Chapter 896: Chapter 896: The Front Teeth Clock Out Early
A quarter of an hour later, people began to come over one after another.
Xinyan put down the book in her hand and looked at the people coming over. Soon, she found the person she was looking for among the crowd.
Xue Hongjuan was accompanied by three or four girls, discussing something.
Xinyan had excellent hearing and quickly caught their conversation: "Hongjuan, I heard Mr. Mu is celebrating his seventieth birthday, and all the prominent people in Beijing are invited.
This time you’re going with your family to congratulate him. It’ll be a perfect chance to get closer to Mu Haoming. It’s a pity we can’t attend; otherwise, we could help you out while we’re there."
Xinyan couldn’t help but glance at the girl speaking. It seemed she wasn’t a simple Miss either.
Then Xue Hongjuan said, "Bingjing, you’re always so good to me. Don’t worry; I’ve already talked to my dad about bringing you along."
A triumphant look flashed in Song Bingjing’s eyes, but she said, "Hongjuan, will that be okay? I remember your cousin is always at odds with you. I don’t want them to give you a hard time because of me."
Hearing this, Xue Hongjuan let out a light ’humph’ in her heart: "What are you afraid of? The Xue Family isn’t his alone, not to mention that besides my grandfather, it’s my dad who calls the shots."
The other classmates with Xue Hongjuan looked at Song Bingjing with envy.
Seeing Xue Hongjuan being so accommodating, someone chimed in, "Hongjuan, can you take me too to see the world?"
Xue Hongjuan looked at the one speaking with disdain, "With your looks, would you want me to take you and embarrass me?"
Those words made the classmate instantly want to find a hole to hide in out of embarrassment: "I was just joking, joking."
Xue Hongjuan gave her a sidelong glance and arrogantly walked ahead.
Song Bingjing cast a glance at the girl who just spoke and left a biting remark, "Truly, no sense of self-awareness."
After that, she swept a disdainful look and quickly went to catch up with Xue Hongjuan. The classmates behind also hurried to keep up, leaving no one to bother with the girl who had just been bullied.
Xinyan glanced at the girl standing there, unable to accept it: This is what becomes of sycophants, she felt no sympathy at all.
Seeing Xue Hongjuan walk some distance away, she raised her hand and flicked a stone in her hand, hitting the back of another sycophant’s knee who was following.
That person lost control and instinctively lunged forward, coincidentally pushing Xue Hongjuan square on the back, causing her to fall forward.
But the fall was disastrous; right in front were some steps.
Her face headed straight for the edge of the steps. As bad luck would have it, two of her front teeth were knocked out early, and with the inertia, her face slid down the stairs like being on a slide.
The agony must be known only to Xue Hongjuan herself.
Xinyan, sitting up in the tree canopy, winced at the sight, goosebumps rising all over her body.
Clicking her tongue twice, she thought: Now she’ll surely be quiet for a while, and if she dares provoke me again, it won’t be just a small lesson next time.
The incident happened so suddenly, that everyone was momentarily unable to react.
Once they snapped back, they hastily helped Xue Hongjuan up, the culprit paling with fright: "Hongjuan, are you okay?"
At this moment, Xue Hongjuan’s mouth was full of blood. She angrily and indistinctly said, "Who pushed me?"
Hearing the question, the person slightly trembled and was too scared to speak.
Previously walking slightly behind to Xue Hongjuan’s side, Song Bingjing glanced at the terrified person: "An Xiaohao, Hongjuan treats you so well, how could you push her?"
Upon hearing Song Bingjing’s words, Xue Hongjuan turned to look at An Xiaohao, who was holding a handkerchief wanting to help her wipe the blood from her mouth, eyes filled with murderous intent: "Do you have a death wish?"
The sycophant An Xiaohao, terrified, quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I didn’t mean to."
But now, with rage burning within her, how could Xue Hongjuan listen to her explanation? She raised her hand and gave An Xiaohao a slap, then raised her hand to feel her own mouth.
That touch was horrifying, and suddenly she began to scream like a madwoman: "My teeth, my teeth."
