Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ left her in a fossilized state with a pale face from awkward hatred and embarra.s.sment.
Women were known for being vengeful creatures.
Jiang Yutong swore she would return a hundredfold humiliation to her!
Indeed, she achieved what she had claimed she would do.
Hence, on the next day, when Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ stepped into the training room, she instinctively noticed the suspicious and doubtful looks thrown at her. The sharp glares she received made her uneasy.
She looked up and could sense Jiang Yutong looking at her from a corner. The woman wore an unscrupulous look on her face as if she were admiring her handiwork.
Endless muttering and whispering… The gossips seemed to transport her back to her student days when she received many hate-filled and judgmental glares from her schoolmates. It was as if they were trying to dig out every secret she had from head to toe.
Man was selfish by nature. When they saw someone better than them, they would get envious and jealous, even to the extent of wanting others’ destruction.
Jiang Yutong was just that kind of person.
In contrast, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ yearned for peace. She was not greedy or ambitious and, most of the time, preferred to enjoy the world in solitude.
Surviving and living in serenity.
This kind of peace had been her constant companion from the start. No matter what kind of denigration and predicament she faced, she was able to calmly wade through difficulties.
Others might view her peaceful nature as lonesome and even apathetic, but it appeared she was just doomed for this ill-fated life.
It was not meant to be peaceful.
She tried to maintain a calm composure as she bugged her textbook to her chest and took her seat in the room.
However, her nonchalance only served to invite more whispering and muttering. They sounded like flies buzzing around her, irritating her to no end.
She lifted her eyes and glanced across the room, looking at the gossipmongers and their uncaring faces. When they saw that, they hurriedly lowered their heads and wordlessly pursed their lips.
When she looked away, the buzzing started again, and it was incredibly frenzied and terrible this time.
One did not have to think far to guess who the culprit for all this was.
Jiang Yutong was the only suspect for spreading rumors among her co-trainees. This was the reason for the suspicious and doubting looks she was receiving. The faces of those gossiping behind her back morphed and distorted into hideous creatures in her eyes.
She could take it no more finally. Pus.h.i.+ng away her desk annoyingly, she stood up and exclaimed, “Have you had enough?!”
Everyone was stunned, and the room fell into a deafening silence. n.o.body expected a meek and quiet person like her to flare up.
Everything froze in that instant.
This went until Jiang Yutong snorted. “n.o.body’s talking about you. Don’t think too highly of yourself!”
“You may be deaf, but I’m not,” she coldly reb.u.t.ted.
The woman was lost for words with her quick reb.u.t.tal.
“…”
Those that seemed easy to bully might not be so.
Some people might look gentle and pa.s.sive, but they were not easily pacified when antagonized.
