Chapter 44 - Cold Goddess (1/2)

”Zhao Zhen?” Bai Qing was shocked.

Or at least, she pretended that she was since it would be her first time hearing it and it was not really some sort of good news.

”Why would she do that?”

The other woman looked around again, fearing others would accidentally eavesdrop. But they were in an unpopulated corridor and no one was walking since it was time for class. Bai Qing was excused from the professor directly by Cao Hua with the pretext that she had another task from another professor to be passed to the campus belle.

”... Didn't you give hints to that suitor of yours that he has no right to pursue you because he is taken? That's how it all started. The guy broke up with the girl despite her suicide threats. Who knows that Zhao Zhen will really do it?”

If the one speaking with Bai Qing was another person, she would surely fake concern and act like she couldn't take the blow of a possible death being linked to her.

However, since it was just Cao Hua, she fearlessly showed a nonchalant face.

The first time that this kind of stuff happened to her, she did become much shaken that she vomited all day long.

The guilt was very strong since she couldn't help but think if she hadn't hinted that to the boy pursuing her, the tragedy wouldn't happen.

However, the same repeated happenstances wore down the guilt and eventually turned into disdain for those women who kept doing the same thing just because their boyfriends left them.

Why would they do that?

For a single man's affection, they could threaten, or even take their own lives?

Why don't they love themselves first and enjoy their youth by beautifying and surrounding themselves with men who would deify and bow down at their feet?

She grew to believe that it was not her fault. All she did was to become very likable and beautiful that men couldn't stop fawning and loving her.

What was the life of death of women or even men liking those suitors of hers had to do with her?

Conceit and arrogance wear down the guilt and self-remorse until it turned her into the two-faced cold-hearted woman that she currently was.

Bai Qing listened to the girl's rambling for a while.

When the woman asked her what she would do about the suitor who broke up with that Zhao Zhen, she only shrugged her shoulders and said,

”I won't ever see that guy again. That simple. Why would I let his soiled reputation as a heartless bastard sully mine?”

”People knew he's enamored with you. Everyone has a brain, they will connect that woman's death to you and him.”

”I'll simply release a statement on the social media that I only see him as a friend but now that I see how he treated his girlfriend, I'll be cutting ties with him.”

Her words sounded so heartless to Cao Hua. But the violet-wigged repeated student only smiled and teasingly commented,

”Oh? Cutting ties and at the same time, throwing rocks at your poor admirer?”

The female lead parted with the woman from the Business Department after another shrug.
