Xu Yao was left speechless. She knew that she was in the wrong and did not dare to say more. She bit her lip painfully, her gaze shifting in guilt toward the wine glass in Ji Nuan’s hand.
She was worried that Ji Nuan would really pour the glass of champagne on her.
It had been sufficiently humiliating when President Mo did it earlier. If Ji Nuan were to do it again…
Ji Nuan glanced at the puddle of wine Xu Yao had left on the ground earlier, before turning toward her: “I didn’t intend on making a fuss. However, I am someone who maintains a low profile when a low profile is necessary. Naturally, I’ll make sure to return an eye for an eye when revenge is necessary.”
Xu Yao immediately stiffened; flustered about what Ji Nuan had in mind.
The crowd watched as Ji Nuan swayed the wine glass in her hand and unhurriedly approached Xu Yao. As she came to a stop before Xu Yao, she lifted the glass slightly and began pouring it down her waist. Xu Yao remained still even after half of the glass was empty, and the champagne was gradually dripping down her skirt, Her lips had turned white from the way she was biting it, and her disbelieving eyes were fixed on Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan watched as the champagne dripped downward. Her gaze sudden flitted toward Ling Feifei, who was hiding behind the school leader: “It’s quite a waste for the champagne to spill this way. Does Miss Ling want to have a few sips of it?”
Her intention was clearly for Ling Feifei to crawl on the ground and drink the champagne that was dripping off of Xu Yao’s skirt.
Just as the crowd began to wonder why Ji Nuan was targeting Ling Feifei, Ji Nuan’s red lips moved. Her voice was unhurried, “Didn’t you enjoy taking photos of us secretly, posting it online, and slandering us behind our backs? You were so brave then. Why are you hiding behind the school leader now?”
The crowd’s puzzled gaze immediately cleared.
It turns out that the true instigator had been Ling Feifei!
Ling Feifei kept shrinking back, refusing to speak. Earlier, even without Mo Jingshen’s appearance, Ji Nuan and Feng Ling were sufficient to keep her wary. Now that Mo Jingshen was here, she truly did not dare to make even the slightest noise.
She bit her lip, hiding behind the school leader. As everyone’s gaze shifted toward her, she kept her head lowered.
The school leader knitted his brows and turned back to inquire, “You really did such a thing?”
Ling Feifei shook her head with force but did not dare to lie. At last, she shifted her pleading gaze onto Bai Wei, who stood behind Ji Nuan. She hoped that Bai Wei would take their relationship as roommates into account and help her.
However, when Bai Wei’s gaze landed on her in disdain, she only coldly curved her lips. Her eyes appeared to be saying, ‘You asked for it.’
In an instant, she became the target for public humiliation. Even though Ling Feifei’s initial goal was to ruin Ji Nuan’s reputation and for her to shy away from the anniversary party out of shame, the consequences were actually the opposite!

This was, after all, T University’s one-hundred-year-anniversary celebration. As the earlier episode only involved a small conflict between students, the celebration activities had to continue. Furthermore, because of Mo Jingshen’s appearance, all of the school leaders were radiant with joy. They introduced and recommended each other, one after another, to Mo Jingshen.
The final activity for the celebration was focused on the students. The school leaders and students participated in various indoor games, similar to those that would grow to become popular in ten years. They played games such as racing across pebbled acupuncture mats, jump rope, indoor tug-of-war, musical chairs, and truth or dare. As a result, the entire venue was filled with laughter.
