Chapter 134 The White-Eyed Wolf

Chapter 134 Called a White-Eyed Wolf

After the meal, Ah Ming and Ah Can sent Ye Shengge off. The car sped along, as the school was quite far from here.

"Miss Ye, from now on, I will be by your side. However, I will try my best not to cause you any trouble. While you are in class, I will hide. If you need anything, just wave your hand, and I will appear immediately."

Ye Shengge listened to the somewhat wronged and appeasing words with a hint of helplessness. She knew she was being protected and couldn't be willful or picky.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Not at all, not at all. It's what I should do."

Ah Can scratched his head sheepishly. What should he do if the future young madam was so polite?

"Also, Ah Ming will be responsible for picking you up and dropping you off. Young Master Zi knows that having a car pick you up might cause you trouble, so we will park the car in an alley near the school and then I will accompany you to school."

Ye Shengge hadn't expected Zi Yisheng to arrange things so thoughtfully, and her gratitude deepened. She thought about how to repay Zi Yisheng for his help.

"Please thank Brother Zi for his arrangements for me."

Ah Can inwardly thought, Young Master Zi doesn't need thanks; he'll be happy if you just use him with all your might.

Ye Shengge walked into the classroom at 7:20 AM and was a little surprised to see only a few people. Usually, quite a few people had already arrived by this time.

Before long, Chen Tangtang walked into the classroom and, upon seeing Ye Shengge, hugged her tightly.

"Shengge, how could you have such a bitter fate?"

Ye Shengge was unaccustomed to being hugged and quickly pushed her away.

"I'm not suffering."

"How are you not suffering? Your adoptive father is in trouble. Who will look after you from now on?"

"He never looked after me before. You know a kind person has been raising me."

Chen Tangtang felt relieved seeing that her friend wasn't truly sad.

"That's good too. From now on, you'll have the money yourself and can live however you want."

"Yes, I'll be fine, don't worry."

"Hmph, even with trouble at home, you have the heart to come to class. You're truly a heartless, white-eyed wolf."

Ye Shengge followed the voice and searched her memory for the neighbor from the original owner's neighborhood.

"Zhang Ling, are you everywhere? How does Shengge's situation concern you?"

The person named Zhang Ling knew that Old Madam Ye's family was in trouble. The neighbors were looking for Ye Shengge to come back and take care of Old Madam Ye, but they couldn't find her.

"Did I say something wrong? Even if her grandmother isn't related by blood, she still raised her for over ten years. But the moment something happened, she disappeared. Isn't she a white-eyed wolf?"

Ye Shengge knew someone would use this matter against her, but she wasn't afraid. She had made all the preparations when she decided to act.

Ye Shengge looked at the classmates pointing fingers at her, her expression calm. She even held back Chen Tangtang, who was about to argue with Zhang Ling.

"Leave it all to me, don't worry."

Ye Shengge stood up and walked not towards Zhang Ling, but to the podium. She looked around, taking in everyone's expressions.

"Classmate Zhang Ling is right. I was missing when my adoptive grandmother was injured. However, I don't feel I did anything wrong. The first day the Ye family adopted me, they received money from a kind person. That person gave the Ye family fifteen yuan every month.

My adoptive father gave five yuan to my adoptive grandmother each month and kept ten yuan for himself. My adoptive grandmother rarely spent the five yuan she received on me. Since I was young, I never ate fine grains, nor did I know the taste of eggs and meat.

Originally, the kind person wanted the Ye family to take good care of me, but they took this large sum of money and didn't provide me with food or drink. The rations I ate each month were basic grains from the government, and even then, they would take some away."

As soon as Ye Shengge spoke, discussions erupted in the classroom. Zhang Ling, however, was full of indignation. In her opinion, Ye Shengge, this sickly girl, deserved suffering and hardship. Who told her she was beautiful and always surpassed her in studies?

"Even if they have no merit, they have worked hard."

"Heh, Zhang Ling, if it were you, and fifteen yuan each month wasn't spent on you, while the family raising you were plump and fair, would you accept it? If you can accept it, then it proves you're a fool."

Ye Shengge ignored Zhang Ling and took a newspaper and a letter of proof from her bag.

"This is a thank-you article I wrote about my experience, stating how much the kind person spent on me in total. My adoptive father is also very remorseful for the money he embezzled over the years and promised to return it.

The money spent by my adoptive grandmother will be my responsibility to repay in the future, meaning I have to return all this money to the kind person. Also, I will use the five yuan each month to repay my adoptive grandmother's care. Therefore, I have now severed all filial ties with the Ye family.

This is a certificate from the director of my adoptive father's factory. Now that my adoptive father's family is in trouble, no one will repay the ten yuan each month. This means I will have to bear all the money. Do you still think I'm a white-eyed wolf? The Ye family got the money, I never ate a single bite of their food, and now I have to bear the burden of the money they took. What obligation do I have to look after them?

If I were you, what would you do?"

Ye Shengge then looked deeply at Zhang Ling.

"Zhang Ling, do not offer advice without experiencing hardship yourself. At least I cannot do that. If you can, then it proves you truly possess a foolish heart."

The classmates understood Ye Shengge's words. In essence, they took the money and mistreated her, and now she had to bear a large sum of money. Who could still acknowledge such a family?

"Furthermore, classmate Zhang Ling, as a neighbor, you are well aware of my treatment in the Ye family, and you are also aware that the Ye family was unwilling to spend money on my medical treatment, only wishing that I wouldn't die so they could get fifteen yuan every month for free. You knew everything, yet you still have the nerve to question me.

Since you are so kind, so loving, and so eager to stand up for injustice, why don't you lend a helping hand to an old neighbor?"

Zhang Ling was speechless. What could she say? Did she want to say she just wanted to see Ye Shengge miserable? She also wanted to see Ye Shengge take care of an old woman, and see if she'd still have time to attend classes.

"Also, although I haven't gone back to take care of my adoptive grandmother, I have already found someone to look for her relatives. I believe they will take good care of her considering the money she has, as I have given all the money to her."

After speaking, Ye Shengge walked down. She didn't care what others said. She had said what she needed to say, and she had presented all the evidence. From now on, if anyone came near her, she wouldn't let them off.

"Zhang Ling, I will go to your house after school today and ask what your family, such kind people, have done, and what else you are willing to contribute to help those who are suffering. As long as you do something, I will personally write a letter of commendation to the neighborhood committee. If you do a lot and help many people, I will write an article to the newspaper, just as I am grateful to the kind person who raised me."
