“It’s very simple. Find a way to ruin Qiao Mei’s reputation. Any way is fine. As long as her reputation is ruined, my goal is achieved,” Tan Jing said fiercely. She wished that she could chop Qiao Mei into multiple pieces right now.
Xie Jing looked at Tan Jing for a long time before he smiled. He asked, “You seem to hate her very much?”
“Don’t ask about my issues. You don’t need to know anything either. You just need to know the outcome I want. Can you do it?” Tan Jing said with a slight frown.
“This is not a small matter. If I’m not careful, my reputation will be ruined.
Qiao Mei is related to a prominent family. If I take any cheap shots at her, that family will come right out and kill me.” Xie Jing said.
“You can’t just sit back and expect things to fall into your lap. Don’t you know that dangerous tasks give the best returns? I don’t need your answer right now. I’ll give you half a month to think about it. If you don’t come to look for me after half a month, it means that the deal is off.” With that, Tan Jing put on her coat and left the cafeteria.
After she walked out, Xie Jing tried to peep at her through the window. She got into a black sports car, but he could not see the license plate number clearly.
Tan Jing had actually borrowed this sports car from Huang Quan t s friend. Huang Quan t s lousy car belonged to his workplace! It was not grand enough for her to show off in such a situation.
That night, Xie Jings father suddenly received a call offering him a job at a police station as an administrator in charge of documents. Although this position was nothing spectacular, it was still a stable government job.
“Son, look at me! Your father is still quite capable!” Xie Kun said excitedly to Xie Jing.
Xie Jing gave his father a cursory response. He had thought that Tan Jing said that to tempt him and he did not expect her to be telling the truth. However, he could not just agree to help Tan Jing immediately. He did not know Tan Jings background and whether she had the clout to fight with Qiao Mei.
The next day at school, Xie Jing remained deep in thought, still thinking about the details of his meeting with Tan Jing. He wanted to try and recall if there were any clues to suggest which family Tan Jing was from. As he was too lost in his own thoughts, he did not see Wu Duo walking towards him.
Xie Jing bumped into Wu Duo and instinctively said apologetically, “I’m sorry. My apologies for bumping into you.”
“What exactly are you thinking about? You almost shattered my chest!” Wu Duo shouted in pain.
Xie Jings expression instantly darkened. He looked at Wu Duo impatiently and said, “As if you are made of glass and will shatter with a light touch.”
“How can you say that! You are the one who bumped into me! Yet you’re the one who complained first! When are you going to return me the money! It’s been so long! You have to give me a clear answer! You should at least offer to pay me a small sum every week!” Wu Duo shouted agitatedly.
What Wu Duo said immediately attracted many passers-by. Xie Jing was quite well-known in school and the news of the fight a few days ago had spread like wildfire. Everyone was waiting to see what would happen next!
“Don’t push your luck…” Xie Jing growled softly.
“Explain yourself if you dare. Tell everyone how you snatched my university spot back then and how much money your father owes. It’s best if you explain everything that happened in the past so I can get justice served,” Wu Duo also said softly.
All these things were not aboveboard and Xie Jing would never speak of them. Wu Duo also knew that Xie Jing would not say anything and he only said these words to make Xie Jing angry.
However, Xie Jing did not fall for it but sized up Wu Duo’s dressing instead. Ever since the other day when his mentor mocked Wu Duo for dressing like a person who was not well off, Wu Duo had dressed a little better. This was also what Qiao Mei had told Wu Duo to do. She said he should let everyone know that his family was not short of money before keeping a low profile again.
“I seem to recall that you applied to be on the list of underprivileged students when you started school. How can an underprivileged student afford to wear such a nice watch!” Xie Jing pointed at Wu Duo’s watch and said sarcastically.
For a moment, Wu Duo did not know how to rebut. Some time back, his family really did not have much money. His father only met Qiao Mei and got the job after school started. He did not expect Xie Jing to even know about these things. Cui Hua must have told Xie Jing about it.
“That’s true… Look at him, he doesn’t look poor…”
“Is it so easy to qualify as an underprivileged student in our school? There must be something fishy going on!’
