Jiang Yuan's eyes fell on the several seemingly cynical men in front of her, and a flood of images rushed into her mind.
It was as if the box of sealed memories had been suddenly opened.
The memories that flashed through her mind ignited a surge of anger within her.
Even though it wasn't her experience, she was still angry about it!
"Haha, little dog, why don't you lie down and bark a couple of times? If you bark well, I'll give you two hundred yuan."
"I heard the heartthrob from the next class confessed his feelings to you. You're so desperate for money, why didn't you say yes?"
"Although he's a bit of a womanizer, he's rich. Isn't your biological mother in dire need of medical treatment? If you agree to be his girlfriend, I think your biological mother's medical expenses will be covered, and the Xiao Si family won't have to be taken advantage of."
"That's right, Xiao Si is so pitiful. She suffered for you for so many years, and after returning to the Jiang family, she still has to pay for your short-lived mother's medical expenses."
"A puppy should act like a puppy. From now on, you should bark. Come on, bark for me."
"Xiao Si lent you to us as a errand boy, so even if we ask you to steal, you have to steal, understand, little dog?"
“If you don’t do as we say, we’re not going to let you off easy.”
"Damn it, I was driving an SUV today and someone overtook me and even mocked me. I'm furious. Little dog, come here and let me beat you up to vent my anger."
...
“Yes, yes! Jiang Yuan, long time no see!” Hanwen, another boy next to Xu Zhe, also suddenly realized, his eyes shining as he looked at Jiang Yuan, and he also sized her up a bit.
They knew Jiang Yuan was pretty back in school, and they had all had feelings for her.
but--
Although Jiang Yuan was hardworking and never complained, and would never beg for mercy even when they beat her half to death, she also had her moments of assertiveness.
For example, someone might drag her into the men's restroom with the intention of taking advantage of her.
At that time, Jiang Yuan was like a lion awakening, not only fighting back fiercely, but also biting the other party's ear until it bled.
Some people tried to persuade her to let go, but she wouldn't. She just stared intently at the person in front of her.
If anyone dared to take a step forward, Jiang Yuan would bite them even harder.
The incident alarmed the school authorities, and the principal personally intervened for an hour before Jiang Yuan finally relented.
At that time, her mouth was full of blood, making her look like she was about to eat someone.
After that incident, the boy was expelled.
Because someone recorded the man dragging Jiang Yuan into the men's restroom, it wasn't Jiang Yuan's choice.
The incident had such a significant impact that the school had no choice but to expel the person to quell public anger.
As for Jiang Yuan, she is still in university, but...
No one dared to target her again.
They were young and impetuous back then, but they also cherished and valued their lives.
They might bully the weak, but they wouldn't dare touch someone who's willing to risk their life.
From then on, they would only beat Jiang Yuan to vent their anger from others, or to treat her badly and make her run errands.
Now...
Although I value my life, but...
They are much bolder now than before.
I have the ability to support myself and can also protect my own interests.
And what about Jiang Yuan?
The Jiang family no longer wanted her.
What are her abilities?
If Jiang Yuan had met them back then, they probably would have already taken care of her.
Xiang Xinyang raised an eyebrow, his expression subtly changing.
The way those men were looking at me was really unsettling.
Looking at Jiang Yuan felt less like looking at a person and more like looking at a product.
This is the look in a merchant's eyes when looking at goods.
They... must have bullied her Ah Yuan too!
Immediately, Xiang Xinyang realized that these people were a den of snakes and rats!
Xiang Xinyang regretted it.
If she had known it would be like this, she should have done everything in her power to stop Jiang Yuan from attending this damn birthday party!
No problem at all if you don't attend the birthday party!
These people are all bad news!
"I didn't expect you to still remember Xiaoyuan after all these years abroad." Jiang Yusi smiled slightly, her eyes glancing at Jiang Yuan out of the corner of her eye.
I wanted to see her look terrified, but—
I disappointed her.
Jiang Yuan looked at them calmly, her eyes sharp.
Jiang Yusi was puzzled.
Back in college, Jiang Yuan was bullied by them quite a bit. Logically, they should have left a huge psychological scar on him. So why is he still able to calmly watch them?
Is Jiang Yuan some kind of saint?
How could she forgive those people who bullied her before?
"Of course we remember. We can't forget her, no matter who we forget."
"That's right. Don't forget that Jiang Yuan was the closest to us back then. We'll never forget her, no matter who else we forget."
"I still remember when Han Shao and Xu Shao went wherever you went, Jiang Yuan followed. I remember... Oh right, back then someone gave her a nickname, 'Little Dog,' because she wouldn't stick to anyone else, but she loved to stick to you guys." Wang Jiujiu crossed her arms, waiting to see a good show.
Wen Yi also smiled and said, "More than that, she doesn't like to play with girls, she only likes to play with you guys, Han Shao. When we look for her or talk to her, she ignores us."
They haven't forgotten that their declining fortunes are all because of Jiang Yuan.
If I hadn't run into Jiang Yuan at the mall and lingered there a little longer, how could I have been caught red-handed by that group of middle-aged women?
"Jiang Yuan, it's been a long time. Do you still recognize us?"
The group spoke in unison, and finally, the one named Hanwen spoke up, his scrutinizing gaze undisguised.
Jiang Yuan suppressed her anger, came to her senses, glanced at Hanwen's outstretched hand, and did not reach out for a long time.
