Chapter 164 - 164 Su Ni Came Back

164 Su Ni Came Back
Shen Xi merely smiled. Zhao Yuan inclined her head towards the door, prompting Shen Xi to turn around.
Shen Xi swivelled to look. Su Ni, who had been on leave for two days, clutched her schoolbag against her chest as she shuffled silently to her seat.
When Jiang Xu caught sight of Su Ni, she immediately pulled her aside, asking, “Su Ni, you’re back. Is everything okay at home?”
Su Ni’s eyes flickered to Shen Xi. Noting Shen Xi’s lack of response, Su Ni nodded and said, “Everything is alright.”
Not only did Lu Lin drop the lawsuit against her, but he also took no further actions against her family or their businesses.
Although the Su family had suffered heavy losses this time, it was not something they could not bounce back from given enough time. Lu Lin’s mercy gave them a chance to catch their breath.
According to word on the grapevine, Lu Lin had also rescinded the order to boycott Su family businesses.
As long as the Su family developed quietly without stepping on anyone else’s toes, it was not likely they would land themselves in hot soup again.
If anything, the turn of events convinced Su Ni that the trouble her family had faced was because she offended Shen Xi. Su Ni vowed she would be more cautious when dealing with Shen Xi in the future.
Su Ni was, however, curious to know Shen Xi’s identity. For her to command the wind and rain and crush the Su family under her heel, she had to be some extraordinary personage.
The other possibility was that Shen Xi had found herself an incredible backer. Maybe she had become the secret lover of some big wig in upper society. That person would have had no trouble punishing the Su family on Shen Xi’s behalf.
If so, the mysterious backer must have let her family off the hook when she produced evidence to assist Shen Xi.
Su Ni shot Shen Xi a searching look, which confused those around her. Shen Xi felt Su Ni’s gaze and tilted her head questioningly, “Is something the matter, Su Ni?”
Shen Xi’s question shook her out of her thoughts.
“Here’s your phone.” Shen Xi returned the phone Su Ni had lent her yesterday.
With great respect, Su Ni received her phone with both hands, bowing politely as she said thank you.
The almost reverent nature of her thanks caused several eyes to widen. The haughty Su Ni, who had her eyes glued to her head, displayed an uncanny humility that did not fit her character.
Hadn’t she looked down on Shen Xi just a few days ago? Why the sudden change in attitude? It almost seemed… magical?
Zhao Yuan was so shocked her mouth hung agape. She stared at Su Ni in disbelief, watching as she shuffled back to her seat with her phone cupped in her hands. It was Zhao Yuan’s first time seeing Su Ni behave this way.
Although baffled by Su Ni’s display, Shen Xi quickly put it out of her mind. She had no interest in why Su Ni had decided to turn over a new leaf.
On the other hand, Jiang Xue was less than pleased by Su Ni’s failure to live up to her expectations. She had hoped that, upon her return, Su Ni would rejoin her in their crusade against Shen Xi.
Yet, contrary to her hopes, Su Ni had returned cowed, like a mouse before a cat, which made Jiang Xue exceptionally gloomy.
How could her friend and ally be reduced to a piece of trash?
The class monitor stepped up to the whiteboard and turned on the projector. Soon, an image formed.
All the students watched the video play. It was a live broadcast from the principal’s office. In the video were two others besides the principal. One was Liu Cheng, and the other was Liu Xie.
As they waited with bated breath, wondering what would happen, Liu Cheng picked up a piece of paper and read it aloud.
“Hello, everyone. My name is Liu Cheng, a student from Grade 12, Class 4. Because of my harsh, sharp-tongued words, I’ve slandered my classmate Shen Xi, causing her to suffer psychological trauma. I am here to apologise formally today, but before that, I wish to thank Shen Xi for her kindness and…”
Speaking up to that point, Liu Cheng paused. She pursed her lips awkwardly as tears filled her eyes. She cut quite a sorry picture.
Liu Xie slapped his daughter upside. “You daft girl, why have you stopped? Continue reading! I expect you to continue reading it to me, even if Shen Xi doesn’t forgive you today!”
