Chapter 161: Chapter 125: Heart Biased All the Way to the Alien Sea

With one hand in her pocket, Shu Yao adjusted the position of her Light Brain with the other, taking a photo with her younger uncle’s picture on the Wall of Honor.

Of course, the shot wouldn’t be complete without Xiao Juzi’s furry, adorable little head that made you want to ruffle it.

Lin Zhenxiang glided over, her figure willowy and graceful, exuding the air of a socialite. In contrast, Shu Yao, standing before the Wall of Honor in her tattered top, looked like an unkempt slob.

"Sister Shu," she called out sweetly.

Shu Yao remained impassive, pushing Xiao Juzi’s head down into her clothes.

Lin Zhenxiang noticed Shu Yao’s hand, which was in her pocket, fiddling with something. She glanced at it but paid it no mind.

Faced with Shu Yao’s indifference, her sweetness didn’t diminish. "Are you also here for the info session that Imperial University is holding at our school?"

"Do you need something?" Shu Yao’s voice was laced with detachment.

But Lin Zhenxiang acted as if she hadn’t understood the "get lost if you don’t need anything" subtext. Her gaze sized Shu Yao up with a hint of criticism.

"But... the way you’re dressed is a bit too inappropriate."

’Showing up to such an important event dressed in rags... this trashy girl from the Lower Star District must be out of her mind!’

Shu Yao returned her thorny gaze, retorting with defiant sarcasm, "You can come here wearing whatever you please, so why can’t I? Or is this a privilege reserved only for you, Miss Lin?"

"That’s not what I meant..." Lin Zhenxiang pursed her lips, looking aggrieved, as if she were the one being bullied.

Seeing this, Huo Jiao immediately stepped forward to defend her.

"Hey, you from Class Six! What are you doing to our Xiangxiang!? Trying to bully her?! You think our class has no one to stand up for her?!"

"Are you guys f*cking crazy?!" Shu Yao shot back, raising an eyebrow. "Was I bothering you? Did I provoke you? You come running over here to yap at me—what are you even yapping about? Do I know you?!"

"Sister Shu..." Lin Zhenxiang looked deeply hurt.

Shu Yao took a step back, clutching her chest dramatically as if she were terrified. "Could you please not do this? I’m so scared! Scared you’ll call me a murderer, or accuse me of some conspiracy to harm you! If you know I’m so sinister and terrifying, why don’t you stay away? You came here willingly—are you looking for trouble?"

Huo Jiao’s face alternated between pale and flushed. She had indeed seen Lin Zhenxiang approach them first.

At that moment, Lin Zhenxiang’s face darkened as well.

The last attack on her in the Class One classroom was karmic retribution of her own making. But she had thrown Shu Yao to the wolves, planting seeds of doubt in everyone’s minds. She led them all to believe that Shu Yao, having just returned from the Lower Star District, was desperate to reclaim her status as the Lin Family heiress and had orchestrated the whole thing, using someone else to do her dirty work.

Back then, she had played the part of a terrified, helpless victim to perfection.

"Last time... it was a misunderstanding," she said, her tone weak and reluctant, as if she were a pitiful victim being forced to bow to power.

"Xiangxiang, let’s go! Don’t get involved with people like her!" Huo Jiao took Lin Zhenxiang’s arm, but when she couldn’t pull her away, she looked at her in confusion.

’She didn’t understand why Lin Zhenxiang was so fixated on some trashy girl from the Lower Star District!’

Lin Zhenxiang pursed her lips and offered a "kind" reminder, "Sister Shu, I heard this info session is especially important..."

Shu Yao mockingly eyed her flamboyant outfit. "So important that you’d break school rules for it?"

Huo Jiao shrieked, "You’re not wearing a school uniform either!"

"The school didn’t issue a uniform to a transfer student like me. Did they forget to issue them to you original students, too?" Shu Yao sneered, feigning confusion.

"But you still shouldn’t be wearing rags," Lin Zhenxiang said, as if she had made a perfectly valid point.

Shu Yao’s face was cold. "You’re meddling."

"No..." Lin Zhenxiang glanced at Huo Jiao. "Jiaojiao said today’s speaker might be the Federation’s Supreme Commander. We all dressed up so prettily and risked breaking school rules because we wanted to attract his attention."

"So, you all broke the school rules, but I didn’t, and somehow I’m the one in the wrong? You’re really something else, Miss Lin! You haven’t forgotten, have you—that I’m a married woman?"

’How could Lin Zhenxiang possibly forget!’

’She even remembered that Shu Yao’s husband seemed to be a man of high status and great power, but with an unremarkable appearance.’

’A woman who uses her looks to get ahead—how could she not want to win the favor of the Supreme Commander?’

’Lin Zhenxiang firmly believed that this trashy girl from the Lower Star District would be no exception.’

’Even if she was already married!’

’It couldn’t hide her promiscuous nature!’

’Besides, who would pass up the chance to expose a mother who acts so shamelessly!’

’A woman like that is unfit to be a wife, unfit to be a mother—she’s a disgrace to all women!’

The thought of Shu Yao being publicly condemned brought a sense of glee to Lin Zhenxiang.
