Seeing Ye Wushuang engrossed in her book, not even bothering to look at her, Sun Hongxia couldn’t help but become even angrier.

She walked off the podium, stopped in front of Ye Wushuang, and raised her hand to slap her!

“You’re asking for it!”

She wouldn’t even dare to hit her precious son, so why should Ye Wushuang, a lowly country bumpkin, get away with it?

The slap came fast, but Ye Wushuang subtly narrowed her black eyes, her pupils filled with killing intent.

She retaliated with a backhand slap, landing squarely on Sun Hongxia’s chubby face!

Slap!

Sun Hongxia staggered backward, stunned.

Gasps echoed from the back of the classroom, and the students’ eyes widened in amazement.

Ye Wushuang is amazing! She even dared to hit the school board member! Zhang Chao was also dumbfounded.

His heart filled with rage, he grabbed the teaching stick from the desk beside him and swung it towards Ye Wushuang.

“You bitch!”

Ye Wushuang’s eyes were cold, she dodged sideways, and with a swift kick, landed a blow to Zhang Chao’s stomach.

“Oof!”

Zhang Chao also stumbled back, bumping into his mother.

Poor Sun Hongxia, who hadn’t fully recovered from the slap, was knocked to the ground with a “Duang.”

“Crack!” A bone snapped!

Sun Hongxia had never experienced such pain, and she fainted immediately.

“Mom!”

Zhang Chao yelled, seeing his mother unconscious, quickly called a few classmates to help carry her to the infirmary.

Before leaving, he couldn’t help but repeat his previous words: “Ye Wushuang, you dared to hit a school board member. You’re going to regret this!”

The classroom returned to its previous silence.

The intense gaze from the back of the classroom was too much, so Ye Wushuang turned around to face them. Her exquisite, beautiful face remained expressionless and indifferent.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

The students, hands and feet working in unison, scrambled towards the corners.

They were afraid that Ye Wushuang, in a fit of displeasure, would beat them up too.

However, Ye Wushuang had no interest in beating them. She simply sat down and continued flipping through her book.

Her current trial mission was to achieve first place in the monthly exam.

Only by completing 30 trial missions could she resurrect her brother.

She didn’t want to fail at the first hurdle.

Soon, an uplifting rhythm filled the air from the loudspeaker.

It was the entrance music for the flag-raising ceremony, reminding students and staff to assemble at the plaza.

Ye Wushuang closed her book, organizing the knowledge in her mind, and followed her classmates out of the classroom.

Ten minutes later, the plaza was packed with students and teachers.

The simple yet dignified flag-raising ceremony ended, and the Vice Principal, a man with white hair and a dark blue Tang suit, took the stage to deliver a speech.

The speech was predictable, and everyone was listless until the student representative came on stage to give a speech.

He was a young man of about 18 or 19, with brown hair, handsome features, and a black and white British-style school uniform, looking like a protagonist from a Japanese manga.

The audience immediately became restless, with the girls especially excited.

“Ohhhhh! Shen Wenyu, the school heartthrob!”

“I dream of dating Shen Wenyu, but unfortunately, he already has a fiancée, Ye Wushuang. Waaah!”

“How come a country bumpkin can marry Shen Wenyu? I don’t accept it!!”

“What good does it do to protest? Even if Ye Wushuang wasn’t in the picture, it wouldn’t be your turn, would it?”

“Exactly, Shen Wenyu has publicly stated that Rong Qingru, the school beauty, is the girl who best fits his criteria for a partner!”

As soon as “Rong Qingru” was mentioned, everyone’s eyes unconsciously turned to a young girl.

The girl was slender, with long flowing hair, and she was wearing her school uniform. She was beautiful and had a gentle aura.

The boys around her all looked at her with adoration and admiration, as if she were a holy goddess from Greek mythology.

“She’s even more beautiful than before, after being away for the summer…”

“Even though the school beauty rankings haven’t ended yet, the winner will definitely be the goddess, right?”

“That’s not even a question. What other girl could surpass the goddess in every way?”

“None! Rong Qingru, yyds!” (yyds = “forever the strongest”, a popular internet slang in China)

At that moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside the plaza.

