"Yo, isn't this Ling Xi? You've come to school! But I heard you attempted suicide? Turns out it was just an unsuccessful try!" Just then, an annoying female voice came from the side.
Ling Xi turned around to see Lin Qi, who was hooked onto Qi Yuanfeng's arm, slowly approaching her. Her lips curled up slightly, but her eyes remained ice-cold.
There's a saying that effortless success comes when you least expect it; to have someone come to her, seeking abuse so willingly, was indeed a first for her!
Knowing that Ling Xi was returning to school today, Lin Qi had clung to Qi Yuanfeng early in the morning, claiming she wanted to go out to buy breakfast. In reality, she wanted to ambush Ling Xi at the entrance, just to humiliate her; to humiliate her own defeated lackey.
She had always disliked Ling Xi.
One reason was that Ling Xi was much prettier than her, and the second was that even though she was Qi Yuanfeng's official girlfriend, Ling Xi always seemed to be competing with her. Also, for some reason, she felt that both Leng Yichen and Qi Yuanfeng, along with the other two young masters, seemed to be deliberately indulging her.
It was as if they could unconditionally tolerate any mistake she made!
She was jealous of her, insanely jealous of Ling Xi; hence she had taken advantage of the absence of the other three young masters that day to humiliate Ling Xi as Qi Yuanfeng's girlfriend, no matter the cost.
But, Qi Yuanfeng didn't stand up for her; thankfully, he didn't help Ling Xi either and just quietly watched, watching Ling Xi lose face in front of him. However, later on, Qi Yuanfeng actually turned fierce towards her for Ling Xi's sake; it was the first time he had been so harsh, speaking to her with such ferocity.
That was also when she found out Ling Xi had attempted suicide!
At the time, she was secretly thrilled for quite a while; it was just unfortunate that Ling Xi, with her strong will to live, actually survived!
And on the first day of her return, she was so close with the Leng heir that it filled her with even greater hatred.
She had tried deliberately to get closer to the Leng heir, but was harshly ignored every time. To think that today, she would see the Leng heir being so affectionate toward Ling Xi, even smiling so indulgently, as if Ling Xi were a precious jewel in his eyes.
Were they, could they be together?
Impossible!
Lin Qi immediately denied it; little did she know that if it were not for her status as Qi Yuanfeng's girlfriend, Leng Yichen would have long since expelled her not only from Beijing University but also from Beijing—to rid their sight of her. How could she possibly have the chance to be here causing trouble!
Looking at the arrogantly triumphant woman in front of him, as if she's a mere clown on a tightrope, Leng Yichen's face instantly turned icy.
Bullying his precious family member, and he hadn't even settled accounts with them. Now, they dared to humiliate the cherished princess of the Leng Family. If he wasn't averse to hitting women, he would have gone up and given her a good thrashing earlier.
There's a saying that there's a limit to tolerance, and beyond that, there's no need for further endurance. Leng Yichen took a step forward, preparing to confront the situation.
Seeing her brother so furious, ready to roll up his sleeves and dive into a fight, Ling Xi's expression gradually warmed.
She quite enjoyed the feeling of being protected by her family.
However, she herself could handle such a simple minor character.
She reached out to hold Leng Yichen back, who was ready to stride forward and fight. Ling Xi took a slight step ahead, her pitch-black eyes revealing profound chilliness. A cold and indescribable aura emanated from her, causing the onlookers, originally excited for the drama, to shiver uncontrollably, instinctively backing away, as if the person standing before them wasn't the ridiculed Ling Xi from before, but rather a ferocious beast.
