You're Talking Bullshit

"What happened?"

Zhao Feifei looked completely baffled. Wu Hao explained in a low voice, "Didn't our boss teach those pieces of trash from Set Sail Class a lesson this morning? Apparently, they were supposed to apologize publicly tomorrow and get a demerit. Well, they called in their parents to back them up, and now they're coming after our boss."

Zhao Feifei slammed the desk in fury. "Those little bastards!"

"Exactly!" Wu Hao slammed the desk in fury too. "Come on, let's go back up our boss!"

Meanwhile, in the grade office.

Zhou Ru looked every bit a wealthy lady, her makeup immaculate.

At noon, she had heard that Ji Chuxing had caused such a huge commotion at school and even been kicked out of Set Sail Class. She hadn't been able to sit still for a moment.

She just couldn't understand how that damned girl had become even more troublesome after waking from an illness. She had not only thrown the house into such chaos that even the chickens and dogs couldn't rest, but had also brought her troublemaking to school.

How dare she?

Did she think the Wen Family was her family, that it could cover for her after she'd gone so far?

If word got out and the other ladies learned that her, Zhou Ru's, daughter had been kicked out of Set Sail Class, how could she ever show her face?

Besides, Sun Han was Doctor Sun's son, and a doctor was the last person anyone should offend.

Zhou Ru was furious, but she maintained a gracious smile as she spoke to Mrs. Sun and the other parents of Sun Han and the class monitor. "Mrs. Sun, everyone, it really is my fault for failing to raise my daughter properly. This girl is utterly lawless. I'll make sure to discipline her when we get home and have her come to your homes in person to apologize to Young Master Sun and the other children. Mrs. Sun, for the sake of our families' acquaintance and cooperation, I hope you won't hold it too much against this little girl."

"I'm her mother, and I guarantee that nothing like this will ever happen again. Everything today was a misunderstanding. There's no way Young Master Sun will be made to apologize publicly, much less face something as ridiculous as disciplinary probation."

Only then did Mrs. Sun nod in satisfaction.

The Sun Family served as the Wen Family's family doctors, and she was Doctor Sun's wife. These days, doctors held a high place in society; no amount of money could necessarily buy a life. The Wen Family still had to rely on her, so was some little country girl worthy of having her son punished?

Zhou Ru couldn't let Ji Chuxing ruin the Wen Family's relationship with Doctor Sun. In all of South City, medical skills like Doctor Sun's were something one could only hope to come across. It was only because of the relationship Old Master Wen and Old Master Sun had shared back then that Doctor Sun had maintained his ties with the Wen Family all this time.

Mrs. Sun said, "It's not such a big deal. I know the girl came from the countryside and doesn't know any better. It's not your fault, Madam Wen. We'll let today's matter go, but as for Set Sail Class, neither I nor the other ladies will agree to let her return. With a student like her around, she might lead our children astray later."

Zhou Ru was furious. She wished Ji Chuxing would appear at once and kneel down to apologize on the spot, but things had come to this, and all she could do was give way and sacrifice Ji Chuxing to maintain the ties between the families.

Although the Wen Family had standing in South City, it wasn't among the very top families. Naturally, good relations with other families were a good thing; if relations soured, it would be her fault.

"Of course, Mrs. Sun. Don't worry. I'll make sure to discipline this girl and have her come to your home in person to apologize and beg Young Master Sun's forgiveness."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a girl's voice rang out, infuriating enough to kill without taking responsibility. "You're talking bullshit!"

Ji Chuxing had just arrived at the grade office when she heard those words. She scoffed and spat out a remark that nearly made Zhou Ru faint on the spot.

Even Teacher Huang was stunned. Classmate Ji looked like a little fairy, but she was pretty blunt when she cursed people out, huh?

But more than anything, he was angry.

He had gotten to the bottom of what had happened that morning and knew that Classmate Sun and the others were the ones in the wrong. She had thought Zhou Ru had come to stand up for Ji Chuxing.

Who would have thought she had come to apologize?

What was this supposed to be?

Apologize, even!

At his age, he had certainly seen something new.

Zhou Ru was now so furious at Ji Chuxing's "you're talking bullshit" that she nearly fainted.

She pointed at Ji Chuxing, her finger trembling. "You, you, what did you say?"

How could such vulgar words come out of her mouth?

Mrs. Sun's expression changed slightly. She glanced at the girl standing in the doorway and sneered. "A wild girl from the countryside, just as I thought. Such vulgar language. Madam Wen, I don't see the slightest sign that she intends to admit she was wrong."

Ji Chuxing was expressionless and didn't so much as glance at Mrs. Sun.

Of course, there was no fear on her face either.

Yet the girl's clear, cold gaze sent an inexplicable chill through the parents in the office who had held the upper hand just moments ago.

At that moment, Director Yan finally returned to the office after his meeting.

On the way, he had learned that the parents of the students on both sides had arrived at the office.

