Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2057: Chapter 2057: Longing to Return (24)

The next day, Chuzheng went to meet with Qin Qiao as planned and didn’t contact anyone all day.

Chi Gui opened the chat window several times but silently closed it again.

Afterward, Chi Gui thought back and felt something was off. When did she look at my phone? Why would she look at my phone?

After thinking it over, he quietly asked himself if he was angry.

It seemed not...

Chi Gui found that he couldn’t get angry in front of her at all.

"Brother Chi, what are you doing? You look so restless, did you get hemorrhoids?" You Zixi took a moment from his game to check on his buddy.

Chi Gui grabbed a nearby book and threw it over.

You Zixi quickly dodged, but his game ended in defeat.

"Brother Chi!! I was about to win!" You Zixi shouted.

Chi Gui stared at You Zixi, "Do you have someone you like?"

"No, not at all." You Zixi tapped his phone, thought for a moment, and then looked up suspiciously, "Why is Brother Chi suddenly interested in my love life?"

"I... might have someone."

You Zixi smiled, "So you’re bragging to me?"

"...Aren’t you going to ask who it is?"

"Who else could it be but our classmate Hang?" You Zixi wasn’t surprised at all, "Since the first time you guys met, I thought something was up!"

Chi Gui: "..."

You Zixi rolled his eyes and moved closer to Chi Gui, ready to gossip, "So, are you two together?"

"No."

"Tsk, Brother Chi, you’re slacking."

Chi Gui was tangled up, finally forcing out three words, "You don’t understand."

Previously, he had told her he wasn’t planning on dating, and definitely wouldn’t date her.

How long has it been, and now he’s about to eat his words?

Doesn’t he care about his face?

After the holiday, as soon as they returned, it was time to announce the midterm results.

Chuzheng’s rank was among the top twenty, which many found strange.

What’s going on?

She had been working hard these days, spending a lot of time reading, but by their observation, her reading speed was more like flipping through pages, wasn’t it?

How did she suddenly break into the top twenty?

Her personality changed, and even her grades suddenly improved...

Maybe she’s been possessed?

This was just a joke among everyone; no one would actually believe it.

However, soon rumors spread that she had cheated.

Last time in the midterm, Chuzheng ranked outside the top few hundred, and suddenly breaking into the top twenty was indeed suspicious.

As the rumors spread, Chuzheng inevitably had to be questioned.

Chuzheng was confident that she took the exam herself and faced the teachers without any fear.

She was aiming to be the next Scholar God!

Why would such a small scene scare her?

The news of Chuzheng being called to the office quickly spread.

The happiest of all was Jiang Jing.

She didn’t believe Chuzheng could really do so well in the exams; her usual grades were well-known in their class, if not in others.

How could she improve her scores so much in such a short time?

Next was Bei Xiaoxiao.

With the leverage Chuzheng had over Bei Xiaoxiao, she didn’t dare to confront Chuzheng directly, but that didn’t mean she was going to let it go just like that.

"Xiaoxiao, do you think if she really cheated, the school would expel her?"

Bei Xiaoxiao: "Even if they don’t expel her, she’ll get a record of it. With a few more, I doubt she won’t be expelled."

Bei Xiaoxiao looked around, "Is everything ready?"

"Relax, Xiaoxiao, it’s all set."

"No one noticed, right?"

"No, I was very careful."

"That’s good then."

Bei Xiaoxiao waited for good news from that side, but unfortunately, things didn’t go as she expected.

The teachers only called Chuzheng into the office and soon let her go without any issues.

"What’s going on?"

How did she come out with nothing? Isn’t the school investigating?

"I... don’t know." Her follower was confused, "We can’t control what the teachers do..."

With the teachers not pursuing it, no matter what they did, it was useless.

-

Chuzheng returned to the classroom and sent a message to someone with the name "Mo Qi ’Big Brother Poor’."

[Chuzheng: Want to fight?]

A message quickly came back from that end.

[Mo Qi ’Big Brother Poor’: No, no, no, sister, I don’t fight anymore, I’ve turned over a new leaf and am focusing on my studies!]

[Chuzheng: Playing on your phone during class is studying?]

[Mo Qi ’Big Brother Poor’: ...]

Aren’t you playing too?!

[Mo Qi ’Big Brother Poor’: Sister, I really haven’t bothered Chi Gui lately.]

[Chuzheng: Help me hit someone.]

[Mo Qi ’Big Brother Poor’: You should’ve said that earlier.]

[Mo Qi ’Big Brother Poor’: Who do you want me to hit, sister? Just tell me, and I’ll make sure it’s done perfectly.]

[Chuzheng: Bei Xiaoxiao.]

[Mo Qi ’Big Brother Poor’: ...]

That woman, Bei Xiaoxiao...

[Mo Qi ’Big Brother Poor’: Sister, can I choose someone else?]

[Chuzheng: Choose between Bei Xiaoxiao, or you.]

[Mo Qi ’Big Brother Poor’: ...]

Mo Qi ’Big Brother Poor’ chose Bei Xiaoxiao.

Chuzheng gave him instructions and told him to contact her after completing the task.

After school, Chuzheng hurriedly left with her bag. Chi Gui wanted to greet her, but seeing her in a hurry, he could only stand there, watching her disappear around the corner of the teaching building.

-

In the school’s equipment room.

A few guys led by Mo Qiong had blocked Bei Xiaoxiao inside— or more precisely, pinned her down inside.

"Mo Qiong, are you crazy!" Bei Xiaoxiao yelled in anger, "What exactly do you want? I’m telling you, no matter what you do, I won’t like you. Let me go, damn it!"

Mo Qiong: "..."

Mo Qiong, out of kindness for having once pursued Bei Xiaoxiao, kindly reminded her, "Have you offended Hang Chuzheng?"

Hang Chuzheng...

Bei Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened slightly, then she mocked, "What, you’ve fallen for her? Are you standing up for her?"

Mo Qiong: "..."

Fall for that woman?

He must be crazy!

Although... she is quite pretty, Mo Qiong felt he couldn’t handle that.

Mo Qiong left with three words, "Just wait."

"Mo Qiong!"

"Let me go, damn it!"

Bei Xiaoxiao’s cursing was useless; later, Mo Qiong was afraid she’d yell too loudly and attract attention, so he simply had someone gag her.

About half an hour later, Chuzheng opened the door to the equipment room and entered.

Mo Qiong rushed to greet her like a lackey, "Sister, she’s over there." He pointed behind him as he spoke.

Chuzheng glanced in the direction Mo Qiong pointed.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

Upon seeing Chuzheng enter, Bei Xiaoxiao became so agitated she tried to scream something.

With her hands in her pockets, Chuzheng walked up to Bei Xiaoxiao, "Did you spread the rumor about me cheating?"

"Mmm mmm mmm!!"

Chuzheng tore off the sealing tape.

"Hang Chuzheng, really? Can you even control idiots like Mo Qiong? Damn..."

Chuzheng cut her off, "I’m asking you, did you spread the rumor about me cheating?"

Bei Xiaoxiao spat and provocatively said, "Do you have any proof?"

Chuzheng took out her phone from her pocket and played a recording.

A girl’s sharp and terrified voice came from the speaker, "It was Bei Xiaoxiao who ordered it!! It was all her, we all listened to her!"

Bei Xiaoxiao’s provocative expression froze on her face.

How could she not recognize whose voice that was...
