I Just Want to Freeload on Your Luck
Chapter 53
The matter that had been tormenting everyone for a few days finally came to an end that night.
Although the Zhao Family had publicly refuted the rumors and pushed Zhang Yufen, the nanny, out of the picture, the Zhao Family still suffered a great loss.
Even Zhao Zhanhuai's company lost a lot of customers.
Therefore, while Father Zhao and Zhao Zhanhuai were mentally and physically exhausted, they still had to pull themselves together to clean up this mess.
Zhao Mo's situation wasn't any better. More and more information about his family was dug out, and people began to ridicule him by saying, "I didn't expect him to be so good-looking, but to treat his sister so badly." His agent was in a terrible state of public relations.
Mother Zhao stayed at home in a daze, and her mental state was visibly worse than before.
On the surface, the Zhao Family still seemed to be able to maintain their composure, but in fact, they were already shattered.
And the news had spread throughout the school.
The recent rumors and slanders finally came to light. It turned out that what the post said was true.
Zhao Yuan wasn't the real daughter of the Zhao Family. Zhao Yuan's mother was the murderer who swapped the two children!
It was conceivable that once this news was confirmed, it would cause a huge uproar in the school.
Previously, no one dared to speak carelessly, fearing that the rumors would have a negative impact on Zhao Yuan.
But now, everyone only felt that their feelings were complicated. Zhao Yuan, who had been their classmate for three years, had actually obtained her high status as the daughter of a wealthy family — all of her good education, branded bags, and identity had been stolen?
Even her life was stolen?!
In this case, it was hard for everyone not to look at Zhao Yuan with prejudice.
The discussion in the school finally couldn't be stopped and got out of hand.
However, after Zhao Yuan was kicked out of the Zhao Family, she didn't come to school. She didn't know whether it was out of fear or something else, but she directly asked for half a month's sick leave from the school.
Therefore, these discussions didn't reach her ears for the time being.
But they all fell into the ears of Pu Shuang and the others who used to be good friends with her.
Everyone kicks a man who is down.
Now Pu Shuang and several other followers of Zhao Yuan were also in a difficult situation.
In the past, they had always mocked Zhao Mingxi's poor grades in class and hinted that Zhao Mingxi might be an illegitimate daughter. Now, their faces were slapped swollen.
In the past, not everyone in the ChangqingClass defended Zhao Yuan, and even more so now.
Just in the ChangqingClass alone, there were already people who couldn't stand the behavior of Pu Shuang and the others in the past. They accused them of "not knowing anything and still talking nonsense. All of them are Zhao Yuan's accomplices." "Fortunately, Zhao Mingxi was not suppressed by their malicious remarks."
Pu Shuang's face was burning, but she couldn't refute. After all, the news of her throwing Zhao Mingxi's bag at the training camp had spread throughout the class.
Now, she seemed to have become a sinner.
Pu Shuang couldn't wait for Zhao Yuan to come to school earlier to share the pressure on her. Because of this, Pu Shuang's disgust for Zhao Yuan deepened.
Zhao Yuan simply didn't come to school because she was afraid of the eyes of the people in school. But she never thought that those eyes would all fall on her!
She regretted that she used to treat Zhao Yuan as her best friend and stood up for her regardless of the consequences.
She regretted that she found out too late. Zhao Yuan wasn't worth it at all.
Pu Shuang heard about Zhao Mingxi's matter. In fact, she felt a little guilty in her heart.
She was suffering.
She could imagine how Zhao Mingxi felt when she was recognized by her family after 15 years and saw that there was already another "her" in the family.
Not only that, she and E Xiaoxia secretly speculated that she was an illegitimate daughter and ridiculed her.
The idea of apologizing to Zhao Mingxi actually turned in Pu Shuang's mind a hundred times.
Several times, she had the impulse to rush upstairs to the International Class and frankly apologize to Zhao Mingxi for what she had done in the past.
However, it was easy for people to make mistakes, but it wasn't so easy to bravely make up for it. She didn't dare to imagine how many people would look at her when she rushed to the International Class and apologized. How many people would want to drill into a hole in the ground.
Pu Shuang didn't have the courage, so she could only continue to suffer.
At noon, she went out of school alone and found the same bag as Zhao Mingxi's bag that she had thrown into the trash can.
She bought it, but she didn't dare to let the people in class see it, so she wrapped it in a black plastic bag and covered it tightly before bringing it back to school.

On Mingxi's side.
Dong Hui was so angry that her breasts almost grew. However, Zhang Yufen was detained and waiting to be arraigned. This was a relatively good result. Dong Hui couldn't do anything about it.
Dong Hui called Mingxi over for a meal. According to the custom in her hometown, letting Mingxi cross a brazier meant "getting rid of the bad luck brought by that family."
Compared with Dong Hui and many people who were indignant on her behalf, Mingxi didn't have such a big wave in her heart. Her feelings were indescribable, but she wasn't that angry.
