After rebirth, I gave up Bai Yueguang

Seeing that more and more people gathered at the school gate, many students who had heard the whole story began to tell the people who gathered behind them what had happened.

Su Jing heard more and more discussions, and almost all of them were accusing her or mocking her.

"I didn't expect that the school beauty would be such a person. She was studying hard at school all day and ignored everyone. It turns out that she was secretly out..."

"Hey, hey, be quiet. Don't let her hear it. I heard she has a bad temper and will hit you if you provoke her."

"Hey, her mother said she didn't know where the money for her school came from, and she won't let us talk about it?"

"Could there be another reason? I see that her cousin, the school idol, is very kind to her. What if her tuition is paid by his family?"

"That's a possibility, but her mother said it herself, so I guess she's not a good person, right?"

There were all kinds of comments, and occasionally one or two would be slightly more pertinent, but there was no kindness in anyone's tone.

The sky was almost dark, and the wind grew stronger as night approached. Su Jing's face felt painful as if her skin was cracked by the cold winter wind, and her heart felt empty and cold as if the cold wind had penetrated into it.

Her biological mother had always loved to scold and beat her in public, insulting her with the most unpleasant words, as if this would make her obedient and tame.

Su Jing sneered and looked around, then her gaze returned to the face of Su's mother in front of her: "If you have nothing to say, I'm leaving." After saying that, she ignored the crowd of onlookers and the stunned Su's mother, and did not turn around. Instead, she walked straight past her to the side of the street to get a taxi.

Mother Su hadn't expected her to not argue or protest this time. She simply waited for her to finish and then left. She punched the cotton and turned around, stunned, following Su Jing's figure. She watched her stand on the street, and it took her a few seconds to react.

She shouted, "Stop!" Then she quickly caught up with Su Jing and grabbed her schoolbag. "Come home with me and we'll talk."

Su Jing slowly turned around, her eyes calm. "If you want to say something, just say it here. Don't you always like to humiliate me in front of everyone? There are so many people here now, so if you want, you can slap me twice more."

"You..." Mother Su was choked by her words, unable to think of what to say next. She had never realized that her behavior would cause harm to a child, a girl.

In her mind, she is a mother and can discipline her child however she wants. If her child makes a mistake, she needs more people to know about it, more people will condemn her, and she will lose face in front of everyone. Only then will she stop making mistakes and stop talking back to her parents.

However, Su's mother forgot that the girl in front of her was no longer a child of a few years old, but an 18-year-old girl who had just reached adulthood. The daughter who had remained silent even when beaten in public had long since grown up. She had originally thought that the daughter was just throwing a tantrum and would have to go out for a few days and then come home to ask for tuition. But now, the daughter had not returned home for a year, and she had not starved to death. She had even paid for her own tuition and was taking art classes outside.

Originally, they thought that if they didn't give her money, Su Jing would have to go home and bow to them. In that case, they could ask her to go to a vocational school and go out to earn money earlier; or she could stop studying and find a job directly. That would be even better. Not only would she save three years of tuition, but she could also help the family earlier.

But now, everything is completely different from what she expected. The look in her daughter's eyes when she looks at her is full of strangeness and disappointment, without any trace of affection.

When the crowd saw that the protagonists had left, they dispersed, and only a few students who were heading in the same direction were still following them from a distance.

As the two of them were in a stalemate, a motorcycle suddenly stopped beside Su Jing, bringing up a stronger gust of wind. Because Su Jing had stepped off the sidewalk and was standing on the road, the motorcycle brushed against her arm when it stopped, which scared Su Jing.

Su Jing and her mother were both startled and looked at the motorcycle. Su Jing was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. She was about to curse when she heard the motorcyclist taking off his helmet and saying, "Don't curse, don't curse, it's me, it's me."

The curse that was about to come out of her mouth was stopped abruptly. Su Jing waited for him to take off his helmet to see who it was.

"It's me," Rao Jian's face emerged from the helmet and he smiled at Su Jing. Then he turned to greet Su's mother, "Auntie."

Rao Jian, her, and Jiang Yi were all classmates in elementary school. Back then, they'd been together almost every day, skipping classes and playing games. Even in junior high, due to district separation, they went to separate schools, but they still often skipped classes to play together. In this life, Jiang Yi, for some reason, paid to attend the same school as Su Jing, so they weren't hanging out together all the time.

His family owned a noodle shop. When Su Jing was in elementary school, she had a good relationship with all of them and would often go to his house for noodles. After junior high school, she heard that his family had opened another noodle shop and that business was booming.

Now, Su Jing glanced at the motorcycle next to her. Oh, it was a Honda. It seemed his family's business was doing well. In a previous life, this boy had always had a crush on her, but she only had eyes for Jiang Yi. Since he and Jiang Yi were good friends, he always stayed by her side and never confessed his feelings.

This life...

