Chapter 260: Shocking Beauty That Amazes The Whole Room (Part 4)

"Mom! Those are the top ten classics! A whole ten books! Asking me to memorize all of them, isn’t that a joke?"

At these words, Shen Minjie’s facial expression changed, and she said with some frustration, "If others can do it, why can’t you? Are you missing an arm or a leg? Besides, it’s not just my idea, but also that of the Ninth Lady. Are you going to disappoint her?"

Upon hearing the mention of the Ninth Lady, the girl ceased arguing instantly and obediently said, "Okay, Mom, I understand. Go ahead and buy them, I certainly won’t disappoint the Ninth Lady."

Apart from her mother, the Ninth Lady was like a second set of parents. In front of the Ninth Lady, she had no right to say no.

It’s just the top ten classics, isn’t it?

If Chu Jin could do it, so could she!

"That’s my good girl," Shen Minjie nodded with satisfaction, "Alright, I’m off to buy them now. You just wait here."

"Mom," the girl called out to Shen Minjie’s retreating figure once more.

This time, Shen Minjie was somewhat impatient, "What is it now?"

The girl swallowed, pleading softly, "Mom, I’m hungry, could you let me eat something first?"

Shen Minjie frowned slightly, "Didn’t you just eat this morning? How are you hungry again?"

The girl sounded slightly exasperated, "It’s already noon! Besides, this morning you only let me have half a bowl of thin porridge."

Considering she hadn’t eaten much the previous evening, she was already starving.

Now her legs were starting to feel weak.

"If you’re hungry, drink water," Shen Minjie said, glancing at the girl followed by a more earnest tone, "Don’t blame Mom, this is for your own good. Even though you’ve undergone liposuction, the doctor said there’s still a chance of rebounding if you don’t control your appetite. Let yourself be hungry, and your stomach will shrink. Only when your food intake reduces can you maintain your figure. Look at others’ bodies, then look at yours."

Hearing her mother’s words, the girl slowly lowered her gaze.

She sighed softly and then said, "Okay, Mom, I understand. Please go buy the books."

Even though her current condition was truly uncomfortable and hard to bear.

But what could she do about it?

She had chosen this path herself, and since she had chosen it, there was no turning back.

Moreover, she believed that as long as she persevered, she would eventually see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Her future would be bright.

A life of splendor and glory.

**

South Bridge No. 2 Middle School.

The girl on the stage was elegantly reciting the last segment of "The Red and the Black".

This was the last of the world’s top ten classics.

She had already smoothly recited the previous nine books.

With the sound of flowing water and jade stones, her beautiful voice lingered in everyone’s ears. Even if they didn’t understand what she was saying, just her enchanting voice alone was enough to be savored for a long while.

Nearly everyone’s face was filled with shock. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they probably would not have believed that an eighteen-year-old girl could recite the top ten classics of the world in their entirety!

Her experience, her insights, were richer than even those of an adult!

She was like a mysterious person with a veiled face, like an uncut gemstone. You could never guess what kind of surprises she would bring.

"It’s marvelous!"

From the silent audience, someone whispered in awe, bringing everyone back to their senses.

"So incredible; she’s really amazing. I simply can’t imagine how she managed to memorize the top ten classics of the world..."

What followed was a thunderous applause.

This applause was more enthusiastic and deafening with each wave, showing no signs of stopping.

The judges in the first row couldn’t contain their excitement and rose from their chairs, cheering and applauding for her.

Seeing the judges stand, all the students in the audience also rose to their feet.

Unlike the previous skepticism, this time they were genuinely astounded.

At the same time, the live streaming platforms on the internet exploded with activity.

Rows of comments flooded the entire mobile screen.

[Kneeling before the master!]

[I bow to the master!]

[Great God, please accept my knees!]

[Where’s that guy who said he’d do a live stream eating shit? Well, now he can start streaming.]

[The top ten classics of the world! Damn, is this person even human? Ahhh! I haven’t even finished reading the Four Great Classical Novels of China!]

