What to Do When Someone Steals Your Destiny? I'll Just Kill Her

Chapter 8

Ding Ling Ling...

Ren Ran stepped into the classroom right on time, morning self-study period. Everyone was buried in their review questions, consolidating their knowledge. Ren Ran was even more diligent than anyone else. She had been away from school for over ten years now, and had almost completely forgotten most of the high school curriculum.

The college entrance exam was less than a year away now, and she didn't want to have any regrets.

In her previous life, she had been unable to study properly due to depression, and had done extremely poorly on the college entrance exam, not even qualifying for a third-tier university. This had always been a regret deep in her heart.

This time, she wanted to test into a good university, to make her mother and grandparents happy.

When the class bell rang, the previously quiet classroom instantly livened up.

Zhao Yi rushed over to her and pulled out the desk and chair beside her. "Ren Ran, do you know why Xu Li isn't here today?"

"Why isn't she here?"

She already knew, but couldn't say.

She really hadn't expected Pei Ming to act so quickly and ruthlessly.

No matter what, Xu Li had treated him with utmost sincerity, but in the end he didn't even ask her a single question before directly ordering his men to cripple her.

Tsk tsk, how vicious!

"Xu Li was beaten up. She was taken away in an ambulance last night, severely injured with both her legs and arms broken. We're in the final sprint stage now, given her condition she'll probably have to repeat the grade." Zhao Yi said with a giggle.

"With how awful she is, she must have offended someone out there who gave her a beating." Ren Ran's deskmate commented.

Just then, a middle-aged couple appeared at the classroom entrance, scanning the room.

"Who is Ren Ran?"

The other students stared blankly, some instinctively looking towards Ren Ran.

The middle-aged couple noticed this, and followed their gazes to land on Ren Ran.

After a brief ponder, Ren Ran remembered who they were.

Xu Li's parents.

Back when she was still Miss Anyi, she had never met Xu Li's parents. Xu Li never brought her to visit her family, let alone introduce her parents.

It wasn't until after her family's downfall that she once ran into Xu Li's parents on the street. Xu Li's mother had thrown a plastic bottle at her while Xu Li sat in the backseat watching her humiliation gleefully.

Xu Li had even deliberately introduced her to her parents as her high school classmate.

She would never forget what Xu Li's parents had said that day.

"So you're that young miss who was always following my daughter Li Li in high school. Now you're reduced to picking up trash? Tsk tsk, how pitiful."

"Seeing as you were decent to our Li Li in the past, here, this 20 yuan is for you." Xu Li's mother fished out a 20 yuan bill from her wallet and tossed it out the window.

Xu Li's mother ignored the ugly expression on the other's face, continuing to revel in trampling her former social superior.

"You don't need to thank us too much. This is only right. Take the money and go get yourself a good meal."

Xu Li's father said to his daughter in the back seat: "In the future, stop mingling with such impoverished people. Once you get entangled with them, you can't shake them off."

Xu Li smiled sweetly. "Don't worry dad, I know. She smells so bad, why would I want to be around her? People like her aren't even fit to tie my shoes, I'd find it dirty."

...

The memories were interrupted by Xu Li's mother's shrill yelling.

"It's you, you little bastard. You had my daughter crippled."

"You owe my daughter her life."

Xu Li's mother charged at Ren Ran like a fierce beast.

Ren Ran reacted quickly, getting up and backing away.

"So young yet so vicious. I'm sending you to prison." Xu Li's mother screamed furiously, her twisted expression frightening many students.

The class bell rang, and the onlooking students lingering outside reluctantly left.

The teachers had been notified and rushed over, gently persuading Xu Li's parents as they held them back.

"Mr. and Mrs. Xu, don't be impatient, don't act rashly. We can talk this out properly." Teacher Zhao was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "Impulsiveness is the devil."

Xu Li's mother yelled angrily: "What's there to talk about? This little mongrel had my daughter crippled. What kind of students are you teachers raising, to produce such a vicious one? She's responsible, and your school can't avoid involvement either."

Her tirade left the teachers restraining her with very ugly expressions, but Teacher Zhao could not clash with a parent. He patiently placated: "If it really was Ren Ran's fault, our school would definitely not gloss over it. This is not the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."

Just as Xu Li's mother was about to retort, she was stopped by Xu Li's father.

"Alright, let's listen to the teacher." Xu Li's father said calmly.

Teacher Zhao secretly let out a breath of relief. Thankfully there was still one rational parent among the couple.

"Ren Ran, come with the teachers. The rest of you, self-study."

"Ahhh!" Dissatisfied voices rose in unison.

Teacher Zhao glared fiercely at the cheeky little rabbits, and left with the involved parties.

The moment they reached the office, Xu Li's mother tried to scratch Ren Ran. Ren Ran reacted swiftly, hiding behind Teacher Zhao. Teacher Zhao nearly had his face clawed up, his complexion darkening by several shades. The other teachers hurriedly held Xu Li's mother back.

"Don't move, listen to what the teachers have to say first." With Xu Li's father speaking, Xu Li's mother immediately settled down. The teachers unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

"My daughter was beaten yesterday, now her legs and arms are wasted. The doctor said that even if she recovers, she'll be a cripple. Her hands will never be as dexterous as before. She's as good as ruined for life. My good daughter has become like this, how could I as her mother not be furious?" Xu Li's mother cried bitterly.

Hearing this, the office teachers could understand her perspective and no longer held her earlier mad behavior against her, instead sympathizing.

Xu Li's mother pointed at Ren Ran. "My daughter is well-liked at school. The only person she offended is her. Li Li told me that after meeting her, she got beaten up. This wicked girl must have held a grudge and deliberately sought revenge."

"Do you have any evidence?" Ren Ran asked with crossed arms.

"My daughter's account is evidence. She's the victim. She heard those people report back to you personally. You can't get away."

At this point Xu Li's father spoke up. "Xu Li's medical fees, mental damages, and future losses, you're responsible for all of it. If you don't want to go to jail, compensate us 50 million yuan. We can provide a letter of understanding to exempt you from imprisonment. If you don't agree, we'll report this to the police."

The teachers understood after thinking it over. Instead of going to the police, they had come to the school — turns out it was about money.

Teacher Zhao looked to Ren Ran. "Ren Ran, with something like this happening, please ask your parents to come to the school."

"On the way here, I already texted my mom. She'll be here very soon."

Teacher Zhao nodded satisfactorily.

Ren Ran's tone then shifted. "I also made a police report."

"Huh?" Teacher Zhao was confused.

The other teachers were also baffled.

Xu Li's parents were similarly shocked as they stared at her.

"What...what do you mean?" Xu Li's mother glared at her as she questioned.
