Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Yao raised her brow and then smiled at Meng Ying. In a lukewarm voice, she said, “Congrats, you got it right.”

“You mean… PFFFT, I got it right?” Although the thought had crossed Meng Ying’s mind, it was completely different to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth.

She had taken Huo Yao and Lu Xia to be merely relatives when they bumped into each other at the school entrance previously. Never did she think that Huo Yao was the baby who got swapped at birth with Lu Xia.

Meng Ying touched her nose. “So Lu Xia can’t stand seeing how good your grades are and keeps framing you to make it impossible for you to stay at No.1 Middle School. Oh wow! I always thought Lu Xia was a poser. But now I’m certain that she’s a pretentious bitch.”

Despite reuniting with her rich parents and severing ties with her foster parents, she was still so jealous that she kept messing with her foster parents’ daughter.

“What can I say? I’m simply too outstanding,” said Huo Yao proudly as she tucked some hair behind her ear.

Meng Ying was caught completely off guard and received another blow. “…”

Was that right?

Huo Yao raised her hand and placed it on Meng Ying’s shoulder when she saw how dumbstruck Meng Ying looked. With a smirk, she turned to face the front. “Pay attention to what the Principal has to say.”

The Principal made no small talk and got straight to the point. Sure enough, he wanted to talk about the post which accused Huo Yao of cheating during the National Quiz Contest.

Even if the school wanted to suppress it, it was already too late since the post had caused a furor online. In any case, the Principal had no intention of suppressing the news after seeing the various comments yesterday.

He had personally invited Huo Yao to join No.1 Middle School. However, her name kept getting smeared repeatedly ever since the school term started. It was no longer merely slander but had become a matter of challenging the school rules and culture.

Since the school had a long glorious history, anyone capable of sitting at its helm as principal undoubtedly would have excellent decision-making skills. The current principal was nothing less than a force to be reckoned with.

After the Principal spoke for 20 minutes, almost all the students involved in adding fuel to the post started to break out in cold sweat and felt ashamed of themselves.

Chang Yingying felt as though a heavy rock had fallen on her heart. She was in a daze, and her mind kept ringing non-stop since she was the one who had posted it. The Principal announced that he wanted to catch the culprit behind the slander and make an example of that student.

Although she had posted it anonymously, she could not help feeling scared.

If the school wanted to investigate it, she was bound to end up getting exposed.

Chang Yingying’s eyes landed on Lu Xia, standing in front of her. She could no longer restrain herself from tugging Lu Xia’s sleeve.

Lu Xia was equally frustrated. She moved away a little when she detected Chang Yingying coming near. The usual warm expression had dissipated from her face.

Chang Yingying was so frightened after hearing what the Principal said that she failed to detect Lu Xia’s sullen expression. “Xiaxia, what should I do now? The Principal wants to punish the person who posted it.”

Lu Xia squeezed her hand and said coldly, “Why didn’t that cross your mind before you did it yesterday?”

“I… I just wanted to teach her a lesson on your behalf,” replied Chang Yingying softly.

“Enough. Stop using me as an excuse. Was I the one who told you to do it?” said Lu Xia infuriatingly.

Lu Xia did not sleep a wink last night because of that damn post. She was terrified that the situation might escalate. The moment she heard about the unscheduled assembly, she knew that things were going to go downhill.

Chang Yingying bit her lip in disbelief. She had never seen Lu Xia being so curt and impatient.
