296 Killing a Chicken for the Monkey to See
“Shan Yue, do you know that you look really funny now? You’re clearly inferior to others in everything, but you have to make it sound like you’re very powerful.”
Xu Lu covered her mouth and sneered unscrupulously. “Yes, my family background might not be as good as some of the people here, but isn’t it enough to be better than you? Your family probably can’t even afford a car and a house, right? Can your savings reach tens of thousands? Besides, if the school’s dean can’t cover me, can I beg you to cover me?”
“Don’t say that. Isn’t this a coincidence? I do have a car.” Shan Yue opened her mouth slightly and slowly picked out a hint of playfulness. “Do you want me to get my assistant to drive it over for you to see? Or you can drive your car over too and let’s compete?”
At this point, not only did the people behind Xu Lu burst into laughter, but even Tang Hui, who had always looked down on Shan Yue, could not hold it in anymore. Even Lin Miao, who was beside her, could not help but laugh. Instantly, the scene lost control. The passersby looked over as if they were looking at a fool, but they could not understand what was going on.
At this moment, Tang Hui also joined in. “Senior, compare yourself to her. She’s from a poor village. What are you afraid of? Did you hear what she said? She has an assistant. Not only does she have a car, but she also has an assistant. I don’t believe that a country bumpkin can take out any good car. Although I’m in the same dormitory as her, I’m on your side.”
“Of course there’s no problem. Even if you don’t say these words, I’ll agree to her. How can I not satisfy such a strange wish of someone who can’t wait to be slapped in the face?” The corners of Xu Lu’s mouth were vaguely cold. “Tell me, how do you want to compete? But there’s no point in simply competing. We have to set up some bets, right? What if you lose?”
An unknown meaning flashed across Shan Yue’s eyes. “Of course it’s very simple. Get someone to drive the car over now. If I lose, I can agree to whatever request you make. However, if you lose, my request is very simple. Just bow three times in public and apologize.”
Xu Lu agreed readily because she felt that it was impossible for Shan Yue to win against her. “Bow to you? It’s not even time yet, but you’re already thinking about me losing. I really don’t know who gave you this courage to have such thoughts. However, let me make it clear first. Don’t come back crying and begging me when you can’t fulfill my request after you lose.”
Shan Yue pursed her lips silently and put on an indifferent attitude. “If I can lose, I can get it back for you even if you want me to pluck the stars and the moon. But perhaps you don’t know something yet. I, Shan Yue, won’t do anything I’m not confident of, and I’ve never lost.”
Without waiting for Xu Lu to mock her, Tang Hui could not stand it anymore. “Alright, alright. There’s no need to continue showing your ability. I know you can talk. Don’t you find it embarrassing to quibble so much?”
“I think you’re the one who’s really embarrassed, Tang Hui.” Yu Xin slammed the table and stood up, staring at her angrily. “We’re all friends in the same dormitory. What deep hatred can we not get over? I believe in Shan Yue’s character. She won’t steal and snatch a box of cosmetics at all. You’re helping outsiders without figuring out the truth. I really regret being assigned to the same dormitory as you.”
“We’re just sleeping in the same dormitory. I really don’t have any hostility towards you and Lin Miao. We can be good friends.” Tang Hui’s eyes turned cold when she turned to Shan Yue. “But it’s different for Shan Yue. I’m very generous to admit that I’m targeting you. You know the reason in your heart. You can only blame yourself for being unlucky.”
Shan Yue did not even look at her directly. She glanced sideways and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. “You can only say a few more words now. Even Tang Li can’t do anything to me, let alone you. Do you know why I haven’t dealt with you all this time? It’s because I don’t fancy a small character like you at all, understand? However, since you’re all like this, I can only kill a chicken for the monkey to see. It’s just that you’re that monkey.”
