Song Wenxin stood rooted to the ground, momentarily stumped, not knowing how to respond to the many questions thrown at her.
It was all Jiang Beihan’s fault. Why did he have to single her out to make his coffee when he had so many employees to do his bidding?!
Watching from the side as Song Wenxin was being accosted by questions from the rest of the group, Ding Ruqian remarked sarcastically, “Song Wenxin, why are you looking so smug when all you did was make him coffee? But then again, with your looks, that’s about all you’re good for anyway!”
“Ding Ruqian, you should watch your words. Do you have verbal diarrhea?” Song Wenxin asked, irked by Ding Ruqian’s nasty words.
This woman had never had a kind word for anybody, but what she had just said topped it all and she could not tolerate it any longer!
“What about my words? Don’t tell me that you did not want it to happen. You had probably been making eyes at the boss, otherwise, why would he single you out to make his coffee?” Ding Ruqian sneered. She was enjoying herself with her snide remarks and clearly had no intention of stopping!
Song Wenxin was furious and was just about to have a showdown with Ding Ruqian when a bespectacled male classmate appeared out of nowhere and spoke out on her behalf.
“Ding, stop it. We are all classmates. You’re crossing the line here, making these mean remarks about Song Wenxin in front of all of us here!”
“I’m talking to Song Wenxin. Mind your own business!” Ding Ruqian retorted, eyes radiating condescension.
Song Wenxin was also taken aback that someone was in her corner and had actually stood up for her…
“Song’s business is my business!” the bespectacled boy claimed righteously, reaching out with his hand to hide Song Wenxin behind him, presumably to shield her from harm.
Eyeing the bespectacled, average-looking boy, Ding Ruqian sneered. “What a dark horse you are, Song Wenxin! Who’d have known that under that quiet, innocent exterior was someone who could easily manipulate men? I see that you’ve wasted no time in getting someone to protect you!”
“Ding Ruqian, enough. You should keep it down, too. I did not organize this field trip for you guys to turn it into a battleground!” At this time, the lecturer, who had had enough of Ding Ruqian’s unruly behavior, interfered and stopped her.
Ding Ruqian glared fiercely at Song Wenxin before walking away in a huff.
Soon, the group broke up and left the DL headquarters.
Stopping in her tracks, Song Wenxin looked at the male classmate and said, “Thank you for speaking up for me!”
Embarrassed by Song Wenxin’s words of gratitude, the male classmate scratched his head awkwardly and responded, “I just didn’t like her bullying ways.”
“Agreed.” Song Wenxin nodded. Ding Ruqian was a menace on campus, always behaving unreasonably and thinking herself above the law. Although many people had found her obnoxious, they had mostly decided to let things slide and not complain about her, just to give face to her father.
When they had reached the main gate of DL, the boy suddenly plucked up courage and asked, “Wenxin, since it’s almost lunchtime, may I invite you to join me for lunch?”
“Okay, but it will be my treat!” Song Wenxin said, agreeing to the invitation without further thought.
Well, whatever it was, he had indeed helped her out today, so it was just right that she should buy him lunch!
“No… that is not necessary. It will be my treat,” the boy stammered happily.
They had just stepped out of the grounds of the DL headquarters when the phone in Song Wenxin’s pocket rang.
She was baffled for a brief moment before recalling that Jiang Beihan had given her a phone.
Retrieving the phone from her pocket, she noted that Jiang Beihan’s name was displayed as the caller id.
After a brief pause, she accepted the call and responded suspiciously, “Hello, what is it?”
What did he want from her?
