He immediately splashed a cup of hot water in his assistant's face.
"Ah!" the assistant exclaimed, covering her face with her hand.
Bai Xiruo retorted angrily, "Are you trying to scald me to death?"
The assistant apologized tearfully, "I'm so sorry, Sister Xiruo, I'll pour you another cup right away."
Bai Xiruo slammed the thermos down on the folding table beside her and glared coldly at her assistant.
She was furious that Bai Qianmo had been given the role of the second female lead in "Qingguo," and then she scalded her mouth with hot water. Now, the two gazes she was being directed at felt like sharp blades.
The assistant didn't dare to look at Bai Xiruo. She picked up the thermos with trembling hands, turned around, and ran away from the rest area.
Sitting not far away, Du Muchen took in the whole scene, a hint of disdain flashing in his clear eyes.
He said to his assistant, "Go and take the swelling-reducing ointment from my car to that young girl."
This Bai Xiruo, her face looks harmless, but she's really ruthless.
He raised an eyebrow, then picked up his phone and sent a video to Bai Qianmo.
The message read: "Little Momo, don't be too grateful to your brother!"
Bai Qianmo received a video from Du Muchen, and a cold light flashed in her usually quiet eyes.
"Wow, I never expected that Bai Xiruo, who looks so gentle and lovely, would be like this in private." Su Peishan was sitting next to Bai Qianmo, and she naturally noticed it when Bai Qianmo was watching the video.
The main reason is that Bai Qianmo didn't intend to hide anything from Su Peishan.
"No wonder when Bai Xiruo was waiting for me in my office that day, her assistant's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just been crying. It seems that the assistant has suffered a lot in private. If this video is posted online, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Bai Xiruo to recover."
Su Peishan smiled and looked at Bai Qianmo: "I know a few influential public accounts. Do you want me to help you get in touch with them?"
Bai Qianmo curled her lips and scoffed, "Have you ever seen a cat catch a mouse?"
With a slight twitch of her delicate eyebrows, a ruthless glint appeared in her beautiful peach blossom eyes.
"When the cat catches the mouse, it doesn't rush to swallow it whole. Instead, it plays with it and gradually wears down the mouse's will to escape during the chase. Then, when the mouse is in its most desperate moment, it swallows it whole."
Bai Qianmo narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Su Peishan: "Perhaps cats don't actually like to eat mouse meat, but rather enjoy the pleasure of teasing and playing tricks on them."
Su Peishan gazed intently at the young girl before her, and understood the deeper meaning behind Bai Qianmo's words.
She was waiting, waiting until the enemy was about to reach the peak, before ruthlessly sending him to hell. This process of chasing and toying with him, this kind of revenge, was what truly achieved the effect of scraping the bone and draining the marrow.
A flash of ruthlessness crossed Bai Qianmo's eyes, but she quickly returned to her usual aloof and nonchalant demeanor.
She stood up from her chair, picked up her schoolbag, and gave Su Peishan a slight smile.
"Sister Su, I'm leaving all the follow-up matters for 'Green Fruit' to you. I have to go to school now, so I'll be going now!"
With a wave of her hand, Bai Qianmo turned and left.
Su Peishan sat in the open-air rest area, watching the girl walk away, and looked down at her palm.
She was actually terrified by what this girl said and broke out in a cold sweat.
Right now, Su Peishan is secretly glad she made that choice.
Bai Qianmo rushed back to school just in time for 2 PM.
The first lesson was still Abbess Miejue's math lesson.
Students need to maintain 120% concentration in Xing Zhenzhen's class because she may randomly check their answers. If a student cannot answer, they will be made to stand outside the door as punishment.
High school students are at an age where they care a lot about their image. Being punished by being surrounded by onlookers when they have to stand outside is a great humiliation for most of them.
While Xing Zhenzhen was enthusiastically explaining a difficult math problem, Fu Dongjun secretly wrote something on a piece of practice paper.
See you on the playground after school.
After finishing writing, he handed it to Bai Qianmo.
Seeing the message Fu Dongjun handed her, Bai Qianmo glanced at him curiously, then looked down and wrote on her practice paper, "What is it?"
Fu Dongjun glanced quickly at Xing Zhenzhen, making sure she hadn't noticed them, then reached for the paper and wrote: "You'll see when you get there, you absolutely have to come!"
"Fu Dongjun, Bai Qianmo, what are you doing sneaking around like this?" Xing Zhenzhen, true to her reputation as Abbess Miejue, was ruthless and cunning, rushing over like a gust of wind.
Fu Dongjun tried to cover his practice paper with a book, but Xing Zhenzhen snatched it away quickly.
See you on the playground after school?
Xing Zhenzhen coldly swept her gaze across Fu Dongjun and Bai Qianmo's faces: "Are you two going on a date together?"
"Teacher, I just wanted to talk to Bai Qianmo about something related to studying."
"Can't we talk about studying in class? Why do we have to go to the back playground to talk about it? There's obviously something wrong with you two!" Xing Zhenzhen looked like Conan solving a case, her eyes darting between Bai Qianmo and Fu Dongjun.
The other students stared at them in shock.
"Young Master Fu actually asked Bai Qianmo to go to the playground? Are they really dating?"
"Young Master Fu actually likes a girl like Bai Qianmo, he must be blind!" a girl said angrily.
Shu Ningxuan's entire face looked as if it were covered with a layer of frost, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
"What's so good about that bitch Bai Qianmo?"
Ye Mengyao gave Bai Qianmo a deep look and secretly sneered in her heart.
Bai Qianmo and Fu Dongjun? If the Duke knew about their relationship, would he still like her?
Because of Fu Dongjun's note, Bai Qianmo was unfortunately led to the Academic Affairs Office by Xing Zhenzhen.
Xing Zhenzhen finally got a chance to get revenge on Bai Qianmo and Fu Dongjun, so she naturally wouldn't let it go and gave them a good scolding.
