Back When I Was the Female Top Dog - Chapter 28

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Theard that Liu Tao was looking for me. I couldn’t help but be excited. At this moment, I really wanted a chance to talk to someone.

However, this person couldn’t be Liu Tao. If not for what happened with Instructor Liu, I would definitely have jumped at the opportunity to have a heartfelt conversation with Liu Tao. However, I had already been sullied. I really couldn’t get close to Liu Tao anymore.

Therefore, I pretended to be very cold and said, “What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”

Liu Tao was silent for a few seconds. He probably didn’t expect me to have such an attitude. This silence made me feel suffocated.

“How did you do?” Liu Tao still asked.

Tasked coldly, “What does that have to do with you?”

Liu Tao was silent for a moment again before saying angrily, “What does that have to do with me? Even if we don’t have that kind of relationship, aren’t you still living in my house? Aren’t you still my sister? Am I not supposed to ask?”

Hearing Liu Tao’s furious tone, I knew that I couldn’t diss him anymore. Otherwise, this fool might directly run out of the hospital to find me.

Therefore, I said, “I didn’t make it, so I’ll still stay in this school in the future. Didn’t Instructor Liu tell you?”

“No, he hasn’t visited me for a few days. He’s probably with that old woman Pan.”

Liu Tao said happily.

I didn’t know what he was happy about, but I didn’t ask. I couldn’t give Liu Tao any other thoughts.

Of course, I still knew who that old woman Pan was. She was my homeroom teacher, Instructor Pan.

Instructor Liu had been pursuing Instructor Pan before. Recently, I had been too obsessed with studying and also didn’t know much about them. I didn’t expect Instructor Liu to really woo her.

I didn’t think that Instructor Pan was old at all. After all, she was a woman in her thirties and was very careful with her appearance. She looked like she was in her twenties and was very beautiful.

She was almost ten years younger than Instructor Liu. Liu Tao definitely called her old because of his personal emotions.

“Oh, I see. Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

I didn’t want to talk to Liu Tao anymore. I just wanted to sleep for a while longer.

Hearing this, Liu Tao began to be silent again. However, it was different from before. This time, Liu Tao clearly did not know what to say.

“What’s the matter? Tell me quickly. I’m very tired. I want to sleep.” I can’t help but urge the silent Liu Tao.

“What did you tell my father before you went back?”

Liu Tao still asked.

Hearing this, I couldn’t help but be surprised and afraid. Could it be that Liu Tao already knew about me and Instructor Liu?

“Nothing much. I just told the truth and begged him. Why are you asking this?”

I lied to Liu Tao. I couldn’t tell him the truth. I was afraid that Liu Tao would find trouble with Instructor Liu if he found out.

“Can’t you even tell me? If that guy makes you do something overboard, you have to tell me. I’ll help you.”

Liu Tao advised me.

“My matter has nothing to do with you. You should focus on yourself.”

I didn’t want to have an intimate relationship with Liu Tao anymore.

“Shen Ling, you don’t have to pretend to be very cold. I know that my father must have forced you to be like this. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to get involved when I fought Wang Hao last time.”

Liu Tao said proudly.

1 knew that with what happened last time, I had already somewhat exposed my true feelings. However, I still refused to admit it. “Liu Tao, you have to know that Instructor Liu was the one who asked me to do that, not me. Therefore, I hope you won’t think too much. It’s impossible for us to be together,

do you know that?”

After Liu Tao finished speaking, he was not as furious as I had imagined. Instead, he said secretly, “My father said that he didn’t know about this at all.”

“Heh, your father probably didn’t expect me to really be obedient. After all, I acted like I was afraid of Wang Hao in front of him and even turned him down.”

I explained forcefully.

“Then why did you still go?”

Liu Tao asked unwillingly.

“Tm afraid of Wang Hao, but I’m still more afraid of your father. If I don’t listen to him, he’ll send me back to the countryside. I don’t want to retumn to the countryside. The poor live there and that’s not the kind of life I want. Isn’t it good for me to eat and drink for free at your house?”

1 felt my reasons were flawless.

It was obvious that Liu Tao had also been convinced by my reasoning. In the end, we were still children. Despite the loopholes, one could still believe it innocently.

Liu Tao’s attitude had clearly changed. At this moment, he probably finally believed that I was a vain person.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Tao fell silent again. After a while, I realized that Liu Tao had no intention of talking, so I hung up. I didn’t give Liu Tao the chance to refuse to hang up again.

After all, if Liu Tao continued to question me, I wasn’t sure that I could still hold back. I needed a lie to explain every question Liu Tao asked.

I wasn’t sure how many more lies I needed to tell him, but I knew that I would definitely make a mistake eventually. At this moment, I decided that hanging up directly was the right thing to do.

After hanging up the phone, I felt even more suffocated. I couldn’t sleep anymore.

I began to think about my experience over the years and realized that the only person who was really good to me was Liu Tao. At this moment, I had already rejected Liu Tao.

I thought of my awkward relationship with Liu Tao. I thought of how Instructor Liu was eyeing me covetously. At this moment, I began to feel anxious to leave this family.

However, I don’t know where I should go after I leave this place. If I leave this place, I can only sleep on the streets. What’s the point?

Ineeded a temporary home. I also wanted to go to school and take the university entrance examination. At this moment, I suddenly understood what my dream was. I wanted to go to university and change my fate.

After changing my fate, I will go and save my sister Shen Qiong. Although she doesn’t treat me well, I don’t want Shen Qiong to stay by that beastly man’s side.

This was because many people were pointing at our house and saying that Shen Qiong was not our father’s biological child. My father was the same kind of person as Instructor Liu. Shen Qiong must be having a difficult time now.

Therefore, after saving myself, I decided that I would also save my sister.

Just like that, I had my first dream.

However, thinking of the current situation, I couldn’t help but feel somewhat helpless. I didn’t even know how to save myself, let alone save Shen Qiong.

What if I had stayed by my mother’s side back then?

I couldn’t help but wonder.

However, as I thought, I suddenly realized something. My mother is my family. If I can’t stay at Instructor Liu’s place, I can go and find my mother.

She was my mother, after all. As long as I found her, she would definitely help me.

As I thought to myself, I made up my mind to find my mother tomorrow and see if she could bring me home.