[The little girl studies well, she’ll definitely be a pillar of the nation in the future! Just don’t get in her way.]

[I’ve heard that the brain structure of this kind of person is different from a normal person’s. I really want to pry open her skull and take a look!]

[Hahahaha, just want to ask those who questioned her for plagiarizing, does your face hurt?]

[Am I the only one who thinks the principal should step down?]

[I don’t know why but I just dislike the girl standing next to the big shot, she doesn’t have any skills herself, and yet she babbles on and on. She even asked the school to expel the big shot before, I think she’s the one who should be expelled!]

[Pfft! You don’t have culture yourself, and you even stop others from being cultured!]

In a short time, the phrase "You don’t have culture yourself, and you even stop others from being cultured" practically flooded the screen.

Lin Xiaoyue watched all of this, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, biting her lip as resentment and indignation filled the depths of her downcast eyes.

She never imagined that this piece of trash could... could... effortlessly recite the top ten classics!

She used to strut before Chu Jin with her excellent grades, thinking she could drive Chu Jin out of South Bridge No.2 Middle School with them!

What was her own achievement worth in front of someone who could speak four languages and easily memorize the top ten classics?

The limelight that belonged to her was completely overshadowed by this trash!

Now what? Was she just a clown jumping through hoops?

To think that she, the flower of the school, had fallen to the role of someone’s foil!

Ridiculous, it was just ridiculous!

Lin Xiaoyue’s tightly clenched hand began to sweat slightly.

No, she wouldn’t lose so easily.

Chu Jin was nothing but an orphan with no support, while she was a genuine heiress from a distinguished family.

So what if Chu Jin won this time?

She could still make her fall...

A pathetic creature with no one to rely on, no background, no connections, dares to compete with her?

Lin Xiaoyue took a deep breath, striving to calm herself. In this world, no one could surpass her; anyone who tried to block her path would be stepped on and crushed under her feet...

The applause lasted for three to four minutes before it finally ceased.

Chu Jin was very calm as she looked towards the principal, "Principal, can you now prove that my essay was not plagiarized?"

The principal licked his dry lips first, then gave a dry laugh, "Yes, of course, Chu, Chu Jin, your performance just now was really outstanding!"

What a joke! If this couldn’t prove she hadn’t plagiarized, then his position as the principal was done for.

The principal never expected that someone he had always looked down on, a nobody, could suddenly make such a drastic transformation!

Moreover, her ability was truly terrifying!

The principal adjusted the microphone, looking down at the cheering crowd, "Quiet down everyone, I now announce that Chu Jin did not commit plagiarism! It was all a misunderstanding!"

The crowd went silent for a few seconds, then cheers erupted again, especially Class 10, where the faces of those adolescent students were filled with exultation and excitement.

This was Class 10’s honor!

With the misunderstanding resolved, Chu Jin began walking down from the stage. Arriving in front of the Class 10 group, she stopped, looked at them earnestly, and then bowed deeply, her expression more solemn than her usual carefree demeanor, "Thank you all for your unwavering support and trust in such a situation. For today’s incident, I, Chu Jin, am deeply grateful!"

By the time she uttered those last four words, she slowly straightened up, her delicate chin lifted against the light, her features cool and detached.

"Oh my, Divine Doctor, you’re our class’s pride, it’s too serious to talk like that."

"Divine Doctor, you were so cool earlier, I’ve decided, from now on, you’re my only idol."

Listening to the words from below, Lin Xiaoyue found them extremely grating, a sense of humiliation engulfing her entire body.

The limelight that should have been hers was stolen by a piece of trash...

And just at this moment, the principal’s excited voice came through the speakers, "Chu Jin, don’t go yet! Our judging panel needs to rearrange the rankings for this speech competition."

Chu Jin, who had made it to the doorway, turned her head, her exquisite chin lifting gently, dimples subtly playing, "The ranking was never what I cared about."

Her clear voice traveled through the air and reached everyone’s ears, resonating profoundly.

She stood against the light.

Just standing there, her demeanor somewhat aloof.
