Chapter 46: The Whole Family at School p3
Zhou Wanfeng had lead bags on her ankles and was running laps around the playground. She would not miss this opportunity to exercise. She ran alone. Many people watched as Zhou Wanfeng ran lap after lap, their eyes filled with admiration.
After running five laps, she started to stretch and walk for the last half lap. Seeing that there was still time, she went back to the classroom to do her math test paper. This test paper was from Jiang Yi. He had been recruited by the school’s math competition teacher as soon as he had enrolled. The test papers made by the competition group were all super difficult. Zhou Wanfeng would try to do them herself. Sometimes, Jiang Chen would join in. When the two of them really couldn’t do it, they would ask Jiang Yi together at lunch.
Jiang Yi knew his own strengths very well and had also been brainwashed by the competition teacher. He was aiming for the national competition and to get a special admission spot at a famous university.
A few of the boys were playing basketball, and a few girls were sitting next to them, watching. After sitting in the classroom all day, they occasionally needed to get some fresh air.
Zhou Wanfeng was so engrossed in her math test paper that later, Jiang Chen directly pulled over a chair and sat down. The two of them looked at the problem together, each doing it in their own way.
Wu Junfeng saw this and also came over to take a look, and also studied it at his own seat.
The problem was not simple at a glance. There were traps and it was misleading. The bell for the end of class rang, but the few of them were still doing the problem.
Jiang Chen’s head was aching. He threw his notebook and pen on his seat. “Let’s go, Zhou Wanfeng. It’s time for lunch. We’ll ask Jiang Yi to explain it to us when we see him,” Jiang Chen had been convinced since he was a child. Jiang Yi’s brain was just sensitive to numbers.
The three of them walked, but their minds were still on the math problem.
Yun Jingya and Wang Feili saw Zhou Wanfeng come in and immediately waved and called out to her. Lu Qing and Jiang Yi were also there.
Jiang Chen and Zhou Wanfeng were in line to get their food. At this time, the line was the longest. There were at least ten people in line at each window. It was so noisy that you had to get close to talk, or you had to shout.
The whole cafeteria was buzzing with conversation.
“Zhou Wanfeng, I think my line of thought for that problem just now was right,” Jiang Chen, as the math class representative of First Year, Class Three, and with his math grades in the top three in the class, had the right to speak. While Jiang Yi hadn’t given the answer yet, he still wanted to try.
The two of them leaned closer to talk. Zhou Wanfeng shook her head. “No. This problem is beyond the syllabus. You can’t solve it with your current knowledge.”
As they were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of a fight, and the sharp and piercing sound of a table leg scraping against the floor. It was a sound that could pierce the eardrums.
Jiang Chen looked back, wanting to say what had happened. Before he could see clearly, Zhou Wanfeng, who was in front of him, had rushed out. She was so fast that Jiang Chen was stunned for a second before he followed.
“Zhou Wanfeng, why are you running? What’s wrong?” Jiang Chen didn’t care about the line and subconsciously ran over. Even Wu Junfeng behind the two of them followed.
Lu Qing fell to the ground, his eyes tightly closed, his eyelashes trembling. He was thinking that he would have to be hit on the head and body. He was gritting his teeth and preparing to endure it when he heard two thuds and the gasps of the cafeteria.
He couldn’t help but cautiously open his eyes. He looked up and saw Zhou Wanfeng, who had retracted her leg and was standing straight. She turned and looked down, her brow furrowed, her chin small and sharp, her nose bridge very straight, which made her eyes look very deep and her eyelashes very long.
“What happened?”
Lu Qing felt a little strange. It was as if he were seeing Zhou Wanfeng’s face clearly for the first time. He avoided Zhou Wanfeng’s gaze and stood up, pretending to dust off his clothes. “This bastard has a foul mouth. He was cursing.”
Wang Feili was protecting Yun Jingya. She pointed at Zhang Sheng and Liu Jinchen, who had been kicked to the ground, and said angrily, “They wanted to sit down. We said there were people, and then they all went crazy and smashed their trays on the table, and then… they sat down and started to curse.”
