"Have you heard? Something big happened at the Xing Family Sea Cucumber Restaurant yesterday."
A girl of seventeen or eighteen was whispering to a few other girls.
"What happened? I haven't heard." The girls looked at each other and shook their heads almost simultaneously.
"Wen Qing, stop being coy, tell us quickly."
"Yesterday, I went to the restaurant with my uncle and some others, and we met someone you wouldn't expect."
"Who?"
"It was Li Feiyu from Class 3 in the first year."
"What about her? Doesn't she rent an apartment with her sister in the old residential area next to the school? How did you meet her there?"
"Is it possible her sister works at that restaurant, and she went to find her sister?"
The girls spoke in a flurry of questions.
"No. She was with an uncle, and that uncle was so handsome."
"Stop being a fangirl, and tell us what happened!"
"That Li Feiyu had her butt groped by a chubby kid, and she pushed him away."
"Isn't that normal? If a stranger touched your butt, you wouldn't be happy either."
"And then, guess what happened?"
"How would we know?" The girls all rolled their eyes.
"That chubby kid slapped Li Feiyu across the face."
"That chubby kid is so arrogant. If it were me, I'd scratch his face!" a short-haired girl said.
"Hmph, you don't know who that chubby kid is," Wen Qing said.
"You know him?"
"Of course, I know him. That's Wan Xiaodong, the son of Director Wan from the Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. He's got connections with many developers through his father, and they say he's worth tens of millions."
"No wonder he's so arrogant. He's a second-generation rich kid." The short-haired girl remarked.
"Well, he has the right to be arrogant. With money and power, I'd be arrogant too."
"You? Get real. How many of our sisters haven't you messed with?" Wen Qing scoffed.
"I like it, what's it to you?"
"Alright, what are you two arguing about? Tell us what the big news is!" the other girls interjected.
"Then a very imposing man came out. He just looked coldly at Wan Xiaodong, and that actually scared Wan Xiaodong into submission."
"What kind of man could intimidate a second-generation rich kid? Is he some kind of CEO?"
"What are you thinking? There aren't that many CEOs. But this man was truly rich. He threw several gold bars at Wan Xiaodong."
"Holy cow, no way! Is that man crazy? Why would he give Wan Xiaodong gold bars?" The short-haired girl swore.
"How would I know? That's just what I saw," Wen Qing said.
"You've said so much, and that's the big news you're talking about?" The girls were clearly disappointed.
"The big news is yet to come!" Wen Qing said, looking at the girls.
"Wan Xiaodong had his flesh and blood consumed last night, leaving only a pile of bones."
"Who told you that? Are you sure you're not telling a ghost story?" The others shivered, clearly not believing Wen Qing.
"I wanted to disbelieve it too, but I couldn't. My brother was eating at their table yesterday, and when he got home, he started having nightmares."
"Come on! Your brother is such a coward. If he saw that, wouldn't he be scared silly?" the short-haired girl said.
"Shut your jinxing mouth, your brother is the silly one."
"Is all this what your brother told you?" the girls asked Wen Qing.
"That Li Feiyu was slapped, I saw that. That Wan Xiaodong is dead, my brother told me."
"What did your brother say?"
"He said they died, all of them."
"What do you mean, 'all of them'?"
"There was another one, my brother's little girlfriend. She also turned into a pile of bones," Wen Qing said.
"How did your brother's girlfriend turn into a pile of bones?" The others clearly didn't believe it.
"I don't know. You know their circle is very messy. Maybe she was involved with that Wan Xiaodong."
"How can you say that about your brother's girlfriend?" the short-haired girl said.
"Stop acting so pure! If you weren't involved with my brother, I'll rip my head off and use it as a soccer ball," Wen Qing said, looking at her.
"I really don't know how my brother has such bad taste, even going for you."
"What did you say? Do you believe I'll make you..."
"Make me what? Don't bluff. If you say one more word, I'll gang up on you!" Wen Qing pointed directly at the short-haired girl's nose and cursed. "Are you getting too big for your britches?"
The short-haired girl, being pointed at and cursed, dared not say more.
"Alright, Wen Qing. You know what Xiao Hui is like, why get angry with her?" The other girls quickly grabbed Wen Qing's arms.
"So, you mean that chubby kid Wan Xiaodong provoked the wrong person?"
"I don't know. Anyway, my brother was quite scared by this and can barely speak properly."
"How did that Li Feiyu know that man? Did that man keep her?"
"How would I know?"
"She's so skinny, not an ounce of fat on her. Naked, she's no different from a man. I really don't know what that man likes about her," Wen Qing said.
"Maybe it's like Xiao Hui, she just likes that type."
"Her? At least she has two more lumps than that Li Feiyu! Li Feiyu isn't even a B-cup, a pure flat chest. If a plane landed on it, wouldn't it bounce?"
"Why?"
"Because of the ribs, it's uneven."
"You're too mean, but I like it!" The girls pointed at Wen Qing and burst into laughter.
Guo Xuyang did not expect girls nowadays to be so chaotic. He began to consider changing Xiao Yu's school.
