Chapter 73: Chapter 73: The Humiliation and Beating of a Forced Visit Chapter 73: Chapter 73: The Humiliation and Beating of a Forced Visit “Do you like her?” Han Jifeng looked up and asked.
Qin Yueru smiled faintly, “What’s the use of me liking her? It’s up to you. A wife is married to live with you, not with this old hag.”
That night, Han Jifeng returned to his room and stood by the window for a long time.
When his mother uttered those words, another voice flashed through his mind: “Jifeng, Ah Li is your wife, be nicer to her.”
It was also Qin Yueru’s voice.
Yet, he couldn’t distinguish whether it was a dream or a hallucination.
The next day, Tang Li slept soundly until dawn.
Since her rebirth, there had been few nights not haunted by nightmares.
There were two English classes on Monday morning.
Tang Li got out of bed to wash up and woke up Wu Xuehan, who was drooling on her pillow.
They arrived at the classroom about ten minutes before the class started.
Finding their seats, Wu Xuehan murmured softly, “Strange, why don’t I see Yu Sui and Yiniing?”
They used to be in the same dormitory, where Yu Sui and Jiang Yiniing were always the most eager to get to class, arriving half an hour early, even if just to play with their cellphones.
“Perhaps they’ve split up,” Tang Li said, sliding her backpack behind her.
Until the class bell rang, neither Yu Sui nor Jiang Yiniing had appeared at the classroom door.
A class lasted forty-five minutes.
During the break, Tang Li got up to go to the bathroom.
Less than two minutes after she left, a middle-aged woman wearing a nude-colored blouse and a black A-line skirt walked into the classroom, carrying a purse. Her dignified and graceful bearing attracted the gazes of many students.
The beautiful woman approached unhurriedly, with an unhidden, sharp aura about her.
She looked around the seats and asked, “Who is Tang Li, the Drama major?”
The classroom fell silent for a moment.
Wu Xuehan was eating some Kraft biscuits to refuel when she suddenly heard Tang Li’s name. Looking up, she saw an auntie with a not-so-friendly face, assuming it was an elder acquainted with Tang Li, and stood up right away.
The middle-aged woman then approached her, tapping her high heels.
Wu Xuehan grinned and was about to greet “Auntie” when she was harshly slapped on the face!
“You little slut! If your parents didn’t teach you humility, then I’ll teach you a lesson today!”
“…” Wu Xuehan covered her face in shock, not understanding what was happening.
The other woman grabbed her hair viciously and twisted her head to address the other students, “This student named Tang Li has been sowing discord among her roommates. If she can’t perform in the musical, she makes sure others suffer injuries and can’t either.
I would also like to ask your teachers, how can the school admit such a vicious student? Does your school only care about grades and completely ignore moral corruption?!”
Wu Xuehan’s scalp tightened from the yanking, her eyes brimming with tears from the pain. Caught in the gaze of so many classmates, with students from the next classroom coming to watch at the door, the embarrassment was too much for her. She couldn’t help but speak up, “Auntie, is there some kind of misunderstanding here?”
“Misunderstanding?” The middle-aged woman sneered, slapping her again.
Wu Xuehan’s left cheek swelled up from the hit, burning with pain.
The woman swung her purse, striking her repeatedly, harder with each hit, “Stop pretending! You shameless wretch! Not content with your own misery, you begrudge others their happiness! For your wicked heart, for the people you hurt!”
Tang Li came out of the bathroom, and several boys ran past her.
“Quick, come look, a girl from the Drama major is getting her hair pulled and thrashed in the classroom!”
“Who is it? What happened?”
“It’s Tang Li, the one whose post was spammed on the forum. The person hitting her seems to be her roommate’s mother, Wang Li said they’ve already made her bleed at the corner of her mouth!”
