Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together

Chapter 10: Academic Bully vs School Bully 10

For the next few days, both of them devoted themselves to their studies. Even when Lin Yue and the others asked him to go out and play, Xie Xingchen refused. The reason was, of course, that if he didn't do well in the exam, Si Ke wouldn't want him anymore. Si Ke didn't care; she was happy to be the shield.

Soon, they faced their first quiz. Si Ke once again crushed the competition, while Xie Xingchen, having risen from last place to over 200th in the grade, stunned everyone. Considering there were over 1000 students in the grade, a jump of 800th place was truly astonishing.

However, these people didn't know that neither Si Ke nor Xie Xingchen had given their all. The questions this time were inherently difficult and somewhat unusual, unlike their usual test types. If they answered all the questions correctly, it would inevitably draw attention. Xie Xingchen had similar thoughts; he thought a top-ten score would be acceptable. However, if he progressed too quickly, the Xie family would become even more wary of him. So, he decided it would be better to maintain this slow progress.

By the end of the first half of the semester, Xie Xingchen's grades had stabilized between 10th and 20th in the grade.

During the Chinese New Year, Xie Xingchen still went back to the old house. He didn't want to come back for a reunion dinner, and he didn't want to leave Si Ke alone at home for the New Year. But there was no way, Si Ke said that if he didn't go back, Mr. Xie would probably not let her go, so Xie Xingchen compromised. Xie Xingchen wanted to take Si Ke back with him, but he felt suffocated when he thought of her spending the New Year alone. But when he thought of Si Ke's life experience, he knew that she would definitely be bullied in the Xie family, so it would be better to stay at home and be comfortable, so he gave up. After all, he was incompetent and had no capital to resist the Xie family. Just wait! He will grow up, Xie Xingchen gritted his teeth secretly.

This was the first time he had set foot in the Xie family since he was beaten by the old man last time.

Old Master Xie was angry, and even angrier when he saw Xie Xingchen's gloomy face. However, this time, he didn't overly embarrass Xie Xingchen. He just made a few sarcastic remarks and didn't say anything more. As for Si Ke, he didn't even mention him.

He knew better than anyone that Xie Xingchen's grades had improved dramatically. Furthermore, the boy had become much more restrained recently, no longer causing trouble. This had a lot to do with that girl. It was good to have someone like this to keep him in check, to help him settle down.

In fact, no one knew that Mr. Xie's favorite was not the fourth branch of the Xie family, but his grandson Xie Xingchen. This grandson was smart and courageous since he was a child, just like him.

When he was young, he doted on Xie Xingchen countless times, and it was this doting that nearly cost Xie Xingchen his life several times. He thought that they were all family, and no matter how much he was dissatisfied, he would never commit murder, but he still underestimated the ugliness of human nature.

He didn't punish the person behind the crime because it directly implicated several of his sons, and he couldn't send them all to jail. Moreover, even if he punished them, as long as he still doted on Xie Xingchen, there would be no peace in this family.

So, from then on, he began to distance himself from Xie Xingchen, punishing him more severely than anyone else when he made a mistake. Meanwhile, he began to delegate power to the Fourth House. The Fourth House was shrewd and calculating, so making him the target of public criticism was better than having these people keep an eye on his grandson all day.

As for the fourth branch, it is true that she has the ability to do business, so she will not squander the family fortune.

He is old and can't do much. He can only use this method to temporarily balance things.

Xie Xingchen was so absent-minded during this family dinner that he couldn't wait to get up and leave as soon as the meal was finished.

The Xie family members were still friendly in front of Mr. Xie, and they all joked that Xie Xingchen had a girlfriend and didn't spend the New Year with his family.

Xie Xingchen, however, showed his reckless attitude to the extreme. I just miss my girlfriend, and I just have to rush back, so what?

Seeing Mr. Xie's expression suddenly change, Xie's parents couldn't stop him. In the end, they let Xie Xingchen escape.

He was rushing back to see his girlfriend, but the performance was real too. The more rebellious and rebellious he was, the safer he would be.

……

At the start of the new semester, Si Ke entered the classroom and was immediately surrounded by classmates, asking for advice on study methods. Xie Xingchen, who had once been ranked last in the grade, had risen to the top in just one semester. They wouldn't believe that Si Ke didn't have her own set of study methods to achieve such progress.

Si Ke was a bit amused and embarrassed. He couldn't say that Xie Xingchen was just pretending. He could only respond, "There are no shortcuts to learning. You have to work hard. As long as you stay away from your phones and study until one or two in the morning every day, you can do it."

These words immediately dispelled everyone's thoughts, and sighs were heard all around.

Si Ke smiled and said, "Although I don't have any shortcuts, you can always ask me if you have any questions in the future."

Are you kidding? This is a chance to build good relationships with everyone, and she won't let it go.

So, Xie Xingchen got angry.

All of Si Ke's free time was taken up by these classmates. During breaks, and even after school. And then there were those boys with ulterior motives who kept coming up to Si Ke, asking him question after question, endlessly.

Finally, Xie Xingchen pushed those people away and dragged Si Ke away, shouting, "This school is supposed to be a school for the nobility, right? How come some of you can't even afford a tutor? Could it be that your family is bankrupt?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Si Ke hit him angrily, and then the two of them left hand in hand, leaving behind a bunch of confused people looking at each other.

Speaking of which, Xie Xingchen's grades have improved dramatically during this period, and he has become much friendlier to them. They almost forgot that he is their school bully.

……

In the blink of an eye, the college entrance examination was over. Si Ke and Xie Xingchen successfully entered the most prestigious A University in Beijing.

The first thing Si Ke did after the exam was to handle property inheritance and house sales. Of the three properties, one was a large villa. Because the land had risen in value, it not only didn't depreciate with age, but actually sold for a good price. So, in the end, he received a total of 20 million.

Si Ke did not invest this money in Xie Xingchen's new company, but planned to invest it in stocks himself. It was not because he did not believe in Xie Xingchen's ability to do business, but because he wanted to leave a backup plan for Xie Xingchen.

Xie Xingchen's publicly registered company wasn't large, so he didn't want to attract too much attention from the Xie family. This way, even if it did grow, it wouldn't be too harshly suppressed by the Xie family. As for Si Ke, if Xie Xingchen was suppressed, she would be his backer. If Xie Xingchen's business expanded, she would become his surprise attack. In short, it was a steady and cautious approach.

Just wait! It's just a matter of time.
