The crowd dispersed. Xie Jing, Wu Duo, Qiao Mei and Li Xue followed the teacher back to his office. This teacher was Xie Jings mentor in school and he did not know Wu Duo and the rest.
“The few of you, tell me what’s your major and why you’re arguing with my student,” the teacher asked while drinking tea.
“I’m Wu Duo, studying manufacturing. This is Qiao Mei, studying agriculture. That’s Li Xue, studying medicine,” Wu Duo answered honestly.
“l don’t care about your personal disputes and you should settle it among yourselves. However, you shouldn’t fight in school. It’s wrong to hit another person. You must apologize to Xie Jing,” the teacher said cunningly.
He was Xie Jings teacher, so he naturally spoke up for Xie Jinga Qiao Mei looked at the tea leaves on the teacher’s table and smiled. She said in a gentle tone, “These tea leaves are not bad. It looks like it’s this year’s new Longjing tea. I didn’t even manage to buy it. Professor, you really know your tea.”
A university professor was not paid well enough to afford such expensive tea leaves. The moment Qiao Mei highlighted this, the teacher immediately understood what she meant.
“It’s a gift from my friend. I don’t know anything about it. Since it’s a personal grudge between the two of you, then go and settle it in private. Don’t fight in the future,” the teacher said casually.
Xie Jing could only bite his tongue. Before he left, he gave Wu Duo and the others a resentful look.
During the weekend break, the four students came to Qiao Mei’s house for a visit, bearing gifts for Xia Yue. In fact, this was the first time they came to Qiao Mei’s house again after graduation.
When they came over in the past, Qiao Mei gave them tuition in the study.
Other than the study and the toilet, they had never been to any other room. Actually, they did not dare to explore the house either. After all, the Xia family was a prominent family. It would not be good if there was an esteemed guest at the house and they offended the guest by not knowing how to behave correctly.
Wu Duo told everyone about those things in his past. In any case, these few people were not outsiders to him and he was fine to let them know about it.
“l never expected that person named Xie Jing to be so terrible! No wonder you hate him so much. There’s nothing wrong with it. If it’s me, I will likely hate him more than you do,” Li Xue said.
“You’re really tolerant. You didn’t go and look for them for so many years,”Wang Wei said in admiration.
“l want to look for them! But the Xie family moved away and Cui Hua never returned to the village after that. I don’t even have a chance to take revenge,” Wu Duo said.
“We can’t let this matter rest just like that. When school starts next week, you have to go and ask him for the money,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“Ask him for the money? But didn’t we make up that story? How can I ask him for the money?” Wu Duo asked.
“If you have already asked him for payment once and then you stop, won’t that make it look like we’re lying? People will only believe you if you continue to chase for payment. This will also make things difficult for Xie Jing,” Qiao Mei said.
“That’s right! Why are you so smart! This never crossed my mind!” Wu Duo said excitedly.
Qiao Mei looked at Wu Duo helplessly and said, “It’s not that I’m smart, but that you’re too stupid. If you can get so easily played by Cui Hua and Xie Jing now, what will you do in the future?”
Wu Duo lowered his head dejectedly. He did not want to be played by others, but whenever he met these two people, he could not control his emotions. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l-B1n.
Seeing Wu Duo like this, Qiao Mei felt a little helpless. After all, she wanted these few people to become her close aides in the future. Qiao Mei would not dare to use a close aide who had a weak spot. If Wu Duo could not get through this difficult issue, then Qiao Mei would consider dropping him and nurturing someone else.
After all, there would be many people taking the examination every year and she would definitely be able to find like-minded people.
“Enough, I don’t have any intention of scolding you. These two are nothing. You can just use them for target practice. After all, you shouldn’t suffer for nothing these past two days,” Qiao Mei said.
Wu Duo suddenly felt his mood lighten. He had been nursing an inferiority complex all this while. When he found out that Cui Hua had left him for Xie Jing, he did not have the courage to go and ask her for an explanation. He did not even dare to appear in front of her, worried that she would compare him with Xie Jing.
However, things were different at the moment. He had passed the college entrance examination and entered Capital University. He definitely held more value than a student who entered university by way of a recommendation letter!
In the past, Xie Jing seemed so high and mighty. Now, Xie Jing was only good enough for his target practice! This difference made him feel much more confident..
