Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 932

Chu Xiang and Shao Yan had a great time and returned a little tanned but looking even healthier. They brought a bunch of gifts for the Shao couple, making them extremely happy.

As the vacation was coming to an end, the students would be rearranged into different classes. Those in the front classes had the option to stay, but those in the back classes had to move. During this period, Chu Xiang helped Shao Yan with his studies, and he managed to get into the “Rocket Class” through the exams. However, when asked by the teacher if he wanted to be in the same class as Chu Xiang, he declined. On the other hand, Yang Xueqing made it into the “Rocket Class” and became deskmates with Dong Fei. They still had lunch together as a group of five.

Dong Fei, always the one with the most up-to-date gossip, said during lunch, “Did you guys hear? Chu Xuan took a week off, no, I mean Chen Xuan. She really made the Class 4 homeroom teacher angry. He thought Chen Xuan looked down on Class 4 and purposely skipped classes. But I heard from a classmate that Chen Xuan doesn’t want to skip classes; she can’t come!”

Chu Xiang frequently used the Qiankun Mirror to keep tabs on those people, so she already knew the situation. She pretended to be curious and asked, “Why can’t she come?”

Dong Fei glanced around, then leaned on the table and whispered, “Someone saw her in the residential area where she lives. Her biological parents showed up and started living with her. Her dad beat her up pretty badly. How can she come to school with a swollen face!”

Everyone was momentarily stunned, then they turned to look at Chu Xiang. They had all seen Chu Xiang’s medical examination report, so they knew best how violent Chen Xuan’s father could be. No wonder Chen Xuan would rather offend the teachers than come to school. It was too embarrassing. Chen Xuan definitely didn’t want anyone to know.

Chu Xiang frowned, “I was hesitating about whether or not to withdraw the lawsuit, but now it seems I have to push forward. It’s difficult to gather this kind of evidence. It took me years to collect enough proof. If we don’t bring them to justice, they will harm more people.”

Yu Nan slapped the table and said, “Push forward, never withdraw the lawsuit. Even if they come to you, begging and acting pitiful, you can’t give in. You should also think about your biological parents. They brought you into this world, and they might still be looking for you. Instead, you’ve been bullied by those with the Chen surname for so many years. Even for the sake of your parents, the Chens must be punished.”

Chu Xiang’s brow relaxed, and she nodded. “Right now, I only know that Chen Xuan and I are the victims. I don’t know if there are others. By the way, if Chen Xuan can join me in suing them or be a witness for me, the chances of convicting them will be higher. I’ll contact my lawyer and see if we can have Chen Xuan come forward.”

Everyone agreed. It was really difficult to convict in such cases, and no one had a solution. However, with Chu Xiang’s past trauma and Chen Xuan’s recent injuries, the chances of winning the case would be much greater. It wasn’t just about seeking justice for Chu Xiang, but also helping Chen Xuan.

So the lawyer arranged a meeting with Chen Xuan, but Mrs. Chen noticed and flew into a rage. The couple immediately dragged Chen Xuan back home and beat her again. They didn’t allow her to leave the house and only made her give them money to pay off their debts.

Chen Xuan had no way to seek help and endured miserable days. When Mr. Chen grew tired of using his fists, he resorted to using chopsticks or even his belt as a whip. Chen Xuan would often scream and run around in the house, but her well-decorated room with good sound insulation prevented the neighbors from noticing her suffering.

Chen Xuan had a high fever, but they refused to give her medicine or seek medical treatment. The thing she feared the most after being reborn was dying, but with two people watching over her, she couldn’t escape. She had no choice but to bring out the money. However, she was used to living extravagantly, and her savings were only a few hundred thousand. The Chen family owed ten million, so she had to sell her house and several valuable pieces of jewelry to finally gather the required amount.

They moved to a dilapidated small house in the outskirts of the Chen residence. When the Chen couple left to repay their debts, Chen Xuan smashed the glass and escaped, running straight to the school to find Chu Xiang.

People at the school were startled when they saw her!

Her current appearance was truly terrifying. One eye was swollen, almost shut, her face was bruised, and there were cracks at the corners of her mouth. Her exposed wrists bore marks from being struck.

She rushed into a classroom directly. After all, her classmates had known her for over two years, so seeing her in such a state elicited sympathy. But before anyone could console her, she aggressively grabbed Chu Xiang’s arm and interrogated her, “Did you do it on purpose? Did you intentionally send that lawyer to my house, letting them see and beat me, treating me like a criminal? You want revenge, don’t you? You want me to taste what it’s like to be beaten, right?!”

The classmates frowned. Chu Xiang pushed her away and coldly replied, “Chen Xuan, I heard you were beaten and kindly approached you to join me. I was clearly helping you. What do you mean by saying this now? Are you trying to blame me for the suffering you’ve endured? Without my evidence, can you even file a lawsuit against them? I’m afraid you wouldn’t even be able to initiate the case.”

Other classmates echoed similar sentiments. After all, the situation was clear. Chu Xiang was putting aside past grievances to help Chen Xuan, possibly because she couldn’t stand seeing her being beaten again. Even if they disliked Chen Xuan before, when it came to domestic violence, they hoped for a positive outcome. But now she was turning the tables, and everyone’s impression of her worsened.

Frustrated by how well Chu Xiang was received, Chen Xuan’s chest heaved as she exclaimed, “She has deceived all of you! She’s a liar! In the changing room, it was her who shredded my uniform and drew on my face, but none of you believed me. Her current appearance is all an act! And as for my mother, she never laid a hand on her. It was Chu Xiang who insulted my mother in the study and falsely accused her of hitting her while smearing red marks on her own face. She’s the one who is the best at pretending and being malicious. Don’t trust her!”