Zhou Wanfeng glanced at the table, then at Liu Jinchen and the others, and finally her gaze fell on Lu Qing.
“I was the one who hit them with my tray first. Who told them to have such a dirty mouth?” Lu Qing didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong. He had hit three of them, and he had aimed well.
But the three of them had pushed and shoved. Jiang Yi was useless and couldn’t even stop one of them. Two of them had pushed him, and he had been pinned down.
Yun Jingya’s eyes were red, and tears were welling up in them.
Liu Jinchen and Zhang Sheng stood up. When they saw Zhou Wanfeng, their eyes were a little scared. When she had charged over, the two of them hadn’t reacted, and she had kicked them.
But the two of them were fearless. They stood up and looked at the scrutinizing gazes around them, then looked at Yun Jingya behind them with hatred in their eyes. They pointed at her and shouted to the surrounding classmates, “Yun Jingya from First Year, Class Three! Her mom is a fcking whore! She hinted that she wanted a gift just because I was a little interested in her! You all think her family is rich, but you’ve all been deceived! She told me herself that her mom is a mistress to a rich old man, a concubine! She’s so fcking cheap!”
“The nice clothes she wears, her mom got them by sleeping with an old man! She’s so full of herself all day, so vain and money-grubbing! It’s so f*cking disgusting…”
The foul language, some of the words were unbelievable coming from the mouth of a sixteen-year-old student.
Yun Jingya was trembling with anger. Hearing her family being insulted, she glared at him and roared, “Shut up! Don’t you dare insult my mother! Liu Jinchen, you’re so disgusting! You wanted to be friends with me, and I didn’t want to, so you get your revenge like this? You’re so disgusting, so petty, so malicious, and you’re spreading rumors! You…”
“What rumors? You were f*cking born of a whore! Your mom is even cheaper, sleeping with an old man for money! You… you don’t even know your own father! Your mom…wuwuwu,” Liu Jinchen was cursing happily and was about to continue, but his neck was grabbed.
Zhou Wanfeng was holding Liu Jinchen’s neck tightly. No one had seen how she had done it. It had just happened in a flash.
Zhang Sheng was so scared that he backed away.
Zhou Wanfeng shot a dark glance at Zhang Sheng, her gaze finally landing on Liu Jinchen’s face.
Liu Jinchen was taller than Zhou Wanfeng, but Zhou Wanfeng was holding his neck, his weakness. “Ugh, ugh, ugh,” he was having trouble breathing.
Zhou Wanfeng raised her leg and kicked him twice in the back of the knee. Liu Jinchen cried out in pain and fell to his knees with a thud.
She grabbed his neck and raised his chin. Zhou Wanfeng raised her hand high and slapped him.
Her movements were unhurried. She raised her hand again and slapped him.
Liu Jinchen’s face was red from the slapping, his eyes bulging with a ferocious look. But he was being held down, his knees pinned to the ground in pain. He tried to pry her hand away with both his hands, but he found that her hand was like a pair of pliers and he couldn’t break free. He looked at Zhou Wanfeng with red eyes and whimpered, “I was cursing the one with the surname Yun! Cough, cough, cough. What does it have to do with you?”
Zhou Wanfeng’s expression was blank. She tilted her head, her gaze very cold. She raised her hand again. Liu Jinchen subconsciously closed his eyes tightly.
Her hand stopped in mid-air. She scanned the onlookers, and finally her gaze fell on Yun Jingya. She saw her tears falling, and she was trembling with anger.
Wang Feili next to her was holding her and comforting her.
Suddenly, Zhou Wanfeng’s hand changed direction and pointed at the terrified Zhang Sheng. A powerful presence emanated from her.
“You tell me, is what Liu Jinchen said true?”
Zhang Sheng swallowed. He looked at Liu Jinchen, who was kneeling on the ground, struggling but unable to get up, his eyes filled with panic.
