Wang Ting immediately looked around and was relieved to see that no one heard her. She said with intimidation, "Do you think you can do whatever you want? If you dare to spread rumors about me, I'll make sure you can't stay in No. 3 High School anymore!"
Bai Zhen saw the fear in Wang Ting's eyes and seemed to have gotten something on her. There was a hint of excitement in her eyes. "I knew it! So you wanted to climb into his bed. Unfortunately, you didn't catch his eye. You're angry because you're jealous. After all, you can't even compare to a single hair of Yingying's!"
Then, Bai Zhen said proudly, "Besides, Jiang Lin is treating Yingying well of his own accord. Yingying hasn't even accepted his feelings yet!"
After Wang Ting's thoughts were exposed, she was agitated by Bai Zhen's words. She pointed at Qiu Ying's shoulder and said what she had seen that day, "Qiu Ying, does Jiang Lin know that you were touchy-feely with a man at the school gate that day? Bai Zhen, why are you being so dutiful? Does Qiu Ying spend money on dog food for you every day?!"
Bai Zhen saw that Wang Ting was about to break her hand when Qiu Ying blocked her.
When Qiu Ying heard this, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes. If Wang Ting just criticized her, she could endure it until after the matter was over before counterattacking. Even if Wang Ting played tricks on her, Qiu Ying would not give her any evidence to retaliate against her with. However, now that Wang Ting had insulted the person she cared about, Qiu Ying suddenly wanted to fight back!
Qiu Ying casually placed the glass of water on the table beside her and was about to kick Wang Ting when she saw from the corner of her eye that Mr. Qian was about to enter the classroom with a book. Qiu Ying immediately changed her strategy. She smiled gently and took a step forward to say softly, "No matter who I act touchy-feely with, Jiang Lin doesn't care. I've already told him that I don't want to train with him every day, but he still wants to follow me."
Qiu Ying's eyes were filled with helplessness.
Bai Zhen's eyes widened when she heard Qiu Ying lie in such an innocent tone.
When Wang Ting heard that the man she had been yearning for was being snubbed by the woman she had always despised, her eyes were filled with anger and she raised her hand to slap Qiu Ying.
"Stop!" a stern voice shouted.
At the same time, Qiu Ying raised her hand and grabbed Wang Ting's wrist. She said righteously, "Wang Ting, apologize!"
Mr. Qian's habit was to go to the classroom two minutes in advance to prepare. He didn't expect to see this scene today. He was so angry that he slammed his book on the desk of the students in the front row. "What are you trying to do?! Are you fighting in school? Get out here!"
At this moment, Wang Ting realized that Qiu Ying's words were probably made up to provoke her!
Qiu Ying took a deep look at Wang Ting, held Bai Zhen's hand, and followed Mr. Qian out of the classroom. Coincidentally, Jiang Lin and Yao Yu entered the classroom at this moment and saw that the form teacher was leading the way with a furious expression. Qiu Ying pulled Bai Zhen behind her with a serious expression. Wang Ting, who was at the back, looked unconvinced. The boys were puzzled.
After Yao Yu and the others walked out of the classroom, they grabbed a boy and asked, "What's going on?"
"I think Wang Ting tripped Qiu Ying, then the two of them quarreled."
Another boy winked and said, "I also heard Wang Ting say that Qiu Ying seduced Brother Lin."
Someone else interrupted. "That's right. I heard it too, but they spoke too softly afterwards. I didn't hear them clearly."
Jiang Lin turned to look at Qiu Ying's figure when he heard this. Her back looked as straight as one of the trees he had once seen in Australia—Acacia Mangium. The trunk was straight and the tree was well-shaped.
The bell rang.
The students outside the classroom returned to their seats to prepare for class.
The few of them stood in the corridor outside the classroom. Mr. Qian glanced at the three girls and suppressed his anger before saying, "Qiu Ying, what's going on?"
Qiu Ying recounted calmly, "When I passed by Wang Ting's seat, she deliberately stretched her leg out into the aisle. I was tripped by her and asked her to apologize. She refused, so Bai Zhen couldn't stand it and went forward to help me reason. Then, the scene you saw happened."
Wang Ting immediately retorted, "I didn't stretch my leg out on purpose."
Qiu Ying looked at Wang Ting and asked, "If you didn't extend your leg on purpose, why didn't you even apologize? Moreover, you wanted to attack me."
Wang Ting opened her mouth and realized that she couldn't say those words. If she did, it would confirm the matter of her stirring up trouble.
For a moment, Wang Ting was anxious, but she couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
