Chapter 591: I’ll Let You Know That You’re Messing With the Wrong Person
Tang Xiaoxiao said, “I heard from Ding Hang that Su Jiaying is Bai Yufang’s granddaughter. Bai’s Pharmaceutical Group is very famous in the capital, so the university probably won’t punish Su Jiaying on account of the Bai family. It’s possible that…”
Despite her unfinished sentence, everyone understood what she was saying. Su Jiaying, after that fiasco, would not let things slide. Gu Mang would very likely be in trouble instead, despite being the victim.
Zheng Miao could not help but frown and cast a look of concern at Gu Mang, who was tapping away at her phone, seemingly replying to messages.
[Lu Chengzhou: I’ll be going to Red Scorpion’s main base in the afternoon. Give me a call if anything crops up.]
[Mm,] replied Gu Mang before tossing her phone aside and raising an eyebrow flippantly. “Quite some background she’s got.”
She then took a look at the time. They had twenty minutes to go before they were required to report for afternoon training. She got up, pulled her backpack over, and started packing the things required for military training.
Knowing that anyone would feel terrible having such a thing happen to them, Tang Xiaoxiao felt even more sympathetic about Gu Mang’s situation when she saw how emotionless she was being as if she had accepted her fate. She, therefore, tried consoling her. “She’s a senior member of the medical organization and also a big shot in the capital’s pharmaceutical sector. Sigh… Sometimes, we just—”
Her words got cut off when an unwanted person came sauntering into the room with two lackeys in tow. Her expression immediately changed to a scowl, as did Zheng Miao’s.
Unlike her earlier ashen face, Su Jiaying now appeared overbearing as she entered the room with her chin lifted. She tossed her phone onto her bed before turning around to face Gu Mang with a smirk. Her voice was laced with provocation when she spoke. “Gu Mang, the capital is different from the countryside where you came from. Did you think you could go against me just because you have some fame? Just wait and see who the university will ultimately send packing.”
A ball of fury surged within Tang Xiaoxiao when she saw Su Jiaying’s smug look. Gu Mang, on the other hand, merely zipped up her backpack, tossed it on her bed, then curled her lips up into a smirk. “I’ll let you know that you’re messing with the wrong person.”
Su Jiaying had been in the doorway when she heard Tang Xiaoxiao say something about her maternal grandfather being Bai Yufang, so she reckoned that Gu Mang would eat crow in her presence. Alas, contrary to expectations, Gu Mang wore nothing but contempt, disdain, and arrogance on her face. It was as though the other girl saw her as a piece of trash. Livid, she did not hesitate to raise her hand to deliver a stinging slap to her nemesis.
Tang Xiaoxiao, who stood closest to Gu Mang, instinctively moved to block Su Jiaying. When she failed to do so, she anxiously shouted, “Gu Mang!”
What happened next astounded her. With lightning speed, Gu Mang grabbed Su Jiaying’s collar with one hand and slammed her hard against the wall in one move. She then pressed her arm against Su Jiaying’s shoulder with great force, which made her gasp in pain. Su Jiaying felt as though her ribs were going to be crushed. Her back was hurting badly as well.
The two girls who came with Su Jiaying immediately moved to help her after they got over their initial shock. Hooking the adjacent folding chair with her leg, Gu Mang grabbed it and used it to whack the girl in lead. With a scream, the girl collapsed on the ground. Everything happened in just a matter of seconds.
Startled by her aggression, the girl in the back stared fearfully at Gu Mang, who had the folding chair pointed so closely at her it was about to touch her forehead. Her eyes were wide open as she stood stiffly in place.
Gu Mang held the chair up in her fair, well defined hand. The action revealed how accustomed she was to fighting. Thus, the last girl dared not make the slightest movement.
Gu Mang scoffed as if she were issuing both a warning and a threat. It scared the girl so much she trembled with fear.
