Chapter 457: Beat You Until You Wouldn't Dare to Take Revenge Even as a Ghost

Shi Ran was so angry that she got into a fight with the classmates who were spreading rumors.

The rumor-mongers were many and powerful; Shi Ran was at a disadvantage and couldn't beat them, and she refused to tell her teachers, so she ended up getting beaten several times in a row.

The teacher came over today to apologize.

Apologizing to Shi Youxuan for not noticing the children's situation was a dereliction of duty!

The apology was insincere, yet the teacher was extremely curious, asking about Shi Ran's father's situation in great detail, with undisguised curiosity in their eyes.

It was as if the word "gossip" was written all over their face.

Shi Youxuan said coldly, "So, are you here today to probe for the truth?"

The teacher was a bit embarrassed and explained sheepishly, "Shi Ran's mother, that's not what I meant. I am Shi Ran's homeroom teacher; surely I have the right to understand the situation at my student's home? It also helps to dispel rumors."

Hah!

It sounded high-sounding, and at first glance, it even seemed quite reasonable.

In reality, it was just a roundabout way of finding out if Sheng Hanyu had really run off with another woman.

The classmates spreading rumors, the group fighting, and the forming of cliques to alienate a student—such campus bullying was brushed off by her with a light remark, while she repeatedly "verified" whether the rumors were true.

Such a person is not fit to be in the teaching profession.

Shi Youxuan said, "You should go back. You will know soon enough whether it is true or not."

If a tiger doesn't show its might, people treat it like a sick cat.

After Shi Ran's homeroom teacher left Shi Youxuan's home, before even reaching their own, they received a call from the Principal: "Teacher Mi, you don't need to come to school to work starting tomorrow. We will have someone pack up your personal belongings and send them to the Security Guard room; you can come by to pick them up when you have time."

"Your severance pay will be deposited into your card along with this month's salary."

Teacher Mi didn't ask why; she knew the reason. She regretted it now, but it was too late.

Not long after Shi Youxuan hung up the phone with the Principal, news soon came from Lao Qi's side as well: the relationship charts for the families of those students who spread rumors and fought with Shi Ran had been found.

Among them, the mothers of two of the children were particularly close with Wang Cuihua.

"Heh."

Shi Youxuan knew that this was all Wang Cuihua stirring up trouble behind the scenes, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Once or twice is enough, but it cannot happen three or four times.

After the wedding dress theft incident last time, Wang Cuihua had found Shi Youxuan several times, kneeling before her, begging bitterly and apologizing.

She begged her to let her go, saying she had been momentarily possessed by a ghost, that it really wasn't aimed at her, and that she just coveted the wedding dress because it was too beautiful...

Plus, she had knelt to her at the school gate, a place where everyone could see.

Wang Cuihua was truly willing to lose face, and Shi Youxuan had truly softened her heart, so that matter had ended with a lot of thunder but little rain, and was left unsettled.

At the time, Sheng Hanyu had warned Shi Youxuan, saying that for some people, just giving them a painful lesson wasn't enough; don't look at how pitiful Wang Cuihua acts now, once she recovers, she will bite you again.

Sheng Hanyu told Shi Youxuan that for some people, you have to beat them until they wouldn't dare to take revenge on you even as a ghost!

She hadn't cared at the time; she felt that someone with Wang Cuihua's intelligence couldn't stir up any big waves, but now she saw that what Sheng Hanyu said was truly right.

If she didn't beat Wang Cuihua into a ghost this time, she wouldn't be worthy of being Shi Ran's mother.

Her aunt advised her to let it go, saying that enduring for a moment brings peace.

So Shi Youxuan thought about it carefully, and no—the more she stepped back, the angrier she got!

This matter could not be endured; they had already bullied her daughter, and she still had to endure it?

If she endured any more, she would become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Shi Youxuan, accompanied by Lao Qi and a group of bodyguards, blocked the entrance of Wang Cuihua's new shop with a menacing air.

Although she hadn't gone to Prison last time, she had lost her photo studio business and could only work in a different place.

