of course, this required precise insight and sufficient analytical ability. He has felt Chu Xiang’s quick thinking and sensitivity to business during their conversations. If it were in the past, he wouldn’t have believed that she was capable of it, but now, he was starting to believe it a little.

Mrs. Chu was still grumbling in anger. She was really furious. Her daughter’s lack of respect towards her, she could tolerate that and thought her daughter needed to be taught a lesson. But now, Chu Xiang was just an outsider, a wild child from who knew where, yet she dared to accuse her and call her unjust. She now wished she could throw Chu Xiang into the slums!

However, Mrs. Chu couldn’t comprehend her anger at all. If it were their own child, he would be proud. However, since she wasn’t their child, she was not their concern. What was her wife doing?

She was giving him a headache with all her yelling, and he couldn’t help but say, “Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t. Chu Xiang might be a business prodigy. She even got a perfect score on her math test the other day. Who can compare to that level of learning ability? I’ve already investigated those rumors from outside, and Chu Xiang has never said anything negative about our family. It was all Chu Xuan stirring up trouble repeatedly, and when she was exposed, the truth came out. And that medical report, it was accidentally picked up by a classmate…”

“Picked up? I think she deliberately let others see it. I’m telling you, what I said about the study room is true. She’s so good at acting, she’s just a fraud. You should check if the company has leaked any business secrets. I suspect she’s a spy sent by a business rival…”

Mr. Chu squinted his eyes as he looked at his wife and suddenly remembered Chu Xiang’s words. Has his wife developed a psychological problem?
