Chapter 128: I Brought Up the Water
"Sister Yanmei, you can’t just stand by!" Qian Niannian, who was enjoying the clash between Tong Yao and Chen Yanmei, was shocked when Chen Yanmei decided not to intervene. She became anxious and broke down in tears again. "Tong Yao has been bullying me like this, if you all don’t do anything, won’t I be bullied to death? Isn’t there anyone in our large hospital who could stand up for justice?"
Hearing Qian Niannian’s words, Chen Yanmei, in a strange tone, yelled out loud at everyone.
"It’s not that I don’t want to intervene, it’s just that she didn’t give a damn about me. You all heard what she said, in her eyes, I am less than nothing. I’d rather not bother. Everyone just watches and does nothing, so I won’t interfere. Let’s see who’ll solve their own problems when troubles come to their door. Now, it’s clear to me that there’s a man-eating tigress in our compound, and no one living here can escape her."
Chen Yanmei’s words were cleverly phrased, implying not only that Tong Yao was arrogant, overlooking her, but also suggesting subtly that Tong Yao was a troublemaker who bullied Qian Niannian today and might bully others tomorrow.
No one stands out now when Qian Niannian is being bullied, and no one will when it’s their turn tomorrow.
Having lived in the family dormitory for a month and had run-ins with Chen Yanmei twice, Tong Yao had always thought that Chen Yanmei was a woman with a big chest but no brains, who merely gossiped behind others’ back without any real strategic moves. But after witnessing Chen Yanmei’s words now, Tong Yao had to re-evaluate her opinion.
Turns out, it’s not that Chen Yanmei lacked brains, but she simply felt too disdainful to use them.
"What’s going on? Instead of sleeping at night, why are you all making a fuss here?" A clear and beautiful voice suddenly came from behind the crowd, sounding a bit mildly angry.
Everyone stepped aside, making way for someone. Qian Niannian was unsure about whom to call for backing her up when she saw Yu Shiya appearing like a life-saving straw.
"Doctor Yu, good timing! Please help me out."
