" Fighting in the dormitory? Are you two not ashamed of what have you done?" Professor Yu was so angry that her hands were trembling. It hadn't been a month yet since the college started and yet Qi Qing and Fan Jiayi had caused trouble more than once.
These two could be counted as the troublemakers of her class and with them acting up, there was no peace in her life. Every next day someone would come up with a complaint regarding Qi Qing or Fan Jiayi, if it was not Qi Qing then it was Fan Jiayi. She was going crazy with these two girls causing mayhem in her classroom.
" It's Qi Qing's fault, Professor Yu," without waiting for Qi Qing to push the blame on her head Fan Jiayi spoke up first and tattled on Qi Qing. She glanced at the shocked-looking Qi Qing and then stated coldly, " She suddenly came inside the dormitory and then started blaming me for something that I hadn't done. When I refused to take her blame she pushed me and started to hit me, I was only trying to act in my defence."
" You.."
" That will be enough from the two of you," Professor Yu raised her voice as she stopped Qi Qing from speaking any further. She glared down at the two women and then stated coldly, " I will be leaving this matter alone for the time being as I do not wish to ruin the lives of two grown-up women. You two will be writing an apology letter and reading it in front of everyone else in the morning tomorrow."
"But I…"
" I know what you are going to say Miss Fan but fighting violence with violence is equally punishable. You two were partially at fault which is why I am only ending this matter with an apology letter if this happens again, then despite being an educator I will have to take strict actions against you," Professor Yu warned the two sternly. She was a laid-back teacher and usually did not care what the students did as they were already adults but the bottom line was that they did not disrupt others.
Fan Jiayi was unconvinced, she was the one who was hit so why did she have to write an apology letter? However, under the stern gaze of Professor Yu, she could only agree. Though she was not smart, she was not dumb either, Fan Jiayi knew that if she were to go against Professor Yu at this moment, she would only cause trouble for herself.
" I understand, Professor Yu," thus even though she was not reconciled Fan Jiayi agreed to write an apology letter.
But compared to her, Qi Qing was simply livid. She was the one who was wronged the most and yet she was the one who had to get beaten and even write an apology letter. She breathed heavily while looking at her toes when she heard Professor Yu say, " Did you hear what I just said, Miss Qi?"
" Yes," Qi Qing curtly replied, though she would have loved to quibble. With this incident, Qi Qing was no longer as stupid as before. She was able to think everything clearly with her head, Fan Jiayi had pushed the entire pot of blame on her head and she did not have any evidence to prove that it was Fan Jiayi who introduced her to Boss Lin.
Even if she were to make a fuss, Qi Qing was well aware of how she would be the one who would be pointed out as she was the one who entered the house of Boss Lin as Fan Jiayi did not make an appearance from start to finish by telling her that her father owed some money to Boss Lin and thus she could not appear in front of him.
Goodness knew if Boss Lin even knew Fan Jiayi, wouldn't she be pitting herself then?
" Very well, then the two of you behave," Professor Yu was glad that the two girls were willing to learn and then sent them away but as she watched the two girls leave, Professor Yu could not help but sigh heavily. She was really afraid that Qi Qing and Fan Jiayi would not sit still.
Professor Yu's inkling was indeed correct as soon as Qi Qing stepped out of the staff room she pushed Fan Jiayi with her elbow causing the latter to stumble.
" You…what are you doing!?" Fan Jiayi demanded, she did not think that Qi Qing would be so bold as to hurt her in front of the staff room.
" What? Don't tell me that you are such a princess that even my elbow pierced your delicate skin?" Qi Qing sneered as she looked around and then lowered her head before whispering, " Fan Jiayi, you are really good. You actually fooled me and Jai Lu Li for such a long time but don't forget that your wits cannot feed your stomach nor can they buy you decent clothes, now that you have fought with me. Let's see who dares to treat you better!"
With that she turned on her heels and walked away, her long strands of hair almost hitting Fan Jiayi on the face.
Fan Jiayi's face was a bit pale as she stomached Qi Qing's words. Now that she had calmed down, she realized that she should have acted more carefully. Qi Qing was the only one who knew all her secrets including the fact that her father was an alcoholic good for nothing thug, if Qi Qing made a fuss then her reputation!
No…she would have to come up with a way to make Qi Qing's momentum slow down.
