Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 933
The classroom fell silent, not because they believed her words, but because they found it incredible. How could she always come up with such natural-sounding nonsense? If Chu Xiang’s current appearance was indeed an act, then her acting skills would make her a top contender for an Oscar.
The classmates no longer had any sympathy for her. The saying, The one who is pitiful must also have some blame, may not be entirely accurate, but it couldn’t be more appropriate for Chen Xuan. This person was truly detestable!
Yu Nan spoke up, “This is Class 1, and you’re no longer our classmate. Please leave and don’t disturb our studies.”
Many classmates echoed the sentiment. They were not idle, and they had no time to deal with Chen Xuan. Even Wang Shasha found Chen Xuan’s presence disruptive to her own studying.
At this moment, Chu Xiang spoke thoughtfully, “Are you so angry because I filed a lawsuit against your parents? Are you afraid they will go to prison? In fact, the past is already in the past. If you want to withdraw the lawsuit…”
As soon as Chen Xuan heard this, she stared at Chu Xiang and said, “No! I can’t withdraw the lawsuit! You must bring them to justice and send them to prison! They are scums, unworthy of living in this society!”
Chen Xuan had suffered enough from her family in her previous life. She used to be popular, but the Chen family, in front of reporters, accused her of being unfilial, which ruined her reputation and destroyed her career. She knew the Chen family were like vampires, only to be appeased with money. Now that she had been driven out of the Chu family without any money, the only chance she had to escape them was through Chu Xiang.
She immediately apologized to Chu Xiang and fixed her gaze on her, hoping that she would carry the lawsuit to the end.
She came here to cooperate, not to argue with Chu Xiang. But the shadows and resentment from being beaten in the past few days made her unable to resist questioning her when she saw Chu Xiang. She was certain that the lawyer had done it intentionally. Chu Xiang had ill intentions and wanted her to be beaten.
However, now that she looked at Chu Xiang’s innocent appearance, she couldn’t say anything. No matter what she said, no one would believe her.
She suddenly understood how Chu Xiang felt in the past.
Being unable to defend oneself, hated and isolated by classmates, abused and scolded by the Chen family, ignored by the Chu family, and even betrayed by her sisters. Chu Xiang had almost done the exact same things to her, even more cruelly. And she had no way to fight back.
With Chen Xuan’s statement, even if everyone saw how badly she was beaten, there were still comments about her being unfilial. Some even said that she was too ruthless and malicious. Even if she had reasons for this incident, they couldn’t associate with her, fearing they might be stabbed someday. Especially when she kept referring to Mrs. Chu as “Mom,” but now she changed her last name. The Chen couple were her parents. Such behavior was hard for people to accept.
That’s just how people are. If a child wanted their parents to go to prison, even if the parents were at fault, the label of “unfilial” would stick. For example, even if a murderer kills the wrongdoer only to avenge their parents, others would still be afraid to approach them.
It was for this same reason that Chu Xiang wanted to sever ties with the Chu family through a paternity test. She would never allow herself to be wronged in this world and would surely achieve great things in the future. But as for the Chu family, she would definitely deal with them. When that time comes, as long as she is still considered a daughter of the Chu family, no matter how much injustice she has faced, others will still say she is unfilial or that she has gone too far.
Without the blood relation, currently both the Chen family and the Chu family owe her. So no matter how destitute these two families become in the future, no one will blame her anymore. She didn’t even need to confront them directly. There were many ways to make them suffer, just like now. Weren’t they unhappy every single day?
This was just the beginning. As for her, at most, she would keep her distance from them and neither harm nor help them.
Of course, her physical abuses still needed to be accounted for.
After the court trial, with Chu Xiang having multiple medical reports, neighbors as witnesses, and Chen Xuan’s filed reports along with her current injuries, Mr. and Mrs. Chen were successfully convicted. Mr. Chen was sentenced to three years, and his wife was sentenced to one year. Both of them would have to go to prison, and there was no escape for either of them.
Shao Yan felt it was not enough, so he added several charges of commercial crimes to Mr. Chen, increasing his sentence to eight years. Although Mrs. Chen couldn’t receive additional charges, he made arrangements for her to have a difficult time inside the prison. Chu Xiang endured so much suffering for 17 years, so he was determined to make Mrs. Chen taste the same within this year.
With the Chen family in prison, Chen Xuan finally recovered from her injuries and could return to school. However, her reputation in the school had reached rock bottom. In Class 4, she faced unfamiliar teachers and classmates, and she was completely isolated at school without anyone to talk to.
She felt embarrassed, but she had no choice. She was broke and couldn’t even transfer to another school. There was only a small amount of money left in her bank account, barely enough to pay for the dormitory fee to live on campus, and she still didn’t know how she would manage to pay for the next semester’s tuition.
When she saw Chu Xiang flourishing at school, she couldn’t understand it at all. How could everything change so drastically in less than a month? She had a rebirth, so why did she still lose to Chu Xiang?
