Xia Zhi and Jiang Mianmian were both taken aback.
Gu Zihan walked over with a big bag slung over her arm and her head held high.
She spent the whole day in the sun in the square of the Grand Palace. Her face was a bit tanned, and even with thick makeup, the sunburn marks were still easily visible.
Upon seeing Jiang Mianmian, her eyes glared at her like they were filled with poison needles.
"Oh, what a loving sisterhood!" Gu Zihan sneered. "Xia Zhi, have you forgotten how we ended up sunbathing there today? Ha, while your good friend was strolling around the Grand Palace in her beautiful clothes, she certainly didn't expect you to be sunbathing!"
"Gu Zihan." Xia Zhi glanced at her. "This is between Mianmian and me. Please don't interfere."
"You little bitch, how dare you talk to me like that now!"
Gu Zihan gritted her teeth and glanced at the face cream in Jiang Mianmian's hand. The shiny brand name on the bottle immediately caught her eye.
These international brands are still very expensive even in duty-free shops, and they are ridiculously expensive in high-end shopping malls in Jiangzhou.
How could Jiang Mianmian's face possibly be worthy of her?!
So, Gu Zihan, who was full of anger, suddenly snatched the bottle of face cream from Jiang Mianmian's hand!
"Gu Zihan, what are you doing?" Xia Zhi exclaimed in surprise.
"Isn't it a waste to give her such good stuff?" Gu Zihan said arrogantly. "I just happened to not be able to buy this brand of skincare products today, Xia Zhi, consider this your gift to me! I'll make things less difficult for you in class from now on, okay?"
"you……"
Xia Zhi's eyes widened; she had never expected Gu Zihan to interfere!
This person can be incredibly domineering when they want to be, and incredibly stupid when they want to be!
"Gu Zihan!" Xia Zhi, afraid that she would ruin her plans, hurriedly stopped her. "This is something I bought for Mianmian. What right do you have to take it?"
"What?" Gu Zihan was unreasonable, shoving her hard. "Using your things is a favor! And you dare to yell at me like that?"
"Give this back to Mianmian!"
"I won't!" Gu Zihan was overjoyed, like a pheasant with its tail held high, looking at the two of them with disdain as she tore open the face cream box.
"Ha, I'll use it tonight! Jiang Mianmian, your face can use some cheap stuff from a street stall, why do you need big brands?"
"Gu Zihan!"
Xia Zhi was about to say something when Jiang Mianmian shouted, "Quiet down, all of you!"
She felt a throbbing pain in her temples, annoyed by the two people's constant bickering.
"I don't want this anymore. You two, please go back to your rooms!"
"Mianmian..."
While Xia Zhi was still in a daze, Jiang Mianmian slammed the door shut.
Gu Zihan let out a cold laugh, picked up the face cream, and swaggered back to her room.
Xia Zhi stood there, clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands, a hint of panic in her eyes.
As night fell, all was quiet.
Just as everyone was getting ready to rest, a terrifying scream suddenly came from one of the hotel rooms!
"ah--"
Jiang Mianmian was stunned for a moment. After confirming that she was not dreaming, she quickly put on her clothes and went out to check.
The hallway grew noisy as everyone rushed out. Screams echoed continuously from that room.
A student shouted, "It's Gu Zihan's room!"
Han Li panicked and hurriedly helped the hotel manager open the door to Gu Zihan's room. Jiang Mianmian followed the others, only to witness an unbelievable scene...
Gu Zihan lay on the bed, her body contorted in pain, tightly covering her face.
Her face was red, swollen, and ulcerated, as if she had been bitten by poisonous insects, and she was no longer recognizable!
"It's...it's this!" Gu Zihan pointed with all her might to the bottle of face cream on the vanity. "It's this!"
*
A few hours later.
The doctor came out of the emergency room with a serious expression. "Ms. Gu's face had an extremely severe allergic reaction. After emergency treatment, the area of ulceration has been brought under control."
Han Li was still in shock. Her students had been sent on a study tour, and this had happened to them. How was she going to explain this to the school when they returned?
Besides, she's the Gu family's daughter!
Will the Gu family let her off the hook?
Han Li was in a state of utter confusion, her face deathly pale. Leaning against the wall, she weakly asked the doctor, "What... what exactly happened?"
"The preliminary diagnosis is likely an allergy to a chemical substance." The doctor took the face cream and examined it carefully. "As for which substance it is allergic to, we will need to conduct tests to find out."
"Can she recover?"
"The dermis has been damaged, and it will definitely never recover to its original state."
Han Li was so frightened that she took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and gasped for breath.
Jiang Mianmian's palms were sweating.
She subconsciously glanced at Xia Zhi in the corner, and when their eyes met, Xia Zhi was slightly taken aback, then turned her face away.
Jiang Mianmian's ears rang, and all she could hear was her own irregular heartbeat.
That bottle of face cream...
It was originally Xia Zhi who bought it for her!
If Gu Zihan hadn't taken it, she would be the one lying in the hospital tonight!
"I need to call the police!"
From the emergency room came Gu Zihan's desperate cries, "Those two bitches must have teamed up to frame me! I'm calling the police!"
"Okay, okay... I'll call the police right away!" Han Li reassured her. "Zihan, you mean those two... little bitches? Who are they?"
"It was Xia Zhi and Jiang Mianmian!" Gu Zihan gritted her teeth. "This face cream was given to me by those two!"
Jiang Mianmian's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down her spine.
Han Li glared at her fiercely and quickly called the police.
The police arrived shortly afterward. The lead officer asked a few simple questions and then took the man back to make a statement.
Jiang Mianmian insisted that this had nothing to do with her.
“Miss,” the officer smiled faintly, “whether it’s related or not, we’ll only know after we get back to the police station for investigation! Please cooperate with us.”
Jiang Mianmian was trembling all over, while Xia Zhi had already been pulled away by the police and were about to be taken out of the hospital.
The scene was somewhat chaotic, but just then, someone suddenly passed by in the corridor.
What's going on?
Jiang Mianmian looked in the direction of the sound.
A middle-aged man in a white coat was walking towards them. He exuded a refined and gentle air, yet everyone around him, even the police officers, greeted him with utmost respect.
"Dean Yin!"
"Officer Mu," Yin Cheng nodded slightly, "What happened?"
