Three days later, inside Prestige High School.
It was another boring maths class. Jiang Mianmian was wearing her wireless headphones and enjoying her movie in secret whereas Gong Xiaoqi was mindlessly surfing through Weibo.
As the protagonist was watching a horror flick where it was at its most scary moment, her friend suddenly cried out to her in hushed alarm. The cry of shock almost caused her to flip the cell phone in her hand.
With an ashen-white face, Gong Xiaoqi seemed ambivalent about passing her phone to Jiang Mianmian to share the content she just discovered.
The latter frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Without waiting for a reply, she snatched the cell phone from her friend’s hand to have a look…
[The most shameless and promiscuous girl thug in Prestige High School]
The glaring headline in red caught her attention, while the subsequent content and images below the headline left nothing to the imagination.
The few photos published were taken inside a nightclub. The article mainly described the bad behavior of the girl with thick makeup and skimpy clothes in the photos. The names of the few boys associated with her were exposed as well, including the son of a senior government official, Gong Qiao; school bully in Prestige High; and the youngest son from the well-known Zhan family, Zhan Qiyou.
This tabloid news piece was published in the Tieba1 that belonged to high society’s Prestige High School. This Tieba community was mostly comprised of students of the school.
By then, the sound of whispering had broken out inside the peaceful classroom. The news on the school’s Tieba had spread like wildfire, and it seemed that everyone in the school had caught wind of the gossip almost immediately.
…
The protagonist’s face was grim. It was not difficult for her to guess who was the mastermind behind the latest hoo-ha.
She had switched schools multiple times in the past for getting into fights, before finally transferring to Prestige High School. It was thanks to Zhan Qiyou who had pestered her relentlessly, that she was able to stay out of trouble in this school… the President, then, decided to conceal Jiang Mianmian’s identity as the president’s daughter. For one thing, this was to prevent the cocky young girl from bullying other students; and also to prevent her from ruining the president’s reputation in this school favored by prestigious families.
Those whom did not know her identity as the president’s first daughter were not her enemy.
There were not many who knew of her true identity as well, and out of those who knew, few had the courage to lock horns with the presidential palace…
Her lips curled into a frigid snigger which disturbed her friend greatly. “Sister Mian, what do you plan to do about this matter?”
…
After the school bell signaled the end of the class. She was immediately invited into the principal’s office.
A few school leaders had already gathered inside the office and threw her a look of disgust when she walked in.
The reason the principal was involved was because of the limited information they had on this girl. There was nothing on the school record, and the teachers did not have a clue on her background either. However, only the rich had a chance to enter Prestige High, hence the director of school affairs decided to seek the principal’s decision instead.
Right about this time, the school was also trying to garner good feedback in order to secure a big investment. This gossip was detrimental to the school’s reputation, and it had antagonized the school’s board of directors as a result.
Likewise, the principal was incensed after reading the news. Sizing up Jiang Mianmian, he pointed at her and accused, “What a disgrace! How did you get into Prestige in the first place? How did we end up having a low-class ruffian like you here?!”
Cocking a brow, her pretty face was one of defiance and fearlessness. She replied with a half-smile, “Oh, this must be because my rich old-man has pushed me here.”
“What insolence!”
Her words only confirmed the principal’s suspicion of her being the daughter of a nouveau riche. WIthout hesitation, he set his decision. “You’re expelled! Get the paperwork completed ASAP and get lost. You’re not allowed to step into our school in the future.”
Some students suddenly barged into the principal’s office without warning. Zhan Qiyou was seen leading the gang as he spoke up for her. “Principal, this isn’t Jiang Mianmian’s fault. Besides, we are about to take our university entrance exam soon…”
