Chapter 33 - Soup Attack (2/2)
She continued raving, “You sold your body to hook up with an old man, fine, whatever. But to make advances towards Ning Mufan? How shameless can you get? What makes you think you’re good enough for the young master of the Ning family? You’re a disgrace to A University!”
Tang Qiu laughed frostily. “Did your plastic surgery go wrong and damage your brain instead? Which one of you saw me hook up with an old man, then throw myself at Ning Mufan? Here’s my advice: apologize now, and I might just forget your immature behavior today.”
“You~” The woman’s eyes bulged in rage. “Me, apologize to you? Dream on! I’m warning you: if you don’t stay away from Ning Mufan, I’ll destroy that little slut’s face of yours.”
All around them, people had their phones out and were recording the scene. Several female students were pointing and whispering at Tang Qiu.
In response, Tang Qiu rolled up her sleeves and tied back her hair. “What’s your name?” she asked the woman, smiling, “You’re from… which faculty again?”
“None of your business!” the woman barked, spitting the words like acid. “Why? Are you looking for a fight?” She wasn’t afraid, not in the slightest. Tang Qiu wouldn’t touch her in front of so many people, and that gold-digging whore was a nobody, with no family name or background to boast about. What
was there to be scared of?
Fury boiled beneath Tang Qiu’s smile. She had been eating her meal in peace, and this woman had come out of nowhere to harass her.
Without another word, she grabbed her plate and overturned it all over the other woman, drenching her with soup from head to toe.
The crowd basked in the woman’s humiliation, elated at this escalation of events. “Tang Qiu!” she howled, cursing madly. “I’m going to kill you!”
“Niu Caijie! Stop!”
A man’s voice cut over them both. He seized Niu Caijie’s wrist and forced her back. The woman cried out in pain. She hadn’t even come close to touching Tang Qiu.
The man rushed up to Tang Qiu and grabbed her hand, running his gaze over her. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she wasn’t hurt. Good thing he had come in time.
“Tm fine, Senior…” Niu Caijie hadn’t hurt her, but Ning Mufan was, with how tightly he was squeezing her hand in his worry. She shook off his grasp hastily and stepped back from him.
Ning Mufan seemed to come to the same realization, because he dropped his hand and adjusted his glasses before swiveling around to face the crazed woman. “Apologize to her, Niu Caijie!”
“Why should I? Look closely, Ning Mufan! You’ve been deceived by this woman’s looks!” Niu Caijie’s eyes were beginning to go red from anger and humiliation. She was standing here, covered in soup, in front of Ning Mufan-the man of every female student’s dreams. It was one thing to be cast off by him,
but now he was even standing up for that bitch Tang Qiu..
