Chapter 20 - Who’s Going to Regret What? (2/2)

“Not at all,” Tang Qiu gritted out, shaking her head.

Professor Sun snorted coldly. “If you can’t do it, just tell me. If I gave this to Song Siyue, she would definitely take less than 2 weeks.”

Despite his cutting words, Tang Qiu knew that Professor Sun meant well at heart. If he was willing to give her a chance at all, she had to cherish it.

After tidying up Professor Sun’s office, she carried her bag to the library to study the materials there.

“ouch!”

In Tang Qiu’s haste, a woman had knocked into her. She retreated back two paces, only to hear a woman crying out in a familiar voice. Feng Yao.

“Are you blind, Tang Qiu? You knocked into her on purpose!” the woman beside Feng Yao shouted.

“She knocked into me first,” Tang Qiu said, rubbing her shoulder. “If anyone is blind, it’s her.”

“How can you say that, Tang Qiu?” Feng Yao asked. “I didn’t knock into you… it was you… you bumped into me first…”

The grieved expression on Feng Yao’s face, coupled with her pitiful display, made Tang Qiu nauseous. She eyed both women with disdain and turned on her heel, not wanting to waste her time with them.

“How can you be so self-righteous when you knocked into her? It must be because you didn’t have a mother to teach you any manners, you little wretch!”

Tang Qiu halted in her footsteps and leveled a cold glare at the woman who had spoken. “Oh, I’m a little wretch, am I? And what about you? Are you any better?”

“You bitch…” the woman seethed. “It was obviously your fault, but you’re still so unreasonable. Are you looking for trouble?”

Feng Yao moved to restrain her furious friend. “Forget it, Yugi. That’s just the way she is, I’ve long grown used to it…”

“You’re too softhearted, Feng Yao, tolerating her like this.” Tan Yuqi was livid. “If she were one of my servants, I would have had her beaten long ago. She even dared to talk back, the worthless creature, as if she isn’t dependent on your pity for a roof over her head. If she’s going to leech off you like that,

you need to take her in hand. You’re my friend; I refuse to let this slide!”

Enraged, she looked at Tang Qiu and demanded, “Don’t even think of leaving without an apology. Or you’ll be sorry!”

Tang Qiu took in Feng Yao’s performance with silent contempt. “I didn’t knock into anyone. There’s nothing to apologize for.”

“How dare you defy me and bully my friend?” Tan Yugi shouted, her words burning with venom. “You’re going to regret it!”

“Who’s going to regret what?”
