Chapter 455: A Clean Person

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xia Wan descended from the podium.

The ceremony was finally over.

Xia Wan hadn’t felt much about such ceremonies initially, but when she caught a glimpse of the resentful gaze from Xia Ye, she suddenly felt that the attention wasn’t so bad after all!

Back in her classroom, Liu Hua leaned in close to Xia Wan and asked, “You did a great job with this secret mission! Come on, spill the beans, what did you

Liu Hua’s question piqued the curiosity of many other students, who crowded around.

Xia Wan didn’t intend to reveal everything, so she replied by saying she had provided the police with some leads, which had helped them catch the culprits.

While it was somewhat evasive, it wasn’t entirely untrue.

Passing by the classroom door, Xia Ye happened to see a group of people gathered around Xia Wan, engaged in a lively discussion.

She clenched her teeth, her fingers digging into her palms, her eyes filled with anger.

Ke Xin approached Xia Ye and looked in Xia Wan’s direction. “Xia Ye, your sister really knows how to steal the spotlight! I heard her exam results improved significantly, and the teacher even praised her!” Ke Xin loved to hit where it hurt, and just a few words managed to reveal Xia

Ye’s resentment through her already furious gaze.

Exactly!

She resented Xia Wan!

Why did Xia Wan get so much attention? Why did she manage to find those leads? Why did her grades improve so rapidly?

The more Xia Ye thought about it, the more unfair it seemed. She clenched her teeth so tightly that they produced an audible grinding sound.

Ke Xin saw Xia Ye’s fury was on the verge of boiling over, so she decided to add fuel to the fire. “I heard the clothing store hasn’t been open for days. Do you know where the shop owner went?”

Xia Ye’s anger instantly redirected towards Ke Xin. “How should I know where she went? Her whereabouts are none of my business!”

Xia Ye’s voice was loud, immediately drawing the attention of those around.

Ke Xin put on an innocent face, grabbed Xia Ye’s arm, and led her toward the corridor, speaking in a hushed tone, “Don’t get angry! You three are sisters; I thought you’d be familiar with each other and know what each other’s been up to.”

Xia Ye pushed Ke Xin away with a shout, “I’m not close to those two at all! What they do has nothing to do with me!”

“If you want to know what they’ve been up to, go ask them yourself! Stop clinging to me!”

Xia Ye let out an angry roar and ran in the direction of the schoolyard.

Ke Xin, looking hurt, watched Xia Ye’s retreating figure while a few students gathered around her to offer consolation.

Xia Ye ran to the center of the schoolyard and finally stopped, panting heavily. “What’s going on? Xia Wan has suddenly become the center of attention! Xia Ruyu has a rich boyfriend, even if he’s old and ugly, he treats her well, and that should be enough!”

“Why am I the only one so unlucky? Why me!”

Xia Ye yelled out her frustration, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Just then, a clean white handkerchief was handed to her. “Don’t cry! Wipe your tears! The schoolyard is dusty, and your face will be a mess in no time!”

The voice was gentle, almost bewitching, and Xia Ye couldn’t resist taking the handkerchief and looking at the clean person before her.

Clean face, clean clothes, clean handkerchief, and even a clean voice.

Xia Ye sniffled and used the handkerchief to wipe her tears, allowing her blurry eyes to focus on the immaculate person before her.

“Who are you?” Xia Ye asked with a heavy nasal tone.

The person immediately extended their hand, offering a friendly greeting. “Hello! I’m Jiang Lu, and I just transferred here today.”

Xia Ye hesitated for a moment and then shook the extended hand. “Hello! I’m Xia Ye.”

“You have the same last name as well? The student who was just on stage seems to have the last name Xia too. Isn’t that you?” Jiang Lu asked, looking somewhat excited.

Xia Ye quickly shook her head. “No! That’s Xia Wan. I’m Xia Ye…”

Reluctantly, Xia Ye admitted that Xia Wan, not herself, was the one who had just stolen the limelight.

Jiang Lu immediately apologized, “I’m sorry! I got confused…”

Seeing the sincere apology, Xia Ye’s anger and frustration seemed to dissipate.

“It’s okay. You just transferred here today, so it’s normal to mix us up,” Xia Ye said with a shy smile.

“You’re very kind!” Jiang Lu praised without reservation. “I have something to do; I need to go now!”

Xia Ye watched as Jiang Lu quickly walked away, feeling a sense of relief in her heart..
