The boy was tall and agile. With a single kick, he knocked the opponent to the ground. The opponent was still holding a knife, and as the knife’s direction changed, it pierced directly into her own palm.
"Ah." It was the opponent’s cry of pain.
The knife wasn’t big, but it was sharp enough. The blade pierced the palm, and blood flowed profusely.
Yu Shuiling frowned at this sudden turn of events.
"Fangfang, are you okay? Are you hurt?" A crew member hurried over after seeing the person on the ground: "Quick, she’s injured and needs to go to the hospital."
"Wait." Xiaonian stood up and looked at the opponent’s injury. The knife wasn’t large, and while the wound appeared terrifying, it wasn’t very serious: "I want to ask this woman, why did she bring a knife in so casually and for no reason, try to harm Shuiling? Tell me, did someone instruct you to do this?"
In this kind of setting, if it wasn’t premeditated, how could such a coincidental thing happen?
The girl named Fangfang stood up from the ground, clutching her bleeding hand with the other, and sneered: "I just can’t stand Miss Yu. I work hard in the crew, and no one ever notices me. But as soon as Miss Yu arrives, everyone seems to suddenly have sharp eyes. All of this is just because she has a good family background and a capable brother. If it weren’t for that, she’s nothing, not even as good as me. I hate it. I hate that I wasn’t born into a wealthy family, and I hate that no matter how hard I work, no one sees it and thinks it’s my duty."
She played only a small role in the crew, most of the time just doing odd jobs, serving tea, and pouring water. It’s been almost two years of such days.
Without backing, connections, or a network, she might spend her whole life doing odd jobs in the crew. The appearance of Yu Shuiling made her realize some people could live well without even trying.
As long as you have a good family background and good parents.
"I admit I’m jealous of Miss Yu. Her abilities are average. If it weren’t for her background, with her qualifications, it’d be difficult even to succeed in an interview for a maid job, let alone become the leading lady. I hate it. I’m envious. That’s why I wanted to destroy her face. Without her beauty, even with a powerful background, her life would certainly be miserable."
Why do some people have such advantageous conditions from birth, while she works so hard, so earnestly, and yet is no match for a mere finger of theirs?
"You can only blame yourself for not choosing the right family, not others." Yu Shuiling listened to her words and sneered: "If you were as good at choosing families as I am, you’d be as well-off as me now. But no matter how much I envy, it can’t change your birth, can it?" Yu Shuiling never expected someone to become so crazed because of her family background.
"Are you feeling triumphant? Follow wherever you like. If you didn’t have this family background to lean on, you’d find you’re nothing. Do you dare to try?"
"What happened?" The club manager brought Lan Shuixian over. Lan Shuixian glanced at the situation on the scene and asked.
"It’s exactly what you see. Someone wanted to assassinate Shuiling, but this handsome guy saved us and then injured herself. Writer Lan, if I remember correctly, this club belongs to you, right? And it was your suggestion for everyone to gather here tonight. Could it be that you instigated her to attack Shuiling?" Xiaonian glanced at Lan Shuixian with an unfriendly expression.
Lan Shuixian heard Xiaonian’s words and smiled faintly: "You’re overthinking it. How could I do something to tarnish my reputation? Her hand seems badly injured, and the blood keeps flowing. If it continues, she’ll have to go out. Let her see a doctor first. As for how to handle this later, let’s see what Miss Yu thinks we should do." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NoveIＦire.net
"Yes, see a doctor first." Someone echoed nearby: "Keep an eye on her, don’t let her escape. We must get to the bottom of today’s incident."
The person Fangfang tried to harm was Yu Shuiling, and although she hurt herself in the end, no one sympathized. It seemed deserved.
"Wait." Xiaonian stopped them as they were about to take her away: "This can’t be settled so quickly. I’ll call Shuiling’s family and have them come over, and also bring a doctor to handle this."
"Miss Quan, isn’t that unnecessary? She just said it was jealousy, after all. She only wanted to teach Miss Yu a lesson, to see her face some setbacks, not really harm her. Miss Yu, with your beautiful and kind heart, as an adult, let’s forgive her this once. Fangfang has indeed worked hard since joining the crew. Today’s incident was probably just a momentary lapse of judgment, but she’s already faced consequences, right?"
