Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Believe It or Not, I Will Tear Your Mouth Apart

Hu Jiaojiao never expected Gu Qili to be so direct with her insults, and she felt so wronged that her tears fell like broken strings.

Whispers and murmurs from the surrounding crowd had already begun to gather.

Gu Qili didn’t care, she had long since become inured to such criticism.

"Hu Jiaojiao, you keep calling me the perpetrator, dare I ask, who was it that ’accidentally’ knocked over the stone pot, injuring Chen Yishu? It was you, not me."

Hu Jiaojiao bit her lip, her small hands clenched tightly.

"You love to chase after someone who doesn’t care about you, and I don’t give a damn. You desperately want to marry into the Chen Family, and I don’t care about that either. Whom you like has nothing to do with me, so now please get out of my sight, you make me sick."

"Qiqi, how can you be so heartless? I know you’re down on your luck right now and have a big temper; you’re angry because you think you’re not good enough for Yishu, but that doesn’t mean you can take it out on me."

"Hu Jiaojiao." Gu Qili couldn’t contain her irritation, "I didn’t want to accept his request initially, but just because of what you said today, now I have to accept it."

Her expression now must have been terrifying, one that Hu Jiaojiao had never seen from Gu Qili before. Hu Jiaojiao was somewhat startled and spoke with a pitiful tone: "Qiqi, I thought of you as a friend. Don’t bully me too much, I believe Yishu will eventually see you for who you really are."

"Get lost; if you don’t leave now, do you believe I will tear your mouth apart?" Gu Qili feigned to strike her, and Hu Jiaojiao, somewhat scared, covered her face and ran away.

"And the rest of you, what are you looking at?" Mickey admonished the onlookers: "Didn’t you hear the bell for class?"

Because Hu Jiaojiao suddenly caused such a scene, they were late for class.

After being lectured by the professor in front of the whole class, the two of them returned to their seats feeling deflated.

"That Hu Jiaojiao is so despicable." Mickey took out her book, still not over her anger, and had really wanted to roundhouse kick that hypocritical face just then.

"It’s our Gu Family’s fault for nurturing an ingrate like her, and I was blind to not have seen her true colors after all these years of friendship," Gu Qili sighed silently, her mood at rock bottom.

"Mickey, I think the most likely person to have spread those photos is Hu Jiaojiao because, up to now, she’s been the biggest beneficiary of this incident." Gu Qili lay her head on the desk and whispered softly, "Because she likes Chen Yishu, so she wanted to ruin my image in his heart; she’s also a top student, but she always got the second-class scholarship because I was above her. If something like this happened, it would make sense for her to get the first-class scholarship. She might not care about the money, but she definitely doesn’t want me to have it easy. Whatever I have, she must snatch away. After all, she has always been following behind me, and she has enjoyed all the wealth and reputation by basking in my light. I never treated her as an outsider, but she’s the one who thought too much."

Mickey agreed with a nod: "She’s nothing but a sycophantic villain. Now that your family isn’t powerful, she immediately went to cling to Deng Feifei’s coattails."

Gu Qili lay there, idly flipping through book pages, frustratedly saying, "It’s a shame I have no evidence, but even if I had, it wouldn’t matter; I wouldn’t be able to do anything to her. And that day in the cafeteria, she probably knocked over the noodle pot on purpose."

"This woman is too malicious, she loves Chen Yishu so much, you have to expose her true face in front of him."

"Forget it, I don’t have the energy for that, and she’s such a good actress anyway. Talking doesn’t work as well as her acting does."

"Let’s not talk about her anymore, it’s bad luck. Qiqi, your scholarship is gone; how are you going to manage your tuition and living expenses?" Mickey said worriedly: "Otherwise, I could ask my mom to lend us some money, she seems to have saved a bit these past two months."

"No need, there’s a job fair at the school soon, and I plan to find a job to repay Teacher Shang as soon as possible." She smiled and patted Mickey’s arm, "You don’t need to worry about me."
