Chapter Seven
ave If you left now, it would look like you’re hiding something.""Mom, I don’t want to deal with those people anymore..." While Yan Luoxi was struggling with Xu Liping, she suddenly noticed that all o...Chapter 7
Ni Xuanyi and Ji Yan were already used to Li Guoguo's arrogant behavior. They didn't pay any attention to her and went to the library together with their books.
The two of them spent the whole afternoon reading at the library, then they went straight to the cafeteria for dinner, and only returned to the dormitory after dinner. But as soon as they entered the door, they sensed that something was amiss.
Li Guoguo held her beloved white dance costume in her hand; she looked mournful and furious, gritting her teeth and glaring at them as soon as they walked in: "You two finally came back. Tell me, who could it be that dirtied my clothes"
Ni Xuanyi and Ji Yan were clueless. They saw splashes of pink liquid on Li Guoguo's dance costume, which looked like the juice from some kind of fruit, but they hadn't touched her outfit at all!
"Li, today after you left the dormitory, I went out with Xuanxuan, and we never touched your dance costume." Ji Yan tried to explain calmly.
But Li Guoguo was in a state of frenzy, bordering on hysteria: "It couldn't have been anyone else but you two There are only the three of us living here. Could it be that I did it myself and then blamed you guys If so, what advantage would there be for me to do something like this just before tomorrow's school anniversary celebration!"
"The dirt on this garment wasn’t caused by you, and neither did I or Swallow do it, Li Guge. Calm down and think carefully where you had left the dress earlier..." Ni Xuanyi tried to reason with Li Guge. After all, they shared a dormitory, and she didn't want things to escalate into an ugly scene.
"How can I possibly be calm This dance outfit was brought back from abroad by my aunt this morning." Li Guge rummaged through her bed for the exquisite packaging bag, waving it in front of Ni Xuanyi's face: "This imported dress is priceless. You won't even be able to afford half a year's worth of food with its price tag! There’s no way it could have gotten dirty!"
Ni Xuanyi was displeased by the condescending tone Li Guge used towards her. She narrowed her eyes and said sternly, "I don't care how much your dress is worth. The fact remains that neither Swallow nor I dirtied it. Cease this nonsense; we need peace to rest. If you insist on causing a scene, report the matter to the police."
Li Guge was speechless for quite some time due to Ni Xuanyi's words. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Ni Xuanyi as if she were looking at an enemy—she had long been irritated by Ni Xuanyi because all the boys in school called her 'campus beauty', which made Li Guge very envious.
Pointing at Ni Xuanyi, Li Guge panted heavily: "Stop pretending to be dignified and lofty. You're the one who’s wicked to the core and has always despised me because I’m better than you in dancing and singing! You secretly plotted against me out of fear that I'd get selected tomorrow. Today, you deliberately dirtied my dress. How treacherous can a woman be"
Ni Xuanyi was speechless at Li Guge’s accusations, wondering when she had become so villainous—without even realizing it!
"Li Guge, shut up!" Ji Yan stepped in front of Ni Xuanyi as soon as she heard Li Guge slandering Ni Xuanyi. “What right do you have to say such things about Xuanyuan What proof do you have Today I spent the whole afternoon with Xuanyuan and we did nothing at all. How can you speak so recklessly”
Are you thinking that because your family is wealthy, you are superior to us and can talk nonsense Do you know how you look now You’re no different from a shrew!
"Who do you call a shrew!" Li Gěgě was so angry that she lunged at Jì Yàn, waving her arms.
Li Gěgě was tall and wearing high heels, making her one head taller than the petite Ji Yan. She came down from above with an open palm, looking like it would hit Ji Yan’s face any moment now.
Ni Xuanyi saw Ji Yan about to take a loss defending herself and habitually seized Li Gěgě's wrist and flicked her aside. Wearing high heels, Li Gěgě lost her balance and tumbled forward, hitting her head on the leg of a desk in front of her. A large bruise instantly formed on her forehead.
Li Gěgě had never suffered losses before and was now refusing to back down. She sat on the ground crying while calling for help, attracting other dormitory residents who came over out of curiosity as well as a dorm manager who inquired about what happened.
Li Gěgě continued to cry and even called her family, saying she had been beaten up at school and that her head was ringing with dizziness, possibly due to a concussion.
The Li family held power and influence in the city. When they heard their precious daughter was bullied at school, a group of people came racing over immediately: Gěgě’s mother, aunt, uncle, nanny, etc., swarmed in. They were ready to pounce on Ni Xuanyi and Ji Yan; fortunately, it was prevented by the dorm manager stepping in between them or else they would have torn Ni Xuanyi and Ji Yan apart.
In the end, this minor but mysterious incident was brought to the principal's office. It wasn't long before Principal大人 demonstrated his wisdom and decisiveness by solving the case within fifteen minutes.
The fruit juice stains on Gracie Li's dance costume were not caused by Gracie herself, nor were they due to Ni Xuanyi or Ji Yan; instead, it was done by Cóng Lěi, who moved into their dormitory later.
This girl named Cóng Lěi had contracted acute appendicitis a few days before the start of school and thus arrived at the school late. She was brought to school this afternoon by her parents.
After eating some watermelon in the dormitory, which they warmed up after arriving, they accidentally stained Gracie's dance costume with juice.
Since Cóng Lěi’s parents were eager to take the evening train back home and hadn't unpacked her luggage, the other three students started fighting while she was seeing off her parents at the railway station.
The investigation revealed that Gracie had falsely accused Ni Xuanyi and Ji Yan of causing the stain.
"Even if what Gracie said wasn’t true, they still shouldn’t have hit her! Look how badly her head was injured; she might even be suffering from brain tremors now. How can such a savage and uncivilized student be admitted to our esteemed G University, which is known for its civility" Gracie's mother, worried about her daughter’s well-being, cried and caused a scene in the principal's office.y chuckling: "If you aren't managing the company, won't such a big company fall into chaos""No worries. I've informed Li An about it; he's been roaming around for so long anyway. It’s time for him to...
