The conflict was about to erupt, and Yang Hui stood up as the peacemaker, "Let’s just drop it, we’re all classmates, everyone just say less."
"We don’t need you to say so; aren’t you in cahoots with them? What are you pretending to be good for now?" Dong Minghui glared at Yang Hui.
Although Yang Hui had a good temper, being spoken to like this, she was unwilling, "Dong Minghui, don’t take my good intentions for granted. If it weren’t for you using your status to pressure others, how could this situation arise? Liu Nan didn’t even say anything, Ye Ling just smiled, and you pressed on relentlessly. We’re at school now; regardless of your status at ho, here everyone is equal."
"I see that’s what you’ve been thinking all along. In this room, you’re the only one not from an intellectual background; of course, you’d hope for equality for everyone," Dong Minghui sneered at Yang Hui.
Yang Hui was so embarrassed her face turned red, "Dong Minghui, stop being unreasonable. I may not be as influential as you who co from an intellectual family, so what? The school never said kids from ordinary families couldn’t co here. I know you look down on , but it’s enough that I respect myself."
By the end of her words, tears welled up in Yang Hui’s eyes.
Ye Ling got up, walked over, held Yang Hui’s hand, and looked up at Dong Minghui. Liu Nan was gritting her teeth in anger, "Dong Minghui, you really disgrace those of us from intellectual backgrounds."
Such bullying and looking down on others—if Liu Nan didn’t have a good upbringing, she would’ve hit soone long ago. Ye Ling originally didn’t want to say much, but Yang Hui and Liu Nan were standing up for her after all.
"Dong Minghui, I may not understand other things, but I can see your future; with such a narrow mind, you won’t achieve any great success," Ye Ling bluntly pointed out. "Do you really think I am afraid of you when you speak to like this? I disdain to argue with soone like you. You’re like a mad dog that bites anyone it sees. To avoid getting bitten by a dog, I’d just stay far away."
Dong Minghui stood up, "Ye Ling, say that again?"
Clearly, the person who seed humble in the morning dared to challenge her now, having climbed higher. If she didn’t show her a lesson today, who knows how arrogant she’d be in the future.
Ye Ling sneered, ignoring Yang Hui’s attempts to stop her from arguing, "Let tell you, where I’m from, I’ve seen plenty of people like you. I tell you, not to brag, but for people like you, I’m specifically capable of fixing your issues. If you don’t believe , just wait and see."
Ye Ling may not have been the most remarkable among the few people, but as soon as she spoke, her imposing presence ca out, startling the few people in the room.
"Alright, let’s see how you fix ," Dong Minghui charged toward Ye Ling.
"Dong Minghui, what are you trying to do?" Liu Nan shouted anxiously when she saw her about to hit soone.
Yang Hui quickly blocked Ye Ling behind her, but Ye Ling pulled Yang Hui aside. "You all don’t need to intervene. If she dares hit today, she can pack her things and go ho tomorrow."
These words stopped Dong Minghui, who was already in front of Ye Ling. Her raised hand froze in mid-air, daring to fall but unable to drop it. Her eyes glared fiercely at Ye Ling, who raised her chin and mockingly looked at her. Yang Hui and Liu Nan in the room were happy, realizing Ye Ling, who usually spoke little, was actually quite formidable. anwhile, Ma Yue glared hatefully at Ye Ling, recalling the saying about silent dogs biting hard.
Just then, a voice interjected, "What’s going on here? You’re not sleeping late at night; what’s all this?"
As soon as the words fell, Guo Min stepped into the room, scanned the room, and finally landed on Ma Yue, "Ma Yue, what happened here?"
Guo Min looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing a suit, with a broad-faced, short-haired man’s stern look, seeming quite formidable. However, after her sharp gaze swept the room, it softened considerably on Ma Yue.
Ma Yue stood up, "Instructor, Ye Ling and Dong Minghui got into an argunt."
Seeing the newcor, Ma Yue stood up, instantly becoming obedient. Guo Min knew Ma Yue; she was the granddaughter of an old professor, whose parents had passed away early, raised by the old professor and his wife. When she ca to school, the old professor had specially instructed her to take extra care of Ma Yue.
Knowing Ma Yue naturally ant recognizing Dong Minghui too.
Hearing Ma Yue’s words, Guo Min then looked toward Dong Minghui and Ye Ling. By the ti Guo Min entered, Dong Minghui had already lowered her hand. Seeing the instructor looking over, Dong Minghui put on a look of grievance but remained silent. Guo Min then directed her gaze at Ye Ling.
This year’s new students included just these few girls. Guo Min had reviewed everyone’s information and knew Ye Ling had skipped grades to get in. Now hearing Ma Yue’s report of their argunt, she automatically put the bla on Ye Ling, sensing that talented students often carried so arrogance, especially those skipping grades.
Ye Ling wasn’t a fool. Seeing the situation, she knew Ma Yue and the instructor knew each other. Ma Yue directly pointed it out, making it clear the instructor would likely side with them. Although she couldn’t do anything about it publicly, who knew what might happen in private? Just starting school, with four years ahead, Ye Ling didn’t want to be suppressed by a teacher.
Understanding all this took just a mont, but after Ma Yue spoke, Ye Ling directly said, "Instructor, Dong Minghui bullies those not from academic backgrounds by flaunting her own. She insults everyone who tries to reason with her. I rely stated a few fair words without arguing with her."
Guo Min was montarily stunned, looked at Dong Minghui with a stern face, and said, "Regardless of where you ca from before entering the school, once you’re in, everyone is treated equally. Military training starts tomorrow; persevere through these three months."
Addressing the few in the room, Guo Min finally left. The room gradually returned to its normal activity. Liu Nan walked over, pulling Ye Ling and Yang Hui aside, "You heard the instructor, we’re all treated equally here."
She chinned toward Dong Minghui, her eyes mocking as they flitted over Ma Yue.
Ma Yue had expected Sister Guo to side with her, never anticipating this outco. She ignored Dong Minghui and turned her back on the bed.
Having lost face, Dong Minghui knew she couldn’t make up for it today, glaring fiercely before heading back to her bed. Ye Ling raised her eyebrows, "Liu Nan, I was the first to check in. I rember when I ca, your na tag was on the bottom bunk."
With a single sentence, the dormitory fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.
Dong Minghui was the first to jump up guiltily, "Ye Ling, stop stirring up trouble. You say you were first, but who can prove it?" (To be continued.
