In the kitchen, Bai Zhixi was busy attentively preparing dinner. Her daughter's only good friend had co over to play, so she needed to host them well.
Zhuo Yao was a good girl. When Chuchu had a temper and ran away from ho, it was Zhuo Yao who helped find Chuchu and bring her back. Moreover, Zhuo Yao had a cheerful and generous personality and did well in school. If Chuchu spent more ti with Zhuo Yao, perhaps she would be positively influenced.
She thought generously that she should cook all the at she had bought a few days ago, letting Zhuo Yao and Chuchu have a good al, and then she turned to open the fridge.
Turning her head, she saw Chuchu and Zhuo Yao in the utility room, eting Wan Chuchu's gaze.
Wan Chuchu nodded slightly to her mother, then disdainfully glanced at Zhuo Yao, who had her back to the window. Then, the gray curtain slowly drew shut once again.
Bai Zhixi was stunned. Why were Chuchu and Zhuo Yao talking in the utility room? That room was thick with dust and people rarely went in there. And what did Chuchu's look an just now?
After mulling over it for a few seconds, Bai Zhixi softly walked over to the window, carefully pulling out a piece of paper stuffed there to reveal a small hole. Inside, Zhuo Yao's voice ca through clearly.
"Chuchu, didn't I tell you before, there are many of Liu Li's group, you can't possibly beat them. It's best not to confront them directly, otherwise, you'll only get beaten more. Once they've vented their anger enough, they'll leave you alone. Look at you today, so badly injured."
"You an to let them hit without hitting back, to let them beat as they please?" Wan Chuchu asked flatly.
Zhuo Yao snapped at her eye, "Didn't I tell you about Han Xin enduring humiliation beneath soone's legs?"
Standing in the kitchen, Bai Zhixi frowned.
In the utility room, Zhuo Yao continued her heartfelt persuasion, while Wan Chuchu, having heard a faint noise from the window, had a montary flicker in her eyes. Bai Zhixi was no fool, and that was for the best.
Seeing Wan Chuchu lower her head, Zhuo Yao continued, "If you honestly can't stand Liu Li, do as I say, sleep during class, don't study after class, so you'll completely lack knowledge of the course material. Naturally, your grades will drop. If you can't do it, how could you answer the test correctly? Surely you'd write the howork wrong too. Do this a few tis, and Liu Li will no longer have you take tests or do howork for her.
Make her fall from the pinnacle of being a model student to an ordinary one, and beco a failure that the teachers and classmates dislike. No punishnt is more severe than this. At that ti, we can just wait and watch Liu Li's downfall. Once she loses her spotlight, no one will follow her anymore, and you won't be bullied anymore. We will have had our revenge."
Oh, so this is when she started failing her studies, thought Wan Chuchu sarcastically as she bowed her head. Such blatantly toxic advice, how foolish she was to have swallowed it without hesitation.
No wonder Zhuo Yao led her step by step into a pit of no return. What grudge or hatred did Zhuo Yao have against her?
In the kitchen, Bai Zhixi clenched her fists, her face turning livid. She hadn't realized Chuchu was bullied at school like this, even doing others' howork and taking their tests.
But how could Zhuo Yao co up with such an idea! These two children were too irrational; the knowledge they learned was their own, no matter how much others wanted it, they couldn't take it away.
At this mont, Bai Zhixi still didn't suspect Zhuo Yao. She only thought the two little girls had an incorrect mindset, and she planned to correct their naive ideas.
Just then, she heard her daughter's voice.
Wan Chuchu lifted her head, softly chuckled, and asked, "If I don't study well, will you accompany ?"
Zhuo Yao was taken aback, "Huh?"
Wan Chuchu, growing impatient, said directly, "If I sleep in class, you sleep too. If I don't do howork after class, neither do you. Next ti Liu Li hits , I hope you stand in front of and take the beating with ."
Zhuo Yao, on the opposite side, was astonished, "Chuchu, how can you say this? Aren't we good friends?"
"A good friend should share burdens and joys together, right?" Wan Chuchu said coldly. Her heart gradually turned icy, the facts reminding her once again of how foolish she'd been in the past, an unpleasant realization that made her uncomfortable.
At this point, Zhuo Yao finally sensed sothing was off with Wan Chuchu. She looked carefully at Wan Chuchu, only to see Wan Chuchu filled with disgust, and her heart chilled.
"Chuchu, are you upset because of what happened with Liu Li today? Maybe I should co see you in a few days..."
But Wan Chuchu, unwilling to waste breath on this phony person, asked directly, "I'll just ask you one thing, are you going to stick with through thick and thin?"
"Chuchu, what's wrong with you? You weren't..." Zhuo Yao tried to continue, but was cut off by Wan Chuchu's rciless wave of her hand.
Zhuo Yao's composure began to crumble, her face showing grievance, "Chuchu, you know my dream is to get into university in Beijing..."
"Heh, Zhuo Yao, you're really vicious! You want to go to university yourself but want to be ignorant," Wan Chuchu said sharply and accurately.
Bai Zhixi, in the kitchen, and Zhuo Yao, opposite to her, were both shocked for a mont.
It was as if Bai Zhixi had been doused with cold water, suddenly realizing Zhuo Yao's words were deliberate! It wasn't just a child's ignorance, but unkind intentions toward Chuchu.
Recalling the past years of Chuchu's rebellion and growing distance, Bai Zhixi rembered all the tis she tried to have Zhuo Yao persuade Chuchu, feeling a chill to the bone, as if she fell into an icy cave.
Zhuo Yao must have persuaded Chuchu like this in the past, and she had only aided the wave and brought a wolf into her ho! She had destroyed her own biological daughter!
Bai Zhixi's fingernails dug deeply into her palm, and with trendous effort, she steadied herself to see how Chuchu would handle this. At the sa ti, she smiled bitterly, grateful that Chuchu had exposed Zhuo Yao, this black-hearted girl.
In the utility room, Zhuo Yao's face turned pale, and she blurted out, "Wan Chuchu, how can you say this about ? I co see you right after school, wasting my ti, and it's all for you!" She couldn't accept that Wan Chuchu openly called her malicious.
Without thinking, Wan Chuchu replied rcilessly, "Zhuo Yao, from now on, whatever becos of , Wan Chuchu, has nothing to do with you. I must have been blind to think of you as a friend, as this black-hearted fake innocent. In the future, please don't appear in front of again; it would make sick! Now, please get out of my house, our ho doesn't welco malicious people like you!"
Wan Chuchu picked the words that would hurt the most, feeling slightly pleased as Zhuo Yao appeared stunned and on the verge of collapse. She thought inwardly: Zhuo Yao, there's still the future, and if you can't handle it now, you'll need to brace yourself for what's to co.
No matter how well Zhuo Yao could pretend, she was just a seventeen-year-old girl who couldn't endure Wan Chuchu's sharp words. She stood suddenly and rushed out.
As she dashed out of the living room, Zhuo Yao saw Bai Zhixi's calm face and couldn't help but sob, "Aunt, Chuchu really..." She wanted to sow discord with Bai Zhixi against Wan Chuchu here, but Bai Zhixi didn't respond at all; instead, she said:
"Zhuo Yao, Chuchu is right. Our ho will never welco you again, and please stay away from Chuchu in the future! Don't disgust her."
Zhuo Yao's eyes widened, wishing she could disappear on the spot. She burst into tears, covered her mouth, and fled from the Wan family.
