CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 300 YOU HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT OF THE GROUP CHAT

Sang Ning said that she was experienced in dealing with online bullying. This level of insults was nothing to her at all. Her main concern was Sang Chuan’s mental state.

"So, you were sighing and moping here just now because of these chats, looking all lifeless and hopeless?" Sang Ning picked out a few lines of chat records, glanced at them, then waved her phone in front of Sang Chuan.

"When did I sigh and mope? Scroll up and see for yourself. It’s all me single-handedly trashing them, totally crushing them! Okay?" Sang Chuan felt aggrieved. How could he possibly be the kind to sigh and mope? If it weren’t for being afraid of making too much of a commotion and letting Sang Ning see this irritating stuff, he would’ve turned on voice chat and roasted them directly.

Sang Ning didn’t do as Sang Chuan suggested, scrolling up to find his messages tearing into people in the chat. What she was more worried about now was whether Sang Chuan could go back to school.

This senior year was the most crucial year. If Sang Chuan stayed in this environment of gossip and rumors for too long, it would inevitably affect his normal studies.

"Sis, can you let me stay home for a few days? I think school life is too hard. We finally managed to move to a big house—even if it’s rented—but I still want to enjoy it for a few days." Sang Chuan clasped his hands together and prayed to Sang Ning, his face showing no trace of sadness or distress.

Sang Ning thought that, judging by this, Sang Chuan’s mental resilience was still quite decent. "Fine, you can rest at home for a few days, but you must not fall behind in your studies. I’ll keep an eye on you."

This was also her thought: the current public opinion was bad. With Sang Chuan’s fiery temper, going to school might lead to fights with others. If he injured someone, things would become impossible to explain, even if he was in the right.

Sang Chuan assured Sang Ning that even if he was at home, he would definitely stay serious about his studies and not slack off.

Before heading back to his room, however, he thickened his skin and somehow managed to get Sang Ning to let him borrow her phone.

When he got to his room, he quietly locked the door and started using the phone to confront the people cursing him in the group chat.

[No matter whether I’m the school bully or the top student, I’m more talented than all of you trash. You lot can’t beat me physically, and you can’t beat me mentally either. If I’m garbage, then what does that make you? Fighter jets of the garbage world?]

[What’s wrong with my family’s genetics? Anyone from the Sang Family is either handsome or beautiful. What’s the matter, does this beauty make you, ugly fools, feel insecure?]

Originally, Sang Chuan wanted to turn on voice chat to shout at them, but he worried about the room’s soundproofing. What if Sang Ning overheard him losing his mind? Typing was seriously limiting how fast he could curse people.

But just as he continued swearing at them, he suddenly found himself kicked out of the group chat.

???

They couldn’t win the argument, so they resorted to such a cheap trick?

Damn it! Sang Chuan actually cursed out loud this time.

Still wanting to continue the verbal showdown, he tried applying to rejoin the group chat, but each time his request was mercilessly rejected.

In the living room.

Sang Ning, for the first time, genuinely felt what it meant to be anxious.

Her confrontation with Duan Wenhu had been based on the idea of extracting herself from this book-world setting.

She was merely an ordinary Book Traverser. Even though Tang Yuanmao had previously mentioned the possibility that she originally belonged to this world, Sang Ning hadn’t developed much emotional attachment to it.

But now she realized, clearly and unmistakably, that she indeed had a vulnerable spot in this world.

She could disregard herself and go head-to-head with Duan Wenhu, but she couldn’t ignore Duan Wenhu teaming up with Chu Tian to use such nasty tactics to smear the Sang Family.

The most pressing issue at hand was resolving Sang Chuan’s schooling situation.

If Sang Chuan wanted to stay home for a few days, she would certainly need to notify his homeroom teacher.

But before Sang Ning could take the initiative to contact Sang Chuan’s homeroom teacher, the teacher sent her a message first: [Sang Ning, your brother did not pass the observation period evaluation. I’m sorry to inform you that he has lost his eligibility to attend school.]

?!

Sang Ning found it odd. The negative online rumors had just started fermenting—it shouldn’t have escalated so quickly to affect Sang Chuan’s eligibility to attend school.

Expelling a student was a serious matter that required careful handling—not something that could be so casually decided in an instant.

Unfortunately, the other party didn’t give Sang Ning a chance to question them. After sending that message, the teacher immediately deleted her from their contacts.

Not only was Sang Ning blocked on WeChat, but her phone number was also blacklisted.

Aside from his homeroom teacher, Gao Mingsong, the other teachers whom Sang Ning had contact information for all seemed to have made an agreement to block her on both WeChat and via phone. Even Gao Mingsong’s teaching-sharing group, set up with her help, was dissolved on the spot.

Sang Ning suddenly found it laughable. The speed with which these people reacted was ridiculously fast—they didn’t even leave time for her to say a word.

Sang Ning tried messaging each teacher one by one via WeChat. Eventually, only one name remained on her list: Wang Meng.

She suddenly recalled an earlier small conflict she’d had with this teacher on the day she brought Sang Chuan to school for registration.

Although this teacher had often asked her for advice afterward, and their interactions had been decent, Sang Ning didn’t hold out much hope.

With the homeroom teacher leading the charge and all the other teachers following suit, why would Wang Meng be any different?

So, even though Sang Ning opened the chatbox, she exited it again. There was no need to test the waters anymore; she was likely already blocked.

Surprisingly, just as Sang Ning was thinking this, Wang Meng unexpectedly sent her a message. Sang Ning couldn’t help but feel taken aback.

[Sang Ning, I want to tell you something quietly. We were all forced into doing these things. Someone threatened us from behind the scenes. As for who it was, I think you already know.]

[The reason I messaged you is that I feel morally conflicted. You’ve selflessly shared so much of your teaching experience with us. I’m just a timid, ordinary person; there are some things I can’t fight against. I hope you can understand us and not hate us for this.]

Did she feel disheartened? Of course, Sang Ning did. Not a single teacher among them was willing to speak up for Sang Chuan.

But she also expressed understanding. When faced with decisions concerning their own interests, few ordinary people would sacrifice themselves to protect others.

However, this didn’t stop Sang Ning from holding a grudge. Even if the issue was resolved, Shuixi First Middle School was no longer a suitable place for Sang Chuan to continue his education.

Sang Chuan wasn’t naïve. When he said yesterday that he wanted to stay home with her, it was most likely because he’d already been subtly informed to leave the school.

Under the circumstances of being collectively pushed out by the teachers, it was almost impossible to expect that Sang Chuan would return to school and respectfully follow their instructions.

[Thank you, Mr. Wang, but you should just block me. If you’re unable to make that decision yourself, I’ll do it for you.]

After sending this message, Sang Ning decisively deleted Wang Meng.

Seeing her WeChat message, Wang Meng hurriedly sent her another message to stop her, but he was too late.
