Forced to Date a Big Shot

Ch261: Gem Bracelet~

“I didn’t bring it.”

Ever since San Jin had said that that box of stones could be worth tens of millions, Xue Xi had not been so careless as to bring the stones with her and left them at home.

However, she did not know how to explain this box of expensive stones to Ye Li, so she did not tell the family for the time being.

When Zhou Zhen heard this, he was a little disappointed. However, when he heard Xue Xi talking about the stones, he recalled the day when her gems fell to the ground. Everyone said that they were gems, but Xue Xi only calmly said that they were just a few stones and did not seem to be showing off.

Moreover...

The box of stones that Xue Xi dropped did not appear on purpose. Instead, it was the students in the class who accidentally pushed her desk that made the box fall to the ground.

When he connected these matters, Zhou Zhen came to a conclusion. He said to the class, “Regardless of whether that box of gems is real or fake, the Goddess of Studying did not show off. Let’s not spread any rumors in our class, understand?!”

Although most of the students in the class came from wealthy families, their upbringing was better. They nodded when they heard this.

On the other hand, Li Hanlei sneered and said to Xue Yao, “That’s really unfortunate. Yaoyao, you just took out a gem and she brought a box of gems to the school. It’s obvious that she wants to suppress you in every aspect. Such a person is simply not worthy of being your sister!”

Xue Yao lowered her eyes and did not speak. However, she put on the ruby ring that she took off that day.

When the old lady returned home last night, she said that it was just a box of stones and that Xue Yao must have seen wrongly.

Only then did she realize that they were definitely fake.

How could her uncle have a box of gems in his house?

…

Although Zhou Zhen wanted everyone to stop mentioning it, this matter spread too quickly. In this information age, if anything happened, the entire school would know.

During the lesson, Xue Xi fans jumped ship. The male students beside her ran over and shouted at her, “Stones or gems? You’re so silly that you can’t tell!”

The female classmate became even more gossipy. “The Goddess of Studying is indeed good, but she can’t be perfect. She has everything. It’s already impressive that she’s good-looking, but she must also have money. She won’t let anyone else stand out!”

“No, even gems can be fake. Could the studies be fake too?”

“She did the questions so quickly during the examination. It can’t be that she cheated, right?”

“... Anyway, we should stay away from such a person. Someone who can make a scene in the school can’t possibly be good.”

“I don’t know the truth, but there can’t be smoke if there’s no fire. Since there are such rumors, who knows if some people really did it on purpose?”

Xue Xi did not mind. On the other hand, the members of Class Eight’s Roaring Flame Society waved their fists, and Flame Number One said, “Why are you making everything your business? Didn’t your mother teach you to speak less behind others’ back?”

The rest of the students pouted and ran away.

The few members gathered beside Xue Xi and Gao Yanchen said, “I’ve finished reading all the things you arranged last night. You can speed me up.”
