Jiang Li looked at Liu Xu’s lively chatter and also had a smile on her face as she said: “Indeed, with the emperor’s gift, the glory will be unlimited.”
“Oh.” A lofty voice suddenly interrupted, it was Meng Hong Jin. She glanced at Jiang Li and said: “Jiang second miss is also thinking of the fine gift given by the emperor? One really dares to wish. Look at this appearance, quite resembles that person who comes ahead to draw lots.”
Liu Xu frowned: “Meng Hong Jin, your speech is too mean.”
Meng Hong Jin saw that it was Liu Xu and her eyebrows were immediately raised. Her father’s position was lower than Jiang Yuan Bai’s, however, it was more than Liu Xu’s. She immediately said: “I thought who it was, as it turns out, it’s Miss Liu. Why? Is this imitating Jiang second miss yesterday’s ‘speaking out for justice’ on the street? Liu Xu, don’t say that I dodn’t remind you, you better think clearly with whom you play together with. Jiang second miss has a chief assistant father but you don’t. It said that the Chengde Official, Mister Liu, has some troubles……..”
Liu Xu suddenly changed colors.
Even though Jiang Li didn’t know what happened to Liu Yuan Feng, she knew that Meng Hong Jing’s words must not be empty talk. Otherwise Liu Xu wouldn’t show such expression. Liu Xu clenched her teeth and said: “Meng Hong Jin, you must not speak casually…….”
“If you want to say that I spoke casually, then so be it.” Meng Hong Jin smiled complacently, “I merely felt strange, why do you want to offend your fellow schoolmates for a person who’s bound to leave Mingyi Hall?”
“Who said she’s bound to leave Mingyi Hall?” Liu Xu’s head was hot and she blurted out.
“Isn’t it so?” Meng Hong Jing opened her eyes wide and looked at the surrounding fellow students. Each and every girl that was there giggled while Jiang You Yao had an awkward look, as if she was really wishing to step forward to mediate but was utterly timid. Meng Hong Jing smiled tenderly and said: “Do you dare to bet with me? Betting whether Jiang Li would leave Mingyi Hall after the examination. If you lose, kneel down in front of all the people in Mingyi Hall and apologize to me!”
Liu Xu was stunned, followed by anger. She clenched her teeth without uttering a word. If she agreed, Jiang Li had just entered Mingyi Hall and would most likely come last. However, if she didn’t agree, that was the same as hitting Jiang Li’s face in pubic.
