Wife, I’ve Been Reborn (GL) - Chapter 35

Chapter 35

Chen Jiao took half a month of sick leave, and the students in the school were abuzz with discussions, but no one really knew what was going on. Mu Nan thought that Zhao Sheng had indeed suppressed the matter.

Ultimately, the harm to Chen Jiao was minimized. Thank goodness.

Every day after school, she would secretly go to see Chen Jiao. Chen Jiao’s parents were already not very fond of her. She could feel it; they sometimes looked at her expressionlessly.

They didn’t even want to greet her anymore.

In reality, Mu Nan knew that they were just disappointed with both Chen Jiao and her for the time being. After all, what they had done was a huge mistake, and it was unrealistic to pretend that nothing had happened.

Chen Jiao also became more and more silent.

She would say a few extra words when she saw Mu Nan, but usually, she just stayed in her room, reading all day, looking completely lifeless.

Half a month later, her transfer notice also came.

Chen Jiao was still packing her things in her room. Her mother had already completed the transfer procedures for her. The new school was in the northernmost part of City A, which was very far from here. Her mother said that they would sell the house here and start over there.

When Mu Nan saw Chen Jiao, Chen Jiao was still holding a doll and staring into space. All her books had been packed, and even the small trinkets people had given her for her birthday were also packed away one by one.

Mu Nan tiptoed in and called out, “Chen Jiao?”

Chen Jiao heard the voice, looked up, her eyes slightly red. “Nannan, we might not be able to see each other much anymore.”

When Mu Nan heard this, her nose tingled slightly. She knew what Chen Jiao meant.

Her family was moving so far away because they wanted to escape the shadow of this incident. Her presence would always remind Chen Jiao’s family of the wrong things Chen Jiao had done.

Whether it’s self-deception or not, if it makes them feel better, then I won’t show up, Mu Nan thought.

Mu Nan placed the supplements in her hand to the side and hugged Chen Jiao. “It’s okay. If you miss me, call me, and I’ll come to see you.”

Chen Jiao finally managed a small smile, a rare hint of a smile on her face, and her voice was choked. “Okay.”

Mu Nan nodded. There was also a person standing at the doorway.

Xu Liangchen, with a shoulder bag, looked at the two girls hugging each other. She had mixed emotions. After thinking for a moment, she took a few steps forward.

“I’m sorry.”

Her voice was still soft and clear, but this time, it was sincere and cautious.

Chen Jiao finally noticed Xu Liangchen. Hearing her apology, Chen Jiao shook her head. Everything was her own fault. The thought of how she had also tried to drag Mu Nan into the water made her feel that she was the one who should be saying sorry.

The emotions of the three people in the room were very complicated. Chen Jiao patted Mu Nan’s hand, telling her not to worry and that she would take good care of herself in the future.

Mu Nan looked at the time. Chen Jiao’s mother would be coming back soon, and she couldn’t stay any longer.

She stood up, thought for a moment, and then hugged Chen Jiao tightly. “Jiaojiao, I’ll miss you…”

Hearing this, Chen Jiao also looked like she was about to cry. Xu Liangchen could only step out of the room, listening to the two girls whispering inside.

She silently said in her heart.

Chen Jiao, take care!

Half an hour later, the two of them walked out of Chen Jiao’s room. Mu Nan stood outside the house and looked back, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She felt that no one would sneak out of their house to be with her anymore when she couldn’t sleep at night. No one would talk to her about gossip, celebrities, and how handsome the new teacher was. No one would act like a fan girl in front of her brother and a mother in front of her.

When Mu Nan thought about all this, she couldn’t help but feel a hatred for Zhao Shi. If it weren’t for him, how could all these things have happened?

If it weren’t for him, how could Chen Jiao have been hurt like this?

Yet the person who was hurt had to leave, while the person who caused the harm could continue to run rampant in the school.

Why?!

Mu Nan angrily kicked a stone. Xu Liangchen, who was beside her, frowned at her actions. “What’s wrong? Are you still worried about Chen Jiao?”

Mu Nan shook her head. “I just think it’s unfair. Why can Zhao Shi still act so recklessly in school, and why is it Jiaojiao who has to leave?”

Xu Liangchen’s eyes darkened, and her voice was low. “Don’t worry. There will always be a reckoning.”

Mu Nan nodded.

Zhao Shi had done so many bad things. He would definitely get his comeuppance.

But she didn’t expect Zhao Shi’s retribution to come so quickly!

The next day, when Mu Nan entered the classroom, she bumped into a jogging Xiaoxin. Mu Nan stumbled from the impact, wincing in pain. “What are you doing? Did you lose your soul this early in the morning?”

Xiaoxin didn’t care what Mu Nan said. She just told her to wait for her to come back and then jogged away.

Mu Nan glared at her unhappily and returned to the classroom, hearing a few students whispering.

“Hey, did they really come for Zhao Shi?”

“Of course. He’s used to being so reckless. Now he’s in trouble!”

Mu Nan frowned. She was already unhappy when she heard Zhao Shi’s name, but she also wanted to know what had happened, so she asked the girls beside her.

“What happened to Zhao Shi?”

The two girls were in the middle of an exciting conversation. Hearing that there was an audience, they became even more passionate.

“Oh, what else? I heard he went to a bar to play over the weekend, met a woman, and got a room with her.”

Mu Nan didn’t want to know about such sordid things, but she forced herself to listen.

“It turned out that the woman was married, and I heard her husband is not someone to be trifled with. This morning, he came to the school, took Zhao Shi out, and beat him up. They happened to run into the dean of students, and now they’re all in the principal’s office together.”

Mu Nan nodded.

Indeed, good deeds are rewarded with good, and evil deeds are rewarded with evil. It’s just a matter of time. Zhao Shi had finally met his match.

No wonder Xiaoxin was in such a hurry to run out. She must have gone to listen to the gossip.

Mu Nan returned to her seat and suddenly felt a sense of relief. Half of her anger was gone. It would have been even better if she could have given Zhao Shi a few more kicks.

Not long after, Xu Liangchen also entered the classroom. Mu Nan wanted to share this with her first. Xu Liangchen just said, “Mhm,” and didn’t have much of a reaction.

Mu Nan lowered her eyelids. “You don’t seem happy?”

Xu Liangchen turned to look at her, her tone calm. “I’m not.”

Mu Nan looked up at her eyes. Her small reflection was in Xu Liangchen’s phoenix eyes. Her heart was beating fast. She slowly said, “Xu Liangchen.”

“Mhm?”

“Can we go back a little later after school?”
