Jiang Wanqing was completely bewildered, having no idea what kind of trouble had arisen this time.
She walked quickly to the teaching building. This was Professor Xue's class, and she had to attend. There were still five minutes before class started, and the classroom was already full. She quietly slipped in through the back door, but a girl suddenly shouted.
"Jiang Wanqing is here!"
All eyes turned to her, and their gazes were not friendly. She touched her face, completely bewildered.
She opened her mouth, but before she could ask a question, Huanren ran in from the door, glanced around the classroom, saw her, and headed straight for her, holding a few crumpled pieces of paper in his hand.
He sat down next to her, a stark contrast to the way everyone else avoided him.
"See? She really knows how to seduce men."
"Hmph, she'll hook up with any man she sees, isn't she afraid of getting diseases!"
"She wants to be both an official's wife and a heartthrob; she's got quite the ambition."
...
The people were whispering and talking amongst themselves. Jiang Wanqing wasn't deaf; she heard everything clearly and immediately stood up to demand an explanation.
Huanren turned his head and whispered to her, "Wanqing, someone wrote a big-character poster for you. Take a look at this first."
Big-character posters?
Jiang Wanqing frowned, then saw Huanren unfold the paper he was holding, with varying font sizes and the emphasized content deliberately enlarged.
The words in large letters read: Jiang Wanqing seduced her sister's fiancé to take his place!
The smaller print below is an accusation of her "sinful acts".
"Where did this come from? Who wrote it?"
"I saw it on the school bulletin board. Many students went to see it, but as for who wrote it... I don't know," Huan Ren said honestly.
Chen Zhong arrived last, just as the bell rang. As soon as he entered, he gave Jiang Wanqing a meaningful look before walking smugly to another empty seat.
She clenched her fists, her knuckles itching. This guy hadn't been taught a lesson enough!
Professor Xue entered the classroom after the bell rang, holding a teacup filled with strong tea.
He probably knew about the commotion outside, and he looked at Jiang Wanqing with pity, sighed, shook his head, and then went back to class as usual.
"Class, today we are going to learn about..."
"Professor Xue!" A student raised their hand: "Before class, we would like to ask you what you think of your student Jiang Wanqing's moral depravity and promiscuous behavior?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A bold student started it, and the other students burst into laughter. "Chen Zhong" covered his mouth and chuckled, then whispered something in response.
"Professor Xue might actually like this kind of student. As people get older, their eyesight inevitably deteriorates, hahaha..."
"Hahaha……"
The classroom erupted in laughter. Professor Xue, furious, slammed his teacup on the table with a thud.
"Shut up! This is a classroom! A place for imparting knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving doubts, not a marketplace for you to gossip and spread rumors. Anyone who talks nonsense to me again doesn't need to come to my class!"
Professor Xue remains an authority figure, and when he gets stern, no one dares to challenge his authority, since most people are just following the crowd.
Perhaps fearing some trouble might occur outside the classroom, Professor Xue looked in Jiang Wanqing's direction.
"Wanqing, go to the lab. You already know everything you learned in class, so don't waste your time here. Go."
She nodded, picked up her things, not wanting to cause trouble for the professor, and got up to walk out of the classroom.
Huanren noticed that her expression was a little off, so he slightly lifted his buttocks from his seat.
"The rest of you, sit down! Class is about to begin!"
Jiang Wanqing mouthed to Huanren, "Thank you."
She didn't go to the lab, but went to the bulletin board, which was indeed covered with big-character posters, and some people had written some vulgar insults on it with markers.
She took a deep breath and tore it to shreds in a few swift motions.
"These people just love to have their cake and eat it too. Seducing your brother-in-law must be exciting, right?"
A seemingly nonchalant boy looked her up and down with ill intent, crossed his arms, and circled her twice.
"She's pretty good-looking, and she's pretty wild too. Why don't you take a look at me?"
"Bang!"
Jiang Wanqing could no longer bear it and kicked him. The man instantly fell to the ground, his lower back slamming hard against the stone bench, trembling in pain.
"You...you dare hit me...you're asking for it!"
"Want to taste what it's like to be beaten again?" She stared coldly and disdainfully at the man on the ground. "I've got plenty of strength, why don't you try?"
"You bitch! I'll make sure you suffer a terrible fate!"
"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Go back and tell Chen Zhong that next time I see him, I'll beat him up too!"
The man looked on with a hint of fear, swallowed hard, and moved back a few inches.
"How...how did you know..."
"Keep the fox's tail hidden properly. Don't you know he's very narcissistic and likes to mark things?"
Jiang Wanqing pointed to the leather shoes on his feet, where there was a barely visible mark on the shiny shoe leather edge.
She scoffed, "Once you've done the favor for him, he'll turn around and accuse you of stealing from him. You'll probably have to beg him to forgive you like a lapdog."
The man looked down, stood on tiptoe, and saw that there really was a mark. His expression changed.
Jiang Wanqing threw the torn-up poster into the trash can and walked away. She had originally planned to stay in the dormitory tonight, but given the situation, it seemed unsafe, so she decided to go back to the family compound instead.
After class in the afternoon, she planned to take a bus or rickshaw home, but she saw a familiar figure as soon as she arrived at the school gate.
Cheng Ran seemed to have been waiting for her for a while. When he saw her come out, he strode towards her and naturally took her bag.
"Look, it's them..."
"Isn't that man his lover? They seem so loving together, how could it be like what's written on the poster..."
"Whether it's a husband or a brother-in-law, it all depends on the woman's abilities."
"That's true..."
Cheng Ran frowned and turned to look at Jiang Wanqing: "Is something the matter?"
"No, let's go."
He had just returned to work, and Jiang Wanqing didn't want him to be implicated by her again, so she quickly pulled him away and changed the subject.
"Didn't you say you'd be back in two days? How come you're back so soon?"
"Yesterday plus today, isn't that exactly two days?" Cheng Ran pinched her cheek: "Do you want me to stay outside for a few more days?"
That's not what I meant at all...
She gave a soft, coquettish hum, and once she was out of the school grounds, she found herself in much quieter surroundings.
"That's good. Let's go out to eat tonight. You must be tired after a long day of classes. Go home and rest after we eat."
That sounds a bit odd. Should we just go back and rest, or...?
She met his eager gaze, bit her lip, and glared at him.
"No, I want to cook for myself, and you can cook with me."
Regardless of anything else, let's wear him down first, so he doesn't keep going like a tireless ox.
The man, who had just lost his virginity, exuded an aura of hormones, and Jiang Wanqing felt hot just standing next to him.
