Chapter 101 Finding Trouble
Tao Wanting felt a little embarrassed after getting a cold shoulder, and then she became furious.
If he wasn't doing something shameful, why would he hide it so much?
Noticing that the person next to her was looking at her unfriendlyly, Meng Ruoxi raised her eyes and looked over.
The girl, who was originally considered pretty, now had her eyes glaring and her lips clenched, looking very unconvinced.
He frowned, feeling disgusted but also a little amused.
Some people seem to like to take themselves too seriously. Why should I tell her my private affairs?
There was a flash of mockery in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "Student Tao Wanting, you are blocking my view by standing here. If you have nothing to do, please leave."
Being driven away so ruthlessly, Tao Wanting's eyes turned red. She turned around and left without stopping for a moment, bumping into Li Yunmeng who happened to be holding a steamed bun in her hand.
The steamed bun in his hand fell to the ground because he was not holding it firmly. Li Yunmeng picked it up quickly and wanted to find the culprit to settle the score, but found that the culprit had already run out of the classroom.
I couldn't help but mutter, "You didn't pay attention when you walked. The white and tender steamed buns are now dirty."
The next second, she patted the dirty steamed bun, put it into her mouth and ate it with relish.
Wasting food is not fashionable and cannot be tolerated these days, but even if it is a little dirty, it is still edible.
He walked up to Meng Ruoxi, puffed his cheeks, and smiled while chewing a steamed bun, "Good morning, Ruoxi."
Meng Ruoxi raised her eyes and said calmly, "Good morning."
Li Yunmeng sat down on the chair next to her, complaining about what had just happened.
"Tao Wanting is such a blind woman. She bumped into me and ran away without even saying sorry. Am I some kind of monster or unreasonable person? Or is she afraid that I will depend on her and make her pay for my medical expenses and steamed buns?"
He angrily stuffed the remaining half of the steamed bun into his mouth and chewed it fiercely again and again.
Meng Ruoxi glanced at her and said, "Maybe she is in a bad mood."
Li Yunmeng curled her lips, "It has nothing to do with me if she's in a bad mood. I didn't provoke her. She should have said sorry if she bumped into me instead of running away without saying anything."
Meng Ruoxi didn't comment. "Instead of complaining to me here and using me as a trash can for your emotions, why not go directly to her and ask for an explanation?"
Tao Wanting, who had turned back and was about to apologize to Li Yunmeng, gritted her teeth in hatred when she heard what Meng Ruoxi said.
She is trying to sow discord!
He said "I'm sorry" stiffly and walked back to his seat.
Meng Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Yunmeng who was standing there in a daze. "It seems that I have become the target of her resentment."
Although he said this, he didn't care in his heart.
As long as you are not dealing with a fickle man, any other person's means will not hurt you.
After swallowing the last bite of steamed bread, Li Yunmeng chuckled and said, "Don't be angry, I'm here with you. If she dares to do anything to you, I'll be the first to rush out and oppose her."
He looked in the direction of Tao Wanting with a frown. It was her fault in the first place, so how could she have the nerve to blame others?
The bell rang for class, and an old professor with half-white hair but a spirited look walked into the classroom.
Looking at the students in the audience, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is Meng Ruoxi?"
Hearing the professor mention her name, Meng Ruoxi stood up and said, "Teacher, it's me."
The old professor still narrowed his eyes, but his tone was a little stern, "Are you the student who skipped class yesterday afternoon?"
Meng Ruoxi nodded, "I had something urgent and didn't have time to ask for leave, I..."
To make an example of someone else, the seemingly kind old professor was actually a stern person. He interrupted her without even listening to her explanation.
"You will stand and listen to the lecture for this class. After class, you will write a 2,000-word self-review and hand it to me. This will be the treatment for any student who skips class without reason in the future."
There was no point in saying more. The iron-faced professor would not listen to her explanation. Meng Ruoxi pursed her lips and said no more. Her tall figure accepted the gazes from all directions.
Li Yunmeng looked at her with some concern, but did not dare to open his mouth to comfort her.
Tao Wanting finally let out a sigh of relief.
You deserve it! Who told you to be so arrogant and conceited? There will always be someone who can deal with you!
Other students may be concerned, worried, happy-go-lucky, or indifferent.
The class lasted 140 minutes, and Meng Ruoxi stood for more than two hours.
By the time the class was over, my legs were numb from standing.
Li Yunmeng quickly stood up and supported her, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"
Meng Ruoxi shook her head, "It's okay."
