chapter 35 - Forceful Counter-Attack (强硬回击)
The students didn’t know what had happened, but after hearing what Jiang Xia had said, they instantly understood .
Jing Yunzhao closed her book and turned her head to face Jiang Xia . Her eyes were cold . “I can’t see that you were trying to help me . Also, not everyone is Qiao Hongye . Not everyone can be as smooth and slick as her . You speak so confidently . Those who know what’s going on would think you’re kind-hearted . Those who don’t would think that you’re the son of Qiao Weimin!”
“Jing Yunzhao, how could you say that? Class monitor’s so nice…” the committee member sitting in front of Jing Yunzhao turned around and said .
The committee member’s name was Ye Qing (叶青) . She was good-looking and her grades were the second-highest of the class . Jiang Xia and Ye Qing were a cubically recognized as a couple . They just didn’t break through that paper window yet .
(T/N: I’m assuming Jiang Xia and Ye Qing weren’t together but were shipped together by the other students . Please correct me if I’m wrong . )
“The class monitor may seem nice to you, but what does that have to do with me?!” Jing Yunzhao responded without hesitation . “You guys don’t understand someone’s past yet you still try to decide their future for them . Do you really think you’re Gods?! My problems with the Qiaos are my business . I’m really curious, class monitor, if you’ve eaten too much salt until you’re so bored . You want me to apologize to Qiao Hongye? I want to ask you for what reason?!”
(T/N: Salty ( xian / 咸) is homonymous with idle/free ( xian / 闲 ) . I used bored because it sounded better . )
She wanted a good reputation, but she will not let others control her .
She would have a favorable reputation one day . If people were still going against her as they did before, she wouldn’t force herself .
Jing Yunzhao’s aura became serious . When she gets angry, her aura was quite scary .
“Like I said, the Qiaos raised you for so long . Also, you won’t have money if you don’t go home…” Jiang Xia stomach was full of anger and replied angrily .
He was only meant well . He had never seen such an ungrateful and unappreciative person . No wonder no one liked her before . Well-deserved!
After he said that, a slight smile appeared on Jing Yunzhao’s face .
Everyone thinks she owes the Qiaos . Can she ask, does she really owe them? No!
“Great Class Monitor Jiang, you grew up in the sweet hive of honeybees, so you naturally don’t know how a person like me lived . I don’t mind telling you that before I even started school, I had already learned to do housework . You’re attending school for your future . I’m attending it for the scholarship money . The Qiaos didn’t pay a single cent of my tuition . Every cent I spent were all earned honorably . You said I was raised by the Qiaos for so long? But why do I think that you’re satirizing the Qiaos?!”
Jing Yunzhao’s memory of the past 15 years became more and more clear .
When she was little, she had no abilities to make money, so she did her best to enter different types of contents . She especially picked those that offers prize money . All the other contestants had parents with them, but she was always alone .
When she entered junior high, she needed a bit more money . She spent her Saturdays working . However, she was too young and no one wanted her . She always had to do a lot to get a job . The money she earned was so little that it was pitiful .
The her in the past believed that Ye Qin and Qiao Hongye only made her do that because they wanted her to be successful . But now, she understood that they didn’t even want to waste a single bowl of rice and porridge . If she really owed the Qiaos, she had already repaid them in her past life .
Jiang Xia didn’t expect Jing Yunzhao to say that and was dumbfounded .
Jing Yunzhao didn’t use the Qiaos’ money for tuition? Even her living expenses were earned by herself? No way…
“I don’t care if you’re only being nice or doing it on purpose, but from today on, I don’t want anyone to act like Jiang Xia . I don’t want anyone to persuade me to return to the Qiaos . This is the first time . I’m enduring it . If there’s a second time…I’ll let you know that even a mediator would have to face the consequences!”
