Yao Xiaohui didn’t sound like she was begging Yun Xi for help; instead, it seemed as if she was ordering Yun Xi to help her.
It hurt Yun Xi’s ear to hear that, wondering why her classmate would think that Jiang Chenghuan would listen to her.
“Does she think she can pretend to be a weak little girl in front of everyone else?” Yun Xi scoffed in her head.
Instead of thinking of what she had done wrong and apologizing sincerely, Yao Xiaohui only thought of putting up an act as if she was bullied so that no trouble would fall on her.
What surprised Yun Xi was that Yao Xiaohui had the brains to understand what was important to her at that moment and quickly calculated what she should do.
If it had been other people, they would’ve fallen for her act. However, Yun Xi was used to Liang Xinyi and Yun Ziling acting the same way. Those two could even win an Oscar with their performances, and Yao Xiaohui was just an amateur compared to them.
Yun Xi turned to look at Jiang Chenghuan, only to find him glaring at Yao Xiaohui as if he was toying with her.
He had already seen through what Yun Xi’s classmate was trying to do. However, what baffled him the most was that she had forgotten who he was. There was no way the man who managed to become the head of the Jiang family could easily be fooled like every other man out there.
Logically speaking, most people would side with the weak ones and point their fingers at the one who had the power and upper hand. But unfortunately for Yao Xiaohui, Jiang Chenghuan was no ordinary person.
“Fine, I’ll forgive you,” Yun Xi said, and she noticed the slight grin on Yao Xiaohui’s face that had only appeared for a brief second. “However, I can’t say for sure if Mr. Jiang here will let this go since I don’t know him as well as you.”
“My dear sister, did I ever say I would let her go just because you are willing to forgive her? Do I look like the type of man who can be satisfied so easily?”
Yun Xi looked at her godbrother and chuckled, admitting that he could be ruthless when needed.
Yao Xiaohui didn’t even have the chance to let out a sigh of relief when she heard what Jiang Chenghuan had said. Instead, her body tensed up once again as her face turned pale.
She gripped her fists tightly and turned to look at Yun Xi, not expecting that her act would not work on them. She initially thought that apologizing to Yun Xi would be enough for Jiang Chenghuan to let her go, but that did not seem to be the case for her.
Yun Xi smirked before turning to leave. She could not stand to watch the rest of the cliché scene unfold again.
Zhao Yumo was confused throughout the whole thing until she heard what Jiang Chenghuan had said. Then, she also laughed in her head, thinking that Yao Xiaohui had dug her own grave.
The matter would’ve been solved as long as Yao Xiaohui apologized to Yun Xi without dragging Jiang Chenghuan into it. But, now that the head of the Jiang family was involved in the matter, there was no way that he would let her make use of him.
It was even worse when she said that Jiang Chenghuan would forgive her as long as Yun Xi forgave her. It made her sound like she was saying that Yun Xi was cheating on Mu Feichi with Jiang Chenghuan.
“Yun Xi...” Yao Xiaohui wanted to stop Yun Xi from leaving, but Zhao Yumo blocked her path.
With her hope gone, Yao Xiaohui felt as if she was being played and humiliated. The thought of her expulsion and her embarrassment angered her so much that she had lost her cool.
“You bitch! Why don’t you just die?” Yao Xiaohui roared as she grabbed the flask on the table and, without checking its content, threw it at the person walking toward the door.
“Yun Xi! Watch out!” Zhao Yumo gasped as she tried to grab the flask but failed.
Yun Xi was prepared for anything to happen as she thought that her classmate might do something to her. The moment her friend yelled her name, she had already turned around and leaped sideways to avoid getting hit.
The flash brushed past her shoulder and hit the doorframe.
With a loud crash, the flask broke into pieces. As the liquid fell to the floor, white bubbles immediately formed.
