Side Character Transmigrations: The Final Boss is No Joke

Chapter 10



Xu Chengyue was studying in a Business course. After all, she was the only child of the Xu family so she would be the one inheriting all the shares in their company in the future so this course was pretty much a necessity.

Perhaps it was because she had inherited her father’s talent for business, for Xu Chengyue’s grades didn’t drop despite spending all her time chasing after Nangong Jing.

As there weren’t many classes around the start of school, Shi Sheng began looking for a place to rent. However, all the nearby available places had already been rented out and if it was too far away she might as well just move back home. Without a suitable choice, Shi Sheng could only set aside this plan for now.

Hence the idle Shi Sheng could only read books all day. Those who knew her simply thought that she had received a blow from her engagement with Nangong Jing being annulled and resorted to studying like mad to vent.

However, only Shi Sheng herself knew that she was reading a gay porn.

Ever since that night, Xia Ning and An’an excluded Shi Sheng even more. And under Su Yiyi’s guidance (intentional or not), Shi Sheng’s image turned into that of a gold-digging mistress.

“Yiyi, are you going to the ball this weekend?” An’an asked as she returned from outside. Seeing Shi Sheng here, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“En, Senior Ling invited me.” Su Yiyi smiled and nodded.

Although Ling Hao had already entered a company, it was just as an intern so his time was still mostly spent in school. After all, Su Yiyi was here. As a loyal protector, how could he leave her alone?

Every year when school re-opened, there were two evening parties. One where anyone could enter while the other could only be entered by those who had an invitation.

Frankly speaking, one was prepared for the students of normal family standing, just like an orientation welcome party. The other, meanwhile, was prepared for those of the elite social class. Only those who received the invitation could attend and each person who did could invite someone else along with them.

“So, you’re going to the West auditorium and not with Ning’ning and I?” An’an’s gaze revealed envy, and even some jealousy since she and Ning’ning could only attend the ball at the South auditorium.

Su Yiyi smiled embarrassedly. “Senior Ling invited me and I couldn’t just refuse him...”

An’an waved her hand, “Senior Ling is a great person, Yiyi, you have to hold on tightly to him. I heard his family’s standing isn’t bad.”

Su Yiyi’s face turned even redder as she muttered something inaudible.

‘Female lead-sama, why are you blushing?! Do you still remember your true love, male lead-sama?!’

Shi Sheng silently flipped a page of her porn book.

“Yiyi, there’s a delivery for you.” Xia Ning opened the door and placed the package she was holding on Su Yiyi’s bed. “This package is so big, just what did you buy?”

Su Yiyi shook her head innocently. “I didn’t buy anything.”

“Open it up and have a look.”

An’an pushed Su Yiyi over. Su Yiyi could only open the package in front of them.

“Heavens, what a beautiful gown!” An’an gasped as she lifted it from the package.

The gown’s main colour was white and it came with a belt. A red pattern was sewn on the skirt portion which attracted the eyes.

“It was probably sent by Senior Ling, right? No wonder he’s the idol everyone wants to get married to! I’m so envious of you Yiyi...”

Su Yiyi smiled. Pride was practically leaking out of her eyes, especially when she looked at Shi Sheng. This gown wasn’t sent by Ling Hao since he had already given one to her last night which she had accepted.

“Xu Chengyue, don’t you ride around in luxury cars all day? Aren’t you going to the ball this weekend?” Once An’an had finished expressing her envy for Su Yiyi, she couldn’t help but point the gun back at Shi Sheng.

Seeing Shi Sheng ignoring her, she continued scoffing, “What, don’t you have anyone willing to take you? Don’t be jealous of our Yiyi. How would a person like you have any qualifications to attend that kind of ball?”

“An’an, Chengyue will definitely be able to go, don’t gossip.”

Xu Chengyue hadn’t attended these balls for the past two years so Su Yiyi wasn’t clear whether Shi Sheng had an invitation or not. Hence she stopped An’an.

“Chet, as long as she doesn’t use under-handed methods to get one.”

“Excuse me but is fellow student Xu Chengyue here?” A petite girl knocked on the door before peeking inside.

“What’s the matter?” Shi Sheng got up and walked to the girl who examined her closely, probably verifying her identity.

Once she was done with her examination, she passed the bag she was holding over to Shi Sheng, “Sis Weiwei told me to give this to you.”

Shi Sheng didn’t receive it as she furrowed her brows while asking, “Xiao Wei?”

The girl nodded.

“Is there something wrong with her brain?”

The girl was stupefied and she froze before hurriedly speaking, “I’ve done my task so I’ll just go now.”

And she made off after setting the bag down in front of Shi Sheng.

Shi Sheng bent over to pick the bag up when An’an furiously charged over to Shi Sheng and smacked the bag out of her hands, causing it to fall on the floor. “You’re in cahoots with Xiao Wei!”

The bag fell to the floor, revealing its contents.

There were clothes inside that seemed similar in style to Su Yiyi. An’an took it out. Apart from the size, it was pretty much exactly the same as Su Yiyi’s.

“Xu Chengyue, just how has Yiyi provoked you that you joined hands with Xiao Wei to harm her?”

