Chapter 508: Fragile Little Heart Shattered to Smithereens (2)
Chu Lingxiu stood outside the door. She had lowered the hand she was about to use to open it, and it remained at her side.
Until the dorm room door was suddenly pulled open from within.
"Whoa, who are you? What are you doing just standing there? You scared the life out of me!"
The person who opened the door was Cao Yuqing. It was getting late, and since she couldn’t stay in Jiang Jiajia’s dorm room all night, she was getting ready to leave.
But when she opened the door, she hadn’t expected to find someone standing right outside. Her tone instantly turned explosive.
On the one hand, she had genuinely been startled. On the other, she was worried that someone might have overheard her conversation with Jiang Jiajia.
Of course, it wasn’t that Cao Yuqing thought there was anything wrong with what she and Jiang Jiajia had said. Rather, she was worried that if someone else found out about Gu Shuxin’s identity, they might try to beat them to the punch.
Chu Lingxiu frowned. She recognized Cao Yuqing’s voice; this was the person who had just been saying all those things she despised.
Cao Yuqing saw Chu Lingxiu frown. She had expected the girl to apologize immediately, which might have made her feel a little better. But to her surprise, not only did the girl not apologize, she actually had the nerve to give her a dirty look!
Flustered and angry, Cao Yuqing completely disregarded Chu Lingxiu’s appearance and didn’t stop to consider who she might be.
"Hey, what’s your problem? Standing here out of nowhere and scaring someone without apologizing, and now you’re giving me attitude? What’s that supposed to mean?!"
Cao Yuqing’s voice was loud, and with people constantly coming and going in the hallway, she instantly drew a crowd of onlookers.
Chu Lingxiu was, after all, the eldest daughter of the Chu Family. Being the center of attention was nothing that would faze her. However, being stared at because of something like this... Miss Chu was, of course, not pleased in the slightest!
"Out of nowhere? What’s so strange about me standing at my own dorm room door, about to go inside? If anything, you’re the one who should be apologizing for screaming and scaring me."
Chu Lingxiu said, looking at Cao Yuqing coldly. ’Does she really think I’m a pushover just because I haven’t shown my claws?’
’She, Chu Lingxiu, was once a figure that none of the wealthy young masters or heiresses in B City dared to cross. And this girl, some Cao Yuqing, thought she could intimidate her?’
’What a joke!’
When they first heard Cao Yuqing, the onlookers had looked at Chu Lingxiu with confusion. But after hearing Chu Lingxiu’s response, their baffled stares turned toward Cao Yuqing instead.
There was nothing wrong with a girl going back to her own room. But this other one, making such a scene in the dorms on the very first day of school? It seemed like she was deliberately trying to make life difficult for everyone.
"You..."
Cao Yuqing grew uncomfortable under the gazes of the crowd and Chu Lingxiu. She hadn’t expected this girl to be one of Jiang Jiajia’s roommates who had yet to arrive.
In that case, her earlier accusations were completely baseless. Moreover, she was now starting to worry if the person in front of her had overheard her conversation with Jiang Jiajia.
"What about me? Either apologize or get lost!"
It had been a long time since Miss Chu had acted so willfully. Now that her temper was flared, she couldn’t be bothered to care whether her words would make the other girl lose face.
Then again, perhaps Chu Lingxiu never had any intention of letting the girl save face. Based on what Cao Yuqing had said earlier, Chu Lingxiu had no plans to be nice to her at all.
"You... How can you be like this!"
Cao Yuqing was used to being the one doing the accusing and insulting. Now that the tables were turned and she was the one being berated, she was, of course, furious.
