Loh Bixin and Lao Wan’s complexions changed drastically, "Xu Jing, you..."
Xu Jing didn’t dare to look at Loh Bixin and Lao Wan. She took out her cell phone and handed it to Mr. Lee, who played a recording. It featured the voices of Loh Bixin and Xu Jing, speaking harshly with a threatening tone.
"Who would have thought, Loh Bixin and Lao Wan crying ’Thief!’ while being thieves themselves. Their ’kung fu’ isn’t too bad."
"What a spectacle indeed, truly a case of the thief shouting ’Catch the thief!’"
"But this Qin Qin is really impressive, to have seen through their scheme and even pulled off a countermeasure."
The crowd was abuzz with discussion; the people who had just spoken up for Loh Bixin and Lao Wan fell silent.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Mr. Lee asked, looking sternly at Loh Bixin and the three of them.
"It wasn’t my business, Mr. Lee. I only suspected Qin Qin because Loh Bixin said her bracelet had gone missing." There was no mention of Lao Wan in the recording, so Lao Wan confidently dissociated herself from the situation.
"Right, Wanwan actually only helped Bixin because she suspected Qin Qin," Ling Shiqi said in a hurry, under Lao Wan’s cue.
Loh Bixin clenched her teeth tightly; she had been warned by Lao Wan just now. For the sake of her family, she couldn’t drag Lao Wan down with her.
Xu Jing lowered her head, not daring to speak any further. Lao Wan was the type who held grudges; since it had been proven that Loh Bixin had instructed her, she didn’t dare to drag Lao Wan down as well.
"Yes, I couldn’t stand Qin Qin always targeting Wanwan, so I framed her." At this time, Loh Bixin had no choice but to admit it herself.
"Since you admit it, come to school tomorrow with your parents for a public criticism," Mr. Lee said coldly, then turned to leave.
"Please don’t call our parents, Mr. Lee. It was all Loh Bixin’s doing; I know I was wrong." Upon hearing their parents were to be called, Xu Jing cried and knelt on the ground, begging Mr. Lee. Could it be an expulsion? No, she didn’t want to be expelled.
Loh Bixin stumbled backwards a few steps, "Mr. Lee, I know I was wrong, please don’t call our parents."
If her parents found out, wouldn’t they kill her?
"There’s no room for discussion; bring your parents tomorrow." Mr. Lee said and left without turning back.
Loh Bixin bit her lip and ran out crying.
Xu Jing collapsed to the ground, sobbing loudly, powerless and full of regret for what she had done.
"Qin Qin, Qin Qin, please beg Mr. Lee for me, I really know I was wrong."
Xu Jing stood up, grabbed the hem of Qin Qin’s clothes, and cried, begging her.
"Let go of Qin Qin. When you wronged her, did you ever think you were wrong?" Gan Tiantian couldn’t bear to watch and pulled Xu Jing’s hand away from Qin Qin.
Qin Qin looked down at Xu Jing on the ground, "I warned you once, it was you who didn’t listen."
Xu Jing’s face turned pale; she released Qin Qin and cried out loud. Everyone around was pointing fingers and talking about her. Even if she could stay at Beijing University, she would be despised by all; a moment’s mistake and a lifetime of condemnation and scorn.
Qin Qin’s phone rang. She no longer looked at Xu Jing but turned and walked out of the hall, ready to answer the call outside.
Lao Wan watched Qin Qin leave and narrowed her eyes, following her.
Qin Qin stood beneath a tree, answering the phone, "What’s up?"
"Is it over yet?" The voice of Mo Yunchen came from the other end, low and seductive, filled with Charm and allure.
"Just a little longer."
"Hmm, I’ll wait for you."
After hanging up, Qin Qin’s lips curled slightly, and she turned sharply, her gaze piercing as she looked at the person before her.
"You were lucky this time, but you won’t always be this lucky, Qin Qin. One day, you’ll be trampled under my feet," Lao Wan bit her teeth furiously, staring at Qin Qin with anger.
"Is that so? I’ll wait for that." Qin Qin passed by Lao Wan, unwilling to engage in further talk with her.
Behind her, Lao Wan kicked the tree angrily, while Loh Bixin approached with her eyes swollen and red.
Lao Wan looked at Loh Bixin and slapped her fiercely, "Useless! You couldn’t even handle one person, ruining all the plans with your ineptitude."
Loh Bixin covered her face with her left hand and clenched her right hand tightly. Having been with Lao Wan for so long, always looked down upon and bullied, she was truly fed up.
"Say something, you useless Loh Bixin." Lao Wan’s foot ache from the kick, her mood was irritable, and Loh Bixin’s approach only directed her anger towards her.
"I’m not useless." Loh Bixin clutched her clothes with both hands, raised her head, her eyes piercing as she looked back at Lao Wan.
"Daring to talk back? Do you want your family to suffer? I call you useless; you are useless. You’re not just useless; you’re like a toad lusting after a swan, even having the nerve to fancy Senior Leng with your looks, you are truly shameless," Lao Wan mocked harshly, knowing full well that Loh Bixin liked Leng Yan but had never openly admitted it.
