Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 206 At that age, the first person with a sharp tongue
This was the first time Shen Qingqing and Wu Fangyi had ever heard of such a feud and grudge.

After sorting things out, Shen Qingqing finally remembered where that slight sense of unease she felt when she saw them confronting each other on the balcony came from.

It turns out they weren't strangers; they had known each other for a long time, and they even met because of such an unpleasant incident.

Fang Airu sneered: "If it weren't for Chen Siping's shamelessness, I would still be doing well with my boyfriend!"

"You!" Yao Run was so angry at Fang Airu's constant insults that he almost couldn't help but hit her again.

Fortunately, Wu Fangyi reacted quickly and pressed her down.

Seeing Yao Run so angry, Chen Siping couldn't help but speak up: "I don't even know what kind of person your boyfriend is. What you treat like a treasure is just trash to me!"

"Who do you think you are? Why would I care how many boyfriends you have, or waste my time trying to get them all to break up with you? If I had that kind of energy, I'd rather do more practice problems and try to get into the top class!"

This was the first time Shen Qingqing had ever heard Chen Siping speak to someone with such courage. The shock she felt was no less than when she first entered the dormitory and saw the four of them fighting.

"You!" Fang Airu couldn't hold back any longer, pushed Shen Qingqing away and hit her.

Yao Run had been watching her closely, and promptly stopped her.

When the war broke out again, Shen Qingqing and Wu Fangyi wisely retreated.

It seems like he has too much energy. Let's fight first, and then we can talk properly when he's tired.

Shen Qingqing and Wu Fangyi put down their backpacks, each took a small notebook and started memorizing vocabulary words, which were for the next semester.

Yes, that's right. These two students have already progressed to the fourth unit of the next semester.

Currently, relying on the teaching videos on the Teachers' Corner website and the open class videos of some excellent teachers, Shen Qingqing and Wu Fangyi can basically say that they have had a smooth journey.

In particular, Shen Qingqing did her best in her first year of high school in her previous life, although she struggled a bit with physics. She struggled in her previous life, and she still struggles in this life, but not as much as in her previous life, because she did not fall behind in some basic knowledge points of light, mechanics and heat in junior high school, so she was still able to build up her knowledge system in the first year of high school.

Half an hour later, Shen Qingqing finished memorizing the vocabulary for one unit, and the two sides finally stopped fighting.

The people on both sides looked more than twice as disheveled as before.

Fortunately, no one was injured, because it was winter and everyone was wearing thick clothes.

Shen Qingqing put down her notebook, turned her chair around to look at them, and asked calmly, "Are you tired?"

Both Fang Airu's two people and Yao Run's two people were panting and didn't say a word.

"It's okay if you're tired. Sit down and tell me what kind of trouble these boyfriends have been causing between you two," Shen Qingqing said.

Fang Airu shot her a dagger: "What do you mean? Don't think I won't touch you just because you're the top student in the grade!"

Shen Qingqing shrugged noncommittally and raised her hand to gesture at the people on either side of her. "Isn't it obvious? Troublemakers."

It wasn't that Shen Qingqing really wanted to curse, but their fight in the dormitory had seriously affected her and Wu Fangyi.

"You—" Fang Airu still wanted to rush over and attack Shen Qingqing.

As a result, not only Wu Fangyi, but also Yao Run and Chen Siping stopped them.

Fang Airu's expression turned grim; there were only two of them, but now there were four opposite them.

Shen Qingqing sat still, propped her chin up, and sighed: "Didn't I say? If you're tired of fighting, sit down and have a good talk. Fighting in all these clothes, even if you're not tired, I'm tired just watching. It's not summer."

Fang Airu finally sat down reluctantly.

“Come on, tell me about this ex-boyfriend number one. How did he break up with you because of Siping?” Shen Qingqing rested her chin on her hands, her eyes shining as she looked at Fang Airu.

He looked exactly like someone saying, "Tell me the gossip!"

Fang Airu almost choked again, taking a couple of deep breaths before slowly saying, "That happened when I was in the second year of junior high. That jiao, that ex-boyfriend, was in the class next to ours, the same class as Chen Siping, and one of the top ten boys in our grade..."

