CHAPTER 19: CHAPTER 19: TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR WORDS

The cold and indifferent, as if devoid of any human emotions, slender and beautiful fingers slid along the strap of the backpack and turned towards the few people who were spewing fragrant words.

Everyone was startled by her, backing away a few steps. The girl walking over was no longer just a high school student; she was more like a Female Asura emerging from the Asura Hell, stepping on the Guiding Flowers of the Netherworld...

A few boys realized they had been frightened by a girl and felt somewhat ashamed and annoyed. Their faces turned red, and to cover their embarrassment, they loudly questioned, "Qiao Qiqi, what do you want to do?"

"People should take responsibility for the words they speak! Don’t you agree?" Qiao Qiqi’s dark eyes stared fiercely at the boy who had just been spewing insults.

"I... I... Was I wrong? Then explain why Chairman Qiao didn’t send his biological daughter but sent you, an adopted daughter?" The boy continued to be stubborn.

"Well... you could ask Qiao Yue’er; she knows best!" Qiao Qiqi casually glanced at Qiao Yue’er.

Just a moment ago, when she and her father were being slandered, she could explain, but she didn’t, letting these classmates spread rumors!

It’s understandable that she hates herself!

But her father has raised her for almost eighteen years, pampering her to the extreme, and yet she allows others to slander her father’s character!

Indeed, Qiao Yue’er is a heartless ingrate!

Qiao Yue’er’s face turned pale in an instant; she feared that Qiao Qiqi might reveal the truth, letting people know she wasn’t the eldest daughter of the Qiao Family. She pretended to be angry and said, "You are really too much! If any of you dare to talk nonsense again, I definitely won’t let you go!"

"..."

Seeing the anger on Qiao Yue’er’s face didn’t seem fake, everyone felt a bit speechless for a moment.

"Let’s go, it’s really boring." A boy said, turning to leave.

"Wait a minute, you three and you... apologize immediately!"

Qiao Qiqi looked expressionlessly at the three boys and one girl, determined not to let anyone who bullied her go again!

"Ha, apologize? To you, this ugly girl? In your dreams! I’d never apologize to a country bumpkin like you!"

"Exactly! Apologize to you? Are you worthy?"

"An adopted girl from the countryside and you want me to apologize? Dream on!"

Qiao Qiqi wasn’t angry at these three boys at all; she looked at the girl who seemed hesitant and asked, "Aren’t you going to apologize either?"

The girl’s face looked a bit ugly, and she whispered, "Sorry!"

She turned and ran away.

Qiao Yue’er and Qiao Yun’er watched as Qiao Qiqi got choked, feeling delighted in their hearts; as long as they saw Qiao Qiqi suffer, they were happy.

"Qiao Qiqi, let it go. Nobody did it on purpose!"

"That’s right, Qiqi, we’re all classmates, and I’ve already cleared things up for you, so let it go. We’re all classmates!" Qiao Yue’er also chimed in at the right time.

"Exactly, they just casually said a few words, and you didn’t lose anything, so why hold on to it?"

Some classmates also felt that the boys just made a few careless remarks and it was no big deal. Qiao Qiqi didn’t suffer any loss, yet she insisted on holding this grudge, which made her seem petty.

The three boys listened and felt incredibly moved; they felt that thinking Qiao Qiqi was pretty earlier was just them being blind!

Qiao Yue’er was the real goddess!

Listening to these words, Qiao Qiqi felt a slight chill in her heart. Her delicate fingertips gently slid the strap of her backpack, her voice icy cold.

"If today they were slandering you and your father, would you just let it go?"
