Jiang Wanqing didn't react in time. Her head was a little dazed from being hit. She shook it slightly before her vision cleared.
Looking up, she saw several women not far away whom she did not recognize at all.
"Who are you?! Intentionally causing injury is a crime punishable by imprisonment!"
Cheng Ran had just been hit as well, but now anger was taking over. He couldn't imagine what even more serious consequences would have occurred if he hadn't been there!
This was a busy avenue, and many people gathered around to watch the commotion. However, the women causing trouble were not afraid of making things worse and instead waved for everyone to come over.
"Everyone, come and see! This woman is selling her shoddy skin cream in secret. Our faces are ruined because we used her cream!"
"Yeah, we're not afraid of being laughed at anymore. Look at our faces, how are we supposed to face anyone after this!"
The woman removed the silk scarf covering her face, revealing two abnormally red and swollen cheeks that showed signs of erosion.
The crowd gasped in surprise and began pointing and whispering.
"That's terrifying! This will disfigure me!"
"They said they used some kind of moisturizing cream..."
"It's not the one we bought before, is it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it was sold by a group of girls. They said it was developed by Professor Xue's star student and that it was good for the skin, so I carried it with me."
A student quickly took out a tin box of moisturizing cream from his bag, and several women saw this and went over to intercept it.
"This is it! Our faces are ruined because we used this piece of junk!"
Cheng Ran protected Jiang Wanqing, but she pushed his hand away and shook her head.
If it's a problem with the moisturizer, she should take responsibility, but she won't admit guilt easily. These women clearly aren't students from the school; their sudden appearance and disturbance suggests they might have ulterior motives.
"You're saying your face broke out after using my moisturizer?"
Jiang Wanqing stared sharply at the women. Despite the injury on her forehead, it did not affect her aura at all, and she did not look embarrassed at all.
One of the women flinched and pushed her companion forward.
The other person tilted their head back, swallowed hard, and pointed to their own face.
"Open your dog eyes and take a good look! If I hadn't used your moisturizer, how could my face have turned out like this! Are you trying to say that I deliberately framed you?!"
"Don't waste your breath on them, hand them over to the police."
Cheng Ran frowned. With so many people surrounding them, he was afraid that something else might happen, which would be bad.
Outside the crowd, two figures were acting suspiciously. Jiang Wanqing tugged at Cheng Ran's sleeve and glanced over there as if by accident.
He followed her gaze and saw Guo Xueyun and Yuan Zhong...
Jiang Wanqing pinched the woman's chin, examined her face thoroughly, and raised an eyebrow with a smile: "This face is indeed going to rot."
"Listen to this! She said it herself!" The other person immediately became excited: "Now we're going to report you to the police station! We're going to take it to your school administration! We'll expel you!"
"Your facial sores have absolutely nothing to do with my moisturizer."
Jiang Wanqing looked directly into the troublemaker's eyes without fear, and gently asked the female classmate next to her.
"Could I borrow your moisturizing cream?"
"Oh, okay... here you go."
Jiang Wanqing opened the lid, scooped out a large dollop, and applied it to her face and hands, filling the crowd with a refreshing fragrance.
"See? I dare to use any of these moisturizing creams on my face. You say it will ruin your skin? Since you say that using my moisturizing cream caused your skin to break out, then please tell me when, where, and from whom you bought it?"
Cheng Ran stood protectively and vigilantly to her side, making it easy to pull her away from danger immediately.
“I…we…”
Seeing her companion defeated, another woman rushed forward with her hands on her hips.
"What do you care where we bought it! It's your moisturizing cream that's causing this, and you're responsible for selling things without permission! Come on, let's go find the school leaders right now!"
"Oh, then you can go ahead." Jiang Wanqing sneered, "You'd better take a good look at your faces in the mirror. They're festering at a visible rate. This isn't the fault of the moisturizer, but rather the work of the chemical agents. If it keeps rotting, it might be fatal."
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing this, the troublemaker covered his face and turned to look at Jiang Wanqing, his face filled with fear.
"You may not believe it, but I suggest you go to the hospital before you go to the school leaders."
Whether it was influenced by Jiang Wanqing's words or was really festering rapidly, the burning sensation on his face was impossible to ignore. Someone raised their hand to scratch it, and the skin peeled off and bled.
"Ah... my face!"
The woman was so frightened that she covered her face and squatted down. Her fingernails were full of skin and flesh.
"Either you admit the truth yourselves, or we'll have the moisturizing cream tested and compare it to the residue on your faces, and see..."
Before she could finish speaking, someone else was even more anxious. Guo Xueyun pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, while Yuan Zhong quietly hid in the shadows and did not come out.
“It’s Teacher Guo.” A student recognized her.
Guo Xueyun pulled the woman up, gripped her arm tightly, and gave her a look.
"Don't be afraid. I'm a teacher at Huada University. The school leaders know me very well. I heard what happened between you. If it really was her moisturizing cream that ruined your face, our school will definitely not cover it up. If you leave now, you won't get anything. Think it over carefully!"
The woman's shoulders trembled. Her companions exchanged glances, none daring to speak. The burning sensation on their faces had cooled considerably under Guo Xueyun's icy words, leaving behind a chilling sense of despair. But she was right; leaving now would not only ruin their faces, but they would gain nothing...
"Tell me, is it the moisturizing cream that Jiang Wanqing sold that caused your skin problems?" Guo Xueyun asked, half-threateningly.
"It's...it's her..."
The woman dared not look Jiang Wanqing in the eye and pointed at her with her finger.
"Guo Xueyun! You'll have to take responsibility for getting involved!"
“It is precisely because I am responsible that I do not want to see Huada’s reputation ruined by Jiang Wanqing. You can’t protect her just because she is your wife in name only. Have you ever thought about how others were almost harmed by this woman!”
If she hadn't come out in time, Jiang Wanqing would have escaped another disaster. Now that things have come to this, we must continue to manipulate things!
"Teacher Guo, then I'll wait and see how you take responsibility. Ignorance is the most harmful thing. The chemical agents they used on their faces will not only ruin their skin, but even if they wear gloves, as long as they breathe, it will affect their respiratory system. In less than a day, they will have shortness of breath, suffocate and die, and their internal organs will rot. Teacher Guo, you studied literature, you shouldn't know this, right?"
Jiang Wanqing smiled and glanced at the students present, her voice loud and clear, her conscience clear.
"Don't worry, everyone. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the moisturizing cream. You all saw me use it myself just now. If there really were a problem, it wouldn't have only surfaced today. If you're still worried, wait until I've resolved this issue before giving you all an explanation."