“Chengyue... You and Xiao Wei...” Su Yiyi’s expression was filled with shock, as if she had just discovered something unthinkable.

“With such an imagination, you guys can go write stories.” Xiao Wei probably got to know what dress Su Yiyi had from somewhere and so specially sent this to make her uncomfortable. Or scare her, depending on how active her imagination was.

“Xu Chengyue, just what are you planning? If you don’t explain it properly you’re not leaving this room!” An’an then turned her head to face Su Yiyi and said in a soothing voice, “Yiyi don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”

Finding it funny, Shi Sheng looked at the two like they were idiots.

“What are you laughing at? This is the school. I’m telling you right now Xu Chengyue, don’t think that just because you seduced a backer you can do whatever you want. You’re just used goods!”

Pa!

An’an was stunned by the sudden slap and only reacted after a long moment.

“You hit me!” Her family was considered pretty well off and her parents had never hit her before but now this slut dared to hit her!

“Keep your mouth clean. Su Yiyi, leash your person properly, don’t let her out to shame herself.” Shi Sheng shook her hand.

‘Leash properly?! This slut is taking me for a dog?!’

“Xu Chengyue, you slut, I’ll kill you!”

An’an cursed as she pounced towards Shi Sheng who nimbly dodged her and then tripped her for good measure. Losing her balance, An’an knocked Su Yiyi, who had been planning on breaking up the fight, over. This caused Su Yiyi’s forehead to slam onto a table leg.

Su Yiyi drew a sharp intake of cold air. That collision caused her head to feel dizzy.

An’an hurriedly helped Su Yiyi up. “Yiyi, Yiyi are you okay?”

Xia Ning, who had so far kept her distance, rushed over as well. “Your forehead is bleeding. An’an, quick help Yiyi up.”

They hadn’t closed the door just now so the commotion had caused someone to call the teacher in charge. This teacher brought a few students into the room causing the fairly spacious room to become a bit crowded.

“What’s the problem over here?” The supervising teacher made a stern face and asked in a severe tone, “Why are you fighting in the dormitory?”

“Teacher, we weren’t fighting. It was Xu Chengyue who pushed Yiyi on purpose, causing Su Yiyi to be injured.” An’an immediately spoke. “Look, Yiyi’s head is injured.”

Translator’s Corner:

I don’t usually use the onomatopoeias given in the raws unless it sounds better to leave it or I have no idea what the sound is. In the case above, it’s the former.

I don’t know what gender the teacher is but from a logical point of view it should be a female one since this is the girl’s dormitory. Also, An’an you bitch.

The supervising teacher looked over at Su Yiyi and saw the swelling on her forehead. She furrowed her brows and asked, “Su Yiyi, who was the one who pushed you?”

Su Yiyi cowered as she used her peripheral gaze to look at Shi Sheng before shaking her head. “Nobody, I tripped on my own.”

Such an obvious attempt at ‘covering up’ was instantly seen through by the teacher. “Don’t lie. Was she the one who pushed you?”

Su Yiyi had always given her the impression of being a good girl who got along with everyone. The other girl on the other hand, was more of a loner who didn’t seem easy to get along with. She had even seen that girl being fetched by a luxurious car and come back with different clothing. ‘I’ve seen many of these kinds of students.’

Thinking thus, it wasn’t a surprise the teacher was naturally inclined to be biased in favour of Su Yiyi.

“No, it wasn’t...” Su Yiyi still attempted to explain.

“Yiyi, why are you covering for her? Teacher it was her, Xia Ning and I can act as witnesses.”

Xia Ning hesitated a bit before getting upset at Shi Sheng when she saw she was still acting like this matter didn’t concern her, hence she nodded.

“What’s your name?” The teacher looked at Shi Sheng. Her attitude clearly expressed she believed An’an and Su Yiyi.

“Xu Chengyue.” Shi Sheng gazed at Su Yiyi with eyes that seemed to be smiling. That gaze caused Su Yiyi to feel uncomfortable. However, upon thinking that she didn’t have any evidence to support her side of the story she calmed down.

“Student Xu Chengyue, for getting into a fight with other students and causing them to be injured, you’re punished to sweep the grounds for a week. Any objections?”

“Are you just going to believe their one-sided story?” Shi Sheng raised her brow. ‘This teacher only listened to Su Yiyi’s side of the story before accusing me, she’s clearly helping Su Yiyi out.’

The teacher’s expression darkened for a moment. She had just planned on punishing her a bit but this damned girl hadn’t caught on.

“With two other students having personally witnessed it, what is there to argue? As a student you’d best behave like one and not think unrealistically all day. This society is very complex. You think that with just your little schemes you can become successful?”

Shi Sheng’s expression turned frosty. “What do you mean?”

“You know what you’ve done, you still dare to ask.” An’an mockingly replied.

Su Yiyi’s face was filled with grievance but her eyes betrayed the triumph she was feeling. ‘Even if it’s not true, with this many people saying the same thing, who cares whether it’s true or not.’

Quite a few people were gathered outside the doorway and upon hearing these words began discussing amongst themselves in low voices.

