Chapter 590: Bring It On! Let’s See Whose Background Is Better!
Because this matter was handled in the dorm hallway, all the students on this floor heard every single word. News of it spread faster than one could imagine.
“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” commented a girl, abhorrence undisguised on her face.
“Green-eyed monsters are everywhere. Still, it disgusts me to think that the top-notch Capital University would accept such a person as their student,” said her friend ruefully with a click of her tongue.
“According to the medical school’s students, Su Jiaying has to drop out of the university on her own or she will be expelled.”
“I don’t think that will happen. Don’t forget Su Jiaying’s background. No matter how good Gu Mang is academically, she’s just a small fry with a humble background. Would the university be willing to offend Bai Yufang for her sake?”
She asked in surprise, “Are you talking about the medical organization’s Bai Yufang? How is he related to Su Jiaying?”
“She’s his granddaughter! She’s part of the Bai family, friend!”
“Holy cow!” Her eyes widened in shock. “Will things end up with Gu Mang being expelled instead, then?!”
The guys from the traditional chinese medicine major were delivering two cartons of mineral water to the girls’ dormitory when they heard the discussion going on among the girls from the other schools. Their expressions changed to one of worry. Being medical students, they naturally paid attention to all sorts of news regarding the medical organization’s members, especially those who often appeared in the international medical journal, God Hand. Yu Zhongjing, the honorary dean of their medical school, was one of them, along with Bai Yufang, who was also a popular name featured in the journal.
Su Jiaying has such a family background? In that case, Gu Mang…
…
Thud! The guys dropped the cartons on the ground in front of the main gates of the girls’ dormitory. Tang Xiaoxiao, being the class’ welfare rep, came down with a few girls to help move the cartons of bottled water.
“Thank you,” said Tang Xiaoxiao. She then took out her phone to make payment. “I’ll transfer the money to Ding Hang through Alipay.”
“Sure.” Ding Hang nodded. He then asked, “Is Gu Mang okay?”
She stuffed her phone into her pocket as she responded, “Yeah.”
Nevertheless, Ding Hang could not help but be concerned over what he had heard earlier, so he told Tang Xiaoxiao about it. Even though he felt indignant on Gu Mang’s behalf, there was nothing he could do about it. The world was just so unfair at times and the weak could never stand up in front of the powerful. “You know what Bai Yufang is like. I don’t think Gu Mang will be able to get a fair outcome. You girls should go comfort her.”
Tang Xiaoxiao blinked in surprise, never expecting Su Jiaying to have such a background. The next second, however, she furrowed her eyebrows at the thought that the other girl might be let off scot-free despite the deeds she did. All she could do was curse, “D*mn it!” Are they bullying Gu Mang just because she’s a normal student from a humble background?!
Ding Hang let out a heavy sigh at that. “We’ll get going, then.”
She bobbed her head in response.
…
Back at the dormitory.
Su Jiaying’s belongings were still around despite everything that had happened. As Gu Mang lay sprawled on the bed, she held up her phone to return messages while fiddling around with a black embossed lighter in her other hand.
After sending out a message to inform the girls from other rooms to come collect their water, Tang Xiaoxiao put down her phone and took two bottles to hand to her roommates.
“Thanks, Xiaoxiao.” Zheng Miao reached for it with a smile. Gu Mang put her lighter aside, then took the bottle and placed it on her table while expressing her thanks politely.
“You’re welcome,” replied Tang Xiaoxiao, who thereafter looked at Gu Mang while feeling hesitant to speak her mind.
Upon sensing a pair of eyes on her, Gu Mang lifted her head and stared back at Tang Xiaoxiao for a couple of seconds with her eyebrow arched. “Do you have something to say to me?”
With pursed lips, the other girl took a few steps toward her and asked haltingly, “Gu Mang, do you know who… Bai Yufang is?”
She hummed affirmatively. Bai Yufang? She’s a cardiologist working for the medical organization.
