Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time
Chapter 235: Escape

Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Escape

Su Xiaomei never expected things to develop this way.

What kind of background does this Wan Chu’er have?

Didn’t Zheng Yun say that she was just an orphan, an ignorant woman who tried to seduce Yan Hui by flaunting her modest beauty?

Why would the school’s teachers protect Wan Chu’er like this?

What should she do now?

Should she use her family’s background to intimidate these people?

When she came to study, she never deliberately flaunted her family’s situation, as it was deemed inappropriate. Should she do it now?

Su Xiaomei hesitated.

Or should she shift the entire blame onto Zheng Yun? Just say she was threatened by Zheng Yun.

No, Zheng Yun is not someone to be trifled with.

What should she do?

In the midst of Su Xiaomei’s confusion, she suddenly heard Director Wang say, "Su Xiaomei, apologize to your classmate Wan Chu’er now."

Wan Chu’er’s face then appeared in front of her, looking at her with a calm and composed expression.

"Su, if you dare to do it, you should own up to it. Please show your sincerity."

To Su Xiaomei, this statement felt like a mockery.

With four serious teachers staring beside her, Su Xiaomei steeled her heart and said:

"Actually, I am also a victim in this matter. I did post the message, but the content wasn’t written by me; it was Senior Sister Zheng Yun who asked me to post it for her."

"Senior Sister Zheng Yun said that Wan Chu’er was trying to steal her boyfriend, and she was upset about it, so she wanted me to post an article for her.

I impulsively posted that article because I was indignant on behalf of Senior Sister Zheng Yun."

Wan Chu’er glanced at her lightly and said, "If Zheng Yun says that her boyfriend is Yan Hui, then she is delusional.

To my knowledge, Mr. Yan is not Zheng Yun’s boyfriend at all, and he doesn’t think much of Zheng Yun.

Mr. Yan teaches at our school, and you can confirm this with him."

Su Xiaomei paused and put on an innocent expression, saying, "I didn’t know."

Wan Chu’er chuckled slightly, her eyes playfully watching her as she said:

"Su, regardless, you were the one who posted it, and you have already damaged my reputation. Please apologize to me, take this as a lesson, and think more carefully in the future when posting for others."

Su Xiaomei clenched her fists tightly, her fingernails digging into her palms, and through gritted teeth, she said:

"Wan Chu’er, must you really make things difficult for me?"

Wan Chu’er just steadily looked at her, clearly insisting on an apology.

An ethics committee teacher at the back said, "Su Xiaomei, what Wan Chu’er said is correct, you have indeed harmed her, so the school’s decision stands."

Su Xiaomei felt that she couldn’t stay here any longer and be at their mercy; these teachers were clearly in cahoots with Wan Chu’er.

She was all alone, weak and unsupported.

Staying here would only bring more humiliation upon herself.

Escaping might be a good choice, to give this matter and herself some breathing space. She needed time to find support and solutions.

Apologizing to Wan Chu’er was out of the question!

As her mind raced, Su Xiaomei immediately took action; she turned and ran to the door, pulled it open, and fled.

"Su Xiaomei, student..."

Upon realizing the situation, the teachers in the office quickly called for Su Xiaomei, but they failed to call her back.

Su Xiaomei felt that this day was the darkest in her life history.

She had never imagined she would flee in utter disarray, that she would run away, her pride seeming to shatter the moment she ran out the door.

After running away, Su Xiaomei initially thought about immediately calling Zheng Yun, but she put down the phone as soon as she picked it up.

Tomorrow would be her grandfather’s 60th birthday, she would discuss this matter when she sees Zheng Yun tomorrow.

Everything would have to wait until after tomorrow, tomorrow was an important day, she couldn’t afford even the slightest mishap.

But she couldn’t understand how Wan Chu’er had managed all this.

It turned out that after Wan Chu’er went home that day and talked about borrowing power, Old Sir Zhong had Li Shan find out who had bullied her, and upon learning the situation, he flew into a great rage.

Daring to tarnish his only granddaughter!

He directly called the Minister of Education, and the matter was then taken up there.

Thus, layer by layer, the school’s disciplinary office treated it as a major threat and hurriedly dealt with the matter.

Wan Chu’er was still clueless when called by the instructor to understand the situation.

By the time she realized her grandfather had exerted influence, she unapologetically took advantage of the situation and filed a complaint.

That’s why Su Xiaomei was criticized without receiving any news beforehand.

On Friday afternoon, Wan Chu’er had no classes and returned home early.

These days, the delicious food prepared by Yan Hui’s mother, Mrs. Zhu, had successfully captivated her taste buds.

When she got home, Old Sir Zhong said, "Let Li Shan accompany you to buy two outfits to wear tomorrow."

Wan Chu’er chirped, "Is that necessary? It’s not like it’s a significant event. I’m going there to make a statement, not really to celebrate someone’s birthday."

Old Sir Zhong snorted, speaking bluntly, "Making a statement needs presence, wearing this, others might think you are a beggar, and straightaway kick you out. No matter how capable you are, can you fight a whole row of security staff alone?"

Wan Chu’er felt that Old Sir Zhong was conning her, making her out to be a beggar—dressed like this, one wouldn’t need to beg.

"Your presence is my power! Can they kick out someone brought by you? I should reconsider borrowing power from you."

Seeing that he couldn’t intimidate Wan Chu’er and was instead being teased by her, Old Sir Zhong snorted.

In fact, he intentionally seized this opportunity to announce to the world that Wan Chu’er was his granddaughter, letting people be more careful not to bully her in the future.

Li Shan, seeing Old Sir eat his words, cleverly interjected for once:

"Miss Wan, actually, for such occasions, every woman would dress splendidly. If you go like this, not only will you embarrass yourself, but you will also disgrace Old Sir."

His words were quite blunt, causing Wan Chu’er to glare at Li Shan.

Eventually, with no other choice, Wan Chu’er agreed to go out and buy clothes, but she didn’t want to go with Li Shan; such a blockheaded, bulky person, what taste could he possibly have?

"Where is my Second Brother? I’ll have my Second Brother accompany me to buy clothes."

Li Shan said, "Xiao Bai is very busy these days, without any surprises, he’ll only be back after ten o’clock at night."

Oh, she remembered, Xiao Bai had recently been busy setting up a tech company.

Li Shan drove her, turning left and right, and found a tailor shop hidden deep in an alley. Inside, a six-to-seventy-year-old man with glasses was intently drawing lines on a cloth.

When he saw Li Shan, he stopped what he was doing.

"You’re here? Why didn’t Old Man Zhong come?"

Li Shan honestly replied, "This is the Old Sir’s granddaughter. The Old Sir wants you to prepare a suit for her; she has a banquet to attend tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the old tailor’s ruler immediately fell to the ground. He looked at Wan Chu’er in disbelief and asked, "Old Man Zhong’s granddaughter?"
