Chapter 576: Who Dares Bully You?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I heard that you got admitted here, so I came to see you.” Xie Dongqing looked at her worriedly. “What happened?”
Li Weiyun’s face was horridly pale, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
“What’s wrong?” Xie Dongqing became even more concerned. “Who bullied you? Tell me, I got your back!”
As Xie Dongqing offered gentle words of comfort, tears began falling down Li Weiyun’s face again, sorrow rising within her.
She wasn’t usually such a princess, and she had always hated crying. She looked down on women who tried to win men’s hearts by crying.
However, she just couldn’t seem to hold back her tears right now.
It had been a rough day.
She’d lost the ore, and Qiao Yanjue had come all the way from City G not for her, but for Xia Xibei!
On top of that, she had to bear with her father’s rebuke. It was just too much to take.
Her tears kept pouring down in torrents as Xie Dongqing tried to comfort her.
Xie Dongqing panicked when she started crying.
“Hey, don’t cry! What actually happened?”
As far as Xie Dongqing could remember, Li Weiyun had always been a proud, confident young lady. There was no way she would cry in front of people.
Just how much had she been through to be crying so hard?
“I…”
It took Li Weiyun quite a while to stop crying, seeming embarra.s.sed.
Still sobbing, she wiped her tears, and said in a quiet voice, “I’m so sorry. I kinda lost it just now.”
“It’s alright, you don’t ever have to say sorry to me!” Xie Dongqing’s eyes lit up, and she smiled, “But could you tell me what happened?”
Li Weiyun took several deep breaths, and her eyes soon turned hateful.
“There’s this wh*re!”
It made Xie Dongqing even more curious.
Who had the guts to bully Li Weiyun? Who was capable of that?
Li Weiyun’s mother was Xie Dongqing’s aunt, so they were considered rather close.
However, the Xies were no match for the Lis in terms of wealth and power, so Xie Dongqing had always felt somewhat inferior in front of Li Weiyun.
Li Weiyun was proud and arrogant around everyone.
Even though they appeared close, Xie Dongqing had always looked forward to seeing Li Weiyun getting into trouble.
“What wh*re?”
Xie Dongqing looked all sincere and concerned.
After having been berated by her father, Xie Dongqing’s att.i.tude gave Li Weiyun the desire to confide in her.
“That wh*re set me up…”
Although it was embarra.s.sing to tell, she knew that there was no way she could sweep it under the rug. After all, many people had witnessed the incident.
She might as well be frank with Xie Dongqing, letting her hear it from her own mouth rather than on the grapevine. At least she could win her over and get an ally.
Xie Dongqing was surprised as she listened to Li Weiyun’s recount.
She had heard about the discovery of an imperial green jade in the suburb earlier that day, but she hadn’t expected Li Weiyun to be involved in it!
And it turned out that she was ridiculous!
However, she put on a feigned look of indignation.
“That was too much of her!”
“I know right!”
After pouring her heart out, Li Weiyun felt a lot better. She seemed to have pulled herself back together, her eyes cold and grim.
“She must have been taking revenge on me!”
“Revenge? Why is that so?”
Li Weiyun’s breath caught in her throat, “She approached Yanjue by dirty means, so it’s only natural that she wants me dead!”
“Huh?! Qiao Yanjue?” Xie Dongqing was truly shocked to hear that.
That girl turned out to be related to Qiao Yanjue?
“I thought Qiao Yanjue and you are-”
Li Weiyun cut her off with the sullen look in her eyes.
“Don’t think that she’ll come to a good end! She’s nothing but an upstart! I could end her anytime!” There was a spiteful, vicious look in her eyes.
Xie Dongqing looked around a bit, then asked in a quiet voice, “Want me to help you?”
