Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 243 Theme Competition: Breaking Free (2)

Gu Shijiu was hesitant about how to deal with this person when she saw the head of the teaching department trying to solve the problem, so she simply handed the person over to her.

The head of teaching quickly helped Xiang Lanlan, who was injured and frightened and whose body was weak, and looked at Gu Shijiu with new respect.

Look at them, their own mother can hit them whenever she wants, tsk tsk, otherwise how could they have accomplished anything?

Xiang Lanlan took deep breaths of fresh air; the feeling just now had truly suffocated her.

With the dean of students standing in front of her, she felt much safer. Covering her face, she said, "Director, Xiangyang is dropping out. I'm here to help her withdraw from school!"

The head teacher's face twitched; she didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing at all.

Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do; she had been pushed forward by the school leaders: "Ms. Xiang, why don't you bring your child to my office to talk?"

The crowd was growing larger and larger; if she stayed there any longer, she would lose all face.

Gu Shijiu didn't care and followed behind the Dean of Students, with Xiang Lanlan also panting heavily as she followed closely behind.

As for Zhang Qian, Gu Shijiu had already forgotten about her.

In the office, Xiang Lanlan glared at Gu Shijiu through gritted teeth, as if there was some deep-seated hatred between them: "You should withdraw from school now."

"Why should I?" Gu Shijiu had poor grades, but she didn't plan to drop out of school.

The competition has a school theme, but it deviates from the theme once it leaves the school, something she understands.

"Because I'm your mother, and because I paid your tuition! High school isn't compulsory education, I don't want you to continue!"

Xiang Lanlan raised her foot as if to kick Gu Shijiu, but changed direction when she saw the other's eyes, and her pointed high heels kicked the wall.

This is terrifying! Is this really my daughter? Could she be possessed by a ghost?

Gu Shijiu slowly lowered her hand, which she was about to use.

The head of the teaching department watched with trepidation; what a close call!

Fortunately, Ms. Xiang had some sense, otherwise she might have been beaten again.

As a member of the school's faculty and staff, the dean of students offered a token suggestion: "Why would you want to drop out of school? You should at least finish high school."

"Quickly withdraw, and it would be best if you didn't come next semester," the head of student affairs added in his mind.

Gu Shijiu said coldly, "I won't back out."

Looking at her unmoved face, Xiang Lanlan grew angrier the more she thought about it.

The main reason she wanted Gu Shijiu to drop out of school was because of her stepson, Wu Yihai.

Last night, she overheard Wu Yihai and her husband Wu Bo talking and realized that Xiangyang's existence had brought so much trouble to her stepson.

He was a year ahead of Xiangyang, handsome, academically excellent, and had a gentle personality, making him very popular at school.

Wu Yihai dislikes Xiang Lanlan and also despises Xiang Yang.

At his current age, he was not capable of causing any real harm to his stepmother, so he set his sights on Xiangyang.

As a result, stories began to circulate at school about Xiangyang's unsuccessful attempt to seduce her stepbrother.

Otherwise, why wouldn't even her own mother like her?

Many people have witnessed Xiang Lanlan's attitude towards this daughter.

After Xiangyang was admitted to this school from his village, he was single-mindedly focused on getting into a good university, unaware of the slander he was being smeared against him.

She didn't know that it was because of this rumor that she encountered school bullying.

After all, there were many girls in the school who admired Wu Yihai.

It's intolerable that Xiangyang dared to set her sights on her crush, especially since she's also beautiful and academically gifted.

The girls went crazy, vowing to protect their idol's chastity and not let Xiangyang, that vicious woman, get her way.

School bullying always seems to escalate.

A semester later, no one remembered why they had bullied Xiangyang.

Things unfolded exactly as Wu Yihai had predicted. If nothing unexpected happened, Xiangyang's entire high school career would be a dismal one.

However, the reason the male protagonist is the male protagonist is precisely because he cannot be a complete scumbag.

He needed to grow and transform, to develop a character arc, so Wu Yihai, still possessing a conscience, began to regret his actions.

The reason he disliked Xiang Lanlan was that this stepmother always acted kindly towards him in front of outsiders, but in private she always tripped him up.

The reason he disliked Xiangyang was because he was jealous of him.

That's right, Wu Yihai was jealous of Xiang Yang.

Like most fathers in the world, Wu Yihai's father, Wu Bo, was not good at taking care of his children, let alone expressing his feelings.

The stepmother harbored malicious intentions and was not a good person.

He used to think that no one loved children in the world who didn't have mothers, until he went to the countryside with his father and stepmother.

When Xiang Lanlan went home to visit her parents, Wu Yihai saw Xiang Yang for the first time.

Xiang Yang was like a bewildered little animal, clumsily trying to please Xiang Lanlan.

Originally, Wu Yihai sympathized with Xiang Yang because of Xiang Lanlan's undisguised hatred towards her daughter.

But soon, he saw Xiangyang's maternal grandparents holding their granddaughter tightly in their arms, cursing their own daughter.

Wu Yihai's heart clenched painfully; it turned out he was the only one who was unloved.

From then on, he continued to monitor Xiangyang's life like a voyeur.

After the high school entrance exam, Xiangyang's maternal grandparents passed away one after another due to illness, but Xiang Lanlan had no intention of taking her daughter in to raise her.

Wu Bo actually paid for Xiang Yang's high school tuition. Xiang Lanlan was afraid that her husband would be angry, so she reluctantly helped him pay the fees.

Xiangyang finally became an unwanted child, but Wu Yihai was not happy about it.

How could she be so ambitious, attending classes every day as if she didn't care about these hardships at all?

In a moment of weakness, Wu Yihai orchestrated the bullying of Xiangyang.

In the original storyline, he would be deeply shaken by Xiangyang's death, repent, and become a truly qualified male protagonist.

But this time, Gu Shijiu came and went from being a victim to a school bully and academic underachiever.

Although he didn't die, Wu Yihai still regretted it.

He never stopped paying attention to Xiangyang, knowing that she continued to study hard even though she was being bullied.

However, those appallingly bad grades, every single number, revealed just how much harm Wu Yihai had inflicted on this optimistic and strong girl.

Others might not have noticed, but he knew very well that Xiangyang's past achievements were quite good.

A student who had always studied diligently and whose grades were previously quite good seemed to have forgotten all the knowledge he had learned overnight.

Looking at Gu Shijiu holding her elementary school textbook, Wu Yihai could only conclude that she had suffered brain damage due to being bullied.

Suddenly, Wu Yihai realized his mistake.

He was in agony, conflicted, and filled with unbearable regret.

However, he dared not stand up and admit that Xiangyang's bad reputation was entirely due to his own fabrication; he only told his father, Wu Bo.

To prevent his son from suffering psychological trauma, Wu Bo promised to give Xiangyang enough money to support her until she graduated from university.

When Xiangyang gets married in the future, I will give her a generous dowry.

When Xiang Lanlan heard about these things, she was furious.

She knew it! This daughter was born to bring her bad luck!
