HBWMA -Chapter 184 In Control

Su Miao’s mood was chaotic and heavy. With something like this happening, she no longer had the mind to look for Shen Guiling.

She pushed open the classroom door in a daze. The moment she stepped inside, her unfocused gaze instantly sharpened.

Why is Jiang Huashan here?

And what about what just happened…

Su Miao felt an unexplainable guilt. She even subconsciously touched the plastic bag in her pocket. But soon, she let out a slight breath of relief—that troublesome girl was asleep.

After being classmates with Jiang Huashan for so many years, Su Miao’s impression of her had shifted from “stupid and hateful” at the beginning to “cunning and lazy” now.

After a moment of thought, she turned and left the classroom. But she didn’t go far—she hid in a corner and quietly observed Jiang Huashan.

She watched for a full hour, until the noisy sounds of students came from downstairs of the teaching building. Only then did Su Miao follow the crowd back into the classroom.

Zhou Qishan had searched the auditorium and couldn’t find Su Miao, so she guessed she had gone to look for Shen Guiling. The moment she returned to the classroom, she eagerly asked, “How was it? Miao Miao, did you ask Brother A-Ling? What did he say? Did he come back because of you?”

Su Miao replied indifferently, “I didn’t see him.”

Zhou Qishan assumed her friend’s love situation had taken a hit and quickly comforted her, “It’s okay. Since Brother A-Ling is already back, if you didn’t run into him at school, just message him later.”

Hearing this made Su Miao even more irritated. Her tone turned impatient. “Message him? Why would I? He doesn’t even respond to me.”

Zhou Qishan froze, then awkwardly smiled. “Miao Miao, what’s wrong?”

Su Miao also realized her tone had been too harsh. She immediately stood up. “Sorry, I’m not in a good mood today. Don’t talk to me.” After saying that, she turned and looked toward Jiang Huashan.

Jiang Huashan had already woken up and was chatting head-to-head with Fu Sui’er.

Su Miao hesitated for a moment, then turned and left the classroom.

Zhou Qishan also noticed Su Miao’s gaze and looked toward Jiang Huashan with some confusion.

“Hey! Why does Zhou Qishan tolerate Su Miao so much?”

Zhou Qishan frowned and turned to look at Fu Xiaoxiao.

Fu Xiaoxiao wore a provocative expression, her eyes full of mockery. “Don’t tell me you like Su Miao?”

Zhou Qishan’s expression changed instantly. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Seeing her reaction, Fu Xiaoxiao grew even more amused. “Getting defensive? Stop pretending. There’s something going on between you two already, isn’t there?”

Zhou Qishan slammed the desk and stood up. “You—”

Before she could finish, a blackboard marker flew past and hit Fu Xiaoxiao squarely on the forehead.

“Ouch!”

Fu Xiaoxiao, who had been laughing a second ago, immediately jumped up in anger. “Who did that?!”

Jiang Huashan, who had been chatting with Fu Sui’er moments before, was suddenly already standing on the podium.

“Fu Xiaoxiao, stop talking trash. Come up and erase the blackboard.”

“…”

Fu Xiaoxiao was furious. “Jiang Huashan, are you picking a fight?”

“Nope.” Jiang Huashan held up the duty roster. “You’re on cleaning duty today. I’m in your group. I’m assigning you to wipe the blackboard. How is that picking a fight?”

Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a second. “Why do I have to wipe it?”

Without another word, Jiang Huashan grabbed a pen and threw it back at her. “If you don’t wipe it, am I supposed to do it?”

Fu Xiaoxiao was completely enraged and grabbed a pen from the desk, ready to throw it back. But her lackey immediately stopped her, smiling apologetically at Jiang Huashan.

“I’ll do it! I’ve always done Fu Xiaoxiao’s duty tasks.”

Jiang Huashan nodded. “Fine. Then you can do mine too.”

The girl quickly nodded. “Okay.”

Fu Xiaoxiao was even more furious now and tried to rush forward, but her companions quickly held her back.

“Xiaoxiao, Jiang Huashan is too cunning. Have you forgotten how many times we’ve suffered losses at her hands? We can’t go head-on—we need to do it behind her back.”

After thinking about it, Fu Xiaoxiao agreed. She snorted and sat back down with a dark face.

Zhou Qishan also sat down again, her gaze unintentionally falling on her flat chest, the light in her eyes dimming slightly.

At noon, the entire school was on break.

Fu Xiaoxiao’s lackeys were cleaning the classroom.

“Hey? What’s this bundle of hair doing here?”

“Ugh, disgusting. Hurry up and sweep it away.”

“But… it looks like someone accidentally dropped it. Look, there’s even a phone number on it.”

“Why do you care so much? Xiaoxiao is still waiting for us. If we’re late, she’ll get angry again.”

The girls sped up their work. After quickly finishing the cleaning, they rushed out of the classroom—only to bump straight into Jiang Huashan at the door.

Jiang Huashan said, “I’m here to inspect the cleanliness and see whether you’ve been doing things superficially on the surface while slacking off in private.”

How are you so annoying? The girls were furious, but didn’t dare say it out loud.

Jiang Huashan circled the classroom in a very official manner. After failing to find anything wrong, she clicked her tongue and shook her head.

“What a pity…”

A pity about what? Was she trying to pick a fight?

The girls secretly cursed her for being vicious, while carefully asking, “Can we go now?”

Jiang Huashan waved her hand. “Go, go.”

The girls felt as if they’d been granted amnesty and fled the classroom in a hurry.

“Why are you so scared? I don’t eat people,” Jiang Huashan muttered. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a plastic bag in the trash can containing a bundle of hair.

“Hm? This is…”

She paused, hesitated for a moment, then pinched the corner of the bag with two fingers, almost daintily.

“Let’s just count it as doing a good deed.”

With that, she walked over to Su Miao’s seat.

Just as she was about to stuff the plastic bag inside, an angry female voice suddenly rang out behind her.

“So you were pretending to sleep back then.”

Jiang Huashan: “……”

Su Miao walked up to her, staring straight into her eyes. “You heard everything, didn’t you?”

Jiang Huashan replied, “Heard what?”

Su Miao stepped closer and cornered her between the desk and herself. “Stop pretending. You clearly heard it—why are you afraid to admit it?”

Jiang Huashan rubbed her forehead and pushed her shoulder, forcing her back.

“Why do you have to make things so awkward for everyone? Fake heiress.”

Su Miao’s eyelid twitched. Her expression changed instantly. “Don’t talk nonsense. How can you believe what that crazy woman said?”

Jiang Huashan only smiled without answering.

Su Miao gritted her teeth. “I will prove it to you—that woman is just insane. But before that, you’re not allowed to spread rumors outside. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

After throwing down her threat, Su Miao turned to leave. After a few steps, she suddenly thought of something and came back, grabbing Jiang Huashan’s arm and dragging her away.

“No, I can’t trust someone as lazy and slippery as you. Come with me. I don’t want you going around stirring trouble and ruining my reputation.”

“Hey hey hey! Su Miao, where are you dragging me?!”

“To the hospital.”

“I’m not going. I still have class this afternoon.”

“You sleep in class every day anyway. How dare you say you need to go to class?”

“……”

By the time the two of them were arguing and dragging each other away down the hallway, Fu Sui’er came out from the next classroom.

Shanshan is amazing… Su Miao really took her away.