As she spoke, Chen Siping also tried to recall who these people were.

After listening to Fang Airu's ten-minute story about how the three boys abandoned her for Chen Siping, I felt that at least five minutes of it was embellished by Fang Airu, who imagined how Chen Siping seduced her boyfriends and broke up with her.

Finally, Shen Qingqing disregarded Fang Airu's assumptions and went straight to the point: "So, in other words, all three of the guys who said they wanted to break up with you because of Chen Siping did so after they had been talking to Chen Siping for two days?"

Fang Airu nodded, "Yes!"

"So here's the question: Does Chen Siping look like the type to initiate conversations with others?" Shen Qingqing pointed at Chen Siping.

"Hmph!" Fang Airu sneered, "How can it not be? She acts like this in front of you, but who knows, she might act completely different in front of men!"

The more Chen Siping recalled, the more guilty she seemed, pursing her lips and glancing at Yao Run beside her from time to time.

Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "Siping, what do you say?"

Chen Siping lost her earlier brave demeanor and reverted to her soft, weak, and inconspicuous state, whispering, "Those times all seemed to be when Yao Run and I were arguing..."

Yao Run was taken aback when he heard Chen Siping say that. "What do you mean?"

“When Yao Run and I were arguing, I didn’t want to talk to her, so during that time I would answer anyone who came to talk to me.” Chen Siping scratched her cheek shyly. “When Yao Run and I weren’t arguing, if someone came to talk to me, Yao Run would answer for me.”

"When others saw that it was Yao Run who answered, they would chat with me for a couple of minutes and then never come back to me."

"Because Yao Run looked very intimidating at that time; she was the school bully."

Shen Qingqing concluded, "So, those guys chatted with you when you were arguing with Yao Run, and you answered them, so they assumed you were interested in them, which led them to dump Fang Airu?"

Chen Siping rolled her eyes and thought for a while, "If I'm not narcissistic, then it should be like this."

Shen Qingqing then turned to Fang Airu: "Airu, what do you think? What did your ex-boyfriends say when they broke up with you? Did they just say that Chen Siping was willing to be their girlfriend, so they didn't want to be with you anymore?"

Fang Airu's expression froze. "Well, that's not exactly how it is..."

"They just said that I'm not the type of girlfriend they want, and now that I've found a more ideal type of girlfriend, they think we're not a good match."

"Then I inquired and found out that they all broke up with me after chatting with her."

Shen Qingqing then posed the crucial question: "After they broke up with you, did they all end up with Siping?" "Of course not!" Yao Run and Chen Siping replied in unison.

Fang Airu's expression stiffened even more, and she hesitated for a long while before saying, "...No."

"Hmm—" Shen Qingqing stopped talking and just kept looking at Fang Airu after uttering a long, drawn-out single syllable.

Fang Airu fell silent, but Li Zile, who had been standing beside her, was unhappy and put his arm around her: "Don't you understand what 'being in a compromising situation' means?"

“That makes sense,” Shen Qingqing suddenly agreed. “In that case, how about we go with you to find your ex-boyfriend whom you just broke up with on New Year’s Day and talk things out?”

Fang Airu was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Find out exactly what his ideal type is. Anyway, you'll see him all the time at this school. It's been three years. If you happen to meet his new girlfriend someday, just ask him if his ideal type has changed."

"After all, you two are my roommates. I'm very unhappy that you two are arguing and disturbing me. But I don't want to get angry at you and affect our roommate relationship. However, I can't hold back my anger, otherwise I don't know where I'll vent it. Now, isn't it perfect that I have a ready-made target?"

At that moment, apart from Wu Fangyi, the remaining Fang Airu, Li Zile, Yao Run, and Chen Siping all recalled the story of the "six unwavering predictions" made at the beginning of the semester...

Shen Qingqing put down her small notebook and stood up. "Let's go, Airu, lead the way."

Fang Airu swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably timid at this moment, for some reason.

"Oh, I forgot to give you time to tidy up. Your hair is all messed up from the fight. You can take ten minutes to clean up, and I'll wait for you." Shen Qingqing smiled slightly.

Yao Run and Chen Siping were also taken aback for a moment, then pointed to themselves and asked, "Do we want some too?"

