Chapter 498 - Apologize!
With Jing Fei’s order, the rest of the people rushed forward.
Unfortunately, the moment he heard Gu Yunqing’s voice, all the cells in Jin Peng’s body had become alert. Therefore, he reacted almost as soon as someone moved. He suddenly rushed forward!
Jing Fei chased after him and shouted, “Stop running! The school is already under our control!”
When Jin Peng heard this, a fierce look flashed across his eyes. He ignored Jing Fei and looked around. He was blocked by Jing Fei’s people and eventually ran away to a more remote area.
He looked at the familiar scenery and knew that he was surrounded. His eyes darkened and he said to Gu Yunqing, “Where are you?”
Gu Yunqing said, “Do you know where the dormitory is? But why does your tone sound bad?”
“It’s okay. I’ll be right over. Come out and find me.”
Gu Yunqing did not think much about it. “Okay.”
In the dormitory.
Gu Yunqing, who had hung up, was staring at Xue Xi with a sharp expression. She said, “Jin Peng is coming here. Do you dare go out and confront him?”
Xue Xi was baffled. “Why should I confront him? There’s something dirty in the drink. I’ve already called the police. The police will investigate everything!”
Gu Yunqing sneered. “Do you think you don’t have to face these things by hiding in the dormitory? Ha, it’s too late to feel guilty now!”
After saying that, she walked towards the entrance of the dormitory.
Xue Xi entered the dormitory while Xie Yingying and Li Zixia stood beside her unconditionally. Sun Kexin glanced at the drinks on the table and said silently, “Xue Xi, if you don’t like this drink, I won’t drink it.”
She glanced at the other person and both of them tried to persuade her. “Gu Yunqing said that she wants to hire a lawyer. Are you really not afraid?”
The two of them were friendly, so Xue Xi said, “Don’t worry. There’s really something wrong with this drink.”
“What problem can there be?” Someone refused to believe her. “I’ve always liked this brand of beverage. I’ve been drinking it for so many years, but there hasn’t been any problem. I’ve never had an addiction problem. How is that possible? Xue Xi, your lie is too obvious.”
Someone else blocked the door of their dormitory and whispered, “Could it be that she added something into the drink and planned to ask for compensation from Jin Peng? Is that why she came up with this conspiracy theory?”
“I think so too. It’s too ridiculous to say that there’s something in the beverage. This beverage has been popular for many years. It’s not only in the capital, but there are also many smaller places out there!”
“Xue Xi, you went overboard this time. If I were Jin Peng or Gu Yunqing, I definitely wouldn’t let you off!”
Just as they were talking, someone jogged in and shouted, “Xue Xi, the dean of the Academic Affairs Office is standing outside and calling you out.”
The rest asked, “What’s wrong?”
That person explained, “We just happened to arrive here. Gu Yunqing saw the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office and complained to him. Now, the Dean is asking Xue Xi to go out and clarify things.”
The others looked at each other, clearly feeling that Xue Xi had reaped what she sowed.
The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office called for someone, so Xue Xi had to give him face. Hence, she walked out and Li Zixia and Xie Yingying followed.
They had just reached the entrance of the dormitory when they heard Gu Yunqing complaining to the director. “We are all excellent students of Huaxia University. It’s too much to talk about people without any evidence. I have already contacted Jin Peng and asked for a lawyer. She is completely slandering our reputation.”
However, the director was biased toward Xue Xi. “There’s no need for this matter to blow up, right? She didn’t say it in public and only said it in private. I don’t think it’s a loss of reputation. You’re all classmates, so you should understand each other. How about this? I’ll get her to apologize to you and this matter will be over, alright?”
Gu Yunqing was furious. “Director, you’re siding with her too openly! This is too much!”
The director smiled awkwardly. “As for Jin Peng, I’ll tell him myself later.”
The director turned his head and saw Xue Xi walking over. He hurriedly said, “Xue Xi, did you say that there’s something wrong with Jin Peng’s drinks?”
Xue Xi raised her brows. “I didn’t say it.”
Gu Yunqing: “?”
She immediately panicked and said, “What do you mean you didn’t say it? You said it in front of everyone. Are you denying it now because you think everyone who listened to you just now is a fool?”
Xue Xi frowned and looked at her. “I said that there’s a problem with a particular beverage. I didn’t say that there’s a problem with Jin Peng’s family’s beverage.”
Gu Yunqing glared at her coldly. “What do you mean?”
Xue Xi said, “Is Jin Peng really the owner of this beverage company?”
Gu Yunqing was stunned.
Although this beverage could be seen everywhere, because of its cheap price, she did not notice who the owner was. When Jin Peng said it, she believed him.
But what did Xue Xi mean?
She reacted and found it even more ridiculous. “Just because Jin Peng stopped pursuing you, he can’t be a rich second-generation heir? Xue Xi, you’re too ridiculous! Does he need to lie? Do you know how much his bank balance is? Do you know how much money he has on WeChat? Your words are really ridiculous!”
Gu Yunqing immediately said, “He has seven to eight hundred thousand yuan in his WeChat account and a few million in his bank account. With so much money, does he need to pretend to be a rich second-generation heir in a small beverage company? Can’t you use your brain before you speak? The more you say, the more ridiculous you sound!”
The surrounding students also looked over and pointed at Xue Xi.
“It really doesn’t make sense this time. This beverage isn’t a big brand. There’s really no need to use it to pretend to be a rich second-generation heir.”
“Aren’t hallucinogens too far removed from us? It’s really fake. I originally thought that Xue Xi was not bad, but this time, I think she’s too exaggerated.”
“Xue Xi, apologize. It’s your fault this time!”
“That’s right, there’s nothing to argue about. The apology is a done deal!”
Even the director looked at Xue Xi and pointed at her. “Regardless of whether Jin Peng is the son of this beverage company’s boss, you shouldn’t say this. Just apologize and this matter will be over! It’s not a big problem…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yunqing screamed, “How is it not a big problem? Dean, she should write a self-reflection letter of eight thousand words! Otherwise, even though I can accept it, Jin Peng can’t!”
After she finished speaking, she heard footsteps behind her. She quickly turned around and saw Jin Peng running over. He was very fast and was sweating profusely.
Gu Yunqing’s eyes lit up as he ran toward her. “Jin Peng, you came at the right time. Tell them, are you a rich second-generation heir of the beverage company? Tell me, what should we do if Xue Xi slanders you here?”
Just as she finished speaking, she saw—
