Chapter 176: Warning Jiang Xue
Not long after Shen Xi returned to the dormitory, Jiang Xue and Su Xi returned. When they saw Shen Xi, whom they had not seen the whole morning, Jiang Xue taunted, "Xixi, where have you been? You didn’t return last night or show up for lessons this morning. You must have been very... busy. Did you tire yourself out? It’s busy work, soliciting favours all night."
As soon as Su Ni heard Jiang Xue hurling jabs at Shen Xi, she excused herself by saying she needed to use the washroom.
Su Ni’s current policy was to take the long route whenever it involved Shen Xi, more so when Jiang Xue threw herself into the mix. It was best to distance herself from that particular battlefield.
Jiang Xue sneered with contempt as Su Ni fled.
Shen Xi sat on her chair, fearless in her retort, "Everyone will look unclean to you, Jiang Xue. I can understand why. After all, you don’t possess a clean record, so it’s only natural for you to assume the same of everyone else. I must say, you were quite impressive, allowing all those men free reign over your body. What is it they say? Ah. Instantiable. That’s what you were. I’m surprised you had as much stamina as you did."
Jiang Xue’s eyes darted to the open door of their dorm room and quickly shut it. "Shen Xi, that happened a long time ago. The past should remain the past. I would advise you to be more sensible and watch your words. Otherwise, you’ll suffer."
Shen Xi brushed off Jiang Xue’s threat and approached her, one menacing step at a time.
She wore a smile that was not a smile, a ghastly promise of what was to come should Jiang Xue step out of line, one that caused her nemesis’s heart to tremble. Jiang Xue backed away, one step at a time and was soon forced up against the table, preventing her from retreating further.
"Do you honestly believe no one knows what happened or that you could sweep it all under the rug? Your depravity knows no bounds!" Shen Xi’s words were an arrow through Jiang Xue’s heart.
