Chapter 452 - Who’re You Calling A Rag?

Chapter 452: Who’re You Calling A Rag?

Shui Anluo was not aware of the past between An Qirou and Feng Feng so, naturally, she had no idea about the grudge Feng Feng has against Qiao Yaruan.

Hence, she thought it was rather strange for Chu Ningyi to say such a thing. It was so strange that she had no idea what this was all about.

Shui Anluo walked upstairs to sleep. Her mind was still unsure about the situation but late nights were not suited for overthinking.

By the time Chu Ningyi arrived home, Maid Yu and the little darling were already asleep. He did not take the little darling back to avoid disturbing Maid Yu from her sleep.

After Chu Ningyi returned to his room, he lay on the bed alone as he mulled over Lan Xin. What should he do to make her take the bait on her own? Does he really have to wait for her next act?

Shui Anluo and Qiao Yaruan were woken up by the noises in the hallway. Shui Anluo sat up and scratched her head. She stared into space for half a day before remembering that it was the first day of school today.

“Empress Dowager?” Shui Anluo got up to check on Qiao Yaruan. She was still groaning about her headache.

Shui Anluo rolled her eyes and shot her with the words, “Serves you right.” She then went to the washroom to relieve herself.

Suddenly, someone knocked on their door and Qiao Yaruan cried out. She and staggered and crawled up to open the door before sprawling back onto her bed.

The people who had arrived were non other than their two other dorm mates — Chen Qiantong and Xin Le.

Chen Qiantong was tall but had a sharp and unkind face. Xin Le was a young maiden from the South with average looks but an unforgiving mouth.

“Qiao Yaruan, were you drinking in the dorm?” Chen Qiantong questioned irritably. Unfortunately, Feng Feng had thrown the beer bottles away so she could not find any proof.

Shui Anluo overheard Chen Qiantong’s harsh criticisms when she emerged from the washroom and chimed in indifferently, “Can’t she drink outside?”

“Heh, drinking during her job as a bar girl, I expect.” Chen Qiantong sneered.

“What did you say?” Qiao Yaruan suddenly got up from bed. She ignored the pain in her head and stood in front of Chen Qiantong. Qiao Yaruan was a few centimeters taller than Chen Qiantong so she gave off a sense of disdain.

Chen Qiantong stumbled back and stared at Qiao Yaruan who reeked of alcohol from head to toe. She sneered again. “Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Bargirl.” Chen Qiantong, who had gone home for the past two months, had no idea of what had transpired in ‘A’ City.

Shui Anluo caught Qiao Yaruan’s arm just before she landed her blow. She watched as Chen Qiantong put her luggage down. “Chen Qiantong, is that all you have to say about us? Or are you yearning to be a bargirl yet you can’t catch anyone’s eye so you’re feeling jealous?” Shui Anluo laughed mockingly, refusing to give way. She had given way before and had made Qiao Yaruan do the same as well. However, all she had received was an even more intense amount of scorn.

“You...” Chen Qiantong turned back and stared at Shui Anluo as if she never expected her to issue a retort. After all, Qiao Yaruan had always been the one to go against her. Now, she felt even more enraged as Shui Anluo was talking back as well. “How dare you? You’re just a woman who’s been used like a rag. You don’t even know who the father of your child is,” Chen Qiantong said in an acidic voice.

“Chen Qiantong, quit being so shameless, we’ve already given face to you,” Qiao Yaruan’s head was currently pounding to the extreme but Chen Qiantong had shot her mouth off ever since she stepped in, irritating her to the limit. She really wanted to beat her up now.

“What, did I hit on the right chord? Is that why you want to hit me now?” Chen Qiantong continued sneering.

“Who’re you calling a rag?” Just as Chen Qiantong had spoken, a voice dripping with ice suddenly rang from the door.