Shi Youxuan asked Lao Qi, "Are you sure this is the place?"

"Sure, Madam, it is definitely here."

"Good."

Shi Youxuan smiled slightly, waved her slender fingers, and said softly, "Smash it!"

She walked back a few steps and sat on a chair prepared by the bodyguards. Fang Jie handed her some freshly squeezed juice, and she drank it while watching.

The brand-new dry cleaning shop before her was soon smashed to pieces.

"Stop smashing, I beg you, please stop smashing... I haven't offended you, boo-hoo..." Wang Cuihua was driven out from inside, crying.

She was crying with snot and tears, her heart bleeding.

The money to open this shop was all borrowed. To build momentum for the new shop, she had offered a 50% discount on dry cleaning for expensive clothing. As a result, the shop was full of clothes that had been sent in, and they were all ruined. How much money would she have to pay in compensation?

It wasn't that Wang Cuihua hadn't thought about calling the police, but the wedding dress shop matter wasn't over yet; she didn't dare to call.

She thought these people were sent by the wedding dress shop, but after catching a glimpse of Shi Youxuan sitting not far away, she understood everything.

Wang Cuihua lunged toward Shi Youxuan... Heaven is my witness, she just wanted to plead for mercy; she really didn't intend anything else.

But before she could get close, she was kicked in the chest by a bodyguard and flew three or four meters away!

Wang Cuihua fainted on the spot.

Shi Youxuan hadn't expected her to be so fragile, and said softly, "Get some water and splash it on her to wake her up."

"Splash—"

A basin of water was poured over Wang Cuihua's head. No one knew where the water came from, but it even had vegetable leaves in it.

Wang Cuihua slowly came to.

"Cough, cough!"

When she opened her eyes and saw that the shop had been smashed to near-ruin, she almost fainted again!

"Heavens! There's no justice! Robbers, robbery in broad daylight, help, is there anyone who can manage this..." Wang Cuihua began to wail loudly.

The shop was completely destroyed; now, even begging for mercy was useless.

This woman reacts quite quickly; she immediately thought of throwing a tantrum to extort a Hallucinogenic Pen from Shi Youxuan!

However, she miscalculated this time.

Since Shi Youxuan dared to bring people to smash the shop in broad daylight, she must have come prepared.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger; when the number of people watching the spectacle reached a certain point, Shi Youxuan paced in front of her and "kindly" reminded her: "Stop howling, I have already called the police for you. They will arrive in a moment, and then there will be someone to stand up for you."

It didn't take long before the 110 police car arrived, and not just the 110, but also her husband and sister-in-law.

Wang Cuihua trembled at the sight of the police, and when she saw her husband and sister-in-law, her momentum shrank even further.

Heaven and earth are my witness, she did not want to blow this matter out of proportion.

She especially did not want her sister-in-law to know about this.

"Who called the police?" the police officer asked.

"Her," Shi Youxuan pointed at Wang Cuihua, "I smashed her shop, and she wants to sue me."

Police officer:...

In all his years as a police officer, this was the first time he had seen such an open and honest troublemaker.

Saying she was open and honest was because Shi Youxuan was exceptionally calm.

It was as if she were not talking about her own affairs, but someone else's.

"Why did you smash someone's shop?" the police officer asked.

Shi Youxuan smiled indifferently: "You can't ask me about this; you have to ask her."

Wang Cuihua felt that something was wrong; she had already experienced Shi Youxuan's abilities, and she must have a conspiracy.

But now that she had been pushed to the front, there was no way back, and she could only bite the bullet and press on.

"Officer, I am just an honest, law-abiding person, making a living by running a small business..." Wang Cuihua rambled on, first describing herself as an honest person,

and then saying she didn't know why these people came over and smashed her shop.

"Did you know each other before?"

Wang Cuihua was at a loss for words; she was hesitating, not wanting to say they knew each other.

So she said: "I don't know her."

"If you don't know her, why did she smash your shop and not someone else's?" the police officer retorted.
