In her room, Rong Feiyu sat on the bed, having changed into fresh clothes, her eyes swollen with tears. After making a phone call, Wang Qing took a seat beside her to offer fort.
“Feiyu, don’t you worry, honey. I won’t let you suffer for nothing. Whether it’s Su Yifan or Rong Qi, I’ll make sure they pay the price.”
“But Mom, what exactly are you planning? We’re no match for Rong Qi now. We could handle Su Yifan, but going after Rong Qi? That won’t be easy,” Rong Feiyu sobbed.
“You leave that to me. I have my ways,” Wang Qing’s eyes flashed ruthlessly.
“But what about my education? I’ve been expelled from Capital University, and the pany doesn’t know yet. What if they sue me for breach of contract?” Rong Feiyu asked.
Losing face was one thing, but Rong Feiyu’s budding career in the entertainment industry was at stake. If this scandal led to her being blacklisted, it would be a disastrous setback.
Wang Qing was also distressed over the matter, furrowing her brows in thought. She said, “Feiyu, Capital University is off the table now. How about we go back to Crescent University? You got in there before after all. With a little more money, your return to the university would be fully justified.”
“But how can Crescent University pare to Capital University?” Rong Feiyu said disdainfully.
Yet, if not Crescent University, Rong Feiyu had no idea where to go.
After a moment of sullen silence, Rong Feiyu spoke bitterly, “Fine, Crescent University then. When the Capital University finds out, there will be smear campaigns for sure. Mom, keep an eye on the online chatter. Pull down anything you can.”
“Understood, don’t worry about it.” Wang Qing assured.
Exhausted by the ordeal, Rong Feiyu soon fell asleep.
Once Wang Qing was sure Rong Feiyu was sound asleep, she quietly closed the door behind her and made a phone call. “Keep tabs on Rong Qi, and report back her every move to me.”
Rong Feiyu and Su Yifan’s expulsion brought no end of joy to Lu Qi, who had endured more than her fair share of torment from them. Now that the two were gone from school, even the scenery of the university seemed brighter to Lu Qi.
“This must be karma. What goes around, es around.” Lu Qi mused as she flipped through her books, sticking out her tongue.
Rong Qi’s lips curled up in a sly smile. “Today’s the final exam. Are you all caught up with the material?”
Lu Qi stared at Rong Qi, utterly captivated. Lu Qi said, “Caught up? I guess…?”
“Is there something on my face?” Rong Qi teased, rolling up her sleeves and brushing aside the bangs that fell into Lu Qi’s eyes.
The simple gesture, performed by Rong Qi, seemed to carry an unintentional seductive charm.
“It’s just… Your smile, your movements, they’re so enchanting. Almost devilish… Oh, if only you were a man! I’d marry you in a heartbeat!” Lu Qi exclaimed.
Rong Qi paused, the smile on her face deepening. “It’s a good thing I’m not a man, otherwise I’d never hear the end of it.”
“Ahh, stop talking! My nose is going to bleed!” said Lu Qi.
Lu Qi clutched at her chest, feeling her heart race as her sight began to turn foggy while reading.
Moments later, a single drop of crimson blood splattered onto the book.
Both Lu Qi and Rong Qi froze, exchanging a quick glance before looking away.
“Whoa, Lu Qi, you got a nosebleed there!” Huang Hao said as he passed by with a bottle of water, his eyes wide with curiosity at Lu Qi’s flushed face.
Red-faced and flustered, Lu Qi threw her book at Huang Hao’s head and bolted from the room, hands over her nose.
Rong Qi remained silent throughout, not daring to speak or investigate further.
“May peace be upon us,” Rong Qi chanted inwardly, reciting the Great passion Mantra.
The exam was scheduled from nine in the morning until eleven-thirty, but normally, one could finish in just an hour.
Rong Qi didn’t have to take the exam or invigilate. She sat fortably in President Zhang’s office, reviewing documents and catching up with her teacher from Merica..
