Feng Na ignored He Xin. This woman was a fellow educated youth with her, selfish and always fearing the world would be at peace. How unlucky was she to end up sharing a dorm with He Xin?
This was intentional.
"I want to do my good deed, what’s it to you, minding other people’s business. Xiao Xiao, don’t listen to her. Move your things to my bed, I’ll take the upper bunk."
Feng Na really was a good-hearted person.
Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Sister Feng, thank you, but I won’t move to your bed. I know you mentioned your back isn’t good, so you chose the lower bunk. Climbing up and down the upper bunk might strain it.
That would be a serious problem, possibly even affecting your studies. Don’t just try to keep the peace by sacrificing yourself for others’ sake."
Everyone was watching Jiang Xiaoxiao, waiting to see her reaction.
Jin Xiaomei timidly stepped back.
Earlier, when she was being bullied by He Xin, it was Jiang Xiaoxiao who stood up for her.
Now, she felt a bit guilty, but she lacked the courage to stand up against An Meiqi. Mainly because An Meiqi’s family background was so formidable, with so much backing.
The consequences would be unbearable; she was just an educated youth from a small place, aiming to change her life by getting into university.
Carrying her family’s hopes, if she didn’t gain real skills in the five years here, she’d end up going back to her small town in disgrace, which she never intended.
There’s no way she could shoulder this mountain in front of her.
She could only step back.
An Meiqi looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao smugly, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and move your luggage, what are you hesitating for? I’m telling you all, from now on, our dorm must have a rule. You all will take turns cleaning my bed, and I won’t participate in dorm cleaning."
She was used to everyone in her class accommodating her. No choice, her family background was too good, everyone gave way when they saw her.
Her rules became the class rules, and the teacher couldn’t say anything.
In elementary school, because she didn’t clean and made classmates do many things for her, like carrying books, she was once criticized by a class teacher. But a week later, that teacher was transferred from the school, and ever since, any teacher in charge of their class treated her with politeness.
They turned a blind eye to her actions.
After all, with such a formidable family legacy behind.
Xie Baozhu hurried over to help Jiang Xiaoxiao with her luggage, also afraid of future conflicts in the dorm.
At least give Jiang Xiaoxiao a way out.
No one likes being publicly embarrassed; it would be bad if she held a grudge against them.
While An Meiqi wasn’t afraid, Xie Baozhu was. Over the years, she was always the one to take the blame.
Others couldn’t retaliate against An Meiqi, but there were lots of little things they could do to her in secret.
She didn’t want to make enemies now.
Jiang Xiaoxiao blocked her movement with one hand. Xie Baozhu paused, wondering what this meant?
"I don’t like others touching my things."
Xie Baozhu awkwardly stepped back, "I just wanted to help you, nothing else."
"Alright, hurry up, stop dragging your feet. I still have many things to do here. Quickly move your luggage, Xie Baozhu, then help me make my bed neat and tidy, arrange everything according to my habits at home. Move those two tables in front of me, they’re my dressing tables from now on."
An Meiqi was already instructing Xie Baozhu to do chores.
Honestly, Xie Baozhu was just her little follower.
Xie Baozhu gave Jiang Xiaoxiao a difficult look, "Don’t look at me, I never said this bed had to be made available. Don’t tell me, An Meiqi, that you’re just an ordinary person at best relying on your dad, your grandpa, your family background.
No matter how powerful your family is, you’re still a student at the medical university. Here, you can’t control everything. You rely on your own talent and knowledge, not on family to become a doctor. As for me, I’m a stubborn person. The harder others are, the more I want to test my strength against theirs, even if it means getting hurt.
So this bed, forget it."
Jiang Xiaoxiao’s words completely ignited the atmosphere in the dorm.
Weird, angry, surprised, and excited.
Feng Na sighed, being the oldest in the dorm at 28, among this group of young girls. Her age and experience often led her to avoid confrontation whenever possible.
Moreover, An Meiqi’s family background was truly formidable. If they were to play dirty, their five years at university wouldn’t be smooth, affecting graduation. Initially, she wanted to smooth things over, but who would’ve thought Jiang Xiaoxiao was such a tough nut.
At 17 or 18, so bold!
Being young is good, to have such courage and determination!
In her own life, she had been worn down, knowing when to yield to force.
Everyone watched An Meiqi.
An Meiqi squinted at Jiang Xiaoxiao, taking stock of her. It was the first time she noticed Jiang Xiaoxiao was truly unusual, this woman had such character. Most importantly, she was incredibly tenacious, and she had seen many like her.
Many people thought they had pride, but eventually, life would teach them it was useless. She enjoyed watching people’s pride being slowly crushed by her family.
To see those upright spines bend bit by bit, and finally bowing low to her, that was truly satisfying.
"Alright then, I admire your courage. Fine, Xie Baozhu, go find the director of the logistics department. I don’t believe I can’t handle a little Jiang Xiaoxiao. Jiang Xiaoxiao, right? You’re something, making such a memorable impression on me. Let’s take our time. We have five years! We can take it slowly."
Smiling wickedly and arrogantly.
Jiang Xiaoxiao calmly tidied up her bed.
Feng Na sighed. Now, it had escalated to using influence, nothing they could do. She couldn’t persuade Jiang Xiaoxiao, had to choose to back down.
Xie Baozhu cast a glance at the unfazed Jiang Xiaoxiao, puzzled at who this Jiang Xiaoxiao was?
Most people would be terrified just hearing about An Meiqi’s family background and shrink away.
This woman actually remained steady.
An Meiqi roared, "What are you standing there like a log for? Didn’t you hear me tell you to find someone, go get the logistics director?"
She was well-known throughout the school, thanks to her capable dad and formidable uncle.
This was the prelude to blatant bullying.
