Shen Wanqing never could have imagined Gu Anxi would do such a thing. Gritting her teeth, she spat out, "Gu Anxi, you’re insane! I’ll get Uncle Qin to sue you. I’ll get Professor Gao to expel you."
Gu Anxi smiled faintly. "Without your Uncle Qin and Professor Gao, what can you do?"
Tears welled in Shen Wanqing’s eyes. Humiliation was etched on her face, and her lips trembled. "I can paint! I’m going to participate in Jiaxing’s auction! Gu Anxi, all you know is how to use your fists! You’re just an uneducated Taiyi brat!"
"Is that so?" Gu Anxi sneered, yanking Shen Wanqing to the ground.
Lin Qi tried to intervene, but Gu Anxi kicked her, and she crumpled to the side like a dead dog.
Then, Gu Anxi’s white sneaker pressed down on Shen Wanqing’s right hand. Her voice was soft. "Apologize."
Shen Wanqing stared at her hand, her eyes wide with terror. "Gu Anxi, what are you doing? Are you jealous? Do you want to destroy my hand?"
"That’s right!" Chu Yan came over with her phone, pointing it at Gu Anxi’s face. "Anxi, your face is seriously flawless from every angle. I can film you up close ... You’re so beautiful!"
Gu Anxi was speechless. "Just film Shen Wanqing."
Chu Yan grinned. "But you’re prettier than her. I can’t help myself..." She then aimed the camera at Shen Wanqing and tossed a piece of paper to her. "Just read this. That’ll be your apology."
Shen Wanqing was thoroughly humiliated. Of course, she refused. She didn’t believe Gu Anxi would actually dare to crush her hand, so she said defiantly, "I won’t read it."
"Alright." Gu Anxi’s foot pressed down harder, without the slightest hesitation.
A wave of excruciating pain hit Shen Wanqing, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She immediately shrieked, "I’ll read it! I’ll apologize!"
She knew very well that without this hand, she would be worthless to the Qin family. How could she maintain her status then? As long as her hand was unharmed, she could make a name for herself at next month’s auction. After that, Gu Anxi would be insignificant!
Gu Anxi eased the pressure from her foot slightly.
Deeply humiliated, Shen Wanqing reached for the paper. Anger flared in her eyes as she read it. "Gu Anxi, you’re distorting the facts!"
"You know perfectly well whether I am or not. You can choose to read it or not. Let me tell you, I can crush the bones in your hand with ease, and it’s a price I can afford to pay." Gu Anxi said softly, "Think about the consequences, Shen Wanqing. Can you afford them?"
Shen Wanqing glared at her, gritting her teeth, clearly stalling.
Gu Anxi picked up the paper, a faint smile on her lips. "You’re hoping Professor Gao will come to save you, right? Sorry, crushing your fingers will only take a second. I’ll count down from three... two... one..."
"I’ll read it!" Shen Wanqing’s voice trembled as she snatched the paper and began to read:
"[I, Shen Wanqing, was wrong to initiate the cyberbullying against Wang Qin. I apologize to student Wang Qin and promise that I will never discuss her or speak ill of her in public or private again. If I break this promise, then I am a shameless, two-faced, manipulative, wicked woman...]"
The list of self-curses went on.
The entire school was stunned into silence.
Gu Anxi looked at Chu Yan. "You wrote this?" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Chu Yan put on an innocent look. "I was just expressing my true feelings. Is there anything wrong with that? I don’t think I even managed to write one-tenth of it!"
Gu Anxi was speechless.
Even Wang Qin managed a faint smile at this!
For some reason, even though it felt like all hell had broken loose, with Gu Anxi there, she wasn’t afraid. It was as if the wounds she’d suffered before didn’t hurt so much anymore.
Just as she was about to speak, the door was slammed open.
