A prestigious girls' school, universally disliked, and me? I have a billion dollars - Chapter 8

Something felt wrong.

No…

It felt incredibly wrong.

Tang Sui kept looking at Song Fanxing with smiling peach-blossom eyes that seemed to hold endless warmth and affection. Every glance she gave was lazy, seductive, and dangerously alluring.

She was always like this.

Always making gestures that blurred the line between teasing and flirting.

Outside the classroom, Yu Ying’s group was so close that only a single door separated them.

“Damn it! Every room’s locked. How are we supposed to get in?”

“We got tricked again!”

Tang Sui slowly released Song Fanxing’s finger from between her lips.

A thin silver thread stretched briefly between her tongue and Song Fanxing’s fingertip before snapping apart, filling the quiet classroom with an oddly intimate atmosphere.

Watching the scene unfold, Song Fanxing fell silent.

Only one thought crossed her mind.

Tang Sui was hopelessly shameless.

Eventually, the voices outside faded into the distance.

Only then did the room become quiet again.

Song Fanxing was still seated on the floor, pinned beneath Tang Sui’s weight and unable to stand.

Tang Sui smiled lazily.

“Fanxing, do you know…”

“This position is rather suggestive.”

Leaning closer, she whispered something into Song Fanxing’s ear.

Without lifting her eyes, Song Fanxing replied calmly,

“You’re far too shameless, Tang Sui.”

Whether it was criticism or merely an observation was impossible to tell.

Tang Sui chuckled.

She climbed off Song Fanxing’s lap and settled beside her instead.

“You’re always so serious.”

“It’s adorable.”

“I wonder what kind of person will become your lover someday.”

Song Fanxing quietly retrieved a textbook from her bag.

Without looking up, she answered,

“I won’t have a lover.”

Tang Sui merely raised an eyebrow.

According to the novel, Song Fanxing never fell in love with anyone until the very end.

Being forced into relationships with several women would only make her feel disgusted.

Originally…

Tang Sui had only wanted to read an erotic novel.

Yawning, she leaned her head comfortably against Song Fanxing’s shoulder.

“I’m going to sleep.”

Song Fanxing’s body stiffened slightly.

But she didn’t push Tang Sui away.

Instead, she silently let her rest there.

Moments this peaceful had been absent from her life for a very long time.

---

After lunch, they separated.

Their classrooms were located in different buildings, so they naturally headed in opposite directions.

When Tang Sui returned to her own classroom, she immediately noticed something unusual.

The room was crowded.

Students had gathered together, whispering excitedly.

The instant someone spotted her, they shouted,

“Sister Qiao!”

“Tang Sui’s here!”

Tang Sui blinked in surprise.

Had she become so famous overnight that people were announcing her arrival?

---

Earlier that morning, Tang Sui had appeared with freshly cut bangs.

Without the curtain of hair covering her face, everyone had mistaken her for a transfer student.

Only after she sat down did they realize who she was.

Her upturned peach-blossom eyes, framed by thick lashes, were breathtaking.

Even the plain school uniform she wore every day suddenly looked elegant on her.

Yet no amount of beauty could erase her reputation.

To everyone present, she was still the shameless woman who had seduced Fu Juezhou’s mother.

And anyone Fu Juezhou hated…

Automatically became their enemy.

The student near the window shouted again,

“Sister Qiao!”

“She’s at the door!”

Tang Sui smiled.

“Does Sister Qiao miss me that much?”

“She even came looking for me personally.”

The crowd slowly parted.

Qiao Ling stood up.

Her tall frame and light-colored hair made her impossible to overlook.

Tang Sui’s eyes landed on her familiar puppy-like gaze before she smiled.

“Your look today is rather unique.”

“It’s actually kind of cute.”

There wasn’t a trace of sarcasm in her voice.

She genuinely meant it.

Qiao Ling puffed out her cheeks and pushed through the crowd until she stood directly before Tang Sui.

Although Tang Sui was around 170 centimeters tall, she appeared noticeably smaller beside Qiao Ling.

Even so…

Her presence remained completely undiminished.

Tilting her head slightly, Tang Sui asked,

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Tang Sui’s calm expression, Qiao Ling’s cheeks flushed red with anger.

She hadn’t recognized Tang Sui immediately after the haircut.

But those vivid red lips…

There was no mistaking them.

Because of Tang Sui, she had spent the entire night wrapped in humiliating bandages.

