My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2043: The Sensation-Causing Outsider

"Yiyi, are you really planning to go back to school?" Madam Aisha asked worriedly.

Jun Yiyi nodded: "Now that the situation has stabilized, the school has resumed classes, and exams are coming up. I must go back!"

Her tone was flat, yet unexpectedly resolute.

Missing this exam opportunity would make it even harder in the future.

"But our status is so unique, and now we’re living under the control of the Councilman’s forces. Won’t they be unfavorable to you? They might take you as a political hostage." Madam Aisha’s concerns were not unfounded. They hadn’t dared to go out easily this month for fear of being captured.

Jun Yiyi smiled slightly and reassured her with confidence: "Don’t worry, if both sides were still fighting, it would indeed be very likely. But now that the dust has settled, taking us, families of the opposing side, as political bargaining chips is basically of little use. Moreover, now the Grand Councilman, in order to gain the trust of the people, must even pretend to be tolerant of families like ours to show that he is a broad-minded politician who does not take his anger out on women and children. In any case, our lives are certainly safe."

She had also been keeping an eye on the news on television and the internet recently. The Grand Councilman had shown a very merciful attitude towards those who once supported the Queen, even captured soldiers, and did not throw them into prison. In public, he promised to treat them as well as citizens who supported the Councilman Faction.

Of course, this is naturally the insincerely performative stance of a politician seeking public favor.

However, regardless of whether he’s just pretending, since he has made such promises, the Councilman Party members wouldn’t dare to easily persecute refugees like them, lest they give the Queen’s Party an excuse to attack them vigorously.

"Your father, has he really abandoned us?" Madam Aisha showed a sorrowful expression. Over the past month, she had always held onto a sliver of hope, thinking there might be unavoidable reasons for his early warning to them.

But a month’s time should be enough for him to take a moment to care for their mother-daughter relationship.

Yet, there was no word from him—only seeing him on television, speaking passionately, accusing the Grand Councilman’s faction of all kinds of despicable acts. Seeing him so active, it was imaginable that he was now very prominent in the Queen’s presence, a leading figure.

Jun Yiyi said seriously: "Mom, we must recognize reality in the future and completely sever ties with this person. Otherwise, it will not be beneficial for us!"

The school had indeed resumed classes, seemingly no different from before the war. Returning to campus, it felt as if the dramatic changes over the past month were just a dream.

However, despite the unchanged surface, everything was already different beneath.

Many familiar faces at school and in the class had already changed. Those teachers and students who had once supported the Queen had disappeared from the campus. The ones remaining were mainly the children of staunch Councilman Faction supporters.

Therefore, when Jun Yiyi appeared at school, she was like an anomaly causing a sensation, with countless surprised, skeptical, malicious eyes making her feel like a misfit prisoner, always under others’ scrutiny and discussion.

"How dare she still come to school, dare she stay in this city."

"Her foster father is the right-hand man of the Queen, now our Councilman Party’s most hated adversary." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"This woman is really annoying, such an eyesore. So many classmates died in the bloodshed, why didn’t she?"
