The woman looked at Ruan Xue with an incredulous face, unable to believe that she would treat her with such a nasty attitude.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that? I’ll have you know my brother is... "
"Xiao Ying! What are you doing here?!"
Before the woman could finish speaking, a man’s voice sounded behind her, cutting off her words.
The woman’s face stiffened, and she turned around to see a man with glasses hanging on his nose and a face full of acne, staring at her in disbelief.
"Ah Zheng! Is it because this woman seduced you that you broke up with me? Ah Zheng, please don’t leave me, okay?" The woman took two steps forward and reached out to grab the arm of the man named Ah Zheng.
Ah Zheng’s face turned red, and he looked around awkwardly, then glanced at Ruan Xue and said irritably, "Xiao Ying, stop making a scene! Let’s go home and talk about it!"
"I won’t! I want it to be clear right now! Ah Zheng, I brought my brother here today, and you have to explain this to me! Why did you break up with me? Why?" The woman cried and yelled, her shrill voice was like fingernails scraping a blackboard, giving everyone the chills.
Seeing more and more onlookers gathering around, Ah Zheng broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, "Stop it! We’re just not suitable for each other! It has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"What’s not suitable? Just a few days ago I saw you with roses confessing your love in front of this vixen!" The woman screamed hysterically.
Ah Zheng’s face turned red, and he was visibly flustered, as if caught red-handed.
At that moment, Ruan Xue, who had been silently observing the drama without speaking, suddenly slapped the table and realized, "Ah! I remember now! A few days ago, the one who blocked my way to the cafeteria, insisting on reciting some nonsense poem to me with roses in hand was you?! Damn! If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve almost forgotten. Were you trying to set me up on purpose? Don’t you know I’m allergic to pollen? Not only did you keep me from eating, but you also made me sneeze all night long!"
As Ruan Xue rolled up her sleeves, she looked at the woman named Xiao Ying with a look reserved for idiots and said, "Look here, girl, are your eyes crooked? You’re willing to stoop so low for a man like that? You might look a bit old, but at the very least you pass muster with the people and the nation! You don’t have to degrade yourself so much."
Ruan Xue’s words caused Ah Zheng’s face to turn various shades of red and white, as if he were a color-changing palette.
However, before he could say anything, the woman called Xiao Ying grew upset.
"Who are you calling ugly? Who are you talking about? Ah Zheng is a man of substance! What right does a vixen like you have to say who’s ugly?!" With her sleeves rolled up and fuming with anger, she reached out to grab Ruan Xue’s hair but was dodged nimbly by Ruan Xue.
"Damn! Talk is talk, but you actually lay a hand on me? Dude, you sure have a knack for picking up chicks! If you’re ugly, just read more books—going out and harming society ain’t cool!" Saying this, Ruan Xue pushed Tang Lin, who was standing in front of her, aside and threw a kick right into the woman’s stomach, "I’ll tell you, you keep calling me a vixen, and I’ve put up with you for a long time! Even if I were a vixen, I wouldn’t be interested in such a man!"