“A few days ago, I saw her get on a Porsche. Sometimes I even see a car waiting at the gates to fetch her. Do you think she’s being kept?”

“I wasn’t there that day so I didn’t see it. But I heard plenty of people talking about it.”

“I haven’t heard anything about her family being rich!”

“Why would a rich family’s kid be staying in the school, are you dumb? Look at those rich kids and tell me which one of those isn’t driving their own car around?”

“...She couldn’t really be someone’s mistress, could she?”

The teacher, hearing the discussions, didn’t stop them but instead grew even more bold. “Student Xu Chengyue, your actions reflect badly on your moral character. I will report back to the school and carry out due punishment.”

“If you didn’t want anyone to know you shouldn’t have done it in the first place.” An’an got even more arrogant.

“I am returning those words to you.” Shi Sheng turned around and headed for the desk, picking up a toy that was placed there. “My deepest apologies but this is a new toy I got recently which just so happens to have the ability of preserving an hour’s worth of footage. Let’s go over to Headmaster and have him judge so it’s fairer.”

Su Yiyi’s face paled. ‘She actually recorded what happened just now. We said she pushed me when it was actually An’an, if she goes to the Headmaster, my name will be ruined! No... I can’t let her go to the Headmaster!’

Shi Sheng seemed to have made up her mind though as she had already made her way through the doorway. “Follow us to the Headmaster’s office, teacher. You were slandering me just now. I believe the Headmaster will give me a satisfactory answer.”

“Chengyue, it was just a small matter there’s no need to make such a fuss.” Su Yiyi stopped Shi Sheng.

“A small matter? The three of you conspiring to frame me and this teacher slandering me... is a small matter?”

“Chengyue... I-” An’an wanted to end the matter peacefully right now too. Clearly, she hadn’t expected Shi Sheng to have a recording. Compared to fighting, framing someone was far more serious and damaging to someone’s reputation for it became a question of their moral character.

The teacher was feeling a bit hesitant. After all, she really didn’t have any evidence whatsoever that Shi Sheng was being kept as someone’s mistress. Slandering a student could get her fired. This thought caused the teacher to block the doorway.

“Student Xu Chengyue, there’s no need to bother the Headmaster for this. It was you who pushed Student Su Yiyi first so if you just apologize this whole matter can be forgotten.”

Shi Sheng didn’t continue wasting her breath with them as she took out her phone and dialled a number. “Lawyer Wang, come over to the school for a bit. Yes I am in the dormitory just come on over.”

Shi Sheng hung up before giving up on trying to head out, instead pulling up a chair to have a seat.

The teacher’s face turned green. ‘She actually called a lawyer!’ The people outside looked at each other. ‘This development is a bit strange!’

To be able to so calmly call a lawyer, it was either that the person keeping her was very influential or she really hadn’t done those things.

Lawyer Wang arrived very quickly. He squeezed through the layers of onlooking female students, his inner thoughts went something like: ‘( ̄△ ̄;) Now this is called passing through ten thousand flower bushes!’

After having used a monumental effort to enter the dormitory room, he straightened his somewhat crooked glasses before walking to Shi Sheng. “Miss Xu.”

The people outside were all stunned. ‘A lawyer really did come...’

Shi Sheng nodded before passing the object in her hand over and used a calm and regulated voice to recount what happened.

Lawyer Wang pushed up his spectacles and after some consideration, spoke to the teacher and Su Yiyi’s trio. “These three students attempted to frame my client for pushing this student, causing her injury. According to the People’s Republic of China’s State Administration of Law, they can be detained for a minimum of 5 days and a maximum of 10. This teacher having slandered my client’s reputation...”

Of course, this matter wasn’t as serious as Lawyer Wang made it out to be though that didn’t stop him from exaggerating a bit. After all, it was written in black and white on the law. If they didn’t believe him, they could go find another lawyer to ask.

Su Yiyi’s trio couldn’t outclass a lawyer of course. Right now, they could only stand there with pale faces and no clue what to do.

And just as they were listening to the lawyer rattling on, the Headmaster had finally caught wind and arrived. A lawyer had already been called, how could he not know?

“Alright that’s enough, stop crowding around here and disperse back to your rooms.” The Headmaster arrived, dispersing the gathered crowd.

The Headmaster had already found out what happened before arriving so he rebuked the offending teacher before dismissing her in front of Shi Sheng.

The Headmaster then apologised to Shi Sheng very sincerely. After all, they were in the wrong first so even if he was asked to compensate he wouldn’t find it too much. If this matter was to be blown up, it would be detrimental for the school’s reputation.

As for Su Yiyi and Co., they were brought away by him. He made it clear she would give her a satisfactory result.

Once they were out of the dormitory building, the Headmaster scolded the teacher who had come over to inform him. “I told you people to remember who were the ones with influential backgrounds but what happened? This time we only met with Xu Chengyue but what if we meet Xiao Wei next time? This school will flipped upside down!”

That teacher was feeling rather aggrieved inwardly. ‘Why would we have to remember Xiao Wei’s type? Their entire presence practically screams ‘I’m a rich kid!”
