CHAPTER 141: CHAPTER 141: ANYWAY, IT’S NOT ME WHO’S EMBARRASSED

After getting used to Xinyan’s cooking, eating at the cafeteria just feels exceptionally inferior.

Thinking about the expressions on the faces of those two little fellows during lunch, he could totally empathize.

Originally, he wanted to check on her at noon, but worried that he might cause her trouble, he held back.

Xinyan locked the main door, went back inside, and entered the space. Since there was plenty of time there, she braised a fish, stir-fried a bowl of green beans with minced garlic, and steamed some white rice, finally feeling free and unconstrained.

After eating, she saw the on the bamboo table on the first floor and thought that her next task was to find someone to teach her traditional Chinese characters, or it would delay matters.

Thinking about this, she walked upstairs, took out the cloth she had torn before, grabbed the scissors and chalk she had prepared, and cut out the designs she wanted.

One pair of black straight pants, a white fitted short-sleeve shirt. By the time she left for school, the pants were already finished, and the short-sleeve was half-done. However, she was afraid that Zhao Jianlan would come to call her, so she exited the space early.

As expected, Zhao Jianlan arrived early: "Xinyan, let’s go."

Hearing the calling, Xinyan came out from the house.

Zhao Jianlan was very chatty, talking about everyone in the class all the way. Nearing the school, she looked around and then whispered: "Let me tell you, when I was heading home for lunch, I heard the Lyu Family arguing, then saw Yao Hui run out of the house. You watch, someone like her is definitely not doing well."

Upon hearing this, Xinyan smirked coldly in her heart: This is just the start, those three naughty kids are not easy to handle, the real tears are yet to come.

Seeing Zhao Jianlan staring at her, she couldn’t help but laugh: "Why are you staring at me? The Lyu Family issues have nothing to do with me. At most, I’m just one of those watching the joke."

Zhao Jianlan didn’t expect Xinyan to say this and gave a thumbs up: "You’re impressive, not only smart but also assertive, I admire you."

Just as the two were happily chatting, they heard someone behind them say: "She’s already divorced and still comes to school, isn’t she afraid of being laughed at?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jianlan turned around and wanted to retaliate, but was held back by Xinyan: "Alright, she didn’t name anyone, let’s pretend we didn’t hear it."

Zhao Jianlan was displeased and said: "If you don’t speak up, she’ll think you’re scared of her. That person is Song Limin, the little daughter from Yao Hui’s second aunt’s family."

Xinyan gave the girl a glance, dismissively saying: "Let her talk. It’s not my face to be embarrassed."

Just as Xinyan mentioned, after hearing Song Limin’s words, many people gave her strange looks. Someone whispered: "She’s trying to vent for her cousin Yao Hui, but doesn’t she realize Yao Hui did disgraceful things, which is why she got divorced? She really has the nerve to talk about others."

"Yao Hui’s done such shameless things, and Song Limin still stands up for her. What is she thinking?"

"Maybe those cousins are the same kind of people. We should keep our distance from her in the future."

Song Limin didn’t expect that her words would mean nothing to Xinyan, and instead, she herself became the subject of others’ questioning and sidelining. She dared not say anything more and turned to leave quickly.

Zhao Jianlan now admired Xinyan tremendously. If she hadn’t held her back earlier, this incident might have grown larger, potentially even disturbing the school.

Xinyan, having lived a second life, didn’t take these minor matters to heart. Her top priority now was the college entrance exam. Once she gets into college, she won’t have any encounters with these people. Let them talk as they wish; it won’t hurt her at all, and fair judgment lies in people’s hearts. Reason doesn’t depend on volume.

The two quickly entered the classroom, and before long the class bell rang.

Class teacher Teacher Chu hurriedly entered the classroom with a textbook: "Everyone, quiet down. I have something to tell you."

Everyone quieted down and listened as Teacher Chu said: "There is a city-wide high school mathematics competition, and our school has three spots. Those interested can sign up with me, and the school selection exam will be held during the final period tomorrow morning."