Zhou Wanfeng’s brow darkened. She ignored the cafeteria staff who had come up and raised her voice. “Say it! Is it true that Liu Jinchen insulted Yun Jingya from First Year, Class Three? If you say one wrong word, I guarantee the next slap will land on your face.”
“Classmate, please let this male classmate go first,” a cafeteria staff member said, stepping forward. Just as he was about to reach out, he was pushed aside by Lu Qing, who started to argue with him.
Lu Qing was overjoyed to see Zhou Wanfeng hit Liu Jinchen. What was the cafeteria staff doing, causing trouble at a time like this? Why hadn’t they come over when someone was hitting him just now?
Zhang Sheng was pointed at by Zhou Wanfeng. Her cold and sharp gaze was fixed on him. He looked at Liu Jinchen, who was being slapped in public. He closed his eyes tightly, feeling as if he were being stared at by a wild beast and couldn’t escape. He opened his mouth and shouted, “It’s fake! It’s all fake! It’s because she went to the homeroom teacher to complain, and the homeroom teacher called our parents and scolded us! Anyway, we can’t be friends, so we just wanted to get revenge on her…” He said it all in one breath, then panted heavily, pushed through the crowd, and ran away.
Jiang Chen took this opportunity to shout, “Did you hear that? He wanted to be friends with her, but when he was rejected, he held a grudge and spread rumors in public, insulting her parents! This is Liu Jinchen from First Year, Class Six! All the girls in the school, be careful! See this person’s true colors!”
Zhou Wanfeng was not finished. She dragged Liu Jinchen and went straight out of the third cafeteria to find the director of teaching. Yun Jingya wiped her tears and followed.
Seeing this, Lu Qing had to follow. He was a participant and also a witness.
Well, he couldn’t eat anymore. Jiang Chen, Jiang Yi, and even Wang Feili and Wu Junfeng all followed.
The farce was being discussed in the third cafeteria, and it didn’t stop when they returned to the classroom, especially in First Year, Class Three and First Year, Class Six.
But the situation in the two classes was completely opposite.
“Zhou Wanfeng made a move? Damn it, I actually eat in the third cafeteria every day. Why did I go to the second cafeteria today? Why?” he said, hating that he wasn’t there.
“I was right next to them! Damn, Zhou Wanfeng’s kick was so cool! I didn’t see how she made her move later. It was so fast, she just grabbed that bastard from Class Six by the neck and choked him so he couldn’t even speak! Then she kicked him and made him kneel! Then Zhou Wanfeng slapped him, and slapped him again! My god, it was so exciting!”
“The military training for Class Six was far away. They didn’t see Zhou Wanfeng’s match with the instructor. If they had, they wouldn’t have dared to mess with her.”
“I heard that the bastard from Class Six was dragged out by Zhou Wanfeng.”
“It’s so disgusting. He’s always hanging around our door, and then he acts like this when he’s rejected. He’s so f*cking cheap.”
First Year, Class Six was also discussing this matter. Zhang Sheng and the other participating classmate were not there. They had been called away by the homeroom teacher.
“What did Liu Jinchen do? He’s really not a good person.”
“I heard he was beaten up by a girl from First Year, Class Three?”
“Her name is Zhou Wanfeng. Do you really not remember this name? Didn’t you hear about it in junior high?”
“What? What happened with Zhou Wanfeng in junior high? Was there something?”
“She used to be from Shuangshu Model Middle School. Do you remember that there was something that the school talked about at the morning assembly before? A girl who was praised by the whole city. More than a dozen social hooligans had surrounded her at the gate. This person is Zhou Wanfeng.”
“I think there was something like that. I have a vague impression.”
“I have an impression too!”
“I heard from other classes that that girl had a match with their instructor and even won.”
“To be so good at fighting, it must be Zhou Wanfeng from Shuangshu Model Middle School. I remember my friend said that in junior high, her grades were always first in the grade. That’s the one. She got into No. 1 High School.”
“Damn, you’re giving me goosebumps.”
