I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

"What do you mean by caring about Chiho's grades? Wasn't what you just showed off just hindering Chiho's studies?"

"Besides, you say I'm bossy? I'd rather scold you. You gave me a box of fruit and then started pointing fingers at the teacher."

"Your arrogance makes people doubt whether you are really Chiho's mother!" Asahi Aoi sneered at Kirishima Yoshiko, who was trembling with anger in front of her.

She continued, "You insisted on giving me a gift. Do you think the teacher owes you anything? Don't think that just because you gave me something, you can order others around and scold them without restraint."

"These things you sent are nothing!"

She spoke loudly, causing the surrounding classmates to gasp in surprise.

Some were timid and even slipped away from the side or behind.

Aoi Asahi said, "If you want Chiho to leave, you'd better get her out of the club first. Otherwise, Chiho is definitely not leaving today!"

"Once you join a club, you must take on the responsibilities of that club."

"If you don't understand the school's situation, go and figure it out first!"

Chapter 136: Choices That Cannot Be Refused

Kirishima Yoshiko was furious; she wanted nothing more than to slap the girl in front of her.

She angrily shouted, "Who do you think you are, pointing fingers at me like that?"

Aoi tilted her chin up and said, "I'm Chiho's friend."

Yoshiko Kirishima seemed to laugh in exasperation, saying, "I'm still Chiho's mother! Are you more important than me?"

“If it were applied to someone else, it might not matter,” Aoi said earnestly. “But if it’s applied to you, I feel that I am more important than you.”

“Because you are just a mother that Chiho couldn’t choose. Your mother-daughter relationship with her was not something Chiho chose,” Aoi Asahi said. “But my friendship with Chiho was something she actively chose.”

"Is it even necessary to compare the value of something you actively desire versus something you are forced to accept?"

She scoffed at Kirishima Yoshiko: "Are you trying to say something about mother and daughter? Is that relationship important to you? If you really considered her your daughter, you wouldn't treat her so harshly."

Kirishima Yoshiko blushed, but managed to maintain her composure: "Who do you think you are, talking to me like that!"

"You're an orphan, spouting nonsense while holding a scholarship? Can all your clothes compare to my necklace?"

She pointed at the sunflower and started yelling.

But Aoi Asahi said indifferently, "I am not without parents. My mother just ran away with another man. I don't mind this kind of thing. On the contrary, it is precisely because of this that I feel more free."

"Besides, all my clothes aren't worth as much as your necklace. Isn't that obvious? But even so, what can you do about it?"

"You think you can intimidate me with your expensive clothes?" Aoi scoffed. "It's no use. I don't care at all. The only people who can be intimidated by your expensive clothes are those who actually admire them."

Kirishima Yoshiko was speechless. After a moment of stunned silence, she said loudly, "What do you know, you're just a student? You can still be so arrogant as to say these things to me now. Wait until you graduate and go to school."

"What do you know?"

She said angrily, "You haven't tried standing in an elevator all day pressing buttons for other people, and you haven't experienced that no matter how hard you work, your salary will always remain the same."

"You haven't experienced it either. No matter how hard you work, your salary is about the same as someone who doesn't work."

"You have no idea what it feels like to go to work every day, no matter how much you hate it. It's like putting yourself in a cage and then smiling as you stab yourself a few times."

"You still have the energy to talk to me about this or that."

"You'll understand everything once you leave school."

“You look down on my jewelry now, but once you leave school, a single banknote can make you lose your self-respect and what you are so proud of now.”

"By then, you'll understand the value of money."

As Kirishima Yoshiko said this, she also shouted sharply, "Chiho, let's go."

But Aoi still wouldn't let go. She said, "Then let's wait until later, let's wait until later to regret it. If I worry about the future now, if I act like an adult, then what's the difference between now and the future?"

She refuted Kirishima Yoshiko's words and grabbed Chiho, preventing her from leaving.

"Whose opinion are you listening to, Chiho!" Kirishima Yoshiko shouted, feeling that she had been arguing with this high school girl for too long and was too embarrassing.

As an adult, I couldn't even speak to a high school girl, and I was actually stopped by a high school girl.

This is so embarrassing!

She questioned Kirishima Chiho, demanding that she make a decision right here and now.

Or rather, let Chiho make the decision she wants to hear.

In the past, Chiho would probably have listened to her mother.

To be honest, even now she is prepared to listen to her mother, but she still has some hesitation in her heart.

"Because Mom has already gotten angry several times here. If she's already gotten angry and we still haven't achieved our goal, that would be too embarrassing, and Mom would definitely break down."

But then she looked at the sunflower that was pulling at her.

"If I really make this choice, what about Aoi Asahi?"

"She argued with her mother for my sake. If I reject her, what will the other classmates think of her?"

"I've actually found myself in a dilemma."

She had a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to smile.

But she found that she couldn't smile at all; her eyes were somewhat lifeless, and her cheeks were as delicate as a fired doll.

It also has no expression, just like a doll.

She was at a loss, yet unable to show it.

