Chapter 12 : Rich Family’s Young Miss 12 (1/2)

Su Yiyi and gang were punished to apologise to Shi Sheng in front of the whole school at the opening ceremony. Su Yiyi was extremely pissed off as a result. ‘Aren’t they just afraid to offend Xu Chengyue? They only know how to bully those of us who have no backing!’

The events of that day had been witnessed by many people so word obviously got out that Su Yiyi tried to frame someone. Her reputation took quite a hit and she had to deal with pointing and muttering just walking on a road, causing Su Yiyi to hate Shi Sheng so much her teeth itched.

And due to how she was close to Ling Hao, there was quite a bit of jealousy directed towards her by the female demographic of the student population. This matter just made her life worse. However, Ling Hao wasn’t here and Nangong Jing was out of the country on assignment so these few days were tough for Su Yiyi.

And Shi Sheng had become the ‘mistress’ of somebody influential due to the rumours about her being kept.

Because they were punished, An’an and Xia Ning disliked Shi Sheng even more. However, they only dared to use words. After all, they didn’t want a repeat of the lawyer incident.

Shi Sheng was busy looking for a place to rent so she had no time to bother with these people. She felt like if she continued staying together with Su Yiyi she would die of disgust.

Perhaps luck was finally with her for a student just so happened to be planning on going abroad to study, leaving behind an empty apartment that was pretty close to the school. Shi Sheng rented it without hesitation. However, it needed to be renovated so she was stuck in school for the meantime.

……

Once Shi Sheng had paid up, she went downstairs and saw the two people she definitely didn’t want to meet: Nangong Jing and Su Yiyi. Nangong Jing was hugging Su Yiyi.

Shi Sheng was scratching at a wall inwardly. ‘What is this ridiculous probability that I meet them here of all places? Damned plot! You won’t rest easy till you make the antagonist court death!’

“Xu Chengyue don’t you find being a lingering spirit[1] tiring?” Nangong Jing coldly gazed at the woman blocking the road. His chin was raised high as if he was a monarch overlooking his territory.

‘Lingering spirit your ass! You think I want to meet you?’

Shi Sheng swept a gaze at Su Yiyi, who was currently acting like a small bird leaning against a person[2] though her eyes held triumph.

However, when she spoke it was always very softly and gently as if she was being aggrieved all the time. “Ms Xu, I’m sorry about last time. I didn’t do it on purpose. My head was a bit dizzy from the bump so I didn’t know that they were saying such things about you. I already apologised in front of the whole school so I hope you can forgive me…”

‘Look at how sophisticated your wording is, you managed to completely shift the blame away from you. Here’s one like from me(bbb)!’

Hearing Su Yiyi mentioning this matter, Nangong Jing’s face got even colder before speaking in a very impatient tone. “Xu Chengyue, move out from the dormitory.”

“Nangong Jing, have you watched too many mindless soap operas?”

‘Your mom, what, was the school opened by you that I have to move just because you said so?’

Nangong Jing’s forehead throbbed. “Don’t try my patience.”

“I’m not going try your patience but fem- fellow student Su Yiyi over here is definitely going to ‘try out’ your stamina.” Shi Sheng smiled wickedly.

At first Su Yiyi didn’t understand but once she got it her face turned bright red, whether from shame or anger, we do not know.

“Xu Chengyue how can you be so shameless? Is this how Uncle Xu taught you all these years?” Nangong Jing got angry. He never knew this girl who had been courting him for so long was capable of saying such words.

“I feel like I’m much better than you!” Shi Sheng looked innocently. “Look, I wasn’t the one who got caught in bed with someone else in front of my fiancée was I?”

‘Should’ve called more people over.’

Nangong Jing was rendered speechless.

“Ms Xu you’re going overboard!” Su Yiyi raised her head, revealing her tear-filled eyes. “I know me being together with Jing makes you very uncomfortable but matters of the heart can’t be forced. Just what will it take for you to let me off?!”

“Overboard? If you hadn’t done that, how could I have been ‘overboard’ enough to say it out?”

‘Your mom! It’s clearly you guys who aren’t letting me off, okay!!’

Su Yiyi was stuck for words. Her misty eyes gazed pitifully at Nangong Jing, causing his protective urges to rise up.

“Enough!” Nangong Jing reprimanded Shi Sheng in a heavy voice. “Xu Chengyue, this is my last warning. I will never like you so just give up on finding trouble for Yiyi else I won’t let you off.”