“Liu Jinchen was pinned down and slapped. He couldn’t fight back at all. Can a normal girl pin down a boy?”
All the classes were discussing what had happened at the third cafeteria during lunch. It was mostly about a boy from Class Six who liked a girl from Class Three. The girl was not willing, so the boy publicly insulted and spread rumors about her parents. Then a girl from Class Three stood up and kicked him away.
Zhou Wanfeng had gone out of the third cafeteria and gone straight to the teaching and guidance office. After explaining the situation, the homeroom teacher of First Year, Class Three,
Xu Lei, and the homeroom teacher of First Year, Class Six both rushed over.
Yun Jingya had originally stopped crying, but when she thought of those filthy words, her tears started to fall again.
Lu Qing directly told the teacher that he had been the one to make the first move, that Liu Jinchen deserved to be beaten, for spreading rumors and cursing people, and for smashing his tray at them. Although he hadn’t been hit, the soup had splashed on him, so it counted.
Jiang Yi said that they had smashed their trays first, and then had started to use foul language. Lu Qing couldn’t stand it and had hit them. Then the three of them had prepared to beat up Lu Qing, and he had stopped one of them. But Liu Jinchen and Zhang Sheng had hit Lu Qing, and then Zhou Wanfeng had come in time and separated the three of them.
Jiang Chen and Wu Junfeng said that they had indeed seen it happen like that.
Yang Yijun, who had been resting at home and taking a nap, was woken up by Auntie Luo. “The school called. It was Miss Jingya’s homeroom teacher.”
Yang Yijun frowned. “It must be Zhou Wanfeng who has caused trouble again. I don’t know if it’s a good thing for her to be in the same class as Jingya. She’s so troublesome.”
Auntie Luo listened to Yang Yijun’s muttering and quickly interrupted, “I don’t think it’s like that. I heard that Miss Jingya was being bullied by a boy from another class at school, and Miss Wanfeng was protecting Miss Jingya, that’s why she hit someone…”
“What?” she said, quickly getting up and changing to go to the school.
It was not a big deal for her to go by herself. “Go and call my son-in-law and tell him to go to the school right now. He must go now. And where is Yun Lan? Her daughter is being bullied, and she’s still out playing.”
Yang Yijun quickly changed into some clothes to go out. Auntie Zhang was downstairs. She was not the one who had answered the phone, so she didn’t know what was going on. She was about to go up and ask, but Yang Yijun was in such a hurry that she didn’t even look at her and just rushed past.
The car quickly arrived at the school. Yang Yijun was walking with a brisk pace, a combination of elegance and speed. She went straight to the teaching and guidance office. When she entered, she saw Zhou Wanfeng and Jingya sitting on chairs.
The moment Yun Jingya saw her grandmother, she stood up, and her aggrieved tears immediately couldn’t be controlled.
Yang Yijun immediately hugged her and patiently soothed her.
The homeroom teacher, Xu Lei, explained the whole thing in detail. Yang Yijun hugged Yun Jingya, her gaze unconsciously falling on Zhou Wanfeng, who was sitting quietly against the wall. She was the same person she had seen at home, with a cold expression and a sharp gaze.
At this moment, when Yang Yijun looked at Zhou Wanfeng, her feelings were a little complicated.
The homeroom teacher had said that the boy from Class Six, Liu Jinchen, had publicly insulted and spread rumors in the cafeteria. The words were very ugly and filthy, and the impact was very bad. Zhou Wanfeng, concerned about Yun Jingya’s feelings and emotions, had stepped in to stop it.
“Grandma, he cursed me and Mom. The words were very ugly,” Yun Jingya couldn’t even repeat the insulting words. She was now like a young bird, nestled in Yang Yijun’s arms, seeking comfort.
Zhou Wanfeng, on the other hand, stood up with a blank expression and walked up to the homeroom teacher, Xu Lei. “Teacher Xu, can I go back to the classroom now?”
As they were talking, the office door was knocked on twice and then pushed open from the outside. Yun Lan and Zhou Zhiru walked in together.