She looked out the window at Xia Wuzhao, who was leaning against the railing.

Xia Wuzhao appeared nonchalant and somewhat indifferent.

"How cruel!"

Chiho thought to herself that Natsuki Kai had used Asahi Aoi to force her to make a choice today.

"How cruel!"

She murmured to herself, but in the end, she made up her mind.

She raised her head, her crimson hair swaying slightly.

Her crimson eyes were full of gentleness as she said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I'm very busy with club activities lately. I can't leave right now. I'll leave the club when things calm down."

"I've already refused my mother once, last time in the literature club, and this time in the classroom. Last time only Xia Wuzhao saw it, but this time so many people saw it."

Chiho bit her lip, feeling ashamed.

Kirishima Yoshiko looked at her daughter, so angry her nose almost crooked.

She felt utterly humiliated!

Enraged, he was about to slap his daughter hard across the face at any moment.

But just as she was about to do so, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and she felt her courage vanish in an instant.

Like summer snow, it vanished without a trace.

Yoshiko Kirishima glanced at the students who were secretly watching, and smiled, "I see."

She seemed somewhat unhappy and annoyed as she said, "If you had told your mother about this earlier, she wouldn't have had to argue with your friend."

"Since your club is so important, then let's keep it at school."

"Oh dear, look what's happened. Mom just cares about you too much and is too worried about you."

She was a little unhappy, and kept saying, "If that's the reason, you should have told Mom sooner."

"Come on, let's share this fruit with the students."

She said this with great enthusiasm.

It left those students struggling to cope.

Xia Wuzhao only glanced at it before leaving and heading towards the Literature Club.

Chapter 137 The Dolls on Both Sides of the Balance

After her mother left, Chiho shared the fruit with her classmates, who all expressed their gratitude.

Chiho simply smiled gently, like an angel.

The classmates who received the fruit all breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were fruit given by her mother, they really wouldn't dare accept it.

They all felt that their previous envy was too shallow; having a mother like that was worse than death.

They all wanted to say something, but this was Chiho's mother.

There is absolutely no reason for us to criticize them.

Unless Chiho complains herself, only then can the rest of us say anything.

Chiho simply smiled, which left the other girls speechless.

After the girls left, Chiho said to Asahi Aoi beside her, "Asahi, thank you."

"No need to thank me." Aoi Asahi said to Chiho, "Actually, I don't like you. Chiho, if it weren't for certain things, we might not even be able to be friends."

"Is that so?" Kirishima Chiho ran her fingers along her long, scarlet hair. "If that's really the case, then why don't we just not be friends?"

“To rush away after something happens is running away,” Aoi said seriously. “I hate running away, and I would never run away.”

"Ah, I see." Kirishima Chiho said, looking at Asahi Aoi. "So that's how it is."

She seemed to be implying something deeper, but Aoi Asahi didn't think about it.

Asahi simply said, "If you don't have anything else, then I'll be leaving. There's a lot of work to do at the library today."

"Aren't you going to the Literature Club?" Kirishima Chiho smiled at Asahi Aoi and said, "You were just saying you were a member of the Literature Club."

“That was just a lie I told to convince your mother, it’s nothing,” Aoi said briskly, turning to leave.

Chiho looked at her and smiled, saying, "Is it because of Natsugiri Kai? Is it because you don't want to see Natsugiri Kai that you refused to join the Literature Club?"

She asked that question.

Aoi stopped, turned to look at Chiho, and said in a serious tone, "I have absolutely no relationship with Natsugiri Kai."

"Rather than calling him a stranger, I would say I really dislike Xia Wuzhao. He's your lover, yet he's completely indifferent."

"I hate this kind of person, I hate this kind of person who does nothing."

After saying that, Aoi Asahi left the classroom and headed towards the library.

“My mother will be watching you,” Kirishima Chiho whispered to Asahi Aoi. “If you don’t go to the literature club, she will, and she’ll tell the teachers.”

Aoi Asahi stopped and looked at Chiho Kirishima.

Her dark hair swayed in the wind, and she frowned: "Is that how it is?"

It seems that what Chiho's mother did was even more outrageous than what Keiko did.

But when she thought of Keiko, she found it all laughable.

She is the one who hurt me the most, yet she is the one I remember most vividly.

That's ridiculous.

She said, "If that's the case, then go to the Faculty of Letters."

Aoi Asahi said, "However, I still don't know exactly how to get to the Faculty of Letters."

Chiho looked at Aoi and said, "You really don't know? Or do you not want to go?"

She said this on purpose, making Aoi Asahi frown.

Aoi pursed her lips and said, "You're really strange, Chiho. You always say I like your boyfriend, but do you really like it when your boyfriend has relationships with other girls?"

After hearing this, Chiho remained silent for a moment.

After a long pause, she finally asked, "Are we really lovers?"

"If they're not lovers, then what are they?"

Asahi Aoi said this.

However, Chiho did not answer the question, but only said, "You haven't been in a relationship yet, so even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."

Aoi paused for a moment, then ignored Chiho and continued walking straight ahead.
