Because Bai Aiwen was previously helped by Xinyan and Jiang Peiqin, she couldnât tolerate Qiao Shanmei treating Xinyan this way.
Whatâs more, Xinyan is always kind and friendly to everyone, has never looked down on anyone, and has even brought homemade spicy sauce to share with everyone. Just because Xinyan helped Cui Haili, Qiao Shanmei resorts to spreading rumors to ruin her reputation. Her heart is truly dark.
Jiang Peiqin also came down from her bed at this moment, walked over to Qiao Shanmeiâs bed, and asked with a stern face, "Qiao Shanmei, is what Aiwen said true? Are you maliciously spreading those rumors about Xinyan?"
Qiao Shanmeiâs mind was in chaos now, and being questioned by her dormmates made her feel like she was about to break down. Overwhelmed with anxiety, she stood up to face everyone: "Yes, yes, it was me. Who asked her to meddle? Who asked her to live so carefree? Who asked her to come from a provincial capital and yet have such good relatives in the Capital? I simply wanted to ruin her, to make her unable to stay at Beijing University."
Outside the 306 dorm, a number of students who heard the commotion had gathered to gossip. Hearing Qiao Shanmeiâs words, they looked at each other stunned, wondering what kind of person she was.
Is she someone who fabricates rumors to ruin others just because she dislikes them? Itâs truly terrifying.
Bai Aiwenâs face turned ashen as she said, "Qiao Shanmei, you really are shameless. Did the spicy sauce Xinyan shared with you get eaten by a dog?"
Cui Haili chimed in, "Someone living a good life is their own business. Are you just harming others out of jealousy? If youâre not having a good life, itâs because of your fate; you blame the wrong person."
Even Zhang Zhaodi frowned and said, "Shanmei, how could you do this? We worked so hard to get into Beijing University. Arenât you destroying your future prospects? Who do you think you owe for this?"
Furthermore, Xinyan has never bothered you. Weâre all classmates; how could you have the audacity to do such a harmful thing?"
Qiao Shanmei glared sideways at Zhang Zhaodi, "Did the little favors people gave you buy you off? That spicy sauce was shared just because she stopped eating at the cafeteria and it wouldâve spoiled otherwise. Itâs not out of goodwill. Foolish."
Jiang Peiqin couldnât listen anymore, raised her hand, and slapped Qiao Shanmei, "A person like you shouldnât remain at Beijing University."
After saying this, she turned and left the dorm.
Qiao Shanmei dared not confront Jiang Peiqin, but she was seething inside, feeling like everyone was laughing at her. She stood up and attacked Cui Haili directly, "If you hadnât taken my job, I wouldnât resent Han Xinyan, nor would I have made things to frame her.
I owe what I am today entirely to you. Iâll beat you, troublemaker. You got married and still came to which university? Why arenât you watching your kids at home, instead of coming here to cause a scene."
After these words, not only Cui Haili as the person involved but even those students gathered outside the 306 dorm to hear gossip were fed up. They thought Qiao Shanmei must be like a dog, biting anyone she encounters.
The 306 dorm became chaotic. Zhang Zhaodi wasnât able to restrain Qiao Shanmei alone and shouted to the upper bunk, "Yuelan, come down quickly and help."
Su Yuelan hurriedly climbed down, not even bothering to wear shoes, and quickly intervened.
Fan Xiaoxing was scared pale watching, thinking Qiao Shanmei was losing her mind. Being small-sized, she couldnât even approach to help before she was pushed aside by the others, frantically yelling, "Stop fighting, or youâll alert the dorm supervisor."
But as soon as she shouted this, the dorm supervisorâs loud voice was heard, "Everyone stop now! How dare you fight in the dorm, arenât you afraid of getting punished?
Youâre supposed to be students of Beijing University, regarded by others as highly knowledgeable and high-class individuals. What are you doing now?"
After lecturing them, the dorm supervisor addressed the students gathered at the door, "Disperse now, go back to your own business."
Then she turned to the residents of the 306 dorm and said, "Iâll report todayâs incident truthfully to your counselor, and youâll deal with the consequences."
The dorm supervisor was very angry and said if it werenât so late, she would have summoned the counselor for a thorough reprimand, "Quickly tidy up the dorm, if thereâs another fight, Iâll call the security office."
Afterward, seeing they were listening, she turned and left.
The incident in the dorm quickly reached their counselor He Chongyang. He was undecided, knowing the department would surely impose stiff penalties, yet as her counselor, he felt some reluctance, aware of how difficult it was to get into Beijing University.
He himself had come from a rural background and understood what a university studentâs achievement meant to their family?
