If these rumors were to spread, those who did not believe it in the first place would be convinced by her, and even praise Jiang Bilian’s kindness for not looking down on those classmates who were forced to sell their bodies!
She was really… evil!
Before Xia Yingluo could rush in, Jin Ling’er burst into rage. She shouted, “I’ll rip your mouth off!”
She rushed forward to hit Jiang Bilian.
Jiang Bilian screamed in shock and hid behind a guy nearby. The guy was fond of her and wanted to impress her. Thus, he pushed Jin Ling’er. “How can you hit your classmate? Where are your manners?”
Jin Ling’er nearly fell. She was shocked and angered. “Zhang Qiang, don’t be a busybody!”
“What do you mean by busybody?” Zhang Qiang gave her another shove and she fell straight to the ground. “I knew it from the start, you are the same kind as Xia Yingluo, selling your body for material gains. She wouldn’t have gotten the bursary without her beauty. How shameless!” He came from a poor family and had applied for the bursary as well. However, the school did not approve his application, and only approved Xia Yingluo’s. For that, he hated her and thought she used underhanded methods.
Xia Yingluo rushed to the door and saw this scene.
Her good friend Jin Ling’er was on the ground, the skin on her elbow scraped.
By the side, a few students were enjoying the show, while Zhang Qiang was protecting the damsel in distress, Jiang Bilian.
She could feel her blood boil as she walked up and pushed Zhang Qiang aside. “You are a man, how could you hurt a woman? You call yourself a hero?! If you are unhappy with me, you can take it out on me. Why confront Ling’er?”
She gave Zhang Qiang a hard shove. Zhang Qiang took a few steps back and nearly fell onto the floor. Jiang Bilian was not so lucky. She lost her footing and fell backwards in a manner uglier than Jin Ling’er.
Jin Ling’er burst out laughing.
Xia Yingluo ignored Jiang Bilian and continued shoving Zhang Qiang. “What do you mean by shameless? Explain to me! Both your parents are retired. No matter how tough, your family still receives two pensions. What about me? I have no source of income! And yet you want to compete for the bursary with me, and even malign me! You say that Ling’er has no manners? I think you are the one with no manners! Useless! Trash!”
Her ferocity scared Zhang Qiang as he retreated to the wall until he could not back off anymore.
Everyone was shocked. They did not expect Xia Yingluo to be so scary when she was angry. Usually, she looked so sweet. Who knew she had so much strength in her, so much that even Zhang Qiang, a tall man, could not match her.
A cry broke the silence. Jiang Bilian cried out, “My leg… So painful. Is it broken…”
Her weak cries drew sympathy from the crowd. Immediately, a guy went up to help her up. “Bilian, are you alright?”
Jiang Bilian shook her head and said, “I’m fine… I think. I can’t walk… Xia Yingluo pushed Zhang Qiang so hard, I did not have time to dodge and was hit by him…”
She bit her lip and looked down.
Xia Yingluo snorted. “It’s because you are too dumb to even dodge it.”
She hated those who enjoyed displaying self pity. Since young, her father had taught her two brothers to be careful of bitches who played the pity card. She was influenced by this and despised this type of woman.
Jiang Bilian happened to be of this type.
Jiang Bilian got scolded by her, and tears started rolling down.
Jiang Bilian’s follower, Zhu Zhu, could not stand it anymore and said, “Apologize to Bilian!”
“For what?” Xia Yingluo smirked. She walked towards Jin Ling’er and helped her up. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Jin Ling’er bore with the pain and started to mock Jiang Bilian as well. “Isn’t it just a scrape? Why are you acting like it’s such a big deal?”
Jiang Bilian cried out, “My leg hurts, I think the bone is broken. I’m not allowed to cry? Don’t be too overboard!”
Jin Ling’er smirked. “Oh, your leg is broken? That’s great, it takes a hundred days for bones to recover. How about you don’t participate in the monthly test?”
Jiang Bilian’s expression changed. The monthly test was imminent. If she did not attend it, it would affect her total score for the year. Her resources next semester would be heavily affected. She did not want to lose so much from a dispute.”
As if she was wronged, she said softly, “I… I need to check it at the school hospital.”
Xia Yingluo did not want to continue seeing her act and pulled Jin Ling’er aside. “Let them be, let’s practice, the test is coming soon.”
She turned around, found an empty space and started warming up.
Her slender body stretched beautifully like a graceful swan. Jiang Bilian was jealous. How could a girl be so pretty? The guys standing at the side could not take their eyes away from her. If someone asked who the most beautiful girl in the camp was, it had to be Xia Yingluo…
Jiang Bilian’s rumours about Xia Yingluo had made her the bitch who “prostituted herself for money”, and her complicated relationship with Zhao Yixuan and that mysterious black sports car further fed this rumor. Nonetheless, the guys still longed for her. They despised her character, yet wanted to be the one holding her in their arms.
Even the guy who helped Jiang Bilian up was stunned by Xia Yingluo’s beauty.
Jiang Bilian sensed this and was unhappy. She hinted at Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu understood her intentions. She pretended to walk towards Xia Yingluo unknowingly. Suddenly, she bumped into her. “Oops!”
Xia Yingluo was practicing a dance move where she stood with one leg. The bump caused her to fall heavily on the floor. Her ankle seemed to be injured and the pain was so intense, she broke out in cold sweat.
“I’m so sorry,” Zhuzhu said sarcastically. “Why didn’t you dodge it, are you too stupid to do so?”
She returned Xia Yingluo’s snide remarks to her.
Xia Yingluo did not have the time to argue with her. She could feel her body in pain. The pain she was suppressing earlier came back and she was unable to stop it…
If not for the sudden jolt of pain, she would definitely have dodged Zhu Zhu’s bump.
Xia Yingluo could not utter a word due to the pain. She was anxious. What was happening to her? How could just one night of BDSM bring so much pain? If Jin Ling’er was right, even if it was her first time, it should not be so painful!
