Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Nian casted another glance at Jiang Ning.

In Wen Nian’s previous life, Jiang Ning had been manipulated and used by Huang Yue, which resulted in an unfortunate outcome. Realizing that Jiang Ning’s experience wasn’t much better than her own, and considering that she had only mocked Jiang Ning in the past, Wen Nian had never harbored ill will or taken any action against her.

However, observing Jiang Ning’s apparent intention to confront her alongside Wei Lai, Wen Nian had no intention of showing any mercy. She responded with a direct mocking remark, “Jiang Ning, with your level of intelligence, it would be wise for you to refrain from being a bootlicker if you can’t even comprehend the situation. First, determine whether you prefer humans or ghosts. Bootlickers never end up well!”

Jiang Ning felt deeply insulted by the remark questioning her intelligence. Despite entering No. 1 High School with a disadvantaged background, she found it difficult to accept such a blatant declaration from others.

Furthermore, if No. 1 High School’s academic achievements were compared to those of other ordinary high schools, they would rank within the top 100 of the entire student cohort!

However, what affected Jiang Ning the most was not Wen Nian’s verbal attack on her but rather the attack on Wei Xiao, someone Jiang Ning had feelings for. For someone infatuated, attacking the person they held affection for could be more emotionally distressing than being attacked themselves.

Jiang Ning made a move to confront Wen Nian, but before she could do so, Wen Nian swiftly reacted and grabbed Jiang Ning’s hand, swiftly using her momentum to throw Jiang Ning over her shoulder.

Jiang Ning, unaccustomed to being handled in such a manner, found herself in distress. Usually, even a minor injury would bring her to tears. As tears streamed down her face, she cried out in pain, unable to bear the discomfort she was experiencing.

Wei Lai was taken aback by Wen Nian’s audacity to physically engage with her. Furthermore, she was surprised by Wen Nian’s strength. In a moment of reaction, Wei Lai grabbed a nearby plant from a plastic pot and hurled it towards Wen Nian.

Such a flower pot was not lethal, but this was the only thing Wei Lai could immediately obtain.

Wen Nian’s reflexes were incredibly swift. Before Wei Lai could respond, she swiftly removed the flowers from within the pot and flung them towards Wei Lai, causing the petals to scatter onto Wei Lai’s white cotton shirt. The impact left a distinct mud mark on the fabric, which did not appear inexpensive.

In her continued state of anger, Wen Nian took two steps forward and forcefully dug the soil from the flower pot, flinging it directly into Wei Lai’s face.

Wei Lai’s carefully applied makeup, intended for a special date, was instantly smeared and covered in wet soil as a result of Wen Nian’s action.

Frowning, Wei Lai stood still, feeling the dirt on her face. She was unsure whether to wipe it off or leave it as it was.

Observing the sorry state of both herself and Wei Lai, Wen Nian’s lips curved into a slight smile. She gently held one of Wei Lai’s hands and placed the flower pot in her palm. With a warning tone, she stated, “Let this be a piece of advice for you. Do not provoke me again in the future!”

With that, Wen Nian turned around and left.

Wei Lai hugged the flower pot and did not dare to move. She collapsed and shouted on the spot.

At that moment, Jiang Chun hurriedly approached the two of them and expressed surprise, saying, “Oh my goodness! 1 just briefly looked down to send a message. How did things escalate to this point?”

The two were in no mood to answer. Jiang Chun assisted Jiang Ning in getting up before retrieving a handkerchief from her bag. With a gentle touch, she proceeded to wipe the mud off Wei Lai’s face, displaying a caring gesture.

Wei Lai gazed at Jiang Chun with gratitude, appreciating her assistance, as she had always disliked getting dirty, especially with soil.

As the three of them settled back in the cafe and regained their composure, Jiang Ning and Wei Lai immediately expressed their grievances to Jiang Chun, wearing expressions of anger and frustration, recounting the incident involving Wen Nian’s actions.

Wei Lai’s frustration reached its peak as she slammed her hand on the table, her eyes bloodshot with anger. “No, I cannot just let this go!”

Jiang Ning held her waist and leaned against the cushion. She nodded and said aggrievedly, “My parents have never hurt a single finger of mine since 1 was young!”

Jiang Chun listened to them from the side and said with a conflicted expression, “In the end, I’ve misjudged her. But forget it. It’s better to resolve enmity than to keep it alive. Although 1 don’t know Wen Nian well, I don’t think you’re her match after seeing how she messed you up.”

When the two of them heard this, they were even more indignant. Recalling what had happened at the birthday party last time, they decided to fight back, but they realized that they could not think of a good solution.

After a while, Jiang Chun looked at the two of them, who were still thinking hard, and a hint of disdain flashed across her eyes. Then, she shook her head helplessly. “Why don’t you go home first? It’s still early May, and it’s still cold. Today, the temperature has dropped to three to five degrees Celsius again. Wei Lai, you were freezing just now when you washed your face with cold water. Hurry back and drink some ginger soup to warm your body. Otherwise, you’ll catch a cold. You’ll be the one feeling horrible.”

Wei Lai’s eyes lit up as if she had been enlightened. “Cold water! A cold! Good idea!”

Jiang Ning gazed at Wei Lai with a perplexed expression, prompting Wei Lai to provide an explanation of her plan. Afterwards, Wei Lai turned to Jiang Chun and complimented her, saying, “Sister Jiang Chun, you are truly brilliant! Your intelligence matches that of someone who excels in academics!”

Jiang Chun explained anxiously, “I’m asking you to go home, not giving you ideas.. The two of you are not allowed to cause anymore trouble!”
