Chapter 90: Return to First High
Translator:EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor:EndlessFantasy Translation
First High was located in the west of the city. They arrived after less than twenty minutes of driving.
As the largest and best high school in the district, First High was a well-known school with a rich history.
Tang Hao felt sentimental when he saw the familiar silhouettes of buildings from afar. Even though his departure from the school was abrupt, the year and a half he spent there was somewhat memorable.
The entrance arch to First High was tall and wide. He could see the words Westridge District First High School written clearly on the arch while he was still a distance away.
It was the day of reporting in. Many students arrived in their parents cars.
Tang Hao drove the little three-wheeled motorcycle past the plaza and stopped in front of the entrance to the school.
Ill send you inside, Yaner! Tang Hao said as he hopped off the motorcycle.
Yaner got off the motorcycle too.
A bus stopped not too far away. The doors opened; a crowd of students alighted and walked toward the school entrance.
Amid the crowd, three young girls saw Yaner, and their faces darkened.
The girl in the lead narrowed her eyes and displayed a sinister expression. Then, they walked toward Yaner.
Oh! Isnt this the school beauty queen, Shi Yaner? The girl in the lead shouted with a hint of derision in her voice.
Yaner lifted her head. Her expression changed when she saw them.
Tang Hao frowned. He looked in their direction and saw that the three girls were dressed skimpily and wore heavy makeup. They did not look like students at all.
The girl in the lead dyed her hair blonde and had several bright red highlights. She looked rather incongruous with her surroundings.
Lets go quickly, Big Bro Hao! Yaner turned away. She sounded scared.
Tang Haos face darkened when he saw her behave that way. He could see that Yaner was afraid of them. It should mean that Yaner was once their bully victim.
Why are you in such a hurry? One of the girls smirked. She stepped quickly and blocked Yaners path.
What do you want, Xie Li? Yaner asked the girl in the lead with a serious voice.
I dont want anything. Its just that Im in a foul mood whenever I see you! I was happy when I heard that you had stopped coming to school because I dont have to look at your b*tch face whenever Im here.
I didnt expect you to return in just a semester.
Xie Li glared at Yaner with a condescending expression on her face.
Ive heard that you stopped school because your family ran out of money. I still remember that your house is in some remote mountainside. To be frank, poor people like you shouldnt force yourself to go to school. Wouldnt it be better if your parents pawned you off at a young age instead?
Isnt that so! The two other girls agreed.
You Youve gone overboard! Yaners face was bright red from anger.
Overboard? Hmph! Who asks a little b*tch like you to pretend that youre innocent and pure and seduce the boys? The boys are also idiots for crowning you as the beauty queen. I dont know whats so good about you. Arent you just a wh*re that acts all innocent and pure? Xie Li shrieked.
Tang Haos face became darker.
Suddenly, he took a step forward and shielded Yaner behind him. I dare you to open your mouth again! He said coldly.
Xie Li was shocked. She examined Tang Hao from head to toe, then expressed disdain. Who the f*ck are you? Is it your turn to speak? Youre driving a broken-down three-wheeled motorcycle, and you look like a peasant laborer! Youre just a poor loser like the b*tch! She said mockingly.
I say, Shi Yaner, dont tell me that hes your boyfriend? Haha! Hes a perfect match for you. A poor b*tch like you is destined to marry someone poor. Xie Li laughed brazenly.
Xie Li, I dont mind you laughing at me, but I dont allow you to say anything bad about my Big Bro Hao, Yaner brows straightened out of anger.
Oh, what an intimate nickname! So hes your boyfriend after all! Xie Li said sarcastically.
Tang Hao grinned and said coldly. I dont usually touch ladies, but a cheap b*tch like you dont deserve to be called a lady!
He then lifted his hand and slapped her face.
Slap!
His palm struck Xie Lis left cheek. She stumbled a few steps backward and was utterly dumbfounded.
The sudden gesture had shocked the other two girls too.
Xie Li covered her swollen left cheek with a hand and had an incredulous expression on her face. A lowly peasant laborer had just slapped her.
You You dare slap me? She roared hysterically.
She had been spoiled since she was young. No one dared to touch her. Now, she was slapped in front of everyone.
Her facial features were contorted and were even slightly vicious. She glared at Tang Hao and Shi Yaner with profound hatred in her eyes.
Tang Hao chuckled. Do I dare slap you? Ive already done so. Listen closely, the three of you. If you dare bully Yaner or badmouth her, I wont forgive you.
Xie Li broke out laughing. Haha, you have a big mouth! You must be out of your mind! Who the hell do you think you are? Youre just a bottom feeder, and yet you dare threaten me?
Do you know who my boyfriend is? Hes in the school basketball team and he knows taekwondo. He can knock you out with just one punch!
Really? Bring him to me then!
After speaking, Tang Hao turned around and gently patted Yaners head. Dont be sad, Yaner. Those girls are envious of you! The more people envy you, the more outstanding you are!
Yaner was feeling a little down, though she mumbled a reply.
Being able to return to school was supposed to be a happy occasion. It was a little upsetting to encounter such an event on her first day back at school.
Tang Hao took the shopping bags from the little three-wheeled motorcycle with both of his hands.
The three girls were shocked when they saw that.
The brands were clearly emblazoned in the middle of each bag. Those were all famous name brands. Some of them were even considered luxury items.
Haha, these poor people are acting rich! Theyre all bootlegs! Xie Li immediately mocked them.
Shi Yaner lived in a mountain village, and the boy looked like a peasant laborer. They could never afford even a single piece of something so expensive.
One of the girls standing next to her looked extremely shocked.
She pulled Xie Li to her and whispered in her ear, Lili, thats thats all genuine. I can recognize them.
Xie Li was stunned. For a while, she did not give a reply.
That That cant be possible! You must be wrong!
How can I be wrong? Ive bought some of those brands too, and I can recognize the bags just by one look. Theyre carrying so many bags, they mustve come from Sky City Plaza.
Xie Li was utterly dumbstruck when she heard that.
She looked at Yaner again, then at the shabby little three-wheeled motorcycle, and finally at Tang Hao.
No matter how she looked, the boy did not look rich at all!