But he didn't know that Zhou Ru had come to apologize to the students who had done the bullying.

In fact, the matter could have been handled without involving the parents. As long as the students apologized publicly and behaved well for a time afterward, the school wouldn't really ruin promising students from Set Sail Class.

Unless they knew they were wrong but refused to change, making the same mistakes again and again.

Teacher Huang had originally wanted to say a few words in Ji Chuxing's defense, but when he saw Director Yan arrive, he held his tongue for the time being.

After Director Yan entered, the atmosphere in the office eased somewhat, but Mrs. Sun remained firm. "Director Yan, I originally didn't want to pursue this matter, but Ji Chuxing's attitude is simply too awful. I believe the school needs to increase her punishment to make an example of her."

Director Yan paused, then looked at Mrs. Sun and Sun Han standing behind him. "Mrs. Sun, have you perhaps gotten the facts wrong?"

Mrs. Sun was taken aback.

Zhou Ru continued, "Director Yan, Ji Chuxing really was in the wrong in this matter. Whatever punishment the school intends to give her, I, as her mother, have absolutely no objection."

Director Yan looked at Mrs. Sun and the others, then at Zhou Ru. His expression grew serious. "I did deal with Classmate Sun's bullying of Classmate Ji this morning. I originally thought it would be best to let the students resolve it themselves, but we ended up troubling you parents anyway. Since you're here, I can pass on the principal's decision. This matter is extremely serious. Classmate Sun's actions already constitute very serious campus violence, which is absolutely forbidden at South City No. 1 High School. So tomorrow morning, besides making a self-criticism, Classmate Sun and the others must leave Set Sail Class. They can only rejoin Set Sail Class if they place in the top forty-five on next month's exam."

Mrs. Sun froze, as did Zhou Ru.

"No." Mrs. Sun pointed at Ji Chuxing in disbelief. "Director, we're the victims."

Director Yan snorted coldly. "Victims? Mrs. Sun, I'm afraid you still don't know exactly what Classmate Sun has been doing at school."

With that, he brought up the video from that morning.

As Mrs. Sun and Zhou Ru looked on in shock, Director Yan continued, "Not only that, but I investigated carefully afterward. Classmate Sun often bullies students whose grades aren't as good as his and verbally abuses them. This cannot be tolerated. It must be dealt with severely, and it will also serve as a warning to others."

Director Yan had barely finished when a mocking voice came from outside the office. "Dumbasses!"

Zhao Feifei led Class Sixteen straight into the director's office and unleashed a torrent of abuse at Zhou Ru. "You're our God Ji's mom? What kind of fucking mom are you? You came running to apologize without even knowing what happened. What, are you addicted to apologizing? Addicted to being a bootlicker? Someone like you must be sick in the head, lady!"

Zhao Feifei's words nearly made Zhou Ru faint with rage. "You, you, you, you..."

"You, you, you, you what?" Zhao Feifei pulled Ji Chuxing behind her, then raised her chin and looked at Mrs. Sun. "And you, don't you know what kind of trash your son is? Who in our wealthy circles doesn't know? And you've got the nerve to talk about our God Ji. He's a little bastard!"

Zhao Feifei didn't hold back in the slightest. The two wealthy ladies in the office, accustomed to putting on airs, couldn't manage a single word in rebuttal.

Zhao Feifei grabbed Ji Chuxing. "God Ji, let's go!"

Wu Hao trotted eagerly after them, copying Zhao Feifei and calling her God Ji, though he had no idea why either. "Don't worry. Our entire Class Sixteen will always have your back."

Ji Chuxing looked back at Director Yan without giving Zhou Ru so much as a glance. "Director Yan, I'll be going. Sorry for the trouble."

The office was as quiet as a chicken, and Mrs. Sun and the others, along with Zhou Ru, were all furious.

Teacher Huang gave an embarrassed laugh. "These children are really out of line. I'll be sure to discipline them when I get back!"

Teacher Huang walked away happily, his hands clasped behind his back.

Just as he had said, the children in Class Sixteen were all good kids, and they stuck together.

The sort of nasty business that had happened in Set Sail Class could never happen in Class Sixteen. They were all loyal kids.

As expected of students taught by him, Huang Hongfei!

After leaving the director's office, Zhao Feifei comforted Ji Chuxing. "God Ji, they're all dumbasses. Don't worry. Director Yan is a famous King of Hell. He's the only person in all of South City No. 1 High School who won't bow to power. They won't miss out on a single punishment they deserve."

Ji Chuxing shook her head. "It's fine. By the way, let me borrow your phone for a moment."

"Here!" Zhao Feifei readily handed it to her.

Ji Chuxing nodded and tapped away on Zhao Feifei's phone for just over twenty seconds before handing it back. Zhao Feifei casually asked, "God Ji, what did you do?"

Ji Chuxing said calmly, "Sent a message."

"Oh."
