Bebirth of Revenge: Uprooting the Xu Clan

Xu Xiaoxiao thought she was dreaming.Wasn't she trapped in the basement by Fu Yan, slowly being drained of blood like a sacrificial lamb?How could she still be sitting in a high school classroom, taking a physics exam?The questions she couldn't answer before, even after so many years, she still couldn't answer now in her dream.Throwing down her pen, she lay her head on the desk.It was just a dream; why take it so seriously... Once her blood was drained, she would die."Xu Xiaoxiao! This is an exam, what are you doing!"A roar jolted her, and the physics invigilator stormed over, slapping her desk hard.Startled, Xu Xiaoxiao instinctively sat up straight."Teacher..." The teacher in her dream was an old man in his fifties, with graying hair, wearing a gray T-shirt tucked into a faded belt. His back was straight, and his slaps on the desk echoed loudly.Xu Xiaoxiao realized how deeply she had remembered her teacher's appearance. Even on the brink of death, she could recall every detail vividly..."Can't answer?" The physics teacher frowned and glared at her. "No effort usually leads to failure in exams."Why did even the scolding feel so real? Watching the spittle fly from her teacher's mouth, she wondered, wasn't this just a dream?Xu Xiaoxiao still felt disoriented, but the contemptuous and mocking glances from her classmates were as piercingly real as ten years ago, making her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.With a sneer, voices of gossip arose around her."A bastard is a bastard, can't show any class. She's as dumb as a pig and only got into this school because of the Xu family. Not only does she drag down our scores, but also our status.""Yeah, and she dares to compete with Xu Wanwan? Who does she think she is? Doesn't she look in the mirror? Ugly freak.""She even has a crush on Lu Jin'an. The audacity! How can she dare, being so fat, to have a crush on the school heartthrob?""I heard she confessed. So shameless!"Listening to these familiar insults, Xu Xiaoxiao looked down and realized it must be a dream. She had returned to her high school weight of 160 pounds.During those years, she endured countless sneers and taunts because of her size, casting a shadow over her youth. Later, her figure changed, and by 21, she became someone everyone envied for her sexy body, yet the shadow of her past lingered.If she hadn't been insecure, how could she have fallen for Fu Yan's false kindness, willingly trapping herself in his cage, ultimately being locked in the basement, drained of blood for a ritual...Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. Even in a dream, she wouldn't let her past shadows haunt her!The exam bell rang, and Xu Xiaoxiao handed in a blank paper but still walked with her head held high, showing indifference. She wouldn't be defeated by insecurity, not even in a dream."Oh, handing in a blank paper and still looking so proud?"The class bullies surrounded her."That's called shameless.""Zou Li, if she knew shame, she wouldn't be standing here."Xu Xiaoxiao looked coldly at the three girls chattering around her, remembering their names: Zou Li, Jiang Ziwei, and Bai Sheng.Three lackeys of Xu Wanwan.Meeting again after many years, she wouldn't let them off even in a dream!She might be fat, but not weak. Growing up tough gave her strength. Her punch made Zou Li scream, rolling on the ground and clutching her belly.The other two got chalk dust in their eyes, and before they could react, they were both punched hard in the face."You dare hit us?""Fat pig, you want to die?"Jiang Ziwei and Bai Sheng both bled from their mouths after the punches.By this time, the physics teacher had collected the papers and left, and the other students were packing up to leave. No one expected such a scene, and they all stopped to watch.They all looked down on Xu Xiaoxiao, but none expected her to fight back.Wasn't she the most lowly, despised illegitimate daughter in the school? The fat girl, daring to rebel?Everyone took out their phones, recording the scene of the school's top outcast fighting back, and quickly posting it on the school forum, causing an uproar.Xu Xiaoxiao fought with satisfaction. The weight of her punches, the flexibility of her body, the satisfying screams—all felt so real, too real to be a dream..."Whack!" Someone hit her arm with a backpack full of books, and the pain shot to her brain.Pain?Wasn't this a dream?Xu Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned.But the next attacking shadow left her no time to think. Dream or not, she wouldn't stand still to be beaten.In her past life, after being expelled, she learned martial arts and even participated in competitions. She slimmed down during that period.Her body reacted instinctively. As Jiang Bai, Zou Li's boyfriend, lunged at her, she dodged and positioned herself for a counterattack.Punch, duck, leg sweep.Her professional moves and swift reactions drew cheers from the crowd."Wow, that's awesome!""How can she move so smoothly despite her weight?""Even with all that shaking fat, she still looks cool. What's up with that?""A woman who can fight men, isn't that cool?"Amid the admiration, a sharp female voice pierced through the commotion."Xu Xiaoxiao! Stop!"At the same time, Xu Xiaoxiao used a deadly scissor kick, her legs clamping around Jiang Bai's neck like giant pincers, making his face turn red."Le... let..." He couldn't even speak."Let go of Jiang Bai, let him go!" Zou Li screamed.Xu Wanwan, the voice that just shouted, walked out from the crowd, looking incredulously at Xu Xiaoxiao pinning Jiang Bai down. Xu Wanwan's eyes widened, filled with disappointment and pain."Xu Xiaoxiao, how could you do this in public... Didn't Dad teach you never to disgrace the Xu family? Must you do such shameful things, must you be so cheap?"
