Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl-Chapter 78 - Unspeakable Woe

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Unspeakable Woe

Chapter 78 -78 Unspeakable Woe

The onlooking students all found it a bit amusing, Xia Enci was just too direct, but they found her takedown quite satisfying.

Jiang Fanyue’s face still hadn’t recovered, and Xia Enci continued, “Nowadays, many products like to be priced high, just to fleece you rich folks. No wonder some people’s minds become so clouded after consuming these kinds of things—not clear-headed at all!”

The laughter of those around them grew unbridled.

Jiang Fanyue, already at fault and always the image of gentleness, where could she argue with Xia Enci here in this war of words?

She could only manage a forced smile and say, “Let it go, I was wrong from the beginning, say whatever you want.”

“Of course I’ll say whatever I want! Weren’t you just accusing me of being a thief, over and over?” Xia Enci kept at her.

“I’ve apologized, what more do you want from me? Is saying sorry not enough? Do you want me to kneel and apologize?” Jiang Fanyue was also getting uncomfortable.

“You!” Xia Enci was indeed at a loss with her.

Jiang Fanyue was clinging to the fact that she had already apologized, not wanting to entangle further with Xia Enci.

If Xia Enci were to say anything more, she would appear to be relentlessly pursuing the matter, somewhat excessive.

Seeing that Xia Enci had nothing more to say, Jiang Fanyue’s lips curled into a secret smile, and she turned to leave.

However, the next second, a snack hit her face hard, then fell to the ground.

Jiang Fanyue grimaced in pain, covering her cheek.

The one who had hit her was a Cai’er, thrown by Jiang Zhe.

When she threw it, her attitude was still casual and detached, her movement graceful as if she had just performed a dance move, rather than intentionally hitting someone.

From an onlooker’s perspective, the hit didn’t seem heavy at all.

But only Jiang Fanyue understood how deeply it hurt, her tears almost breaking free.

Jiang Zhe lifted her eyelashes, her voice indifferent, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to hit you.”

“Jiang Zhe, you!” How could Jiang Fanyue not realize that Jiang Zhe did it on purpose?

Not just on purpose, but with full malice!

Her face burned with pain, very uncomfortable, “Why did you hit me?”

“I told you, it was an accident, I wasn’t paying attention,” Jiang Zhe said slowly and deliberately.

Xia Enci and Xiao Meng couldn’t help but snicker.

Accidental, not paying attention—that was just what Jiang Fanyue had said earlier, wasn’t it?

Now Jiang Zhe was just returning those words back to her without change.

Thinking about this, Xia Enci and Xiao Meng felt incredibly vindicated.

The other onlookers knew full well that Jiang Zhe had hit Jiang Fanyue on purpose, but then again, they felt there was nothing wrong with it, and they too began to laugh.

“You did that on purpose!” Jiang Fanyue was becoming frustrated and angry.

Song Xingyu spoke up, “So you’re permitted to accidentally slander us as thieves, and a simple apology wipes it off, but Xiaozhe isn’t allowed to accidentally hit you? Come on, she apologized too, right? Or does she need to kneel for you too?”

The same rhetoric, continued to be fed back to Jiang Fanyue.

Jiang Fanyue, covering her face, thought about what had just happened and indeed she was in the wrong. Watching the other side outnumber her, with hardly anyone on her side, she had no choice but to swallow the setback.

“Alright, you said it yourselves, let’s wipe the slate clean. Let’s end today’s matter here!” Jiang Fanyue found herself an exit.

Seeing Jiang Fanyue clutching her face in disarray, Xia Enci’s unjustly accused anger dissipated. She shrugged and said, “Let’s keep eating.”

“What happened?” Zhang Xi and Song Yuan squeezed through the crowd and came running in.

“Nothing, just a little misunderstanding.” Jiang Fanyue said softly, “It’s been taken care of.”

Zhang Xi immediately raised her voice and asked, “Did Jiang Zhe bully you again? What did she do this time?”

“Really, nothing.” Jiang Fanyue knew Zhang Xi and Song Yuan were both very protective of her, but with the situation having escalated to this point today, making more fuss would only be more embarrassing.

So she explained everything straightforwardly, “I mistook Xia Enci for taking the snacks from my desk and spoke harshly. But she actually didn’t take anything.”

“Oh, I see.” Zhang Xi understood, “Well, that’s good. If she really had taken them, she wouldn’t have gotten away with it.”

“She didn’t.” Jiang Fanyue shook her head.

Zhang Xi nodded, “Next time she comes to you, I’ll keep a closer eye on her. What if she does something sneaky? Talking about being cousins, I think she might just be looking for a chance to mooch some food from you.”

Jiang Fanyue smiled bitterly, only then noticing that the so-called cousin was a young and graceful-looking guy with a strong scholarly vibe.

But what use was such a cousin?

It would be best to avoid contact.

“Stop it.” Jiang Fanyue said.

Zhang Xi didn’t continue on her behalf but opened her palm and said, “Fanyue, the snack you were talking about just now, it’s this one, right?”

“How could you bring this over?” Jiang Fanyue exclaimed sharply, her tone becoming strident.

This was her treasured Cai’er! How could Zhang Xi casually take it?

Zhang Xi nonchalantly said, “Song Yuan and I each had a few pieces, they tasted alright. We were going to split the last two pieces between us.”

Jiang Fanyue usually loved to bring snacks for them to eat, and as her best friend at school and home, Zhang Xi naturally never lacked for food.

Song Yuan always got a share as well.

So when Zhang Xi saw the Cai’er on her desk just now, she casually grabbed them all.

Jiang Fanyue was always generous, never minded about these things, and didn’t make a fuss when they helped themselves without asking.

“Only two pieces are left?” Jiang Fanyue’s voice rose sharply, sounding somewhat terrifying.

Zhang Xi also realized something was wrong with her emotions and said nervously, “If you don’t like us eating it, forget it. We’ll give these two pieces back to you.”

“I’m sorry, Fanyue. You always let us take snacks from your desk as we pleased, so Song Yuan and I ate some without asking you just now. We’re really sorry.” Song Yuan also noticed her mood was off and hurriedly apologized.

Both were meekly placating, fearing they had angered Jiang Fanyue.

Because of Jiang Fanyue’s sudden raised voice, everyone turned their eyes toward them.

Their looks were filled with confusion; obviously, they had heard of Jiang Fanyue’s generosity before.

Now that it was her own best friends who ate her snacks, any outburst from Jiang Fanyue would inevitably affect how others saw her.

Jiang Fanyue’s heart was bleeding with pain. The value of these Cai’er was immeasurable by money.

Especially since Gu Jiaheng had personally handed them to her, representing a certain affection towards her, she had intended to save them for a time when she could savor them slowly.

To have them carelessly eaten by others entangled her heart with rage, resentment, and sorrow, hurting more than her face.
