Chapter 15: Full of Malice

Haitang hadn’t considered the safety issues on the way to and from school before, after all, there was a bus stop outside the family building with direct buses to the school.

But if the bad guys were hiding in the stairwell, having someone accompanying her could at least provide support and buy time for help to arrive, even if they couldn’t scare the bad guys away.

Thinking this way, Haitang thanked her: “Grandma Xu is so thoughtful, then I’ll hire this auntie. How much is the monthly salary that Grandma Xu and Auntie have agreed on?”

Xu Yanran saw that Haitang offered to pay the nanny’s salary herself and didn’t argue with her about it, telling Haitang the salary.

Then Haitang packed her things and left with the hired nanny, Aunt Quan.

On September 1st, Haitang went to the teacher’s office of Beidu No. 1 High School and reported to Teacher Zhu, the head teacher of Class 1, Grade 2.

Su Ye had already arrived at Teacher Zhu’s desk before her. The two didn’t greet each other, as they had agreed before school started to pretend not to know each other at school.

After Haitang introduced herself to Teacher Zhu, Teacher Zhu told her that there was another transfer student.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice sounded behind her: “Teacher Zhu, I’m the transfer student, Wen Li.”

Haitang turned around to look behind her, and at the moment she met Wen Li’s eyes, she clearly captured a trace of panic.

Although Haitang was puzzled by Wen Li’s reaction, she didn’t show it on her face. She raised a smile and took the initiative to greet her, “Wen Li, long time no see, I didn’t expect us to have the fate to be classmates.”

Teacher Zhu didn’t expect the two girls to be acquaintances. She stood up while smiling and said, “I didn’t expect you two to know each other, that’s quite a coincidence.”

Haitang smiled and continued, “We used to be in the same school, but I was one grade higher than Wen Li.

In May this year, my uncle took my application form from the school’s admissions office behind my back, so I can only repeat another year.”

The subtext of Haitang’s first sentence was that she was not familiar with Wen Li, and she took the opportunity to explain the reason why she was repeating a grade.

Teacher Zhu’s thoughtful gaze swept back and forth between the two girls before saying, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to Class 1.”

It was early self-study time, and the classroom was originally very quiet. As Teacher Zhu and the four of them entered the classroom, the students’ eyes all looked towards the podium.

Then gasps sounded one after another, and many gazes fell on Haitang and Su Ye, while Wen Li became the one who was ignored.

Feeling like she was an invisible person, Wen Li gritted her teeth and lowered her eyes, hiding the jealousy and hatred in her eyes, and clenched her hands into fists at her sides.

At this time, Teacher Zhu opened his mouth and said, “Three new students have transferred to our class this semester. Come on, introduce yourselves.”

Su Ye looked at Haitang and Wen Li, and Haitang spoke generously: “Hello everyone, my name is Haitang, please take care of me in the future.”

After someone set an example, Wen Li followed closely and said, “Hello everyone, my name is Wen Li, please take care of me in the future.”

Finally, Su Ye said, “My name is Su Ye, please take care of me.”

After Teacher Zhu finished introducing the three, he said to Haitang, “Haitang, you sit in the empty seat on the left, third row by the window.”

Haitang’s gaze fell on the empty seat as Teacher Zhu spoke, and then she found that her deskmate was a beautiful girl.

After she sat down, her deskmate introduced herself enthusiastically: “Haitang, hello, my name is Mingyue.”

Mingyue paused, looked at Haitang with burning eyes, and exclaimed, “You are so beautiful.”

Su Ye, who was arranged to sit behind Haitang, happened to hear this.

Seeing that Mingyue’s eyes were purely admiring Haitang’s appearance, he couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips and exclaimed in his heart: “She’s really so cute.”

Haitang praised back in a low voice: “You are also very beautiful.” And cheered in her heart, she was lucky this time, and met a particularly friendly deskmate.

On the other side, Wen Li was arranged to sit in the empty seat on the right, third row by the window.

Teacher Zhu arranged the new students and left the classroom.

And Haitang, because she had a friendly and cheerful deskmate, quickly figured out the situation of the school, and adapted to the new school in a few days.

This day, after Haitang asked Teacher Zhu about English problems, she was bumped hard by a female classmate, Zhang Xiaoxue, who came out of the classroom when she returned to the classroom.

Because she was unprepared, the other party was very strong and bumped her hard, Haitang fell straight back.

Just as Haitang was mentally prepared to fall on her butt, a big hand steadily pressed on her shoulder, and at the same time, her arm was pulled.

Her falling body was stabilized, and a concerned question sounded: “Are you okay!”

Haitang was familiar with this voice, it was Su Ye. She shook her head and thanked him at the same time: “I’m fine, thank you.”

Su Ye had already released Haitang’s arm after Haitang stood firm, and then his gaze thoughtfully fell on Zhang Xiaoxue.

Zhang Xiaoxue looked worried and apologized to Haitang: “Haitang, I’m sorry, I didn’t pay attention to the situation at the classroom door, and I was walking too fast, but I didn’t do it on purpose, you won’t blame me, will you!”

The movement between the two had already attracted many students to surround them.

Although Zhang Xiaoxue apologized, Haitang still felt full of malice behind that panicked mask.

If she followed Zhang Xiaoxue’s words and said that she didn’t blame her, Zhang Xiaoxue would only bully her even more in the future.

And the other students would either watch coldly or join Zhang Xiaoxue and bully her together.

Her past life experience made her never underestimate the evil of human nature.

She didn’t want to give people the impression that she was easy to bully, so that anyone could step on her in the future.

Thinking this way, Haitang raised her hand and pressed her injured left shoulder, her eyes were red, and she said in a well-behaved and aggrieved manner: “My arm is numb now, and my shoulder hurts so much.

Although you didn’t do it on purpose, you did hit me, I want to go to the clinic to check the injury, if the injury is serious, you have to bear all the medical expenses, you can understand, right!”

Su Ye, who was still worried that Haitang would let Zhang Xiaoxue go lightly, not only felt relieved after hearing Haitang’s words, but also inexplicably had the idea that Zhang Xiaoxue was going to be in big trouble.

Haitang’s words were beyond Zhang Xiaoxue’s expectations, causing her to be speechless for a while.

And Haitang didn’t intend to give Zhang Xiaoxue time to think of a countermeasure, and then said, “Which classmate is willing to go to the clinic with me to be a witness.”

“I’ll go with you.” Mingyue squeezed out of the crowd, stood next to Haitang, then turned to look at Su Ye: “You go too, who else wants to go?”

Haitang then opened her mouth in a soft voice: “Or Zhang Xiaoxue, you point out two people, and then we’ll call the head teacher, don’t worry, I will never do anything sneaky to wrong you.”

She was already very beautiful, and her big eyes were red and wet at this time, making people feel pity for her, coupled with her soft voice.

Many of the onlookers were biased towards Haitang and asked Zhang Xiaoxue to pick people.

Zhang Xiaoxue didn’t move for a long time, which made Mingyue unbearable, and she questioned Zhang Xiaoxue, “Zhang Xiaoxue, what are you hesitating about?
