Chapter 19: What to Do About 19

At this moment, there weren’t many people left in the classroom. Wang Miaomiao looked at the girl in front of her and seriously said, "Gao, are you threatening me?"

The girl was clearly startled by her blunt question. "You..." Wait a minute, usually when she threatened girls and they heard who her brother was, they would immediately back down. Why wasn’t she scared?

"What’s your brother’s name again?" Wang Miaomiao looked into her eyes, fully assertive, and asked sternly, "What does he do? Where is he now?"

"Don’t you know who my brother is?" Gao Jianhong was a bit incredulous at her questioning. Her brother is the school disciplinary director; how could she not know?

She felt that the expression on Wang Miaomiao’s face was terrifying and unconsciously stepped back a bit, stuttering, "Anyway, don’t even think about going after Zhou Hu."

"I think your mindset is very problematic. While everyone is fighting for the high school entrance exam, studying hard, and thinking about serving the country in the future, your mind is only full of men, tsk tsk..." Wang Miaomiao continued to act profound, crossing her arms and glaring straight into her soul, "And you use your brother’s name to threaten classmates. Apparently, this isn’t the first time you’ve done this. I don’t know how many classmates have suffered from your bullying... I feel my life is severely threatened, come with me to find Teacher Wu..."

"Sister, what are you dawdling about... let’s go." Wang Jia Bao shouted from the door, interrupting the confrontation between the two.

"Consider yourself powerful!" Gao Jianhong had already lost her initial momentum, and grudgingly threw down a sentence before turning around and running out the back door in a flash, disappearing as if the devil was chasing her.

"Hey, don’t run away, come with me to see Teacher Wu..." Wang Miaomiao leaned against the desk behind her and leisurely called out, then smiled triumphantly...

This little brat, who can’t bluff and scare people? She dares to bully me in school...

However, I’m a promising youth, so when something happens, I go to the teacher, that’s absolutely right.

Once Gao Jianhong left, a cluster of heads suddenly appeared at the classroom door, including Li Xiaohua.

She smiled ingratiatingly at Wang Miaomiao and said, "Miaomiao, what did Gao just say to you? Why did she run away?"

Several girls next to her echoed, "Yes, yes..." Their eyes full of gossip.

Wang Miaomiao said as she walked out the door, "She didn’t say much. She threatened me not to talk to Zhou Hu. How can I agree to this? We’re all classmates. It’s too despicable for Gao to ask me to isolate Zhou Hu. Bullying at school in broad daylight, it’s too vile."

The classmates in the hallway were taken aback by her words. Did their ears have problems? Or was their understanding out of whack? How did Wang Miaomiao imply that Gao was bullying Zhou Hu?

"So how did you respond to her?" someone weakly asked from the crowd.

Wang Miaomiao smiled brightly and said, "I told her to come with me to see Teacher Wu..."

Reporting to the teacher...?

The crowd’s eyes shifted again, several girls who had been threatened by Gao Jianhong looked miserably conflicted, as if suffering from constipation.

"Let’s go, aren’t you leaving? Staying here won’t get you dinner, right?" Wang Miaomiao smiled, headed straight to the school gate where Wang Jia Bao was already hopping mad waiting.

"What are you dawdling about? Hurry up..."

"Hey hey, young man, don’t be so hot-tempered in youth," Wang Miaomiao smilingly patted his shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Be careful not to age too quickly."

"Wang Miaomiao!" Wang Jia Bao was hopping mad, "I still need to settle the score with you for this morning. Is your skin itching again, huh?"

"The issue from this morning, you’re still holding on to it?" Wang Miaomiao looked at him surprised, speaking with a mysterious air, "Brother, each time you forgive someone, you make blessings; broaden your mind, and the blessings grow. A real man must not be narrow-minded; it’s hard to achieve greatness otherwise..."

Wang Jia Bao laughed angrily, "Only you have a bunch of big theories. Hurry up, dawdling again and we won’t make it home before dark."

Gao Jianhong ran all the way back home, her heart pounding. She lay down on her desk and thought back to the confrontation with Wang Miaomiao, realizing she was so cowardly, completely suppressed by her.

"Bam bam..." She angrily smacked her desk numerous times to vent, swearing to turn the tables tomorrow.

Entering campus the next day, she immediately noticed several groups of girls looking at her with complex expressions.

Gao Jianhong’s face darkened being stared at and unhappily said, "What are you all looking at, wanna do something?"

Yesterday’s incident had already spread thanks to the gossipmongers. The school strictly managed the atmosphere between boys and girls; any crush or mutual liking between them was carefully concealed. Her brother oversees this department, so they’re all afraid she’d report them.

The girls who had been threatened by Gao Jianhong, because their reputations were at stake, dared not speak up and quietly swallowed their grievances.

But thanks to Wang Miaomiao’s actions, the nature of this matter changed. And Wang Miaomiao didn’t bother to hide it, openly talking about it.

The news about Gao Jianhong’s school bullying and isolating the school’s star student Zhou Hu spread like wildfire across every corner of campus.

"Gao Jianhong, I can’t believe you’re this vicious, daring to isolate our school’s top student Zhou Hu," a girl who had long been annoyed by Gao Jianhong stepped out and righteously said, "No wonder Zhou Hu dares not communicate much with classmates, turns out you’re behind it."

"What? I didn’t," Gao Jianhong was completely puzzled.

"You did deny it," once one person stepped out, many followed, "Didn’t you warn Wang Miaomiao yesterday not to talk to Zhou Hu?"

"I can testify." Someone else stepped out to testify, "She warned me before too."

"Really... how can she be so vile, completely murdering Zhou Hu’s freedom to make friends, causing Zhou Hu to become more and more withdrawn..."

People around began to babble and gossip...

By the time Wang Miaomiao arrived at school, things had gotten out of hand, escalating to the principal’s attention.

Wang Miaomiao was called to the office for questioning, she never expected things to escalate so fast and intensely.

Looking innocent, Wang Miaomiao selectively spoke the truth, naturally avoiding words like "going after" that would cause unnecessary misunderstanding, not mentioning them to avoid such "unpleasantness."

Also, Gao Jianhong had threatened so many people over the past two years, even people from other classes stood up, including boys.

And those boys were merely jealous of Zhou Hu for his good grades, joking a bit about him, and got threatened by Gao Jianhong, it’s just...

Now it’s clear, with both boys and girls, the fact that Gao Jianhong isolated Zhou Hu couldn’t be clearer.

By the end of the day, Gao Jianhong’s parents were called in, afterwards she was never seen at school again, heard she was expelled. Her brother got implicated, losing his director position, becoming an ordinary teacher.

Wang Miaomiao also became known in Red Star Middle School, her legend far from over... Years later, her name appeared prominently on the school’s famous alumni list.
