Su Yuqing covered her face, feeling a burning sensation on her left cheek, as if it had been burned, and her earlobe was also in pain.
She looked up, staring in astonishment at the furious Zhang Tingting before her.
"Why, what did I do...?"
She had barely opened her mouth when, *slap!*
Another resounding slap landed hard across the face.
Su Yuqing was so dizzy from the beating that her ears were ringing, and her head was turned to the side, too afraid to turn back.
"Stop playing tricks on me!" Zhang Tingting glared at her fiercely. "Tell me! Did you betray me? Did you tell others about those things?"
Su Yuqing's mind went blank for a moment, and countless thoughts rushed into her mind.
Oh no, Zhang Tingting found out!
She definitely knows what she and Ye Linchen discussed!
But I haven't done anything yet!
No, that's not right!
Zhang Tingting was definitely bluffing her, trying to make her give herself away.
Do not panic!
Su Yuqing forced herself to calm down.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stood up straight, and looked at Zhang Tingting with tears in her eyes.
"Tingting, what are you talking about? I don't even know what happened! We grew up together, we're best friends, how could I betray you?"
Zhang Tingting squinted and carefully examined her.
"What did Ye Linchen want with you last night?"
Su Yuqing felt relieved.
As expected, Zhang Tingting only suspected that she had been in contact with Ye Linchen, but she didn't know what they had talked about.
She wiped her tears haphazardly from her face with the back of her hand and said aggrievedly, "Is it because of this? I'm truly innocent."
“She came to me because of her mother’s situation. Her mother made such a scene at school, and she was upset, so she came to me to ask how to appease you and stop making things difficult for Meng Zihan, so that her mother would stop making things difficult for her.”
She discreetly observed Zhang Tingting's expression and continued, "I told her that you've already told her mother the terms: as long as she comes to kowtow and admit her mistake, you should forgive her."
Zhang Tingting raised an eyebrow, clearly distracted.
"And then what did she say?"
"She got angry, said I was insulting her, and then stormed off."
Zhang Tingting's expression softened a bit, and she asked with some doubt, "Really? You're not lying to me?"
Su Yuqing nodded quickly: "Tingting, don't you know how I've treated you? I eat your food, drink your water, wear your clothes, how could I dare to betray you!"
Only then did Zhang Tingting lower her guard, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
"You answered very well. I'll see how long this country bumpkin can hold out! These people, I don't know what's going on in their heads, daring to challenge me. She'll regret it someday!"
"Alright, you did a pretty good job this time, so I'll forgive you and not hold it against you."
She glanced at Su Yuqing's swollen cheeks and waved her hand impatiently.
"Alright, you should go back to your dorm and rest early today. Don't wander around with that face on your face. People will think I, Zhang Tingting, am bullying someone!"
Su Yuqing lowered her head and obediently replied, "Okay."
She turned around and walked out of the room step by step.
Only when she could no longer feel Zhang Tingting's gaze behind her did Su Yuqing suddenly raise her head, her eyes filled with resentment and anger.
Two slaps shattered her last shred of hesitation.
She didn't want to live in constant fear and risk of being blamed anymore!
Zhang Tingting's unusually erratic behavior indicates that the disciplinary committee's investigation is serious, causing panic within the Zhang family.
If she doesn't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she'll never have another chance!
Ignoring the pain on her face, Su Yuqing found a public phone booth at school and dialed her home number.
The phone rang several times before being answered, and my father's familiar voice came through the receiver: "Hello, who is this?"
"Dad, it's me, Yuqing." Su Yuqing's voice trembled slightly.
"Yuqing? Why did you suddenly decide to call home?" Her father was surprised, then asked with concern, "Is something wrong? I heard from your mother that you haven't been doing so well lately?"
Su Yuqing bit her lip, composed herself, and said, "Dad, I've made up my mind. I'm going to fight back!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before her father asked her to confirm, "Have you thought it through?"
"I've made up my mind. I'm determined to turn things around with this opportunity! Dad, send me the evidence you've collected. We have to give it a shot."
She kept the evidence she collected during high school with her at all times. Her father had the evidence he had collected of Zhang's father's embezzlement and bribery.
The father and daughter had been looking for an opportunity to hand over this evidence.
Now's your chance!
“Okay, Dad supports you!” Su’s father said immediately. “I’ll send it to you by registered mail to make sure it’s safe.”
"Thank you, Dad!" Su Yuqing's eyes welled up with tears.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yuqing returned to her dormitory.
Her roommates had all gone to class, and she was all alone in the empty room.
She was supposed to go to class today, but Zhang Tingting assigned her a task: to go to the city center to buy breakfast for her and deliver it to Counselor Liu's house.
By the time she arrived, she had already missed class.
This is not the first time such a situation has occurred.
In front of Zhang Tingting, she was just a lapdog who could be summoned and dismissed at will, and who had to find ways to please her at any time!
Su Yuqing sneered, locked the dormitory door from the inside, dragged out her suitcase, and took out a file folder from the very back of the suitcase.
The bag contained evidence she had secretly collected.