"I just passed by and saw a lot of people. What happened here just now?" Rao Jian asked. "I haven't seen you guys in a long time. It's a rare encounter. I heard Jiang Yi went to the same school as you?"

"Yeah," Su Jing didn't want to talk to him more here. Mother Su was next to her, and she was very cold.

"Oh, then you..."

Before Rao Jian could finish, Su Jing interrupted him and said, "I have to go back today. I have final exams next week and I need to review. Besides, I'm so cold. Find another time for you to meet Jiang Yi and we can talk again."

"Oh, okay, okay, do you want me to take you home?" Rao Jian smiled and patted the motorcycle beside him.

What a beautiful motorcycle! Su Jing really wanted to try it, but a gust of cold wind blew over, she shivered, and immediately changed her mind: "No, I will freeze to death if I sit on your bike in this wind." Su Jing hissed and blew hot air on her hands.

"That's right. I'll call Xiaoyi another day and we'll make an appointment. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Rao Jian was also very straightforward.

Su Jing looked at the other end of the road again. A taxi was parked right behind the motorcycle. Then the red light on the roof went out and turned green. She hurried over and waited beside it.

The passenger in the car was taking out money. After the driver gave the change, before the passenger opened the door, Su Jing directly opened the back seat door and got in.

Mother Su, who hadn't gotten a word in, was stunned again. She was just leaving her here like that and walking away. She was about to go forward and pull the car door, but the car had already started. Rao Jian saw her move and quickly reached out to grab her: "Auntie, it's dangerous!"

"Oh oh." Mother Su could only step back and watch the taxi drive away. She felt angry and anxious, with tears in her eyes.

"Auntie, you still remember me, right? I've been to your house a few times. What are you doing..."

Mother Su looked at him carefully and realized that she had indeed seen him before, so she forced a smile and said to Rao Jian, "I came to find her, but she was so cold and left without saying a word. You saw it too, what an unfilial daughter!" Her tone was aggrieved and resentful.

"Did something happen between you two?" Rao Jian asked.

"What could it be? Her brother took her money to play games, and it wasn't much, so she started making trouble with her family and has been away for a year."

"Ah?" Rao Jian was very surprised and widened his already small eyes.

"Thinking that she was living alone outside and didn't know how she was doing, I came to find her. But you see, this is how she treated me. She didn't show any good face and just left without saying a word. Alas..." Mother Su sighed heavily.

"How about we talk somewhere else?" Rao Jian shrank his neck due to the cold wind. He looked around and found that the onlookers had dispersed.

Not far away, there was a shop selling some kind of food. There was a transparent curtain hanging at the door, and it was already covered with moisture. It looked quite warm inside. He pointed there and said to Su's mother, "Let's go sit inside and talk. It's too cold on the street."

Mother Su, feeling utterly aggrieved, nodded and walked toward the store. Rao Jian started the car, pushed it onto the sidewalk, parked it next to a tree, locked it, and then walked over.

As he got closer, he could see that this shop sold xiaolongbao (small dumplings). As soon as he entered, a wave of steaming hot air filled his face. Rao Jian didn't speak to Su's mother first. Instead, he went straight to the counter and bought two baskets of dumplings and two bowls of porridge. He took them and sat down in front of Su's mother.

"Auntie, it's already past seven o'clock. Eat something first. It will warm you up." Rao Jian smiled at Su's mother.

"Okay, okay," Mother Su smiled awkwardly, still not recovering from the shock of Su Jing's cold departure.

"What's going on between you and Su Jing? How come it's so serious that she hasn't been home for a year?" Rao Jian didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Mother Su scooped a spoonful of hot porridge and drank it. Her body, which had been chilled by the cold outside, felt a little better. She unconsciously stirred the slightly hot porridge in the bowl, wondering whether she should say it out loud. Looking at Su Jing's expression just now, she had already seen hatred in her eyes after what she had said to her classmates. If she said it to her classmate again now...

She looked up at the boy across from her for a long moment. This boy had often come to Su Jing's house before, and she had seen him many times. It seemed they had a good relationship, and judging by the way he had just looked at Su Jing, it would be okay to talk to him, right? Su's mother hesitated.

"Auntie, you can tell me. Su Jing and I have always had a good relationship. Don't worry." Rao Jian saw the hesitation on her face and said with a smile.

"Oh, so that's the case. Okay then." Mother Su's expression relaxed as she thought about how to start the conversation.

After thinking for a while, Su's mother finally told the boy in front of her how Su Jing had a quarrel with her family, moved out of the house, and had not been home for more than a year.

But after all, every word and sentence implies that Su Jing is ignorant, doesn't know how to give in to her younger brother, is always nitpicking with her younger brother, and doesn't listen to her parents. Even though the family is in such a difficult situation now, she still insists on going to high school and taking the college entrance examination, and is unwilling to go to a cheap vocational high school and start working early to help the family, etc.

In short, there is no problem at home, all the problems are caused by Su Jing.
