Abusing one's power to bully others?!

“Hah! That question was really well timed! If only you all were this synchronized when chanting slogans!” Shangguan Xiao glanced at her fingers and said without hesitation, “It doesn’t matter.”

Her voice wasn’t too loud or too soft, yet it echoed throughout the small dormitory. To her surprise, everyone dared to give her looks that clearly said she was lying! Shangguan Xiao was so furious she almost wanted to jump up and kick each of them!

Clenching her fists tightly, veins bulging on her forehead, she snapped, “Do you think I’d lie about having an extra meal tomorrow?”

She even rolled her eyes at them—what a bunch of clueless fools. Deciding not to bother with them any longer, she turned away. Everyone watched her, feeling she didn’t seem to be lying, but appearances can be deceiving.

They absolutely refused to be fooled by Shangguan Xiao’s demeanor! Judging by how she interacted with Ouyang Qianyu, there was no way their relationship was ordinary; surely, there was some unspeakable secret between them!

Just then, someone suddenly pointed at Shangguan Xiao’s clothes and asked, “You say there’s no connection between you two, then what’s the deal with your outfit?”

This really gave Shangguan Xiao a headache. She replied irritably, “What does my clothes have to do with anything?”

Looking down at her outfit, there was nothing wrong with it. Why drag her clothes into this? Besides, wasn’t it just a coincidence that they happened to buy the same set? She was just as confused as anyone.

At that moment, a commotion arose outside. “You’re so poor, and you still dare to come here to study?”

A voice dripping with arrogance flung such harsh words at someone. Everyone furrowed their brows, turning to glare at the source of the insult. Xiao frowned too, recognizing the voice. It sounded so familiar.

Feeling she had heard it somewhere before, she got up from her bed and walked toward the door. Stepping outside, she immediately saw a thoroughly detestable figure. Of course! That’s why the voice sounded so familiar—it was the domineering girl from before!

Looking at the person being bullied, sigh, it was Xiu Xiu again! With the support of the others, Shangguan Xiao stepped out and leaned lazily against the doorframe. She reached out and pretended to scratch her ear, feigning surprise as she said mockingly, “I was wondering who that was, practicing her soprano at this hour. Turns out it’s the chairman’s daughter!”

What should have been a simple statement came out oddly with Shangguan Xiao’s tone. Everyone watching found her quite amusing. Across the entire school, few dared speak to the chairman’s daughter like that.

Those whose families could rival the chairman’s daughter usually couldn’t be bothered with her, and they were all in Class A. Even if she wanted to flirt or cause trouble, they wouldn’t give her the chance.

This led her to bully others with impunity, ruling the school through fear. Rumor had it that Xiu Xiu had stepped on her shoe last time, but when Shangguan Xiao intervened, she almost got beaten up. It was only because Ouyang Qianyu happened to come to school that Shangguan Xiao escaped unscathed.

Didn’t Shangguan Xiao fear the chairman’s daughter? Yet here she was, mocking her openly. Looks like there was about to be some real drama!

Xiu Xiu saw Shangguan Xiao approaching but showed no change in expression. This time, she wouldn’t be so lucky. Last time, Ouyang Qianyu’s help saved her; where was she now to find another prince charming like him to come to her rescue?

Tears slipped down her cheeks involuntarily. She felt the chasm between her family background and these people’s was far too vast. Why did these people always like to bully others just because their families had money?

Watching Xiu Xiu’s pitiful expression, Shangguan Xiao felt a throbbing headache. The chairman’s daughter was just as detestable as she was—both looked down on others with disdain. And Xiu Xiu was no better, always playing the victim, like a fish on the chopping block—helpless and at others’ mercy.

Growing impatient, Shangguan Xiao yawned and stretched lazily. With a grumble, she said, “Tell me, does your overbearing mother, the chairman, know about your behavior?”
