It was supposed to be just another peaceful day, following the usual routine, repeating the same mundane tasks. The mission she had been waiting for was still nowhere in sight.
During the morning break, Zhu Yaya was about to head upstairs to Class Seventeen of the sophomore year, just like she always did. But the moment she stood up from her seat, an aggressive middle-aged woman suddenly stormed into the classroom.
The woman scanned the room, her voice trembling with immense anger as she demanded, Who is Zhu Yaya?
Zhu Yaya froze. Was this woman looking for her?
But she had never seen this lady before in her life!
After a brief moment of hesitation, she spoke up, That is me.
As soon as the words left her mouth, the middle-aged woman's eyes locked onto Zhu Yaya like a target.
Spotting her prey, the woman marched straight toward Zhu Yaya. Her eyebrows were knitted tightly together, and her eyes shot out glares as sharp as daggers.
Intimidated by the woman's fierce aura, Zhu Yaya felt a wave of unease. Ma'am, is there something I can help you with?
Instead of an answer, Zhu Yaya was met with a resounding slap across the face and a harsh screech, You homewrecker!
Zhu Yaya had not expected the woman to get physical. Caught completely off guard, the sudden slap struck her so hard that her mind went entirely blank.
A dead silence fell over the entire classroom.
One side of Zhu Yaya's face immediately swelled up! Her cheek burned with a fiery pain, and the skin that had been struck felt completely numb.
Ever since Zhu Yaya had transmigrated into this novel, she had been pampered like a precious jewel by Zhu Jianjun and Zhao Jing. She had never been hit by anyone, let alone humiliated in front of an entire crowd.
A sour feeling crept up her nose, and tears spilled from her eyes uncontrollably. Large, heavy drops tumbled down, splashing onto the back of her hand.
She knew that crying would not solve anything and that she needed to put up a tough front, but she simply could not stop the tears. Since when had she become so fragile?
Her desk-mate, Xu Baoying, was equally shocked that this random intruder had slapped her best friend without a second thought. She slammed her hands onto the desk and shot up from her seat. Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to barge into our class and hit people! Class President, hurry up and get a teacher!
The class president, as if suddenly jolted awake from a dream, bolted out of the classroom to fetch a teacher.
Gu Tao, the sports representative, leaped up from his seat in the back row and positioned himself firmly in front of Zhu Yaya. Who are you? Why are you attacking people!
So what if I hit her? A toxic vixen like her deserves to be beaten! The middle-aged woman sneered, her eyes filled with absolute contempt. I am teaching her a good lesson on behalf of her mother!
Even after saying that, she still looked like she wanted to take another swing at Zhu Yaya. Fortunately, Gu Tao had a sturdy build and acted as a solid shield. Still, the woman refused to give up, acting as though she was ready to fight Zhu Yaya to the death.
Xu Baoying rushed out from behind her desk, trying to pull the middle-aged woman away, but she simply did not have the physical strength.
A few other boys from the class quickly stepped forward, grabbing hold of the woman as she desperately lunged forward.
Unable to break free, the middle-aged woman's eyes darted around. Suddenly, she started wailing at the top of her lungs, What a sin! These educated boys are molesting me! Help! Molestation!
Xu Baoying stared at the barrel-waisted woman in absolute disbelief. Was this lady out of her mind? Who in their right mind would ever try to molest her!
The kind-hearted boys holding her back, along with Gu Tao, were completely dumbfounded.
They were all handsome, energetic young men. Why would any of them want to harass this older woman! Who on earth gave her that kind of courage and blinding overconfidence?
Gu Tao was quick on his feet. Raising his voice to a high-pitched shriek, he yelled back, Ah! Help! A crazy lady is molesting innocent high school boys!
The entire classroom instantly erupted into roars of laughter. The middle-aged woman's face twisted into an incredibly ugly expression, her eyes looking as if they were about to shoot actual flames.
Taking advantage of Gu Tao's momentary distraction, she lunged past his right side, launching a sneak attack straight at Zhu Yaya.
Xu Baoying noticed the woman's sudden movement and screamed, Watch out!
But it was already too late.
