Su Jin nodded, indicating that she understood. Since they reached an agreement, she’d follow through.

Only then did Xi Chenxiao let go of her without anyone noticing his subtle smugness. “There’s everything you need in my bedroom, including your clothes. You’d only have to…”

The moment he lifted his head, his expression turned grim. D*mn it, she’d already bolted.

As Xi Tian witnessed it all, he couldn’t hide his joy. And when he sensed the atmosphere, he swallowed it and recollected himself. “Sir, Madam ran straight into school the moment you released her.”

Xi Chenxiao remained silent, staring at the empty seat. Then, he turned to Xi Tian, eyes shooting daggers.

Xi Tian felt his death stare, and he turned to explain manically, “Sir, I swear I saw nothing. It was suddenly dim.”

It was the first time Xi Chenxiao had embarrassed himself and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make fun of him. But he couldn’t. He was frightened that his boss might pull his tongue off, turning him into a mute.

Xi Chenxiao tightened his grip on his document and shifted his gaze to the building. F*ck. How dare she humiliate him? He’d need to teach her a lesson after she came home that night. “The office,” he instructed, and Xi Tian started the engine immediately without saying another word.

In the school, Su Jin rushed to her seat. The instant she sat down, the teacher had come through the door. Before she could get her books out of her bag, the teacher called her name.

“If you would please stand up, Ms. Su Jin.”

Su Jin paused for a second before standing up. Confused, she typed her question on her phone. “Did I do anything wrong?”

The students in the class started mumbling and gossiping around, gloating.

“Hah. Just look at her: a slacker and a wh*re.”

“Our teacher must be using her as a negative example to educate her and as a warning.”

“Yup, though her sister isn’t anywhere better, she’s smart and doesn’t fool around with guys at least.”

“Her reputation in our school stinks. It’s best if she drops out.”

“Ain’t that right. With her level of thick skin, I’d say she’s shameless.”

Su Jin heard all the sarcasm. She smirked a little and typed. “Dear classmates, should I remind you what sh*tty class this is? We’re all trash and slackers, and we stink this school. A wh*re? Someone else among us deserves and wins that title. Let’s not neglect the fact that I outshine each trash of you, and someday, I’ll rise above. But trash will always be trash. Period.”

The ridiculing students went silent. All of them knew Su Jin was right. They were all trash. Still, they protested.

“Did you hear what she said? She insulted us.”

“As our teacher, shouldn’t you take action against her? Be fair, and put her in her place.”

The teacher ignored their request because they were the ones who’d started it. Su Jin merely struck back, and they should call it even. As an educator, it wasn’t right to misuse her power.

Uneasy, Su Jin looked at her teacher. She wasn’t popular in the school, and she knew it well. Every teacher held it against her, and she thought this one was the same..
