After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies-Chapter 323: Is it a Means of Malicious Competition

"I do want to go, but you also know PingAn's situation. This child has been despised since he was born. If I leave again, he will have no chance to survive." Guo Momo said with red eyes. It was unclear whether she felt heartbroken for the child or for herself.

"It's not that exaggerated." Zhi Xia could only comfort her, "With such a good mother like you who loves and cares for him so much, PingAn is better off than having many relatives."

Guo Momo wiped the corners of her eyes and forced a smile, "You're right. And there's my young auntie, such a good stepmother to him, PingAn is a lucky child."

Zhi Xia was also amused by her.

After trying the cream for a few days, Wu Lei's originally rough complexion visibly became more delicate, which greatly surprised him.

Ultimately, he still decided to temporarily give up his stable life for now and leave the snack stand to Wu Xiaohua to manage first.

Zhi Xia understood what he meant. He and Hu Zhou were different after all. It would be far away and the emperor was far away. If he took the money and ran away, Zhi Xia really couldn't do anything to him.

And leaving Wu Xiaohua behind was to leave a way out for himself, which also reassured Zhi Xia. He only had this one son, he couldn't possibly abandon his son for money.

This was Wu Lei's sensible approach to things. He thought of it himself without needing others to suggest it.

Although Hu Zhou had money, he did not remarry. There were many proposals for him, but he was afraid it would hurt his daughter, so he declined them all.

But now he had to go to such a distant place, his daughter's whereabouts became a big problem, and he didn't have any relatives to help take care of her.

After thinking it over, he could only ask Zhi Xia for help.

Fortunately, Yue Ya was three years old already. She didn't need to be led around or carried. She played with Little Sixth and nearby children during the day, and slept with Zhi Xia at night.

Wanqing also liked this little sister and was especially enthusiastic about dressing her up beautifully. She even asked Zhi Xia to make her a few nice princess dresses, insisting on dressing her up like a doll and showing her off as her own sister when they went out.

Fortunately, Yue Ya was a girl who liked beautiful things and enjoyed being dressed up. She was well-behaved and made Zhi Xia's heart melt.

As a mother of a daughter, her own daughter's temperament was not girly at all. She was like a wild monkey every day, even crazier than her brother.

The triplets, including Little Sixth, were all obediently managed by her. Little Fourth had said behind her back that big sister was a tigress. When she overheard it, he begged her not to tell big sister.

Zhi Xia felt both happy and worried - happy that she could manage her brothers so Zhi Xia didn't need to worry, worried that her daughter didn't act like a girl.

Seeing that Yue Ya had no issues adapting after two days, Hu Zhou finally set off with Wu Lei.

On the second day after arriving in Shenzhen, Hu Zhou ran next door to report to Zhi Xia that they had arrived safely, and talked with little Yue Ya for a long time before reluctantly hanging up.

The highly anticipated monthly exam that everyone had been looking forward to came and went in half a month.

Zhi Xia had always treated every exam seriously. Her grades weren't the best but she had always been at the top.

Only this time, she was very casual.

"Zhi Xia, have you seen the school newspaper? The grades are out and the top three spots have been decided." Wang Li said excitedly but also a little disappointed because she didn't perform well and there was no spot for her in the top three.

"I haven't looked yet. It doesn't matter anyway, I won't be on there." Zhi Xia didn't seem very enthusiastic.

"But Guo Momo is on there! That niece-in-law of yours who watches kids, I really didn't expect that she's ranked second in the whole school." Of course, her grades had always been very good too, she had always ranked in the top few. So Wang Li didn't feel surprised that she did so well this time.

Wang Li had just finished speaking when Zhi Xia was stunned.

"You said Guo Momo is on there? Really?"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you? She really kept it hidden!"

Before Wang Li could finish, Zhi Xia had already run out.

On the school newspaper board, Zhi Xia squeezed in and indeed saw Guo Momo's name.

She didn't know what to think for a moment.

She had witnessed Guo Momo's difficult years and didn't necessarily feel that she should abandon her future for her family and child.

But half a month ago, she had told Zhi Xia that she had no plans to study abroad.

Let it go, she didn't have the obligation to explain everything clearly to Zhi Xia, that's what Zhi Xia thought.

Not long after she returned to the classroom, someone came to find her, "Zhi Xia, Guo Momo got into a fight with a classmate. The teacher said you're her aunt and wants you to go over."

Zhi Xia got up and sighed, then went out.

PingAn's eyes were red. He lay in Guo Momo's arms, while Guo Momo's cheek was badly swollen with a clear slap mark.

"Zhi Xia, this is what happened. Liang Cuiping said Guo Momo deliberately poured cold water on her the night before the exam to make her sick and affect her exam performance, causing her to lose the chance to study abroad. But we are still investigating the truth. As Guo Momo's aunt, we also hope you can advise her. If she really did it intentionally, then there's suspicion of malicious competition, which would be a big responsibility for her character. Of course, if she voluntarily confesses, the school will be lenient."

But when Zhi Xia looked at Guo Momo, she seemed completely calm and didn't show anything.

"Principal, teachers, I did not deliberately pour cold water on her. I already explained that I was growing plants on the windowsill that night and went over to water them. The child was fussy and accidentally knocked over the water on the balcony. I didn't expect Liang Cuiping to be passing under the building at that moment and got drenched. I'm very sorry about that, but I really didn't intend to harm her intentionally. Also, my grades have always been better than hers, so I didn't need to take the risk at all."

"You're lying! You doing better than me was last year. In the two exams since the beginning of this school year, I did better than you. And there are no so many coincidences in this world. You clearly did it on purpose!" Liang Cuiping looked at her resentfully, "Principal, I don't accept this. I request a re-examination, and punishment for Guo Momo."

The two stuck to their own stories and neither was willing to compromise.

When it was Zhi Xia's turn to give her opinion, she did not comment, "I don't live on campus and go home every night, so I didn't witness what happened. I'm not qualified to make casual remarks."

It was true that Zhi Xia had a good relationship with Guo Momo these past two years, but the study abroad matter made her realize she didn't actually understand Guo Momo that well.

Half a month ago she said she had no plans, and it had been a morning since the spots were posted, Zhi Xia didn't believe Guo Momo had just found out.

If it were other things in the past, she would have shared with Zhi Xia first. But not this time.

Of course, just because she thought this didn't mean Guo Momo must have used improper means to harm others. She didn't see it herself so she couldn't make random accusations. That would be a fatal blow to either side if she was wrong.

Zhi Xia was clearly reluctant to get involved. She made some perfunctory remarks and went back to the classroom.

Before leaving, Guo Momo pleaded for Zhi Xia to take PingAn away. She didn't want the child to see them arguing. Zhi Xia thought about it and took PingAn with her.
