Chapter 40 - Remind You Of Your Rightful Place (2)
Xu Shenshen looked at Shen Minyao as if she had grown another head over her shoulder. Even the students crowding around them were speechless of what Shen Minyao said. Since when did the bully become the victim? Why did it seem that Xu Shenshen was clearly no match against Shen Minyao right now?
"Not because I didn't say anything before does it mean those ridiculous rumors are true." She continued, her eyes sweeping around, watching as the other students avoided her gaze in shame. The past Shen Minyao was foolish enough to keep her silence, allowing other people to tarnish her reputation using a baseless accusation.
She then returned her attention back to Xu Shenshen who was still stunned by her revelation.
"All of you are free to go to the faculty room or to the headmistress to see whether I have really taken the examination or not. Perhaps, you might also finally figure out who had recently broken the record and aced the entrance exam years ago."
"Shen Minyao, you liar!" Xu Shenshen roared in anger. She refused to believe Shen Minyao's claim, but her opinion didn't matter to Shen Minyao anymore. Someone would surely try to check if her claim was correct, and she was just being falsely accused by everyone.
Hearing Xu Shenshen's spiteful words, Shen Minyao smiled coldly. She bent her waist forward and gripped Xu Shenshen's face harshly with one hand, her long nails digging painfully on Xu Shenshen's fragile skin.
"Stupid girl. You want to bully me with this level of skill? Xu Shenshen, your older sister—I, Shen Minyao—am deeply disappointed in you," Shen Minyao whispered next to Xu Shenshen's ear before pushing her face away.
"Anyway, where were we again?" Shen Minyao asked amusedly. "Oh? Didn't you say you want to teach me again a lesson and remind me of my place? Classmate Xu, too bad. Today, it was me who's going to teach you a good lesson. Please try to remember what I will show you today."
"You!" Xu Shenshen's anger towards Shen Minyao reached another level, but it only made the fox woman amused at her pitiful attempt to intimidate the other.
The fox woman pressed her forefinger on Xu Shenshen's lips and made a hushed sound. The more she knew about her host's past life, the more she got irritated by it. Why was Shen Minyao trying to please everyone at her own expense anyway?
No wonder people thought that she was a doormat they could easily step on and forget later. Shen Minyao could not control how the surrounding people would act, but she certainly could change and improve her life by changing the way she lived. No matter what a person did, how they wanted to live was up to them and not for another person to decide.
"Classmate Xu, do you know? I was just pretending to be nice all this time. Actually, I am a horrible person who loves to see other people in a miserable state like you. I also like to see people pretend how strong and powerful they are when, in fact, they are nothing but insignificant insects in my eyes. You want me to remind me of my place? Oh, Classmate Xu, I should be the one who should remind you where people like you should be."
After saying those words, Shen Minyao didn't waste time and pulled Xu Shenshen's long hair, dragging her to the nearest ladies' room where the latter used to beat up the old Shen Minyao. It was time for this bully to taste her own medicine and experience the pain and humiliation she inflicted on other people.
Xu Shenshen's cries echoed in the hallway as she struggled to free herself from Shen Minyao. However, no one dared to step forward to save her. Because she was a known bully within Spring Hill High, she had offended many students in the past. So seeing her being beaten by her own victim before made the others feel that she was only getting what she deserved.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! LET GO OF ME, YOU BITCH!" Xu Shenshen screamed on top of her lungs, holding onto Shen Minyao's wrist as the latter pulled her hair.
Cries of pain could be heard inside the ladies' room, and those could hear it were still in disbelief at the sudden turn of events between Shen Minyao and Xu Shenshen. It was as if Shen Minyao had become a demoness after her return.
While the humans outside wondered why Shen Minyao suddenly changed, the fox woman's mood brightened up as she abused Xu Shenshen within one of the cubicles of the restroom, pushing her face down the toilet water.
Ha. Several times, Shen Minyao wished she would drop dead, so people stopped bullying her and nagging at her for the things she never did. Since everyone seemed to hate her so much, perhaps should be better off dead. This was what she used to think before.
"Just one punch from me, and you are already writhing in pain. Didn't your parents give you a good upbringing? Usually, I don't want to tarnish my hand and hit imbecile insects like you, but you keep getting on my way today." Shen Minyao pulled Xu Shenshen's hair forcefully, looking at her badly beaten face with blood dripping on the corner of her lips.
"Oh my. How can your lover like you anymore if you look like shit? Anyway, a shit like you belongs to the toilet, don't you think?" She released Xu Shenshen's hair, the girl dropping weakly to the floor with a swollen face.
Shen Minyao stepped on the side of Xu Shenshen's face and pulled out her new mobile phone, taking a few photos of her plaything.
"Little girl, make sure you don't forget today's lesson, okay?"
"Shen Minyao, I will kill you!" Xu Shenshen glared despite her current condition.
"Oh? You want to kill me? There's a long line waiting for you then, but sure, I'll be waiting for you.. Please don't disappoint me next time."