It was Sun Hongxia, with her arm in a cast, and Zhang Chao.

They walked onto the stage without a word, causing Shen Wenyu to pause his speech in confusion, and the teachers behind him were also puzzled.

The Vice Principal was the first to approach them, his voice concerned, “School board member Sun and student Zhang, what happened? How did you get hurt?”

School board members were the financial backers of the school, so the Vice Principal could only offer compliments.

“We were beaten up by a student from your school!” Sun Hongxia gritted her teeth, touching her still-swollen face. If the school doctor hadn’t come to her rescue, she didn’t know how long she would have been unconscious.

“What?” The Vice Principal was shocked.

A student dared to beat up a school board member and her son like this?

Sun Hongxia snorted coldly, turning to look at Shen Wenyu.

She thought: Ye Wushuang dared to hit them because she has the Shen family behind her, right?

So she’ll go straight for the Shen family!

Compared to the Shen family, which had only risen to prominence in recent decades, the Zhang family she married into was a long-established wealthy family in Yancheng!

In terms of seniority and status, the Zhang family came before the Shen family!

Sun Hongxia, full of confidence, questioned him, “Shen Wenyu, how did your family educate their daughter-in-law? Look at what Ye Wushuang did to me and my son!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in an uproar.

The timid and bullied country bumpkin had beaten up the arrogant and overbearing Sun Hongxia and her son?

Was it true?

“Is Mrs. Sun joking?” Shen Wenyu frowned, instinctively disbelieving it.

Zhang Chao pointed to his face, bruised and swollen, “Would my mom make up something like this?”

Considering Zhang Chao and Sun Hongxia’s personalities, it was unlikely they were lying. Shen Wenyu internally cursed Ye Wushuang for causing him trouble, then said, “Mrs. Sun and Young Master Zhang, please calm down. Ye Wushuang is from the countryside, she has no manners. Don’t bother with her.”

Sun Hongxia grew even angrier, “Don’t bother with her? So, you mean I should be forgiving and merciful after me and my son were beaten? Shen Wenyu, I think your Shen family is trying to end our collaboration with the Zhang family!”

Mentioning the collaboration between the two families, Shen Wenyu’s expression changed drastically, “Mrs. Sun, you’ve misunderstood. I’ll make Ye Wushuang properly apologize to you two until you’re satisfied!”

“Call Ye Wushuang up!” Sun Hongxia’s voice was sharp, “This matter won’t be resolved until everyone is happy!”

The Vice Principal hurriedly stepped in front of the microphone, “Ye Wushuang from Class 2, Grade 12, come up!”

The crowd automatically parted for Ye Wushuang, making her the center of attention.

It was at this moment that the full extent of Ye Wushuang’s transformation became apparent to everyone.

The students couldn’t help but whisper among themselves, “Is this really that timid and ugly Ye Wushuang? I thought you were kidding when you said she became beautiful!”

“I also thought the photos you sent me this morning were Photoshopped… But she’s even more beautiful in person than in the photos???”

“With this beauty, it’s not an exaggeration to say she’s prettier than Rong Qingru, right?”

“What good is beauty? Is she as intelligent as Goddess Rong? Is she as talented as Goddess Rong?”

“She’s just gone from an ugly fool to a not-so-ugly fool. If she had any brains, she wouldn’t have beaten Sun Hongxia and Zhang Chao like that.”

“You’re right…”

Ye Wushuang ignored the gazes from all around her, her expression calm as she walked towards the stage.

It felt like she wasn’t facing accusations on stage, but a coronation ceremony for the victor.

As soon as she stepped onto the platform, a slender woman stood beside her.

The woman pointed at Ye Wushuang’s nose, her spittle flying, “Ye Wushuang, who told you to beat up the school board member and your classmates? How did I teach you to behave? Apologize and admit your mistake right now!”

Her name was Huang Jiajia, and she was the homeroom teacher of Class 2, Grade 12.

Since this fight happened in her class, she was partially responsible.

Instead of waiting for the school administration and school board to question her, she might as well confront Ye Wushuang first, showing that she was also innocent!
