Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl
Chapter 145: Can You Manage?

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Can You Manage?

Wu Jing, choked at the neck, wanted to scream but couldn’t make a sound. He was so scared that his legs turned weak.

Thank goodness for the exercise over the past year, Zhen Yu had grown quickly and become strong.

At least compared to Wu Jing, this ’short vase,’ she was tall!

Feeling that this coward couldn’t even stand properly, Zhen Yu casually threw him on the ground.

"Speak! Why are you spreading rumors about me?" Zhen Yu squatted in front of Wu Jing and asked. She deliberately let her hair down to look like a horror movie ghost to scare him!

"Ah," Wu Jing’s scream was barely out when Zhen Yu pressed his mouth shut, and her other hand came up with a slap!

She threatened, "No screaming! Scream again and I’ll hit you!"

"Wuwuwu!" Wu Jing nodded vigorously. As soon as Zhen Yu let go, he opened his mouth to scream again.

Zhen Yu couldn’t take it anymore, she grabbed a handful of soil mixed with small stones from the ground and stuffed it into Wu Jing’s mouth.

"Ah, ptooey ptooey ptooey..." After being fed dirt, Wu Jing couldn’t scream anymore. He turned his head and began spitting out the mud, a mixture of saliva and dirt.

"Why are you spreading rumors about me? Scream again and I’ll feed you more dirt!"

"Cough cough cough..." Wu Jing almost finished spitting it out and felt more calm, "I didn’t spread them! It wasn’t me!"

"You better tell the truth or eat dirt!" Zhen Yu pretended to grab more soil.

Wu Jing hurriedly waved his hands, "I’ll talk! I’ll talk! My mom told me to do it!"

Zhen Yu paused for a moment, then waved her hand at Wu Jing, "Get lost!"

Wu Jing scrambled up from the ground and tried to run, but just as he took a step, his clothes were grabbed from behind.

Scared stiff, he heard another chilling phrase, "If I hear you talk bad about me again, I’ll break your legs!"

"I dare not! I won’t say it ever again!" Wu Jing didn’t even dare to turn his head. As soon as his clothes slipped from Zhen Yu’s grip, he dashed home.

Running while crying: "Mom! Mom, oh mom..."

——

Zhen Yu squatted in the same spot for a while and then slowly stood up and walked towards her home.

Just a little kid, she didn’t want to deal with him.

The school rumors really didn’t affect Zhen Yu herself that much, but still! Her reputation mattered.

This time the rumors were not like Wang Meng’s case but involved outsiders and hooligans; if she didn’t refute them openly, it might not be good!

Better get the school involved then! School leaders would certainly not want the students to continue such baseless chatter.

The next day during morning study, Zhen Yu greeted Qiao Xian and then went to find the homeroom teacher.

How could Teacher Cao complain about her ’not coming to my office first?’ Here she was! Listening to the teacher is what good students do!

Knock knock— "Come in."

"Teacher Cao, good morning!" Zhen Yu stood politely in front of the homeroom teacher and greeted.

Seeing her gave Cao Yong a headache! Always stirring up trouble!

With a grim face, he asked, "Is it about the rumors? Every day with you! Why do you always attract trouble?!"

Zhen Yu puffed her cheeks, how could she be blamed? Clearly, it was those gossipers who had nothing better to do and just wanted to stir up trouble!

Seeing Zhen Yu not speaking, Cao Yong added, "Do you have any good ideas? Relying on exams this time probably won’t work."

Zhen Yu tentatively asked, "A school-wide assembly?"

"How is that possible!" Cao Yong decisively said, "Such a trivial matter! You also want the whole school to know about it?!"

"How about the junior high section? The first-year grade group?" Zhen Yu bargained down.

"Let’s go with the junior high section." Cao Yong also realized that the impact of the rumors had spread a bit too quickly, just addressing it in the first-year grade group may not be enough.

Is it really true that good news stays behind doors and bad news travels thousands of miles?

Zhen Yu nodded, "Then let’s do that! I’ll speak at the assembly myself!"

"You wish! What are you going up there for!" Cao Yong reprimanded angrily, "Although it’s said that the innocent can clear themselves, isn’t there also a saying that the more you explain, the messier it gets!"

Zhen Yu sheepishly whispered, "Teacher Cao, your Chinese is quite good too."

"Scram, scram, scram!" Cao Yong laughed angrily, waved his hand to shoo Zhen Yu away, "Go back and study honestly!"

Zhen Yu nodded, "Goodbye, teacher."

She then trotted away.

——

After watching Zhen Yu run away like a mouse, Teacher Qian chuckled and said to Cao Yong, "Don’t always put on a stern face, I see that in the first class! Only Zhen Yu isn’t afraid of you!"

Cao Yong’s expression returned to normal, with a slight smile, "Have you ever seen her afraid of anyone? Lawless girl!"

"Haha! That’s true!" Teacher Qian agreed for a while, then asked, "For this assembly in the junior high section, the principal should show up, right? Sooner rather than later!"

"Right! I’ll go find him now, and organize it during the break after the second period," Cao Yong said, standing up and walking out of the office.

After the second period ended and after finishing the broadcast exercises, the students of the junior high section were asked to stay on the playground.

Zhen Yuxin, fully aware, stood among the ranks, waiting to see the reactions of those around her.

Cao Yong stepped in front of the flag-raising platform and said loudly, "Recently! Many students have maliciously spread rumors! In light of such bad behavior, which has brought terrible impacts to the school! The school has decided! If any student privately spreads rumors again, they will be severely criticized! We hope the students focus more on their studies! Stop making up pointless nonsense to slander others! Did you all hear that?!"

"We heard it!" Although nearly three hundred people stood on the playground, the response was sparse, clearly indifferent.

Teacher Cao helplessly glanced at the students, feeling somewhat disheartened.

Just as he was about to wave his hand to disperse them, unaware of when she had run to the front row of the Junior High School First Class, Zhen Yu suddenly shouted loudly, "Report! I have something to say!"

Cao Yong glared at her angrily, but in front of everyone, had no choice but to gesture for her to come forward.

Zhen Yu first saluted Teacher Cao, then turned to face all the students.

The students from all six classes across the three grades of junior high were all focused on her. It could be said that since Zhen Yu had hosted the New Year’s singing competition, there was really no one in the junior high section who didn’t recognize her!

"Everyone should understand! The words Teacher Cao said were for me!" As soon as Zhen Yu finished speaking, a buzz erupted from below.

Cao Yong had no choice but to shout loudly, "Silence!", and the crowd quieted down again.

"Recently everyone has been spreading rumors that I’m good at fighting, saying I hang out with riffraffs from society, talk about dating and friends. But what I want to say is!" Zhen Yu paused, then yelled, "Is it any of your business!"

"Roar..." The students truly exploded then! With a hundred people, there were bound to be a hundred thoughts, some supported Zhen Yu, but more thought her arrogant and booed.

Under the teachers’ repression, although the talking quickly subsided, it couldn’t completely silence all the students.

There were many who were still defiant.
