Chapter 501: Chapter 483: Provoking Public Fury

"Liu Yongqiang, when have you ever seen me bully anyone because of my family’s status? Everyone needs to be responsible for what they say, and babbling nonsense is not a good habit."

Zhao Xuan’s patience started to wear thin. Her grandfather had always provided financial support to those students openly in the name of Zhao De’an of the Zhao Group. If Liu Yongqiang cared at all, he would know she was the granddaughter of Zhao De’an, the founder of the Zhao Group that sponsored him, and his only relative.

Zhao Xuan didn’t mean to demand repayment for gratitude, but she was also unwilling to see person after person, who her grandfather supported, turn out to be ungrateful. Especially after what had happened with the Bai Family, she felt a profound disgust for those who took advantage of others’ kindness and then, without gratitude, turned around and stabbed their benefactors in the back.

She didn’t know whether Liu Yongqiang knew who she was or not, but if he did, he certainly shouldn’t be acting this way right now, siding with Qi Xinrou and slapping her in the face.

With that thought, Zhao Xuan’s expression became ugly, "And what’s wrong with being rich? Ask yourself, do you truly believe that all wealthy people are bad?"

"You say you didn’t bully anyone by using your family influence, so what are you doing now? Qi Xinrou is crying, begging you to go see your boyfriend, why wouldn’t you go?"

Filled with indignation, Liu Yongqiang said, "What I detest the most are people like you who think they are above others just because they have a family background."

Suppressing her anger, Zhao Xuan asked, "Just by seeing Qi Xinrou cry, you’ve decided that I bullied her? I would like to know if you are fully aware of everything that has happened here?"

"I don’t care about the so-called details. I just saw you bullying her." Liu Yongqiang glanced sympathetically at Qi Xinrou and said coldly to Zhao Xuan, "You even made such a nice girl cry. This shows how nasty you usually are. You’re bringing shame on your grandfather’s face."

Zhao Xuan’s face turned cold, and she laughed derisively. She thought through many things in an instant, and finally calming down, she said lightly, "I believe my grandfather didn’t sponsor your education, allowing you the opportunity to sit in this prestigious institution and change your life, just so you could one day unreasonably and unjustly accuse his only remaining relative in this world."

After saying this, she walked toward the classroom door, ignoring the astonished stares directed at Liu Yongqiang, the contempt in their eyes, and Liu Yongqiang’s face turning crimson with embarrassment.

After a few steps, she stopped, turned back, and scoffed at Liu Yongqiang, "Even if you really want to stand up for Qi Xinrou, at least try to understand the full story first. Find out about the grievances between her and me, learn about the vile things Qi Xinrou, once my best friend, has done, and then talk about who is good and who is bad, alright? It’s laughable. You don’t know anything, and you think she’s pitiful just because she shed a few crocodile tears?"

Liu Yongqiang clenched his fists, his face turning ashen. After he spat out the phrase ’You’re bringing shame on your grandfather’s face’ and heard Zhao Xuan uncompromisingly reveal that it was her grandfather who sponsored him, the contemptuous looks from his classmates made him feel utterly disgraced.

Wasn’t he taking the sponsorship from Zhao Xuan’s grandfather just because he was poor?

What’s wrong with being poor?

He was already working hard, studying to better himself, yet everyone looked down on him just because of his poverty...

In a flurry of resentment, Liu Yongqiang began to speak recklessly, "Yes, it was your grandfather who sponsored me, but doesn’t my own hard work count for anything? Who gave you the right to humiliate me with your grandfather’s money?"

Liu Yongqiang’s words made everyone’s eyes widen, and then each person looked at him as if he were a monster. Even his good friend Ma Qisheng, who was also a poor student like him, couldn’t help but stare at him strangely before standing up to pull him away: "Liu Yongqiang, stop talking. Let the girls sort out their own problems; what does it have to do with us men?"

"When you see injustice on the road, draw your sword to help," Liu Yongqiang said, invigorated as if he had been injected with chicken blood, shaking off Ma Qisheng’s hand and speaking with righteousness.

"Even if you want to help, you should first understand the true facts of the situation."

Ma Qisheng was infuriated. Just now, he had been looking out for Liu Yongqiang, considering their friendship and mutual poverty, not wanting to see him become the target of public criticism and had kindly tried to offer him an out.

But to his surprise, Liu Yongqiang was not at all grateful and only became more insistent.

Who would have thought Liu Yongqiang was such an unreasonable person?

It seemed better to keep his distance from now on. He didn’t want to be lumped in with someone who betrayed kindness, putting himself in such a miserable situation.

Indeed, in Ma Qisheng’s mind, Liu Yongqiang had been categorized as someone who forgets kindness and betrays it.

They had been classmates for three years; anyone with clear sight could see that between Zhao Xuan and Qi Xinrou, Zhao Xuan was actually the more naive girl. Despite her family’s good circumstances, she had never shown off, and she had a pretty good temper too.

Anyone with a shred of rationality would realize there must be more to the story for such a person to suddenly fall out with Qi Xinrou.

Thinking about the rumors he had vaguely heard these past few days, all leaning towards Zhao Xuan’s side, Ma Qisheng’s gaze toward Liu Yongqiang grew even stranger. He couldn’t believe Liu had not heard those rumors, especially since he had just learned that Zhao Xuan’s grandfather was the benefactor who had funded his education.

His own benefactor had been harmed by Baili Chengye’s father and was now lying in the hospital on the brink of death. Yet, instead of worrying about visiting the hospital, he dared to stand here and irresponsibly accuse his benefactor’s only granddaughter of not comforting the son of the man who harmed her grandfather?

In that moment, Ma Qisheng laughed derisively and firmly let go of Liu Yongqiang’s hand, returning to his own seat: "I see that our ideas are too different. Those who do not share the same values cannot make plans together. It really isn’t suitable for us to continue being friends. It’s better to not associate with each other in the future."

"You?"

Liu Yongqiang, trembling with rage, pointed at Ma Qisheng’s nose and cursed, "Fine, if you don’t want to be friends, we won’t be friends. Do you think I am eager to be friends with you? Having a friend who only knows how to suck up to the rich, to speak for them, I find that a disgrace..."

"What’s wrong with rich people? Did they bother you? Can you M stop blaming the rich at every turn?"

Before Liu Yongqiang could finish his sentence, suddenly someone stood up, slamming the table and berating him: "If you’re so bold, you should have never accepted the sponsorship from Zhao Xuan’s rich grandfather to attend school."
