The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness

Chapter 17

We Meet Again

Su Tang’s memory of Shi Man was still from the last time she hit those thugs in the factory. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t afraid, but Su Tang still had an inexplicable trust in Shi Man. As long as she didn’t provoke Shi Man, she wouldn’t do anything to her.

After confirming her thoughts, Su Tang mustered her courage and wanted to talk to Shi Man, but she was interrupted by a voice from behind.

“Xiaohan, it’s Shi Man. She’s a shameless woman who keeps pestering Cousin Song Zhi.”

“Aiyo, why isn’t she dressed like a pheasant today?” Fang Han sneered.

She and Yi Zheng’s cousin, Song Zhi, were good friends. She often attended some banquets with the Song family. Every time, Shi Man would dress inappropriately and become a joke at banquets.

In the past, Shi Man always came to please Song Zhi for Yi Zheng’s sake. Naturally, the people in their circle had always looked down on Shi Man and mocked her.

Su Tang heard them discussing Shi Man and glanced at her awkwardly.

Although Shi Man had always caused trouble for her in the past, she had not suffered any substantial harm after all. Moreover, Shi Man was a little jealous because her fiancé was living with another woman. Furthermore, Shi Man had saved her previously…

“They’re like that. Don’t take what they say to heart.” Su Tang hesitated for a moment before saying something comforting.

Of course, Shi Man didn’t take it to heart. In fact, she didn’t listen to what they were saying at all.

She was used to not having much private time. As such, she usually didn’t waste it on meaningless people. That was something she’d come to understand when she was an agent.

However, Shi Man was still a little surprised by Su Tang’s attitude towards her. After all, Shi Man had asked someone to kidnap Su Tang a few days ago. If Shi Man knew what Su Tang was thinking, she would definitely be very shocked and puzzled.

She did not understand how there could be such a pure and stupid person in this world. After being bullied, she even thought about how difficult it was for others.

“Yes,” Shi Man replied casually. She opened the book and started to compare it to the blackboard, not knowing what Su Tang was talking about.

Geng Hui had already started his lecture. This was a history lesson. She happened to be very interested in the history of this world and wanted to listen carefully.

Su Tang was a little relieved to see that Shi Man seemed keen to learn. Previously, Miss Shi had been pestering Brother Yi and finding trouble for her every day. Now that she was studying hard, it meant that she was still motivated.

Thinking that she still had to work part-time at night, Su Tang started to listen seriously.

Geng Hui, who was on the podium, was very touched by the two students’ longing for knowledge.

Other than Su Tang, no one had listened to his class seriously for a long time.

No, to be precise, only Su Tang listened to the class seriously. The others ignored him.

Although Cassel Academy was a school, it was essentially a service for the young masters and young ladies of the nobles. Even his salary was paid by the families of these young masters and young ladies. It was very difficult to discipline them.

However, as long as someone listened, Geng Hui would teach them seriously. Moreover, there were already two serious students now. He didn’t know if this Miss Shi was really different from the rumors on a whim, but this was no longer important!!

Geng Hui seemed to have been inspired and instantly perked up. He recounted the recent history of this country vividly.

However, there were still many students in the class. His mouth was no match for the dozens of mouths below.

As Shi Man was seated by the window, she could not hear what Geng Hui was saying. She turned to look at Su Tang, who was carefully taking notes. Shi Man was puzzled. “What did you hear Geng Hui say?”

“I can’t hear him,” said Su Tang, “but I can read lips.”

Shi Man was speechless when she saw Su Tang’s serious expression.

“I’m joking. I’m already used to it. I can learn from the blackboard and textbooks.” Su Tang tilted her head and revealed an innocent smile. Her cheeks were slightly pink, and her small canine teeth made her look even more exquisite and cute.

Shi Man looked at Su Tang’s smile and thought carefully about what she had done these past few days.

Were the two of them on good terms? Or was Su Tang a spontaneous friend?

No matter what, if this continued, she would not be able to listen to the class today.
