With her hands on her hips, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Xie Yan, how can you be so cold-blooded! Such a big thing happened at the educated youth center, and you don't care at all!"
Her voice was sharp and piercing, like a sharp knife slicing through the tranquility of the empty courtyard, echoing on the surrounding walls.
This drew the attention of those around them, who all seemed to think they were making perfect sense.
Xie Yan was so angry she laughed.
He looked at Wang Hongmei speechlessly, his eyes filled with helplessness and exhaustion: "Use your brain, use your brain a little bit, okay?" His voice was not loud, but it was cold.
"Don't treat that thing around your neck as just for decoration; use it occasionally."
These words were like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, instantly igniting Wang Hongmei's anger. Her eyes bulged, almost popping out of their sockets, as if she were about to devour Xie Yan, and she roared, "Say that again! Go ahead and say it again if you dare!"
As she spoke, she lunged at Xie Yan, as if she wanted to vent all her anger on him.
"Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that?"
Xie Yan was really annoyed by her actions and subconsciously took two steps back.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Wang Hongmei's meaningless shouts; he was really afraid that if Wang Hongmei actually hit him later, he would really fight back.
It won't be a simple war of words anymore.
But Wang Hongmei hadn't thought of that at all. Seeing Xie Yan retreat, she became even more energetic and lunged forward, and several people around her couldn't hold her back.
Her hair was a mess, and her face was flushed red, like a madwoman who had lost control.
Xie Yan took a deep breath, stood still, and said in a voice that was laced with sarcasm but not at all soft: "What's the point of you yelling at me here?"
Did I cause this?
"Or did I play some crucial role in this?"
Xie Yan's tone was full of sarcasm, but his voice was not low at all. Since they wanted to be the center of attention so much, he had to "grant" them their wish.
He gave a slight sneer, his gaze sweeping over the onlookers, especially Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head. Xie Yan's gaze seemed to see through all his pretense, making his heart jump into his throat.
Xie Yan didn't let them off the hook. He took a few steps forward, the snow crunching under his feet. "I want to know, why is Wang Zhiqing so insistent on me staying? Does he have some more exciting performance to show me?"
Seeing that Wang Hongmei was no match for Xie Yan and was already in retreat, Wang Xiao immediately stepped forward, bowed to Xie Yan with great sincerity, and then said with a sob in his voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Xie Yan, it's all because of me. Please don't talk about Hongmei anymore. If you have any anger, just take it out on me. Don't talk about her anymore."
After he finished speaking, he slowly turned his head, revealing a bitter smile. Tears welled up in his eyes and fell one by one, leaving small wet patches on the snow.
He bowed deeply to everyone again, his voice choked with emotion: "I'm so sorry to have troubled you all. This is all my fault. I'm just not a very likable person, and I've dragged you all into this... Please go back now and don't worry about me."
Now, Ruan Yingchun, Zhang Pingping, and the others felt so sorry for her that their eyes reddened. Ruan Yingchun, in particular, remembered the days when she was framed by others. She was just like that, all alone and helpless, with no one to help her.
He immediately stepped forward and patted Wang Xiao on the shoulder, "What nonsense are you talking about? We're all friends. As friends, how can we stand by and do nothing while you're being bullied?" "Don't worry, we'll help you."
Wang Xiao lowered her head, a flash of mockery in her eyes. When she looked up again, she had a pitiful look on her face. "But... this is too much trouble for you, and..." She glanced meaningfully at them, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.
Wang Xiao finally understood that Xie Yan was not someone to be trifled with, and was also a cold-hearted person. Since he was leaving first, he should let him go. Otherwise, if he stayed here, he might cause trouble.
Xie Yan watched Wang Xiao put on his act again and sneered. He wasn't leaving now; he wanted to see what kind of show Wang Xiao could put on.
Wan Chun'er couldn't bear to see Wang Xiao so pitiful. She had always thought of Wang Xiao as her younger brother. Seeing him so aggrieved, her anger soared. She turned around and shoved Song Jianguo in the chest. "What do you want? Wang Xiao is already like this, and you still won't let him go?"
This push knocked Song Jianguo, who was completely unprepared, to the ground.
Coincidentally, there was snow under Song Jianguo's feet. When he fell, his foot slipped and the back of his head hit the sharp stone behind him, instantly staining the snow in that spot red.
Seeing the red stain on the ground, Wan Chun'er was dumbfounded. Looking at her hand, she stammered helplessly, "I, I... I really didn't mean to. I... I didn't use much force. I didn't, I just..."
In extreme fear, Wan Chun'er began to talk nonsense.
Wang Xiao felt a chill run down his spine as he watched this scene. He had only wanted to change dorm rooms and had never intended for anyone to die.
Wan Chun'er is such a fool, she's more trouble than she's worth.
Seeing this, he instinctively wanted to stay away from Wan Chun'er.
But he quickly suppressed the urge to lift his leg, and his brain began to work quickly. After all, this matter was caused by him. If it were thoroughly investigated, he would be sure that his past would be exposed again. He absolutely could not let all the efforts he had made to suppress go to waste.
Thinking of this, his eyes darkened. He stepped forward, supported the trembling Wan Chun'er, and patted her arm reassuringly, as if murmuring, "Chun'er, when did you become so strong! You actually managed to push down such a robust man."
Upon hearing this, Wan Chun'er seemed to come to her senses and exclaimed, "He did it on purpose, he deliberately tried to scam me. I... I don't have that much strength."
Xie Yan looked at this group of people and was truly speechless. The person over there had already fainted, yet they were still shirking responsibility.
He nudged Liu Yihong beside him, and the two of them quickly went forward to check on him.
Fortunately, the back of the head was only bruised and not seriously injured, but it's hard to say whether there will be a concussion.
But Xie Yan couldn't say that. Instead, he turned to them and said, "Are you just going to watch and do nothing?"
He then said to Liu Yihong, "If you don't call the guy in the house who acts like a big shot, someone's going to die." Liu Yihong seemed to have just come to her senses, and said to Shen Jianguo in a trembling voice, "Shen Jianguo, you, you come out quickly, something's happened."