She remained silent.

Tang Sui glanced casually at the classroom clock.

“There are still eight minutes before class starts.”

Qiao Ling lowered her gaze.

“I’m very angry.”

Tang Sui nodded.

“And?”

A sweet smile spread across Qiao Ling’s face.

Without warning, she reached out and grabbed Tang Sui by the throat.

“I’m going to punish you.”

“Right here.”

“This is only the beginning.”

“It’s your fault I had to wait here listening to those annoying flies buzz around me.”

Instead of objecting, the surrounding students erupted into cheers.

“Sister Qiao!”

“Teach her a lesson!”

“This is going to be fun!”

“We’ve blocked the doorway!”

“She can’t run!”

Their mocking voices echoed throughout the classroom.

Qiao Ling smiled brightly.

“No one is going to save you.”

The hatred inside her had grown far beyond her expectations.

She couldn’t wait another second.

She wanted to cripple Tang Sui immediately.

Today, without any weapon…

How could Tang Sui possibly fight back?

Tang Sui merely tilted her head, glancing briefly at the bandages wrapped around Qiao Ling’s forehead.

Then she laughed softly.

“Looks like last time wasn’t enough.”

She wasn’t angry.

To her…

Qiao Ling and everyone else in the room were merely children.

Children who had gone terribly astray.

And whose punishments had clearly never been severe enough.

Qiao Ling frowned.

Why was Tang Sui still smiling?

Did she really believe a teacher would appear to rescue her?

Or was she convinced someone else would interfere?

Tightening her grip around Tang Sui’s neck, Qiao Ling spoke plainly.

“No one is coming.”

“My family is powerful.”

Tang Sui reached up and gently grasped Qiao Ling’s wrist.

A quiet laugh escaped her lips.

“Yes.”

“You do have a powerful family.”

“That’s why people like you believe you can do anything.”

Trampling on others.

Destroying their dignity.

Treating cruelty as entertainment.

When she had finished reading the novel…

That had been her only impression of its protagonists.

Smiling sweetly, Tang Sui asked,

“Qiao Ling…”

“Would you like me to help you instead?”

Before Qiao Ling could react, a sharp pain exploded through her arm.

Her expression immediately turned pale.

“What are you doing?!”

The pain forced her fingers loose.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Without hesitation, Tang Sui mirrored her actions.

She grabbed Qiao Ling by the neck.

Then slammed her onto the floor.

The sharp impact echoed across the classroom.

Everything fell deathly silent.

“It hurts!”

Qiao Ling’s scream finally snapped everyone back to reality.

Faces changed instantly.

Several students rushed forward—

Only to freeze when Tang Sui spoke calmly.

“Do you think you’re faster than me?”

“I could snap Qiao Ling’s neck before any of you reached us.”

Her pleasant voice sounded almost playful.

Someone shouted with trembling anger,

“Tang Sui!”

“Have you gone insane?”

“Do you know who Qiao Ling is?”

Tang Sui ignored them.

Instead, she looked quietly at Qiao Ling, who struggled desperately beneath her hand.

No matter how hard Qiao Ling clawed at Tang Sui’s wrist…

It didn’t move an inch.

Tang Sui smiled.

Then slapped her.

The crack rang through the room.

Almost instantly, Qiao Ling’s cheek swelled, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

“Let Sister Qiao go!”

someone screamed from behind.

A chair suddenly flew toward Tang Sui.

Without even turning around fully, she raised one arm and caught it midair.

The collision of metal against flesh drew gasps from every witness.

Yet Tang Sui’s expression never changed.

She looked neither hurt nor surprised.

Children born into privilege rarely considered consequences.

After all…

They had never needed to.

Tightening her fingers around Qiao Ling’s throat, Tang Sui watched as Qiao Ling’s face slowly changed from red to green.

Her struggles weakened.

She could barely breathe.

For the first time, genuine fear spread through the classroom.

Tang Sui really intended to kill her.

Hadn’t she already warned them?

“I told you…”

“I could strangle Qiao Ling.”

“And prison doesn’t really worry me.”

The student holding the chair turned deathly pale.

In a shaky voice, she muttered,

“Tang Sui…”

“You think going to prison is the only consequence?”

Tang Sui lifted an eyebrow.

Just as she was about to answer—

An angry voice echoed from outside the classroom.

“What are all of you doing blocking the doorway?”
