Chapter 23: The New School Belle

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Huo Man said she was going to school, but she had actually slept the entire morning.

However, the teachers didn’t care about her either. She didn’t know if it was because she was the heir to the Huo family’s fortune, or because the teachers and some of her classmates treated her like a country bumpkin.

When it was time for lunch, Shen Tuo and his Lackey, Lu Jie, sat in the canteen for lunch. Lu Jie kept talking to Shen Tuo about Huo Man. “Boss, do you think Huo Man is more beautiful or Huo Yan is more beautiful?”

Shen Tuo took a bite of the chicken leg and rolled his eyes. He did not respond to Lu Jie.

Lu Jie was already used to Shen Tuo’s eye-rolling, so he mumbled to himself, “In my opinion, Huo Man mei is the better choice. I heard a lot of people say that Huo Man can replace Huo Yan. Boss, how does it feel to sit with the new campus Belle?”

“Will you die if you don’t talk when you’re eating?” Shen Tuo said coldly.

Lu Jie immediately shut up and stopped himself from talking with two mouthfuls of rice.

Coincidentally, Huo Yan was sitting not far away from them. She heard their conversation and was so angry that she wanted to break the chopsticks in her hand.

Before Huo Man arrived, Huo Yan had been the center of attention.

No matter where she went, she would attract everyone’s attention and was the envy of all the girls in the school.

But now, Huo Man had stolen the glory that belonged to her.

Today, Huo Yan could hear people talking about Huo Man everywhere.

Everyone was comparing Huo man to Huo Yan, and most of them were praising Huo Man while trampling on Huo Yan.

The more Huo Yan thought about it, the angrier she got. She just wanted Huo Man to embarrass herself and be despised by the whole school.

Speaking of the devil, Huo Man coldly walked into the cafeteria under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

She accepted the gazes from all directions, regardless of whether they were good or bad.

These emotions were meaningless to her.

Huo Man went to the window of the cheapest canteen, picked one meat and two vegetables, took a plate, sat on a chair, and buried her head in her food.

She just wanted to finish her meal quickly and go back to the classroom to sleep.

However, there was someone who did not want her to eat properly.

A shadow covered her body. A girl with dyed blonde hair and two other girls walked to her side and sneered, “Yo! Wasn’t this the country bumpkin? Our school’s standards are really getting lower and lower. They even accept such students!”

“Yeah! Even I feel unlucky to study with such a person! I heard that she’s a jinx! You jinxed your own grandmother to death!”

“Tsk, the school is not doing anything. Let us teach you a lesson!”

Huo Man ignored the girls and continued to eat quietly.

Seeing that Huo Man was unmoved, the leading girl became even angrier. She directly dumped the leftovers in her bowl onto Huo Man’s plate.

“Country bumpkins don’t deserve to eat these exquisite things. They should only eat leftovers.” The girl and her minions laughed together.

The other students in the cafeteria saw the commotion and watched from afar, but no one was willing to help Huo Man.

This yellow-haired girl was called Sang Yue, and she had always been able to do whatever she wanted in Jiali Middle School. She was like a female version of Shen Tuo, and no one was willing to provoke her.

Huo Man had never been the type to cause trouble, but since these people had come to her door, she didn’t want to let them go.

“Are you guys done?” Huo Man lowered her head, her voice as cold as ice.

Sang Yue felt an inexplicable chill, but in her eyes, Huo Man was just a little girl who had just come to the city. Even if she inherited the Huo family’s fortune, it didn’t change her identity as a country bumpkin. So, she continued to show off in front of Huo Man. “What? Did I say something wrong? If you didn’t use some unknown means to inherit the family property, you wouldn’t even be able to enter our school’s gate!”

As soon as Sang Yue finished her sentence, Huo Man stood up and flipped over the plate in front of her. The soup splashed all over Sang Yue, leaving an ugly stain on her.

“Huo Man! You don’t know what’s good for you!” Sang Yue didn’t expect that Huo Man would dare to retaliate. She was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Huo Man.

However, Huo Man grabbed Sang Yue’s hand and gave her a tight slap.
