Chapter 28: You’re Not Awake, Let Me Perk You up!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Tang Beibei was standing in line to get her lunch when she heard a group of students gossip about her. She made a conscious decision to ignore them.
Their mouths belonged to them, and she couldn’t stop them from gossiping. It was better for her to do her own thing.
Suddenly, she heard the ding of an incoming text on her phone. She clicked on it and saw that it was from Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi had sent her a few photos and screenshots.
She clicked on the photos. There was a solo photo of her and another photo of her getting out of the car. She didn’t see anything special.
She clicked on the screenshot and saw that it was a post about a gold-digger who sold her body for money with all kinds of scolding and belittling comments.
She asked Ruan Qi, “What is this?”
“I found the link to this post in another group chat. It was posted from a public account. I don’t know who is so free to send it to various school group chats.
Beibei, where are you? I think you should investigate this matter immediately.”
Tang Beibei furrowed her eyebrows. The people who did these things were indeed very free. She was not a celebrity or a famous person.
She also didn’t do anything wrong. Why did people hate her?
“By the way, what’s up with the photos? What’s so special about them?”
“Silly Beibei, can’t you see that they are meant to be compared side by side?”
Tang Beibei saw it. The first picture was blurry, and the second one was clearer, but what was the big deal? She wasn’t a pretty girl.
Ruan Qi guessed that Tang Beibei didn’t get it, so she told her directly. “It’s the clothes you wear. What you have on now is branded. Your shoes today also cost more than ten thousand yuan.”
“How is that possible? My clothes were all bought with discounts at the store. They’re very cheap, only a few hundred yuan.” Tang Beibei explained.
Ruan Qi’s mouth twitched.
What luxury brands sold were their brands. There was no way their merchandise would be discounted to a few hundred yuan!
But she also knew Tang Beibei well. She wouldn’t lie about this kind of thing because she had a weird brain generating strange ideas, and she was very careful with money.
She would feel the pinch even if she paid a cent more, so she couldn’t have bought these clothes.
“Perhaps they are high-quality knockoffs. Those people are ignorant and can’t tell that they are high-quality knockoffs. That’s why they slandered you.” Ruan Qi replied.
Tang Beibei agreed with her. She didn’t even dare to think about such expensive brands. Even if she had bought something branded, it would only be for special occasions where she needed to dress up.
She looked at the dress she was wearing. It was quite comfortable. Even if it was a knockoff, she still liked it.
She didn’t care about these things. She collected her lunch and found a seat.
Halfway through her meal, a crazy woman came up to her and spat into her bowl.
She was so disgusted by the saliva in her bowl that she wanted to vomit.
“Who are you? Why did you spit?”
Tang Beibei stared at the woman who spat at her. She had long curly hair, exquisite makeup, and was well-dressed.
But she didn’t know this person at all!
The woman didn’t think she had done anything wrong and said arrogantly, “Because I saw something disgusting. I felt nauseated and spat.”
“You did that on purpose. Your behavior is unacceptable, you know?”
The woman snorted. “Oh, you think it’s unacceptable? I’ve thought too highly of you. You sold your body to a rich man and even seduced Lu Fan. I only spat into your bowl. I should have spat in your face!”
“You!” Tang Beibei took a deep breath. This woman was simply being unreasonable. “You don’t have any evidence. This is slander and I demand your apology!”
“Are you even worthy of an apology?”
The woman sneered, her eyes full of contempt.
“Tang Beibei, let me remind a whore like you. Stay away from Lu Fan, or I’ll be throwing you sulfuric acid next time!”
There were many mobile phones recording the scene now. Some girls even joined in to criticize Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei was so angry that she clenched her fists and asked the woman coldly, “What’s your name? which faculty are you from?”
“You don’t deserve to know any of that. I just want to teach you a lesson. You must pay the price for getting things without hard work, you disgusting thing!”
Tang Beibei laughed in amusement. She was just minding her own business having lunch, and trouble landed on her out of nowhere.
She took out her phone and started recording the woman.
“I don’t know what I did wrong, but you spat into my bowl and insulted me. I’ll send this video to the school and let them see which faculty produced such a high-quality student!”
Seeing Tang Beibei recording her, the woman reached out to snatch Tang Beibei’s phone but Tang Beibei raised her phone and dodged her.
The woman couldn’t snatch Tang Beibei’s phone and felt a little afraid.
She roared, “Tang Beibei, if you want to escalate this, fine! I’ll tell the whole world what you’ve done. I’ll say that you’re a shameless b*tch who would sleep with anyone as long as they pay you!”
This woman said such derogatory words in front of so many people and all the students were looking at her strangely. Tang Beibei gritted her teeth but still held on.
She told herself that she hadn’t done anything wrong and she shouldn’t be afraid.
Only people who had done wrong should feel afraid!
“Go ahead and tell them. I’m curious to see if you have the talent of a screenwriter!”
The woman saw that Tang Beibei was not afraid at all. She figured that Tang Beibei must be an immoral woman who’s unafraid of gossip. It could also be that the men she slept with were powerful people.
She lunged forward again to snatch Tang Beibei’s phone. Tang Beibei was no match for her strength and watched as her cell phone was about to be snatched away.
Tang Beibei wasn’t worried that she would delete the video. She was worried that this woman would take revenge and smash her phone. If her phone was broken, she would need to buy a new one and that would cost her a lot of money.
“Yuan Jiaojiao, stop!”
A man’s voice suddenly rang out as he grabbed the woman’s wrist with force. Yuan Jiaojiao yelped in pain and let go of Tang Beibei.
The man saw that there were scratch marks on Tang Beibei’s hand, caused by this woman. His face darkened.
“Senior Lu Fan, y-you… I-I’m fine.”
Tang Beibei saw him holding her hand and quickly shook it off. She took a step back to keep a distance from him.
Lu Fan adjusted his glasses. He was usually refined and noble, but at this moment, he was cold.
“Yuan Jiaojiao, apologize to Tang Beibei now!”
“Why should I? Lu Fan, don’t be fooled by this woman’s appearance. She’s a scheming b*tch. Don’t be fooled by her!” Yuan Jiaojiao said angrily.
Lu Fan chuckled. “Yuan Jiaojiao, you called her a scheming b*tch. What are you then?”
Yuan Jiaojiao’s expression turned ugly when she heard that. She glared at Lu Fan in embarrassment and anger. “How can you say that about me? It’s her. Tang Beibei has done despicable things!”
“What despicable things?”
Yuan Jiaojiao said with conviction, “She’s shameless. For the sake of money, she sold her body and even seduced you! It’s unforgivable. If word gets out, it’ll bring shame to our university!”
Tang Beibei couldn’t take it anymore when she heard this woman accuse her of selling her body again. She went up and slapped her.
“Slap!”
The noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
“You’re not awake, let me perk you up! I didn’t lose my temper and talked to you nicely and you think that I’m easily bullied?”