Shen Qingqing was surprised: "Of course, Yao Run was implicated because of Siping, and Siping was even more wronged and has been resented since junior high school. Can you swallow this anger?"

The final, raised tone of his rhetorical question made all four of them feel ashamed.

When Shen Qingqing and the other five girls from her dorm blocked the boy's way, the boy was still completely bewildered.

Seeing that Chen Siping and Fang Airu were both there, he glanced at them a few times and then asked, "Is there something you need?"

That one sentence set off Shen Qingqing's powder keg.

Next, everyone present saw and heard how Shen Qingqing managed to make the boy blush and have to apologize to the two girls.

Shen Qingqing could tell that the boy didn't think he had done anything wrong at all. He was only apologizing because there were more of them and Wu Fangyi was a better fighter than him.

But whether he was sincere or not didn't matter; Shen Qingqing was furious.

Shen Qingqing feels good whenever she sees someone like that and she doesn't like them.

How did this matter finally end?

A passing teacher saw it, and all those involved were taken to the office. After understanding the whole story, Fang Airu and the boy had their parents called in as the end of the matter.

As for Shen Qingqing, who was the main contributor, the teacher originally wanted to punish her by making her give a self-criticism on stage during the flag-raising ceremony next Monday. However, considering her eloquence, the teacher quietly changed her mind and decided to let Shen Qingqing submit a self-criticism with no word limit.

From then on, Shen Qingqing became famous not only in the first year of high school, but throughout the entire school.

Every teacher and student at Jinzhong High School knows that the top student in the first year of high school has a sharp tongue and a heart of a man-eating flower.

He is the foremost expert in language, a force to be reckoned with.

Similarly, because of Shen Qingqing, Fang Airu and Li Zile were unable to find any boyfriends for the next two years.

Every boy fears that he will end up like the one who gets his parents called and ends up transferring schools in disgrace.

Without their partners, Fang Airu and Li Zile worked hard for the next two and a half years, which helped them climb the ranks of the top classes several times. When they were divided into classes in their second year of high school, they managed to get into the top class of the humanities stream, even though they were at the bottom of the class.

Of course, these are all for later.

On her way back to her dormitory from the teachers' office, Fang Airu stopped walking and squatted down, unable to hold back her tears.

Li Zile was also startled by her sudden movement, and without thinking, he squatted down and hugged her, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Fang Airu didn't speak, she just kept crying.

Shen Qingqing ignored it and leaned on Wu Fangyi's shoulder to recite ancient poems from Chinese class. When she got stuck, she even asked Wu Fangyi for a hint.

Unable to get an answer from Fang Airu, and hearing Shen Qingqing's arrogant attitude, Li Zile blurted out, "Airu is crying like this, and you're still pretending to be a good student? If you hadn't insisted on causing trouble, would Airu have had her parents called in?"

Shen Qingqing looked at her in surprise and chuckled, "You seem to have misunderstood something, haven't you? I meant I didn't want to get angry at you, but I don't think I said I would protect you, did I?"

"You guys are the ones who ruined my mood and destroyed the unity of the dormitory, right? And you're being punished for some useless things, isn't that what you deserve?"

Li Zile opened his mouth, but had no words to refute it.

"I'm sorry, Zile was just too worried about me. I'm sorry, I apologize, and this won't happen again." Fang Airu held Li Zile's hand and took the initiative to look up and apologize to Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing paused for a moment, then nodded, looking at her red and swollen eyes from crying. "Okay, I forgive you."

"I've gotten angry, and I'm a little hungry. The cafeteria should have some late-night snacks. How about I treat you guys to a meal to celebrate our dorm breaking the ice?"

When Shen Qingqing said this, the others realized that their dormitory had indeed never eaten together as a group since the start of the semester.

Fang Airu sniffed. "Let me invite her. It's also my way of apologizing to Siping for misunderstanding her for so long."

Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Siping: "Siping, what do you say?"

Chen Siping reverted to her usual indecisive and unnoticed demeanor.

Yao Run spoke up for her: "She wants to come and invite us."

Shen Qingqing laughed and said simply, "Then we'll each buy our own and eat together."

This suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone!

See you tomorrow night~