Tao Wanting was gloating over the misfortune, and followed a few sisters over. "Some people, relying on their pretty faces, don't take anyone seriously. They put on a cold face and pretend to be noble, thinking that the whole world has to revolve around them. Little do they know that not everyone is deceived by them and buys their account. Isn't this retribution?"
Someone beside her pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Stop talking."
Tao Wanting was not afraid at all. "Why should I be afraid? I didn't mention any names, unless someone identifies me with them."
Li Yunmeng was so angry that he started to curse, "Why are you barking like a dog? You are a good person, but you choose to be a beast!"
Tao Wanting's eyes instantly turned red with anger, "Li Yunmeng, you bastard, who are you scolding!"
Seeing the other party's eyes turn red with anger, Li Yunmeng felt relieved instead. He crossed his arms and said calmly, "Who do you care who I scold? Some people took it upon themselves and blamed me."
Meng Ruoxi chuckled, stretched out her hand to lift Tao Wanting's chin, and slowly scanned her face with her eyes. Finally, she shook her head with regret, "It's a pity that this pretty face will soon turn into a pig's head."
He let go of his hand in disgust, picked up the ruler on the table and slammed it hard.
Her face was burning with pain, and Tao Wanting screamed, "Ahhh, you dare to hit me!"
Meng Ruoxi sneered, "What if I hit you? If you don't offend me, I won't offend you. If you dare to provoke me next time, it won't be as simple as a slap."
Covering her face, Tao Wanting reached out to hit back.
Meng Ruoxi took a step back, raised her hand, grabbed her hand and threw it aside, then slapped it hard again with her other hand holding the ruler.
This time I hit the other side, and the marks on both sides happened to be symmetrical.
Admiring the face in front of her that could be called a work of art, Meng Ruoxi smiled with satisfaction.
Just when I was in a bad mood recently, someone came to my door and asked for a beating.
It's just nonsense to think about it, it's your bad luck.
Tao Wanting screamed, "Ahhh! Meng Ruoxi, I'm not done with you!"
Several people behind her quickly grabbed her.
"Stop it now. If you keep on hitting me, the teacher will be called."
She went to the restroom right after class. When class monitor Wei Mingyan, who had just returned to the classroom, saw her, he yelled, "Tao Wanting, what are you doing!"
Someone told him what had just happened.
After hearing everything, Wei Mingyan sternly reprimanded Tao Wanting, "You were the one who started the fight and you still dared to make trouble. Don't you think it's embarrassing? Please stop your unreasonable behavior immediately, otherwise I will tell the teacher everything you did!"
When he looked at Meng Ruoxi, his eyes flashed with concern, "Are you okay?"
Meng Ruoxi glanced at him calmly, "It's okay."
Tao Wanting was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Squad leader, you are biased! It was clearly Meng Ruoxi who hit me, and you didn't say anything about her, but you blamed me instead!"
Wei Mingyan's face, which had just calmed down, turned cold again. "I'm just speaking the truth. The incident started because of you. If you didn't curse, would Meng Ruoxi hit you? If you are not as skilled as the other person, you should admit defeat. If you continue to quarrel, you will be embarrassed. I advise you to take care of yourself."
Li Yunmeng chuckled, "Tao Wanting, be a decent person and do your job properly. If you hadn't been so mean, would you have received these two slaps? The classmates around you all heard what you said. Even if you make trouble in front of the teacher, you will be the one who is embarrassed."
Tao Wanting's arrogance weakened a little, and a hint of thought flashed across her eyes.
I was only thinking about momentary pleasure and didn't consider the classmates around me. If the incident got to the teacher, even if Meng Ruoxi was punished, I would be punished as well.
The result was that each of them was given fifty lashes.
But if I swallow this breath, I will be unwilling in my heart, and I will say loudly, "I want Meng Ruoxi to apologize to me!"
"Heh." Meng Ruoxi sneered and asked, "You want me to apologize to you?"
Tao Wanting said firmly, "Yes, I want you to apologize to me! I just said a few words to you, but you slapped me twice. In the end, I am the one who got hurt."
Wei Mingyan couldn't stand Tao Wanting's bullying words and said coldly, "That's enough, Tao Wanting! If you continue to act like this, I will have no choice but to tell the teacher exactly what you did and let the teacher decide."
Meng Ruoxi nodded, "I agree."
Tao Wanting suddenly panicked.
If my parents knew that I got into trouble at school just a few days after the start of the semester, they would definitely not let me off.
Reluctantly, he uttered harsh words, "Meng Ruoxi! You'd better pray that you never fall into my hands!" He turned around and walked out of the classroom angrily.
The people following her hesitated for a moment, then hurried to catch up.
