He lost his patience. Suddenly, he coldly said, “Bai Jing, with a family background like yours, you really shouldn’t be pining over someone else’s husband.”
Bai Jing’s heart missed a beat. She didn’t expect Zhao Zheng to be able to see through her. She felt guilty but she didn’t show it.
She tilted her chin up and snarled, “Professor Zhao, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Zhao Zheng smirked coolly. “You do.”
He smirked. “In what way are you better than Xuxu?”
How was she better than Xuxu?
That woman was indeed intelligent and extremely capable, but she was definitely on par with her.
Besides, she was younger than her. Youth is an a.s.set.
“Professor Zhao, I have something on. I’ll make a move.”
Bai Jing didn’t answer his question. She turned around and left.
She didn’t want to spend any more time with him. He was annoying.
“Bai Jing.”
Zhao Zheng called after her.
She stopped in her tracks. She looked at him and asked, “Professor Zhao, is anything the matter?”
Her annoyed tone infuriated Zhao Zheng. “Your father saved Yan Rusheng’s life. If not for that, your paths would never have crossed.”
He paused, but not giving her a chance to say anything. “I like Xuxu. I have since middle school. I haven’t gotten over her after all these years.”
Bai Jing smirked. “Then Professor Zhao, in what way are you better than Yan Rusheng?”
She sized him up, annoyance in her eyes.
She didn’t give him a chance to answer. She continued, “If your father wasn’t a teacher at Yizhong, with your family background, you wouldn’t have enrolled in Yizhong and your path would never have crossed with Yan Rusheng and Xuxu’s.”
Bai Jing gritted her teeth, her eyes glimmering with hatred. Her words were like a knife that sliced through him, revealing his innermost insecurities.
Zhao Zheng smiled coldly. “You’re venomous indeed.”
Bai Jing maintained her aloof smile and her tone was increasingly arrogant when she replied, “I just know how to stand up for myself.”
“Yan Rusheng is rich and of high status. Don’t you wish you could have such a good-looking man?” Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrow, his smile widening.
His smile was malicious.
Of course, she wished she could. But he already has a wife and children, and he loves them very much. So what if she wanted him?
Bai Jing, don’t be tempted by this disgusting fellow.
Then she smiled and said to him, “Professor Zhao, you’re a teacher. Is teaching someone to be a mistress part of the syllabus?”
Zhao Zheng snorted. “Quit pretending, Bai Jing. We can work together.”
Bai Jing mocked, “Professor Zhao, I didn’t expect you to stoop so low.”
Zhao Zheng ignored her taunts and said, “Tomorrow, I can give you a chance to get closer to Yan Rusheng than you’ve ever been before.”
“I don’t need it.” Bai Jing tilted her chin up and turned to leave.
“There are only four places in T University reserved for students in the entire capital city, and Yan Rusheng fought for a place for you. Why do you think he tried so hard to do that?”
